Golden Rod.

The flags in the marsh, the brown
sedge in the fields, and the light fluffy
grasses are elements of charm. The
pOkeweed in its lush bloom; and the
elderberries, black and bowling down
the bushes, are the type of thoughtless
generosity. Above them the liberal
chestnuts tower, holding their Ginevra-
prisons tight for the destined clutch of
frost. The birds have not much to say,
though now and then one calls or cries ;
the crow flies cawing overhead and
the tiny sparrows begin to hold fence
rail conference about departure. But
most Of all the gOlden-rOd characterizes
the seasOn-so honest, generous, lavish,
and withal most loyal. Nothing is bet
ter than the golden-rod to show what
our New England fall is,-it bears the
best mark the true work of a true
soul can be no more outspoken than
this glorious weed.-The Sdunterer.

Wanted-A Little Girl.

Where have they gone to-the little girls,
wish natural manners and natural eurls
Who lovether dOllies and like their toys?
And talk Of something besides the boys
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and Old of mind;
Little cid hirs who talk Of their beauNi
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine or ter,
Are sick of pleasure and tired OF men,
Weary of travel of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
Once in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children used to know;
Girls who were merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rOllcked the lve-lOng day.
They thought not at all of the style" of their
clothes,
They never imagined that the boys were
beaux"-
Other girls brothers" and males were they /;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone 10? Ifyou sec
One Of them, anywhere, send her to me
/ would give a medal OF purest gold
To one OK those dear little girls Of Old,
With an innocent heart and an Ien smile
Who knows not the meaning of" iiirt' or style

The Cause Of Temperance.
IT GETS A BOOM AT THE HARYEs
HOME IN LYNAM's WOODS.

i >
Notwithstanding the threatening
storm of Thursday, over 200 people
attended the harvest home held in
Lynam's woods, near Newport.
Nearly every hundred in the county
was represented, and prominent Demo-
Gratis and Republicans were present.
1t was a big day for the temperance
people and farmers of Mill Creek hun
dred. Fairview Lodge, l. o. G. T., of
Newport, sixty men strong, paraded on
horseback to the woods and were fol-
lowed by a procession of gaily-dressed
girls riding in festOOned wagons. A
delegation of the Stanton public schools
was present and added to the attrac-
tiveness of the day by parading with
large banner. About II O'Clock the
Rev. Mr.. Nelson, of Newport, CALLED
the gathering to order and Daniel
Green was made chairman, with long
list of vice-presidents. The first speak
er of the day was Richard NJ. Cooper,
the candidate for Congress, who spoke
nearly an hour. By this time it was
high noon, and through the kindness
of the w. c. T. U. of Newport and
Stanton the thrOng enjoyed the inter
mission by big dinner. At l.3O
o'clock William Dean took the plat
form and interested the audience over
three quarters of an hour, making a
strong speech on the corruption in
politics showing the various devices
used by the party in power in this
State. Frequent applause interrupted
the speaker, which only served to make
him the more in earnest.
James II. Hoffecker, the nominee for
governor, was next introduced and re-
ceived very enthusiastically. Charles
Mead, of New York, was the next
speaker and interested and instructed
the audience. George w. Todd, of
Wilmington, occupied the attention of
the people by explaining the platform.
He urged them to stand by and vote
for its principles. Although the day
was drawing to a close, the Rev. E. l..
Hubbard made a ringing address,.

ton was in attendance and helped to

Thus, we are assured by the testi-
mony of committee of the California
Legislature that the Chinese spent
over $14,OOO,00O in a single year in the
State-this large proportion of their
earnings going to the enrichment of
California.
Your correspondent uses q great deal
of wild and misapplied rhetoric in clos
ing. Of course this country is not a
place Of refuge for criminals; but these
Chinese are not criminals. On the
contrary, By the general testimony Of
all who know them they are, as u rule,
quiet, inoflensive and laW-abiding; and
all this talk about the industrious pio-
neers of 40 being met by an influx Of
degenerate humanity is the veriest
nonsense. The treatment OF the Chi
nesc in this country generally, and o5-
pecially upon the Pacific Coast, is q
dark page in history--a blot upon our
boasted civilization and any man who
adds by word Of mouth or pen to tho
prejudice against them is doing Satan 3
work to the satisfaction of his en-
ployer. S. L. BALDWIN.

IRISH Representation.

LONDON, May 27.-Two hundred and
fifty members of parliament attended a
meeting Of the Liberals to-day. Mr..
Gladstone was very vigorous and animated
in his address. He said that nobody
would be committed to the support ofthe
home rule bill by listening without protest
or objection to what he had to say in IA
vor of the measure, because he desired
the fullest liberty to prevail in the Liberal
party in respect to it. Lord Sal sbury's
recent speech, in which he said the BUSH
nses of England was to govern ireland,
had decided the condition of the contro-
versy, because he was the official spokes.
man of the opposition. The Irish policy
OF the governments opponents being,
therefore, coercion, the importance of set
ting the Irish question was now %intensi-
fled. 1t had been proposed to settle the
matter by the adoption OF an abstract res
%olution; by affirming the principle ofhome
rule for Ireland, but Mr.. Gladstone
thought the course proposed by the gov
eminent would answer better. An en-
deavor had been made to emascula,e the
principle of autonomy for Ireland, and
conve the bill into a delusion and a
snare.
Mr.. Gladstone warmly eulogized Lord
Harrington, who, he said, possessed in
tegrity and manlinoss. The premier.
however, at no point during his speech,
made any %allusion to Mr.. Chamberlain.
Concerning the matter of concessions.
Mr.. Gladstone said the government was
willing to submit to parliament a plan en-
titling L,ish representatives to be invited
to attend the imperial parliament when
ever proposals Of taxation affecting Ire
land We're up for consideration. More
over, if the house of commons so wished.
the government was ready to undertake
the responsibility of emitting the Irish to
be heard in the imperial parliament ON iul-
perial or reserved questions. Changes in
the home rule bill to accomplish these re
suits would, however, entail the recon
struction of the measure. The meeting
adjourned with three cheers for Glad
stone.
Mr.. Chamberlain and his followers will
hold another meeting Tomorrow to de
cile upon their attituie with reference to
the proposed notifications of the home
rule bill

PoWderly's Plan.

CLEVELAND, May 27.-To. night it is
said hat Powderly's plan for the future
government of the order is the establish
ment of a state assembly. There will
then be four assemblies. Local assem-
blies will be subordinate to the district,
districts to the state. and state to the na-
tional. The plan is reported to be very
popular among those of the delegates who
have heard of it. 1t will do away with
many unnecessary strikes. 1t provides,
among other things. that no assembly but
the state and national shall have power to
order strikes or bovcotts. If local assem-
bly, wants to order a strike, it must first
get the consent OF the district and then of
the state assembly.

ST. LOUIS. May 27.-Further features
in Maxwell's testimony to day were ad-
missions that his statement in a letter to
Preller, saying he held a certain medical
degree, was a lie: his contradiction of a
fornee statement that he wrote the mar
pinal notes in the wade mecum about the
best method OF administering chloroform
before he came to this country; his adj
mission, when shown the forged diploma
ofthe royal c%ollepeof surgeons of London,
that he wrote it, saying it was simply to
keep himself ur in the practice of pen
manship, anl his plea OF intoxication as
the means of accounting for other peculiar
statements and contradictions.
The Past Dip1th this evening states
that upon examination of Preller's re-
mains, which were exhumed for that pur-
pose, three doctors will testify hat the
presence of no such disease existed as
Maxwell claims to have treated.

Mr.. Richards, who electrified the ma
.ional conference OF charities at Washing
Jon last year by his eloquent plea for the
t~eeble-m:ndel, coull take to his heart, as
he did many years ago a boy 81 years old
with a mind 50 blank that every SENSE
sight, hearing, taste, touch all were
mute, he had never smiled, dill not know
his W mother, could not stan on his
teet or even roll over on the floor where he
lay. Mr.. Richards TOOK him to the insti-
tuition, bestowed every hygienic care upon
him, but for weeks could not discover one
conscious want. Think how full OF
wants the normal child is, an thus meas
ure the complete torpor of this ones mind.
Mr.. Richards then decided, as he sal | TO
get down to him" An hour a day for
three months he read aloud to him, as
though reading to an intelligent listener,
lying down beside hum. Then one day he
simply sat in a chair and read to himself.
The child appeared uneasy. Mr.. Richards
had created a want Lying down beside
him he said: You want me, Sylvanusi'
and the child breathed a responsive
sound.
Two or three months more Of patient
reading aloud and again he took his place
beside him in silence, and then saw the
child trying to do something, and grad
ually lifted his finger and laid it Oh the
readers lips. Again the reading was con
tinued, giving the child always the privi-
lege of thus opening the lips. AT last he
gave his friend a smile of recognition. Mr..
Richards said that smile paid him 10000
times for all he had done, and he said TO
