Treasure.

The flowers planted in the flush of spring
Have budded, bloomed, and withered long
ago;
The grain my lavish fingers used to throw
Long since was reaped for others garnering;
Yet am rich among my nature dearth--
My gold is where the rainbow touches earth.
My wealth is molten of full many an ore
Dug from the sacred caverns of the past;
Stored where the presents quiet light is cast;
Piled in the promise-land that lies before.
Ali blend together, all of priceless worth,
All hid just where the rainbow touches earth.
And memory, faith, and hope its guardians
are,
As holding loves strong hand make my way,
Knowing near little every day
The one sure goal where, passing DER the bar,
find. in all the glow of second birth,
My treasure, where the rainbow touches
earth.
All The Year Round.

new proprietor, having lately repaired
the mill, is now ready to do all the bust
ness that comes in his way.
The Sylvester Bros have recently
made many improvements in and about
their Touring mills and are in better shape
TO do good work than before. The internal
arrangements of the mill have been re-
modelled and some new machinery placed
in it. They have also rebuilt much Of
the water race that runs under Wiscon-
sin Avenue and have expended several
thousand dollars upon improvements.
This is an enterprising firm and your re-
porter is glad to make mention of such
evidences of success.
The circus, with its usual accompany
ing lot of swindlers, has come and gone
and several of our neighboring citizens
can safely testify to shortage of their
bank accounts. One poor old honest
granger wanted to put up a $1,000 on
one of their games but was prevented
from doing so by the banlerls refusing
to give him the money.

President Fitzgerald, the New Head Of
the Land League.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. %. Hon. John
Fitzgerald, the newly elected president
of the Irish National league of America,
arrived at home to-day from Chicago.
Fully 5000 citizens were at the depot to
welcome him, and his arrival was the
signal for Il general outburst of enthus-
iasm while innumerable steam whistles
and bells woke the slumbering echoes
for miles around. At the depot q pro-
cession was formed, headed by Governor
Dawes, Chief Justice Cobb and Mayor
Brock, and the illustrious Irishman was
escorted to the Opera House, where adj
dresses of welcome were made by Gov.
Dawes, Judge Cobb, Mayor Brock and
many other prominent citizens. These
were responded to by the newly elected
president and the day was spent by Mr..
Fitzgerald in receiving the congratula-
tons of his fellow citizens.

Reports from Texas indicate that Sat
urday's storm was the most destructive
ever known there. The wind attained a
velocity of seventy-fiye miles an hour,
and continued for eight hours. Every
town along the Western Gulf coast suf-
fered severely. In Forth Worth forty
houses were completely demolished and
hundreds had their roofs blown off.
From Indianola comes the saddest news.
Here the signal office was blown down,
carrying with it Capt. l. A. Reed, signal
officer. and DIR. H. Rosencrans, of Elgin,
H., both of whom were lost. Fire broke
out among the ruins and extended for
blocks, destroying thirteen houses. The
total loss to Texas is Thirty-eight lives,
$1,000, 900 to crops, 50. 400, 900 to city
and town property, and 100000 to
shipping and harbor improvements.
The views of Master Workman Ma
guire, of the Knights of Labor in New
York, as to the Pope's letter to Cardinal
Tasehereau, of Quebec, denunciatory OF
the order, would seem to indicate that
little attention will be paid to it by the
Knights. either in this country or in
Canada. The Pope's letter is sweeping
its terms; but the authorities of the
American Catholic church, articulate
through Cardinal Gibbons. are evidently
not prepared to construe the document
literally. They will doubtless make
representations to Pope Leo which vii
result in modification of the terms Of
the letter.

The Moro Vremya, newspaper of st.
Petersburg, boldly advocates the expul-
sion of Prussian officers who are study
ing the Russian language in Moscow.
No Russian paper would dare advocate
such course unless permitted to do so
by the government, and Noro Tremyo is
known to be very careful about avoiding
official repression, 1t was not long ago
the organ of Count Ignaticff, and is a
supporter of the Nationalist. The ut

of Francis Joseph of Austria and En-
peror William, Russia being left in the
cold.

Each Received q Lesson.

A young recruit recently enlisted
at Camp Hancock, near Atlanta,
while the country was threatening
war with Mexico, and he intended
to make a good soldier. One day
we was on guard duty aud was
slowly stepping along when an Of
fcer approached. After tue usual
salute the officer said:
s:Let me see your gun"
The raw recruit handed over his
Springfield rifle and a pleased ex-
preston stole over his face.
AS the officer received the gun he
said in a tone Of deepest disgust.
YOU'RE fine soldier! You've
given up your gun, and<how what
are you going to dol"
The young Albanian turned pale,
and reaching for his hip pocket, he
drew a big six shooter, and prepar-
ing for business, said in voice that
could not be understood:
"Gimme that gun or I'll blow a
hole through you in Il pair II min
uteS!"
The officer instantly decided not
to NEEDLE any further with the raw
recruit, and the gun was promptly
surrendered.

The weeping Tree.

The reader will have to go to tho
Canary Islands if he wishes to see
this tree, which is also called the
fountain tree. 1t lives in a con-
stant shower. The water exuding
from it's foliage falls in a coplous
rain from the branches. One of
these. of which there are three on
the Island of Hero, stands in the
midst OF little pond that it per-
petually supplies with water, hence
the inhabitants in the vicinity go
there to get their supplies. The
tree is a reservoir, a mahufactory,s
alabratory. Thesoner to- whictipar:
ticular reference is made in the
present instance is located on high
ground, about five miles from the
sea, and by the natives IS venerated
as IL holy tree; it's leaves constantly
distil enough water to furnish drink
to every living creature on the is.
land. 1t is distinct from other
trees, as it stands by itself. About
nine feetn circumference and three
in diameter, its branches overhang
Il circle of 130 feet around, being
thick and numerous. It's fruit re-
sembles in shape that OF the acorn
and tastes somewhat like the ker.
mel of a pineapple, but is softer and
more aromatic. The leaves are
like those Of the laurel. but are lar
ger and wider, with a sharp curve;
they come forth in perpetual sue
cession, so that the tree is always
green. On the north side OF the
trunk is sort of double natural
cistern, or tank Of rough stone,
each being about twenty feet
square and ten or twelve in depth.
One Of these is used by the island
ers and the other by cattle; per
sou is appointed to take care of it,
and make fair distribution Of its
water, and for this purp0re is given
