Everything IL Lovely and the Goose
Hangs High.

This expression is a corruption of an old.
fashioned saying that originated in the early
days of this country.
As most of you know, wild geese, when
they migrate in autumn, form themselves in
to lines shaped like the letter V, the leader
flying at the point, the two lines following !;
and as they sail away, far above the trees,
and beyond all danger from guns, those
cold mornings when the air is clear, and the
sky beautifully blue, they seem full of glee,
and join in a chorus, 'H0Rk, hOnk hOHk Z"
Any one who has heard those curiously
sounding notes, never could mistake them.
And the folks on the earth below who heard
the birds wild call, in old times, realized the
happiness of the winged creatures in being
so high and safe Aud so it became quite
natural, when two persons met each other
under peculiarly circumstances for this or
that enterprise, for them to say every
thing is lovely, and the goose honks high :"

Miscellany.
An AmiaDIe Cynic.

An AmiabIe Cynic.
I've drunk good wine
From Rhone and RHINE,
And filled the glass
To friend or lass,
Mid Jest and song,
The whole night long,
And found the bowl
Inspired the soul
With neither wit nor wisdom richer
Than comes from water In the pitcher.
I've ridden far
In coach and car,
Sped fOur-in-hand
Across the land;
on gallant steed
Have measured speed
With summer wind
That Jagged behind;
But found more JOY for days together
In tramping DER the mountain heather,
I've dined, long since,
With king and prince,
In solemn state,
Stih and sedate,
Aud wished might
Take sudden flight
Aud dine alone,
Unseen, unknown,
On mutton chop and hot potato,
Reading my Homer or my Plato.
II comes TO this:
The truest bliss
For great or small
Is free to all;
Like the fresh air.
Like how'rets fair,
Like night or day,
Like work or play;
Aud books that charm aud make us wiser
Better to know than king or kaiser.

COMPLAINTS or THE RED STAR LIVE.

The Red Star Line yesterday published circular

that the " lines composing the so-called Continental
Conference had sent circulars to the agents through
out the country threatening withdrawal of their
patronage unless they ceased selling the Red Star Line
tickets. The latter company its agents that
they will be fully protected against such action The
agents are reminded that june "a at meeting of
all of tho lines of the conference il was agreed to con-
tnue the compact till July 81 The pool compact had
expired and friendly negotiations were proceeding

securing its share of the business under the scale
adopted in 1885 and in entire disregard of the agree

compel the European agents of the Red Star to cease
working for it. The Red Star people say that they
have received numerous expressions of confidence and
their intention to stand by the company. The agents
authorized TO reduce the Storage rate between
New York OF Philadelphia to Antwerp to $l5
The managers of the other lines charge that the Red
Star Company alone responsible for the trouble now
existing that they demanded diferential rate of 50
from the scale by the North German LLOYD as an
equivalent for the prestige and reputation which that
company enjoys. The North German Lloyd was
willing TO submit to diff. of 81 but thought SO
was too great handicap. 1t was supposed that the
Continental rate would cause a reduction of
