Cows In the Mississippi.
st. Pail Globe.


"Before you was born" said a bald-headed
old man from st, Louis, ~ was on the road.
People were not In such an awful hurry twenty
and thirty years ago as they are now. In
those days it didn't make any difference
whether they were In hurry or not, as limited
trains were not thought Of, and steamboats,
were the best and fastest means Of transpor-
tation.
II remember once Of starting from st. Louis
to St. Paul on q Steamboat think it WAS Ia
the summer of 1S64-and was on that steam
boat for fourteen days before the old tub got
into the then little town Of St, Paul. The
river was very low at that time Of year, and it
seemed to mo that we never would get through
as we spent good portion Of the time on
sand-bars The river had not been improved
in those days, but was just as nature left it.
Coming up between Hastings and st. Paul,
the water was very low, SO low, in fact, that
the cows used to 60 right in the channel and
cool themselves off.
at made it kind of bad for the boat as she
was not adapted to run over cows, and 1t was
q disgrace to navigation to think that cows
stopped boat on the great Mississippi, but
1t was fact, just the same, for twice the deck
hands were sent out in the river to chase the
cows away and give the boat a chance to move
along. The deck-hands rolled their trousers
up and just went in, stepped off the boat into
the river and walked right off. 1t sounded
funny to hear the men yelling 'sooky' to the
cows but finally the old cows got far enough
away, and the boat steamed up. l didn't
understand then, and don't now, why they
didn't go on aud gradually force the cows out
of the way, except 1t was very Improbable
trip and the captain didn't want to run any
risks Of damages for killing cows"

Parnell's Mysterious Homo.

One Of the most my sterIous matters connect
ed with the home rule movement to English.
men has always been to know where Mr.. Par
nell lives, writes London correspondent Of
the New York World. II anyone asked his
address OF an Irish member he was always d.
rected to write either to the house OF commons
or to the general office of the parliamentary
party. Even members Of the party who are
known to be on terms Of the greatest intimacy
with Mr.. Parnell have always declared that
they have not the slightest idea where he lived
beyond the fact that 1t was somewhere in the
country, not far from London. Every few
months, occasionally even at critical moments,
Ireland's uncrowned king would disappear en-
trely far week, nobody knowing what had
become OF him. A narrow escape from an &C.
cident which he had the other day has led to
the discovery Of his little retreat
On the Southeastern railway, about ten
miles from Charing Cross railway station, lies
the small village of Ethan, in Kent. One
approaches the little village by pretty road
such as Kent is famous for, and, passing
through the village, turns into . secluded
street Of semi-detached villas. A brougham
meets him at Ethan and conveys him to Wo
nersh lodge, the name of Mrs O'Shea's house,
the fifth OF the row. This is Parnell's mystic.
rious home. 1t is not his own home exactly,
but the homo Of his devoted follower and re.
cent parliamentary companion, the famous
Capt O'Shea. the negotiator Of the Kilmain-
ham treaty and many other similar thing s.
There Mr.. Parnell is either rs guest or lodg-
err Of Mrs. O'Shea.
Here the Irish dictator seeks repose from the
bitter struggles Of the house OF commons and
periodically hides himself away from the
world. He generally leaves Charlng Cross
station by late train after the sitting Of the
commons is over
The accident mentioned above was caused
by q large wagon laden with fruit and vegeta-
bles going in the early morning to Covent
Market garden, coming in collision with the
brougham, the latter being considerably dam
aged, but Mr.. Parnell escaped without the
slightest injury. He will owe that market wa
gon grudge however. as long as he lives for
causing the betrayal Of hi, well-kept secret.
The villagers Of Ethan, may add, know lit
tie about Mr. Parnelrs life, but speak of him
with admiration and respect.

Saint-Cyr watched it curiously. The

1.-THE BURNING OF THE BRUSH"
A Prose Poem Based on an Obsoles-
cent New England Custom

A Prose Poem Based on an Obsoles-
cent New England Custom.
Doubtless, says The LWtSton Journal,
the first settler and the oldest inhabi-
tant of Maine laid their heads together
and contrved the plan of keeping the
frost from the celler by banking up"
in the fall The origin of the scheme
is lost, but the ceremony remains, and
shiftless is accounted the householder,
of whatever pretensions or degree, who
does not, before snow drives, protect
his cellar walls by sawdust, edgings
from the saw mill, rushes, swamp hay,
bean vines, or, most common of all,
neatest and best, by brush from the
wood lot.
In mild November day in the late,
lingering, Indian summer the loads of
fragrant evergreen come up from the
pasture to the farmhouse, or 90 creak-
ing through the village street to the
market-place, or, perchance, directly to
some tidy, white, green-blindcd cottage
whose cellar is to entomb sundry bar
rels of apples and potatoes that must
be secured from the frost. Firmly
packed with snow and bound by icy
chains through the winter the boughs
are faithful guardians, but spring de-
mands her sacrifices. Nobody objects.
The evergreens have outlived their use
fulness. Let them be cremated So it
may some day be said of us.
Drag them away from their resting
place, the resinous fir, the 1.-the pine,
and the spruce on whose twigs the
children search for gum. Boys may
object to dropping potatoes, to stone
picking, to digging out of whiteweed,
or mending the stone wall, but no boy,
however footsore and weary, ever re-
fused to help carry off the brush. His
nose scents smoke in the air and his
minds eve discerns the trail of sparks
across the heavens. A bonfire never
lacks feeders or admirers.
In some big dooryard or on some va
cant lot forming their own funeral pyre,
the boughs crackle protest as the
match is applied, but anon the flame
leaps through the pile, and, darling
wildly upward, throws livid glow
across the face of the early dusk. The
boys, dancing like Plutonian imps
about the blaze, fling or fresh sacrifices,
and the flames seize them eagerly and
call ruthlessly for more. Heap them
on; there are more boughs in the back
lot! Build the pile higher! The moss
has been growing for years on the patri-
archal hemlocks in the south pasture,
but pluck the gray boards Off A hun
bred winters and summers have gone
to the building of the pines on rocky
hill. The wealth Of half century's
| suns and rains and dews are stored in
this balmy fir. The rosy morning has
blushed for it, the sun showered his
gold upon it, and the stars played boz
peep with the moonbeams through it's
branches. Only God and the years can
make another tree, but the work OF
God and time-the priceless work We
possess-is that which we destroy most
lightly and with least regret, and as the
life of the evergreen bough goes osss
and fades into white ashes the only sigh
drawn is that the sparkle and glow Of
| the fire IL Gu cnnn nyar aud tha hurni y, n
of the brush for this spring ended.
