business. High license is cinch." and
that is all there's OF it. If Americans think
that is the right thing to do, shall be sur

as good right to retail beer, wines and
liquors as the rich ones. High license
means shutting out the poor man, and Civ
ing the business of liquor selling over to a
few saloons run by wholesale houses.
High license would shut up $50 places
now bringing in rent and giving
men employment. Will that help
make times better? I see by letter in
your paper this morning that iaxpay-
ing mechanic y claims high license would
increase the city revenue. 1t might do so.
but it would be at the expense of the few,
and that is repugnant to all sense of right
and fair dealing. There may be too many
saloons, but think the question of supply
and demand will regulate that business as
it does all others. The increased revenue
would not equal the falling off in business
and employment from shutting up half the
saloons and bars in this city. For these
reasons, and because claim it 10 be wrong

Suspension of Navigation on the Hudson.
New YORK, March 2d.-The recent cold
snap has closed the Hudson river again.
and all the local steamboats, which had
started TO run from Peekskill down, have
had to stop. Some of them are frozen fast
to their docks. The river is nearly frozen
across at Tarrytown. Below Tarrytown
the tide has broken the ice up, and piled it
high along the shore, and the channel is
full of floating ice, so that if is impossible
for steamers to get through it. The ice. on
an average. is about eight inches thick,
where it has not been disturbed, but in the
channel, where it rises and falls, there
is no uniform thickness.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

" The Black Crook has not lost any,
thing of its original popularity in San
Francisco, as the crowded audiences there
recently to witness its revival at the Cali
fornia indicates.
S. A. Sargent has conferred favor on
the lovers of that which is best in song and
music by setting to music in the most
pleasing manner the three choice ballads

are the Swallows Fled" written respect

ant and Adelaide Proctor
Madam Patti had curious experience
recently of the enthusiasm of Roumanian
women. After the diva had ended one of
her particularly effective arias in the Buch-
Arrest Opera House, a number of ladies sud
denly rose TO their feet and threw white
pigeons with ribbons around their necks
on the stage, until the singer was sur
rounded by the birds.
Mrs. Langtry made pronounced success
a few evenings since at the Princess Thea
ter, IN London, as the heroine in her new
play, Enemies" by Charles Coghlan.
The play is an adaptation of the novel, 4" La
Grande Marniere," by George Ohnet, au-
thor of " LIE Maitre de FORCES " Serge Pa

scene of the drama to England, and has
arranged the episode in five acts.

THn VALLEY OF PALM.

Years toiled 'mong the reapers and worn
lab0rers
Earning. ali. little indeed more than LIES sus-
tenance,
Hoping far off to behold palms of peace and
Rising cool above the hot fields and grain tawny.
Long slept at night DER the horses heads and
in the sweet hay.
Hopefully hearing the keen, chirruping call of
the cricket,
The WOODWORK steadily gnawing above in the
heavy rafters.
Dreaming glad dreams OF when toll, and pain.
and life's hardships
Should bring to my tired limbs rest in the
shadow of full success
But the years went by, and CLEANER staid l still
in the harvest
Nearing the far-out field where the reapers
thickest are,
STOPPING in the dim light above the stubble
there cleaning.
Then looked far off for the palms, afar for the
fragrant GOODNESS,
And behold a great green valley filed with low
mounds grassy.
Then heard reaper saying, old. and toiling
slowly
al long to lie there at rest, the rest supreme
which He givcIh.
To those who fail not, nor faiter there is given
bliss greater and purer-
To walk where the palms are coolest, and drink
the cup full Of His mercy"
Then down the ripe grain passed wind sing
ing and fragrant
And for step unseen parted the ripening wheat
blades,
And every worn, tired reaper that patiently
reaped in the silence.
Knew to the close, soul-near, walked beside US
the Master.

AN OLD KEY.

Last night found an old forgotten key
Deep in an unused drawer: and quick tears

For ah / knew the story it would tell
or a familiar door, a vanished hand"

Papa is home r'-Ah, little loyal band
How oft your hearts grew sick with hope de-
ferred
In the time after for" Papa" went forth
And came not back. Then dawned some dark
some days:
The cottage home was sold and we came north
To gray city street, to tiowerless ways.
On the bright steel great spots of rust had
grown
1t would not turn so easily as then"
q thought,) land 'Rosebauk' is no more nv
own
Ihave no claim to enter it again"
Maybe its door has now different lock
And oh, if even l could venture there
What should find my misery to mock
Ghosts of the dead-strangers careless stare .
l took the key and laid it out of sight:
Since thou canst no more ope the door for
me
OF that dear home, thou needst not see the light,
For only doors of tears are oped by thee

on OF MUSTARD SEED FOR RHEuMArIsx.
London Truth tells of a gentleman, who.
after suffering much from the effects of
rheumatism discovered thatthere is green
oil in mustard seed, which cures it. When
he made his discovery, he, as he was be-
nevolent man, left in his will directions
that this oil should be extracted and ex-
tensiyely advertised, but never sold; ii
should be given away to all who applied
for it. Numbers of poor people get it. and
are cured of their rheumatism The wri-
ter says How | know about it is because
lady told me that she had applied for it
whenever she felt twinge and it acted
like charm. 1t is a green-colored oil,
and daresay, if it were sold instead of be-
ing given away, everybody would use it.
Some people are too proud to ask for it );
others don't believe in anything that costs
nothing, SO they go on having rheumatism
