Rattlers are Getting 10 be Quite Plentiful
Again in the Hill Towns.
Snake hunters are astonished at the
great number of raltlesnakes abroad this
season. Until few years ago a rattle'
was a curiosity in Connections, but since
the hill towns began to grow up to brush
they have come in. In the beauGful
town Of Farmihgt ton rattlers are especial.
~ plentiful Zen have been killed IN
that town since the season opened. No

eight miles from that city, on Sunday

THE BURIAL OF MOSES
ArersrlNE J. H. pueAxNr.
tDeut, xxxiy., 4, SGT


tDeut xxxiy., A. 5, OF
b. Nebc's lonely mountain.
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land Of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw IL e'er,
For the angels Of God upturned the sod,
Aud lIid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the trampling,
or saw the train 60 forth
Nolselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
Aud the crimson streak on the oceans cheek
Grows into the great SUI
Noiseessly as the spring time
Her crown of verdure weayes,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
SO, without sound Of music,
Or voice Of them that wept,
silently down from the mountain S crown
The grand procession swept.
Perchance the bald old cage,
On gray Beth-peor S height,
Out of his rocky eyry
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot
Or beast and bird have seen and heard
Thai which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and mufb ed drum,
Follow the funeral car
They show the banners tak-H,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minutegun.
Amid the nobest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place
With costly marble drest-
In the great minister transept,
Where ights like glories fall.
And the sweet choir sings and the organ rings
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word;
Aud never earth's philosopher
Traced with this gaden pen,
On the deathless page, truths half so sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honorY
The hillside for his pail,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock Pines ike tossing plumes
Over his bier 10 wave,
And God $ own hand in that lonely land,
To lay him in the grave
In that deep grave without a name,
Whence his uncoflined clay
Shall break agan--most wond 'rous thought
Before the Judgment-day,
And stand, with glory wrapped around,
On the hills he never trod,
And speak Of the strife, that won our life.
With the Incarnate Son Of God.
O. lonely tomb in Moab'S land -
O, dark Beth-peor hill
Speak 70 these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still;
God hath his mistries of grace,
WAYS that we cannot tell;
And hides them deep ike the secret sleep
OF him He loved 50 well

Robert J. Btrdette IN the Brooklyn Eagle.
/ am not tickle, good, old bed of mine;
am not changeful in my honest love;
Absent from thee, for thy embrace pine,
Warmer thy bosom than the brooding dove.
My heart is never cold, old bed, to thee,
AS oft thy snowy sheets have been to me.
What though linger when the night is free,
And loiter when the starry hours wane
And midnight pauses ere come to thee,
Throbs thy white breast with any counter
pane.
Too oft an truant from the nest
Which oft my weary head with joy has pressed.
But when the rosy fingered hours OF dawn
Touch with prismatic colors all the sky,
oh, how love thee When the night is gone
How sweet upon thy restful heart to lie
And nap and dose and snooze till, peal on
peal,
Rings the third bell for mornings CHEEKY meal.
All, then, how can leave thee, gracious bed?
Health, peace and quiet rest find in thee;
Wrath and defiance hurl at the head
That would pronounce divorce 'twixt thee and
me;
My love for thee, cold as the stars at night,
Burns like the August sun at mornings light.

A Millionaire's Gay Son.


If young William r. Hearst, the editor of the
san francisco Examiner, runs over from Paris
te London, he will see the name of the lady to
whom he was formerly engaged in prominent
letters all over the dead walls of London. A1lss
Eleanor Calhoun and the son of millionaire
Hearst were engaged to be married three years
ago on the Pacific slope. Miss Calhoun is the
grandchild of the historical Calhoun and a re-
markably handsome and popular young woman.
Her reputation is beyond reproach, and she is
received in the best circles of London. Young
Hearst Tilted her. His action was very severely
commented upon at the time, and the unhappi-
ness of it affected Miss Calhoun so deeply that
sne left the Pacific coast and took up her per
manent residence in London. The fact that
Miss Calhoun missed marrying the son of S2O,
0OO,OOO IS no longer a source of regret to her,
for her success on the stage has been ample,
and tour of this country under Mr.. Abbey's
management is only question of time.
Rather good story is told about dialogue
tween young Hearst and his father in the Hoff
man house last spring. The senator was COM
planning to several friends of the way jockey
OF his had thrown a race at Sheepshead.
1T lost me pot of money" said the senator
with doleful shake of his head.
OF course it did, said young Hearst quickly
Your racing stable will cost you $500, 900 year
running it "a you do now. 1t is too big and ex-
pensive for any man."
The young mans tone was brusque and sharp.
His father raised his eyebrows thoughtfuly,
and then said dryly:

The Free Whisky Resolution.

The legislature, being democratic through
ard through, cannot consistently vote for
the resolution instructing the Georgia con-
gressmen to favor the repeal os the laws
levying taxes on whisky and tobacco. To
adopt the resoluti IN would be to say, in
effect, that the legislature of Georgia aban-
donS the principles of democracy, relative to
the tariff, and adopts those Of the Republican
party The resolution means nothing more
nor less than the abandonment cf tariff re-
form in favor Of free whisky. The national
platform Of the Republican party favors
free whisky before surrendering any part
of the protective system, and this resou-
ton is in harmony with that platform.
Why should democratic legislature, and
particularly the legislature of Georgia, which
state gave 10000 democratic majority at the
last election, adopt such resolutions Is it
because few men in the mountains persist
in violating the internal revenue lawsg Let
these men obey the laws and they will
have no trouble. If they RESPECT the laws,
they will not be molested. win the Georgia
legislature abandon the principles of
the Democratic party in order that a
handful Of its citizens may make whisky
without paying a tax If it does, it ought
to receive the condemnation of democrats
in all parts of the state.
If the whisky tax is repealed, there will be
no reduction of the tariff. The chance OF
getting cheap agricultural implements
and cheap clothing will be sacrificed fol
free whisky. Do tie people prefer free
whisky
