THE EsTHETIC OWL.

The owl sits perched on the hemlock tres
As wide awake as an owl can be,
The sky lie clear and the air is still,
And he boots to the night as long US he
will.
OH the light of the sun is no light for him,
Give him the moon and the starlight dim,
For all the hours Of the garish day
Deep in the thicket he blinks away.
To witt to whool there's another shout,
From the midst of the forest the cry breaks
out;
1t comes from the heart Of the doddsred
oak
And he knows full well the voice that spoke.
'Tis the signal shout that his mate has
made
Away it is time for their nightly raid.
Softly and slow through the gloom they go,
Wnging their way over field and wood,
While their eyebali stare with iendish
glare
At the thought Of blood
Woe to the mouse that is out Of his hole,
One squeak and the victim is swallowed
whole,
And struggling and raw in that ravenous
nav
He lies by the side of the delving mole.
The little songsters are all at rest
In leafy covert or cosy nest,
Not a thought or care or dream Of fear,
Though their deadly foe is lowering near.
One blow and the sharp beak drips with
gore
And the hapless minstrel sings no more
Savage OF heart with show Of sense,
Made up of feathers and sheer pretense,
Light-hating creature, moping and dull,
Mere glimmerings of thought in his muddy
scull
What title has he to wisdom's cresti
Out on the ownl he's fraud at best.
But when at last he has met his fate;
Like many spoier men call great,
Aloft and mounted his praise is heard,
And aesthetics say: "What a lovely birdP

Bush Otter, young Sioux, is the only
full-blooded Indian who was ever em.
ployed by an Executive Department of

legends which he learned in his fathers
Yigwam when a child. Otter repaired
to Hedgesville, W. Va, last summer to
pursue his literary work in that quiet
town. There he met a charming white

The Albany Aryu' says that crusade
against cigarette smoking has been in
augurated along the Hudson River, and
what is termed IA moral boycott" is the
instrument used TO bring about the de-
sired result. Physicians say the number
of cases of serious illness traceable to the
pernicious effects Of cigarette smoking is
very large, and that it is high time to
call halt. Results of the crusade can be
seen in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, New
burg, etc, where signs are displayed: :

movement is bsing warmly indorsed by

But the farmer said he couldn't see how that would have made any dif- ference with the whisky.
 "Neither do I I" said the frishman, after scratching his head for mo- ment.
 As soon as the rope was loose, the driver gave yell to his horses, cried goodbye to us and away the stage went with every horse on the keen run. We hurried of little distance from the road, broke open the box and Igolied out more gold than l ever ssw
 one heap before. We divided the
 Dney into four lots right on the
 ot, and each man took his share, for EFe could not tell how soon we might lave to run from the officers. We did not lose much time, put mounted our horses and rode down Butte creek . few miles and then struck across the bottoms for the Sacramento river, and the next day got aWay oyer into the Coast rxnge, where we were safe. Gray and the other fellow were not ntis6ed to hide . little while, but wanted to get back to some little town 70 e to hsve good time.

If VIC had saved the money we took

If we had saved the money we took we would have been rich, but we lost most of it at faro and on horse races.
 We travelled through Oregon and Washington and then got into Idaho. Here we fixed up job and got away with 1t in fine shape, but fellow we had with us got into the hands of the officers and blowed on us, and we were both arrested.
 The rascal turned states evidence, and both Jim and l were convicted and sentenced to prison. Poor Jim died there, and I swore that if ever l got out would make 1t hot for the chap that sent us to jail. There was . long pause and the doc- tor, who had listened very patiently to the robbers story, stepped up to the table to give the man stimuiant. He shook his head and said: "No more for me; my time is nearly up, and I want to die with clear head" Waiting moment longer, he continued: "To-night found him. .''
 "Yes, and got a shot for your trouble" replied the doctor, looking at the strong man stretched on the bed before him.
 "But not till had fixed him. said the man. "He has paid the debt he owed Jim and me, for he is dead be- fore this"
 Another pause. Then he said slowly: "You have got the money, doctor?"
 "Yes."
 "And will see me decently buried?"
 "I will," was the reply.
 This seemed to satisfy the man, and he dropped off into short sleep, When he awakened from this his mind began to wander, and he went back to his first stage robbery, now talking to Jim and now calling on the driver to halt and throw up his hands. Then he talked of tine mines. His sentences were short and broken, for his strength was failing fast. Before morning he was dead.
 His true name was never known and if he had friends or scquain.ances he never mentioned them. The head stone that marks his resting place has upon 1t only the words, "Idaho Bill died July 15, 1884"

 erai Horace Porter. in scribner's.
 When the roads forming the line be- tween Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa., were chartered in 1885 and town meetings were held to discuss their practicability the Hon. Simon Gamer. on, while making speech In advocacy of the measure, was SO far carried away by his enthusiasm as to make the rash prediction that there were persons within the sound of his voice who would live to see passenger take his breakfast in Harrisburg and his supper in Philadelphia on the same day. A friend of his on the platform said to him after he had fn- ished, "That's all very well, Simon, to tell to the boys, but you and I are no such infernal fools as to believe it.S They have both lived to travel the distance in little over two hours.

Artssian wells.

Mr.. George Hawkins is still
boring artasian wells in the North
western portion OF the city with
good success. At little over 100
feet flow Of good pure water is
secured, and with such water there
is no danger OF typhoid fever or
kindI ed diseases produced by impure
water. The regular CITY supply is
always short in the Summer months
and in the Fail is more or less i'm
pure. Mr.. Hawkins is now the
sole proprietor Of the well boring
outfit and is prepared to sink wells
to any depth up to 900 feet. Every
property holder should have a good
flow OF drinking water in his yard
and it pays for itself in a single
season by guarding the family
against diseases arising from impure
water. The artesian we'll is pro-
nounced by all physicians to be the
best and purest source OF water
supply for family use. Ali surface
water is more or less contaminated.

A Word to 0rmsby Repub ic-

A Word to Ormsby ReDub ic-
ans
| It was purely through apathy
that there was no meeting last Sat
urday night to ratliy the Repub-
lican county ticket.
| We use the word "apatliy," at
the same time entertaining the idea
| that there is a disposition on the
part OF some to let the ratifying go
by default
Every candidate who took his
chances in the Crawford primary,
and every voter voting there should
be on hand to ratify the county
ticket. There is too much apathy
in county politics in Ormsby at the
present time.
1t has been thought all along
that the Democrats would not put
up any county ticket. Perhaps it
is this very apathy to which the
APPEAL calls attention that they
have noticed, and which has settled
the determination to place a ticket
before the voters.
Many people think that the Re-
publican ticket has a walk over.
Not by any means. Death and
change of residence has taken at
least IS Republicans from the Reg
istry list, and many new Demo-
Gratis have come in here to work in
the Mint and Public Building. 1t
is idle to judge the vote of two
years ago as showing the trend of
county politics for this year. The
Mugwumps phi up ticket, and it
so disguised the Democrats that
many old line Democrats refused to
vote tor it. This year the regular
Democrats have decided to run q
ticket, and it is dollars to doughnuts
that the old Mugw ump element will
support it in preference to anything
that is straight Republican.
With these facts in view, it be-
hooves the Republicans OF Ormsby
to be up and stirring early in the
day, ard take such action AS will
result in the election OF the ticket |
by handsome majority. There |
should be a ratification meeting
called at once, and it should be an
old time rousing demonstration.
Wake up, everybody

Esperseste.


F. P. Ball, of Sucker Greek, Or. i,
writes to the Silver City Avalanche
regarding his experience with es-
persette. He says he planted the
seed in well prepared ground. 1t
was backward in coming up, some
OF il appearing in two weeks, some
in three, and some was six weeks
in getting up. Though he irrigated
it, he finds that the first year it has
not near the thrift of alfalfa, though
it is beautiful clover and strongly
rooted, and yet green, except the
top which went to seed. The
hight is about two and a half feet,
the bloom a beautiful light red, the
seed ripens irregularly, and he
thinks 1t would reseed the ground if
cut tor hay.
II Mr.. Ball had not irrigated his
espersette it would have done
much better. The first year 1t does
little except take root, and it needs
40 water ID order to do it.
