A Song of Dreams.
From the Home Journal


A dream of merry child at play.
Blue-eyed and fair, frolicsome and gay,
Glad as the birds in the springtime are,
Sorrows afioat like clouds afar,
Careless of trouble, untouched by fear,
Singing her way through the golden year.
dream of woman, old and gray.
Wrinkled and bent. vending her way
Lonesomely toward the last milestone.
Where the grim dark, shadow OF death is thrown
Storm-stained and weary and worn with care
The candle of life at its final flare.
dream of grave in achurchyard lone
Neglected, drear, with weeds oergrown,
With only the chirp of the crickets song,
AS it sings in the grass the whole night long.
To break the silence that broods so deep
Where the WORKOUT soul and body sleep.

FROM The PtlIn 1eEDHia Times.
During the thunder storm that visited Cresco-
Vile the other day a maple tree in front of
Miner Cresco's residence was struck by light
ming. The only damage done to the tree was
the chipping of piece out of the trunk. as if it
had been done with an ak, about midway be-
tween the ground and the lower branches. At
ter the storm was over Mr.. Cresco went out TO
look at the tree. On the ground at the foot of
the tree lay an Immense black SNAKE dead
holding in its mouth young robin There was
robins nest in the tree, and it was known to
have had three young ones in it the day before.
A boy climbed the tree and found two young
posed that the black snake had climbed the tree
and robbed the nest of a newly Matched bird,
and was descending he trunk as it was struck
by lightning and was killed with its prey in its
mouth.

misfortune.

The proposition for a joint debate be-
tween the two candidates for governor of
Indiana has been unfavorIbly acted upon
by the republican campaign committee, on
the ground that such debate would tend
TO draw party lines more closely and would
injure their mans prospects. What does
tins amount to@ Why, if anything, to an
official admission that on party vote
Indiana will go democratic. As the demo
Gratis of that state are going to present
solid front, their chances OF success are
very factoring, even from the republican
point of view

The latest campaign falsehood is that MIR.
Thurman is very angry because he was
''forced" to go TO New York "to save chat

treatment there. OF course this statement
originated in one of the numerous bureaus
established by the Philadelphia Press
throughout the country for the invention
of campaign falseholds.

From the PtiladelDhia Ledger (Rep)
The platform of the Colorado republicans be-

10 soldiers and sailors of the late war. This

competition between democrats and republicans
in increasing pensions resulted in an eHpendl-
ture by the government last year on that &C
count amounting to nearly SS000O,OOO.

Gentlemen: The wife of one OF my custo-

affection, and could not help herself at all. She

of the physicians who treated it. Her husband

The Dayy I.smps Not Safe.

It is a shock to all our youthful preju-
dices. but it is undoubtedly a fact, that
tho Davy lamp no longer figures among
the safety apparatus of u mines. The
recent mines regulation act settles that
point. An alteration made in the bill
when it was before the house OF lords left
us doubtful whether the Davy lamp had
been finally condemned: but Ny. A. III.
Stokes, one Of the government inspectors,
has declared in round terms before the
Chesterfield and Midland Counties Insti-
tuition Of Engineers that the lamp is
doomed. at the same meeting the faint
praise was heard of the lamp that in a
mine where only candles had been pre-
yiously employed it might be used to ex-
anime the workings for gas; but, as the
royal commission had held that the lamp
Is unsafe in a current with q velocity OF
six feet per second, Mr.. Stokes thinks
that it is excluded from mines by the
fact that the combined rate of the miners
walk and the ventilation Of the Inine will
constitute at least that rate of speed in
the air passing the lamp. He adds his
evidence that explosions have been caused
and men killed in consequence Of the use
of the Dayy lamp. The discovery is use
full, but IL is a case of goodby to another
ulusion.-London News.

Telegraph e Cipher Codes.

Telegraphic cipher codes, the use Of
which was, up to within a few years,
confined TO a comparative few, are now
prepared for almost every kind Of bust

specially constructed code. Several Of
these are Chicago inventions, including
one or two designed for cable telegraph

q valuable property. The one used most
by grain Spectators netted its owner a

Germs own exclusive codes. Probably the

100, 900 words, drawing upon every Ian
