"sHERIDAN's RIDE~

Up from bed of Pulsing pain,
From couch to casket and mourning train.
Meath stars and stripes from dome and mast
Sheridan rides again his Lasts
Sheridan rides, and we hear the boom
Of guns again; but an open tomb
Is the goal to which he rides to day
Not winchester, twenty miles away"
Up from his summer home by the sea,
Enwrapped in folds Of the flag of the free,
Little Phil Sheridan rides away,
Clad in his Grmor Of battle array.
On. at the tap Of the muficd drum,
AT measured pace, to earth's long home
Sheridan rides away once more,
But not as he rode in days Of yore.
Down TO grave for the noble dead,
Pillowed in peace his martial head,
While flowers are strewn and banners wave,
10 hero's rest-a soldiers grave

lett after making the proposed changes.
out that is not the average reduction in
the articles that are mentioned in tbt
measure. Some articles are left un-
touched, some are added to the free list
while others are greatly reduced, The
fair way is to ask what the reductions
amount 10, and it will be found that
they are at least 90 per cent. Suppos,
that they deprive the manufacturers Of
% per cent of their increased price, il II
evident that the wage earners must suf-
fer TO that extent, This will leave the
protection on woOllens, when domestic

but the difference here is 20 per cent.
In the case Of children and young people
the dlftele enCe is greater.
Now 1t is evident that the proposed
changes in the Mills bill will so reduce
the rates of duty that they will not
cover the difference In the cost of labor
OF this country and Great Britain. These
SIMPLE calculations must convince the
operatives in the woollen mills that thew
cannot afford to vote for party that
will deprive them of their wages. Under
the Mills bill the wOrkingman in the
woollen wills would receive about Is
per cent more wages than are paid to
thelr British competitors. In other
words, the New York dyer would re-
celVe 81 % instead of 81, ,16, his present
pay. The New York finisher would re-
celve 81 instead of 81 25. The New York
loom hxer would receive $1.55 instead
OF ~ 10. The Delaware mule spinner
would receive $1.0i instead Of 50 81.
II the woollen operatives are ready to
accept these reductions they will vote
with the party that invented the Mills
bill.

Farewell my little sweetheart,

You claim no VOWS from me,
The reason whyi-the reason
Right well we can uphold
Ihave too much Of silver,
And you've too much OF gold,
A Apuzzle, this, to worldlings.
Whose love TO lucre flies,
Who think that gold and silver
Should count as mutual prize
But I'm not avaricious,
And you're not ordid.souled;
have too much OF silver,
And you've too much OF go d,
Upon our heads the reason.
Too plainly can be seen;
am the Winters bond slave,
You are the Summers queen;
Too few the years you number,
Too many have told;
have too much of silver,
And you've too much Of gold.
You have the rose for token,
lhave dry leaf and rime;
have the sobbing vesper,
You, morning bells at chime.
Iwould that were younger,
(And you grew never old)-
Would had less Of silver,
But ou no less Of gold

Cancer Among vecetarians.

Surgeon Major Hendley, resident sur
geon at Jappore, writes: in The British
Medical Journal of April Z, 1888, the fol-
lowing statements are made: M Reclus
has shown that cancer was all but I'M
known among the persons whose food
was exclusively vegetable M. Verneuil
also believed that the increase of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
Of diet of the past generation The
records of the Mayo hospital at Jaypore,
which Is under my charge, show no such
immunity of vegetarians from cancer.
From January, 1880, to the present date,
102 major operations have been performed
in the hospital in cases of caucer. Of
these, Al were on the persons of meat
eaters and 81 on those of strict vegeta-
rians who had never eaten meat since
their birth.
In India, where caste rules are exceed
mgly rigid. the fact that the latter were
true vegetarians is absolute proof
Among them are six Saraogis, class of
jams who even reject many kinds of
vegetables. Three of these Saraogis suf-
fered from cancer of the breast. Out of
102 cases there were 3deaths attributable
to the operation. There is no informa-
ton available as to recurrence, or the
contrary. The cases were divided as fol-
lows: Cancer of breast 20, tongue or lips
s, head and face II, upper extremity II,
lower extremity s, trunk IS, testicle /,
glands 3. There were GO males and 40
females. large proportion of the latter

from to o'clock p. m. There will be so

hardly anyone can hope to escape the di-
sease. Tomorrow an excursion train will
leave here for South Carolina in accord
ance with Surgeon General Hamilton's
suggestion and permission and it will be
well filed, too. 1t is readily urged that
the women and children can get out of the
city, and great efforts are being made to
send them Off The rush to Camp Perry
continues. and those who will stay will be
rather lonesome by next week. Mr.. En-
ter, fireman of the Pine street station, re-
ceived a letter yesterday from his sister
in Charleston, stating that she was suffer
ing from severe attack of yellow fever,
and that there were several other cases in
that city. 1t is not known whether this is
true or not, as it cannot be corroborated.
Owing to sickness in the city the log
trains over the Florida Central & PENN
sula railroad have been for the present
abandoned. The railroad authorities say
they do not desire to jeopardize the lives
of their engineers and other employees in
running past st. Luke's hospital, it being
necessary in order to reach the depot.
However, several of the mills have suffi-
Gent supply on hand to last them for some
time and are constantly receiving more

How to Learn q Language.

The Volapuk craze seems to have run
its course and died, and everybody has
made up his mind that we have not yet
got the world language. If people only
knew how easy it is to learn French or
German or Italian there would be less of
these foolish attempts to force an I'm
known tongue upon the world. To get
along as well as there is any necessity in
a foreign country you do not need more
than 1000 or 1900 words. Think
how easy it is TO get these words in
your memory. That means less than
the number Of words in an average
newspaper column, and it il really the
fact that you can get enough Of French,
say, to get along with as easily as you
can memorize column in the daily
newspaper. It is so with German ard
with Italian. You get the grammatical
construction and then all you have TO do
is to make yourself vocabulary.
The trouble is that people imagine
learning a strange tongue is so hard that
they viii not attempt it in common
sense way, but they shrink from the dif-
fculsies which only exist in their own
iraaginatons. Cardinal Mezzofau.i
could take a grammar and a dictionary
of strange language and hear a comics
sion from it in three days. ] hold that
the average man can do partly as well
as that, anyhow, if he applies himself In
the right way. There Is no reason why

A Big Pyretechnie Treat

An amusing story is told OF charfta-
BILE lady here who planned . py1otechnic
treat the other day for big orphan asy-
lum just out Of town. She invested 800
IN rockets, bombs. pinwheels, and more
elaborate fireworks, such as were best
calculated to distract the minds. OF be-
reaved youth. A gentleman Of her ac-
quaintance was invited to perform the
actual setting off of the combustibles,
which. while the display was in progress,
were piled on and around chair in the
lawn. He mildly suggested that it was
dangerous to have them so near while the
exhibition was being given, but the OBJ
lection was overruled by the hostess on
the ground that it was SO much more con-
venient to have them ready at hand for
use when wanted. So the entertainment
proceeded. beginning with the Lighting OF
few Roman candles and other tribes,
which were intended to serve as intro
ductory to the moro scrumptious and ex-
pensive fzgigs.
A very few had gone off, to the mex
l3ressible delight of the eleemosynary
small boys and girls seated on rows of
camp stools at little distance, when an
envious spark CHANGED to drop upon the
chairful of fireworks aforesaid, and i'm
lIitoidtely there eQSueu catastrophe VI
the most appalling description: For quite
ten minutes the entire landscape was
ablaze. The operator and his assistants
got behind trees to escape the bombs and
rockets, which were discharging them
selves in every direction at once, while
the nonprojectle pieces formed a volcanic
pyre in the midst, vomiting flames with
incessant explosions. At length the erup-
ton came to an end, and just as the last
Roman candle was sputtering-while the
generous entertainer and the gentleman
whose aid she had invoked were ruefully
regarding the remains of $500 worth Of
paper and gunpowder-a messenger from
the gathering of hapless orphans across
the lawn appeared at the scene. Her re-
mark was all that was needed to cap the
melancholy climax:
THAT last frework was an awfully
pretty one," said the little girl breath
lessly. 1.-THE children want to know if we
can have another one next just like it,"

Prevailing Ignorance in Italy.

The prevailing ignorance and supersti-
ton is appalling. AS late as 1882, accord.
ing to the official statistics, 81 per cent.
of the male population over 90 years Of
age could neither read nor write. The
filthiness, AFFECT poverty and squalor of
entire districts is indescribable, families
being huddled together with chickens and
pigs in one room hardly sufficient to afford
Pr SECTION from the weather, the wages
being so low as to make it almost impos.
sible to keep body and soul together, and
absolutely impossible to leave the country
or better their condition A piece Of
white bread to them would be grand
feast. This wretchedness is not found
alone among the marshy lands, but on
the richest and most fertile plains OF
northern Italy. the horrible disease known
as "pellagra" making the greatest ravages
