knowledge and Language.

Volume XII, Of Alden's Manifold Cyclope-
dia is now issued. All the strong cOmmen-
datlons which have been bestowed upon
previous volumes is in equal measure due to
this. Ii is. Of course, published In the same
handy form and Is just as convenient to use
as Its predecessors. This Is no small matter,
as all who have had occasion to consult the
nWieldy volumes in which cyclopedias
usually appear can testify. The editorial work
is characterized Dy the same thorougbness and
fidelity as that Of the previous issues. The
broad field has been carefully gieaned. The
iSpits OF ong-continLed investigation are
presented In an attractive and available form.
Open 1t where you will, the book offers rich
treasures Of knowledge. This volume takes

incredible that such q work can be sold for 80

THE STATE CAPITAL.
MissOuri's Big Political Library
Revised Statutes of 1889.
from the Post.Dispatch.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 20.-The
secretary of state has in charge the
political archives of the state. Few
ersons, even among the habitues OF
the capital, know the extent, number
and value of The books and papers over
~hich the department of state has care.
fecently all of these books and papers
have been overhaaled, cleaned and put
in perfect order by Secretary OF State
Lesuenr. Six large rooms in the base
ment of the capital are devoted to this
library, and full list of the contents
will hereafter be found on the secre-
tary's desk. SO that an immediate an.
swer can be given whenever book or
paper is inquired for. The accomplish
ment OF the undertaking has been one
OF great labor.
Secretary Lesueur said to-day thai
the work OF printing the Revised Stat
ntes of 1889 would be begun nexl
week, and be proceeded with as ranidly
"a possible until finished. He Will prin,
30 OO0 volumes or 1900 sets, in &C
cordancc with the requirements of al
act of the legislature. 1t will require
1000 reams of paper, equal to abou,
six carloads, two carloads of which
have already been received. The secre
tary says the new statutes will be print
ed on superior paper and in better
binding than tine statutes of 1879. They
will also contain nearly four hundred
additional pages. The increase in bull
is not attributable to the increased mat
ter alone, but is chiefly on account Of
the increased amount of annotations
Both federal and state constitution
will be printed with full and complete
annotatiOns. The annotations of every
section is on much more comprehen-
slve scale than the present statute. Tht
chapters are arranged in alphabetical
order; in fact, the new statutes will bc
be so conveniently arranged that stat,
officer said recently that they should
he entitled the ''revised statutes of 1889
or the law made easy" At this date i
is difficult to say with certainty how
soon they will be ready for distribu
ton.
State Auditor Seibert to-day drew
his warrant for $50 900 to pay the prin
cipal of Platte county railroad bond,
maturing August 4, and 1885 40 frac
uOnal interest on the same since July
l. This, with the S532 900 already re
tired and the $l50.000 to retire in De
cember, makes an aggregate of S742 =
900 of the state bonded Indebtedness
retired during the present year, ol
nearly half million in excess of the
amount required by the constitution to
be retired annually.

PRESIDENT HARRISON WORRIED.

The president needs rest. To the
people who see him every day the
change in his appearance is not so ap.
parent, but those to whom his face was
familiar six months ago, and who have
seen him again within few days. the
change is noticeable. A gentleman who
called upon him recently, and who
had not seen him before since last win =
ter, said. after the interview:-"The
president looks worn and tired. | saw
him almost daily last winter. That
peculiar ashy complexion he ALWAYS
had, ever since | have known him, but
IT is now Intensified. and he now looks
like sick man"
The expectation now is that the pres
ident will be in Washington only two
days in each week for the remainder OF
the hot weather: that means, il is he
lieved, until October, for the hot wea,b
er IN Washington lasts until October is
we'll advanced. Soon after he returns
to resume regular Office hours at the
White House, unless congressman are
much mistaken, the extra session OF
congress will be convened.
Two days in the week will seem a
small time to the people who are wait
ing Tor appointments, but the presi-
dents advisers think it will be ample
Tor what business there is to do. There
are two important diplomatic positions
to be filed, those OF minister to St.
Petersburg and minister to China, and
an indefinite number of consulships.
The state department officials have gone
through the consular service, and pre-
sumbly decided upon the number o.
designations to be asked tor; bnt the,
have not made the number public.

Now Hay Me Down to Sleep"


IThe Wichita Eagle says that the followi

nan who came 10 ask for worhl:
Mar the camp-iire's ilckering light,
In my blanket bed lie.
Gazing through the shades Of night
AT the t~inkling stars on high
O'er me spirits In the air
Silent vigils seem TO keep,
As breathe my childhOOd'5 prayer
NOW lay me down to sleep"
Sadly sings the whippoorwill
In the hOugns OF yOnder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells he midnight melody.
FOemen may be lurking near,
In the canyOn dark and deep;
Low breathe in Jesus ear
IL pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face see,
One the saviour called away;
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hOvers near
In this lonely mOvntaln brake;
Take me TO her, saviour. dear,
"If | should die before wake"
Fainter grows the llckerIng light.
As each cmber slowly dies;
PluintiYely the birds OF night,
Fill the air with saGdening cries.
Over me they seem to cry;
You may nevcrmore awake"
Low | lisp, "if should die,
Pray the Lord my soul to take"
Nov lay me down TO sleep,
pray the Lord NV soul 10 keep;
IT should die before | wake,

Bury Her at Even,
BY MICHAEL FIELD.

Bury her at even
That the stars may shine
Soon above her,
And the dews OF twilight cover
Bury her at even,
Ye that love her.
Bury hre at even,
Al the shut OF flowers
Softly take her:
They will lie beside nor wake her;
Bury her at even
Al the shut of flowers.
Bury her at even
In the winds decline,
Night receive her
Where no noise MAY ever grieve her
Bury her at even,
And then leave her.
