HARRISBURG, May Am evening paper
says:
1t now appears that the Democrats who
were engineering the patriotic job of the Penn
farm purchase were badly left in their calcu-
lations. They were led into camp by Republi-
can leaders and induced to vote for number
of measures that required help in return for
the promise that the farm scheme would be
put through. This promise was not kept
Whether the leaders deliberately deceived the
Bucks county Democrats or were unable to de-
liver the vote for the bill is not known, but the
probabilities are the latter is correct as many
members will not care to identify themselves
with job of that sort. Now that the bill is
killed, the inquiry is made, what was the pur-
pose of the bill ? Was 1t intended for the State
TO go into the farming line or was park to be
made of the ground These questions are not
answered, but the report is very promptly de-
MED that the land, for which S2O0is wanted from
the State has been offered in the open market
for $5S per acre since the defeat of the bill.

THE SUNBEAMS.

Emile Poulsson, in The Kindergarten
"Now, what shall send to the Earth todayY
Said the great, round, golden Sun.
"Oh! let us go down there to work and play
Said the Sunbeams, every one.
So down to the Earth in a shining crowd,
Went the merry, busy crew;
They painted with splendor each floating
cloud
And the sky as they passed through.
"shine on, little stars If you like" they cried,
ave will weave a golden screen
That soon all your twinkllng and light shall
hide,
Though the Moon may peep between"
The sunbeams then in through the windows
crept
TO the children in their beds
They poked at the eyelids of those who slept,
Gilded all the little heads
"Wake up, little children!" they cried in glee,
"And from Dreamland come away!
We've brought you u present, wake up and
We have brought sunny day"

From the Kindergarten
Out in the meadow one morning in
May, a buttercup swayed too and fro
on her slender foot, in the cool morn
ing breeze. She was, indeed, a child
of the sun, in her fresh, bright, yell
low dress. AS the wind swayed her
gently toward the brook near her feet,
she glanced down and saw her bright
image reflected in the water. "How
beautiful l am,' she thought. 81
grow brighter and larger every day,
as | grow higher and nearer to the
SUM- do look a little like the sun
now"
Soon a large worm came crawling
near her. At first she was quite dis
turbed. ooh, what an ugly, squirm-
ing creature" she thought; chow
uncomfortable it must be to have to
crawl on the ground all the time.
Poor thing, | pity him. | wonder if
he enjoys himself. l think | will ask
him. Good morning, Mr.. Worm,
the ground is nice and cool today.
DO you never get tired crawling all
the timer"
"Oh, no; l am very happy.
Mother Nature is kind nurse, and |
feel her warmth and goodness. She
teaches her children that all should
be working upward, and | hear the
little plants stirring, and love to see
their joy, as they reach the fresh air
and warm sunshine, above the ground.
All the plants are looking upward,
and seem so happy
"That is true, but do you never
wish to grow taller? You are losing
all the beautiful sights above you,
keeping close to the ground"
81 would like to grow upword to
the light and strength above, but
find | am not able to, myself; still,
shall try, for | lose nothing by trying.
All cannot be as graceful as you are
Buttercup, but all can try to be goot
and cheerful, whatever their place il
life. 1t is pleasure to be near you
and enjoy your beauty"
"But you poor worms always have
to crawl; Ipity YOU"
81 have to crawl, but | can visi
my friends, and | never tire of coming
to see you, nor of watching my friend
the ant. 1t is a pleasure to watcl
her, she is always so busy and cheer
full. She, too, lives near the earth
but is happy building her house, ant
caring so tenderly for all her littl,
ones"

the words of cheerful contentment
and, not knowing why, left hersel

much happier for the meeting with
her lowly friend.
"You seem quite happy; come and
see me again some day, and tell me
what your companions have to say to
YOU"
The worm crawled away, but the
talk he had just had was not for
gotten. In the course of the spring
he visited the buttercup again, and
found other flowers with her, but she
still, with loving pity, looked down
on him, for having such lowly life.
GLOW strangely | feel-what can
be the matterg' said the worm one
day; III think I must be i'll. What
has happened to me? | am very
sleepy"
The ant was passing on her way to
her hill, and stopped to look at the
worm. ooh, you are going into your
cocoon, aren't you? l think you
will make a beautiful butterfly; you
always were good worm"
"What do you mean? Where did
you say | was going?' said the
worm.
"Why, into your cocoon, and by
and by you will he beautiful butter
fly. Pve seen lots of your family do
the same thing. Goodbye, l must
hurry home now," and away went
the ant, leaving the poor worm so
startled and surprised; he did not
have time to ask her TO explain what
she had said.
GA cocoon will be a butterfly
"a butterfly butterfly, what could
she have meant?" the worm said
over and over in wonder, till at last
it grew very drowsy and fell asleep,
and knew nothing more for long
time.
81 wonder where that cheerful
worm is, that used to come to see
me-" Buttercup said one day to her
friends; IL really have missed him.
| have not seen him for q long while.
What strange creature, so happy,
yet | know he wanted to grow up

him."
ooh, what q beautiful butterfly!
Look! look and coming right to-

ing to you, Buttercup," the flowers
cried near her.
"Oh, you beautiful creature! where
did you get such a brilliant color?
You look as if you had just come
from bath in the sun, and flown
here on the sunbeam, that had sped
through the darkness and just left a
rim of black on the edge of your
wings. Where did you come from?"
"Why, Buttercup, don't you know
me? Have you forgotten your FRIEND,
the worm? | have not been to see
you for some time, | know, for |
could not, though you have not been
forgotten. When | was a worm, l
admired your bright colors, and now
you see me wearing your colors, a gay

of their grief shall have passed away,
they may know that "all things work to-
gether for good to them that love God. u

The c, r. |. & P has been shipping
new invention in the way of rotary
snow pillow, west lately. One was in the
Rock Island yards the other day, and it
was viewed by railroad men with much
interest. The plow consists of car con-
structed with heavily riveted iron frame
and strongly built trucks, on which is
placed locomotive boiler of capacity
to supply steam to pair of Is by %
cylinder engines used to operate the re-
volving wheel and fan. On this wheel,
which makes a high number of revolu-
tons, are placed twelve knives, or buckets
by which the snow is carried to point
just beyond the top center, where an open
ing in the box which ercases the revoiv
ing wheel allows the centrifugal force to
carry the snow to one side of the track
The engines are placed one on each
side of the boiler, and are fitted wi h
regular locomotive link motion. They
also have the throttle valve and a reverse
lever, by means of which latter the mos
ton of the wheel can be reversed aud the
snow thrown in an opposite direction
The distance to which the snow can be
thrown is determined bv its weight an
the rapidity of the revolving wheel. The
width of the pillow is ten feet seven inches,
diameter of knife wheel nine feet, and
maximum number Of revolutions $50 per
minute.
The introduction of the rotary snow
plow marks the removal Of one of the
most important obstacles to railroad CD
Grafton during the winter. namely, snow
blockades. and greatly lessons the dam
gers which have always in the past att
tended what is commonly known as

MI. Cables Power.
President Cable has sent the following
letter to New York to show who broke
"the gentlemens agreement"
As it is only fair to me, after the un-
Just criticisms made during the confer
ence of the presidents this week regard
ing nv meeting the cutting of rates by
certain lines west of Chicago. take the
liberty of sending to each of the gentle
men present at such conference copy OF
an affidavit received this morning. which
ena bles me to place before them informa>
ton that possessed, but which did not
wish to give until / could do so in this
form. The affidavit clearly shows VIC
lation of the agreement of the presidents,
which went into force Jan. 1. As l am
advised, this cut in rates has not been
met by any of theTcompetitors.
The affidavit, which is dated at Chica-
go. Jan. 9, is made by William ]: Pope.
head of the grain firm of Pope & Lewis.
In it he swears that he has in his possess
sion an original contract for the pur-
chase of grain at Fairchild, Neb.. signed
by prominent commission merchant at
St. Louis, of which this is an extract:
This confirms purchase of you this day
fifty cars $500 bushels each) of No. 9
corn at 800 cents per bushel, free on
board and 204 for all corn loaded in Mis-
souri, Pacific cars and shipped via Hia-
watha. January and February ship
ments. St. Louis weights and inspec-
ton. Care Central Elevators,
st. Louis
Mr. Pope explains in the affidavit that
the difference of 81 cents in the price of
corn shipped by the Missouri Pacific and
| that by other lines as an actual cut in
rates by the Missouri Pacific of 3 cents
per 100 pounds. The regular rate from
Fairfield to St. Louis is 90 cents a huns
dred, which is equivalent to IL 2-lo
cents bushel. The rate from the same
point to Chicago is 25 cents a huns
dred. The difference of 81 cents a
hushel made by the St Louis mer-
| chant makes the actual rate of the
Missouri Pacific on corn from Fair
| field to st. Louis II cents 100 pounds,
a cut of 3 cents from the regu>
lar tariff. Mr.. Pope states that he is
| informed and believes that the st. JOSS
epb & Grand Island railroad receives and
retains its full proportion of the regular
rate. and the special rate thus made by
the Missouri Pacific prevents the ship
ment of grain from Fairfield to Chicago
as long as the other railroads exact the
schedule rate He added that it has act-
ually resulted in the diversion from Chi
cago to St. Louis of a large traffic origi-
mating in the territory in which Fairfield
is situated Annexed to this affidavit is
that of four officers and agents of the
Rock Island road who have examined the
original contract in the possession of Mr..
Pope. They agree that it bears on its
face every evidence of being genuine
instrument The presidents agreement
went into effect on Jan. /, and the con-
tract is dated two days later.
