EDITORIAL MOTIFS.

Ingersoll does not want any acknowl-
edgment of God in the Constitution
But the trouble with Ingersoll is, he
does not want God anywhere, unless
it be just such an one as suits his own
fancy. He does not differ essentially
from other people in this matter, only
that it worries him more than some be-
cause he cannot have things to his own
liking.

THE FAIHYsS HAMMOCK.

Last night the fairies hammock swung,
Under the myrtle boughs it hung.
fTwas woven of slender silken thread
So fine that even the lghtest tread
of mortal passing at early morn
To gather the roses newly born
Would shatter the web and to the ground hurl
In showers of diamond. opal and pearl.
The dewdrops which fastened each delicate mesh
Caught from the msts of the mornng fresh.
suspended from glstening myrtle leaves
A canopy of lace the spider weaves
The lovely form of the fairy queen
Lightly rested beneath the screen.
While the soft feathery blooms of ''sweet myrtle
Their perfumes around and overhead
The fairies have held their revel here.
Now the rosy tints of dawn appear.
And floating gently out of sight
The soft gray msts that yelled the night;
And in the morning SUMS bright ray
The fairy vision melts away.

Too Much Prominence by Newspapers.
The opinion is expressed and the News
is in accord with it, that the newspapers
make too much of murder trials and hang
ings. Readers of the daily newspapers of
ST. Paul and Minneapolis know that there
has been dished up daily from one to six
columns of matter relating to the Barrett
murderers for weeks. The minutest detail
is spread out and embellished. Every in
cdent of the past lives and family connec-
tiOns is portrayed. Photographs and say
ingS of the criminals have been published
and the public mind is filled by the profuse-
ness and cOnspicuOusness OF the pOrtrayals.
The minds of the vicious and criminal classes
feed on the recitals with relish and avid
ity that could not be surpassed. What is.
the tendency and effect? Does it not tend
to the cOmmittal of murder? The ignorant
and debased mind of a man who is deSpiSed
or unnoticed by honest people. who sees no
way of redeeming himself or of becoming Of
any importance in the world, is taught by
the prominence newspapers give to murder
trials and hangings to initiate those who
have become the talk of the state. There is,
one way in which he can secure nOtOriety.
He will murder somebody. 1t would be do
ing a good service to society, in our judg-
ment to give less prominence to these cases.

Out of the Depths.

Owing to the meagre information obtain
able, in consequence of the late order in
hibting the circulation of our daily ex-
changes, it is impossible to conjecture with
any degree of certainty, the status of the
various measures, which SO nearly concern
us, that are still pending in the legislature.
RumOrS there are in abundance, and they
are as conflicting. as numerous. One day
we are confidently informed that it has been
determined upon, that in future we are to
be employed under the public account sys-
tenn; the next day our same informant
gravely informs us that it has been de-
cded to return to the contract system; and
yet another day the same reliable authority
serenely makes his appearance, and with
smile that is childlike and bland, impartS
the tidings. that the legislature. being un-
able to find any other way out of the diff
Guilty, and being duly impressed with de-
sire to please the various interests involved,
have resolved to adopt for our employment,
a kind of gO-as -yOu-please system, viz:
mixture of contract. public account. and
possibly the piece price systems. Now, if
there be any foundation for the latter ru-
NOR, and the passage Of any such measure
is seriously contemplated. unite in the
opinion of our reliable informant,
that it's adoption would not only tend to
create confusion, but Oh the principle of
''having too many irons in the fire, I" it
would prove anything but a paying invest
ment. Whatever you may conclude to give
us in the line of employment, gentlemen of
the legislature, please give it to us straight.
and with as little delay as possible; do not
prOlOng the agony. If, with the evidence
that has peen placed before you, it is your
Judgment that the contract system will best
subServe the interests of the state in every
manner, let us have it pure and unadulter-
ated, anything in preference to idleneSS. If
on the other hand, the public account sys-
tenn more nearly comedies with your views,
and you are deSirOuS of perpetuating the
program of ''retrenchment and reform"
YOU can choose no better method than the
adoption of that system.

Ex-GOv. McGll. after all experience of

The Ftrs, Ocean Steamer.

It is remarkable that after so much has been written and published in regard to early steam navigation (especially ocean navigation, which is of comparatively recent date), it remains to be shown that the first regularlybuilt ocean steamer was con- structed on this side of the Atlantic. Waiv- ing all that has been claimed for the voyage of the Savannah, we now find that an Amer ican ship-builder constructed the first sea- going steamer that ever crossed the ocean propelled wholly by steam, This was called the Royal William, in honor of the "sallor kinV' who then reigned in England, and the Historical Society of Chicago has her original drawings on file in its archives.

Never, indeed, did see her look more beauteous than on that last fatal night of vengeance. And thus her mind drew on to that supper at Tarsus, when she drank the pearl
 ''Strange," she said, tstrange that at the last the mind of Antony should have turned back to that night among all the nights, and to the saying of Harmachis. Charmion, thou dost remember Harmachis, the Egyp- tian?"

 "And who, then, was Harmachis9" l asked; for I was fain to know if she sor- rowed Der my memory.
 II will tell thee "Tis 8 strange tale, pnd now that all is done it may well be told. This Harmachis was of the ancient race of the Pharaohs, and having, indeed, been in secret crowned at Abydos, was sent bither to Alexandria to carry out great plot that had been formed against the rule of us Royal Lagid@. He came and gained en- trance to the palace as my astrologer, for he was very learned in all magic-much as thou art, 0lympus-and man beautiful 10 see. Now, this was his plot-that he should slay me and be named Pharaoh.

 He lifted up his head and called for wine, which gave him, mixing therein draught that might allay his pain. for it was great. And when he had drunk he bade Cleopatra lie down on the bed beside him, and put her arms about him, and this she did. Then was Antony once more q man; for forget ting his own misery and pain, he counseled her as to her own safety; but to this talk she would not listen.

Tho Yurning-Point of Love.

There is turning point in the love of a wife for husband which should be care fully watched. In some it occurs early, long before thirty, especially if the match were one of impulse or family convenience; but in the majority of instances it's appear ance manifests itself about the approach to the middle age of woman-from thirty-tive to forty-two. There is q revulsion in the whole moral and mental being-a kind of chilling, cold indifference, which the slight est unkindness on the part of the husband at once kindles into flame. It is difficult to account for this transitory condition, but there is much proof that woman loves twice.

A RABID CAT.
Main Street TerrOrfzed by the
Actions of q H0wling
Feline.

Last night about ten o'clock, a large
brindle Cat, of the Thomas Ell. variety.
nearly frightened some of the resi-
dents of west Main street into convrl
sions. The cat passed down tho
street in front of A! Condo saloon,
howIing like q panther at every jump,
while his tail waved wildly in the
CLEANING, like an oriHamme of war,
whatever that is. Everybody who
met the cat got off into tho
street or climbed a telegraph pole till
the procession passed. The animal
finally ran up the stairway leading
to Jessie Brownings ranch and threw
that estimable female into convulsions
while her colored valet de chambress,
Ssllie Todd, crawled into the pantry
and yelled until the glass ratified in
the windows of the Union depot.
Dick Bell, darkey, went vsrsntly
to her rescue and the cat chased him
into bedroom and made him turn a.
a lean beef steak. Officer Mason then
appeared on the scene and the cat
rushed past him and jumped out of
the second story window on to q small
boy named Kuhn. The boy gave one
sgOnized yell and started toward La
monte, with the squalling cat after
him. The voices of the by and Cat
bowling in unison died away in the
distance and silence like a poultice
came to heal the blows of sound. It
was discovered later that the boy final
ly escaped from the cat, which was
undoubtedly insane on some points.
