 With the fragrance and music of dreaming There'n be no little, tred-out boy to undress No questions of cares to perplex you; There'll be no little bruises or bumps to caress, Nor patching of stockings to vex you. For I'll rock you away on silver-dew stream And sing you asleep when you're weary, And no one shall know of our beautiful dream But you and your own little dearc. And when am tired I'll nestle my head In the bosom that's soothed me so often, And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my
 stead
 song which our dreaming shall soften. So, MotherMy-L let me take your dear

 And away through the starlight we'll wan

Grave-Yards in London.

A return has just been issued from the Home Office dealing with the sub ject Of metropolitan cemeteries. Of the twenty-three cases which have fallen within the scope of this inquiry, it ap- pears that the City of London and Tow CT Ilamlets Cemetery, MiIe-end. leais off with a ghastly tenantry of some 247,o bodies, while the All Souls Kensal Green, occupies the largest area, comprising some sixty-nine acres. and also enjoys the priority of age. As regards the space allotted for each grave, some disparity is observable, nine feet by six feet six inches being. the maximum limit The common in- terment system is very general, it be- ing, for instance, the practice in somo districts to bury as many as eight to ten adults, or twelve children and grown-up persons mixed, in common resting place.

OBSOLETE WORDS.
Many of Them May. at a Pinch, Help the
 Authors of Our Day.

1 would, however conjurc my broth- CTS and sisters of the writing fraternity, if they can cope with the proof-reader. not to fear these dreadful letters Obs, with which the dictionary makers seek to bury out of good company many noble words with which Shakespeare and Speuser made mirth and spoke wisdom. What was fit for those authors to use may still, at a pinch, help us in the nineteenth century. l would in- deed go further, if I might, and plead with the dictionary-makers themselves that they should in future omit those coudemnatory letters from their col umns Let them still tell Us what great masters have employed cer- tain words, that we may be stim- ulated thereby to emulate the knowl- edge possessed by these writers as to the essential significance of syNables, and that We may recognize the skill with which those svllables have been in former days sabordinated to the highest purposes of thought and ant in literature; but let them spare Us the sight of those discouraging italics.
 Obs. just as We begin 10 glow with q sort of intellectual passion for ! word, and would fain seize upon it for our use. The sight Of those three con demnatory letters-the very abbreyia- ton has something of eontemptia it. makes us think of stupid fashions in speech; it makes us doubt, and while We doubt inspiration flies away and fancy grows pale. Language then be- comes question of times. of mode, of manners, and not what 1t should be, a question of power and fitness. of use- fitness and beauty. Atlantic.

Work to Commence on the HonestAke
Pass To-day--A Talk with General
Manager MeIlen-

BUTTE, May 2L-[Special to the Inde-
pendent IA special train arrived in
Butte at 7:4O this morning bringing
Mr.. Holcomb. vice president and
general manager of the entire
Union Pacific system, and his family.
Thomas l.. Kimhall, general manager OF
the Union Pacific, G. NJ. Cummings, assist
ant general manager of the Union Pacific,
with headquarters at Salt Lake. 1. Rapelje,
superintendent of the Idaho division of the
road, and Mr.. Millard, of Omaha, q newly
elected director of the company. The
party was met here by Superintendent
Law of the Montana Union, who took the
gentlemen up the hill, showed them the
Montana Union lines and the great
mines and mills OF the camp. At
noon he escorted them TO
Anaconda After looking over the big
works the party returned 70 Silver Bow this
afternoon and went south to POcatello, and
from thence on TO Portland. They travel
by special train and last night broke the
record between Butte and PocateIlo, max
ing the trip in six hours and seventeen
minutes. The trip is merely one Of obser-
walton and inspection, and all of the officials
declined to make any statements as to the
plans of the road.
Ii is more than likely that they wished
to take a look at the Montana Union with
reference to making the improvements
recommended by Mr.. Law, which are now
held in abey snce owing TO the failure of
the Northern Pacific directors TO ratify the
agreement made by their president, Thos
F.oakes. Men well posted on railroad
affairs think that these improvements will
be made by the Union Pacific alone In case
the Northern Pacific refuses TO join in
making them. This will be a rupture of
the Montana Union agreement The con-
tract will also be broken in case the
Northern Pacific refuses to turn
over its Gallatin & Butte branch TO the
Union Pacific for operation. II is scarcely
probable that the Northern Pacific will do
this, but in any event the Montana Union
will continue 10 exist as a separate COM
pany, as it enjoys advantages which no
other company can get. Ii has practically
control of the hill and can transact busi-
ness there at lower figure than any COM
pany which may subsequently build up
there.

Proceedings of the Northern and Southern
General ASsemb bIIes.
NEW YORK. May 2L-The Presbyterian
general assembly spent the first part of the
session 70 day in discussing the proposed
plan OF work among freedmen. This was
followed by a report on home missions, for
which about S9O0,0OO was asked for next
year to keep up with the growth of the
west
When the afternoon session opened Rev.
Dr. Hamlin. OF Washington, spoke and
disapproved of using foreign language in
church work, and thought the use of Ger
man should not be continued beyond the
first generation Rev. DIR. Ambrose c.
smith. of Illinois, wanted 70 know Just how
many hrst generations there were. "You
have first generations OF Germans and other
natiOnalItles coming here to-day, and this
will probably continue for years TO come.
We want 20 evangeliZe and American
ize the Europeans arriving in this
country. It seems the only means
we have to do this are two schools sus-
tained by this assembly, who can preach TO
their countrymen in the German tongue"
DIR. Smith thought IL the German the0logi-
cal school at Dubuque, of which he is pres
ident got an endowment of 100000 il
could fulfill its mission of educating and
evangelizng the German population of the
nOrthw for all time. Some speakers re-
ferred to the effective work being done by
the synod of MinnesO.a among the Scan
dinavians and Bohemians Ii was agreed
10 add another seccc'- to the force of the
board of home missions and il was decided
he must be able TO preach in German.
The report of the standing committee of
the hoard of aid for colleges was presented
by Rev. DIR. Thomas Hastings. One-third
OF the Presby erie an churches had made do
nations. DIR. Hastings said the board of
aid would require $1,000 OF 500, 900. The
report recommends that the Bible be adopt
ed as the only text book in any school en-
dowed by the board OF aid; that special at
tention be paid to the establishment of a
Presbyterian academy midway between
the common school and college The re-
port and recommendations were unanf
mOusly adopted.

In his veins flows the best
American and English equine blood.
la fact, the best running horses on
the American turf are descended from the
English thoroughbreds. Spokane's mother
is a descendant OF Glencoe, and he has
bennington and Lexington blood in his
veins. Glencoe, Priam and MargTave were
three of the greatest horses on the English
stud books which came to this country,
and the daughters OF Glencoe are all rec
ognized by horsemen as the best of
brood mares The American descendants
of the great English horses have tIiumphed
over English horses on English turf. Ii

wlch in 1857 tor Ten 81 Deck. and another
American horse of English ancestry which
won the GOodwoOd cup in 1861 and four
other cups. So, later. Mr.. Sanford and Mr..

Spokane should not be expatriated. He

His home is in Montana, where other cours-
ers of royal lineage will doubtless be born
and nurtured. The triumph Of Spokane Is
Montana's triumph. That coming state is
doubtless destined to be the Thessely of
this country for fine horses-a powerful
rival, indeed, OF Kentucky. The certainty
that this great horse will be seen at the
summer meeting of the Twin City Jockey
club has put upon the qui vive the lovers

Another Fishery Fu.s.

HALIFAX, y. s., May 2l.-Advices from
Bay St George, Y. f. represent the rela-
tons between the Newfoundland and
French fishermen on the disputed French
shore as reaching a crisis. The comman-
der of the British war ship has issued a
proclamation to the effect that he would
not permit the Newfoundland fishermen 10
set nets to catch herring, and if they did so
would confiseate them. An Indignation
meeting wss held, at which strong Ian
guage was used. Rev. DIR. Homley, the
perfect apostle of the west coast of New
foundland. told the commander of the Brit
ish war ship that he was there with the
apparent mission of protecting the French
instead of the British cOlOrs. The COM
mander replied he was carrying out his in
structions from the imperial government
and added that he took but little stock in
the inhabitants or in the Newfoundland
government. The proclamation, which
was posted up in public places, was quick
ly torn down by the infuriated people.
The French are given concurrent rights by
treaty to that part of Newfoundland, but
they claim exclusive jurisdiction,
and now that they cannot get
their bait in other portions
of Newfoundland, are asserting their
claims of exclusiveness to the bay of St
George and supplying themselves with bait
there This prevents the British from
fere with the French, and the British war
ship there prevents any interference. The
people threaten 10 use rifles 10 enforce their
rights They say they will either do that
or abandon that portion of the British en-
pire TO the French. Bloodshed is predicted.
