A NUISANCE.


One of the worst Of nuisances Is
Tie chap who's up at early dawn
Making the lawn mower ziziziziz,
Rilsping the whiskers of the lawn.
The hateful whirr
OF the fierce machine,
The buzz and the burr
Excite the spleen
OF the man whose sleep
Is driven away,
And with curses deep
He begins the day.
But the lawn mower chap
His ardor whets.
And he's never SO hap
Py as when he gets
Up close to the room
Where his neighbor lies
In the morning gloom,
With staring eyes,
And twists and turns,
Till half insane,
At last he learns
'Tis all in vain.
He cannot sleep,
All hope is dead,
And with leap
He bounds from bed.
Oh!
One of the worst of nuisances is
The chap who's up ut early dawn
Making the lawn mower zlziziziz,
Rasping the whiskers Off the lawn.

Gold in the Crops Of Geese.

Capt. Scott, of the sailing schooner
City of San Diego, just arrived from
Behring sea, wasinterviewed yesterday.
'Tallking about gold' observed Capt.
Scott. earnestly, as he drew a buck
skin pouch from his pocket, "just look
at the contents of this"
He presented a lot of gravel which
was differing with small gold.
where did you get that?"
"There are plenty of geese and swan
in Alaska, and We used to kill large
numbers of them. While Mt Broad bay
I killed several. What you see in that
bag represents the contents of the
crops of three of them. Among that
gravel there is about 81 worth of gold.
1 would not venture to say where they
got it, but I know where I got it.
There is no romance about the story
either. If one could follow the geese
I suppose he could find the diggings,
which certainly must be rich, if indica-
tions count for anything."-San Fran-
cisco Chronicle.

Increasing the Weight Of Rails.

Most railroads in this country, when
renewing their rails, order heavier ones
than have previously been used on
their tracks. A better roadbed and
heavier rails are required for increas-
ing traffic, heavier locomotives and
greater speed. A short time ago the
standard weight of rails was fifty-six
pounds per yard, requiring eighty-eight
tons per mile of single track. AS O
sixty-fve pound rail takes a little over
100 tons per mile of single track, al
though only nine pounds per yard
heavier than a ffty-six pound rail, it
is easy to see that the tonnage of rails
manufactured during the year is stead
lily increasing to an enormous extent.

publican state committee. where he spent
two days, and he says t. legislature is

declined to be interviewed upon the rea-

suit Of Tuesday, or upon the probable
policy of the party hereafter upon state
issues.
On the other hand, many of his friends
at Dubuque do not take as roseate view of

Electrical Efrects on Trecs.

Observers in many of the small cities
blessed with shade trees, says a west
ern paper, have noticed that those
trees near the electric lights have been
bllghted by something, and for the
lack of some more apparent cause they
ascribe the trouble to the lights.
Very likely they are right, as trees
need darkness in order to remain in
pefect health, just as much as men
need sleep. Trees at q little distance
from the lights suffer proportionately
less than those close beneath the glare.

The republican state committee con-
cedes the election of Campbell and admits
that the legislature is democratic in both
branches. The democratic state commit
tee is claiming the election of Campbell
by u plurality of $4,000 to IL. O00 aud the
rest of tine ticket by pluralities ranging
from 1000 to 5000. These conclusions
are reached from meager returns and
mostly by estimates, but are believed to
be reliable within range of pluralities
given. The republican committee has
nothing upon which they can reliably dis
pute the figures. The committee, however,
does not think complete figures will be
sufficiently favorable to save any part of
their ticket. Both committees and chair
men seem to be agreed that the democrats
will carry the Legislature in both branches.
The last Columbus Slate journal Saws
that Chairman Conger, Secretary Doune
and some of the republican candidates
claim the election of oil of the republican
ticket except Foraker. II Is evident that
Cam BELLS plurality will not be much over
10000, and if it is not over 12,0O0, tho
head of the republican ticket is the only
part of it that is beaten. A mixed ticket
is pretty generally thought to have been
elected.
