ORNAMENTAL CANARY BIRDS.

Canary birds are beginning to form an
important item in decorations, especially
for children's parties. The ornamental
cages of brass or gilded wood are adorned
with ribbons and placed among ferns,
evergreens and flowers artistically dis
posed. These birds are said to sing much
better amid the gayety of fashionable sur
roundings than in the quiet of the shops
whence they are taken.-7imes-Democrat

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IS, 1889.
Representative Cannon is here looking
after his chances OF being elected speaker
of the house. If Washington opinion
counts tor anything Mr.. Reed will have
a walk over, at least that is the general
impression here now; next week it may
be different, public opinion in Washing
ton shifts as often as the wind, and is al
ways in favor of the man that seems to
be on top. Just now Mr. Reed seems in
the lead in the race for the speakership.
Secretary Window has one office under
him that he is very anxious to have oc-
cupied by good republican, but he has
so far failed to find a man of the required
qualifications. The position of commits
sioner of navigation and the pay $4,000
Der annum. Mr.. Window does not want
to appoint any of the so called experts
with fixed and unalterable ideas; he
wants a brainy man who will stud y the
business of the office with view to MAX
ing improvement.
Representative Bowden, of Virginia,
passed through here this week. He said
of the situation: II feel confident of
the result in Virginia. Nothing has hap
pened to shake my confidence in the sue
cess of Gen. Malone and the rest of the
republican ticket

AN AUTUMN REVIEW.
LYDIA SIMONTON.

After the seedtime's hopes and fears.
Its April showers, and dew-drop tears:
After the buds and blossoms rare,
OF peach and plum, Of apple and pear;
After the birds have twltered and sung,
Any builded their nests, the branches
among;
After they've brooded mid cartaining
leaves,
And taught their birdlings to fly in the
breeze;
After the meadows, In their waving green,
Have glittered and glowed, in the sun
light CLEAN;
After the fragrance Of new mown hay,
Has laden the air, and f1oatcd away:
After the blade. the stalk and the ear.
Have grown to maturity, far and near;
After the dazzling. ripening grain.
Is garnered safe, from the pelting rain;
After the fruits. of beauteous mould,
Bend branch and vine, with crimson aad
gold;
After the clusters, SO luscious and sweet.
Have silently fallen down at our feet:
After the fields have supplied our need,'
With that which grew from the tiny seed;
After each sLorehouss in hamlet and town
Is again replete, with frait of the ground:
After the flowers have impaired delight,
In sequestered vale, and on mountain
hight:
After winged songsters beguile the hours,
For weary hearts, meath sylvan bowers;
After long davs whan racodino s,n
Heightened the shadows, till eve begun;
Alter the moon shed Its pensive light,
Over sweet repose on a summers night:
Alter the streamlet has rtppled along,
And enchanted the ear, with the silvsry
song;
After the boatman unfurls the sail,
Ger waters calm, and DER bilIowing gale;
After enjoying the varied scene,
or sublime old Universe's marvellous
sheen;
After we've toIled with courage strong
And imbibed earth's music, m Idst the hur.
rying ,hrong,
There comes time of serener bliss,
When the sunbeams lovingly, lingeringly
kiss,
All verdure, though of hunblest kind,
From the gnaried oak, the majestic pine.
Even the blades of grass, though now grown
old,
Are daintily tipped with autumn's gold;
Through woodland dell, at every turn,
There are ruby tints on spray and fern.
Ger hill dale and grassy knoll,
Grand autumn now has full control
In brightest hues he blends the leaves
Ofbush and shrub and tall grown trees.
The sheitering grove. with lustrous light,
Glimmers and glstens, in the starlit- night
The lofty forest, with autumn enthroned,
Imposing.and bril!iant,is regally CROWN ed

And from thy towering, emblazoned

Where softer radiance far tn an thine,
Illumes that vast, etc rnal cline;
There chilling wind, nor blighting frost.
Ger the shadowy boundary, ne'r hath

There's the Placid stream with gentle tide
And the flowing fountain deep and wide
While the tree of life with healing leaf,
From sin and sorrow, yield sweet relief.
In shining raiment, the good ard b!est,
Are happy aud free IN that land Of rest;
Where white robed angels, chant and sing,
And wondering saints adore their king.

AUGUST ODELL ofCrow Lake called at
HERALD office on Monday on his return
from St. Louis, whittier he went as a
delegate from Stearns county to the
wheat growers convention. There
were nineteen states represented, and a
Mississippi valley federation was
formed for the purpose of controlling, as
far as possible, the price of the great
staple;wheat. Branches will be organ
lied in every state, and to that end
meetings will be held in every county in
the state. The Stearns county meeting
will be held at St. Cloud in the course of
two weeks, of which due notice will be
given. This is a movement foreign to
politics altogether, purely commercial,
and in the direct interest, of the grain
growers. The convention attracted
much attention, leading men being pres
ent as delegates from all the states.

Did our merchants ever stop to think
that advertising not only increases their
business, but benefits the town as well.
Instances are numerous where farmers
and residents of surrounding towns came
many miles out of their way in order to
trade in a town where the business men
advertised something extra in the way
of bargains There is not merchant,
who knows how to advertise, but will
tell you he has secured customers who
were naturally tributary to other towns
by first showing them through the local
papers, and afterwards demonstrating
to them by actual fact, that it would
pay them to travel the extra distance to
do their trading. A town that has live
advertisers is the one which draws its
trade from the greatest distance.-Ex.

,LAUK CENTRE HERALD.
THAT BRIDGE.

AGRAvE question is thrusting itself up
on the citizens Of Sank Centre, and de-
mands immediate answer. The Main-st.
bridge is unsafe. Its use for ordinary
travel is attended with peril. Most OF
the stills and stringers and much of the
planking, are so thoroughly decayed
that they may be crushed under mans
heel. That terrible casualty has not
occurred by the giving way of the entire
structure is the result OF good fortune.
In fact warning has been posted at either
end that extraordinary strains must be
avoided. THIS state of affairs calls for
speedy remedy, and the question which
now confronts is, how shall it be ap-
piled? Prudence, if not economy, clam
ors for new bridge. The city may be
called to pay more for personal damages
at any time, than new bridge would
cost. Those who have given the old
structure critical examination declare
that there is not enough of the old
bridge of sufficient sonndness and solidi-
ty to furnish a basis for repairs. There
are any number of defective inconven-
lent features about the old structure
aside from its decayed condition. 1t is
too narrow, has no provisions for safe
passage by pedestrians, is too low, and
is not in line with the travelled center OF
the highway. None of these defects can
be remedied by repairs.
Why not, then, take heroic measures.
tear the worthless old wooden death
trap away, and substitute for it first
class iron bridge which will be not only
an ornament to the city, but which is
of far more Importance, be safe and con-
venient. The cost will be considerable,
to be sure-several firms will soon be
able to submit exact figures which will
exceed $1,000 but will not,,reach $40, 900
about $4,000 probably. This will be
n bridge with an eighteen-foot drive
way, with six-foot walks on either side,
on tubular iron piers filled with concrete,
anchored to any required depth with in
terror piling, at least two feet higher
than the old bridge. and with an un-
broken span of about ITS feet, with ap-
proaches of about fifty feet. Such
bridge would last a century with no ex-
pense other than providing for the wear
and tear of the roadway planking.
Stearns county would doubtless pro-
vide for one half the cost by an appro-
priation from the road and bridge fund.
1t ought, in simple justice to do so, and
at least two of the commissioners have
unoficially promised to favor such an
appropriation. This would reduce the
annual cost to the taxpayers of the city
of not to exceed three per cent. upon the
total cost. Tie fact that bonds have
been recently voted for the erection OF
the city hall ought not to deter anyone
from voting for bridge bonds, for it is
certain that the city hall bonds will
never be burden to the taxpayers, as
the rentals will be sufficient to pay the
interest and more. In view of this fact
the necessary bonds for the bridge will
scarcely be felt-no. half mill OH the
assessed valuation.

And together, have given u.s. the cool green
