A CATBIRD'S SONG.

'sMa-yaa. ma-yaa.i heard the catbird crying
From out the thicket during the day S warm
hours,
When partly resting its melodious powers
Near corn-felds waving in the zephyr's sigh
ing.
But hear him in the morning hours rejoice
In the middle summer, when his young are
growing!
Behold him then from yonder spruce spire
throwing
His melody about In marvellous voices
Alto, soprano. mezZo high and low.
How frolicsome this homely fellows notes
Break on the ear; and hear him when he
quotes
From other birds. the rascal mimics so.
And he improves the others trill or call
For il he only tries he beats them all.

The corn crop of the country this year
is put at the almost incomprehensible
figures of 2,25O,0CO.OCO bushels. or some
100000 more than i'll any former year.
As there is small foreign demand for it,
corn food is likely to be quite moderate
in cost. If congress should wipe out the

TaImage's Optimism.

Brother TALMAGE believes in letting
the sun shine and basking in its genial
rays. He has in his textbook some
austerities in theology, but his warmth
and geniality pretty nearly incinerate
them. His joviality does not hush in
the face of things that are merely old
and musty. He doesn't believe people
average down SO low among bad things
as the oracles of harsh creeds depict.
1t is all humbug to him to claim that
DIoGENEs would need an electric Ian
tern to reward his nocturnal search for
an honest man. In fact. TALMAGE
thinks that even in his more dubious
day DIOGENEs was pretendeI and old
fraud. He says: Its my opinion that
DIoGENEs stole both the lantern and
the tub" 1t is one of the noteworthy
tendencies of the times that men are
being appraised higher than in the past.
1t helps to make them better.

The Goose Bone Prophecy.

The local and accepted weather
prophets are pretty well agreed that the
coming winter is to be much colder than
the last. AS that was unusually mild, it
is insisted that this must be severer, as
nature is disposed to keep pretty near a
regular average. Many old people be-
lieve that the old sign OF the goose bone
is worth more than all the newfangled
notions. In some sections it is higher
authority than even the Farmers or
Daboll's almanac. The bone mus
come from a goose Matched in the
spring, and to be infallible the bird
must have less civilized ancestry. In
one of The states to the east the condi-
lions are all fulfilled. and the experts
report that the winter will be even
milder and more even in temperature
than the last. But that is some hundred
miles nearer the ocean. and it is proba-
bic that the jurisdiction Of the bone
does not extend this far west. 1t will
be safe enough to believe that there
will be no shortage in the conditions of
a lively, bracing, invigOrating winter,
ample in provision for carnival sports.

HIS WIFE HORRIFIED.
The Cruel Practical Joke That a Young
Detroit Husband Played.

The Cruel Practical Joke That a Young
Detroit Husband Played.
A young married man who is familiar
figure about the City Hall went up to the
Canadian club house recently for few
days fishing, says the Detroit Tribune.
The second day after his arrival his wife
concluded that she would go up in the
steamer and join him. and accordingly noti-
fed him OF her intention. As the steamer
on which she took passage approached the
landing the lady, accompanied by number
of intimate friends, eagerly scanned the
shore for a glimpse of his huge hat. I'm
agine her feelings when she saw "Gus"
seated on log beside a distinguishing
famale. With one arm placed lovingly
around her waist "Gus'' seemed to be utter
ly oblivious to the approach of the steamer
or the audible comments of the passengers
who were interested spectators.
SIS the man crazy or drunk?" gasped the
poor wife, dropping into a chair as limp as
a dishcloth. "For mercy's sake take me
home to mother"
At this juncture "Gus" lightly lifted up
his "com mpanion" and tucking cher" under
his arm walked toward the boat landing in
the most nonchalant manner imaginable.
''She" was copy of that exceedingly clever
lithographic print which ornaments every
tobacco store in town. Itrepresents gaudy
female mounted on a tobacco cask which
purports to be filled with certain we'll
known brand of plug "chewin'." The fg-
ure had been considerably improved upon
by "Gus," who had supplied it with skirts
made OF extra fine MANILA paper.
Peace has been restored in the family.

Guthrie, the 4 Months Infant, Has All Con-
veuiences of Metropolis.
GUTHRIE, 1. T., August 24.-Guthrie
was months old yesterday. For an infant
of that age she will undoubtedly compare
with any town twice as old on earth. The
town site now comprises 10000
acres. embracing East Guthrie, West
Guthrie, North Guthrie, Capital
Hill and Guthrie proper. Six
wild cat" banks are doing an immense
business here. The Bank of Guthrie on the
evening of the 22d of April, when the
present city was but few hours old, and at
a time when everything was in turmoil
here. had in her vaults over $3.50, 900. At
first this bank was on the open prairie, then
in tent, and now in its neat building on
Oklahoma avenue, near Division street.
-Four daily papers are published to-day in
Guthrie. The Guthrie Netos, Oklahoma
Capital, Daily State Herald and Daily Optic,
all of which are neat, respectable looking
sheets. The weekly editions are too nu-
merous to mention. The city water works
have been in operation for three months.
The Guthrie Street Car and Electric Light
Company is a chartered concern, and will
have its different lines in operation soon.
Gambling has never been suppressed to
any extent, as yet, and one can easily wit
ness games of all kinds where from $500 to
s., 1000 is at stake. The great rush is COM
pletely over, though the different towns are
steadily growing into cities. The capital
will undoubtedly be located either at Guth-
rie or Edmond.

HE FAILED TO GET ACROSS.
Captain Rogers Unable TO Go to Europe In a
Small Boat.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, August 4.-Cap-
tain Charles T. Rogers, of the 1S-foot yawl-
yacht Nickelodeon, who attempted to sail
alone in his boat from Boston to Paris, and
who was picked up at sea blind and ex-
hausted by the schooner Martha Bradley on
August 10 and landed at this port
yesterday, left for his home in Duxbury to-
day. His sight is partially restored and he
says 1t will be long time before he at
tempts another such trip. He is jeweler
by trade. He made up his mind to outdo
Captain Norton, of New York, who sent
the yawlboat Neversink to the Paris Ex-
position early in the summer, and so on
July 8 he sailed from Boston in his cookie
she'll yacht. He enjoyed favorable weather
until the 9Th, when he took gale from the
northeast, lasting 72 hours. When it
abated he found himself on the
Georges. Very slow progress was
subsequently made, as the weather was
either half gale or calm. By July % he
had become so blind from the suns glimmer
on the water that he could not see his COM
pass. For the last IA days his boat had
drifted around at the mercy of wind and
sea.
The mariner, nearly exhausted, as we'll as
almost sightless. spent most of his time
lying in the bottom OF the boat. He kept a
drag anchor out, and managed to have a
light burning at night. When found his
condition was such that he could have lived
but short time had he not been rescued.
He could neither stand nor feed him
self. His spirits were buoyed up
by what he considered a favorable
omen. At one time four small sharks came
near his boat. He regarded this as an indi-
cation that he would be picked up in four
days by the. fourth boat he saw, which
omen was verified. For four days prior to
his rescue he saw vessel each day, but
they were so far away that his signal was
apparently not seen until the last day of
the four, when the Bradley came to his
rescue.

TRUTHFUL FORTUNE TELLER.
All His Statements Proven to be Absolutely

All His Statements Proven to be Absolutely
Correct.
From the Atlanta Journal
There is lady living in Athens who
vouches for the following queer story: A
gentleman living in Wisconsin mailed her
father check for $500. The check was lost
en- route. A week after the time he met a
professed fortune teller at the home of sick
man, and there the owner of the check was
Voluntarily told by the soothsayer of his
loss.
Further, the fortune teller told thegentle-
man that the check had been extracted from
the envelope, and that the empty envelope
would be received by him in few days
The thief was described and the assurance
given that the money would be recovered
eventually, after much trouble. The for
tune teller had not been acquainted with the
loss by the gentleman making it.
The wizard also told his listener that two
unexpected visitors would be at his house in
a short while; that they were close relatives,
whom he had not seen in six years, and that
they would surprise him by their advent
Next day the empty envelope came. Two
uncles from France arrived the next week.
The thief of the check was spotted in Wis
consin, and the money recovered, after much
time and trouble, though the thief escaped
conviction. The Athens lady and her father
are now firm believers in the fortune teller.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-Detectives
here are keeping a close watch for Milton
Anthony Sharp, the cIeverest stage robber
Gently escaped from the Nevada peniten-
tiary, and is thought to be in hiding in this
city.
Sharp is Missourian, and, according to
detectives, is a more expert all-around
knight of the road than "Black Bart or
any other aspirants to that distinction. He
has frequently held up two stages IN one
night, and seems perfectly able to get away
with nearly all there is in the box, in spite
of the presence of a shotgun messenger, such
as the express company used to send with
its treasure shipments through the mount
aims He does not indulge in doggerel re-
Elections, like his more celebrated confrere.
but does "holding up" more neatly.
About nine years ago Sharp and
partner named Jones held up two stages on
the divide line between Carson City and
Aurora, New. Jones was killed. Sharp
got away and came to this city,
bringing about S25, 900 with him. This he
had ingeniously distributed over his person,
so that the money, although in gold, did rot
Jingle or rub together. He was ar
rested in his room, taken to Carson
City, tried, convicted and sentenced
to 20 years imprisonment. He served three
years, broke jail, and walked 40 miles with
a 30-pound iron shoe on his foot This he
afterward freed himself from and got away.
His liberty was short, and he was soon re-
turned.
On August 16 he went through the iron
bars as though they had been paper, and
has not been seen since. Sharp is said to
have robbed over 80 stages.

LEGITIME is OUT.

He is Forced TO Leave Hayti, and His Rival
is in Complete Control-ORcial News
of the End of the Island
Wnr-American Minis
ter Needed.
WASHINGTON, August 24-Acting Sec
retary Walker to-day received the following
cablegram from Rear Admiral Gherardi,
commanding the naval force on the North
Atlantic station, dated at st. Nicholas Moe,
to-day:
Legitime accepted terms offered and en-
barked Thursday afternoon on board French
corvette. 1t is not known where he Will go.
Hippolyte's forces occupied town Friday
mOnng We fear not pa save to
vent riot French and English captains VIII
act under my orders. 1t is very important that
the new Minister should be sent Immediately.
The United States steamer Galena has
been ordered to sail from New York to-mor-
row morning for Hayti. She will take at
least week on the passage providing she
does not run into the hurricane which is
supposed to be coming up the Gulf Stream
in the opposite direction. Acting Secretary
Walker SAYS that it appears from Admiral
Gherardi's telegram that the worst of the
trouble is over now. Still it will be pru-
dent and necessary, perhaps, to keep a
United States man-of-war in Haytian waters
for some time to come to provide against the
contingencies of riot or lawlessness which
may endanger American interests.
The Department of State has not yet
communicated with Minister Douglass on
the subject of his immediate departure for
Hayti, as suggested by Admiral Gherardi.
1t is believed that the request for his pres
ence is cansed by belief that the relations
between the present United States represent
ative and the other foreign representatives
have become somewhat strained. Mean
while it is stated as reason for the delay
in sending Minister Douglass to his post,
that this Government is in grave doubt as to
the proper authority to whom he should be
accredited, and while this was something of
problem IN Legitime's administration, it
has become even more complicated since his
departure as the State Department is in
entire official ignorance OF the terms of
capitulation and the tenure by which Hip
polyte governs.
