Dreamin' O. Home.

From the Hartford Times
l can't jes' tell what's come to her. an yet I
think it's clear
That somethins goin' wrong o. late-to see her
sittin there
A-dreamin' in the doorway, with that look into
her eyes,
AS eff they still was restin on the old-time fields
an skies.
She's always dreamin', dreamin' O. the life we
left behind
The little two-room cottage where the mornin
glOries twined;
The roses in the garden, the yellow sunhowers
tall;
The violeJS but she herself the sweetest flower
O. ali.
You see, she used to sit there i'll the doorway, so
content,
The suntower folerin' the sun, no matter where
he went;
The brown bees sippin' honey an buzzin' roun'
the place.
The roses climbin' up to her aud Smilin' in her
lace.
An now she can't forget it. When tell her,
Little wife
There amt no use in grievin' for that simple
country life"
She twines her arms aroun my neck an smilin'
sweet to see,
She says: 1T seems so far away to where it
ulster be.'
There amt no use in chidin' on sayin' words O.
cheer;
There's nuthin' in the city life that she was ulster
there;
Where preachin cum but once a month an
street cars didn't run,
An folks they tole the time O. day by lookin at
the sun.
An larl1s got up at peep O. dawn and made the
medders ring;
l tell you folks, when ones brought up to ies'
that kind o. thing,
It's hard to get away from it, old feeling S
bound to rise,
An make runnn over in q womans tender
eyes.
So there she sits a-dreamin till get to dreamin'
too,
An when her head droops on my breast and
sleep falls like the dew,
An closes them sweet eyes o. hers once more
we seem to be
In the old home, where Wen rest some day to-
gether-her and me.

There was large crowd present at an auction

were selling cheap, while others brought more

Congress will soon relsssmble, ana then
the work Of preparing the river and haroor
bill will be begun. Our business men must
not forget that Savannah is deeply in
terested in this bill \ large appropriation
| for the project to deepen Savannah harbor
70 twenty-six feet is asked for b the engi-
neers' department, and it will require a
! good deal Of hard work to get it. Repre-
sentative Lester Is a member of the river
and barb committee, and is therefore in
a position 20 do much that can be done in be-
half of Savannah's interests. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that he viii need assist
ance If he does he oughtto have It, and,
that too to any extent that he may desire.
Deeper water to the sea Is an imperative
necessity to Savannah She can now &C
commodate vessels drawing about twenty
two feet. but the demands Of her commerce
require deeper water. Deeper water means
for her greater prosperity. Her commerce
has already reached immense proportions,
and is steadily growing. She is now the
seaport Of an immense territory, compTis-
ing several states, and the volume of her
commerce must steadily increase. Deeper
water in her harbor will insure her cheaper
freights, because larger vessels will seek her
wharves.
Representative Lester ought to be con-
suited as to whether be will need help when
the Savannah river and harbor items are
reached 10 the preparation of the river and
harbor bill As b. is in a position to direct
what ought TO bs done his advice should be
followed. There would be no difficulty,
probably, in bring inf FENCES to bear that
would insure him the active cooperation of
all the other Congressman of this state,
and also those of Florida, Alabama, Missouri,
Kansas, Tennessee, and other states.
Products from all the states named seek
an outlet here, and their merchants receive
a great deal Of freight through here. Their
representatives, therefore, ought to be very
earnest in their eff orts to secure an appro-
priation for Savannah harbor.
OF course the other Georgia congressman
will be in active sympathy with Representa-
tive Lester There are very few towns in
Georgia which would not be benefited to a
greater or less extent by the Improvement
of Savannah harbor sufficiently to accom-
modate the largest class of steamers. They
all are interested in having cheap freights
and the deeper Savannah's outlet to the sea
is the cheaper freights, as a general rule,
will be.
OF course, we ought not to wait until the
Savannah harbor item Is before the river
and harbor committee before inquiring Of
Representative Lester whether we can aid
him in any way. Steps should be taken
now to collect data that may be needed
to convince the river and harbor committee
that Savannah needs as much as she asks
for. 1t should be the duty of committee
to collect such data, and also to urge con-
gressmen of the states above named to in
terest themselves i'll Savannah's behalf.
If Savannah neglects her interests she
may be sure that no one will look after
them carefully for her. She must do as
other cities do that have interests pending in
congress-she must help herself

The subject of clerks for members of the
House is being considered in Washington
more seriously than ever before, and it is
said that the House committee on accounts
will favorably report bill providing for
them That committee heretofore has in
variably refused to approve such bill, but
probably the republicans realize that some
thing must be done to deplete the treasury
and make tariff reform impossible, and
they are more inclined than ever to favor
extravagant legislation. Instead of run
ming the government economically and re-
ducing taxation, they want to throw away
the treasury surplus, and continue to rob
the people for the benefit of the monopo-
lists

An Undesirable son-in-Law.

It seems that Queen Victoria hasn't a
very profound regard for her son-in-law,
Prince Battenberg He Is a handsome
fellow, and won the heart Of the queens
fayorise daughter, Beatrice. The Prince Of
Wales has never admired him, and, it is
alleged, opposed his marriage with his
sister. The queen, however, consulted the
feelings OF her daughter rather than the
judgment Of her son.
Battenberg had only his good looks to
recommend him. The English people had
to provide living for him. They made
him an allowance, or, at least, they made
his wife an allowance. which he has always
spent with commendabe promptness. He
got along pretty well, however. with his
royal English relatives until few days ago,
when an interesting scandal made his ban
ishment necessary.
1t seems that before he married the Prin-
cess Beatrice he applied to a Russian
woman, who was enga yed in the business
of finding wives for impecunious members
of the aristocracy of different countries
Battenberg was one Of her custom
ers. She found two or three heiresses
who agreed 20 marry him, provided
he suited them. When they found out how
poor he was, however, and what an ex-
psnsive luxury he would probably be, they
declined to share their fortunes with him
for fear that in little while they would
have nothing with which to support their
title. When his prospects for marrying an
heiress vanished, his relatives assisted him
in getting into the good graces of Queen
Victoria, and urged his marriage with the
Princess Beatrice.
The Russian matrimonial agent has been
matchmaking Battenberg ever since his
marriage. She has got about all the money
he could spare from his wife's allowance.
A few days ago he determined not to yield
further to her demands, and then she pro-
ceeded to make life unpleasant for him.
She wrote out the whole story of his hunt
for wife, and sent it to the queen, together
with numerous letters of his which had been
intrustei to her TO be delivered to different
women whom he had sought in marriage,
but which she had never delivered. The
queen of course was angry, and sent him to
some place on the continent, where he will
remain until the scandal blows over.
Queens daughters, who take up with penni-
less princes, often fare no better than Amer
lean girls who exchange their fortunes for
titles

Blaine's Foreign Policy.

Has Secretary Blaine lost his grip9 This
is the question that is being asked in differ
emit parts of the country. When it was
known that he would have charge of tine
state department. in Gen. Harrison's ad-
ministration, his friends said Now we
shall have vigorous foreign policy. But
Mr.. Blaine has not shown any vigor in
dealing with questions which have come
within his jurisdiction. He has done abso-
lutely nothing to justify the complimentary
things which were said of him when he ac-
copied his present Office.
just now he is being very severely criti-
cised. 1t may be that the criticisms are
unjust. If they are, future DEVELOPMENTS
will show them to be so, but from all the
information that has reached the public
relative to the recent seizure of American
vessels in ports of the United States of
Colombia he has displayed an inactivity
and an Indifference in that matter that is
strangely at variance with his reputation
for diplomatic vigor. These American
vessels were loading with fruit when they
were seized by gunboat of
Colombia. As far as known no
reason was given Tor the seizure The
| cargoes of the vessels were perishable, and
their owners therefore have suffered heavy
losses. Nearly week ago Mr.. Blaine was
notified of the outrage, but as far as the
public and the owners of the vessels know,
he has done nothing TO effect their release.
Why has he done nothing3 That is ques-
ton nobody appears to be able to answer.
In the meantime the owners of the YES
sells, tired of waiting for Mr.. Blaine to as
sist them, have about made up their minds
to arm vessel and recover their property
by force. If they adopt that course they
may get into serious trouble, but they will
at least show that they possess a great deal
more vlgor than Mr. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine Will have to wake up if he
wants to retain his reputation for brilliant
craftsmanship and diplomacy. He certainly
| seems in danger of losing it.

Several southern newspapers have taken
Chauncey Depew severely TO task for repeating
at the banquet of the New England Society the
alleged boast of Robert ToOmbs taat he would
call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker
Hill monument. This was one of the charac-
teristic fabrications of the abolisionlst which
was emphatically denied by Mr. Toomos, and
which mas long since been exploded; but
orators Of the Depew stripe who speak for the
applause OF the moment never reject any
thing which may serve present purpose.

Several Of the candidates for United
States senator from Ohio are millionaires.
Why, then, should any newspaper object
more seriously to the election Of Mr.. Brice
than to that Of any other candidates One
or two democratic, and job lot of repub-
lican, newspapers are doing their best to
defeat Mr.. Brice, and they say that they dc
so because they don't think a millionaire
ought TO be elected. Democratic newspa-
pers which occupy this position have prob
ably never contemplated its inconsistency,
in that they oppose Millionaire Brice be-
cause he is a millionaire, and make no OBJ
lection to Millionaire Thomas. They must
have private grudge against Mr.. Brice.
AS for the republican organs which are
fighting him, nobody will seriously enter
tain the notion that they object to million
aire senator's.
