HIS DECORATION.

He walked by her side as they strolled apart
Through the lonely, blossoming ways,
Afar from the bugles and rolling drums,
The psalm of nations praise;
Afar from the crowds that fingered there
Mid the sunlit graves and the headstones fair.
They, too, with the reverent throng nao pent,
And in dear remembrance crowned
With palms and laurels and garlands bright
Full many grass-grown mound;
And heard the voices of comrades tell
How nobly the heroes fought andfell.
But now, In silence they turned away
Through meadows with daisies spread;
Her face was grave but her eyes were sweet
With the languor OF tears unshed.
And she held rose to her dnger tips,
Red as her own soft rose-red lips.
''You were kind tothe dead. ~ he said at last,
In pleading, injured tone,
s'But what OF the living soldier brave,
Who in daily fight alone
Must strive for duty nor dream OF fame;
Dare he no token OF honor claimY,,.
She turned with a smile half tears, ana placed
Her rose on his bosom. 'sThere,
My one last flower. II was meant for you
But was not sure you--would-care.
We give, unsought. to the noble dead
But the noble living must ask, /" she said.
--Aadettne S Brtdass.

The Little Operettn well Played by Mt
Washington Amateurs.
The pretty little operetta, THE Rose of
Salency" as given last evening in the Reading
Room Hall, Mt. Washington. was a most en-
joyable entertainment. The staging was un-
usually good; indeed, it savored of the pro-
fessional, and the costumes worn by the princi-
pal characters and by the villagers were beyond
the professional in beauty and perfection of fl.
The play is a simple little story sweetly told
in melody of the annual selection of the Queen
of Roses'' by the villagers in England. which, on
this special occasion, resulted in the crowning
of "Iisette" and was celebrated with song and
dance The envious rival, in the per-
son of q black-eyed miss, "Therese,"

''Lisette'' of stealing jewels. or something

picion upon the poor little queen until Captain
Antoine makes his appearance and establishes
"Lisette's" innocence, much to the disgust of

"Pierre"a brother of ''Lisette's," who has
been in trouble. and the celebration is renewed
with increased zeal.

THE OLD BLOCK HOUSE.

The present and the future are of most ac-
count to Pittsburg, but the past has claim
for consideration, too. There are not many
relics of Pittsburg's early days extant
Through all the changes and chances of
more than a century, however, the old
Block House has come practically un-
scathed 1t is not very much like fortif-
cation to-day, but the structure about which
so many historic memories cling is still
there. Not very many citizens know where
it is. The surroundings are not inviting.
Now it is proposed to give this curio of an
elder century suitable setting; to put it
where Pittsburgers may see it, grasp its
history, and enjoy it without hindrance.
Two plans having this object in view are
proposed. One is to lift the Block House
bodily and set it up in Schenley Park. This
is a good idea. Then comes MIR. Bigelow
with the startling information that there is
a possibility OF Mrs. Schenley creating
park out of her First ward property and
around the Block House. This is a
better idea still. The park would be
a great boon to the city, and the
old Fort could occupy its original
site. With the improvement of the river
bank on Duquesne way the park, and its
historical treasure-which might be made
the nucleus of an historical museum
would add immensely to the attractions of
the Exposition. 1t remains to be seen how
far Mr.. Bigelow is justified in his sanguine
authorizations. but if they are blighted the
old Block House should be taken out to
Schenley Park. There are precedents in
plenty for such a proceeding. The historic
Temple Bar was removed from it's awkward
station on Fleet street and re-erected in
Epping Forest, and in this country similar
removals OF endangered memorials have
taken place.

play fast and loose with the highest interests
Of the pork trade is illustrated alike by the
examples of United States pork and Servian
hogs. 1t also suggests that pork is as great
lever in European as in American
politics.
Indeed the fellow-feeling which ought to
be evoked by the hard case of the Servian
pig-breeders might lead the Chicago packers
to join the Gear in extending protection to
the Servians against Austria, if 1t were not
for the thought that the Austrian market
for American pork is likely to be improved
by this new move of the dual empire,
against the Danubian principalities.

goods, one of two things must happen.
Either the tendency must change toward
agricultural growth or the industries of the
nation must look to foreign markets for Gus
toners.
In the present state of things the agricult-
ural industry is the basis and support of
all the others. The growth Of the cities can
70 on as long as their manufacturing or
mercantile work does not exceed the de-
mands of the agricultural interest. If the
present growth of cities continues for two
or three decades, 1t is quite possible that
such turning point may be reached.

and looked well. indeed. He said he was now a
full-fedged candidate for Governor, and he ex-
pected to be elected. He didn't know that
there was anything else that could be said at
present He was not worrying about what the
other party would do, and he will do his best to
secure his election.
Young Dick Quay was also in the city yester-
day, talking to local politicians and would-be
politicians. 1t is quite likely that he conferred
with his friend Delamater during the day. but
there was no reporter around at the time to see
whether their greeting was of as warm and os-
culatory anature as the one they had at Harris
