.rHE SHAMROCK.

BY MARGARET soULLlON.,
Dear emblem of my fathers faith,
Sweet leaf Of emerald green.
Famed by Natures purest breath,
Thy infant bed has been.
That cherished land has civ n thee birth,
Where still in dreams roam:
The dearest spot Ito me) on earth,
And my own old Irish home.
Let strangers stare or ohide my tears,
When they see me kiss leaf,
And speak of fourteen hundred years.
OF constant, true belief.
They little know how closely thou
Art linked with every year,
Or the silent kiss is but VOW.
That heaven we'll might hear.
You bring me tidings DER the sea,
From friends left behind,
Ties that never loosed by me,
Has absence more entwined.
Kindred hands has plucked thy stem,
From it's own green native sward,
And,the grateful prayer breathe for them
Is an exile's sole reward.
They think of me in Erin;
This token tells me so.
For the truest hearts are there, in
That land where. shamcocks grow.
And the sea has failed to sever.
Since DER its trackless foam,
My heart is wandering ever,
To it's dear old Irish home.

The Drummer Never Gets Left.

II want to observe sald drummer
last week, that while railroad conduc.
tors are gentlemanly and right good
fellows every way, there ara some in this
country who never should have been
prom ted from running y ca tie train.
The worst case ever strurk was out in
Ohio. I got train at Tifin some years
ago and discovered almost Immediately
that I had lost my ticket. / hated to
give up tbs three fifty that it would cost
to reach my destination. and, as I was
searching my pockets for the fifth time,
/ saw the conductor coming along with
fire in his eye. H. singled me out and
bounced on me. Here, he said, hold
ing out lead dollar. Il want. you to give
another for that
":What for?' asked
"'Cause it's bad he said.
''But have nothing to do with it, l
said. i haven't given you any money
yet,'
"'Yes, you did, he said angr1ly.
"'But, I tell you didn't. got on at
tt Ill., replied.
"See here, now. You can't play me
for a sucker. You got on at Watson's
and paid me five dollars, and this here is
one of them Hanged i'll mt believe
you knew it, too. Now, ii you don't
settle quick, I'll have you locked up4
He was talking load and the whole car
load was attracted to us. was going to
fight it out with him, when thought
that the best thing I could do was to
give him another dollar and rifle out the
five dollars worth that somebody else
had paid. I st II protested that did not
give. him the dollar, but finally took it
and gave him good one for 1t. Then l
tackled him for hat 81 %, and he said
he had given me one. denied it, and
he fina ly gave me the yellow slip, which
shows on Western roads that man has
paid his fare or had his ticket taken up
or puncued. Then / felt that / was in
two or three dollars. explained the
situation to two or three drummers; and
after they had laughed over it, the story
went around the car.
Finally, man who did not look a
bit like me came to me and said that he
guessed that he was the man that the
conductor was after, as he had occupied
nv seat and had bad dollar in his
clothes. 1t was missing, and he supposed
be might have given it to the conductor.
He offered to keep quiet about the mat
ter, and gave me good dollar for the
bad one. When the conductor came
scowling through the car again he got
the grand laugh, but he did not know
what it was about. Somebody gave the
snap away later Of, and as got of the.
tram at my destination, the conductor
approached me On the platform and
wanted me to pay my fare. I laughed at
him, because he had called me liar and
made hog Of himself generally. He
threatened to have me arrested, but
couldn't find an officer Finally he shook
his fist in my face and jumped on the
train, amid the jeers Of the drummers,
who had their heads ont Of the windows
ofthe cars .s

colt. Hsnlon and Manning, who escaped yester.
day, after reaching gulch near Laurel Grove
threw mp bTeastwork Of limbs. siumps and
soil around clump of trees IN a dense thicket
and secured a commanding aud impeneErable
position. They stood siege of about eighteen
hours, firing at their besicg RS every once in
while but did not kill anyone. Guard Bowen of
Mendocino, who was approaching very close To
their rend zvnus. had the stock of his gun shat
tered and the bones OF his right forearm broken
by the bullet reuoundiug from the stock. A ter
holding severel negotiations with the sheriFs,
and being convinced that no one was killed,
and probably securing some concessions, the
conviets surrendered their Wincaesters to
Sler;ffs Standley, OF Mendccino county, and
Healy, OF Marin county. They we're conducted
TO San Quentin prison. IL is surmised that
cousin of Manning was the psrtY who locked
the weapons in the prison grounds, and officers
are after him. Guard Bowtns right forearm.
which was shattered by q icbounding bullet
fred by q convict last nizhf, was amputated
today. Bowen came from Mendocino county,
