hear the sexton, old and shufai 2, tread
 With lantern dim the creaking belfry stair, To knel (with watering ey.s) the Old year dead,
 How oft,as happy lads in youths bright home, With eager hearts and supple limbs we strove
 And scaled from night to night each brazen To raid'thedusky pigeon cote abovel
 Fast friends and true were we in those brave times
 Till both set heart upon the same white dove; .--r But whilst he learned to play his silvery chimes, Iwon the victory on the field of love.
 Where is thy heart, my poor old friend, to. l I night? e -
 And mine as old and bruised and once SC Mine was the bride arrayed in robes of white Thy bells said no, when she was in hel | shroud.
 1 An, which shall claim her in the other life, Although they neither mate nor marry there?
 What gentle souls accept the name of wife To walk unwed save to the cross they bear A murmur that feel, but cannot hear, Upon the solemn silence softly steals, = l A sense of sound before it strikes the ear,- And now the great bells chime their New
 years peal! MoSsson, December 90, 1889.
 Gov. Brackett, in his address to the ! Mass. legislature, said, speaking of the Eliquor law: "Every license to sell liquor to be drunk on the premises is subject to
 the condition that the licensee shall not keep public bar, and shall hold license as an innholder or common victuallef and
 this latter he is not entitled to hold unless actually carrying on the business specl. fled. The meaning of the law clearly is ! that, while liquor may be sold by Ii. censed dealer, like other merchandise, to be carried away, it shall not be sold to be drunk on the premises except In hotels and restaurants. The obvious intent is to do away with the dramshop and the public bar, and only to allow the licensed pro. prietors of hotels and restaurants, as incl. dental. to their principal business as snch, to furnish liquor to their bona fide guests.

HIS DREAM CAME TRUE.
Was It Remarkable Coincidence or
 How Do You Explain It?

Was It a Remarkable Coincidence or
 How Do You Explain It?
 J. D. Young, the well-known insur- ance agent had dream Friday night which caused him to awaken and arouse his wife, says the Cincin- nati Enquirer. It was that he saw wagon coming along with two bodies in it, and in lifting one of the men out, as he was turned over, he appeared to be dead Then two men appeared at the head of the corpse who seemed to be Italians, and were arguing as to whose knife it was that fitted the wound, which was on the right side. Then he heard the name of the dead man. It was Mark Taylor, and as he knows no man by that name he asked in his dream, "Who is he?" and the reply came loud and distinct, "Why, he's the coachman of John Henry" When Mir. Young came to his office yesterday morning he asked Mir. Henry, who had an office with him, the name of his coachman. Henry replied:
 we nave new man,, ana MT. Henry gave different name than Taylor.
 "He was cut last night" said Mir. Young.
 "Yes," replied Henry, "but how did you find it out? It was not published in the papers,"
 Young replied: "I dreamed it, and that's all know about it."
 Now both Mir. Henry and Mir. Young are puzzled about the coincidence.

DRUNKEN INDIANS.
A GOOD CAPTURE MADE BY TO-
 CAL OFFICERS.
Pimas Who Celebrate St. John's Day Slack Times in the Recorders Court Work for the Justices.

Yesterday morning Constable Slank- ard heard of band of drunken Indians that were holding high carousal on the river bank south of Gray's. He com municated the information to the proper official, Deputy Marshal E. NJ. Mills, and the two started for the seat of war, They found select assemblage of nearly fifty Pimas and Maricopas down on the edge of the river, all more or less under the influence of liquor, and having glorious time. The officers tied up their horses and tried to "round up" the crowd on foot. They were quickly dis covered, however, and each individual Indian broke for cover with the speed of an antelope. Mills and Slankard are not sprinters, but they dashed through the shallow water in hot pursuit and succeeded in overhauling Big Charley" They also secured, as trophies of the chase, three whisky bottles. The pris- oner was brought to the city and placed in the County Jail. He is young buck, but perhaps the largest man of his tribe. He is over six feet in height and must weigh 300 pounds. He is we'll known, speaking fair English and good Spanish and has several times acted as an interpreter in the courts. It is ex- pected that he will tell where and from whom he got the liquor. Marshal Mills has been diligent in his efforts to dis cover the persons who have been keep ing the Indians supplied with intoxi- cants and it is to be hoped that from the clues obtained yesterday the culprit may be brought to light and receive his just deserts.

The Comedian Runs Up Against the

 New York Press.
 Writing of trout reminds me that genial Billy" Florence has been telling another fishy story, and this time caught a tartar. It was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, where he lives, and there was quite group around, including Mr.. Cooper, the Mexican onyx mine owner, when MT. Florence gravely told about going a fishing and catching fish that weighed 800 pounds. The onyx mans eyes twinkled like stars as the story was concluded, and to Mr. Florence's inquiry whether or not he couldn't tell fish story, too, he replied :;
 "You bet can. Why. went a fish ing once and caught 'possum that weighed 500 pounds. He was the big gest-"
 "But hold on," put in Mir. Florence {; "what's that got to do with fish?"
 "Eh? Oh, yes. We'll, you see, we weighed him on scales, and you must admit scales have something to do with fish, and then, as he was 'possum, we set him to telling stories to suckers suckers are fish, eh ?"
 Florence gasped for breath, and owned up that he was defeated.

The Discreet Woman.
New York Sun.


 Who is the discreet woman? The discreet woman is the one:
 Whose tongue can think as we'll as speak.
 Who doesnt rely on her "woman's in- stinct" to teach her how to do every thing in the world from making a mayonnaise dressing to running steam boat.
 Who makes point of seeming to know only half as much as she really does.
 Who doesn't tell lie if she can help it, but who holds fast to lie once told, though the heavens fall
 Who never tells her underlying philo- sophy of human life even to her dearest friend.
 Who never makes an obvious display of her power over any man. Who can be stone-biind and post-deaf and oyster-dumb upon occasion. Who never demanded anything of anybody as right.
 But who knows how to assume her rights so completely as never to miss getting there.

A little man asking how it happened that many beautiful ladies took up with indifferent husbands after many fine offers, was thus aptly answered by a mountain maiden: A young friend of hers, during a walk, requested her to go into delightful canebrake and there get him the handsomest reed she must get it in once going through, without turning. She went, and, coming out, she brought him quite mean reed. When he asked if that was the hand somest one she saw, "Oh, mo-" replied she, saw many finer ones as I went along, but kept on in hopes of much better, until had gotten nearly through and then was obliged to select the best that was left"

The Best Butter Cow.

The best butter COW on record is
the jersey cow Eurotisama, bred
and owned by d. F. Appleton, Of
Ipswich, Massachusetts. This ami
NAL has broken the best previous
record by completing years test,
which shows total product of 945
pounds and ten ounces. This is 8
pounds IL IA ounces more than
the yield of the only other COW that
is known to have reached 800
pounds. The record would proba-
bly, have been raised still higher,
perhaps to 81, COO pounds, but for
a sickness caused by the COW eating
stolen sour apples during the
twenty-tirst week ofthe test. This
mishap reduced the yield of butter
from % Ia pounds TO IL pounds.
The animal has noted blood in her
veins, being related to the Stoke
Pogis, Victor Hugo, Alphea and
other distinguished Jersey strains.
Of course, from calfhood the feed
and care bestowed were of the very
best, but her owner asserts that not
particle of anything in the way
of medicine, condiment or etiu,u-
liant was taken by the cow during
the year of her test.

engraved signature of the Register

q memorandum that it is issued
under the act of March 8, 1868;
and that it is legal tender for
A facsimile Of the
Treasury seal 10 printed upon it in
red ink and by q separate impress
sion. In an open space on the
back is a statement that "this note
is a legal tender at its face value
for all debts, public or private,
except duties on imports and in
terest on the public debt" with a
note of the punishment denounced
against its counterteiting or altera-
tion. Originally it bore q certificate
of its right to be converted into
bonds of the United States bearing

tional credit, without date or time
of payment, which, for all ordinary
purposes, is money equal to the
