BIRD-TIME.

When rllls from icy prisons luru
Like children out to play,
When meads with mantles green replace
Their sleeping gowns of gray. .:H
When tassels deck the forest tents =
In wizard silence spun, -
And plant earth no more resents
The tahdnessof the sun. Sy t. !
What Soy; along the ;breezes bland
At morn aud eve to hear,
The Music OF the plumed baho
That halls the Weakening yearl
A winged voice is everywhere,
The sunbeamS singing shine.
And every breath of tuneful air
Is light as beaded wine.
Unworn the ancient carols pour
From throat of living bird,
The very strains that DER and Ger,
In vernal gladness heard,
The turtles cooed in fir and pine,
And mid the myrtles sung
The nightingales of Palestines,
When Solomon was young. .
As dulcet fine, as crystal pure.
As tender, and as free, ..>,.-.., -'-"..'..'...'
The bluebird's weroled overture
NaSeS III our nOmeSpeaQ Tree,
And the song-sparrow, Aprirs pet,
SalutaS his fellows small,
And trills his tremulous canzonet
On every garden wall
The yellow-hamniers pipe and beat
Among the fragrant glades;
The redbreast flutes his solo sweet
And laughs his glad rculades;
The peewee from the courthouse thatch
Repeats his name all day;
And the brown-5hrasher troll his catch
High on the hickory spray.
The wren song, like shower Of sparks,
Out flashes, and is still; o..
Far peal the notes of meadow-larks;
Aud farther, on the hill,
With cry or jay-bird and chewink,
And call of soaring crow,
The deeper tones of nature link
In quaint solfeggio.
The more, as greener foliage grows,
The chimes of spring rejoice;
The orchard gladder buds and blows
To hear the kingbirc's voice:
The dun fly catcher perching filings
His puny plaSh of cheer;
And the green hummer's happy wings
Purr at the tulips ear.
The martens chirrup as they whee,;
The orioles whistles gay;
] hear beyond the alders steal
The blackbird's gurgling lay;
And bobolinS, Mays last delight,
The breezy fields along
Comes scattering in his sidelong fight
A trail of tinkling song.
Then on each wave of joy that sweeps
Across the open land.
Flat echoes from the forest deeps
That charm me where | stand.
Thro' shaded aisieS runs silvery soft
The black-th throat's limpid tune,
And vireos in the murmuring loft
Enchant the vernal noon.
Where the bright tanager recites
His clear mock-robin' hymn,
And yellow warblers' notes like lights
Thro' sylvan shadow swim,
And the saint wood-thrusb, bird devout,
The sweetest of the choir,
His golden Angelus rings out
AS from some temple spire.
U SlnlesS songSterS, they are dead
Who followed where ye lead,
And listened at the fountain-head
OF melody indeed.
Your lays are language seer and bard
Translate to men no more,
The only music left unmarried
At shut of Eden's door.

When to heaven repair,
The souls of birds on earth that sing
Will join the anthem there;
And my gentle friends shall know
In every fadeleSs tree,
And thank the heart whose overflow
OF love they brought to me.

A VARIOUS MAN.

South Dakota has remarkably versa
tile representative in the house in the
gallant, chivalrous and elegant PICK
LER. His associate has so fallen into
his shadow that it is difficult to see him.
PIeKLER is prolific. He has his head
full of great ideas, nothing is too vast
for him. His early fame was due to the
grace and beauty with which he cham
pioned women's rights. Then he has
connected his name with the financial
scheme thai is to give every one all the
money wanted. The past week he sends
home a correction of the impression that
the MORRILL, bill was broad enough for
him. He voted for 1t as the best in sight.
but his aspiration is service pension
bill. Nothing short of this would be
justice to the soldiers, he thinks. Then,
in addition. he is a Jealous prohibition
list, and would confiscate every original
package. He took the MCKINLEY bill
as if he really liked it. He will evil

voter in his state.

TIE PIONEERS.

The corridors of the Merchants hotel
were yesterday filled with more than
the customary number of elderly gen.
tIemen-men with white hair and
snowy boards. And fitting through the
parlors and Railways up stairs were
large number of pleasant-faced. mat
ronly ladies-eyidently the grand
mothers of somebody. These aged peo-
pie represented pretty nearly all of the
old settlers of Minnesota-thoSe who
came in 1849 or earlier to fell the forests,
open the quarries, and make the rough
places smooth for the generation which
now bears the heat and burden OF the
commonwealth labors.
The occasion was the regular annual
gathering and banquet of the ''Old Set
tiers Society of Minnesota" which
once every year meets at the Merchants
hotel in st. Paul to recall the incidents
of pioneer life, to renew the friendships
of their youth, and lay memorial flowers
upon the tombs of those$who have
''crossed the river and rest under the
trees Of the undiscovered country"
Those in attendance yesterday were
mostly elderly people. though there
were some who were in the prime of
life, having been born here prior to
1850. The gathering was striking
commentary upon the evolution of forty
years. There were present men who
have been governors, senators, cabinet
officers-men who have won wealth and
honors by hard labor and large foresight;
and there were other men and women
who have traversed the quiet walks OF
private and transformations usefulness.
But Ill this gathing all were equal. The
spirit of ''auld acquaintance" is very
democratic; and as these elderly men
and women met to renew their youth and
compare notes of the long forgotten past,
there was no room between them for
thought of the caste of wealth or social
position. All met upon that same COM
mon ground of perfect equality upon
which the first assembled forty years
ago to inaugurate 1.-THE Old Settlers
society,""
The GLOBE salutes these fathers and
mothers of this sturdy commonwealth,
and wishes to bear testimony to the fact
that they have we'll done their work.
May each one who yesterday partici-
Dated in the annual reunion live in
health and prosperity to enjoy them for
many years to come. And why should
they not? Certainly they were a sturdy
looking lot of patriarchS-a little whit
ened by the frosts of time, perhaps,
but still strong and apparently healthy.
They are living examples of the life
giving qualities of our Northwestern at
mosphere, and each recurring reunion
is an advertisement that Minnesota is
morally and physically healthful
climate

THE STRONGEST OF ALL.

There are good many growing cords
to link the North and South. The me-
mortal occasions when the hands are
claSped across where the chasm once
was are threads in the new cord. The
rails that so thickly interlace the sec
lions are iron bands. The vast amounts
of capital that have gone South for in
vestmert have aided to put sectional
animosity under the developing re-
sources. Better and sweeter are the
ties formed about the matrimonial al
tar. A daughter of JEFFERSON DAVIS
is the happy bride of the descendant OF
the extreme of ancient abolitionists. A
lovely daughter of the Confederate Off
Ger, Gen. W. PRESTON, of Kentucky,
has given her hand to Massachusetts
Union soldier. But the highest and
most inspiring evidence of regained fell
lowship and fraternity is found in the
United States senate when the states
man from Vermont, amid the applause
of his associates, deliberately avows his
preference for Kentucky bourbon.

HELPLESS PEOPLE INSIDE.
Several st. Louisans Fatally
Burned i'm a Tenement Fire.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-The building 1888
Franklin avenue, the second floor of
which is occupied as a tenement by sew
eral families, and the lower floor as a
paint shop, was discovered to be on fire
at about o'clock this morning. The
fire started on the second floor. and
burned for about half an hour before it
was discovered. When the alarm was
turned in the fire was we'll under way.
AS soon as the firemen arrived a stream
of water was turned on the burning
building, but no effort was made to res
cue the occupants until loud screams
from the second story indicated that
there were helpless people inside. The
firemen entered and found the family
of George Schlothman struggling
in the smoke and flames in t! e
two front rooms. Mr.. Schlothman w.
frightfully burned, and was lying help
less on the floor. His wife and two
children were also burned, and his
father, an old man nearly seventy years
of age, had been smothered to death in
his bed. Charles HausS, who occupied
the rear apartments with his wife and
child, had just left to go to work. and
his wife and little son were caught in
the flames. Mrs. HauSS could have eS
capped, but her little boy was so fright
ened that he ran under the bed, and in
the frantic mothers efforts to save her
child she was dangerously burned. The
child was found in an unconscious con-
dition, but the mother is able to speak.
The injured were all taken to the dis
pensary. Schlothman is not ex-
pected to live. The recovery of
his two children is also doubt
full. though Mrs. Schlothman may
pull through. Following is list of
casualties: George Schlothman, thirty
two years, badly burned. Annie Schloth-
man, his wife, burned about the head,
neck, shoulders and arms. probably
fatally. Harry Schlothman, nine years.
Walter Schlothman, four years. Mrs.
Mary Hauss, burned about head and
arms. serious. Little son of Mary
Hauss. badly burned. After rescuing
the inmates, the firemen turned their
attention to extinguishing the flames,
which succumbed in short time. The
damage will amount to $4,000, insured.

John Abbott to Be Assistant
President of the Great
Northern.
He Will Pay Particular Atten-
ton to the Revenues Of
the Road.
Sketch Of Mr.. Abbott's Rail-
road Experience With the
Erie Railway.
Grain Rates, Chicago to Sea-
board, Cut to 20 1-2
Cents Basis.

The GLOBE published Sunday tele-
gram from Chicago stating that John
n. Abbott, ex-chairman of the Western
States Passenger association, was
about to be appointed assistant general
manager of the Great Northern. An
interview with MI. Abbott was also
published. in which he denied the
story. The presence of Mr.. Abbott in
st. Paul, and his visits to the Great
Northern offices indicated that there
was something behind the rumOred APP
pOintment-that If he were not going to
be assistant general manager, he would
be something else in the service of this
railroad. The publication of the rumor
Giles. and yesterday morning the Great
Northern officials, from president
Gownwards, were interviewed as to
what appointment Mr.. Abbott was
to be the lucky recipient of.
A representative OF the GLOBE
saw Vice President W. G. Clough. The
latter did not deny that Mr.. Abbott was
going to be an official of the Great
Northern, but declined to name the po-
Sition he would fill. That would be
fully set forth in the official circular to
be issued-when, he would not say. 1t
was singular that so much reticence
should hive been shown. for late yes.
terday afternoon the GLOBE received
the following:
Great Northern Railway Company. Presi-
dents Office, st. Paul. Mimi, June 2, 1890.
John n. Abbott is hereby appointed as
sistant to the president and will pay par
ticular attention to matters affecting the
revenues of this company and Its proprie-
tary lines. JAMES j. HILL, President.
All speculation is thus quoted. Mr..
Abbott was speaking within the bounds
of truth when he denied the rumor that
he was to be appointed assistant general
manager; he gets much better APP
pointment. Mr.. Abbott is railroad
man of undoubted ability, and, in the
passenger department, can hold his own
with any. other man in this country. He
was bOrnIin New York City Nov. II,
1915, and entered the railway service
April, 1861. From that time to Dee. 16,
1886, he was connected with the New
York & Erie road and its SUCCESSORS
the Erie 81 New York, Lake Erie &
ity: April, 1861, to March, 1868, Junior
clerk general superintendent office;
March, 1868, to October. 1869, chief
clerk general ticket office; October.
1869, to June 1872, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent (also of At
lantic Il Great Western railway; June,
1872. to December, 1886, general pasSen-
ger agent. In December, 1856, Mr.. Abb
bolt was appointed commissioner of the
Southwestern Passenger association.
He continued to hold this post until
March. 1889, when he was elected chair
man of the Western States Passenger
association. The salary attached to The
latter is $4,000 per annum.

Bishop Paret Explains the Epfs-
copalian Proposition.
BALTIMORE, June 2.-Bishop William
Paret, of this Episcopal diocese, said to
reporter of the American regarding a
union of the Episcopal and Presby-
terrain churches: "The point is this:
In 1886 the house of bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal church sent to
all Christian bodies letters expressing
readiness to confer in kindness with
anybody desiring it for the unity OF all
church people, naming four things
which were considered beyond COM
promise. They were: First. the in
tegrity of the scripture; second, The old
Christian (Nicene) creed; third, the two
sacraments. baptism and the Lords
supper. without any mutilation. Fourth
the historic episcopate. Upon the
first three things the Presbyterians ex-
press their entire assent, and the only
point of divergence is in regard to the
fourth, the historic epiScopate. These
letters, as you can see, were sent out
oyer four years ago, and this IS
the first formal reply we have
received. The Lutherans answered
pretty sharply. and said they
WOu1u udFo llOt1lllS W uO Will ouCu q
move, while other bodies responded
with more or less gentlenesS. No COM
municatiOn was sent to the Catholics,
because it is known that they would not
have come in. This is too great a mat
ter, if ever accomplished, to be done in
haste. There are enormous difficulties,
and in my opinion the problem Is a
terrible one. The result of such a
union no one could now we'll tell"

A REPUBLICAN CANINE.

1t greatly annoys a stripe of Repub-
lican papers to have the Louisiana lot
terry connected with their party. Yet
the most recent exposition of the situa-
ton in Louisiana is that its only chance
is in the colored vote, which no Repub-
lican will admit is not solidly Repub-
lican in the South. Fortunately, the
legislature now in session has very
few Republicans in it, and is be-
lieved to be reliable to defeat the
scheme. 1t is conceded by the oppo-
nents that there would be almost no pos
sibility of keeping it from new lease
of life if the legislature should allow the
amendment to be submitted. Why the
cOlored men should favor it is well I'M
derStoOd in that section. A large ma
jority of them are Republicans. Hence
the lottery people are dependent upon
