Facts Unchanged-Views Different.

Upon no fairer, sweeter spot
The sun to-day has shone
Than on the old farm burial lot
With roses overgrown.
Those roses on the graves, at first
BY long-past sorrows tear drops nursed,
Now all about the place have spread,
Trail on the ground. wave overhead.
Lay round each stone scented wreath,
And garland all the mounds beneath.
Yet nowhere TO my loving eyes
Such perfect flowers unfold
AS where the unnamed baby lies
Who died when three days old.
still can see his wee white face,
His dainty sh roud trimmed round with lace
His tiny coffin where he slept,
When l, child, above him wept,
And said, for then knew not grief,
"How sad his life to be so brief!"
O, little soul, flown long ago,
Bright o'er thy grave the roses blow;
With every breeze their red leaves fall,
While sweet a above the robins call;
And |, a careless child no more.
The little fiowery mound bend DER,
And say, for now l well know grief:
How blest thy life to be so brief!'

A Case Of Freeze Out.

The ozone was of a particularly
frigid nature yesterday, but there was
no companion with its freshness and
the chilly feelings of a young amateur
telegraph operator who bad called on
his best girl, out on South Ohio
avenue. He had arrayed himself in
his choicest raiment and as he neared
the residence of his inamorata his
heart beat high in anticipation of an
evening, pleasant in the largest de-
gree. On being received and usherd
into the hall he remarked, "Had

the room, while the lady seemed to
suffer no discomfort, he chartered out
that it was pretty cool and he be-

the New Council.

The city election is over and the
victory won by the democratic party
iaf f' count Of the result as given here.
with will prove interesting reading to
all whether they be of the democratic
way of looking at things, or
whether they be color-blind
republicans. The Australian system,
as the BAzoo said yesterday afternoon,
is an excellent one, and this was
proved by the quietness of yesterdays
election by the absence of annoy
ance at the polls from ticket peddlers,
ward bummers, drunken men and
such ; by the ease and celebrity with
which the ballot was sent On its
course from the ticket judges to the
booth, thence TO the receiving judges
and finally to the box to await its
turn to be counted. There were
no arrests during the entire
day. The voter did not have to
struggle through a crowd of his fellow
patriots at the risk of his clothes and
comfort in order to deposit his ballot.
He did not have TO endure the com.
mingled breaths of tobacco and whis-
|key-using citizens, while scratching
his ticket for the final depository.
After he passed the one hundred foot
barrier his progress toward the con-
eumation of the great American
privilege and duty was unimp-
(eded by anything to harrass him
br make him afraid, and the humblest
voter was accorded equal privileges
with him who wore the stockings of
alleged silk.
The Australian system, in fine,
means fair and honest vote, and a
air and honest vote means a demo-
cratic victory. Therefore, the figures
bf msjorities in the table accompany
ng demonstrate the excellence of the
ystem in more eloquent and
onyincing terms than all the
Fords in the language, correct V
nd appropriately put together, could
possibly attempt to do.
The opposing parties did hard work
uring the day, and each side was
onhdent of putting the other ''into
be soup" until towards the setting of
be sun. Late in the afternoon, how
yer, the democrats were assured
rom indications and from hints let
rop,: and from the downcast looks of
heir chief adversaries, that the vic
Dry was theirs. But they did
ot hesitate to keep on in the
god work, and encouraged by the
