BY JOHN LOGAN.
Hail. beanteous stranger OF the grovei
Thou messenger OF spring!
Now heaven repairs thy rural seat,
And woods thy welcome sing.
Soon as the daisy decks the green.
Thy certain voice We hear.
Hast thou star 10 guide thy path,
Or mark the rolling year?
Delightful visItantl with thee
hail the time Of flowers,
And hear the sound of music sweet
From birds among the bowers.
The schOol-boY, wandering through the woot
To pull the primrose gay,
Starts. thv most curious voice TO hear,
And Initiates thy lay.
What time the pea puts on the bloom.
Thou fiiest thy vocal vale,
An annual guest In other lands,
Another spring TO hail.
Sweet blrd! thy bower IL ever green,
Thy skV is ever clear;
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song,
No winter IN thy year!
o, could fly. I'd fly with thee!
We'd make, with joyful wing,
Our annual visit DER the globe,
Attendants on the spring.

The census of this State, so far as it has
proceeded, has disclosed a falling off in the
population in the rural towns. A
similar falling off was shown by the census
OF 1880. OF course our free trade friends are
quick to attribute this to the tariff. All the
evils which now affiict the country are
traced by these acute philosophers directly
or Indirectly to this cause. But every unpre-
jn1iced investigator will, we have no doubt.
find the cause OF the decline of agriculture In
this State and, as consequence, the falling
off in the agricultural population, In the supe-
rior advantages for farming afforded by the
great West. The protective tariff has neither
increased nor diminished these advantages.
But the protective tariff has to degree
saved the Maine farmer from another com
petition which would have proved disastrous
to him. We refer to the competition of the
Canadian farmer. With free trade not only
would the better soil of the west have been
competing with him but the cheaper labor of
the Provinces also. The products of the
farms of the Provinces are largely the same
as those of the farms of Maine, and under a
free trade policy they would have had as free
access to our markets Under those condi-
tions would the Maine farmer have been as
well off as he is today? Would Maine agri-
cultural communities have shown ~
failing off? Evidently not. ooEs

features, and by furnishing employment in
this direction has kept many of our people at
home who would otherwise have been COM
PEELED to go abroad for employment. The loss
ofpopulation in our agricultural towns which
was the inevitable result Of the opening up
of the great west has been largely offset by
the gain in manufacturing towns created
largely by the protective policy. Free trade
while it would not have arrested the decline
OF agriculture would surely have retarded
the progress of manufactures.

that it would s0rely wound their consciences

almost slew Bradford, the beast succeeding
in spriDging upon him unawares and bring

the tiger gnawed his arm, fearing that if he
moved his head itself would be taken within
the beasts jaws. Before the tiger had quite
finished the arm he was shot, but Sir Edward
lost an arm.

Occasionally a person is found who OPP
poses the Federal election bill because he
does not think the "nigger" ought to be
allowed to rule. Such an objection betrays
utter ignorance of the scope of the bill. The
bill applies only to congressional elections.
1t does not affect local government in any
way. If it be desirable that the negro be
prevented by force and fraud from helping
to make laws for his State, or perform
ing any other of the political func-
tions that appertan to cit
izen, there is nothing in this bill to him
der. 1t has nothing Ito with State cleo
tiOns, or with county elect olss with town
elections. The negro can be counted ont
and the ballot box can be stuffed in all local
elections just as freely after this bill becomes
law as before. SO the objection of negro
rule does not apply, for there is not the re-
hottest danger that the negro can ever elect
representatives enough to control the House
OF Representatives. Instead of being bill
to establish negro rule, it is really bill to
give the Northern white man bis full share
of political power and influence. As things
are now the Southern white voter is equal
to two Northern white voters. One purpose
of the Federal election law is to remedy this
Inequality.

Entombed In a Crater.

]. A. Beaton and r. w. Loudon, Of Albu-
querque, while on their way to the Malpais,
met Mexican who volunteered for few
dollars to go and show them what he knew
about the crater. As general thing Mexi-
cans are superstitious and shun the vicinity
Of the lava BEDS but this man agreed to go.
He piloted the Albuquerqueans to cave or
the highest point, through cracks in the floor
Of which warm vapor assembled. Viewing
the surroundings for a few seconds the men
were startled by low, rumbling sound, like
distant thunder, and the lava beneath their
feet trembled.
The Mexican fled Immediately to the open
air, but before the gentlemen could realize 1t
portion Of the bottom Of the cave fell, and
they with it, into intense darkness. Neither
was injured, but the ground upon which they
fell seemed to sway 70 and fro. Fortunately

matches, and after innumerable attempts 10

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated rs not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

The silver question is still worry
ing the mono-metalists in Congress.
The more the issue is discussed the
stronger it becomes and there seems
to be no escape from some liberal
policy on that question. Strong
efforts are being made in favor of the
Window bill, but it will hardly pass
without amendments approaching
very near to free coinage. The gold
standard advocates oppose free silver
coinage lest it should produce intla-
ton, lose government control of the
circulation, lessen the value of money
and increase the price of labor and
produce of every kind. This is just
what the country needs. The money
power now has complete control OF
the country, and it is from this source
springs all the evils complained OF.
fall the silver mined in the United
States and Mexico was coined or
converted into silver certificates and
put into circulation at the will of the
owners, the country would not suffer
from imitation, because it would not
only increase consumption in proper
ton, but would become most potent
in extending our foreign trade. En-
gland would be forced to take our
grain instead of that OF India, or buy
our silver at 100 cents in the dollar.
Silver is a product as same as wheat,
corn tobacco or cotton, commodity
rs tue.4 8nds demand the same as iron
OF any other metal. 1t requires
labor to produce it. Then if the gov
eminent legalizes silver as money, a
medium of trade, why should not
the government become an open
market for all the silver brought to
the mint or treasury at its standard
value? and allow it to go into cir
culation as a medium of trade, just
as any other product goes into mar
ket? The best thing Congress could
do for the country on this question is
to pass free coinage bill, giving the
miner or owner his choice to take it
to the mint and have it coined, or
carry it to the treasury in bullion
and deposit it in exchange for silver
certificates, redeemable in silver bull
lion, gold or greenback at the option
of the government.

It Would Aid Shonners.

1t would save ladies shopping much time
If articles exposed i'll shops for sale were in
variably plainly ticketed with the price.
This is generally concealed in system of
cipher, which an experienced person who for
shrewd business reasons desires to read can
easily fathom, but which involves the average
customer, who has no time to devote to trade
cipher, in the necessity of continually asking
the price. 1t is not difficult to read the trade
ciphers of stores at which one is in the habit
of trading. After few purchases the series
of letters or words corresponding to the
numerals are easily found out and the price
read. One house uses Gladstone" another
the same word reversed, another "Washing-
ton" without the last letter. Any word Of
nine letters, though preferably one without
an "o,' which may be confused with a SOP
may be taken. One houses uses "a b c d c f
g h i" TO take the place of the numerals for
its retail trademark. This is almost as readily
read as figures. But is there any reason be-
yond trade tradition that keeps up this SEM
blance of concealing the retail price of goodsl

The Truth About a Boy.

He comes out at the front door, bright
faced and happy. He comes out for no par
ticular reason, save that he wants to be NOV
ing about He is full of physical action, and
must get some of it out of him before bedtime,
or he won't be fit to sleep. He doesn't know
this with his head, but his body knowsit; for,
after all, the body does good deal of its own
thinking independently of what we call con-
seriousness. He stands on the step and looks
up and down the street. He doesn't know
what he is looking for. Indeed, he is not
locking for anything He just looks with a
sort of underlined hope that he will see some-
thing suggestive to him of what to do He
jumps down the STEPS and goes to the gate,
hangs on it a moment, makes a few sounds
with his voice such as nobody but boy can
make, and nobody else would make if he
could They don't mean anything. He makes
them because-well, because he is a boy.
AS if he had suddenly thought OF some
thing to do, he bangs the gate open and
rushes down the middle of the street yelling
like young Indian. But he has not sudden
ly thought Of something to do. He has sim
ply done that because he couldn't think of
anything to do and must do something. Then
he picks up a stone and fires it at a dog, and
cringes and feels sorry il it hits the mark.
He doesn't want to hurt the dog. He throws
the stone because he and the dog and the
stone are there, and it is handy to do so. For
few seconds he stands and looks up into a
tree at-nothing. Then he breaks into a run
again, and suddenly sits down on the curb
stone as if he had accomplished something
and was content.-W ashington Capital
