week prior to Christ mas in 1859 had the effect
of concentrating the business on the day be-

GRANDFATHERs NEWSPAPER.

See him sitting, reading. there,
In his ''Sleepy Hollow chair:
Through with PASSIONS wear and tear,
Angels mark him for their own
Ry their light around him thrown,
Till his hair mas snow-white grown.
You may know his blood runs slow,
And the tide of life is low.
By the way his pulse-beats go;
BY his trem bling. withered hand,
Whitened as the gray beach sand
When the tide ebbs from the strand.
And his voice, somehow, will bring
Thoughts of instruments that ring
Out of tune, with broken string
As he reads the columns through,
In o panoramic view
Old as time, yet ever new.
He beholds the world 60 by
Men, whose one great crv is 81, -
Rushing, striving. till they die,
Some for riches, some for fame,
Gaining both to leave-a name,
Losing both to sink in shame.
There he reads some name. well known
Ever since hc knew his own,
Ready for the graveyard stone,
And he lays his paper by.
Shakes his head, with half sigh.
And is mapping presently.

Chickens in the Soup.

Perhaps if you are in the habit of eating
meals at the lunch counters about town you
may have noticed that steved chicken is one of
the most popular dishes on the bill of fare. The
popularity OF the chicken after it is SO to speak,
in the soup, is not an astonishing thing when
you consider how a long season of stewing will
reduce the toughness of an elderly bird. 1t is
a toothsome dish, in this wintry weather partic-
ularly, though it is likely to go beyond the
reach of the lunch counter if the deep snow
lasts.
The other day 1 asked the proprietor of a
modest restaurant where things are better than
they look and everything, anyhow. is clean and
wholesome. how much the popularity of stewed
chicken taxed his resources. And how many
chickens-courtesy demands that every bird
should be called a chicken till proved guilty-do
you suppose go into the pot at this single res
taurant in day? From 20 to 45 daily was the
average during November and the first weeks
of this month.

Politicians Find Christmas Costly,

A good slice of his income is what the aver
age politician in office must give up for Christ
mas presents. 1t is not only in treating 'the
boys'' to liquids and cigars whenever he meets
them during the holiday week that he must
spend many dollars, but for more substantial
presents for influential men, the leaders of the
ward, city. county or State, as his ambitions
extend their range, his expenditures must be
large.
This was impressed upon ma dozen times
yesterday afternoon as encountered the traces
of a county officials generosity in the shape of
cigars, umbrellas and other presents. A poll
tician who now enjoys the bliss of seeing
others in office told me that during his term of
office as high functionary in the county gov
ernment. he never got past Christmas and New
Years without paying toll to the tune of at
least $500. "Since then,' said he, Il believe
these charming little tributes of the season
have grown more expensive. and question if

1 held down escaped as lightly as did"

Hoar moved to amend by striking out
the provision for a Columbus statue.
Plumb argued against a naval review,
and said the purpose back of this amend
ment was that New York should have
something to break it's fall, something
that might minimize the fair at Chi

monarchy based on arms and republic

SWEPT BY A TORNADO.
Northern Alabama Visited by a Fearful
Storm.

NoTbneTn AAdDdud slsltcu " a VI
OZARK, Ala, April 21.-The upper por-
ton of Geneva county was visited by a
destructive tornado yesterday afternoon.
Houses, barns and fences were torn to
pieces. The fragments were carried up
into the clouds, and scattered in all di-
rections. The track of the tornado was
only a few hundred yards in width when
it first struck the earth, but it made a
clean sweep Of everything for distance
of seven miles. Then the black mass OF
storm-clouds rose above the earth, and
with roar louder than thunder, rushed
on, striking the earth miles away.
When it struck the second time its path
was wider, but it's force was not so great.
Fences and houses were blown down tor
a distance of two miles, and then the
force of the storm seemed to have been
spent. The loss OF life is very small
owing to the country being thinly popu-
lated and the fact that the terrible roar
of the storm was heard by number ol
people in time for them to get out OF its
track. No towns were struck. One re,
port places the number of persons
killed or fatally injured at nine, another
at fifteen. No names have yet been
obtained, the path of the tornado being
twenty miles from the nearest telegraph
office. The damage is $4,000.
