Where She Lies Dead.

From the OUeftdnd M0nthtn
The sun comes up and mocks me with its light,
The clouds lean white breasts to the sleepless
sea,
To bis sweetheart, across the new rassed lea
The rose blue mists before the sun hove fed,
The whole dear world is glad-thorgh she lies
dead.
Out in her well-loved garden spot tie flowers
Lift dreaming heads and half unfold their
leaves,
All wet and sweet with dew: tha sparkling
hours
Go slowly, as if plying him who geieves;
Her one white rose leans slender Garoat and
head A6A
Against the windowsill-where she ,,Ss dead
About the pond her frogs are all astir;
Their mellow. clamorous voices fill the air
Their tender voices so beloved Of her
That night kissed the violets in her hair,
When on my happy breast she laid her head,
T o hear their rnurmuring--now. she lies dead.
The locust blossoms sift, like dim. pale stars,
On purple air shot through and through with
gold,
Like dust blown off the wine-fushed grapes
and bars
OF warmth lie on the grass beneath-but
cold
And still is she whose heart. they always said,
Was strong and warm as fire-for she lies dead
Oh, love love love it is too great to bearl
That this glad world should still pulse strong
with life,
And thrill with mellow song, and all the air
With joy of bird and flower love be rife
While from thy breast thought, love and life
My God My Godl help me! while she is dead

The Boring Sea pisn,lte.

The difficulty between this country and
Great Britain growing out of the taking of
seals in Boring sea by Canadian sealers may
be considered as settled, for this year at
least. The proposition made by this gov
eminent, that no seals should be taken by
either American or Canadian sealers, ex-
cept 1850 by the North American CONNER
oial Company for the support of the natives
on Tribeiof islands, has been accepted by
the British government. The bill covering
all the points of the proposition has reached
that stage in parliament at which its pass
age is assured. 1t is expected that as soon
as the bill has passed this government and
that of Great Britain will join in requesting
Russia TO assist In keeping Boring sea free
from poachers. That Russia will comply
with the request there does not appear to be
any doubt.
The seals will have a chance to multiply
for one year. Aud from all accounts they
are greatly in need of such chance.
Special Agent Elliot, who was sent to the
Alaskan islands some time ago to report
upon the seals, stated that il something
were not done to protect them there would
be none Of them left within a very few
years.
But the agreement which has been
reached prohibiting the killing of seals this
year has nothing TO do with the seal issue
between this country and Great Britain.
That issus-whether persons sailing under
the British flag have the right to kill seals
in Boring seals to be settled by arbtra-
ton. And probably that is the only way
that it could be settled without resort to
arms. Secretary Blaine and Lord Salisbury
have been discussing it for year or more
without arriving at any satisfactory con-
clusion, and it is probable that they would
not his upon a basis Of settlement IL their
correspondence should be continued another
year.
One reason that influenced the British
| government to egree to a suspension Of the
slaughter Of the seals for a year was the
fear that if the killing continued at the
rate it was going on there would soon be
no more seals. All the seal skins are pre-
pared for market in London. The treat
ment of the skins is a great industry in
that city, and that industry. therefore,
was in danger Of being destroyed.

Crows Alighted on Ris Hat.

Farmer Alsnson T. Croft of Forest Lake
township Pennsylvania. says a special to the
New York san, placed an effigy of himself in
his coruheld the other day and before shutdown
three crows alighted on the scarecrow's hat and
sat there for several minutes. Dave Holcomb,
who works for Farmer Croft, thinks there is
nothing so cunning on earth as a crow, and the
top of his employers old hat tickled
Dave immensely. The holiness of the crows
displessed the farmer. and he took Dave to task
for being tlckled about it, Dave retorted by
declaring that Mr.. Con might as we'll stick
feather In the ground and expect to keep the
crews out of the cornfield with 1t as to set his
own image up out there. aud the discussion be
came so hot that Dave finally offered to bet the
farmer gallon OF whisky that he could fix
himself up and stand where the scarecrow was
until at least two crows came and alghted on
his hat
Farmer Croft snapped up the bet at once,
and the next morning Dave donned his best suit
OF clothes and took the scarecrow's place in the
corpfield The image was taken to the barn,
and Dave pulled an old SLOUGH hat over his eyes,
stuck his hands in his pockets, braced his back
against his post, and waited for the crows to
come around and make themselves familiar
with him Is was a holiday for the farmer, and
while Dave was posing he sat on his porch
watched Dave every minute, and scanned the
sky for crows. Not a crow came near the corn
held during the forenoon, and when Dave ad-
journed for dinner he said he hadn't been so
hungry in dogs age
Dave took an hours incoming. and then
started in again. Farmer Croft kept an eye on
him, and little after o'clock he saw flock
Of crows sail cut of piece of woods and alight
on the cornfield fence. They looked at Dave a
spell. and then the whole flock arose in a body
and settled down around him. Pretty soon
three Of them few up and perched on Dawes
head and shoulders, and when they had sat
there for minute or so Dave reached up and
caught one of them by the legs. All the other
crows flew away in a hurry when they saw their
companion huttering and squalling in the
scarecrow's hand, and Dave, VINO said he had
never bsen so tired in his life, marched TO the
houge with the noisy bird, and took swig of
the bet he had won.

The Cruel Khedive.

khediVe and walked toward the cage TO watch
the beasts eat. They were hungry and pounced
upon their food with a ravenous fury that
chilled me. Standing close by the stage with
her hands resting on the bars, was the little
child, her long golden hair ct times blown by

The Florida Capital.

Il looks very much as if the people Of
Florida would have chance 10 vote on the
question Of the removal of the state capital
from Tallahassee to Ocala The majority
by which the House agreed TO submit the
constitutional amendment. providing for
removal to the people, was very large, the
vote being As to IA, and there does not ap-
pear to be much doubt that the amend
meur will be passed by the Senate.
There has long been a strong feeling
throughout the middle and lower portion
of the state in avor of removing the CAPT.
tai to a more central point. Tallahassee
did very well until the southern counties
began TO be settled, but when the center of
population got far away from that city
the sentiment in favor of a more csntral
location for the capital steadily gained
strength.
Tallahassee is delightful old town, and.
within the last few years, has had a very
considerable growth. The loss of the capt.
tai would give it little setback. doubt
less, but it would not permanently inj1e it.
1t is surrounded by a splendid country and
has an admirable location. In the course
of time it is pretty certain to be quite an
important manufacturing place.
The cost of removing the capital will Of
course have considerable influence with the
people in determining whether or not the
capital shall be removed in the near future.
new state house would have to be erected
at Ocala, but, as a matter of fact, Florida
needs new state house, and new one will
have to be built before many years whether
it is decided to move the capital to Ocala or
not. Florida is well able to begin the erec-
ton of new capital building. She has an
immense amount of public la1ds which are
steadily increasing in value. II they are
wisely handled new state house can be
built without much increase in the rate of
taxation.
If the capital should go to Ocala an i'm
petus would be given to the scheme to cede
that portion of the state directly south of
Alabama to that state. While Florida would
object to losing any part of her territory,
the majority Of the people living in that
part of the state which Alabama covets
would, in all probability, favor annexation,
because it would bes more convenient for
tuoul W udNo HAOhtBoLueTH AOE bnoiE capital
than IL would to have Ocala-
1t does not appear to have required a
great deal OF effort to secure majority OF
the House in favor Of moving the capital to
ocala. And the size Of the majority seems
to indicate that neither the Senats nor the
people will offer any very serious objection
TO the adoption Of the constitutional amend
ment

France is trying to establish a workman's
pension upon an equitable basis. It is a
very worthy object But at first sight il
does not appear wholly practical. 1t is all
well enough to provide that the workman
and his employer shall each contribute to
such fund. But will they do ita That's
the question. If they don't then the scheme
is a failure to start with. What the gov
eminent proposes to add to it would nat
urally be somewhat governed by what is
contributed by the ultimate beneficiaries.
Unless they are much more patient than
their American brethren the French work
men are not likely to relish the idea of
waiting thirty years to realize upon that
regular contribution.

Some Of the ladies of the Presidents
family are said to be starting on a trip
through Europe. stopping with the various
foreign ambassadors of the United States
in the cities visited. That is an entirely
new and very thrifty way Of travelling.
Using the American embassies as post
houses has at least the merit Of novelty
No Presidents family ever undertook to so
get the benefit of the putatiye obligations
that the foreign representatives owe the ex-
ecutive. Clearly the Harrison family in
tends to work the presidential office for all
it's worth. They see that the general pub
is not wild to have another ordeal with
them, and they are going in for all the frolic
that Presidents relatives can have at pub
lie expense. They are rather an absurd

Assuming an air of superior knowledge, and
looking at his customer with piteous glance of
sympathy, he ventured to Mrs. Clemens:
