REFLECTIONS.

A stretch OF water. moeonless and gray.
Far as the eye can reach q boundless deep
Hinged by the leAden clouds that DER It sweep
still in the hush Of the departing day;
10 shadows wrapt save where In bright array
The crimson banners OF the sun outleap
The enfolding mists that ever upward creep,
And cast a track Of glory DER the way.
So am l. love, who give to you the whole
OF this slow brain TO touch to life divine,
OF this dull heart to thrill TO ecstasy,
The while the golden glory Of your soul
Is flung athwArT this somD-r life OF mine,
Which only asks to mirror 1t for aye.

An early Greek writer on arithmetic
says that 'Agamemnon was SO ignorant
of the names of numbers as not to
know that he had two feet" This state
ment was, no doubt, too strong, but it
is clear that the idea of number came
slowly to the Greek mind as compared
with the idea of form.

PATRICK EaAN, United States minister
to Chill, should be recalled for several
sufficient reasons, the first n OF which
is that he should never have, been APP
pointed. BY antecedents and character
he is an unfit man for the position, nor
was he a citizen of the United States
when appointed. He had passed the
gates Of Castle Garden a few short
months before, a fugitive from his ma
tive land, strongly implicated in crimes
not political. His appointment was an
insult to representative Irish citizens of
the United States, whom Harrison stu
pidly thought to requite in this tanner.
Contention, elimination and recrimina-
ton have characterized his residence in
Chill as representative of this govern
ment. That he was a strong partisan of
Balmaceda in the civil war is beyond
question, though the law of nations de-
manded Of him non-interference in the
premises. His business should have
been to look after the interests OF the
United States, not those of Patrick
Egan and Balmaceda. His conduct was
such as to render him exceedingly un-
popular with the junta, and when they
came into power his presence there
was a continual menace to the friendly
feeling that should exist between two
republics. His usefulness is at an end,
conceding that he ever had any. He is
not trusted by his n~eighbors in Chill.
They are convinced that he betrayed
them once and have no assurance that
he would not do SO again. These are
reasons enough why he should be re-
called.

CAPTURED THE R G
The Young Man Who Fleeced Bach, Cory
e. Co. and Others Caught.

IL AOuuS All II e loeCeu 1bhCn, SOfy
& Co. and Others Caught.
Sergeant Nicholson was walking down
Main street just before twelve o'clock last
night when he met r. w. Wolf who Ia
wanted here for forgery. The sergeant
said II want you Wolf" The Young man re-
piled that his name was Means. At the
city hall Nicholson made his prisoner oper
his mouth and found thet an upper front
tooth was missing. This Tailed with the
description. Wolf acknowledged then that
he was the man wanted. A few
weeks ago he got some money on a forged
check, which was cashed by Bach, Cory d
Co. His manner of obtaining money was
quite simple. He ordered a bill of goods,
saying he would call in the morning for
them. A check drawn by his alleged en-
ployer was presented for the goods, and
the difference between the amount sold and
his check turned over in cash. The same
scheme was tried at Kleinschmidt's gro cery
house on Main street the same evening, but
failed.
An hour after Wolf was arrested Joe
Holcber9, the pawnbroker who is holding
an auction sale next door to the Grand
Central hotel, called at the city hail.
He sold Wolf five watches last
night, on which the young
man made a small deposit. A man we'll
known to Holcberg was with Wolf which
threw the broker q little off his guard.
Wolf had a check and said he would get
the watches this%m morning. One of the en-
ployes wanted to take the check and give
the innocent looking young fellow the
difference in cash, but the people
at the store thought it would do lust az
we'll to wait until the goods we're called for.
When searched at the city hall Wolf had a
memorandum of the number of the watches
and the amount paid to bind the sale, He
carried his left arm in a sling and told the
people at the store that he was a horseman
and had been injured by falling from a
horse. Sergeant Nicholson says Wolf has
been working on a ranch in the valley
since he was In Helena before.
