breeze blowing through the Golden Gate was
comparatively mild As the day advanced, how.
ever, the wind rose and the President, who
stoed upon the bridge, soon exchanged his silk

just then the Monterey slipped from her ways
and plunged gallantly into the bay, throwing up
a mountainous wave OF foam from her sharp

people ceased cheering, and the new addition to

gaze OF admiring thousands.

THE LAUNCH OF THE MONTERREY
San Francisco APriE rs. 1891.

Dedicated o Mr. Irving NJ Scott
The furnace fires burn low, and stllled the din
Of hammered anvils ON POtrero's shore.
Where Union forges vast now dark within,
Wrought mid those roaring blasts, and shaped with
skill,
The nodded metal from the mass at length
Springs forth, ebedIent to the masters Will,
Complete IN every part for speed and strength,
Supplied with all mechanic science boasts,
Behold the youngest guarder OF our coasts
Roll In the waves of old st. Francis Bay,
Around the rocky isle. where long ago
Drake's daring ship and staunch San Carlos lay.
Like celestial benediction lies
The western sunlight on that restless tlde;
Impatient chafng to receive the prize,
And bear old Ocean his majestic bride.
Lo : there serene upon those massive stays
She waits-the exposure OF every gaze.
She waits the spark from Hesyn one touch, and 10 /
Swift thrilling through with newborn life, lshe
Exultlng to the longing depths below,
While her salute baptismal loud resounds.
Our Monterey here last our Dag tofy,
As she, thine honored namesake, was the frstI
On this, thy natal day, who shall deny
Some gentle mem'ries unto her who nursed
Our infant State-tho cannon of that fray
Which freed US echo still from Monterey.
We need no wise astrologer to cast
Thy horoscope. thou wdrder of the sea;
But read thy glory in our nayy's past
The first in peace, in war, in victory!
Nor need we messenger TO tell us where
To seek thee when thou Dartest from this shore;
Where duty calls, where need. where danger, there
We know that thou wilt eer be to the fore.
So join the fleets that guard our sovereign coast,
To keep our peace unDroxen be thy boast
We pledge thee, Monterey with brimninr ewes;
May Peace. Prosperity, attend thy path:
But, should the'GUJ of Battles just and wise,
Let loose the bowling dogs of war In wrath,
Unto that God trust thee-keep thy fame
And honor stainless e'en II death must be;
So on our Nations 'scutcheou shall thy name
lie craven deep with Giory's biazonry.
Freedoms defender on the circling seas,
God-speed where'er our flag flies iu the breeze

The Cow vs.. the Railroad.

The supreme court of Indiana has at
firmed point OF railroad law that is
important in all agricultural communi-
ties. A farmers cow strayed on the
railroad track and was killed by train.
He sued the company for the value OF
his cow. and the company sued him for
damages to the locomotive. The suit
has gone through all the courts, until
now the supreme court of the state has
decided. in effect, that il is as much the
farmers business to keep his cows off
the railroad track as it was the bust
ness of the railroad company to keep
its locomotives out of his pasture lots,
and that if either strayed on the prop
erty of the other their owner was liza
bic for the damage caused Conse-
quently the farmer pays for the dam
age to the locomotive. and the company
does not pay for the CONVENTIONAL
