TIE TWO AGES.
N were happy as DAYS were long

Folks were happy as days were long
In tho old Arcadian times;
When life seemed only dance and q song
In the sweetest of all sweet climes.
Our world grows bigger, and, stage by stage,
AS the pitiless years have rolled.
We've quite forgotten the Golden Age
And come to the Age of Gold.
Time went by in a sheepish way
Upon Thessaly's plains Of yore.
In the Nineteenth century, lambs at play
Mean mutton. and nothing more.
Our swains at present are far too sage
To live as one lived Of old;
So they coupled the crook of the Golden Age
With hook in the Age of Gold
From Corydon's reed the mountains round
Heard news of his latest flame,
And Tityrus made the woods resound
With echoes of Daphne's name.
They kindly left us q lasting gauge
OF their musical art, we're told,
And the Pandean pipe of the Golden Age
Brings mirth to the Age of Gold.
Dwellers in huts and in marble halls,
From shepherdess up to queen,
Cared little for bonnets and less for shawAs,
And nothing for crinoline.
But now simplicity's not the rage;
And it's funny to think how cold
The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age of Gold.
Electric telegraphs, printing, gas,
Tobacco, balloons and steam
Are little events that have come to pass
Since the days of the old regime;
And, spite of Lempriere's dazzling page.
I'd give, though it might seem bold,
A hundred years of the Golden Age
For n wear of the Age of Gold

DR.. chadwick's Hanging Story.

Mr.. Chadwick, who is well known as
an after dinner speaker, said that he was
reminded of hanging scene in a new
state. A murderer was about to be
"swung of" when horseman dashed
up. His steed was covered with foam,
and he had every appearance of bearing
an important message. Springing up
the steps of the platform, he announced
that if the person who occupied it would
resign his place for moment in favor
of himself he would like to say few
words.
The trembling wretch under the moose
was glad of moments respite, and the
horseman proceeded to tell the audience
about some new lands in the vicinity,

A clock is to be seen at Brussels which
comes as near to being perpetual mo-
tion machine as is likely ever to be In
vented; for the sun does the winding.
A shaft exposed to the solar rays
causes an up draft of air, which sets a
fan in motion. The fan acts upon a
mechanism which raises the weight OF
the clock until it reaches the top, and
then puts brake on the fan till the
weight has gone down a little, when the
fan is again liberated, and proceeds to
act as before

wear out, the clock will keep going

Declara ton of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition of our coun
try imperatively demands unity of action on
tho part of the laboring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
Cples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, en-.
uOuraging the toiling masses leading them
in the road to prosperity, and providing n
Just and fair remuneration for labor, a just
exchange for our commodities, and the best
means Of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount or good; we hold 10 the
principle that al monopolies are dangerous
to the best interests Of our country, tending
TO enslave FREQ people and subvert and
finally overthrow the great principles pur-
chased by the fathers Of American liberty.
We therefore adopt the following as our
declaration Of principles:
!. To labor for tn, educ ,tion of the agricul-
tlra classes in the science of economical
government, in a strictly nonpartisan spirit
and bring about more perfect union OF said
classes.
3 That we demlnd equal rights to all, and
special fayors to none.
.. To endorse the motto: ''In all things
essential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop a better state mentally,
morally socially and financially.
10 constantly strive 10 secure ent1re hat-
mony and good will TO all mankind and
brotherly love among ourselves.
g. To suppress personal, local, sectional
end national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry
and all selfish ambition.
= The brightest jewels which it garners,
are the tears of the widows and orphans, and
It's imperative commands are to visit the
homes where lacerated hearts are bleeding:
TO ossuage the suffering of a brother or
sister; bury the dead, care for the widows
and educate the orphans; to exercise charity
towards all offenders: to construe words and
DEEDS IN their most favorably lighr, granting
honesty of purpose and good intentions to
others and to protect the principles of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union until
DEATH Its laws are reason and equity; its
cardinal doctrines inspire purity of thought
ana life, its intention ia: ION earth, peace
and good will to man."

The Triple Alliance.

PARIS, Nov. 2s 2s-According to trust
worthy information, by the terms OF
the alliance binding Italy to her Ger
man and Austrian neighbors in the
event of a conflict between France and
Germany. Italy would be compelled
to mobilize 200, 600 men without delay
in the Alps, to mobilize her fleets to
make a naval demonstration off Corsica
and to lombard the Algerian sea-
board. In case of war breaking out
between France and Italy, Germany
would mobilize the eighth, fourteenth
and fifteenth army corps of Alsace and
Baden, and hurl them into the Vosges.
The engagements binding Austria and
Italy are less precise and of wholly
diplomatic nature. The Austrian fleet
would only go to the assistance of Italy
if the status quo were disturbed in the
Mediterranean.

IMPORTANT CHANGES.

The Post Ohice Department Considering
an Extension of the Money Order Sys-
tenn.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-At meeting
of post office inspectors held here the
subject of money order and register
systems were discussed at length. II
the recommendations made to the
postmaster-general and the legislation
asked of congress is granted, it is be-
lieved that there will be some radical
changes in the methods of conducting
postal business in the United States.
Some very marked changes are recon-
mended in the working in the money
order system. These contemplate the
issuing of money orders for any amount
upon all frst-class offices; a maximum
order of $500 in second-class offices, $500
in third-class offices and 500 in fourth.
class offices. For money orders of $50
or less-those which the working classes
use-a reduction in the fee will be rec
commended to a figure two or three
cents less than that now charged by
express companies for the same amount
Another important change recon-
mended will be to keep money-order
offices open a certain number of nights
a week to an hour later than $3.50. In
the registry business it is proposed to
change the present method OF dispatch
ing registered letters from post offices
by substituting linen-lined envelope
with a 12-cent stamp upon it for this
special purpose. Instructions will be
printed on the envelope and they can
be mailed at any letter box without
necessitating the sender going in per-
son to the post Office, as is now required
by the postal regulations.

LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Since Secretary
Rusk reported in favor of excluding
English live stock from the United
States unless the restrictions on
the landing of American cattle
at British ports should be re-
moved, British farming societies
have actively discussed the subject
The balance of opinion among
live stock dealers distinctly supports
the attitude of Chairman Chaplin, of
the board of agriculture, on the subject
Farmers journals are giving prom
iuence to announcements of recent
outbreaks in New Jersey with view
to enforcing the argument that
before the United States govern
ment can legally claim admission
for American cattle it must satisfy the
British government that pleuro-
pneumonia is so extirpated that no
cases have occurred in twelve months
in any part of the union. 1t is con-
tended that if Secretary Rusk's in
tended prohibition is effected no
country will suffer so much from the
absence of pure bred British live stock
as the United States
