Her Glory Departed.

From the Philadelphia Record.
We can readily understand now why
the north pole has never been reached.
Professor Chandler, OF Boston, says that
it revolves about a circumference, with
thirty feet radius, 10 427 days; but it IS
to bs feared that he knows more than he
wishes to tell, and is only breaking the
news TO us gently. L would not sur
prise US to be told that the polar orbit
has radius of miles instead of feet, and
that the aurora borealis, which has 80
long been a mystery 10 scientists, is
really the reflection OF the poles gyra-
tons. But, above all else. what an
effect must this discovery have had upon

The Emporia Republican IN referring
to the inconsistency of the Alliance peo-
pie in this matter of uncalled for and
unparalleled abuse says:
The bitterness of these expressions
shows something more than reckless
spirit OF abuse. They indicate feeling
of impotent vindictiveness-such as the
small boy sometimes manifests after be-
ing soundly thrashed by an older one.
They have been humiliatingly whipped
by the Republicans, and their only salts
faction now is to call their conquerors
ugly names. 1t is of no consequence ex-
cept to show how hollow and hypocriti-
cal are the pretensions of these people
when they protest against the alleged
abusive methods of the Republicans.

by party of prospeetors in the Choctaw

rights in the nation. The exact location
of their find is known only TO them. The
miners have prospected a vein of gold
! bearing quartz until they are well satisfied
of its value. They were led to their final
discovery by find of placer gold in
stream. For years there has been more or
less improbable prospecting in the
mountains which cover the eastern
Choctaw country adjacent to the
Arkansas line. Since the days of the
earliest settlement there has been tradi-
tions of gold and silver mines somewhere
in the mountains north of the Red river
which were known to the Spaniards two
centuries ago. The story of these mines
has been repeated from time TO time since
the early settlement of this country. The
pioneers learned it from Indian traditions
1t has been believed by some and rejected
by many. There have been those who
have gone quietly into those mountains
and searched for what they believed were
onced rich mines of gold and silver.

THE MOOD OF THE NIGHT.

Gray clouds before the stars drift by.
AS heavy as half b-eathed sigh,
Great tear drops fall, and through the sky
There walls solemn anguished cry,
Miserere.
Low sobbing winds cry out their pain,
In hushed, uncertain voices; and again
A sudden rush of cloud looSed rain
Like tears: and then the winds refrain,
Miserere!
White stars flash through black abyss,
Swift vanishing: dark nakedness
OF writing trees in wretchedness;
And through them swells the winds distress
Miserere!

In 172s Samuel Higley, of Simsbury, and
Joseph Dewey, of Hebron. in Hartford
county, Conn. represented to the legisla-
ture that the said Higley had, with great
pains and cost found out and obtained a
curious art by which to convert, change or
transmute common iron into good steel
sufficient for any use, and was the first
that ever performed such an operation in
America"
Swank gives on the authority of Mr.
Charles j. Hoadly, librarian of the Con
necticut State library, certificate, signed
by Timothy Phelps and John Drake, black
smiths, which states that, in June, lT25,
Mr.. Higley obtained from the subscribers
several pieces of iron, so shaped that they
could be known again, and that a few
days later ''he brought the same pieces
which we let him have, and we proved
them and found them good steel, which
was the first steel that ever was made in
this country that we ever saw CIR heard Of"
A patent was granted Higley and Dewey
for ten years, provided 1.-The petitioners
improve the art to any good and reasona-
BILE perfection within two years from the
date of this act" They do not appear to
have done this, or to have continued the
business Of making steel.-W. E. Durfee

A hoop snake chased Architect Rufus B.
Van Iderstine down Orange mountain,
New Jersey, and he only escaped an awful
death by strategy.
Going to East Orange he saw what he
supposed was 12-foot section of fire hose
hanging over & rock high above the road.
On close inspection he saw it was a serpent
with a head like bulldog and tail that
ended with barbed singer half a foot
long.
Rufus took to his heels when he saw the
monster move down the rocks. He got
half mile start, but looking back at the
bend of the road he saw the snake grasp
its tail in its mouth. forming hoop that
swiftly rolled after him The hoop snake
came on with electric speed. When the
frightful creature was within a hundred
yards of him, Van Iderstine darted behind
a big oak. The hoop snake swerved, and
coming on in blind rage, drove his spear
like tail into the tree.
1t was trapped. Rufus hurried to
Orange for help to return and destroy the
monster. Two hours later half dozen
men with shotguns assembled the noun
tain. The hoop snake was gone. 1t had
pulled its tail out of the hollow, horny
singer, which was left buried in the tree.
1t was so deeply Undecided that only chips
from it's edges could be broken off
Poison from the singer was killing the
tree and its foliage was curled and with
cred when the hoop snake hunters first saw
it. An ugly green liquid dripped from the
hollow stinger like sap from a sugar tree
Spite and deadened the green 1t fell upon.
