THE SONGS MY MOTHER USED TO SING

There's many tone hath power to wake
Old memories in the heart:
There's many welI-remembered air
Can make the teardrops start;
The song of mirth brings back the hour
When the festal board was spread,
And the song Of love can bring sigh
To the lip when love has fled
And dear the gay and the tender strains
OF other days may be-
But the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to me- ~
I've heard the plowmans careless lay, t.@
Borne blithely on the gale: II
I've heard the merry hunters tune
Resound from hill and dale;
I've head the song the soldier sings {.
Beside the bright campfire,
Till his eye burns with fercer light,
And his martial pride leaps higher; -
And the sailors song when the sails are spread
And the winds are blowing free;
But the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to me.
I've heard the Alpine shepherds voice
Ring from the mountains height;
I've heard the cottage sopgs that cheer
The PEASANTS hearth at night y
I've heard the wandering minstrel meath
The olive and the vine;
And the blithe grape gatherer whose song
Flows smoothly with the Rhine;
And the gondolier, as his light oar dips
To the music of the sea, -
But the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to noe.
I've heard the stately anthem peal
Along the minister aisle, ..-.
I've heard the grand re Deum roll
Round the cathedral pile;
I've heard the slow and solemn chant
' Rise from the cloister dim,
And through the twilight, soft and low,
The nuns sweet vesper hymn;
And the songs of the worshipers beneath
No roof but the forest tree,--
But the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to me.
I've heard those airs the troubadour
Gave to the breeze afar,
And those the dark-eyed Spanish maid
r. Sang to her light guitar; -
And the strains that once thro' the highland hall
To the ancient harp hath rung,
And the strange wild melodies Of old
That Erin's bards have sung; r.
And my heart hath felt the lingering spell
OF the by-gone minstrelsy,-
Il Bnt the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to me-. p
The cradle song she used to sing ~
When the noise of the day was done,~
And she folded me close in her arms to rest,
Like the flowers at set of sun;
These have the strangest power to wake
Old memories in my heart; 80
And often when hear them flow,
The tears unbidden start, a..
+ And dearer far in other ears ..-..-
Some grander strain may be, t.s.
But the songs my mother used to sing
Are the sweetest songs to me.

Washington, Special Telegram,
Dee. 24.-The demands Of the
Tammany tiger, represented by
Iceman Turner, the new door
keeper of the house, are inexor-
able. Crippled soldiers and even
women who have as much as a
smell of Republicanism on their
garments are being kicked out
wherever found to make places for
Democratic peelers.
One of the worst cases of inius-
tice of this kind is in regard to a
Minnesota man. When Mark
Dunnel represented the First dis
trict he had L. Olson, of Winona,
appointed attendant at one Of the
gallery doors in the house. Olson
was an old soldier who had lost
both arms by an accidental dis
charge of a cannon in 1883, but
with the assistance of hooks fast
ened to his stumps, he was able to
discharge the duties of the place as
effectively as though he were not
disabled. When Capt. Harries
came here, he at once interested
himself in Olson's behalf. He
promised Olson that he should be
retained under the new doorkeeper,
and in good faith secured the
adoption by the Democratic caucus
of a resolution requesting the Of
ficer to continue him in the posi-
ton. All the same, the armless
man received, not long ago,
notice to quit because he is Re-
publican. Olson went at once to
Harries, who wrote a peppery let
ter to Doorkeeper Turner, demand
ing that. he obey the request of the
caucus. Olson took this letter to

| Poor Olson had noting to do
but pick up his belongings and
leave yesterday for his home in
Minnesota. In place Of Olson and
four other MANNED veterans
Turner has appointed bodied
men, not one of whom was in the
army. What makes it worse,
Capt. Harries did not ask any ap-
pointments Of Turner, and was
content if the crippled Olson could
!: remain undisturbed, but the First
district congressman was for Mills
in the fight for speaker, and was
not docile to the South and Tam
many wing now in control, and his
recommendation in Olson's case
was ignored. It will not be
, strange if the matter comes up
again, for Harries, though a
patient man, may fight when
crowded into a corner. -..

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

The proposed amendment to the CITY
charter by which the public works, fire
and police departments are to be CONSOLE
dated in one commission is based upon
the charter of Spokane. II is said to work
very well there, and it has many admirable
features. There is one objection to its ap-
phcation to the present condition of Se-
attic which the revision committee should
bear in mind. The charter provides that
no amendment to it should lessen the
term of any official holding offies
at the time the amendment goes
into effect. The fre commission

eessors are not elected, the remaining half

office and the members could be permitted
90 carry their titles with them till the end
of the term. There is nothing in the char
ter that prevents modification of their
duties. Much the same may be said of the
police commissioners, although they
would drop out At different intervals, but
they have no salaries and might also re-
tam their tales. Ii is entirely different
with the board of public works, however.

it ready for occupancy. The ladies in charge of
the affair have gone about the matter in a very
systematic manner, and have already secured a
number of paintings, art objects and curios,
which, when arranged in shape, will present a
most attractive exhibition. This department OF

LOST AIR-sHIP BUILDER.
A Marital Quarrel May Explain william
Aliens DiSappearance.

Aliens Disappearance.
William Curtis. of Ballard, has received an
other letter from the sister of William Allen,
the inventor OF the air-ship, who mysteriously
disappeared recently, making further inquiries
regarding his whereabouts. No Information
could be given her, as no more trace OF Allen s
movements can be found now than when he
hrst dropped out of sight
Allen is man of striking appearance, being
fully six feet high, physically well-developed
and broad-shouldered, has a long, heavy black
beard and mustache. sprinkled with gray, iron
gray hair and piercing black eyes One peculi-
arity he has is that in winter the backs OF his
hands, which are tanned q dark color, become
covered with white spots about the size OF
hali-dollar
Allen is not what is commonly called "a
crank inventor" might be supposed from his
hobby OF building an airship. for he does not
express any positiveness of the success OF his
machine, as would an inventor whose enthusi-
asm had run away with his Judgment He -
a well educated, level-headed, cool, calculating
man, who, II he has any gross vices, mas sue
oessfully concealed them during his two years
residence at Ballard. He came here without
money, but his persuasive manners and CONVEX
sation made him q valuable salesman for the
West Coast Improvement Company, and after
wards in a real estate Office OF his own he made
considerable money. He left no debts behind
when he disappeared and must have been sup
piled with cash.
The simple question seems TO be whether
. Alien has gone to South America, as he con-
fdentially told friend was his intention, or
has deliberately gone to some other part of the
country without leaving any trace behind him.
The one certain fact seems TO be that he has
not returned to his old home AZ LennoxviIle,
Quebec. In his moments of confidence he Inn
parted good deal of information about his
private affairs to his friends. He owns a fine
farm near Lennoxyille, within q stones throw
OF his fathers house, and there he lived until
about four years ago. At that time he entered
the service of the Canadian Pacific railroad at
Boniiace, on the Red river, opposite Winnipeg.
His wife refused TO stay there after they had re-
sided in that place for year. and returned to
the farm at Lennoxville. Allen became q trav-
cling agen. for the Canadian Pacific and then
wandered into Virginia. to Chicago, and finally
to Seattle. At first he kept up a regular cor
respondence with his wife, but he said that she
suddenly STOPPED writing to him. He would
not write to her until she had sent him a letter
and thus the correspondence ended and an
enlargement grew up. Allen professed to be
still deeply In love with his wife and only pride
and obstancy prevented his making the first adj
yances toward a reconciliation. Only the night
before he left Ballard, he told his friends that
he was going home and talked affectionately of
his family. II was therefore a surprise to his
friends to learn that he had not gone home.
