Sad Sequel to a Romance.

In the shops of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton railroad at Hamilton,
o., is cracked locomotive bell that has
history. 1t was attached 10 locomo-
tive that was presided over by strong,
manly, handsome engineer, whose great
objects of pride and alteration were first
his sweetheart and then his faithful en-
CINE. He loved them both devoutly,
though, of course, in quite different
ways. One day at Hamilton he stood in
the cab of the engine, bell rope in hand,
ready to move the lever and start the
train, when he saw bridal party APP
preaching. He glanced at the bride; it
was the girl he loved. His heart stopped
beating, he gave groan and dropped
dead AS he fell with the bell rope in
his hand, he gave the bell loud ring
that cracked it from top to bottom. and
1t was found afterwards that he had died
literally from broken heart. The bell
in the shop at Hamilton is still called

Notwithstanding the ouestionablenes

Notwithstanding the questionableness
of the impeachment proceedings insti
tuted by the last legislature against
Judge Botkin, since the action was or
dered and the trial begun it has behooved
the senate, as a court of impeachment,
to proceed with the trial in dignified
and orderly manner, and not attempt to
break it down by bringing ridicule upon
the case, and in doing so compromise its
body and the administration in the esti-
nation of the people of the state. 1t is
too serious a matter to be trifled with,
and the senate at court did the proper
thing in adopting stringent measures for
the government of its proceedings.

The New Orleans grand jury failed to
indict any one as having participated in
the prison massacre in that city, they
finding that the entire population either
actually participated in the killing or
heartily sympathized with those who did

the Italian government having dismissed
it. the affair may be regarded as finally
at an end. But the Statutory effects of
the lesson taught by the occurrence will
be lasting and beneficial, not only to our

countries, in that it will diSabuse their
minds of the latitude of personal liberty

This farmer put on Jugs
And his visage brown took on frown
AS he thought of potato-bugs;
His beet-root neckt:e in its play
Bespoke pride like Cato's.

Thought he. 1T is in potatoes"
His eye roamed DER his Id-gioved hand
In III bis fists weren't horny
And iaered then on two stout men,
la n hoeing ike a Pawnee
To put III his potato crop:
And as be walked observing
Their work, he'd give little hop,
For ali tie world like Irving.
He stroked his gray imperial
And thought OF the Alliance,
And then he bid-indeed lie did
Potato bugs defiance,

Is there who deity mingies

The prospective flood in the Rio Grande
from the melting snow in the mountains
of Colorado ought to be an augury for a
good volume OF water in the Arkansas
river from the same source. And but for
the immense quantities of water drawn
out through the irrigating bitches in
eastern Colorado and western Kansas
there would probably be flood in the
Arkansas. As it is the volume of water
is unusually large for the season.
