THE MILKMAID.

Oh. where are you going so early. he said;
Good luck go with you, my pretty maid;
To tell you my mind I'm half afraid.
But wish | were your sweetheart.
When the morning sun is shining low,
And the cocks in every farmyard crow,
I'll carry your pail
Ger hill and dale.
And I'll go with you a-milking.
I'm going a-milking, sir. says she,
Through the dew and across the lea,
You ne'er would even yourself to me,
Or take me for your sweetheart.
When the morning sun
Now give me your milking stool awhile
To carry il down TO yonder stile,
I'm wishing every step a mile
And myself your only sweetheart.
When the morning sun
Oh, here's the stile in under the tree,
And there's the path in the grass for me,
And thank you kindly, sir, says she.
And wish you better sweetheart.
When the morning sun
Now give me your milking pail says he,
And while we're going across the lea,
Pray reckon your masters cows TO me
Although I'm not your sweetheart.
When the morning sun
Two OF them red and two Of them white.
Two of them yellow and silky bright;
She told him her masters cows Alright,
Though he was not her sweetheart.
When the morning sun
She sat and MIXED in the morning sun.
And when her milking was over and done
She found him waiting. all as one,
AS if he were her sweetheart.
When the morning sun
He freely offered his heart and hand;
Now she has farm at her command,
And cows of her own to Craze the land
Success TO all true sweetheartsl
When the morning sun is shining low.
And the cocks in every farmyard crow,
I'll carry your pail
Ger hill and dale,
And I'll go with you a-milking.

A shifting Telephone.

There are some people who make queer
disposals of their telephones A well
known undertaken of this city has his
telephone on dumb waiter. He runs it
up to his room at night and can answer
it without getting up. In the daytime
he runs it out of sight after he has used
it, and when the people who are always
waiting to use his telephone for a
moment" drop in for that purpose he tells
them that they can use it if they can find
it.-Detroit Free Press.

A favorite way of serving bananas in New

pieces, dust them with powdered sugar, a
little lemon juice and bits of butter, and
bake them in the oven for twenty-five min

Europe Initiating America.

American manufacturing methods are
attracting more and more attention in
European industrial circles. In almost
every branch of industry in which we are
liable to foreign competition attempts are
being made by foreign manufacturers to
organize and conduct their establishments
on the same systems that are pursued in
this country and with similar appliances.

IN MEMORIAM.

The passing away Of such a woman as Mrs
ANN L. SMITH should be marked by more than
mere mention and cold announcement in the
press. A tribute TO her memory cannot be
heard by the dull, cold ear of death, but a
simple narration of who she was, what she did,
and how she lived may do good to the living and
impress some OF her sex now growing into
womanhood 70 initiate her example, emulate
her virtues and fill the void OF usefulness caused
by her death. She was reared in Savannah-a
Miss Harmon, member of worthy and re-
spected family century since-aud whose
name is still honored. Born seventy-five years
ago she has spent three-Quarters of a century in
this place, and this quiet Sabbath afternoon has
been laid to rest in the place where sleeps the
dust OF her loved ones who preceded her. For
the long years as child, maid. young wife,
mother, TO ripe old age when gathered to her
Father, her life has been just, pious philan-
thropic, full OF love and good works, eminently
consistent and useful Those who knew her in
early life. almost all, are gone to the spirit land.
Those who have known, loved aud appreciated
her for the last thirty years are few compared
| to the busy throng, who have come up to duties
and responsibilities of life since. For more than
| half century she was an active, earnest mem-
Der of the Savannah Baptist church. While
modest and unobtrusive, she was faithful in
| every good word and work. Her life was un-
| answerable argument in favor of the power OF
| religious faith to make all better and more use
| full. During the late war between the states,
she was not only true southern woman, but
an angel of mercy, Her time, her means were
| spent in the hospitals Of the sick, wounied and
| dying confederate soldiers. Confederates and
their descendants should cherish and honor her
| memory as one of the noble women Of the
south who made every sacrifice possible and did
any duty for the lost cause. For years she was
| first directress of the Savannah Female Orphan
Asylum. How faithful and useful she was in
| this position, those who worked with her well
know, also the many orphan girls on whom sho
| impressed her own beautiful life. How many
| of these girls now, through her influence, good
useful women, rise up aud call her blessed.
During the epidemic of 1876 she refused to leave
the city and remained to nurse and care for those
| orphans. Attacked with the fever her recovery
was almost a miracle, but she was spared for
many years more to continue her work of piety
| charity and blessing to humanity. The record
of long well-spent life Is eminently instructive
| to the living. May her children. relatives and
| friends find comfort and incentive in the con-
temptation of it. Its lessons might reach us ALL

He Wants a Petition Gotten Up In the
Interest of Steve Ryan.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 15.-Larry CAN'T,
ex-editor of the Southern Alliance Farmer,
who has gained some notoriety on account
of the versatility of his politics, and who
has announced his candidacy for congress
In the Eighth district, exhibits himself in a
new role to-day.
Editor CAN'T has addressed printed cir
cular to the alliancemen Of Georgia, calling
on them to sign petition conforming the
imprisonment of stephen A. Ryan, who is
In Fulton county Jail for contempt Of court,
and demanding his release by Gov. Northern
The following is the text Of Editor Gantts
letters:
There now languishes in the Fulton county
jail Stephen A. Ryan, young man whose
only crime is that he has not the means to pay
the debts demanded by the courts. Mr. Ryan
is victim of that barbarous and brutal law we
thought wiped from the statute books of the
state OF Georgia, imprisonment for debt. His
fate to-day may be your fate tomorrow.
Stephen Ryan is the first martyr but unless the
people rise IN their majesty and place the brand
OF condemnation upon this ruling of our courts
of law, a felons cell awaits every debtor in
Georgia. Now, 1 call upon every free born
Georgian, who is opposed to the re-enactmenI
OF this outrageous law, to at once sign and send
a petition to Gov. Northen expressing their con
demnation OF this ruling by our courts, and
asking that he at once release Mr.. Ryan from
prison, as our governor is the only power that
can now save him. Lose no time brethren, in
signing your petitions Forward them to me al
Watkinsville. Ga, aud they will be promptly
presented. Remember that you are not doing
this for Steve Ryan, but to rebuke dreadful
precedent that is forging letters for the thou
sands of poor debtors in Georgia for whom oul
jails are gaping unless they get relief Ac
promptly, for the petitions should be in BY
March /. Gall your alliance together and gel
TO the petition every signature you can.
In commenting on the matter to-day the
governor said it was a case with which he
had nothing to do. 1t was merely a persona
matter between Mr.. Ryan and the court. MIR
CAN'T counts on 100000 signatures to the
petition and thinks the governor will be
afraid to refuse interference on account O

to be benefited 10 his own campaign by hi

Gotham's Typhus Cases.

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. - Seven more
cases Of typhus fever were found this
afternoon in the United Hebrew Chari-
ties lodging house. No. 40 East Twelfth
street. They were Russian Hebrews who
arrived on the steamer Massilla, and were
transferred to North Brothers Island. Cases
OF typhus, which are traced directly to this
lot of immigrants, have been reported
from half a dozen points outside OF
this city. The steamship companies
are becoming alarmed and the North Ger
man Lloyds have instructed their Euro
pean agents to refuse passage to any more
Russian immigrants. 1t is probable that the
other companies will take similar action.
The cost of supporting large bodies of emf
grants in quarantine would kill the profits
from the immigrant traffic. There are now
due at this port large number Of steam
ships and on them are many immigrants
from various ports in Russia. All of these
Russians will be held on Hoffman's Island
for a week or ten days.
