THE OLD 0AKEN BUCKET,

How dear to this heart the scenes Of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view
The orchard the meadow, the deep-tanged wildwood
And every loved spot which my infancy knew
The widespreadng pond and the mill which stood By it,
The bridge, and the rock where the cataract fell
The cot Of my father, the dairy house nigh it.
And cen the rude bucket which hung in the well
The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket,
sit, The covered bucket which hung in the we'll
That covered vessel | hail as a treasure
s Foroften, at noon, when returned from the field,
II found it the source of an exquisite pleasure
The pdrest and sweetest that nature can yield. 49,.
How ardent seized it with hands that glowing,
And quick to the white pebbled bottom it fell;
Then soon, with the emblem of truth overfowng
And dripping with cooness, it from the well
The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket,
The moss-ooyered bucket arose from the WELL
How sweet from the green messy brim to receive it,
As poised on the curb ii inclined to my lips
Not full bushing goblet could tempt me to leave it,
Though filed with the nectar that Jupiter sips.
And now, far removed from thy loved situation
The tear ofregret will inrusivey swell,
AS fancy reverts to my fathers plantation,
And sighs for the bucket which hangs in the well
The old oaken bucket, the ron-b bound bucket,
The moss-covered bucket which hangs in the well.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

The new code touches up mu.
nlcipal affairs quite lively. In the
first place it defines The degrees of
corpt raliOns:
Cities are defined as places of
/ over 1000 Inhabitants, towns are
places OF 1000 and over 500, while
all places of 250 to 500 Inhabitants
are defined as villages. No place
of less than 250 population can be-
incorporated, and Incorporated
towns of less than 250 populations
must surrender their charters. Vii.
lagos are to have three aldermen,
towns five and cities nine. In the
last named case two aldermen are
to be elected from each ward, and
one from The ciiy-at.large.
The mayor and aldermen must
he able to read, write The English
language intelligenlly, to calculate
interest and must be freeholders,
paying taxes on not less than $500.
as shown by the assessment rolls.
The mayor votes on every question,
and has al additional vote in case
of tie. The elective officials are
The foregoing and the city marshal.
The others must be elected by The
board. They are the city clerk, who
must be an alderman, The cit tres.
!lrer, who may be one, the lax.col.
leclor and street commissioner.
The city marshal may hold The
commlssionership. A new board Of

Shal must be erected in every mu-

Severe Storm at Pittsburg.

A curious phenomenon in connection with
the deaths of the two negroes struck by light
ming in Highland Park Is that the foliage of
the tree under which they sought shelter was
photographed on the breast of one of the vic.
Tins. The men were killed instantly. When
the clothing was removed from CasselPs body
an astounding sight met the eyes of the under
taker. Across Cassell's broad breast was q pic
ture true to nature. The Drowned oak leaf of
Autumn was there. Twining among the foliage
were a number of ferns. These, too, with the
exception that they, like the oak leaves, were
brown, were as natural as their model. SO ex-
act were the leaves and ferns that even the
minutest vein was observable.
1t was 4:20 when the men were killed. At 8
o'clock In the evening the impressions began
to fade; slowly the dark brown gave way to q
purple color. After the fading process had
been working half-hour many of the leaves
were indistinct. An hour later the photograph
had entirely faded and only the purple coloring
remained.
There was another curious thing about Cas-
sell. When his trousers were removed his
lower limbs were found to have turned to an
ashen white. They kept this color. This is q
greater mystery than the Photographic freak.

| declared unconstitutional n by the Supreme
Court. A fair bill willshaye to DO presented in
order to secure passages assthe Democrats have
now no majority in thssSenate. The growth
of q public opinion opposeAto the gerrymander.
| ing evil receives a fresk illustration in the
action of the Court in declaring the law Of 1891
void. The decision affects the legislative ap.
| portionment, not touching the Congressional
apportionment, or the lawnrequiring the cleo
tion of Presidential electors by districts instead
of from the State at large; this latter has
already been declared constitutional.
| The Michigan gerrymander was ono of the
| worst specimens of those appointments by
which minority seeks to. keep itself in power
| no matter what the popular vote may be. The
| Democrats obtained control of the State Senate
| by trick. While the Republican Legislature
| was in session in 1891 a few Republican Sena-
| tors went to attend the Republican State Con-
| vention without securing pairs. When the
| Democrats found themselves in the majority
| in the Senate they at once unseated enough
Republican Senators and gave their seats to
Democrats to obtain Democratic majority.
| They then passed the district election law and
| the legislative apportionment law, which has
just been declared unconstitutional. In this
no attempt at an equal division was made &C.
cordng to population, for 40, 033 was allowed as
large representation MS o. 400. The basis for
the Senatorial apportonment was 65, 434 popu-
lation; but If County with S2,272 people could
be depended upon to 90 Democratic it was
given two Senators; while one adjoining, OF
equal population, but Republican, was allowed
only one. This rule applied throughout the
whole apportionment, Congressional as well as
Legislative
1t is claimed that Con. Edward s. Bragg
wants to be the next United States Senator
from Wisconsin. The General would much
prefer to make fight before the Con vention,
as there are many Democrats who do not favor
Bragg's candidacy, but who do not wish to
oppose him until after the Fall election. For
this reason, it is alleged, they are opposed to
having the State Convention nominate or in
dorse candidate for Senator. Bragg and his
friends know this, and they nave resolved to
make fight in the Convention, believing that
in case the Convention does not take action it
will nominate Bragg
Great interest was taken in the Guberna-
torial election in Alabama aug. Il owing to
the formidable opposition to the Democratic
party. After the defeat of Kolb for the Demo-
cratic nomination he sought the solid Repub-
lican, Alliance and negro vote, and made many
refused to be led away from the Democratic
party, and white Republicans and negroes all
over the State in great numbers openly voted
the straight Democratic ticket.
From the present outlook Jones, the Demo
cratic candidate, has carried the State by
$4,000. A noticeable feature in this election
was the activity displayed by the negroes for
the Democratic ticket at the polls.

Farm Hands Needed.

Owing to the large wheat crop which is now
being cut in the southern part of South Dakota,
there is panic among the farmers lest they be-
unable to harvest their wheat crops. It has
been estimated that from 200 to 400 laborsrs
are needed in each County in South Dakota
east of the Missouri River. This means about
10000 laborers are wanted.
