ribbon of gold across the ages in the view
Of the stars, so old were they.
In their midst, no doubt, was the won
9erful star in the east, if key had been
wise enough to find it.
What a wonderful night it was for a
q. small guidon to be riding alone along a
Virginia crossroad, his pathway illumined
by the light of the moon, with the undi-
vided attention of more stars than he could
COUNT
And then the cedar hedge had been fired
that afternoon by a passing division Of
cavalry, and the flames running rampant
along the line Of march had offered miles
of cracking comfort to the hating troop
ers. The night air was aromatic with the
pungent odor of the roots of the cedar still
glowing in the smoldering turf. Now
and then a dry bush not heretofore reached
by the devouring flames, famed by the
wind, burst into burning and brought the
little Jewish boy on his galloping gray out
in high relief as he passed athWart the itful
flames.
How the light enveloped and caressed
him and caused the long shadows to dance
about and chase him on the frozen roadl
How it glinted on the visor Of keys cap,
and CLEANED on the crossedguns above, and
touched his fat nose with a merry, high
light, and was mirrored in the liquid eyes
of the horse; how it bronzed the Tapping
wings of the great turkey whose red head
was tied fast in the nosebag pendent from
the horses neck, its yellow feet dashed up
to the straps on either side, making the
little gray carry his head high and look as
if he bore the Tapping bird'of freedom on
his breast; how it brought out the scarlet
berries hanging on twigs from the cautle
of the saddle and the scarlet blanket IN
derneath, and the small boots swinging
free in the leather capped stirrups, and the
smiling mouth of the small rogue water
ing in anticipation of tomorrow's dinner!

business of his spread on the morrow, and

Necessity the Mother of Invention.

The increasing scarcity and consequent
high price of whalebone drove manu-
facturers and inventors to look around
for substitute. Of these there has been
several, but none of them have proven to
be as practical and efficient as feather
bone, and there seems to be a good
reason for this, for We learn that ali the
other substitutes that have been tried
have proved to be either impractica9le or
failed to have the combination of strength
and elasticity required for use in whips,
while feathebone, like whalebone. has all
the necessary qualities, aud is elastic
bone made under four distinct patents,
from one of the toughest and strongest
materials formed by nature, namely, the
large enamelled quilts OF the goose and
turkey. These heavy quilts are put on so
as to entirely surround and cover the
body of the whip and sustain the strain
of usage, so that the wonderful durability
of these whips Is due TO the "pure quill"
they contain, and the improved plan on
which they are constructed. and as they
are much cheaper than whalebone, whips,
they are growing in favor and popularity.

don news is the absorbing topic of dis
cussion, SO far as foreign affairs are con.
cerned. 1t is Intimated strongly that
should the American government attempt
retaliation against Canada, England will
withdraw the arbitration and meet any
issue the United States may choose to
raise in the Behring Sea with the plain
assertion of the right of English subjects
to hunt seal outside the recognized limit
of the United States jurisdiction. This
position is urged by many tories, and Is
said to be regarded without disfavor,
although as yet without open approval at
the foreign office. The tories are dcsper-
ate for an issue that will arouse jingoism
and rally the country to the support of
the government. There has been a nota
BILE disposition of late on the part of the
newspapers, commonly supposed to be in
the confidence of the government, to
foster the feeling of hostility to America,
and arouse the im mpression that the Amer
lcaDs are unfrieDdly to Great Britair.
With this object in view, ridiculous
communication has been written by an
American, and containing bombastlc me.
naces against EDgland. Even if these
letters arc genuine they would not be
published under ordinary circumstances
There is some reason, however, to believe
they have been written to order, as tories
regard the time favorable for an anti
American demonstration on account of
the irritation that exists among numbers
of the working people, who had their
wages reduced, or have been deprived CT
employment altogether on account OF the
Mckinley law. This feeling is especially y
strong In Wales and the manufacturing
districts. In naval quarters, while the
officers are reticent, unoficially, 1t is
stated the British squadron in the Pacific
can be depended upon to do its duty in
the event of any encounter with the
Americans.

sarah Althea Is Insane.

SAN FRANCILco, March 10-Mrs. Sarah
Althea Sharon-Terry was today examined
| by the commissioners of insanity and
formally committed to the state asylum
for the insane at Stockton, CAL.
Judge Levy held court in Judge Law
ler's courtroom, out even these large
quarters were crowded with spectators.
Mrs. Terry, however, did not seem sur
prised or nervous at the sight of so large
number of strange faces, but when the
case was opened she began weeping.
Nanny Pleasant, Mrs. Terry's coiored
nurse, was the first witness. She related
various incidents recently occurring to
indicate that Mrs. Terry was insane.
"She is constantly talking about spirits
and Judge Terry said Nanny Pleas
ant, land am afraid she may harm her :
self or Others" Mrs Terry here arose
and asked permission to question the
witness, which the court finally granted.
She then put long series of interroga-
tions to the witness, which covered her
doings from the time she left the Gull
breth residence until she finally left
Nanny Peasants house. To some
questions witness said:
"Don't let US talk about that"
"But want to-" responded Mrs. Terry !;
IL want TO show who has the best men,
Org. Why did you have me arrested"
she asked.
II did not say your mind was wrong"
responded Nanny Pleasant. 81 said
you were affected by spiritualism."
Mrs. Terry denied that she believed in
spiritualism, but said she believed in
electricity. She then wandered in her
questioning, and finally, in telling how
she treated Mrs. Parks, whom she did not
like, Mrs. Terry broke into hilarious
laughter.

first arrested and confined alone In, the
Jail at Huntington. sunday last he made
| his escape Some pal" on the outside
passed d revolver and small saw into his
cell. With the latter he neatly sawed in
two the bars of the paddock and was soon
at liberty. But a deputy sheriff CHANGED
| that way just as the prisoner was making
| tracks for freedom and collared him. The
| burglar pointed the gun in the officers

released him, but he was soon after fol-
lowed and recaptured at the point of a

Baker Democrat: Monday night mes
senger from Auburn arrived in the city
abOnt IL O'clock bringing the intelligence
that Mr.. 4. 5. Harrison, husband of Mrs.
5. Harrison, milliner of this city had been
found deau in his cabin and all evidences
showed that he had committed suicide by
shooting himself. The victim of his own
self-destruction is about 80 years of age
and for the past year has been developing
a quartz claim on Willow gulch, head of
Rich Flat, three miles from Auburn. ole
mile from where the Fore-Dell murder
occurred about one year ago. The unfor-
tunate man has long been a sufferer with
rheumatism and with his declining years,
with loneliness surrounding him and
other remembrances bringing vivid
mirror 10 his gaze, he evidently came to
the conclusion that life was hardly worth
living for and the best way out of it was
. to take his chances with the many who
have left before.
Statesman: The price of mutton now in
San Francisco is from two to five cents
pound higher Than beef. 1t is higher than
beef IN Chicago, and in Portland. In Sa-
lem it is the same price as beet, but the
butchers are said to not make as much
profit on it here as beef This is caused
by two things. First, by the scarcity of
mutton, due to the reduced number OF
sheep occasioned by hard winters, the
tariff thinkers, and for other reasons, among
them the eating out of the ranges. The
other reason for the high price of mutton
Is the fact the people have more generally
learned to like and 10 eat it, and no doubt
this appetite will grow with the improve
ment ofthe breeds and methods OF caring
for the sheep. The people of this section,
who are now raising more sheep tbaa
ever before, and better ones, should he
encouraged by these facts. The number
OF sheep in Fresno county, California, in
1850 was 10000 head. 1t is now less
than 100000. In Douglas county, in this
state, the number has decreased in the
same time
