Sam j ONE ON Politics.

Texas is a whole in politics. but
a minnow in religion. You've got
two sets Of Democrats, Republicans,
prohibitionists, woman's rights, Third
party fellows and then the Alliance.
You Alliance fellows! Built that
big house over yonder-a monument
that will live forever. Going to
come to town and run business for
yourself. Just as soon as you can
borrow money from the government
at 2 per cent you are going 70 fill
your house and start up. I like you
Alliance t~ellers; you are good fellers
and maybe you'll get to Heaven, but
yon won't get to Washington. Wash.
ing amt on the way to Eeaven, no,
how. Every time the Democrats and
Republicans act the rascal yon act
the fool. and the fool always gets
left. You are good fellow, bu. you
haven't got much sense. The way
for you to win your fight is with your
strong arms and hard muscles in this
rich, black land. The government
amt going lend you any money
the government wants to borry some
itself. You needn't laugh. Thank
God,I amt got any for you red.nose

an old Democrat say; II would

MANS Love.

When Woman's eye grows duh,
And her cheek paleth;
When fades the beautiful.
Then mans love fadesh
He sits not beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the soft hair,
That DER her brow linger.
He comes but a moment in,
Though her eye lightenss
Though her cheek pale and thin,
Feverishly hrightens;
He. stays but q moment near,
When that flush fadnth,
Though true affections tear
Her long eyelash shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
meets at the very gate
Business and hustle,
He thinks not of her within,
Silently signing;
He forgets in that noisy din,
That she is dying.
And when her heart is still,
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill,
Wearied he turneth;
Soon Ger her buried head
Memory's light setteth /
And the true hearted dead,
Thus man forgetteth.

w OHnaER'g Love.

When man is waxing fraiI,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips are parched and pale,
And wan and white his cheek,
Oh, then doth woman prove,
Her constaney and love,
She stitch BY his chair.
And holds his feeble hand,
She watebeth ever there,
His wants to understand,
His yet unspoken will,
She hasteneth to fulfll.
She leads him when the moon,
Is bright Ger dale and hill,
And oil things, save the tune.
Of the honey bees, are still,
into the gardens bowers,
To stroll midst shubs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feed Oh breath and bloom,
She brings the roses rare
Into his darkened room,
And meath his weary head
The pillow smooth doth spread.
Until the hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,
She never wearieth,
She never leaveth him,
Still near him night and day
She meets his eye Away.
And when his trials DER,
And the turf is on his breast,
Deep in her besom's core,
Life's sorrows unexprest,
Her tears, her signs are weak,
Her settled grief to speak.
And though there may arise,
Balm for her spirits pain,
And though her saddened eyes,
May sometimes smile again,
Still, still she must regret
She never can forget

Peculiar Acoustic Qualities of This Vault

Peculiar Acoustic Qualities of This Vault
ed Stream.
One Of the famous curiositics of the
Mammoth ave is the Echo river, n body
of water estimated to be some three
fourths of n mile in length, and from
twenty to two hundred feet in breadth.
Its depth Mt ordinary times is from ten
to forty feet. DIR. ii. c.. uovcy, in n
paper read before the American Geo.
graphical society, gives n vivid dcscrip-
ton OF the peculiar acoustic qualities
OF the vault by which the river is
arched.
Last summer, in company with Il
party OF four persons, no others being
on the river at the time, we tried the
effect OF rocking h boat as violently
as we dared to do, also striking the sur
face of the water with our paddles, and
in other ways making as much agita-
ton of the body of the stream as posi-
bic, and then awaiting the result in
silence.
1 timed the concert thus created, and
found its duration to be exactly bali m
hour. First came sounds like the tink-
ling OF silver bells. Then larger and
heavier bells took up the melody rs tho
waves sought out the cavities in the
walls. Then it was as if all chimes OF
al c~athedrals had conspired to raise q
tempest of sweet sounds.
For n moment there was utter silence,
soon broken by low mutterings, ghostly
whispers, sudden shricks, as il of men
i n agony. Then silence again. We
were about to speak, when tho guide
motioned to us to remain quiet when,
10! rs from some deep recess, hitherto
forgotten, came n tone tender and pro.
found; after which, like gentle MEM
cries, oil the mellow and mysterious
sounds that had gone before were re-
awakened, until tho hall rang again

ANTI-OPIION BILL PASSED

The Anti Option bill which pnssed
the United States Senate by n vote OF
40 10 - last Tuesday, will doubtless
become Il law Of the land. The
gamblers in wheat, pork and other
farm products opposed the bill from
first 10 last, but the farmers advo-
Gated it throughout.
1t was shown that it had been the
custom with the produce gamblers TO
sell wheat and pork that they did not
own and had no idea OF dclivo ring
Frequently the sales amounted TO
more OF those products than could be
had III the markets, aud run the
chances OF depressing the price go
that Oh tho day Famed for delivery
the market price would he less than
at the time tho sale was made, when
the difference would be paid them in
cash. Those paper snles made IL APP
pear that the markets were glutied
with wheat and pork when such n
condition did not exist, and the con-
sequence vas n decline in the prices
OF those commodities in Liverpool
md other foreign markets which
received their supplies from the
United States.
Tho passage Of the Act will stop
gambling in what the gamblers 10
not own, in tho great wheat, corn
and pork ccntcrs ut tho West, where
the farmers produce is sold by srecu-
lutors before he tnkcs it TO market
and where sales OF "A million bushels
OF wheat or n thousand barrels OF
pork arc made upon delivery Of hall

AN EXCITED LOON.
How tho Distressed Mother Acted Over
IEnr N-n,--

How tile Distressed Mother Acted Over
Her Young.
hon. Lewis NJ. Lcllan, Of Gorham,
Me, while fishing for lal blocked
salmon in Scbago lake last May. was
surprised to sec u loon with her young
one near his canoe. The anxious moth
or was employing every artiDcc TO call
her child away, but the little one swam
so near tho fisher that he easily took
him aboard in his landing-net, and hold
ing him on one knee gently stroltcd his
downy coat, to the little fellows evil
dent satisfaction, says the Lewiston
Journal. Meanwhile the mother was
in ali agony of distress.
At first forgetting her native wild
ness and timidity in her mothers love,
she boldly approached the canoe, and
rising in the water till she appeared to
stand upon it, furiously tapped her
wings, uttcring menacing cries. Find
ing this of no avail, she pretended hat
she was wounded, rolling over in the
water, and finally lying still Us il dead,
evidently to attract attention to her
self and from her young one. The fish
crman, touched by these displays of
mothcrly affection, put the young loon
into the water. The distressed mother
instantly came to life and again tried
to cntice her little one to go with her,
but he liked his new acquaintance SO
we'll that he remained near the boat,
until the fisherman rapidly padded
away for n considerable distance, when
he waited to sec the outcome of this adj
venture. As he withdrew, the mother,
with cries of joy, van to the little one,
dived beneath him, and taking him on
her back quickly bore him to q safe dis.
tancc, when she stopped and seemed to
he talking to her truant child in very
different tones from the "wild, TRANCE
hoarsc laughter by day and the weird,
dolcful cry at night" which John Bur-
rouShs attributes to this bird. The
fisher says he never imagined the loon
could produce such soft, sweet, melodi-
Gus notes Us he then heard.
