The Rock-a-By Lady.

Eugene Field, IN Chicago Record
The Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street
Comes stealing; comes creepingl
The poppies they hung from her head TO her
feet
And each has a dream that is tiny and fleet
She bringeth her peoples to you, my sweet
When she tindcth you sleeping
There is one little dream of beautiful drum
"Rub-a-dub" it goeth
There is one little dream of a big Sugar-plum
And, 10 thick and fast the other dream come
OF popguns that bang and tintops that hum
And a trumpet that bloweth,
And dollies peep out of those wee little
dreams
With laughter and singing:
And boats go a floating on silYery streams
And the stars peek-a boo with their own misty
CLEANS,
And up, up and up, where the Mother Moon
beams
The fairies go winging
Would you dream all these dreams that are
tiny and fleet?
They'll come to you sleeping;
So shut the two eyes that are weary, my
sweet
For the Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street.
With poppie that hang from her head to her
feet,
Comes stealing; comes creeping

Charles Keene's Anecdotes.

The anecdotes of Charles Keene, the IA
nous Punch artist, picked up on his own ac
count, are so crisp and fresh, says the London
Athenaum, that to quote them is enough to
indicate the character of the discoverer
Thus he wrote:
Got a story to-day of British farmer on
board a steamer, suffering good deal
from the rolling, saying to a friend, This
captn don't understand his business. Dang
it, why don't he keep in the furrows?" And
again: Il heard a story of a (well-brought up)
child, who was seen to secretly purloin and
pocket an orange from the laid-out dinner
table, but was afterwards seen to enter the
empty room, and secretly again return it to
the dish and triumphantly eXclaim: Sold
again, Satanl" And "A story last night of
an Aberdonian, who. making q morning call
was asked il he 'wud TAX a dram He soberly
declined Twas too airly the day; besides,
he had a gill already"
Proctor-Well, it's only a step from the
sublime to the ridiculous.
Lenox-Ah, if it were only step hack
again.-Vogue

A Worlds Parliament of Religions is
among the international congresses to be
held at the worlds fair next month. tits
expected that the parliament" will be
a ttended by learned men of every faith in
the civilized world, and probably also by
some fetch worshipers from among the
uncivilized races,
The gathering will be notable as mark
ing the arrival of an era in which church
men of all denominations may meet
together without the risk of one sect
exerting itself to boil followers of an
other sect in a cauldron of oil. But be-
You'd that, what2
There is not the remotest possibility of
universal religion growing out of the
meeting. Some such idea has been sug-
gested; but having in mind the recent
notable failure of one of the evangelical
churches of America to keep it's own par
ticular adherents in harmony, and noting
also the numerous but less administrative
discord in other American churches, it
will be readily perceived that we have
not yet reached that age of agreement in
all things that is called the millennium
When universal republic has
been achieved, then we shall need a uni
versal religion; at that time, probably,
such religion will have been perfected
through the process of evolution. But
the time appears yet long way of.
BY what process could a universal re
ligion be evolved from the crecds to be
represented at the Chicago parliament Of
religionsl BY cancellation; by striking
out common factors, as Is done in arith-
metical problemsl In case that process
should be adopted-and it seems it would
be likely to give as good results as any
other at present in sight-there would
not be enough left to form basis for a
universal religion that anybody would ac-

The Italian minister at Washington
has advised some three hundred of his
countrymen. whowere depositors in GER
tain suspended banks in Colorado, that
he has taken steps to procure their money
for them in advance of payments to
American depositors in the banks. There
are, he says, treaty and commercial reg
ulations existing between this country
and Italy that viii compel the banks to
pay their italian depositors as soon as
the matter can be brought to the proper
authorities. Non-payment by the banks
would unnecessarily detain subjects of
the King of Italy in this country against
their will and to the detriment of their
business interests"

In the oil district of Ohio the checks of
the Standard Oil Company have hereto
fore passed as currency 1t has been the
custom of the company to pay it's en-
ployes in checks and some of these bits of
paper, it is said, have changed hands so
frequently as to be almost worn out when
received. at the bank upon which they
were drawn. However, even the great
oil monopoly has been caught in the cur
rency pinch; its checks have been and are
being refused at the banks, hence their
availability as circulating medium is

There are some republicans in congress
who cannot conceive that there are public
questions that rise above party politics
To judge from the speech of Mr.. eros
venor, of Ohio, in the House on Tuesday.
he sees nothing in the situation but an CD
portunity to make campaign material for
his party by perversion of certain facts
and a total disregard of other facts.
His charge that the President descended
to craftsmanship in his message is baseIess.
unless he acknowledges that the legislation
the President condemns is Ubiquitous and
that the Republican party is wholly re-
sponsible therefor. The attitude assumed
by Messrs Reed, Grosvenor and Cannon
make it plain that whatever relief is af-
torded the country through legislation
will be without the aid Of the republican
leaders. There are in congress, however.
some republicans who will not follow
these leaders in their efforts to embarrass
the majority.

An incident illustrating the beauty Of
sublime faith occurred in New York day
or two ago. Mrs. Bradley, a devout Cath
olic, had carried a relic of ST. Lawrence
suspended from a cord around her neck
for years. Usually the relic covered a
part Of her right breast. On Saturday.
Mrs. Bradley says, she was inspired to
change the relic to the left breast, and on
Sunday morning had occasion to go down
TO the cellar, where a Siberian blood
hound, belonging to neighbor, was
chained. The dog sprang upon her, and
fastened his teeth in the relic of St. Law
renee. Were it not there the dogs fangs
would have entered her flesh. Mrs.
Bradley is convinced that her inspiration
came from the relic itself

Senator Sherman is probably, at the
present time, the most conspicuous man
in the country. Wherever silver is dis
cussed-and where is it not discussed? p
the senator, whose name is borne by the
purchase act, comes in for more or less
criticism or commentator. Even in the
Senate chamber he is an object of particu-
lar and peculiar attention. 1t is said that
whenever reference to the Sherman law
is about to be made the senator speaking
will make long pause, glance towards
the senior senator from Ohio in uepre-
eating sort of way and intone, the so
called Sherman act in a manner that
makes it doubtful whether he is afraid Of
hurting the senator feelings orwishes to
make him tired of his own name.

This is, indeed, great comtry-all
patriotic Americans think it the greatest

not quite as great as Mr.. Blanchard, of

country and establish a currency
of its own, which would be recognized
nowhere except in its own territory.
