Backward, Turn Backward.

The following pitiful wall is cred
tied to a Republican. editor, and
respectfully referred to his com
rades in the consomme:
Backward, turn backward, o
time in your fight, give us a victory
just for to night; wipe from our
features the torrent of tears, back
ward, roll backward, o tide of years;
turn back the clock till it reads '88,
blot out the present unmerciful fate;
give us some hope for this nations
concerns, change the returns, mister,
change the returns. Backward flow
backward, o stream of the age, sea-
soned to night with Republican
rage; blot from our vision stuffed
prophets and crow, choke off Dem
ocracy's bluster and blow; jerk from
despair a few fragments of hope,
keep good eye as we roll down
the slope; never mind now-it's too
late-what a scoopl Bring us the
soup, mister, bring us the soup"

An Essar on Pants.

A boy in Wichita (Kan.) school
has been suspended for reading the
following essay on "pants:" "Pants
are made for man and not man for
pants. Women are made for men
and not pants. When a man pants
for woman or woman pants for
man they are a pair of pants.
Such pants don't last. Pants ara.
like molasses = thinner in hot
weather and thicker in cold. The
man in the moon changes his pants
during an eclipse. Men are often
mistaken in pants. Such mistakes
make breeches of promise. There
has been much discussion as to
whether pants aresingular or plural.
Seems to me that when men wear
pants they are plural and when
they don't wear any it is singular
Men get on a tear in their pants
and it is all right, but when the
pants get on tear It Is all wrong.D

GETTING SQUARE.
How a Circus Attendant Got Even wits
Cranky Skeleton.

How n Circus Attendant Got Even wits \
Cranky Skeleton.
The general public is not acquaint-
ed with the manner in which some
employees are hired for circus.
Some of the situations in the "side
show" are irksome, and in order to
retain the right man in a place he is
hired with what is called ''hold
back"-that is, he is to receive, for
instance, fifty dollars month sal
airy, but gets only fifteen dollars a
month, the other thirty-fve dollars
being retained until the close of the
circus season, when it is always paid
to MIN in lump.
Messrs. Hagar and Henshaw, the
managers of the "side show" of the
Barnum circus, have always had con-
siderable difficulty in getting man
to stay the season out and take care
of the living skeleton, owing to the
general ''cussedness" of all such
''freaks." In the case of the skele-
ton he had to be carried to and from
every performance, to meals, ETC., in
storm, rain and hot weather, and the
attendant was compelled to bear all
the grumblings and complaints of
the skeleton with the added phases
of i'll temper and abuse.
Ono season when the show closed
and the attendant of the skeleton had
received all the money due him for
tho seasons work, including his
''hold back, " he felt as if he would
like to square accounts with the skel-
etolL; SO, after the last performance,
taking the skeleton in his arms, he
carried him, not to the sleeping car,
but away off in tie fields, and plac-
ing him beside fence left him there
with the remark: ''Therei You have
abused me all summer, and now, darn
you, I'll get square. You can stay
where you are until come for you
next season."
After an hour or two the skeleton
was missed, and all hands were sent
in search for him, when at o'clock
in the morning he was found lying
in the wet grass chilled to the mar
row, as it was an easy thing TO chill
him to the bone. owing to the abb
sence of fesh.-New York Tribune.

Men and Their Ideals.

Tho notion that men have their
own worth, says George Mcdonald,
and of claims founded thereon, is
amazing; most amazing of all is
what man will set up to himself
as the standard of the woman he
will marry. That the woman may
have a right to claim never enters
his thought. He mover doubts the
right or righteousness of aspiring
to wed a woman between whose
nature and his lies a gulf, wide as
between an angel praising God and
a devil taking refuge from him in
swine. Never a shadow of com
punction crosses the leprous soul as
he stretches forth his arms to enfold
the clean woman. All, white dove,
thou must lie for while among
the pots! If only thy mother be
notmore to blame than the wretch
that but acts after his kind. He
does not die OF selt-loathlngi How
then, could he imagine the horror
of disgust with which a glimpse of
him, such as he is, would blast the
soul of the woman2 Yet has he
what is it, the virtue, the pride, or
the cruel insolence2 to shrink with
rudest adherence from one who is,
in nature aud history and ruin, his
fitting and proper mattel To see
only how a man will be content to
be himself what he scorns another
for being, might well be enough to
send any one crying to the God
there may be to come between him
and himself. Lord, what turning
of things up side down there will
be one dayl What a settling of
lasts first and frsts last.

Farragut's Battles.


Many circumstances combine to
make Farragut's engagements note
worthy. All three were battles of
ships against forts and under the
most embarrassing conditions of
narrow channel and adverse current,
heightened at length by the first eff
fective employment of torpedoes in
war. They marked the termination
of the era of wooden walls, cast iron
guns and smooth bores. The little
ironclads did not have the entire
approval of the admiral. 1t was
hardly to be expected that he should
have respected such nondescripts as
the monitors very highly, and he
fought his battles from the old stand
point of strong offenses rather than
of safe defense.
He was the last of the old school
commanders to fight an old style
battle, and a long line of gallant
captains are worthily closed in him.
No prejudices marked his action.
He took his modern ships past the
batteries of New Orleans and Port
Hudson because he had settled in
his own mind that under existing
old conditions ships had a good
chance against forts, but he waited
months before attacking Mobile in
order to let the ironclads arrive.

A Whale and Her Calf.


An old whaleman says that he
once saw a whale calf killed, and
has no desire to repeat the expert
ence. 1t was off the coast of Lower
California. A whale had been killed
and the boats were towing it toward
the ship, when the men caught
sight of large COW whale with her
calf, at the windward. The fourth
officer cast off from the tow and
went in pursuit. The boat soon
came mp with the. whale, but when
the harpooner was just ready to
strike, she became alarmed, and
taking her calf between her fins,
started with the speed of a race
horse in the direction of the dead
whale.
AS she nearcd it she slackened
speed, and the calf swan in her
wake. Presently the young one
seemed to get bewildered, rushing
from one whale to the other, and
soon it broke water right beside the
second mates boat.
all hands had been cautioned on
no account to injure it. as such a
proceeding would make the mother
furious; but an Indian, seeing the
creature so near could not withstand
the temptation. He seized a lance,
and the next minute the calf's life
blood spurted all over the boat. a
few minutes more, and the young
ster rolled over and died.
The officer was still Gliding the
Indian, when the mother whale was
seen approaching her offspring.
Slower and slower she swan. Then
she lay still, while culver after
quiver was seen running through
her body. In vain she tried to
make the little one suckIe. AT last,
in her despair, she placed her fiukes
under it and tossed it into the air.
1t sank and was seen no more.
ALI this time the men had sat mo-
tionless, watching the affecting
scene. Now they began to pull. 1t
was too late. After shooting out of
water her full length and falling
back again with a tremendous
splash, the mother made straight
for the second mates boat. The
officer shouted to his men to jump
for their lives. They obeycd, but the
mate and the Indian stood at their
posts.
The next instant the whale leap
ed out of the water and threw her
self straight across the boat. 1t was
shivered into pieces, and the two
men were instantly killed.
By this time the crews of other
boats were leaping into the sea, in
spite of their officers commands.
When the enraged creature broke
watern again, however, a lance
thrown by the bomb gun transfxed
her.
As she swan round and round in
he death furry she tried in vain to
reach the dead whale. Then she
rolled fin upward, and lay still.
The men cIambered into the boats
again, and no doubt all felt, like our
contributor, that one such spectacle
was enough for a lifetime.-Yo Youths
Companion.

Night

Come, though tear dimmed. thy dewy eyes
Lo, day is dead that did thee wrongi
Unveil again thy starry skies,
Deep drowned in garish light SO long;
Unveil again each silver star,
Nor fold about with clouds thy head,
For day indeed, that did but mar
Thy nightingale's sweet notes, is dead.
Come; fear not now the flaming sun
That all too long has scorched the sky:
His tyrant reign is dead and done;
Resume of right thy throne on high.
Bind. bind in orange bloom thy brow
And crown our blushing love with bliss.
Oh. give us thy good leave; till thou
Be near we are afraid to kiss.
Come swiftly; all to late the lapse
OF thine inconstant gliding moon;
On earth IL aught OF evil hnps
Il is not in the nights of June.
Come softly; hold thy healing hands
In deep, deep silence DER my brow;
No balmy breeze from southern lands
Is softer sandaled, Night, than thou.

At Set of SUN.

II we sit down at set of sun
And count the things that we have done,
And counting find
Ono self denying act, one word
That eased the heart Of him who heard.
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where 1t went,
But If through all the Iivelong day
We've eAsed no heart by yea or nay;
lf through II all
We've done no thing that we can trace
That brought the sunshine TO face:
No act, most small,
That helped n soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost.

EIGHT Thousand Destitute.

The committee sent out from Detroit
to investigate the condition of Gogehic
miners report as follows:
"As to the number OF persons who
will require aid until mining operations
are resumed, your committee obtained
the most exact information possible.
To this end thorough canvass was
made in the towns of Ironwood, and
Bessemer, in Gogebic county, and 1000
have reported in the former, and l,5OO
in the latter city. To this must be adj
ded 600 in the town of Wakefield, max
ing grand total of G,l00 persons to
whom aid should be extended at once.
In the towns of Iron Mountai and
Norway, in Dickinson county, q slightly
better condition OF affairs exists, and q
small amount yet remains in the public
funds unex ,ended, bat after careful
canvass it is learned 2000 persons are
now dependent in part and will be who'll
" dependent upon charity within the
near future.
The number of people whom outside
aid must sustain through the winter is
therefore upward of 5000. No other
districts save those of Gogebic and
| Dickinson counties are included in our
rerort for relief, for after conference
with the authorizes at Ishpeming, Mar
quette and elsewhere in the copper re-
oions we we're assured that while priva-
tion is somewhat greater than ever be-
fore the local organization will endeavor
to cope with it and without outside aid,
recognizing the greater needs OF tneir
neiphbors in the ranges mentioned.

in such straitened circumstances while
those in Marquette are not cnly not ask
ing aid hut are even sending supplies 70
GOgehic The reason 10 plain. IL is
the curse OF royalties. Most if not all
of the Marquctte mines own the fee in
the lands which they work After using
all economical methods for mining the
ore they are not obliged to pay royal
ty of from thirty-fve to fifty cents per
ton, either of which amounts would be
considered living profit ut the present
time. During the flush times money
was made while paying such royalties
There has got to be new deal about
this. Hereafter no one should offer to
pay royalties. Owners of the fee in
mining lands should put in their lands
in a company for it's estimated value in
stock and adyentruers should furnish
the working capital. Had the compan-
les been owners of the fee, il is
not likely that to-day would he the

them from starvation and freezing.
