For the Eagle.
PRUDENCE.

He was of heaven as the angels made him,
OF earth. from humanity's jars,
Bold and suave as a prince from the South.
land,
And his eyes were like evening stars.
He .iwelt in haunted mou utain,
Where ghouls cast their shadows at night,
RoaIned over q sunny mesa
But the mountain was ever in sight.
Oft he stood on the snowy summit,
Far above the tailest pine,
Saw the Great Plains beyond and beneath
him,
Swimming green in the summer sunshine,
Like the waves Of limitless OCEAN,
Where man had never set sail:
Then his heart throbbed high with emotion,
But his valor would ever fail;
For the sun rises high in the heavens,
And Solano sweeps from the South.
And ne who sets s1il across the Great Desert,
Lies bieached at the canyons mouth.
Oh. many a mythical siren
Sings jus. over the glimnering waves!
So this. my sweet Indian princess,
Nay have lured many into their graves.
Then I'll bide me wi hin my cavern,
Far from the sea of fire,
Which engufs many wretched mortals-
Victims to mad hope and desire.
So he turned from the beryl-like breakers,
Took another TO his breast;
But his heart throbbed ever with longing
And a love that was unrest.

REPUBLICAN, LEAVlsN WORTH.

Leavenworth City and county are go
ing back on the Democratic party. The
county has been drifting towards Re
publicaniSln ever since the beginning of
the Populist era. The Times is kicking
because the papers of the state generally
fail to give the Republicans OF Leaven
worth county their due. In all reports
OF the general result it has been stated
that the Democrats carried everything
in that county, while as matter of fact
the Republicans elected the sheriff, the
register OF deeds and coroner aud tied
the Democrats on treasurer. Since the
adoption of the prohibitory law, editors
have been so in :he habit of placing
Leavenworth in the Democratic column,
that they keep up without stopping to
inquire as to the facts.

COLD COMFORT.

Who has not heard of extracting blood
from turnip? There will always be
somebody engaged in the attempt to do
these impossible things, but it takes Chi,
cago people to get encouragement out of
failure, or to draw pleasure from the
molten sea of adversity.
A late number of the Economist, re-
ferring TO the encouraging features of
the real estate market says: SIT may be
inter esting to note that one Of The large
brokers had a 100000 sale fall through
recently, while another has just missed
closing a $500, 900 purchase" 1t may be
consoiing to the mortgage ridden
investor iu Chicago dirt to know
that some one was reckless enough to
even think of investing the amounts
represented by these dazzling figures,
but the trivial circumstance of falling to
close the deals will certainly not boom
the confidence of outside readers. 1t
may be little old-fashioned and COM
monplace, but it looks from tins dis
tance as if this stupendous aggregation
of worlds fair investments, with mort
gage attachments. must be adjusted at
the captains office. just as it is done at
the less favored places of the earth.

one Result OF 1nceasant Din ON the streets
of the Freach Capital
Have you ever noticed how sonorous
and high-pitched are the tones of voice
of the average Partisan? asks corre-
spondent of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat- It is apparently impossible for
them to modulate it, and even when
they impart secrets to You they do so
in whisper SO loud that, like the so
called stage whisper. it reaches the
ear not only of the person to whom the
confidence is addressed but also of
hundreds of people besides. This is
attributable to the fact that Paris is
probably the noisiest city of the old
world, and that the people here are
obliged to talk and whisper in an ex-
ceptionally loud tone in order to make
themselves heard at all. The noises
are bewildering in their variety, and
the din is unceasing. To begin with,
the omnibus traffic of Paris is very
large, and the Paris omnibus is some
thing that must be seen and heard in
order to appreciate its ponderous size
and weight. 1t is very much as if one
of the big New York surface cars were
placed on ordinary wheels and pro-
vided with double row of seats on the
roof, with couple of ample stair
cases leading up thereto. Imagine this

ways that are still the rule and not the
exception in Partisan streets. Beside
the din made by these omnibuses and
their drivers, who seem to consider it
absolutely necessary to crack their
whips as loudly as possible at least ten
times in every minute, there are all
kinds of other atrocious noises to which
the police have hitherto affected to
turn 4 deaf ear. From early morning
until late at night the streets are par

species of trade, each of whom has his
own particular cry, and it is not TN un-
common thing for dozen of these
screamers to pass given point in one
hour, each yelling at the top of his
voice. There are the window-menders,
the umbrella tinkers. the knife-grinder
with his bell, the chairmenders with
their shrill brass horns, the beer and

more, and numerous other cries of the

long to enumerate here. The new pre-

In his autobiography the late Sir W.

dote: An Arab called his attention to

pyramid of Cheops, when he raised his
hand with fingers outspread an acute
singing note was heard, the sound

be true. As soon as l raised one of my

electric shock felt on trying to drink

When quite close to that feature I

that the sheik must have received the
equivalent. At any rate, he fell sense

moments passed before he rose suddenly

You would EXPECT to find more sense
