An elfin troop, with merry din,
A sprite and fay and hobgoblin
Whirl ever round in may rings
The fairy goose's outsprcad wings
But on, on, the darkness through
The fairy goose flies straight and true.
From north 10 south and east TO west,
The sandman is ever n welcome guest.
And wherever he goes in what far landS
The children smiling throw out their hands,

They murmur as lower he bends his head.

Rallied at the Speaker.

Doctor Hildreth, in his "Msnoirs OF
the Early Settlers of Ohio" devotes a
chapter to Abraham Whipple, of Rhode
Island. He was born in 1888, aud was
one of the frst to take q hand In the
Revolutionary War. In 1875 he was
elected representative to the Legislature
from the town Of Craustou. The advo-
Gates of the paper money system were
then in power, aud had chosen Othniei
Gorton, clumsy old man, for Speaker.
Gorton was In the habit Of keeping
large quid of tobacco in one side Of his
mouth, which pressed out one Of his
cheeks. Most of the debaters were on
the opposite side Of the hall from that
on which Commodore Whipple sat, and
the Speakers face was commonly turned
that way. Once, in the course of the
debate, Whipple had cogitated speech,
which he waited for an opportunity to
deliver. At last, out OF patience, he
rose and called: "Mr. Speaksri" The
Speaker, whose face was turned the other
way, did not hear him. He raised his
voice to its utmost: "Mr. Speaker"
Gorton started, and turning to the Com
modore, said: al hear YOU" There
upon Whipple began: ~ wish, Mr..
Speaker, you would shift your quid Of
tobacco from your starboard TO your lar.

The death OF jules Ferry, which occurred
on the 18th inst. removes French states
man who has held a foremost rank among
the public men Of his day.
Before NJ Jules Ferry became a leader in
his party he had been trained in three
schools uf inestmable value TO the future
politician. He had prNcticed law, he had
been journalist and he had passed year
in the lower House. This all happened be-
fore the Franco-G erman war and the es-
tablishment Of the third republic. During
these early DAYS of preparation he WAS
all intimate friend Of Gambetta. The
great tribune was in the habit Of inviting
his comrades to breakfast with him on sun
day In his modest rooms in the Rue Bona
parte, and on these occasions he would place
q sou on the table to go to the convive who
should first make bon mot. Jules Ferry
always went home not only with a good meal
in his stomach, but with several Of Gam
BETA coppers in his pocket. But Gambetta
always oyershadowed Ferry, and il was not
until after the sudden and premature death
OF the former that the latter doomed up as
his vertablc successor in the leadership OF
the Republican party.
NJ. Ferry, said recent writer, was the
controlling spirit of the whole Cabinet. He
not only directed the foreign affairs OF
France, but he had an eve to all that was
done by the Ministers. And, Furthermore,
he followed assiduously, either In the Cham
Der or Senate, the parliamentary debates.
II was n very rare thing not TO find NJ. Ferry
OH the Ministerial bench at the Luxembourg
or Paais Bourbon.
Born among the Vosages Mountains in
1892, NJ. Ferry seemed to have imbibed the
strength of oaks beechcs and frs that cover
their steep sides. He was tall and large,
with broad shoulders and the deep chest
which TyndalI holds Is necessary for success
In the struggle for life.
He was sometimes one OF President
CREWS party for II days shooting in the
forest OF Marty, near 2 ,ris, and flew 10 his
country home for air aud rest whenever he
could slip away from the Capital.
He was one Of the active opponents of the
empire, and was one Of the convicted in the
famous political trial Of the thirteen" In
1864. In 1869 he was elected to the Corps
Legislatif from the sixth CONSUMPTION OF the
Seine. He took his seat among the members
of the Left He voted against the detara-
ton of war with Prussia and at the reyolu-
ton of September, 1870 he was proclaimed q
member Of the Government OF the National
Defence.
When the Communal Instruction broke
out in October, 1870, Ferry risked his life to
suppress Il. He also displayed great energy
the insurgents Of January - 1871. When
elected a Representative Of the Department
of the Vosges In February, 1871, he resigned
as n member Of the Government of the De-
fence and also Administrator Of the Depart
ment OF tie Seize, although retaining the
latter Office Professionally until March Is Of
that wear.

MILLION DOLLARS INVOLVED.
Suit Brought Against the Pennsylvania
RaiIrOad Company.

A suit in ejcctment involving more than
1900, 600 worth Of property has been
brought against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company IN the common pleas court OF
Plttsburg, Pa, by II heirs, named Barbin,
of Columbia county.
The property the plaintiffs seek to recover
extends from Tenth to Eleventh streets on
Penn avenue, and is used by the railroad
company for Office buildings, car sheds and
tracks. The property formerly belonged to
ex-Congressman Sames s. Stevenson, who
died In 1881. In his will he bequeathed the
land to his daughter AMANDA with the pro-
vision that, in the event OF her death with
out living issue, il was TO 90 to the heirs Of
William Barbin, all old friend.
The daughter married and had three chill
dreu. Believing that they would outIive
their mother, they sold the property TO the
Pennsylvania company for 100000. A
short time la'er two OF the children died
aud the remaining son, becoming despond-
ent, committed suicide in New York hotel
in 1891. The mother died a few months
later. The Barbin heirs claim that, as Ste
venson's daughter survived her children, the
sa to the defendant company was Illegal,
and, under the provisions Of the will, the
property is rightfully theirs.

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS.
The Severe Winter Has Reduced the
Chances for Fine Crop.

From all the information that can be Sc
rcdiregarding the new wheat crop IN the
Western States it may be said that 1t is far
from cncour ging In Illinois the early
sown wheat is in fairly good condition, but
late sown wheat has been injured by the
severe winter. In North AMI South Dakota
and Minnesota the winter h cn long and
severe.
From Indiana the reports indicate fall
ing of in the condition of winter wheat. In
the nOrtncr1 and southern p irt Of the state
heavy rains that had prevailed in the latter
part OF February left the roots exposed to the
frost that followed, and it Is estimated that
with the most favorable conditions from
now on not more than half crop will be
harvested.
The western part OF Kansas reports the
plant In generally fair condition, but many
fields were not sown until January. and
some as late as February. The outlook In
Missouri for wheat has greatly improved
within the last two weeks. Indications are
promising, and the most trustworthy esti.
mates place the yield at 10 per cent

BAD FOR OYSTER FARMERS.
For Fifteen Year Oyster Beds Have
Not HCcn Taxed,

A singular discovery involving the loss of
about So, 900 in taxes TO the city of New

shown that nearly 100 acres OF oyster lands
In the territory annexed II years ago in East
Haven hsd been overlooked in the enumer.
alton OF the taxable property. Action will
he taken promptly to place the overlooked
territory on New Hayen's tax list.
Scores Of suits for back taxes are certain
to result. The total amount due the city
from the owners Of the oyster lands in taxes
is thought 10 be about $50 Coo. The value OF
the oyster farms is shown from the fact that
many Of them rent for $50 per acre year
