The lofty pine forests may murmur

the giant oaks rustic the story OF
to-day. They stretch out their

knowledge with You, and unravel
the mysteries of our mighty mon.

the gums, walnut and scores o1

from the subterranesn home of the

good. In the roar of her mighty
MYERS We hear the song Of power,
that says in words loud and clear
Come and use us for manufaetur-

return you q hundred fold. There
comes another voice, sweet and
soft as an Eolian harp; it's the
song of the soil, and in strains
mellow and clear it tells of the
fertile valleys where corn and cot
ton, peach and fig. have their
home; Of the charming uplands
where grains and grasses flourish,
and rosy-cheeked apples, pears
and plums revel in rich earth and
sunshine. The hills and mountain
tops swell the song of the vineyard
aud sparkling wines, and the re-
frain comes down the mountain
slopes and over the sparkling
brooks: Come, for all things are

President Cleveland has decided
upon line ofpolicy to be pursued
In the appointment Of Consuls
which il expected to materially ex-
panG the trade of the United Sta Sta es
with foreign countries. especially
With the South and Central Amer
can Republics His policy is to
selectmen for appointment to Con-
sulships who have exceptional
business qualifications and possess
sumcient trade instinct to recog-
nize an outlet for American mer.
chandise and the ability to aid in
working mp . market for the pro-
duet Of American manufactures
and farms. The President has
said that Of course political rea-
sons could not be entirely ignored
in the selection of Consuls, bat
that particular stress would be
laid upon the business abilities of
the men whose names were pre-
senied 10 him. Mr.. Cleveland has
indicated his determination of this
policy TO several Congressman
lately. and especially to one New
York member whose constituents
are interested in the increase of
the volume Of foreign trade. It's
understood, therefore, that for the
principal commercial ports and
centers Of trade, the selection of
Consnls will be based largely upon
their commercial fitne ss, and spo-
iitical reasons viii apply in 9th.

toona boarding houses and drew the
wrecked circus wagons and cars to
the Altoona shop and put 500 men
to repairing them. Then they kand-
ed the bewildered circus man $4,000
in cash. Tears of Joy came to the
poor mans eyes as he saw il in his
hand, and before they dried away
he was in the telegraph Office tel
egraphing to Mexico for spotted
ponies and to Chicago and New York
for more elephants. ostriches and
snakes. The circus men well enough
to travel took lassos into the woods
and lassoed a lion, after he leaped
on to an Alderney heifer, and cap
tured n bear. The balloons came
back when they got hungry. A
hyena was shot by the farmers, and
they pulled one lions head off before
he would move. One elephant was
under the wreck. He was still, and
and apparently dead, but when they
dug him out he raised himself up,
grunted, Tapped his ears, and went
to eating hay. The snakes squirmed
around in the wreck as if they
rather liked the change. The
camels acted like dummies They
were utterly discouraged and dis
gusted,
When / asked Mr.. Maine, as the
circus paraded by to-day, how he
felt. he said:
Pm Il happy man. always was

proposes to make an appropriation
of $4,000 to the Pennsylvania state
agricultural society, q private asso-
citation not under the control of the
commonwealth and organized for
profit" After quoting a veto mes
sage of Governor Beaver of a bill
involving the same principal, the
governor says: "This statement of
the case is in accordance with views
frequently expressed in regard to
similar appropriations by the pres
ent executive during this and his
former term. They need not be en-
larged or repeated. / regard all such
appropriations as at variance with
the letter and spirit of constitution,
and feel constrained to veto them
regardless of the worthiness of their
objects and my sympathies with the
purposes they are intended to
serve"
Another bill vetoed by the gov
ernor provided an appropriation to
aid the several counties in the con-
struction, improvement and main
tenanco of public roads and provid-
ed the manner of distribution there
of. These reasons are given for the
governors action "The present
condition of therevenues of the com
monwealth aud the increase in the
appropriations for public schools
render it doubtful whether the con-
dtion of the states finances would
warrant this unusual expenditure
for public roads.
