The Phenix.

The ancient tradition concerning the
phenix has introduced into nearly every
language the habit Of applying that name
to whatever is singular or uncommon
among its kind. According to ancient
writers, the phenix was bird of great
beauty about the size Of an eagle. A shin
ing and most beautiful crest adorned Its
head, its plumage contained nearly every
tint Of the rainbow, and its eyes sparkled
like diamonds. Only one Of these birds
could live at time, but its existence COW
cred period of 500 or 600 years. When
Its life drew to close, the bird built for
itself funeral pile Of wood and aromatic
spices, with its wings famed the pile into
Ilame and therein consumed itself. From
fits ashes worm was produced, out Of which
another phenix was formed, having all
the vigor of youth. The first care Of the
new phenix was to solemnize its parents
Obsequies. For that purpose it made
ball Of myrrh, frankincense and other
fragrant things. At Heliopolis, city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this tenn
pie the phenix would carry the fragrant
ball and burn it on the altar Of the sun as
hsacrifce. The priests then examined the
register and found that exactly 500 years,
Or exactly 600 years, had elapsed since
that same ceremony had taken place.

woMEN's WAYS.

Fair women's ways are all so strange,
They keep us ever guessing;
Our reasonings they disarrange
In manners most distressing,
For when we think they love US more
Than mortal Ger was loved before
Love us and love US only
They on some new found treasure smile
And gayly follow 1t the while
They leave us sad and lonely.
We bitter grow and straightway vow
To WOO again, no, never!
No more their kind we shall allow
Loves tender cords to sever.
We cease to sigh for them, and then
They sigh and coo soft words again
AS sweet as meads of clover,
And when their eyes upon US dwell
We pardon everything and tell
The same old story over.

Measuring the Stature.

A French review says that the correct

The subordinate courts have held thaI
a bicycle is vehicle Of transportation
and is entitled to half the public high
way against vehicles hauled by oxen OF

is very lame decision, and some one
should make test case by carrying 1t to
the supreme court, An individual rid
ing bicycle should have no right to te
public highway against team OF horses
The bicycle rider should be allowed nc
more privileges than the hand cart OF
ANYTHING of that nature. Persons driV.
ing teams should in no way be compellec
to look out for bicycle riders, nor shoulc
they be held responsible for any damage
that might occur for their being IN th'
highway. The bicycle should be subordl
nate to the teamster. We do not believ'
that the supreme court would consider
bicycle vehicle of transportation ant
even if that should be granted teamster
should not be compelled to give half 0

The sheriff of Fayette county called
upon the governor last week for asSls-
tance to preserve the peace. On the AZ
rival of the troops the rioters appeared 10
look upon them as school boys and went
ahead with the destruction of property.
They were ordered to disperse but they
gave no attention. The commanding
officer then ordered the troops to tire,
which resulted in killing four ana
badly wounding fourteen more. Some OF
the citizens appear to feel very indignant
at the sheriff, and have requested him TO
resign and also take his name Off the
ticket that is in the field this fall lie
declines to do either. He says he only
performed his sworn duty and is ready to
do it again should it be necessary. The
sheriff is evidently the right man in the
right place and the sensible people OF thf
county should stand by him at the com
ing election, regardless Of party.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHNGroN. Octoher 19, 1s94.

WASHINGTON, October 10, 1884.
Vice President StevensOn's recent
statement, that the sugar trust had gone
all to pieces and that sugar was to DC
cheaper than ever as result OF the
democratic legislation, was astonishing
news in Washington, where it is known
that.the trust made a deal with certain
prominent democrats, agreeing to walt
until after the election before raising
the wholesale prices of sugar, In return
for the promise that no changes would
be made in the sugar schedule OF the
tariff law at the coming short session OF
congress.
Another democratic reform was this
week semi-Oficially announced by those
connected with the administration. IL
| is that the excellent policy inaugurated
by the republicans, Of detailing army
officers to serve as Indian agents, is TO
be abolished and the position to be filed
by the appointment Of politicians. Ihe
alleged reason given is that the army
officers are needed by the army. Inc
real reason is that lucratiye places may
be found for few more hungry demo-
Gratis. This matter will probably bring
about some lively talk in congress,
which will not see the step taken to SET
aside its act providing for the detail OF
army officers for this duty without some
, stirring protests.
Much has been said by democrats about
the great reduction in salaries paid DN
q the government which were made by th'
democratic congress. According to tn
n book of Congressional Appropriations
r an official publication, compiled by tn
= clerks of the house and senate commit
d tees on appropriations, the number @
d salaries reduced by congress was Sixty
% nine, the annual saving being $26, ,oO(
10 while the number Of salaries increase
j. was ten, the annual increase bein
"a $33,741. 1t is a very simple matter
n deduct the amount of reduction froi
n the amount of increase and the resu
rs will show that the net increase in Il
Of amount appropriated for salaries,
government employees by the alleg'
economical democratic congress WI
,d $6,941. This is small matter Of itsel
q. but it is important because it shows Il
r. falsity of the democratic claim OF haviI
to reduced official salaries, and teach
nt people not to accept democratic clair
v except when they are supported
av unprecedented proof, and those ma
10 at this stage Of campaign are seldo
q in that class.

The BLOODY Heaven Of the Alaskans-

The Alaskan Indians believe in several
heavens, one above the other but the sec
ond, the one reserved for those who die
bloody and violent deaths, is the subject
of this note This bloody heaven is
high in air, directly above the earth, and
hasn't single inhabitant, except the
giant gatekeeper who has not died by ac-
cident, in battle or by some other violent
mode of taking off. The wounded and
dying Indians, whose lifeblood has been
diverted from its natural channels forever,
say that they can see heaven open and
hear their own names pronounced by the
gigantic guard who has charge of the cir
cular opening which leads TO bliss. Pres
emily ladder is let down through the
opening. 1t has but two rungs-two are
sufficient. The dying brave puts his feet
on one and grasps the other with his hands
and is instantly taken TO his rewari-a

Especial Correspondence.l


WASHINGTON, May The chief crown
and glory Of Washington is her system of
parks. just now the city is in the very
height of the loveliness that accompanies
the indefinable change of the seasons here.
Coxey could not have chosen a more de-
lightful time in all the year to come TO
Washington, and if the oft repeated scnti-
Enents respecting the influence of the beau
tiful upon mankind, rude or refined, have
any force in them they must have had
, their effect upon the apostle of good roads
and death to interest on bonds and his
cohorts.
Supervision of the parks is given by de-
tail of the chief of engineers, United States
army, approved by the secretary of war,
upon the personal request Of President
Cleveland, with whom he comes into init
mate personal relations, to Colonel John NJ
Wilson, whose title is superintendent of
public buildings and grounds" 1 found
him the other day in his pleasant Office on
the ground floor of the ornate state, wal
and navy building and learned many in
teresting facts connected with the parks
and public reservations under his care In
the beginning it may be well to state that
the parks and government property in
Washington, together with the urea Of the
streets and alleys, constitute something
more than one-half of the entire territory
within its boundaries.
Prior 10 the commencement of the i'm
provement OF the ground about the Smith
sonian institution in 1851 by that cele-
brated landscape architect and gardener,
Mr.. A. j. Downing" said Colonel Wilson,
sit is believed that few extensive park i'm
provements were contemplated or had been
made in any city of the United States''
This statement was in the nature of
revelation. 1t seemed impossible that
what one sees on every hand in Washing
ton in this line of development could have
been brought to such a state of perfection
within period of 40 years. That it had
been done is fact full of inspiration to |
