GOING HOME.

Heimgang! So the German people
Whisper, when they hear the bell
Tolling from some gray old steeple,
Deaths familiar tale to tell;
When they hear the organ dirges
Swelling out from the chapel dome,
And the singers chanting surges,
"Heimgang" Always going home.
Heimgang! Quaint and tender saying
In the grand old German tongue,
That hath shaped Melanchthon's pray,
ing,
And the hymn that Luther sung;
Blessed our loving Maker,
That is where our feet shall roam
Still we journey towards Goods Acre
"Heimgang" Always going home
Heimgang! We are all so weary;
And the willows as they wave,
Softly signing, sweetly dreary,
Woo us to the tranquil grav&;
When the golden pitchers broken,
With its dregs or with its foam,
And the tender words are spoken,

WANTS AMERICAN SONG BIRDS

Ex-Iieut Gov. Brockmyer. of Mis-
souri,. is the father of Il scheme to
give America what it sadly lacks-a
race OF high-class singing birds. In
its details it recalls the plan of the
first President Harrison to create q
market for American corn in Europe
by sending at the governments ex-
pense Il large corps Of experienced
cooks to initiate the peasantry Of
England, France, Germany and Rus
sia into the mysterious delights of the
corn dodger, the hoe-cake, the genuine
fapjack, and, best of all, smoking
golden corn bread"
Discussing his plan at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel the other day, MIR.
Brockmyer said: "The home of the
singing bird is Germany. There the
nightingale, the goldfinch and a dozen
other feathered musicians fill the for
ests with their melody. America has
in the common mocking bird a bird
as plentiful in the forests of Texas
and the Gulf states as sparrows In
the city parks. The mocking bird has
wonderful organ. He can initiate
any sound that ever came from u
feathered throat and trill or treble
once learned is never forgotten.
Wy pldh 10 W tIdp tuOusSiuu OI
so Southern mocking birds, place
them in cages, send them to Germany
and have them hung up in the forests
Of the Hartz mountains, where they
can hear the notes of the nightingale
and the other sweet warblers of that
country. In six minutes they will
have learned all that the feathered
songsters of Germany have to teach.
Then bring them home and turn them
loose in their native woods. The les
sons learned abroad would soon be
transmitted to their stay-at home COM
panions, and by them to the genera
tions of mocking birds Unmatched.
The results, 1 am sure, will more than
pay for the outlay. Our government
has spent much larger sums in efforts
to achieve an aesthetic effect in other
lines, and then utterly failed"

PERSONALITY OF; IL HUNG.

John Young in Review of Reviews:
How far the career of Ii Hung Chang
will justify the estimate Of General
Grant history will show Bnt he is
undoubtedly one of the notable men
of the century. When 1 first saw
activity, an alert. imposing person
age; tall, with a soldierly bearing. and
the touch Of the poet in his glittering
eye. He had less of the passive Cri-
entail manner than was common to
Eastern statesmen, the result, 1 pre-
sumo. of much contact with foreign
| ers. He would give you the English
grasp of the hand, or more likely rest
his hand upon your arm in a gentle.
caressing way, when taking leave.
He had an abrupt and at times turbu-
| lent manner-With capacities, l was
| told, for vehement anger, and there
| were occasions when courtiers and
high people would seek safety in
| flight, as was the custom in Berlin in
| that era of flying bOotjacks and I'M
| minent cudgels when the father of
| Frederick the Great was king. Ii
was never vouchsafed to me in this
| condition, was always stately, i'm
| perative person, with a capacity for
asking questions, and given to mock
cry and banter and unique views OF
| Western affairs. He welcomed talk
running into narrative, did not dis
dain gossip, liked to hear of the Gus
toms of other lands, relished anecdotes
of eminent men-Lincoln, Grant and
others. He had read interna tional
law, and 1 remember his handing mt

in which Wheaton had laid it down

OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.

lifetime democrat; there are plenty
more Of them who are saying the same
thing. Western democrats are getting
very tired OF seeing everything which
they would gladly do for the rellef Of the
people cheCkmsted by the tactics Of
eastern democracy. They are tired Of
seeing men Of their own party acting un-
der orders and obeying the counsel Of
Thomas B. Reed. They are seeing as
they never have before that, except in
the matter Of patronage and of office
holding, republican and democratic lead
era and mRnipulAtors act in perfect ac-
cord.
Senator Sherman is Clsveland's right
hand bower in the senate even as Tom
Reed ia the supporter OF the presidents
money policy in the house. OF course
the sham fight between the parties is
kept up over the tariff, but whichever
way that gees on the sliding scale Of
schedules, the people are ever sliding
down In the scale Of prosperity. The
tariff fire will soon break out in the sem
ate. II has been kept smouldering
back in committee rooms for some time,
while sugar lobbyists, and iron ore lob
byists, and lumber lobbyists, and coal
lobbyists poured their buckets Of cold
water on the free list fsmes, There's
no telling yet how successful they have
been. "FFee coap has warm, cheerful
sound; you can almost imagine that
coal would be cheaper for the poor man,
but it wouldn't be. You see "free cosl'
in this Wilson bill shuttle simply means
that ex.Seoretsry Whitney and other
good democrats and republicans (Mr.
Cleveland also it is said) have invested
much Money in Nova Scotia coal lands
and their syndicate wants the duty taken
of. Another set Of republicans and
democrats, including Calvin Brice, dem
ocrat, and Stephen B. Elkins, republi-
can, are owners Of miles and miles Of
coal mines and their syndicate does not
want the duty taken of. Seer That's
all there is in coal on the free list; just
q matter between capitalists; the poor
man isn't included; he can blow his
fingers to keep warm. just as soon az
Mr.. Whitney's Nova Scotia coal and Mr..
ElkinS' West Virginia coal is brought to
the market the coal combine will fix the
price and the consumer will pay it.
Great country this; a republic I think
they call It. Let me SEQ the sovereign
people oust this filibuster, then l may
call 1t government by the people.
"Free sugar" hath also q sweet sound;
30 sweet that democracy will put on a
duty at IFS peril. But which ever way il
goes in this Wilson bill much money
goeth with it into the capitalistic
pocket; one wsy the Hayemeyers and

way the syndicates and capitalists who
own the southern sugar lands get the
bounty. The big money men always
