<. T. GREENE has been suggested as a
candidate FIR alderman to succeed ]. c..
Parker. Mr.. Greene would make an ex-
cellent member of the city council. He
has been resident of the city for many
years, and is thoroughly familiar with
every condition and requirement OF its
government, a successful business man
whose methods are accurate and correct;
progressive. enterprising and liberal. It
would be difficult to find resident Of the
ward who would bring more and better
qualifications for the discharge OF the
duties OF alderman. He would doubtless
accept the position in response to de-
mand by the voters of the second ward.

The Century for May will ave
story of the capture Of the slave-ship
Cora. the last SLAYER taken by the United
States, from the pen of Major Wilburn
Hall, who was her prize captain. Major
Hall, who is now the American Consul
at Nice. was Lieutenant on the Con-
stellation, which chased and captured
the Cora, and although he was mere
boy oil twenty.one years, he was placed
in charge Of her, with her villainous crew
and her cargo of 100 slaves. His voyage
was an eventful one, as he had not only
the elements to contend with, but sick
ness among the crew, and an incipient
mutiny. When he landed with his prize
in New York and learned Of the outbreak
of the Rebellion, he threw up his commits
sion and cast his lot with the Confeder-
acy. At the end Of the war he took SER
vice under the Khedive of Egypt. The
captain Of the SLAYER escaped from the
Constellation, to which he was trans
ferred. at Sierra Leone. Years afterward
Major Hall met him, painted and
spangled clown in circus, the celebrated
William B. donaldson. A pseudo-gentle-
man Of leisure on Broadway, negro min
strcl, clown slave-captain, he Was a
brave and generou us man, even though a
statutory pirate. says Major Hall.

REPRESENTATIVE HALL is quoted as
saying II should not be surprised if
this session lasted until September, or
even into October. The republicans will
certainly keep us here az long al they
can. That is good politics. They can
hardly lose any of the seats they now
aold, for they are down about to bed
rock. The democrats on the contrary
hold a great many seats thatin ordinary
times would be considered doubtful. and
they must make IN effort to hold some
OF them. Of course, the friends at home
can fight the battle. or a man can slip
away occasionally for little work. bnt
there is nothina lie befug on the ground.
Inc republicans know tins, and, as /
said, they will keep us here just as long
as they can. We did it in 1890. You
remember the Mckinley Lill was not
passed until October, and it is alto
gether possible that the Wilson bill viii
be DELAYED equally as long"

The men engaged in the great coal
miners strike now number about $780,,

times cut down wages. The men have
the sympathy OF the public. Over 75,-
100000 tons of coal were mined last
year III the sections of the bituminous
field which are affected by the strikers,
over $50,000,0O0 were paid out in
wages, and the loss in wages alone will
be SIPS, 900 a day. The strike must
entail great deal of suffering and seri-
ously effect some large business interests.
The men would have acted wiser had
they awaited the return of prosperity to
the concerns that use coal in large
quantities.

the object, as its constitution sets forth,
of rendering legal aid, gratuitously il

are unablet to procureit. Although called
a German society, its facilities are not
confined to persons OF German nativity
or extraction: Last year this society
took in hand 6,2s5 cases, about half
of which were Germans. The total

Did it ever occur to you how discon-
tented people are? You seldom find a
man but honestly believes the business
he is in, is the most exaeting and unre-
munefative occupation there is. This
feeling pervades all classes; go tothe coun-
try and the farmers will in nine cases
out OF ten, draw rosy comparison of
his lot and that of man in the citv,
and'express longing that he could ex-
change places as then he would be in the
shade all day, near amusements at
night, and thousand and one little
pleasancries occur to his mind that he
does not have in the country. The city
man is envying the man in the country
his green fields and pure air. The man
who boards wishes he was housekeeping.
The reporter wishes he was a preacher
and the preacher wishes he was re-
porter. The domestic In the kitchen
enyies the shop girl, and che latter who
is on her feet from morning until night
envies the domestic. And so it goes all
through the walks of life. No one is
satisfied, each one thinks that his cross
is harder to bear than his neighbors who
would gladly exchange with him.-Ex.

The weather conditions throughout

In the southern half of the
state most of the seeding is I'm.

planting of which has begun in lew
favored localities.
Seeding is well advanced in the north

Yet, sometimes in a sudden hush,
seem to hear a tone

II had kept my own,
And when, ofttimes, they come to me,
As evening hours grow long,
And beg me winnlngly to give
A story or a song.

Among the others shine
The eyes of him who meier has heard
Story or song of mine
AT night go my rounds and pause
Each white. draped cot beside,
And note how flushed is this ones cheek,
How that ones curls lie wide;
And to a corner tenantless
My swift thoughts fly apace-
That would have been, II he had lived,
My other darling's place.
The years go fast my children soon
Within the world of men

Not to return again;
But there is one who cannot go

VIII always be my own.
