SONG OF THE PRESS.
from New York journalism

The cling of the Press and the whirr of its
wheels
Are harmony that to my heart life appeais.
The sweetest OF mem cries awake to its hum,
the future CLOVIS brightly with what is to
come.
A view of the past are the wonders achieved,
The oppression and tyranny it has relieved.
The wall that in sin and shame finds its
cause,
And feebly reflected in courts and in laws.
Though mighty in volume, is yet vastly less
Because there exists an untrammeled Press
1t found man in darkness of mental decay
And reused HIM to action and hewed out the
way
With a force more effective than cannon and
sword
For we hear in its thunder the voice of the
Exposed the sly intrigues of king and of
The causes of freedom received it's support.
Demanded that laws should be equal and
The tenure of Office regarded trust

TO private advancement, SO frequently used.
Inc nash OF Its lightning is vivid and keen,
We catch but glimpse of the pathway be-
Dark clouds, like huge curtains, obscuring
from view
What Time with the future and press wheel
can do.
High genius and talents, and brilliant array
OF knowledge and learning are brought into
play,
The circle of sciences too, and of art
And classical diction-they all have part,
In COMPRISING the news of the world in a
space
That the man rushed with business can
readily trace.
From caldrons red hot. of humanity's life
Where passions are seething and surging in
strife,
Is mingled the humor sublime and the brief
suggestions (though volumes) of heartrend-
ing grief.

NO TARIFF TALK.
The Senate Does Business Behind
Closed Doors.


Closed Doors.
WASHINGTON, May 5.--Owing to the
fact that the major portion of the day
in the senate was to be held behind
closed doors in the consideration of ex-
ecutive business, Mr.. Harris decided to

Immediately after the reading of the
Journal the senate proceeded to the con-

Bannocl and Shoshone Indians, and
the heirs of those killed in that service,

WASHINGTON. May 5.-There was a
falling off in the attendance of congress-
men on the trial of the commonweal
leaders, which was resumed in Judge
Miller's police court today. Representa-
tive Sibley. of Pennsylvania. had seat
within the bar. After Officer Law, of
the police force, had told how Browne
and Coxey ran across the grass and the
shrubbery and were arrested, James II.
Forsyth. clerk in the district survey

of the city where the capitol grounds lie.
but the attorneys for the defendant
made objection. that twas not competent
After considerable argument he was
permitted to state what, upon hearsay,
he thought were the boundaries of the
grounds. Judge Miller recalled Officer
Law and asked him several questions.
Representative Pence arose and created
something of a sensation by declaring
that it was evident the court was en-
deavorlng to help the prosecuting Of
ficers out of hole from which they had
shown absolute incapacity to lift them
selves.
.Can you show any improperly in the
question:" asked the Judge.
II can object that the questions are
absolutely improper and leading" re-
sponded MIR. Pence.
Judge Miller declared with consider
able show of wrath that it was his priv
ilege and sworn duty to elicit ali the
facts in the matter. Mr.. Pence asked
some questions of the officer, which
showed that, although he was recorded
as the complainant in the case, he had
not. entered any complaint. He could not
tell how 1t happened that charges of
disorderly conduct and assault had been
entered against Browne aud afterwards
withdrawn. The officer denied that
Browne had been dubbed, and when he
was asked whether Browne had NOT
been roughly used, the judge said that
was not in the case. When the prose
cution finished Representative Pence
made motion to have the case dis
missed on the ground of insufficient
evidence. Judge Miller held that there
was proof tending to substantiate the
| charges, and declined to grant the mo-
ton. Thereupod Representative Hud-.
son asked for adjournment until Mon
day, that the lawyers might consult re-

A Steamer on Mule Back.

A triumph in engineering is reported
from the mountains of Peru, where a
twin-screw steamer of $40 tons, ITO
feet long and 80 feet wide has been sue
cessfully launched on Lake Titacaca,
the highest navigable waters in the
world, more than $4,000 feet above tne
sea. This steamer, which belongs to
the Peruvian government, and is to be
used for freight and passenger traffic,
was built on the Clyde, then taken
apart in more than a thousand pieces
and shipped to Mollendo by sea. 1t
was then carried to Puno by railway
and transported over the mountains on
the backs of llamas and mules and put
together by Scotch engineer.

layer or two around the body, so that
it will taper up to the waist line.
For the foundation on which the doll
is to stand cut piece of cardboard in a
circular shape with diameter of three
and half inches.
Now cut a piece of fancy lowered silk
with length the height of the doll and
breadth little more than the circum-
ference of the cardboard. Sew the
piece together and then shirr the top
edge to fit around the shoulders, not
the neck Also gather it in snugly
around the dolls waist and cut two
holes for the arms, leaving enough
cloth to shirr down like short sleeves.
Cut piece of fine white flannel or
cashmere in the shape of an apron and
fasten it over the front of the silk
gown by means of a few concealed
stitches. Tie a narrow ribbon around
as belt to hide the edge. This apron
is for sticking darning needles and
other coarse needles in.
Fold square of turkey red twill or
scarlet cloth crosswise into shawl shape
and place it over the shoulders of the
doll, securing it there by a few hidden
stitches.
Now fasten firmly strong bodllin or
tape runner across the back at the
shoulders. This forms the milk-pail
yoke. From each end of the yoke sus-
pend a large spool of white cotton
thread, these representing milk pals.
The handles are made out of the wire,
as in the picture, wound once around
the hands of the doll and attached to
ribbons which go up and tie at the ends
of the yoke.
Now stand the milllmaid firmly on
the cardboard, turn in the edge of her
gown to the right length and fasten it
around the entire circle of a row of
pins placed very close together.
There she stands, all dressed, except
ing her tall hat. This hat is made of a
stop thimble' thrust through close
fitting hole in a round piece of card
board, leaving enough of the cardboard
to extend about the head like hat
brim. The hat may be secured upon
the head by drop or two of melted
sealingwax, and is to serve as rest"
or holder for your own sewing thimble.
You have a good pincushion of the
milkmaid's stuffsd out gown, cushion
for large needles of her apron, cushion
for fine needles of her bright scarlet
shawl, and a holder for your thimble,
while her pals give you two spools of
cotton, with the ends concealed, yet
loose enough to be easily found. You
can hang pair of scissors on a hook
attached to her belt, but though this
makes of her very complete needle
woman's friend" it detracts from her
appearance as milkmaid. Chicago

Another very motherly father OF the
frog family Is found in South America,
in Chill. He is provided with large
sac, or pouch, which extends over tho
whole surface of his belly, from the
mouth downwards. There is no ex-
ternal opening into this sac, and when
Mr.. Darwin first saw male frog appa-
rently swallowing the eggs thought
he was the worst kind Of fellow to be
eating his own children.
But this thought was great injus-
tice. On opening the frogs mouth Mr..
Darwin discovered that on each side Of
the tongue was an aperture down
which the eggs rolled into the sac,
which soon became distended with
them.
AS the eggs hatch out in this sac the
young frogs find their way up into
their careful fathers mouth, and
thence out and away into the pond
which is to them the wide world.-St.

INTERESTING FROGS.
An Amusing Episode of the French an

An Amusing Episode of the French and
Indian War In 1888.
Boys are perennially interested in
frogs-boys and snakes and natural
lists.
Boys usually make their observations
by means of a triple hook and a piece
of red flannel, but a boy in Connecti-
cut, known to the writer, took twenty
eight one day with his bare hands.
Connecticut is q fine state for frogs.
There at old Windham was fought the
famous ''Battle of the Frogs"
1t was during the French and Indian
war in 1858. Windham was then the
most important frontier town of east
ern Connecticut. Col. Dyer, prom
inent citizen, was raising an army to
oppose the Indians at Crown Point
The town was alive with excitement.
One very dark night the people were
awakened by strange sounds,and at once
thought the Indians were upon them.
Selling guns, swords and axes, the men
rushed out to meet the enemy. But no
enemy was to be seen. Still they felt
force of French and Indians must be
at hand, for hoarse voices could be
heard calling for Windham's prominent
military leaders.
''Col Dyer and Elderkin, tool" ''Col.
Dyer and Elderlzin, toor'
The town was up all night. When
day broke the mystery was accidental
ly solved. A mile away from the vii
lage lay big mar-shy pond inhabited
by myriads of frogs. A drought had
nearly dried up the water, reducing it
to tiny streamlet, and for this scan
ty supply the poor thirsty creatures
had fought each other, until thousands
lay dead on either side of the rill.
This battle made Windham famous.
For years the inhabitants felt badly
teased and insulted by its mention.
Now, however, the story is no longer a
joke but priced tradition.
Snakes are as fond of frogs as the
traditional Frenchman who esteemed
them a delicacy. A frog has often
been found swallowed whole and alive
in slaughtered snake. One snake
known to friend of the chronicler
Jared badly enough by his greed for
his favorite dainty. He swallowed one
frog and then started to crawl through
crevice in stone wall. Before he
had dragged through his entire length
ne espied another plump little fellow
and took him in, whereupon he found
found himself securely fastened down
under the stones unable to move
either way, and was dispatched by the
spectator.
Naturalists consider the frog very
interesting fellow and other observant
