THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

Oh! to have lived when earth was young.
And everything was charming,
When bears and tigers were like lambs.
And snakes were not alarmingl
When every day the sun shone out
The whole world went a. Maying,
And lovely maids on every hand
Through forests dense were strayingi
Oh! to have known the peerless knights
Who went out dragon killing,
And who to succor innocence
Distressed were more than willippi
Oh! to have owned the purses which
with gold were always glist'ning,
Oh! to have seen the fairies come
TO every baby's christening.
Oh! to have been for one hour on
A magic carpet sitting,
And in the twinkling of an eve
From land to land go fitting!
Just to have once giant seen.
Though at a civil distance,
And to a princess in distress
Have offered some assistance.
Oh! to have had the lamps, the rings
That friendly genii granted!
Oh! to have met the fawns and swans
Which always were enchanted
Oh! to have lived when beggar men
Great Kingdoms could herit,
When princesses could ~ churls.
And wishing was a merit!
When peasant lads and monarch's sons
Were equally undaunted,
When every tree and rock and stream
Was by some fairy haunted.
Oh! to have known the time when tears
Were always turned to laughter.
And grief to joy, and people lived
Happily ever after!

Professor Thomson Was snubbad.

AS near to recreation as anything Of
the kind ever engages the always earnest
attention Of Professor Elihu Thomson
is the interest which he shows in the
alleged applications Of electricity, par
ticularly in regard to the devices by
which the INSCRIPTIONS play upon the
credulous and the suffering. While at
the Chicago fair he examined at a sell
ing stand a so called electrical appli
Rnce to be worn in the shoes for the
cure of various ailments from cold feet
upward. The young woman volubly
described the apparatus in political
phrase, claiming everything" and
then proceeded to explain the "scien-
tifc principles by which the electric
current would pass up one limb to the
heart and then down by the other one,
and much more of the like ilk. The
professor mildly stated that electricity
did not operate in the manner stated,
when the young woman Indignantly
swept the goods back into the showcase,
exclaiming, "Well, what do you know
about electricity anyway" - Boston

Won Nloitke's Predicament.


Won Moltke once went to Lindau, as
he thought, incognito. He ordered a
room on the ground floor in the Bay
erische Hof and went to bed early, but
forgot to draw his blinds down. When
he was just going to sleep, he heard
music drawing near. He had been
recognized, after all. and was going tc
be serenaded again. The difficulty was
how to get dressed without being seen.
He dared not strike light. But pres
emily the glare of torches lit up his room,
and the curious crowd stood close to the
windows, their noses pressed against
the panes. In spite of that, he felt that
he must rise, SO he got up and dressed.
But as he put on each piece Of his APP
parel the feat was greeted with loud
and prolonged applause Francisco

Daily Papers at the North Pole.

No people in the world cling to their
newspapers like the English, In the
arctic expedition Of 1875 one of the
chaplains provided a file of The Times
with the reports of the C1imean war,
20 years old, Of which he doled out two
copies every day, one to each ship,
The captains and officers had it first,
then it was handed on to the fo'c's'le,
and in little while every one was
ss keen about the Russian news as
If the war had been going on al

troll of the press used to be be-
>sieged with entreaties for an evening
edition, and when Sevastopol was on
the eve of being taken excitement ran
SO high that the newspaper locker was
almost stormed, However, the editor
stood firm and continued to dole out
his single edition day, SO that the in
terest was kept up to the end Of the ex-
nedition. London Million.

They Assert That the Oorbett- Mitchell
Contest Will Come Off.
The Duval Athletic Club Say That
The Governor Determined.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. 1.-Augustus
G. Hartridge. states attorney for the fourth
Judicial circuit, who was angry yesterday
at the publication of Attorney General La
mars letter declining to mix up in the Cor
bett-Mitchell case, has cooled down some
what this morning.
Last night he said that he had in prepara-
ton personal letter in reply to Lamar's,
which he would give out for publication to-
day. This morning, however, he declines to
give anything out for the newspapers. and
1t is surmised that the governors friends
and supporters here have persuaded him to
keep quiet.
1t is now the general belief that IL Judge
Call releases the two pugilists next We'd
nesday on writ of habeas corpus, the Du-
val Athletic Club will defy the governor
and all other authorities which would OBJ
struct them. and will bring suit for SOC. 900
damages if they or anybody else inter-
feres with the fight.
Both sides are mad now and the fight, it
is asserted, is sure to come off here, for
the club and it's hackers will not put up
with any more 'foolishness," as they cali
it.
Gov. Mitchell passed through here this
morning on his way to Tallahassee from
Tampa. He had nothing new to say be-
yond the statement that the law was suffi-
cient to cover the Corbett-Mitchell affair
and that he knew how to enforce il most
effectually when he got good and ready"

ENTITLED TO THE CHILD.
Little Edward Cook Turned Over to the
Founding Hospital
An Order Made by Judge Miller Today
The Little One Taken From the
Children's Guardians.

Anna Hurley, the young mother Of the
illegitimate child. Edward Cook, who tg-
ured in the Police Court last Friday, was in
Judge Miller's court again today. This time
she did not bring the baby with her. 1t ap-
peared that the child had been cared for in
the Washington Hospital for Foundiings,
Where 1t had been placed by its father
Under the laws governing that institution
1t appeared that the child legally belonged
there After the case was heard in court
last week and the child was turned over to
the board of children's guardians Judge
Miller's attention was called to the law
mentioned by Lawyer Mattingly, and for
that reason the case came up again today.
Agent Lewis Of the board of children's
guardians. who is now caring for the child.
made statement concerning the case. He
said that he was interested in the welfare
or the child. and he opposed it's return to
the hospital for foundlings He read from
tne annual report of the superintendent of
charities to show that last year sixty-sX Of
seVenty-three infants in the institution
died and said that In all institutions where
children were kept together about ~ per
cent Of them died.
It's case OF life and death with the
cnlid. Agent Lewis remarked. when the
glri took the child from the hospital she was
without a home"
The mother of the child also made a state-
ment. She said that when she went to the
hospitai her child looked as though he were
nearly dead. and that was why she took
1t away.
The law in the case was discussed and
'uoge Miller. speaking Of the death rate
mentioned, said there was nothing to show
Whether there was some specific reason for
.ne large death rate this particular year or
not. Under the law the Judge found that
me hospital was entitled to the custody of
tne child, and he therefore revoked the
oroer committing the young one to the care

Ing the fare at its former rate of cents
for the entire route. Twenty cents fare for
both ways to some is matter Of no con-

LITTLE MISS PADEIFoRp.
The Question of Her support fn the
Pennsylvania Courts.

Philadelphia special to the Baltimore
American says: In the suit in equity
brought by Gen. Albert Oriway of Wash
ington against the trustees Of the estate Of
Arthur Padelford OF Baltimore to Compel
them to appropriate a sum out of the in
come sufficient to maintain and educate the
six-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Padelford. an
appeal has been taken to the supreme court
Of Pennsylvania to determine whether serv-
Ice Of the process on the defendant. a nom
resident, while out Of the state limits, and
on one Of the trustees at New York, was
valid. The question was raised before the
common pleas court Of Philadelphia county.
and a decision rendered sustaining the reg
ularity of the service Of The bill on the
parties. though out Of the state at the time.
The original action was instituted a year
ago by Gen. Ordway. as grandfather and
next friend Of the little girl
The marriage OF Arthur Padelford 70
Elizabeth Godwin Ordway was soiemnized
october p. 1885. at Washington, and re-
suited in the birth two years later at PARIS
OF an only child, christened Valerie Batthy-
hani Padelford, taking the peculiar middle
name after one of the sponsors. Under the
Will Of the late Edward Padelford, grand
father Of the defendant. a large sum Of
money was left In trust for the use and
benefit Of Padelford. and q ike amount be
received absolutely. but afterward voluntar-
lily converted into a so-called spendthrift
trust, by which method his interest was
freed from all liability for nis debts or en-
gagements. 1t also prevented its sale. mort
gage or anticipation in any way. The ag-
gregate of these moneys placed In trust was
about saJ0.0oo. giving him an income Of
about $1,000 yearly. 1t Is averred that the
father is doing nothing toward the main
tenance and education OF his daughter. and
that the onus Of these duties has fallen
upon the grandfather, Gen. Ordway. No
sum certain is asked for as an allowance,
the matter being left entirely to the wis.,
dom of the court.
Gen. Ordway is well known In Washing
ton and Padelford In Baltimore. The case
attracted considerable attention in Philadel-
phia, not alone because Of the prominence
OF the affair. but also on account of the In
teresting legal disputes which II has given
rise to on technical questions OF law. de-
cision may be looked for about fhe end of
January. II favorable to the plaintiff the
cause will be referred to a master to hear
the testimony OF both sides and report to
the court a proper measure OF redress.
