THE BABY OVER THE WAY.

Across in my neighbor's window,
With its folds of satin and lace,
see, with its crown OF ringlets,
a baby's innocent face.
The throng in the street look upward,
And every one, grave and CAV,
Had nod and smile for the baby
In the mansion over The way.
just here, in my cottage window,
His chin in his dimpled hands,
And patch on his faded apron.
The child that live for stands,
He has kept my heart from breaking
For many long day,
And his face isss pure aud handsome
As the baby's over the way.
Sometimes when we sit together,
My grave little man of three
Sore veXcs me with the question
Does God up in heaven like mop
And say yes, yes, my darling
Though almost answer Nay
As see the nursery candles
In the mansion over the way.
And oft when draw the stockings
From his little tired feet,
And loosen the clumsy garments
From his limbs, so round and sweet
grow too bitter for singing,
My heart too heavy too pray.
AS think of the dainty raiment
OF the baby over the way.
o God in heaven. forgive me
For all have thought and said;
My envious heart is humbled--
My ueighbor's baby is dead
/ saw the little white coffin
AS they carried it out to-day,
And the heart of mother is breaking
Ia the mansion over the way.
The light is fair in my window,
The flowers bloom at my door;
My boy is chasing the sunbeams
That dance on the cottage floor.
The roses of health are crowning
My darling's forehead to-day,
But the baby is gone from the window
OF the mansion over the way.

ANOTHER ARIZONA LETTER.

Special Correspondence OF the Argus
PHOENIX, ARIZONA, Feb. IS, 1895.
1t almost makes one shlver to
read the accounts of the cold and
stormy weather in the north and
east while we are having such fine,
summer-like days in this part Of
Arizona. We have had several
white frosts this winter, owing to
the rains. During January and
February TO this date, we have had
several good rains, which have
soaked the ground pretty thorough
ly, and but little irrigatlng has
been required. Alfalfa, wheat and
barley look fine. Ranchmen expect
to begin cutting alfalfa by the mid
die Of April at the latest. Trees
are beginning to put forth their
leaves and everything indicates
that Spring is here.
This country is infested with a
lot Of tramps Of the worst type,
who have come here from the north
to escape the cold weather of that
climate. They are giving the citi-
zens much trouble. or course they
are not allowed to stop in the city,
but they are camped just outside
the city limits and are terrible
annoyance to citizens. On last
Sunday night they (two Of them)
entered dairyman's house, just
east OF town, for the purpose of
robbery Of course. They were de-
tected and driven out, when one Of
them turned and shot the dairyman
dead. The Sheriff arrested three
men near the house Immediately
after the shooting, who are believed
TO be the guilty ones.
People in this valley have always
been very careless in their ways Of
living. Many live in tents, which
are easily entered at any time, yet
they will 90 away and leave all
their provisions, and many times
valuable clothing, ETC., and until
lately you would scarcely hear Of o
theft. In SIMMER almost every one
sleeps out Of doors and leave their
doors open and always feel safe.
but the timo has come that this way
Of living will not be safe, az the
tramps are beginning to find that
this is q good place to winter.

ReedsvIlle letter describing the sleet

FOOLED THEM WITH OLEO.
Spurious Butter Palmed Offon Expert
Dairymen TO Win Prizes.

MEADvILLE, Pa, February 10
The Pennsylvania State Dairyman's g
Association, which held its twenty
first convention here last week is in
a hole. BY II vote of 16 to 2 the
association sustained tho present
olcomargarine law, and in the dis
cussion it was also referred to as
''axle grease" "hoof juice" etc.
The association had offered six
butter premiums, divided into
classes, three each on one and five
pound packages. There were
twenty-four entries in both classes.
In order that the judgments might
be impartial and we'll done, three
practical pairymen were chosen as
judges Prof. IL. j. Waters, Of
the Dairy Department, State Col
lege; A. Il. Wales, Of Corey, and
John G. McClintock. These gen
tlemen Judged the butter by points,
aud their report was read from q
table almost as full of figures az an
official election table.
After announcing their decision,
Mr.. McClintock, the chairman, said
the judges took their own time in
doing the work. They sampled the
butter, cutting chunks off the
dainty prepared rolls; put these
into their mouths and allowed them
to melt OH their tongues, talked
knowingly about the grain, whether
it had been salted in the granular
form, and whether the buttermilk
had been washed out before or after
the milk had been removed from
the churn; whether tho butter had
been colored by the Jersey COW, by
feeding grain or by using butter
color, etc. All Of these points were
carefully gene over in arriving at
their decisions. The prizes we're
awarded and paid.
The second act in the farce.drama
is little different. Editor Palm,
Of Meadyille, has been making a
warfare through his paper against
the law prohibiting the manufac-
ture Of 0leomargariue, and IN order
TO test the knowledge Of dairymen
as to the quality Of It ~ compared
with the dairy butter he sent TO
Chicago aud got two samples Of
"oloe." and rendered them for
premiums as butter from two Mer
Ger county dairies. The one pound
package Of butterino received second
money, scoring 92l points, while
the fivo-pound package took third
money, scoring % points. This
evening Secretary Thomas j. Edge,
Of the State Board Of Agriculture,

ulars we're gwen him. Secretary

uticates to meet deficit in the
revenues, which all Of the Repubh.
cans aud few OF the Democrats In
Congress have insisted would have
TO be met, and which had even been
provided for IN an amendment to
an appropriation bill, authorizing
the issue of 3 per cent loan certifi-
Gates to heamount of 800, 600, 900.
Secretary Carlisle said ''lt is my
opinion that the Secretary of the
Treasury ought TO bo permanently
invested with the authority to issue
and sell short time bonds or other
obligations Of the Government for
the purpose of raising money TO
meet such deficiencies in the ordi-
nary revenues rs may occur from
time to time; but / do not think
that there is any necessity at the
present time for the exercise of
such authority, if it existed. 1t is
not probable that such deficiencies
will occur during the remainder of
the current fiscal year as will exceed
the balance on hand, and it Is osti-
mated that during tho next fiscal
year the receipts will exceed tho ex.
pend'tures." Surely that ought to
be sufficient to silence the deficit

The bill for the unlimited COIN
age of silver did not reach vote IN
the Senate, although it was demon.
strated that It was supported by n
substantial majority. When the
bill was reported to the Senate it
was understood that it was TO be
allowed to be voted upon, in order
to put the Senate on record. but
after trying to force vote by "a
protracted session the bill was sent
to the calendar. it having been
shown that no vote could be reached.

A Oneer Postomee1

One OF the strangest postofiices
IN the world is away down at Terra
del Fuego, in the toe end OF the
big shoe, which is what the map of
South America looks like. Tho
"oilice" is big barrel, and 1t is
fastened to rock overlooking the
straights Of Magellan. Every ship
that rounds Cape Horn stops at
this odd postoflice. A boat puts
out to the shore with letters to be
left, and the sailor who takes them
looks over those already IN the bar
rel, taking out and bringing away
with him any that his ship can for
ward to their destination. Then
ho fastens the cover on tho barrel
with it's hook and staple, and the
queer old postoilice that needs no
postmaster or mail bags is left to-
itself until the next ship comes
by.--New York Times.

President significantly said GLOW
would you gentlemen like to begin
your Congressional duties as early
as March 10Th ?" They declared
they were perfectly willing to wait
until December, and were told by
the President that conditions and
not personal considerations must
determine the time of the meeting
of Congress. Within an hour the
conversation was known Mt the
Capitol, and the Republican leaders
IN both Senate and Housc had their
heads together. Although they
have professed Indifference, it is
known that they dread an extra
session beyond everything, as 1T
will quickly demonstrate their ina
bility to legislate upon financial
subjects. They have been hoping
that the gold received for the last
issue of bonds, which they have so
loudly and hypocriticalIy denounced
would enable the Treasury to pull
through without an extra session
and that by next December there
would not be such pressing need for
legislation. This scare is having
one good effect. 1t is making the
Republicans assist in pushing the
appropriation bills through, because
they have an idea that the President
would not object to Congress fore.

The man who "objects" is now
in his glory in both House and
Senate. He can block small legis-
lation at will, as unanimous consent
is needed to get action upon any
bill not having the right of way
under the rules. There is little
probability of any more important
legislation, except the appropria-
ton bills.

Senator Villas, OF Wisconsin, who
made one Of the greatest speeches
of his life-he spoke nearly four
bours-in reply to the unjust and
unpatriotic carping and insinuation
OF the Republican and Populist
Senators concerning the contract
made by Secretary Carlisle to se-
cure gold for bonds, refuted in de-
tail every insinuation that has been
made, and made it plain to every
unprejudiced mind that Secretary
Carlisle, acting in concert with
President Cleveland, had availed
himself Of every possible means to
make as favorable bargain as pos
slble, and that no one else could
have secured better terms from the
men who controlled the gold want
ed. Senator Aldrich, OF Rhode
Island, who persisted IN interrupt.
ing Mr.. Villas. to say directly, or TO
intimate that he could have gotten
the gold cheaper, was well answered, i,
and the answer applies to all the
other fault finders, when Mr.. Villas
said "If the Senator from Rhode
Island, instead OF standing here TO
carp at transaction already ac-
complished and finished, had put
himself at one cad Of the Atlantic
cable, as the Secretary Of the Treas.
ury did, and with the aid Of the
greatest bankers Of New York, had
cabled, as the Secretary did. TO
every money market Of the world
trying in every way possible to get
a reduction Of the rate Of interest, 1,
he would have had a different opin
ion as to the possibility Of getting
gold at such a price as he wanted >"
