THE SILENT sEARcHERs.

when the darkness of night has fallen.
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army of silent searchers
From the dusky shadows creep;
And over the quiet meadows.
Or amid the waving trees;
They wander about with their tiny lamps
That flash in the evening breeze.
And this army of silent searchers.
Each with his pickering light,
wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may be seeking
No man upon earth can know;
Perhaps tits the home of the fairies.
Who lived In the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
Than once, when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry Ministries
At The royal feast to sing,
The moon, high over the tree tops,
With the stars, refused to shines
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when, by the imps of darkness,
The fairies were chased away.
The army began its searching
At the close of dreary day;
Through all the years that have followed
The seekers have searched the night,
Piercing the gloom of the hours
With the flash of their magic light
Would you see the magical army?
Then come to the porch with me!
Yonder, among the hedges
And near to the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover,
And down in the river-damp,
The fire-flies search till the morning,
Each with his Pickering lamp.

1t was the summer that Lucy was

you can drive any cattle you find on

But l declare there is never any

she always stiffens up and says:
a'There that will do, Mary Jane! Not

Besides, it isn't right to answer
back. So I just said nothing, but
took Dot and marched straight off to

We found Sarah and Sam playing
in front of their house. Mercy mel

Sworn Statement of the Captain OF the
WaimaniIo.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.--The sworn
staten ent of the captain of the Wal
manilo, the vessel which landed at Hon.
olulu the arms and ammunition used by
the Royalists in the recent revolt, has
been received i'm this city and will nm
doubtedly create stir in Washington
when its contents is known. Congress
is now endeavoring to learn from the
state department all information possi-
BILE as to the identity Of the English hsnb-
jects engaged in the revolution, and OF
those who were instrumental in furnish
ing arms to the conspirators and revolu-
tionists. The statement of the vessels
captain gives many important facts not
as yet known to the authorities at
Washington, but they win sooner or
later find their way to-congress.
The captain says he was engaged by
w. III. Rickard to deliver the arms and
ammunition at Waikiki. He was to re-
ceive SIC, 1000, $1,000 Of which was paid
in cash. His instructions were to go of
Wanmanalo, where a schooner was to
meet him, from which he was to receive
the arms. The schooner was called the
w. H. Richard. The captain of the
Waimanalo was told that she had been
towed out of San Francisco, and the
arms put ON board by ting off Waikiki.
Two boats came alongside the Wal
manalo. and the arms and ammunition
were transferred to them. There were
800 carbines and several sacks of ammu-
milton. The captain disclaims all knowl-
edge Of who shipped the goods and who
paid for them.

0R the supporters and opponents of the

it 20 his colleagues. The first proposes to
restrict the law of 1875, which author
ines the secretary of the treasury to is

3 per cent bonds.
The second section authorizes the Sec
retary OF the treasury when there is a
deAicit to issue certificates of indebted
mess to pay current expenses, the certifi-
Gates to be in sums of $25, $50 and 800
and any multiples thereof, bearing in

the Republicans whose support he
is but temporary expedient to

visions of the administration plan is ex-
pecsed to win for it liberation if not the
Eupport of free silver men, who bitterly
oppose all propositions to discriminate,

expected, will commend the bill to the
house in preference to more complex

era fn CnIt ;pnta Ernit

GladstOne's Wisdom In 4 dvIslng tile Farm
ers to Cultivate Fruit.
A few years ago, when Mr.. Glad
stone, in ono Of his charming bucolic
orations at Hawarden, recommended tho
British farmer to turn his attention to
fruit cultivation and the making of jam,
his advice was received with a good
deal Of cheap and ignorant ridicule. As
usual, she ex-premier has proved good
deal wiser than his critics, and those
who gave ear to his counsel in this in
stance have had no reason to regret their
confidence. In an interview famous
provider says:
"The motive that induced me to tCko
up the jam trade was my knowl.l lge Of
the fact that within late years <Ir Go.
mand for preserves had been steadily in
creasing, while that for butter hay, 10

jam has great future before it.
The people are using it more and more
largely every year, and, in my opinion,
they arc doing wisely, for what could
be cheaper and at the same time health
Ter than good jam made from sound
English fruit?
81 attribute the superiority of Eng
lish fruit to the nature of the soil and
to the fact that the fruit ripens more
gradually in our climate than i'll coun-
tries where there is more continuous and
powerful sunshine. The slower the rip
ening process the better is the favor Of
the fruit. s-yrs-~ o. -.-.,.. -. .-s--
"You may not perhaps be aware that
strawberries grown in the northern parts
of Scotland are vastly superior in all re-
spects to those grown in southern Eng
land, without doubt because they take
longer to mature. Australian jams are
being pushed largely in India and else
where and may very probably come
over here before long to compete with
our home produce.
''ln Ireland there is magnificent fu-
ture for the fruit growing industry IL
only its opportunities were turned to ac-
count. Even now most of the blackber-
ries that come to the English markets
are grown in Ireland. But there are
enormous possibilities there of which no
one has yet taken advantage. Properly
worked, its fruit trade might yet do
much to insure Ireland's commercial
prosperity. '-Westminster Gazette.

one mile west of Sylvia, Reno county,
Kan, at 11:25 p. m, by four masked

they failed to effect an entrance and
then went TO the coaches and made the
passengers give up all their valuahles.
The train was held for an hour and 10
minutes by the robbers, who then rode

alarm, and Sheriff Patton was on the

The men are believed to be members of
