On, the bliss of it! Just to lie,
The rhythmic wash Of the tireless sea,
That brings such freight of dreams to
me;
And the endless length and breadth of sky
Tor sunny roof.
No stern old Thought with his wretched
train
Of weary fancies sick and sad.
That move in the same old beaten track.
Backward and forward, forward and
back,
With never a. turn to the long old lane,
And nothing new or glad.
Strange how the years 60 backward. too.
Dropping behind by fives and tens;
SO fast that wrinkles are smoOthed away.
And brown the hair that has grown
gray,
Lips thrill hot with youths own hue,
And lifeis blurred lens
Grows clear again with the roseat tie light
That comes with the place and the time
With the soft salt air-the sea and sky
The CLEAN of the sailboats waited by,
The great ships seeking a far-off cline,
And fading away. from sight.
All things harsh and all things wrong
Take TO their wingsland fly away,
While life grows young and blest and true
AS Gods own 0neaven of shining blue,
Ocean and heart hum one glad song,
The bleSt, sweet day

snakes and NIornuitoes.

One of our F street young business
men who spent the greater part of the
New Jersey, comes back loaded down
with scars received in battles fought with
mosquitoes, and wOndrOus tales OF the
boring propensity of the pestiferOus in
seets, says the Warrington Star.
For medicinal purposes he kept a pint
bottle OF whisky upon the bureau in his
room, and one nfsht on going TO his lOdg-
lngs ne found about fifty Of the large-sized
mosquitoes staggering around on the bu-
reau, not one Of them able to fly. Missing
ms whisky flask, he commenced search
ing, and finally found it standing on the
window Sill Two Of the mosquitoes had
bored through the glass from opposite
sldes, ana ~ some way their singers had
beccme clinched together in the center
OF the bottle, and, being unable 10 extri-
cate themselves, they had started TO fly
away with the whole load, but the closed
WINDOW had stopped them. lnnumerable
small holes through the sides of the bot
tie accounted for the befuddled cOndl-
ton Of the staggerers on the bureau.
The snakes up there are almost as ra-
pacious as the mosquitoes" said the We
raclous young man; land when they
can get anything else to eat they swal-
low themselves"
Did you see any performance in that
hne?'' asked the Star man.
'On, yes. l was out walking one Sunday

tail when il came in sight. In less than a
minute the tail and about half the body
had disappeared down the snakes throat,
and then he stopped a moment to take
breath"
The. young man also stopped a moment
TO take breath at this point, then con-
tinued:

The Kamr bubble.

The promoters of what is known in
Europe as the Kamr bubble have blown
it as big as they can without mourning
the risk of bursting IT. Indeed, it is doubt
full if they can maintain it as it is. With
in the last few days there was great dan
ger that it would burst. The Kaffir
shares showed much weakness, and if the
promoters had not given them a firm
support there would have been panic.
1t is remarkable that the craze for shares
in the gold mining companies Of South
Africa could have been worked up to
such a pitch as has been reached. Rich
people have of course invested in them,
but the great bulk of the money that
has been put into the shares has been
furnished by people of small means.
The craze is not confined to London. 1t
has taken hold Of the people of Paris
and Berlin and other European cities.
When the bubble bursts. as it no doubt
will eventually. there will be countless
thousands who will mourn.
The South African gold mines are rich.
There is no doubt about that. but they are
not rich enough to pay interest on the
sSOo.O0o 600 or Se00O0O.OOO that is invested
in the shares Of the South African mines.
As a matter of fact, only a few of the
mines are paying dividends. The great
majority have never paid a cent, and the
chances are that they never will. 1t is
a remarkable fact, however, that shares
of non-dividend paying mines sell for as
much as the stock Of those which pay
dividends, ard in some instances more,
showing beyond the shadow of doubt
that those who are buying the shares do
not know what they are purchasing.
After the bubble bursts, what then?
There will be period of depression. Bush
ness Of nearly all kinds will be unsettled
That was the case after the bottom
dropped out of the great Argentine spec
ulation. The bursting of the Argentine
bubble had most disastrous effect in
this country, although few, if any of the
Argentine speculative securities were held
here.
Would the bursting of the Kaffir bubble
have a bad effect in this country? II
doubtless would. but not so bad as the
Argentine trouble had, because in that
financial wreck. the great banking house
Of Barring Brothers was ruined, and that
bank had close relations with the finan-
ciaI institutions of tais country. sun.
the depression in Europe would be so
great that the i'll effects of it that would
be felt in this country would be bad
enough

- Kormon. ~ PoIItIcs.

The Democratic party OF Utah has is
sued an address explaining to a certain
extent the recent action of the Mormon
church in calling upon some of its mem
bers 10 tell why they had accepted po-
Htical nominations without consulting
and obtaining the consent of the church
II seems that the Republican party has
captured the Mormon church-or the
Mormon church has captured the Repub-
lican party It really makes very little
difference which is the captor: the fact
remains that the two organizations have
entered into a political compact, and it
is alleged that the compact was ratified
by James S. Clarkson of Iowa for the
republican national committee some
weeks ago.
It occurred that both the Democratic
and Republican parties nominated Nor
mons for Office. A meeting of the priest
hood was held, ard the meeting pro-
nounced in favor Of the republican can
didates, and called upon the Mormons
upon the democratic ticket to withdraw.
This they declined to do. The priests
then determined to discipline them, and
summoned them to answer before q
church court why they had accepted
nominations without the church's knowl-
edge or consent Whatever may be the
ehurchs action, the political effect will
be the election Of the republicans, and
the winning by the Republican party of
two Mormon senators. One of the SEN
ators, according to the bargain with
Clarkson, will be George @. Cannon. not
long ago polygamous convict in the
penitentiary, and who is accused of be-
ing still in the habit of sealing" wives.

The prospects are that before long the
brick wall around the old South Broad
street cemetery will be pulled down.
That pulling down ought to be followed
at once by a general pulling down
Of high brick walls all over town. There
are too many Of them in Savannah to be
in keeping with the progressive spirit Of
the city. The old walls are relics OF a
time when pigs and cows roamed the
streets. and Of times still further back
when II was deemed the proper thing for
the patrician householder to shut out
the plebian gaze from his grounds and
gardens. Some Of the prettiest gardens
in the city are even at this day wholly
or partially enclosed by those high and
selfish brick walls. Recently. in a choice
residence section. some Of the walls have
been pulled down, and there is every rea-
son for the belief that the value Of
the property has been enhanced thereby
The buildings in the lots show Off to a
better advantage, and the greensward
and the flowers present a charming pros
pect. There is a certain hospitality and
friendliness about the open garden, guard
ed only by a low coping of brick and ce-
ment, or light iron railing. that is
alike charming to the visitor and the
prospective purchaser. In several in
stances it occurs that the greensward
between the sidewalk and the roadway
has as a background a high and forbid
ding brick wall. If the background were
pretty flower garden instead the diff
ference in effect would be very great.
Senator Morgan of Alabama is of the
opinion that wherever the interests OF
Great Britain and Russia conflict, it
should be the policy Of this government
to lean to the side Of Russia. If we were
warlike nation, perpetually quarreling
and fighting, and bent on acquiring terri
tory at the point of the bayonet, it might
be good policy to terminate our friend
ship with England and coddle the Rus
sian bear. But we are a peaceful and
agricultural nation, and Great Britain Is
our best customer Russia buys but little
from us as compared with the immense
amount that Great Britain buys Where
in would be the good policy of estranglng
our best buyer for the sake of acquiring
the friendship of a prise-fghter.

WASHINGTON, June i Tho question as
to the termination of the civil war raised

when President Johnson by procama-

Secretary Reynolds claimed that active
Eostilities ceased nine months before
Barleyoung enlisted. Since the deci-
sion was made 1t has been ascertained
that the supreme court, i'll December,
1857, held that the war did not terminate
until the date OF the presidents procia-

this decision and the large number of
