Moonlight by the Sea.

Der the curling breakers sheen With fleecy clouds of gray between, Comes the moon in all her splendor, Bathing all things in the glow Foaming white the breakers roar, Sparkling to their very core, Plunging, racing to the shore, Then they break and run back slow.
 IT. Black against the moon-iit sky, Stands a boulder broad and high, Round 1t seething eddies play, Whirling in the silver light. Far to westward, bright and clear, One by one the lights appear, Coming, going, far and near, In the mystery of night.
 III. Higher mounts the shining moon, Til the night is bright as noon, And the breakers mufn1 ring tune Changes to a thunder loud. Then sudden change appears: The moon her gleaning shield uprears Then hides her face as if in tears, Amid dove gray cloud.
 ". Dark has grown the midnight sky. The breakers moan unceasingly, When suddenly the clouds on high, Change from black to pearly gray. And amid the silver shield, Above the clouds is half revealed, And then the whole bright shining field Appears, and all is light as day.
 V. Bright the crests of combers gleam, Dashing on the rocks between, Running back bubbling stream, To meet the tossing sea below. Slowly fades the brilliant moon, The dawning day has come too soon; The flashing waves have changed their tune,
 Into murmurs soft and low.

TWO WONDERFUL BOYS.

This is a large year for boys. It is the iPlatte" fourishes, the year in which some of his friends think we shall see boy President elected. An- other wonderful boy has made his ap- pearance. And, singularly enough, he has cropped out in Washington, D. C.. where the Boy Orator hopes to land, and those who believe in the magic in the occurrence of the Washington boy that will indicate to them that in the national capital before next summer. One thing that may serve them as a sign is the fact that the Washington boy is 16 years old They may also take comfort in the fact that he is highflyer He has built a model which flies, and which has the great merit of descending easily when eAiS AiioeiFS PoWSA iS SAHeeuoteu. II Has been examined by Professor Langley of the Smithsonian Institution, who says it illustrates principles that prom ise to be useful, and that it is really marvellous invention.
 Three cheers for the wonderful wash ington boy. If he can fly as high as the Boy Orator of the Platte is flying just now he will do well. The Boy Ora tor will also do well if he can learn to descend easily when his motive power is exhausted. It is one thing to fly, and another to light. It is indeed a wonderful boy who can both fly high and light safely.

SOME LAW IN TEXAS

They seem to care more about law in Texas then they have had the reputa ton Of doing. They seem to care so much about it that their care has worked very much to the advantage of Frank Wharton, who was indicted for murder in Wharton county, his crime having been the killing of man, yo- man and child in the most atroeious manner. The evidence of his guilt was so clear and abundant that he conciud- ed to make no defence, but entered a plea of guilty, in the hope that this might enable him to escape the extreme penalty. Under former rulings Of the Criminal Court of Appeals, however, the presiding judge felt compelled, not withstanding this confession, to sublnit to the jury the issue as to whather the defendant was guilty of murder in the first or second degree, defining fully both grades of crime. Testimony was therefore taken. Two of the witnesses examined by the State were una,,es- tionably accomplices and a third may have been. The law provides that a man shall not be convicted upon the testimony of an accomplice unless it be corroborated from other sources, es in this case it was by the confession of the accused. The judge neglected to charge the jury upop the effect and weight of accomplice testimony, d1upt- less considering it waste of words to say that Martin could not be legally convicted upon the evidence of his &C., complices unless it were corroborat;d, when the jury had thus heard 1t cor roborated by Martin himself. The counsel for the murderer carried the case to the Court of Appeals, upon the plea that injustice had been done by the judges omission to give this unnec- essary charge, and the court set aside the verdict. with the death penalty assessed by the jury, upon this mere technicaIity
 This doesn't read much like the ac- counts Of ''lynching bees in Texas wherein law is entirely dispensed with and what is thought to be justice is promptly executed.

the round. There he stood, or rather clung, holding to the ladder with one hand, while with the other he held his unconscious friend, who swung to and fro like pendulum. Help must come from below; yet who would dare to mount the ladder where certain death awaited one if the unconscious man should fall?
 But before any one could have climb ed the ladder Aldaya's grasp began to weaken. and the injured mans wrist began to slip through his fingers. He could do nothing to gain | better hold; he could only hold op as long as pos sible; and them

Its fitted bodice hooks invisibly at the side and is made quite plain in order to admit of variety of separate garni- lures. The stock collar is of green vel vet with lace points, and the sleeves have chiffon ruffies.
 Chatelaine watches are now reduced to watch and attaching pin. The latter Is usually in tleur-de-lis pattern and finished in enamel to match the watch. Tiny time pieces are no longer as vaiu- able and rare as they were, the usual chatelaine watch being hardly as big as a five-cent piece. They come in pret- ty dark enamel finish for Q tailor-made wear, and in all sorts of brilliant and dainty effects for other use. Strict taste demands that watch shall merely harmonize with the costume and occasion. and at no time figure as an ornament. Some of the watches of fered for dress occasion are as beauti- full as orchids and may be admired when worn with reception gown, though they would seem vulgar display if worn with shopping or other business dress.

FOR BRYAN AND FIAT MONEY.


 Solon Chase has been heard from, and his remarks show that he sees the situ- atlon just as it is. He is happy over the work done at Chicago, because he sees that free silver is stepping stone to greenbacks." He is still firm in the faith that animated him in the days of them steers" and he says that fiat money has got to come.'
 Uncle Solon is right in his under standing of the action at Chicago. The same ideas that were under the old greenback movement are under the free silver movement. And many of the old Greenbackers, like Uncle Solon himself, are renewing their youth and are ready to do their utmost for Bryan and fiat money. They know that if the free-sil- verites succeed there will be AT cents fiat in the silver dollar, and they are foolish enough to think that people will not find it out.
 We congratulate the Boy Orator on the approval and the support of Uncle Solon. The old man knows flat whenever and wherever he sees 1t.

The little notes were so small that when folded there was no space for address, so af- ter some thought the idea of an envel- ope pierced the stationer's brain. He had them cut by metal plate, and soon, so great was the demand, he com missioned a dozen houses to manufac- ture them for him. From such small beginnings came this important branch of the stationery business.

FASHION NOTES.
Pronpt in Revival.

It Is not so long since surplice waists were generally worn, but what occa- sional over-durable examples are now seen, and yet the fashion is being re- vived. This does not mean, however, that the waists of a few seasons ago that were laid aside may be brought into service without alteration, for the long-lived ones occasionally seen are strikingly behind the times, the new form of surplice having a character that Is quite distinct from the old. In the bodice pictured below the effect is produced by crossed bands of lowered taffeta ribbon. These are formed in big bows at the hips, from where long

 (From the san Francisco Call.)
 In the possession Of one Of the mis- sionary party just arrived from the South Seas on the Adventist vessel Pit cairn is letter which has an interest ing and unique history. It travelled about 25.000 miles, while The distance between the mailing point and it's desti- nation is but 1,200 miles, and it went the most direct route possible, and did not miscarry at any stage
 The travels of letter show, as noth- ing else can, the complete isolation of the little Pacific paradise founded by John Adams. Tahiti is only about six days sail from Pitcairn, and is the source whence lovesick Pitcairners take their wives. But letter writing, al- though it forms an important part Of the courtship, is generally confined to one letter. as whan the answer is re- -ceived it is generally the arrival ot the bride. Except a small vesse! or a man. of-war consents to carry letters be- tween the two points, which orportun- ity rarely occurs, the only remaining hope is Iron, 8 passing ship, bound from Sar Francisco or Portland to Europe. 4 gentleman now residing in Oakland was cnce deputed to carry tie Pitcairn mail for Tahiti, and ta day lie told the story of how it was done.
 "We left San Francisco in the ship City of Hankow, and were off Pitcairn Island on Christmas day. Only about one ship makes the island, and as we should lose no ground by waiting few hours, we hove to and signalled to Adams Point Then the two boats Queen Victoria and Admiral Drew came off with two loads of vegetables l Governor Mccoy also came off, and asked us to carry some letters to Tahiti. | We rather smiled at first, but when he produced seven letters and told us that there was no other way to send them we consented, and after paying for our fruit and vegetables we started on our | trip. Those letters were the cause of 0 l good deal of inconvenience. When the | captain landed in England he took the | letters ashore and went to the postmas- 1 ter. Then he was informed that he must make an affidavit and must ap- ply to the postmaster general for four l teen cents, the tariff for carrying let | ters from countries not in the postal | union. Eventually the letters were | landed in the Falmouth postoffice, af- ter we carried them about 1S,000 miles. l From Falmouth they went to South ampton, and were sent in the usual
