Emerson says that language is fossil poetry and Mir Park Benjamin in a re- cent book on electricity thinks he has found in one of these fossils the clcw to the discovery of electricity, which he credits to the women of Syria Their wheels were made of amber, to which they gave the namo of tho clutcher." and Mir. Benjamin thinks this must have been because they noticed that it drew to itself the dust or bits of leaves or chaff, or even the light fringe of their clothing, This was because the amber became electrified by rubbing against their loose garments as the spindle de- scended. He says;
 "The spinner easily saw this because the chaff would leap up to the excited resin and, moreover, unless she were careful. the dust and other substances 30 attracted would become entanRled in her thread. Therefore she called her am Der spindle the clutcher. for it seemed to seize those light bodies as if it had in. visible talons which not only grasped. but held.

LONGING.

The hilla slope down to the valley, the streams run down to the sea, And my heart, my heart, oh, far one, sets and strains toward thee. But only the feet of the mountain are felt by the rim of the plain. And the source and soul of the hurrying stream reach not the calling main. The dawn is sick for the daylight the morning yearns for the noon, And the twilight sighs for the evening star and the rising of the moon, But the dawn and the daylight never were seen in the selfsame skies, And the gloaming dies of its own desire when the moon and the stars arise. The springtime calls to the summer, "Oh, mingle your life with mine," And summer to autumn 'plaineth low, "Aust the harvest be onlythinef'' But the nightingale goes when the swallow comes. ere the leaf is the blossom fed, And when autumn sits on her golden sheave then the reign of the rose Is dead. And hunger and thirst. and vail and want, are lost in the empty air, And the heavenly spirit vainly pines for the touch of the earthly fair, And the hills slope down to the valley, the streams run down to the sea, And my heart, my heart. oh, far one, sets and strains toward thee.

An Army Reminiscenoe.

Speaking of cures for insomnia" said an old soldier, makes me think of our starting out one morning at 2 o'clock. marching 20 miles, and meeting the enemy at o'clock in the afternoon and fighting till 6, and then marching back to wherc we started from, getting there at o'clock in the morning.
 "Some of the men left in camp had made fire to cook their coffee by and had kept it going through the evening. It was now a big bed of red coals, with an occasional flicker of flame going up from the charred end of half burned stick. It was chilly night, and I thought I'd sit down on a log that there was alongside the fire for few minutes and get warm little before turning in. The next thing knew it was 6 o'clock. I had gone to sleep the minute l sat down and had fallen of the log without waking up.
 Now if, as sometimes happens, l find myself inclined to lie awake nights, 1 just think of the comfort of my present bed as compared with that by tho log, and that is enough ''--New York Sun.

ST LOUIS June l7.-Chairman Fair banks has made the following statements:
 "The probabilities are it will be a short convention. Of course 1t is foregone conclusion that Mckinley will be nomi- mated on the first hallot. If not by acola- nation. The sentiment is so overwhelm- ingly strong in favor of him that there is . very general desire to sec his nomins- ton made unanimously and enthusiastio- ally. The spirit which pervades tho con vention is admirable The platform will be straight out for s protective tariff and sound money. The tariff will bc one of the most important issues of the cam paign, for 1t is an absolute necessity that there sho1ld be some additional revenue Legislation to meet the continuing deficit in the treasury. The currency plank will he sound, beyond the possibility of quib- be or doubt It cannot be said that senti. ment has sufficiently crystslliEed among the delegates to enable any one to deter. mine who the nominee for vice president will he"

There is little hope that ss a means of success this free silver prop osition, after its thorough discussion during . political campaign, win attract majority of the voters of the country.

 This ought sufficiently to account for my anxiety that no mistake be made na our party convention. In my opinion DO effort should be spared to secure such ae. ton of the delegates as will avert party Generalization.
 IL is plsoe for consultation and com- parison of viewa and those Democrats who believe in tho cause of sound money should there be heard and be constantly in evidence.
