An UnluCky Eungle.

On the 21stof December, 1885, Ad-
miral Dundas gave up the command
of thef fleet and returned to England.
lie was succeeded by Admiral
Lyons, between whom, and Dundas a
signal parting took place which will
long be remembered as a standing
joke in the navy.
AS Admiral Dundas left the fleet
at Kamiesch the crews of both Eng
lish and French ships manned the
yards and gave him q parting
cheer. AT the same moment, by the
desire of DuLdas, a signal was run
up 70 Sir Z. Loyns on board the
Agamemnon, May success attend
you" to which Sir L. Lyons ordered
to be hoisted in reply, MAY happi-
ness await you"
But though in real life hanging

cred to have no very close connec-
ton, yet in the signal code they are
very much alike. Unfortunately, in
the hurry to reply to Admiral Dun
das, the flag for the former instead
of the latter word was hoisted, and
what was worse the stupid blunder
was not discovered and hauled down

ct agent, when in a reminiscent
mood. can tell many interesting
stories of the west in early days.
He was in the service of the gov
eminent at Sydney when that town
was the toughest place In Nebraska,
if not in the west, and whence per-
sons bound for the Black Hills
started.
A few days ago Mr.. Chambers was
sitting in the Milwaukee city office,
and the conversation turned to early
days in the transmissouri country
and bravery.
1.-The man Of iron nerve I saw in
Sydney in 1877, said Mr.. Chambers,
was a beardless man, scarcely more
than a boy, and I should judge had
not reached his majority.
He was a tough man even in Syd-
ney, and his reputation was sustain
ed. for he always carried a revolver
and he would shoot at the drop of
the hat. His name was Dough Reed.
1T was said around town that he
would never die a natural death.
That turned out to be true, as he
was lyDched by mob one morning,
and that is where he displayed his
nerve
1.-THE lynchers took the keys and
unlocked the doors and went into
the cell where Reed was.
"He was smoking cigar when the
men came in, and when he sa them
he looked up as cool as you please.
Good evening, gentlemen. I
suppose you are going to take me
out and hang mo- he said as nom
chalantly as though he was asking
them to take a drink.
He was told that he was correct
in his supposition.
He got up as unconcernedly as
you please, and putting on his coat
remarked that no was all ready il
the rest were.
He walked through the Jail and
out into the moonlight, smoking his
cigar and even making little rings
Of smoke.
HE simply glanced up at the
moon, and turning to ono Of the
men asked him where no was going
to be swung off, saying that it was
of no use walking a man a mile or so
out into the country.
HE was marched up the street to
a telegraph pole that stood in the
very heart of the town.
"By this time half the townspeo-
pie were around.
"A rope had been brought along,
and it was slipped over ms head, and
he was bound.
~ can't climb that pole and fall
off. / ought to have q ladder SO as
I can get up, he said, and accord
ingly a ladder was brought and
placed against the pole. He was
asked if he had anything to say and
remarked that he hadn't, and if he
had no wouldn't.
when the ladder was )laced
against the pole, one of the men
started up to tie II end of the rope
about the pole.
"'You needn't do that, he said,
for if you will unwind these cords
about my wrists I'll do it,
1.-THE cords were unwound, and he
climbed up the pole as far as the
ladder reached and fastened the rope
around the pole.
when he had done this he look
ed around over the crowd, standing
very quietly then, and called out:
"Goodby, boysl
with that he jumped off tho lad
der, and in a few minutes his ~lifeless
body was swinging there.
"His nerve never forsook him
once. He acted through it all Just
as though he was used to it. He
was tho nerviest man I ever met"

During the past winter the fight
for silver has been made with great
err earnestness than heretofor. Not
only in congress but in Kentucky
and other states. In the meantime
the gold-bugs and silveritcs have
been gathering their forces for the
final struggle to be made at the nat
lonal conventions. The gold men
with their wealth, which controls the
press nearly to unit Throughout the
East, is making IA fierce showing.
Silver men knowing they have right
on their side are gathering in state
conventions and instructing their
delegates for the white metal. But
the silver men Of the West have a
faction in their midst that is danger
II to their cause, (people who are
50 selfish that they think their inter
ests will be best served by support
ing tariff iirst.) They are the stock
and wool growers.
While we believe that tariff is all
right to obtain certain ends we do
not consider it a cure for the present
financial straits. What the manu-.
facturers need first is a market for
their goods and then the tariff.
Tariff without a market will benefit
nobody. The price of wheat, cot
ton and wool will be affected only
when we have a larger money circu-
lation per capita. Give us free coin
age and the West will be on it's feet
Immediately. The larger circula-
ton of silver under free coinage
woul raise the price 2f wheat, wool
and other products. Then is the
time we need the tariff to reserve
the market Of America for Ameri-
cans. VIZ heartily endorse the act
ion in congress of Carter, Mantle
and Hartman, and we not only en-
dorse but we are proud of them.
The nation to day is like a sick
man, who is all run down and has
lost his appetite. The nation is liv-
ing off the farmers earnings and al
ways will. The farmer represents
the sick man. If he is sick and has
no appetite would it be advisable to
give him pies and cakes? He would
no doubt like to have them but he
would say he was not in condition to
partake of them. That is what the
manufacturer and wool man offer the
sick farmer when he wants him to
support tariff first. What does the
farmer need? He wants a tonic and
that is what silver is to the farmer.
1t restores his appetite, in the way
of prosperity, be then will say to the

Upward of three hundred years.
But there is never a sign nor a trace
or all you have seen and known,
Never a glimpse in your face

That have past in three hundred years.
You have only to count the hours,
Not tho sorrows and woes OF men,
The hopes that ere crushed and blighted,
The deeds that still live in story,
The lives that were love united,
For love, alike now as then,
Is the mightiest power among men.

Who holds the world in his grasp
And who slayeth all men at last
For zone may escape his clasp
