DEATH AT THE FEAST.

To those who study with an I'M
biased mind the reports OF the CHASTITY
Moscow Crush" and trout" there is
something unspeakably painful In the
description of the brutishness and the
cal.ousness of the masses of besotted
rnujiks, who. for the sake of tinsel
cup, a sausage, piece Of bread, and a
few sweeameats, trasnpled each other to
death in their hundred thousands: the
survivors coming afterwards back, In
the most unconcerned manner, to con-
tinue enjoying the sorry amusements
offered to them, while heaps of dis
figured corpses were still lying about

CHICAGO, July 7.-Senator Hills
statement to the Associated Press,
when he came into the convention hall
today:
Il don't expect to be seated as chair
man and SO I cannot give out pre-
pared speech" showed the appreciation
of the gold situation on the part OF the
gold men.
Il may speak on the floor, but 1
doubt if that will be much before the
adoption of the proposed platform" he
continued Significantly.
Fellows added: Yes and we have
the assurance of the Ohio and other
silver delegates that Hill will be al
lowed to talk as long as he pleases.
This position of some of the silver
states does not please the more radical
silver leaders but it is certain Hill will
make a speech.

,rward and impeded his progress as

he walked up the aisle. In the demon
stration a number of radical silver
men with whom Mr.. Hill is very pop
ular, despite his money views, joined.
This was followed by a counter-dem-
onstration from the silver men when
dashing Mr.. Blackburn of Kentucky,
whose famous speech on the Friday on
which the electoral commission decid-
ed the contest against Tilden in 1876,
still rings in the ears of Democrats,
appeared at the head of the Blue Grass
delegation.

DAWN IN THE COUNTRY.

The sun is lifting up it's head
And nodding to the world;
The morningglory' left its bed,
It's petals pink unfurled.
Dawn chased away the will-o'-wisp;
The owls no longer see;
The bird notes float out clear and crisp
From yonder willow tree.
The brook is ripping fresh and bright
Along the deep ravine,
Past violets blue and violets white,
Past ferns and grasses green;
The dew has left the clover sweet
Where bees begin to. hum:
And to the peoples in the wheat
The butterflies have come.
So waken, ere the scene is gone;
Refresh your weary eyes
Upon the beauties of the dawn
Meath summers country skies:

DOWN In THE WILDERNESS.

oh! this is my song to the Gray and the
Who once We're SO many and now are So
The young ones. the bold ones
me grim ones, the old ones,
The lighters who fought out those terri
BILE days,
Through the copses and dingles and dark
tangled ways,
Down IN the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
1t was over the river Rapidan,
And slowly southwark the march began
Into the solitude,
Into the gloomy wood
On, on, on with wild, strange sound
Grinding and Earring the sodden ground,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
All sweet-voiced things had flown away,
Leaving to Grant and Lee
A desert and destiny;
What time their batteries fioundered and
pounded,
And the bombs through the timber
bumped and bounded,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Tossing and swaying, the hosts did go,
Blindly buffeting, blow on blow,
Over the feql-land.
Over the gray sand;
Cracked the crisp, keen musket fire,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Hitler and thither dashing in vain,
Columns soaked in bullet-rain,
Covered with battle-grime,
Day and night time,
Stumbled and fumbled on through the
maze,
And charged by the light of their powder
blaze,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Each man a hero, cleaving his way.
Sheer through phalanx of Blue or of
Gray;
Back and forth. back and forth,
East and west, south and north,
Plunging at death with a shout and a
shot,
Where the ground rippled red and the
air painted hot,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Oh! the heroes who died and the brave
who came forth
Were the soul of the South and the heart
of the North;
And the strong sons they sired,
Stand by the guns they fired,
Build on the battle-spots affairs of stone,
And one old war minstrel goes singing
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
And so take my song to the Gray and the
Blue,
oh! once they were many and now they
are few; 3
Here's to the bold ones,
The grizzled and old ones,
Who fought through the solitude man to
man,
Southwark away from the Rapidan,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.

CHICAGO, July THE gold men are
uncertain what course to pursue in con-
vendon. They are divided between three
courses:
FIst-To issue a manifesto.
Second-To keep their seats and refuse
to take any part in the convention pro-
ceedings.
Thira-To bolt.
Probably no definite decision will be
reached until the Michigan contest is
declded.
The gold men say if this is against them
the proceedings will be entirely un-
Democratic and revolutionary and they
are determined to show resentment in
some signal manner.

The Swiss Pike.

The name of the Swiss is generally identified with the long pike of the the tS-foot shaft; and most gallant attempts have been made by recent writers to prove that this celebrated weapon was a Swiss invention and em- ployed by the eonfederates from the first. The point, however, is one that must remain uncertain, for the earli- est mention of the long pike is found in an order addressed in 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the burghers of Turin, and no one can tell whether the Sayoyards borrowed it from the Swiss or the Swiss from the Sayoyards. The primitive weapons of all infantry seem to be the spearand shield The MiIanese fought with such spears, or bikes, eight or ten feet in length, at Legnano, the Scotch at Fallkir, and the Elem ings at Courtrai; SO that it is impos- sible to predict of any one nation that it added the requisite number of feet to the weapons shaft in order to make a long pike. There is no mention of bikes in the battles of the Swiss until Sempaeh, and it is probable that in that action they were not al eve ten feet in lenPth.- Maemillan's Magazine

Bob had the mechanical contrivance all rigged up. There was a piece of copper wire twisted tight round the colts tail close to the rump, n from there a wire runs up through the reins n down to the hand holts, where he'd fixed a couple of them 'lectric buttons, one on each rein.
 $ Now says Bob, you git n cluck to i'm; 'n' if he don't start, which of course he won't, just press the but tons
 Well, I felt kinder foolish, but thought it wouldn't do no harm to try the thing. So gifts in, 'n' tallin' a good stiff holt of the reins n adjustin' my thumbs to the buttons, hollers: 'Git! to the colt; 'n he didn't move, of course.
 Now, look out the way, everybody yells Bob. He's goin' ter start nowP
 "It was right at this pint thet I give them buttons a little squeeze. There was a curious, sizzlin', fryin', kind of a sound, n could see a bit of bluish smoke come curlin' up from thet colts trump. This lasted 1-16th of a second, maybe less, n then he started.
 "Holy straps! how thet coltwent out the barn door n down the lane. Smiley he'd the lane full of mares, n we went through lem like a cyclone, knockin' 'em seven ways for Sunday as we went.
 q kep' my seat in the cart, til we struck the gate at the bottom of the lane, m then there want no seat to keep, the cart bein' a total wreck. l never let go of a hoss yit, n l didn't kalkillate to loosen up none on this crit ter, so I hung on to them reins 'n' stud jed to land on my feet when l could but most of the time l didn't land at all 'ceptin' up agin things.
 "All this time I could notice curious kind of smell somethin' like fire in a tannery; but I was too near dead to locate it. and it want til we'd thrashed through two more fences and toured the hull orchard m corn patch, thet I heard Bob Smalley hollerin': Let go them buttons, yer darn fool!' We'll, it was the 'lectricity thet done it; n the Padget colt is standin' in my stable to- night 'ith his tail over his back n 8 ring round it thet's fried to a beautiful brown, all on account CT thet fool Bob smalleys mechanical injinooity"
 Here the old veteran indulged in a parting shot at the box of sawdust; then. with evident hesitation, consigned the remnant of the quid itself to the same receptacle and arose painfully from his chair.
 Pm all tore up," he explained, apollo getically, 'n' I guess I'll go home n lay up for repairs"
 But as he ambled away we heard him mutter, revengefully:
 Electricity l-Nol-No, thanks! -. Take it away!" lTINERANT.
