From the Cleveland Leader.l Ee stood on the bridge at midnight While clock in distant tower Let go with all its brazen might. And began to chime the hour. He stood and elung to the railing, And watched the boats go past; But he cared not where they were sailinl Nor thought of wheel or mast. He merely stood there swaying, Like reed in the autumn wind. And q weight of woe was preying Upon his foggy mind. The moon rose over the city
 Like flame In the gIidei dome, But it didn't scare him bit--he Was full, and afraid to go home.

Fred Hughes, Shortage.
.fFrom the Tucson star.l

From the Tucson Star.l
 Expert Heney is still busily engaged in exporting the books of the missing .ex-clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Fred Hughes, and cannot tell exactly when he will finish his task. The books are in such condition that the greatest care and attention is required to unravel the snarl, but Mr. Heney, fortunately for the people of this conn ty, is failT s4ual to the occasion. The amount ef the shortage as gbus asseftaiae3 amounts to between ass aud six thousand dollars ot this som between four and five thousand doaars ia money belonging to the county The remainder, fire hundred dollars O. more, is money belonging to private individuals who held warrants against the county. Another strange feature of the case is that ex-Clerk Hughes gave DO bond for the faithful perform ance of his duties during the term of 15e5-96. It is stated that he was sever al times requested to furnish his bond, by the Board of Supervisors, and al ways promised to do so, but never did. The expert is unable to state at the present time what proportion of the shortage was contracted during the first term. For the second term Hughes furnished bond in the sum of two thousand dollars, with two sareties, who are well worth tn e amount.

Ruins of an Unknown City Many Cen

The ruins of an ancient city many cen turies old, inhabited by race whose name and origin has no record in the annals of history, has been discovered in Guatemala. The shape of the drinking and cooking utensils found in the structures composing what was once evidently the resident portion of the city, and the chalices and other sacred vessels in the temples and fanes. are entirely devoid of the characteristics of Aztec and Toitsc antiquity. But. however they may vary In these particulars from other ancient articles they bear q general resemblance to the effects of Hostetter's stomach Bitters inasmueh as they have well served the pur- pose for which they were made.

He raised a sweet potato that weighed twenty eight pounds, and killed steer, a yearling, that netted $50 pounds, and has another left equally as large. He. has started hennery in which he has several hundred choice fowls, and will soon run up into the thousands. What he does he does with a will and intelligence and foresight that insure. success. 1t would be well if many of our farmers could take time to visit the Captain and learn how to improve their own farms and stock and put the biggest and best on the market and get the highest price.
