The Empty Cradle.

New York Journal: The little white
cradle with canopy of blue was empty.
The downy pillow still bore the impress
of the little head that once pressed it:
a tiny shoe lay where it had fallen from
the dimpled foot q discarded toy was on
the floor. and on the wall were the i'm
prints of those chubby fingers.
All these the wretched man could see
as he paced to and fro in agony of
spirit
Oh. if he could only once more see that
face dreaming in the cradle, or even If
a moment the memory of the last few
hours.
But there stood the empty cradle with
all its sacred associations, bringing a
flood of recollections that promised to
crush him beneath its very weight.
For brief moment he was seized with
wild desire to wreak his vengeance
upon the empty cradle, but the imp-ints
of the three dimpled fingers upon the
wall seemed held up in silent warning,
and he fell to pacing the room again.
He turned his haggard face where his
wife lay dreaming with a smile upon her
lips.
on, Godi How could she forget? How
could she lie there smiling with that
empty cradle so near?
The face that peered down at the
slumbering woman was the face OF a
fend.
There was murder in his heart.
Under the intense gaze his wife Moved
uneasily. and finally. as if conscious of
impending danger. she opened her eyes
the face of her husband.
yet?' ''
With gesture of despair the wretched
man pointed to the empty cradle and
his weary vigil.

a CHICAGO cHANsoNNETTE.

You wonder why we sit and sigh and
weep and sadly moan?
If anyone should ask YOU we have trou-
bles of our own;
Gone are our dearest treasures and we
have not got a thing
But memories as heeting as the pleasures
that they bring.
We've even lost the nerve we had to face
the future dark,
And say. we've lost an icehouse that
burned down out in Hyde park.
Twas ever thus since childhood's hour
we've seen our hopes decay,
No sooner had we loved them well than
they We're snatched away;
We never loved franchise but that we
have been bereft;
Our noble. stately postoffice by wagon
loads has left,
And Christopher Columbus went away
three weeks ago
We lost brave hyena from our Lincoln
park sideshow.
Our standing army pressed his pants into
a proper crease,
And then he packed his grip and went
away to far-off Greece
And now a great sea Serpent'S come to
throw as into fits,
And scare away what little there is left
of cen our wits.
If in the bright beyond we could our city
fathers fling.
Wed ike TO start in fresh again without
a single thing.

TEE ROCK PILE FOR WOMEN.

The police commissioners of Kansas
City have ordered that the women
prisoners there be put on the rock pile
along side the men. The order, it
seems, has not yet been enforced, al
though it has created a great commo-
ton, and wcnans club has made a
vigorous protest against it.
Tie order should never have been
made, but being made should be re-
scinded so soon as possible. While at
first blush it would seem that there
should be no distinction in the punish
ment and treatment of prisoners guilty
of the same crime, yet the idea of put
ting women prisoners 10 breaking stone
for the public roads is revolving to the
American mind, and it cannot be
brought to think that such treatment
of women, no matter what their Of
lenses against the law, is at all
proper. Physically they are unfit to do
the work; and even if they were fit to
do it, it would still be disgrace to
compel them to do it. There is no
necessity to do so for there are plenty
of ways of employing them without
putting them to breaking rocks. Their
health doesn't require any such oc-
cupation for their usually sedentary
habits make imprisonment less irksome
and detrimental to their health than
it does to mems; and then they can be
given all the outdoor exercise that may
be needed.
Then, again, if they were set at this
task it would no doubt have most
disastrous effect on their natures in
every way. It would be almost impos-
sible to maintain discipline. while if
they were near male prisoners the ri
bald talk that they would indulge in
would most probably be such that it
would shock everyone beyond measure
who heard it.
The Kansas City papers should de-
nounce the proposition, while the peo-
pie of that city should assemble in
public meeting TO protest against it if
necessary. The proposition is so bar
barous and reactionary that it amounts
to a scandal. The people of the whole
country have an interest in the matter,
indirectly it is true, but still they have
it. One cannot help asking: What
kind of police commissioners do they
have in Kansas City, anyway?

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says that the presi-

for the summer, is to attend the an

Twenty third Ohio infantry, in which
young Mckinley enlisted as a private
when a boy in his teens, was "a ia
nous regiment" that not even grand
duchess of Gerolstein need have hest
tated TO celebrate in song. Its success

as they could be appointed, were Major
Generals Rosecrans. Scammon, Comfy

major was Governor Hastings of

of President Hayes. Ex-Postmaster

The Philadelphia Record says that
the Populations OF merchants who have
gone to Harrisburg TO plead with the
governor to veto the law imposing
heavier taxation on the sales of large
dealers will be met with two argu-
ments: % That the tax is not so
heavy upon the large establishments
in proportion to the amount of bust
ness done as upon the smaller estab-
lishments. % That the state is in des-
perate need of the money. To these
arguments the merchants may readily
answer that the mercantile tax has al
ways been an outrageous imposition
which was not originally laid for the
purpose of revenue, but to make places
for unnecessary officials and patronage
for impecunious partisan newspapers
and that it would be a better policy to
pare down unwise appropriations than
to impose excessive and unfair taxa
ton. How the governor shall decide,
who can tell? He is placed in an ex-
ceedingly unpleasant position in UNI
piring between an improvident and
rascally legislature, looted treasury
and indignant taxpayers. Unhappy

South continue to be make by Ameri
can and foreign capital. The English
and New York parties who have been
prospecting for gold about three miles
east of Oxford, N. O., on the Southern
Railway, for upwards of a year have
just purchased 800 acres @. land there,
for which they paid 81, 600. They will
at once put in machinery for mining
operations at an expenditure of about
$50, OOO. It is known that other gold
lands are being or have recently been
