TRUE VICTORY.

He stood with foot ON the threshold,
And cloud on his boyish face,
While his city comrade urged him
/ To enter the gorgeous place.
There's nothing to fear old fellow
1t isn't lions den;
Here waits you a royal welcome
From lips Of the brayest men,"
Twas the old, old voice Of the tempter
That sought in the old, old way
To lure with lying promise
The innocent feet astray.
You'd think it was Bluebeards closet,
To see how you stare and shrink
! tell you there is naught to harm you =
It's only game and drink"
lie heard the words with shudder--
Its only game and drinkF'
And his lips made bold to answer
What would my mother think2"
The name that his heart held dearest
Had started secret spring.
And forth from the willy tempter
He fled like haunted thing.
Away till the glare of the city
And its gilded halls of sin
Are shut from his sense and vision
The shadows of night within.
Away till his feet have bounded
Over fields where his childhood trod;
Away in the name of virtue,
And the strength of his mothers Godl
On the page where the angel keepeth
The records of deeds well done,
That night was the story written
OF glorious battle won.
And he stood by his home in the star
light
All guiltless of sword and shield =
A Drawer and nobler victor
Than the hero of bloodiest field.

A Horse Famine.

Is there going to be a horse famine
one Of these years5 The best inior-
nation available from detached com.
munities here and there all over the
United States, as well as from gener.
al intelligence on the subject, is to
the effect that the proportion Of good
horsefiesh to the population Of the
country has seldom, il ever been as
low as it is now The discouraging
conditions surrounding the horse
markets everywhere have had the
natural effect Of turning stockmau
away from the growing OF good horses,
until the result alluded to is so plain
~ manifest as to admit Of no question.
What may be expected as the legiti-
mate RESULT Many things have oc-
Cured to reduce the demand for
horses for purposes Of transportation
and IN the industries, but we fail to
read the signs Alright if the tendency,
despite all this, is not toward situ-
alton in which the demand for good
horses will exceed the supply. That
day may not be just at band, but il
certainly should be coming.
1t should be remembered, though,
that such revival in the horse indus.
try as the future may have in store is
likely to be confined to about three
classes-heavy draught stock of
strictly choice quality, good large
coachers, and choice saddle and driv-
ing stock. The day of the plug
has come and gone. National Stock

A SURPRISED CHvALRYMHN.
BY J. A. ScorT.

Company &c" of Coles Cavalry
was ION scout 1t was investi-
eating portion of Loudoun county
in the region surrounding Leesburg
Turning off main road we entered a
private road skirting the edge Of a
forest. Before proceeding far in this
new direction, we were startled by an
unexpected volley of bullets from the
wood, but which caused no harm to
man or animal. We had surprised in
quiet bivouac a small body of Con-
federate cavalry, and they returned
the compliment with the aforesaid vol
ley and then mounted and fed. We
dashed after them and running fight
was kept up until they disappeared by
scattering in all directions in the thick
underground. They did not attempt
to make stand In our pursuit we
came into the grounds surrounding a
large AMI handsome mansion, which
latter we closed in upon, as some of
our men who were foremost in pursuit
said they believed they had been fred
on from the windows of the house.
When Gordon was formed around it,
few of us dismounted to try to enter
it. We were at the rear of the house,
part way along which ran porch.
On this porch we met an elderly
white woman, who told us she was in
charge of the premises and that there
were no Rebel soldiers inside. A lieu
tenant in our party demanded the keys
from her, which she refused to hand
over. She was told that unless she
produced them the door would be
broken in. She stated that the house
was the property of Mayor Thomas
Swami, of Baltimore. and that he was
Union man. The lieutenant told
her that that fact would not prevent
Rebels from harboring in it, and that
it must be opened, or-much as we
regretted to injure the property of
Mayor Swami in any wayne would
open it torcibly. She relented and
produced bunch of keys. We opened
the porch door and with drawn pistols
entered wide hall, from which door
to our right opened into large room,
through which we entered and found
the floor bare and the room empty Of
furniture. While we held this, some
of our men Investigated the upper
rooms, large and small, but found no
enemy.
On one side of the room in which
we were there were closed and locked
sliding doors leading into another
room-this part of the house evidently
being for use as double parlor. We
asked the house-keeper to open these
sliding doors, but she would not. So
of course this was the place where the
Rebels where in hiding, and shedidn't

Cheap to the salvation Army.
SAN Francisco, May 2s.-The rural
homestead plan for the unemployed,
as formulated by the Salvation army,
and which will be followed by the
army and the citizens committee, is
almost certain Of success. The plan
In brief is to acquire certain tracts Of
land from the government, from the
individual and otherwise, and to occu-
py and cultivate these lands and settle
on them the poor and what is known
as the surplus population Of the state.
Yesterday morning Maj. Winchell and
ex-Mayor Ellert had an interview with
Claus Spreckels, in the course Of which
that gentleman said he felt sure the
colonization plan was feasible. The
great future of the beet sugar industry
made it possible for colonists to be
placed on beet sugar land in wholesale
way He said he would buy all the
sugar beets that could be raised at 81 a
ton. Spreckels said he had 5000 acres
Of land suitable for the sugar beet,
which he would turn over to the Saliva
ton army on almost any terms it might
desire. This land the army could col
onize with the unemployed. The propo-
sition will no doubt be accepted.

EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May 22.-Yester.
day was regarded as one of the most
important days of the session Of the
general assembly. 1t was opened by
the presentation of gavel to the mod
orator by Gen. Harrison. The gavel
was composed of hard woods,
oak, poplar, black walnut, birch
and maple. The oak, he said,
represented the Calvinistic frame
work Of the church; the poplar
the free civil government fostered by
the church; the black walnut, not
painted nor hidden, stood for the
church's love Of finish, or individual
ism; the birch, with dropping branches
and clinging leaves, typihed the shell
tering church for the lambs Of God,
and the maple, with its message Of
sweetness, stood for the retiring mod
orator and his sermon. The various
pieces of wood were all historic. The
oak was from the first church in In
diana and from Hanover Theological
seminary, the mother Of Mccormick
seminary, Chicago. The black walnut
was from the first church Of Indianap-
oils.

No Definite Action In Regard to Cuba Until
Judge Calhoun Makes Report.
WASHINGTON, May 80. President Nc
Kinley has announced semi-oflicial-
ly, through Assistant Secretary Day
that his policy of non-interference in
Cuba would continue. at least un-
til report should be received from
his special envoy, William ]. Cal.
houn, Notwithstanding the action Of
the senate yesterday. Whatever may
be done from time to time in the legis-
lative branch is looked upon by the
president as mere expression of
opinion, carrying no authority,
for he contends, as Secretary o.
ney did, that recognition Of
belligerency is an executive func-
ton. The president will promptly
furnish the supplies voted by congress
to suffering Americans in Cuba The
first step was taken to-day, when part
of the sum voted was made imme.
diately available by cable, Secretary
Sherman directing Consul General Lee
at Havana to draw for immediate
use not to exceed $4,000, and to fur
nish United States consuls in Cuba, at
his discretion, funds for this purpose
