The Hammock Girl.
The hammock girl


Now has her whirl,
A most bewitching creature;
There's Ianguid grace
In every trace
OF charming form and feature.
Her hammock 'sswung
The vines among,
On porch that's broad and airy,
Where now and then
The passing men
Catch glimpses of this fairy.
She slowly swings,
And softly sings;
Her thoughts who can discover?
She'll not confess,
But here's q guess
They're all about q lover.
She whiles away
The summer day,
OF coming conquest dreaming,
Till in the west
The sur seeks lest.
And farewell ra Us are cleaning.
The night comes down,
Inpretty gown -
Again she's slowly swa ying,
But at her side,
With lovers pride,
Her George sweet things is saying.
A swing too fap,
An awful jar,
Some fond words left unspoken.
Two loverssore,
While on the floor
The h ammoek ropes lie broken.

The cowardly foreign policy of the
Clevelan'i-olney regime is bearing bitter
fruit; the more 50, since as yet il has not
been changed for ANYTHING better. Using
the falsely so-called sherman note as a
text, the British and continental presses
are flashing public opinion into the belief
that with Yankee insolence,' this coun
Try is spoling for a fight with somebody.
There is excuse for this In the contrast
between the overbearing language OF the
hanna communication to Lord Salisbury
and the dastardly course of this Govern
ment in regard TO Cuba and other interna
tional matters. We are not sure that
O. a carefully prepared play to scare this
nation into another arbitration treaty,
or TO scare il off from Cuba and Hawaii,
perhaps all three. There is room for sus-
picion that the financial and allied ele-
ments that owned Cleveland's Administra-
ton, and which bought the election OF
Mr. Mckinley aud control Mr.. Hanna's Ad-
nIinistration, arc at the bottom OF this
business, as they were behind the Olney-
Pauncefote treaty, and have been respon-
able for all our foreign policy since the
Fourth of March. In this connection it
may be proper to ask: What is the reason
why that Hawaiian annexation treaty
cannot be ratified before adjournment of
the Congress? Is il because the consid-
Grafton paid for the tariff bill included
a pledge 10 let the treaty go over until
after the Ohio election with view to
killing IL next winter?

AS result OF conversation at the Cabinet

Mr. Mckinley viii start for Lake Cham

by Postmaster General Gary and Attorney
General McKenna. The one will salivate

panorama of natures capabilities in the
way OF contrasts as TO compensate for the
brief time the visitors were compelled to
seek the protection of the rustic bowers
md verandas.
The concert given in the anpitheater
formed the CHIEF event OF the evening, and
the most interesting contributions on the
program were furnished by the Boston

tation melodies calling forth an enthus-
las'n which was shared by all present.

flying reception, Miss Conway sang prettily,
and Mr.. William Northcote gave an ex-
cellent colo upon the cornet.

evening was the song LET Me Take My
Place at Home A gain, which was rendered
by Byron q. Harland the refrain being re-
peated In a sweet soprano by Master Robert
Emmett Walsh from the rear of the audi
