II brighten Lne IN
land wales
And scent with vioIets an the icy gales.
And MI the wandering sails
Come with thy golden notes
VI music from million feathered tn: Jats:
Flash DER the wind-bIown deep;
SEND thy sun-couriers where the ice fields
And bid the toilers reap.
Thy steps are on the hills
Thy voice is heard In the tumuItuous riIls
That leap into the light;
Thy brow-freed from lie thralldom Il the
night
Is laurel-wreathed and bright.
Come in thy kingIiest grace,
With glorious gifts undreamed-of for the
race:
And where thy empires be
There wave the flags of freedom Ger the
GarIands of liberty.
Scatter thy gifts as broad
As rolls the world beneath the blue Of God;
Wide swing thy door
OF plenty, TIL the waIlings of the poor
Ascend to heaven no more.
The olive branch Of peace
Wave DER earth's wars and bid the battle
cease;
And where the red swords CLEAN
Undarkened may the snowy daisies dream
Unstained the rivers streamI
Give light unto the blind:
The scattered sheaves OF every harvest
bind;
Ger every wayslde clod
Lift thou thy scepter-thy commanding
rod,
Till affairs rise to God
Sing with thy hills and plains
thy winds that kiss the roses of thy rains,
Thy rivers Viole+-Shored,
Thy ancient woodlands OF the nymphs
adored.
Thy fields with treasure stored
Freedoms diyinest song,
Swept by the thunders of the world along,
Until the unbound sea
Shall lave no shore where shines not for
the free
The sun of liberty!

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi.
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Captain Anfindsen Blamed for the Loss
of the Steamer Caspar.
The United States Inspectors of Steam
Vessels gave decision yesterday in the
matter of the loss of the steamer Caspar.
The ins pectors, after reviewing the wreck
of the vessel and the loss of thirteen of
her crew on Saunders reef, off the Mendo-
cino coast, said:
After careful consideration of the testimony,
we are OF the opinion that had Captain An
fndsen steered the magnetic course he Says
he did the Caspar would have cleared the reef
six miles. II does not seem to us possible
that the vessel could have been set inshore
by the sea. 1t is also our opinion that had
Captain Anfindsen used the ships Lead he
would have known his steamer was too close
to the land, and thereby have saved her and
the lives of all on board.
Therefore, for reasons of such negligence
and unskillfulness on the part Of Captain Ole
Anfindsen we have this date, under authority
OF Section 4450. United states Revised Stat
uIes, suspended his license as master and pilot
of steam vessels for the period OF one year.
