IHE sEnAToRsHIP.

While Senator Stewart is quoted
as saving he is safe on reelection
Congressman Newlands says that as
Stewart has apparently lost the leg
islature, the field is open to all COM
ers and that after due consideration
he has determined to become a can
didate for the Office himself. He
gives his reasons at length and
shows that Stewart and himself a.
greed not to interfere with each
other until after the complexion of
the legislature should be known.
We have heard considerable COM
ment on the situation hereabouts
and the sentiment prevails strongly
that if Senator Stewart is not re-
elected. it will not be Mr. Newlande
who will succeed him for the reason
that most of the objections which
are urged against Stewart apply
with equal force to Newlards As
one citizen puts it :" The issue was
fought out on home rule and il
Stewart loses, a fullblooded resident
of Nevada will take his place sure.

THE DEAREST GIRL.

This girl that I'm to write about-you
know the one mean
The girl whom al the fellows swore was
fit to be queen
OF woman kind she seemed 20 me the sweet
est and the best,
And that was just precisely what she
seemed to all the rest.
Oh. how my heart was stirred when first
/ met her face to face!
And to my addened eyes she seemed the
very soul ef grace
/ swore she was a gem, a rose, an angel
tminus W4ngs),
And ali the other fellows swore the very
sef-s1me things.
All. well do l remember how yearned to
call her mine!
To share my lot in life with her would be a
Joy divine.
And how l used to wonder II she'd care to
change her name;
And all the other fellows, oh, they won
dered just the same.
So long as memory holds sway I never
shall forget
When first held her hand in mine-I seem
to feel it yeti
Its tender clasp, so soft and light and yet
so warm a1d true
And all the other fellows, oh, of course
Iney nelu Il, TOO.
And then-twas after had kissed her fin-
gers ve.vet tips
bolder grew, and, OH ye gods! dared tc
kiss her lips!
The priceless boon was far above the
wealth of kings to buy,
And all the other fellows got a kiss the
same as 1.
And when at last the time arrived, dowI
on my knees l fell,
While in my hating, trembling way tried
my love 10 tell
Until she spoke the gracious word my hap
py life to bless,
And to the other fellows, why, she gave th'
same sweet yes"
Then to her stern papa l went to ask hin
for her hand
My knees were limp and shaking so that
could scarce.y stand.
He kindly gave his glad consent and wished
US many joys
He did the very self-same thing by all tn,
other boys.
And then, Of course-you know the rest
united heart ard heart,
l promised IL be good and kind and tru
''till death do part"
And with 6 ds gracious help I'll try t
smooth Ser path through life
AS every fellow will for her-the girl h
made his wife.

Hancock has got bis fill Of prison

Immigration.

The stringency of the regulations as
to immigration into the United States
is once more reflected in the return of
passengers debarked from Atlantic lin
ers at the port of New York during the
last year, for while few years ago, say
in 1892, 500, 900 were landed, last year
the total was S51, 573, the decrease be-
ing most marked in steerage passengers.
Fortunately many of the old emigrant
steamers have been withdrawn-thus
II cramps" crossed in 1898, and only
80 in 1896-so that, instead Of about
1000 voyages being made by all ships,
only 852 are included in last years re-
turn; thus the average number of pas
sengers per steamer is 41a.-London

Yank and Johnny Reb

William Wilkerson, who was for many
years jailer Of Fayette county, and was
noted for his fidelity to truth, related the
following pathetic incident Of heroism
which he witnessed shortly after the
battle of Richmond, Ky. in 1862:
"a son of my friend, Hon. Cassius NJ
Clay. was killed in the fight at Richmond,
and it WAS my duty to visit the battle
field to identify the body and to take it
to his fathers home. While riding
slowly over the scene of the battle l
heard groans, which 1 was sure came
from oornfield near at hand. Looking
down the corn rows l soon discovered
two wounded soldiers lying about forty
yards apart. One was Federal and the
other was Confederate. A cannon ball
had broken and terribly mangled both of
the Confederate's legs, while the Federal
was shot through the body and thigh.
81 am dying for water heard the
Federal say just as I discovered them.
His words sounded as If they came from
a parched mouth.
"'1 have some water in my canteen.
You are welcome to drink if you'll
come here,' said the Confederate, who
had feebly raised his head from the
ground to look at his late enemy when
he heard his pitiful cry for water.
Z" 1 couldn't move to save my life,'
groaned the Federal, as he dropped bis
head to the ground, while his whole body
quivered with agony.
Then beheld an act of herosm which
held me spellbound until it was too late
for me to give the assistance l should
have rendered. The Confederate lifted
his head again and took another look at
his wounded fee, and ! saw an expression
of tender pity come over his pain.d dis.
torted face as he said:
Hold out a little longer, Yank, and
Pll try to come to you.' Then the brave
fellow, by digging his fingers in the
ground and catching hold of the corn
stalks. painfully dragged himself to the
Federal's side, the blood from his
mangled legs making a red trail the
entire distance. The tears ran down nay
cheeks like rain, and, out of sympathy,
for him, / groaned every time be moved,
but l was SO lost to everything except the
fellows herosm that did not at once
think of helping him.
"When the painful journey was flushed
he offered his canteen to the Federal, who
took it and drank eagerly, the water
seeming to sizzle as it passed down his
parched throat. Then, with deep sigh
of relief, he reached out to the Confeder-
ate, and it was plain to see, as they
clasped their hands and looked into each
others eyes, that whatever of hate may
have ranked once in the hearts of these
men had now given place to mutual
sympathy and love. Even while I watched
them l saw the Confederate's body quiver
as if in a spasm of pain, and when his
head dropped to the ground l knew that
hero had crossed the dark river.
The Federal kissed the dead hero's hand
repeatedly, and cried like child until l
had him removed to the hospital, where
be, too, died the Lext day" ."-Le1ington
Leader.

Two Pieces of Advice Taken.

1t is told of an Indiana Judge that
shortly after his admission to the bar,
many years ago, he was lettering about a
country court house when presiding
Judge suddenly summoned him to appear
in court and appointed him counsel for a
prisoner abont to be tried for stealing
horse.
But. your Honor, he demurred, "this
is charge that may result in sending the
prisoner to the penitentiary if the case
goes against him, and 1 do not like to
undertake the responsibility of his
defence"
Nonsense" exclaimed the Court, "the
case is not at all complicated, and l am
sure you will handle it in ma nner which
will conserve all your clients interests"
81 have had no chance, your Honor, to
acquaint myself with the facts in this
case, and if the trial must proceed at
once l must beg to decline to represent
the defendant" insisted the young
attorney.
Your duty in the premises is clear"
continued the Court. 1 will allow you
sufficient time to consult With your client
and make out your line of defence. You
may retire with the prisoner into my
private room for consultation. Thirty
minutes will give you ample time. Go
into that room; have the prisoner state
his case fully to you; imagine yourself in
his place, and advise him to do just what
you you rself would do under the circum.
stances"
Aud if do this, will the Court hold
me blameless for whatever may result ?"
asked the attorney.
Certainly, sir" replied the Judge.
The lawyer and his client retired for
consultation. At the end of thirty
minutes the former came out of the
private room and said: "Your Honor, we
are now ready to proceed"
"Where is your client ?'' inquired the
Court.
81 do not know, may the Court please"
replied the counsel.
A bailiff ran into the consultation
room A window twelve feet from the
ground was open, and there were two
