TEE RIDER.

I ope the window high to see
THE glory of the dawning;
The climbing roses nod to me-
And bid me sweet good morning.
Der mountain tops the sun breaks forth,
The silver vapor5 rise,
The deWy, sparkling morning earth
Widespread before me lies.
A horses coming step hear,
The winding road along,
Aud softly fails upon my ear
The distant riders song.
He comesi He comes, Unframed 1 list;
His joyous tones swell higher,
And mingled with the mountain mist
Float off in rosy fire.
o gallant rider, go not by
The heart that loves thee 50;
On her who for your sake would die
One kindly word bestow.
He passes by. He will not stop
Beneath my window bower:
He sends no smile of welcome up
To greet my failing flower.
He passes by, and faint and far
His song rings through the meadows,
And melts upon the morning air
In somber woodland shadows
Farewell. dear heart, ride gay and free,
The merry greenwood through.
And have no thought or care for me,
Who st!ll must care for You.
God grant your paths be always green
Pluck every blossom sweet.
Nor miss the rose shat dies unseen
Beneath your 4orse's fact

Perhaps you know what you're talking
about" said Mrs. Huntley directing a
suspicious look at Af1er husband. but ]
DON'T understand what you mean. Why
should Mr.. Decker be compelled to be
any better than any OF the rest of you
if he is naturally inclined to be "a l&ttle
wild, as You call 1t? For my part,
can't help thinking that a man who Is
strong enough to overcome a natural in
clinafion to be bad is a better man than
one who is good because it, is easiest for
him to be sn.'

Huntley, but George Decher's goodness
is not due to his strength of character"
You seem to have made a study of his
case"
NO. I merely have his word for it,
We'll, go on, pleace, and explain
You see, he has habit of talking ir

The utilization of burnt clays as a
road material is mentioned in the last
Missouri geological report as a subject
that should be fully discussed, says the
Philadelphia Record. Some of the rail-
roads are already using burnt clay for
ballast in preference to rock, sand or
gravel, with good results, so that the
extension of the use of this material
for roadways is in reality beyond the
experimental stage. Professor Wheel
er says in his report on clays that,
while it is net so good as tough rock
fer The heavy traffic of cities, it would
be desirable for country roads, whera
the teams are few and the loads light.
It can be prepared wherever the clay is.
and often by the roadside, and as the
heaviest roads are these in clay soils
these may be made to furnish the ma
terial for their own Improvement.

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

The Luetgert case is doing one thing
very thoroughly. which is to bring eX-
pert testimony into great disrepute It
was already in more or less disrepute
that is medical expert testimony. but
the Luetgert trial may be said to have
brought it into disgrace. Saturday
last two medical experts identified a
piece Of bone as being entirely different
parts, and no doubt ones testimony
was as good as the other. II would be a
really difficult matter for those experts
to identify beans when the bag was
open; if one did, II would be an easy
matter TO have the other identify them
as green coffee. Many who set them
selves up as experts are nothing more
than humDugs, who sit and lock wise
and use big words. The public long
since lost its reverence for expert testi-
mony because it soon discovered that it
was just as strong On one side as on
the other, and that all those who testi-
fed were equally eminent and equal as
authorities on the matters about which
they testified. There was time when
experts were regarded as oracular
beings. bat that time has long since
passed, and now they are regarded in
their true light as frall human beings
who are anxious to testify in behalf Of
the side having the longest purse.
Should ordinary mortaIs contradict each
other on the witness stand as EXPERTS
usually do, court, jury and spectators
would say that one or the other or both
were doing some tall lying and were
not 10 be believed.
At present expert testimony, espe-
cially where it is of a medical nature.
is in great disrepute, and there IS no
prospect Of its immediate restoration
to public favor

A WEAK BUT VICIOUS ATTACK
ON MR.. DALE.

The Tribune Is making desperate eff
forts to find something in Mr.. Dale's
record in the city council that viii
initiate against him as the Democratic
mayoraIty candidate. Its last attempt
is to make it appear that Mr.. Dale was
in favor of raising the price of natural
gas to citizens.
From its own showing it is plain
that Mr.. Dale was against, the PROPOSE
ton Of the gas company and in favor
of the citizens.
Two reports we're made On the ques-
ton and the majority report fixed the
price of gas at SO cents per 1000 feet.
The minority report, which was signed
by Dale, Mulvey and Diehl, was against
that price. they favoring the lower one.
The Tribune says that thus far the
record seems to favor Mr.. Dale as the
friend of the people as against the gas
monopoly. The whole record shows the
same thing. When the ordinance fixing
the price for gas was reported Mr..
Dale moved to refer it to the committee
on municipal laws, Of which he was
chairman. This was opposed by Mr.
Callister, nominee on the non-partisan
ticket for councilman from the Second
municipal ward, because he did not
want the ordinance referred TO an I'M
friendly committee. But 1t was finally
referred to the committee, and was
never reported on by it. If Mr.. Dale
had been in favor of the increased
price he certainly would have en-
deavored to have had the ordinance
reported back to the council. What
was the result? Simply that the price
of natural gas remains 80 cents, just
what it was. If this is favoring
monopoly it is the strangest way in
the world to do it.

"NOw TAKE MY HEAD OFF,"
Where the Old Negro Drew the
Line on Gen. Nichols.

General Nichols of Louisiana COM
named a brigade of infantry during the
Valley campaign in Virginia, which so
immortalized the name Of Stonewall
Jackson. In one of the three famous
victories over Banks, AIilroy and Shields
the Louisiana brigade bore conspicu-
Gus part, and its gallant commander
was carried from the field mortally
wounded, as every one supposed. By
good nursing and skillful surgery the
life of the General was saved, and his
State is proud Of him to-day as it's ex-
Governor, who is now serving his peo-
pie as one of the Judges of the Su-
preme Court. He left leg and an arm
ON the battlefield, and lost one of his
eyes. He wears an artificial leg on
one side of his body and an arm on the
opposite The pluck which enabled him
to withstand these terrible wounds and
to which he is indebted for his life
perhaps more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet, and he is one of the
most jovial of men, enjoying a joke as
much as anybody. He tells this on
himself
When canvassing for Governor he was
invited by a lady who knew of his loss
of limbs to make her house his home,
and he accepted. She ordered her man
servant, who knew nothing of the Cen
erals misfortune, to see that he was
comfortably put to bed. The darky felt
proud of the honor OF serving a dis
tinguished General and the next Gov
