JEAN INGELOW.

Jean Ingelow has written 30 little of
later years that her work in literature was
virtually ended, and English letters have
probably suffered no loss by her DEATH
Nevertheless the passing away OF a woman
whose writing, both in prose and verse.
has added SO much TO the Joy of all who
delight in "noble thoughts welded to
noble words" will be felt as a loss through
out the English-speaking world. Another
soul of genius has passed from the earth
and we are deprived OF one more OF those
women who in the present generation
have helped to purify the morals of the
race by elevating the taste and leading it
to find pleasure in ideals of beauty and OF
worth.
With the exception of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning Jean Ingelow was the forem ost
singer among the women of her day. 1t
is doubtful if anything which she wrote
will be imm ortal, for she lacked that
highest gift of genius, the power of Great
ing out of airy nothings forms which live
forever; but, nevertheless, she has con-
tributed much to English literature which
will be long remem bered and will be
cherished in many home and heart SO

VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS.

Without much ado being made over the
fact, the Valley road has been steadily
extending its line and adding new cities
and towns to the list OF its benefciaries.
During the year which ended June 80,
1897, 121.S2 miles of track were laid, as
against S83 miles for the year previous.
The company, as shown b. the reports
OF its engineers, has built more than 5000
feet OF bridging, including several large
and handsome structures across the varl-
Gus rivers it was necessary 10 span. In
the year which ended the Both of last
month two roundhouses and eight
depots were erected and many freight
platforms and stock corrals constructed.
In addition, lie miles of telegraph line
were built in connection with the Postal
Telegraph Company.
The San Joaquin Valley Railroad, which
in it's extreme infancy was alluded to by
its opponents as TOY" affair, has proved
an immense business proposition, and
thousands of farmers and stock-raisers in
the interior Of the State have had reason
to feel grateful for its advent. During the
last twelvemonth the new line has added
to its equipments, among other things,
four freight locom olives, three passenger
LOGON olives, 100 boXcars, 100 stockcars,
nine passenger coaches and thre combi
nation baggage and passenger coaches.
The total equipment of the road is now as
follows: Seven freight locomotives of 65
tons each, three passenger locom olives,
$50 fatcars, 100 boxcars, 100 stockcars,
nine passenger coaches and three com bi
nation baggage and passenger coaches.
Nobody terms it "toy" affair any more.
1t has grown to be quite a giant in its
way, and is getting stronger and bigger
every hour
The line is now being operated between
Stockton and a point beyond Hanford.
covering a distance OF over 200 miles.
Reedley now enjoys communication
over the Valley road, and in less than a
month from this date Visalia will be
celebrating the entry of the line in that
city. Ifright-o difficulties could be
adjusted IN time the road might possibly
be pushed on to Bakersfield in time TO
carry portion of this years Kern County
crops. Farmers of the San Joaquin VAL
ley may well bless the new and popular
road for chopping down the high freight
tariffs and aiding the productive section
through which il passes TO realize the
share Of prosperity Justly due.

Kentucky is about to take similar action,

1t is easy TO grasp the importance of this

the fig hit against the consplrators who wrecked

To be sure these l, 900, 900 votes represent less
than quarter of the Democratic strength of
the country after doductng the Popultst vote,
which went to Bryan last year, but which will
not be cast again for any ncket, s1lverite or
other bearing the Democratic label. The gold

Twas written long, long years ago,
In my younger days, when
The heart guided the pen
Nor waited on reason so slow.
And each line seemed magical fetter
That Hinged me anew to the past
She was there as of yore,
But we brpathed them no mVre-

Yet her voice with is m usic came ringing
Again la my wondering ears,
And in radiance there
ShoDe the CLINT of hair
A luster undmmed by the years,
And my brain OF a sudden seemed swinging
And my cheek seemed to light into fame
AS paZed at the place
Where I'd fingered to trace
"Yours Forever" and then signed my name
There is no one to care for my signing
AS look on the paper so worn.
And try to be cold
And seem careless and bold,
Yet shud er and think of her scorn.
For the writing is mine past denying,
