that he himself, who had been attacked,
was alive. So lie was alone in huge

came the galloping stage, with inordi-
nate tumult, blowing of horns crack
ing of whiplashes, snorting Of horses
and shouting of drivers and prospectors,
full of excitement, who were going up
country to the newly found gold fields
on the Witwatersrand. For five or ten
minutes thrice weekly July thought
that the universe was crowded with
hustle and business. and thereafter he
sank into silence and solitude.
July looked after the relays of horses
temporarily. His father had done so,
helped by the boy. but since his death.
week ago. the superintendent of the
company. 300 miles away, had sent word
to July that a new man would be sent to
relieve him. And then July would be
sent adrift, where he did not know and
nobody cared. Hottcntot boys, even if
they are as faithful to feed and water
their charges as this, are not articles
ofvalue in the land, and July's prospects
sof employment were not bright. So he
sat in the sun, with a mournful envy of
the horses, which were more thought of
than he.
It was in the hot afternoon, and the
only thing stirring was cloud of dust

THE SONG OF THE CORN.

Thy benedcite.
The sound each true heart loveth,
The light that freemen crave,
Shall whisper and CLEAN, shall 1nurmur and

Wherever our corn shall wave.
Ever the songs of the prairie
Echo among its leaves;
y While the rich light shakes. in shining
flakes,
From myriad tossing sheavcs.
Honored and ioy-crowned labor
Hymns from the corn-clad plains.
And plenty waits at the nations gates,
When the corn o'erbri1ns the Walns
Ever its bright blade mirror
Beams from the northern star,
Till the tumblins rills, and the plne-ciao
hills,
And the windows Of home afar,
Clean for the longing wand rer,
In flashes of joy and pain.
From the FURNISHED leayes-while his fancy
weaves
The glamor Of youth again.
Ever the deep seas murmur
Sounds in an undertone
Through its fair demesne, when its ban
nerS green
BY the morning winds are blown;
And whispers of nations waiting
The boon of our golden grain,
Our choicest gift, where the green sails
Their pinions upon the main.
Ever the warmth Of the Southland
CLOVIS in its yellow sheaves;
And all stories old. of romance and gold,
Emblazon the serried leaves.
But, witless. the naughty Spaniard,
Lustful for wealth untold,
In his dreams Of pelf neer beGuiled him

With the like of our cornfelds' gold.
SO from the North and Southland.
So from the East and West,
'Cometh the voice of the nations choice,
The praise Of all gifts the best.
And, high over all the emblems
Before Columbia borne,
With its blades unroiied, and it's plumes of
gold.
Shall bourgeon our glorious corn.
Sing us thy song. O prairie.
Murmur thy rune, o sea!
Send us afar from thy depths. o star,
Thy benedicite.

over the possibility Of having added to

contain several thousand Chinese.
They v stop to think apparently
that they are doing their very best to
continue forever mai system of con-
tract labor in those islands, which is
the most degrading kind of slavery.
No, wetake that back, and change

POLITICAL

The Virginia Report has the follow
ing to say of the Poll Tax case:
The dispatch published in yester-
days Report stating that the poll-tax
law had been knocked-out by the
Supreme Court, was indeed good news
to the people of Nevada. The bill
was introduced in the Legislature by
a scheming Republican politician for
the purpose of disfranchislng the poor
voters of the State, thus crjppling. if
not utterly destroying the Silver
party of Nevada.
Such a law should never passed the
Nevada Legislature, but having been
passed, ii became the duty of every
citizen having the interests Of the
commonwealth at heart to lawfully do
all in his power to render it inopera-
tive.
OF all the newspapers in the State
the Tuscarora Tlmes-Review was the
first to take up the iniquitious
measure and point ont the glaring in
justice of its provisions. The atten-
ton of the State press was drawn to
the matter, and Ge Carson APPEAL.
through one of its employees, began
suit, to test the constitutionality OF
the law. That able and talented ad-
v%ocate, William WOODBURY., freely
gave his services to the good cause
and the result has been as announced
above.
1t is a good thing, this decision.
1t serves to emphasize the truth that
in this century in this country, a
property qualification is not necessary
to a voter, hOwsoever small the
amount that qualification may in
volve. And it shows, also, "as thro,
a glass darkly," to the benighted
moral sense of p~ettifogging lawyers
the gratifying fact that the fruit OF
such shyster legislation is as Dead
Sea apples.
