The Poet and the children.

With a glory of winter sunshine
Over his locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pict-
And his household and his kin,
While a sound as of nyriads singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from hts own fair city.
From the praire's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset
And the cedarn woods of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his country's child
rem
Were singing the songs of him.
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every Cline
All their beautiful consultations.
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came flocking back to his windows
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful. but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell,
With a joy akin to sadness
And a greeting like farewell.
With a sense of awe he listened
To the voice sweet and young,
The last of earth and the first of
heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the suInmoning angel
Who calls Gods children home!
And to him in n holier welcome
Was the mystical meanin" :iven
OF the words of the blessed lister,
'Of such is the kingdom of heaven"

The additional tax on beer is a
pudding to the brewers. The adj
ditional tax is 81 barrel, but pro-
vIdes for a rebate of 10 cents on a
total of 50 per barrel. Immediate
ly upon the passage of the law the
brewers raised the price of beer
SI.OO barrel so that the tax is
not only all saddled onto the re-
tailers, but in the operation the
brewers are enabled to pocket the
rebate, which increases their net
profits to the extent of u cents a
barrel. With a total product of
more than 100000 barrels a
year this trife will afford a snug
sum of pin money to the brewers
and nearly so per cent. of it will
go across the water, were that pro-
portion of the brewing interests is
owned.-Pittsburg News.

FURNITURE WARRANTS
Judgment BY Consent Against the
County For $24,50O
IN FAVOR OF AETNA BANK
CASE IN WHICH AUERBACH
CLAIMS SIS, 900 PENDING.
In Case of Herkimer VS.. Silver King,
New Trial Is Denied On One
Count and Allowed On Another
Other Federal and District Court
Business Transacted Yesterday.

The suit brought by the Aetna Ma
tionaI Bank of Hartford, Conn, against
salt Lake County to recover S29, 600 ard
interest on certain warrants issued by
Salt Lake county TO Andrews & Co.,
in part payment of the furniture in
the county's half of the city and county
building was yesterday called up be-
fore Judge Marshall in the United
States district court, and was settled
by the county conserving TO judg-
ment being entered against il for $4,000
with interest from yesterday at per
cent per annum until paid.
1t will be remembered that the war
rants in question We're sought 10 be
repujiated by the county on the ground
of fraud, If being alleged that Andrews
& Co bribed the members Of the county
court to pay an eXorbitant price for
the furniture and for the issuance OF
the warrants. which We're purchased
from Andrews & Co. by the Aetna Ma
tionai Bank.
on the face of it, it looks as if the
holders Of the warrants had received =
less amount than their face value, but
such is not really the fact and although
salt Lake county saves something like
81 900. the full face value OF the war
rants viii be paid. When Andrews q
Co failed. the Aetna bank made
claim upon the estate for the amount
of the warrants held by the bank and
received a dividend amounting to the
difference between the total sum of the
warrants and the $500 for which
judgment was entered against the
county. The assignee Of Andrews *
Co. was a party to the suit and the
settlement was brought about on the
basis indicated. because he did not
think it Wise to prosecute the suit
against the county in regard to the
amount Of the dividend paid to the
holder Of The warrants. The feeling in
Salt Lake county is not very kindly
towards Andrews & Co. which may
have had something to do with the as
signee deciding not TO follow up the
suit in so far as his interest in it is
concerned.
Messrs. Dey & Street We're the at
torneys for the Aetna bank and Coun-
ty Attorney Van Colt represented the
county.
a suit is pending in the Third dis
trict court in which F. Auerbach &
Co. are the plaintiffs, to recover $4,000
on warrants issued by Salt Lake coun-
ty 10 Andrews & Co Whether this
suit win be settled or come to trial
cannot yet be definitely stated, but the
probabilities are that ii viii not be
tried. II. G. Mcmillan holds the An
drews warrants to the extent of $4,000
or $4,000, which, with those held by the
Aetna bank and Auerbach & Co, make
up the total issut of $54,975.85 on the
furniture account.
The county at present is without
funds to pay the judgment entered yes
terday and will have to make provision
either by a bond Issue or by some ar
rangement with the judgment holder
All the furniture warrants were is
sued between June IS, and Dec. -,
1894, and bear per cent interest.
