THE WIND AND THE LEAVES.

The wind is fate.
The leaves are men
They are blown along for little space
And then
A few emerge and tumble ahead,
Over and over again,
In a maddening race,
And here and there
One lodges and clings in lonesome
place,
Until at last but a single leaf
Whirls onward into the far some
where.
And the many leaf-men that are left
behind
Gather in clusters here and there,
And are whirled about by the will
full wind,
And at last, when the great white
quilt is spread,
And all is over and done,
They silently lie and slowly rot,
Each on the barren little spot
Where it's troubles were begun.

THAT VASSAR GIRL.
1t is a Pity That Her Percentage Was
Discovered.

The circles of fashion and learn
ing in old Poughkeepsie, N. Y, have
received great shock, colored girl
has recently been graduated from
Vassar college. She was young,
beautiful, intelligent, the ward Of a
wealthy woman, and so white that no
one suspected her nationality until
she herself disclosed it. There was
a slight darkness of color at the roots
of her rosy finger nails, however, and
had this been discovered during her
student days she would have been ex-
PEELED. Shades of our pilgrim
fathers! Think of it. Because a re-
mote ancestor of hers might have been
an African king she would have been
considered unworthy to graduate from
an institution whose most aristocratic
pupils are descendants of people who
made their fortunes Of peddling on
ions and cabbages, and by mining the
succulent clam in the sand banks of
Coney Island. 1t is no disgrace for an
American heiress to sell herself to a
dead-beat Italian dandy, descendant of
degenerate house, whose very origin
is matter of doubt and whose own
parentage is open to question, in or
der to wear a tinsel coronet and a
title. Oh, no! She might even become
prime favorite in Turkish seraglio
without danger Of being considered
. more than eccentric. But let a girl
| whose only crime is that she pos
sessed remote ancestor the hue of
whose skin was colored a little
darker by the tropical sun than that
Of the inhabitants of Chesapeake bay,
solely on the merits Of the talents
with which she has been endowed by
a benefcent Providence, and society
holds up it's hands in holy horror and
murmurs, "How awful" 1T is said
that the girl is now ostrasiced by the
society in which she formerly moved
She is to be congratulated. The wo-
man who would snub her is no lady,
and the man who would offer her a
| slight is not possessed of half the
gentlemanly qualities of his ancestor
who made his fortune and established
a social status for his descendants by
| skinning muskrats on Hudson bay
The spirit shown by the residents OF
Poughkeepsie is the same spirit that
burned witches, and hung men up by
! the feet on account of their religious
belief. The aristocracy based on
! Doodle has been the hind wheel in the
van of obstruction to the march OF
/ civilization and a dead limb on the
growing tree Of American progress
But time in it's flight sets all things
right-Menasha Breeze.

The man-Of-War tailor may belong
to any grade of department. Some
times he is a coal passer, fireman or
oiler, but more often seaman, gun
ner's mate or quartermaster If he
has proved a good tailor, he is al
lowed his hand sewing-machine, and
after the decks have been cleared up
and he is off duty, he takes himself
to some favored corner of the deck,
and, spreading his mat, places his
machine on a ditty box before him
and begins his work. His patrons
draw sufficient cloth for a uniform,
and the 'iSheeny'' receives SIS for MAX
ing it up, with all the trimmings and
gi1l-guys about the flaps and pockets
so dear to a sailors heart. Some Of
these men who are Known to be
especially expert have such a rush
of business that, they pay regular
assistants from among Che ships
company. These men and boys are
the apprentices" and upon becoming
proficient buy sewing-machine and
launch out into business for. them
selves. There Is always mendfng to
do for both men and officers. and the
business is extremely profitable.
These taflors are the most pros
porous of all the extra-money-makin
class on board ship, and some of
them add as much as $50 per month
to their wages. A fireman's monthly
pay is S35, a nuartermaster gets about
the same, according to his class, and

Representative Mann Illinois -pro-
tests against the anti-scalping bill and
says ,hat the railroad people = by this
bill-clearly concede the right Of the
government to fix rates-when it is to
the interest Of the companies for it to
do so. Mr.. Mann says further:
This enactment is purely in the inter-
est of the railroad companies without
comforting any additional authority to
prevent Determinations and extort!ons
now frequently pr"cticed. 1t would
have been far better to have attempted
to correct some of the gross evils now
existing as to freight transportations
and to have protected the business and
shipping interest of our country as wei!
as the honest and legitimate railroad
carriers.

THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia

There is a popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been uniustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay, says Tit
Bits. Facts, however, DO not subst tamil
ate this theory any more than they do
the large majority of popular impress
sions
great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding Of seven
Russian .eliies Or prisoners. who had
made their escape from Siberia. They
were in an open boat in the Pacific,
and were taken to San Franc isco, where
they became the objects Of popular
commiseration, as well as the text for
the denouncing Of the Russian methods
Of dealing with political offenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. II now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed be-
tween their arrival IN San Francisco
and now every one of them has been
punished by the law of the land. The
last of the party has just been sentenced
to q years imprisonment for burglary,
while one Of his comrades only a short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent TO Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him a corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
'ellowmen if not absolute deportation
rom the country in any other part of
he world.

How Congressman SvTe!Es the Hex, as
CT !.is CGz2StEtgzeEaIs.
There is a member OF congress Who
does lot live a thousand miles away
from penns ylvania and New Jersey who
has hit upon a very clever scheme to
make himself solid throughout his dis
trict. In fact, this congressman, says
a New York correspondent OF the Phil
aCeiphia Press, is continually hitting
upon such schemes, and they eNtend SO
far that lie can probably represent his
district as long as he wants or until
his constituents conclude to put him in
some other office, the governorship OF
his state, for instance.
His latest little scheme to bring him
self pleasantly to the recollection Of a
large number of his constituents is
unique. There are several hundred post
Offices il his district, and, OF course, the
usual number OF applicants for each
one. The Endorsements Of the appli-
calts are Oh file at the post Office de-
partnleilt, and usually contain a long
list Of names Of prominent patrons of
the Office.
When the congressman makes a rec
oI2nenGatiCn of a Man for any post
o:1:ce he takes the list of the mans in
dorsers and sends each one a personal
letter match after this fashion:
In accordance with your recommen-
dation I have to-day named --
fCr postmaster at -"
Each man who receives such letter
iTnr1 eda teiv has & new IDEA Of his own
in politics and is pleased to think that
his congressman recognizes his impor-
lance. IN any case, the receipt of a
personal letter from a member of con-
gress is apt to tickle the vanity of a
private citizen.
