Ad. Ridings, an old resident of the
Park and frontiersman, and recently
residing on Buffalo creek in the

His body was lying in his irrigating
ditch, and as he was subject to cpl

The Girane,s rrmiditr.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds, but is Indifferent to
loud ones. A writer in the Leisure
Hour says: Noisy sounds, like a
man walking with hobnail boots, it
does not notice; but lady coming
in with hardly more sound than the
rustling of her dress makes it start.
with pricked ears and eyes dis
tended. We remember well, after a
terrible explosion of gunpowder on a
barge on the canal, asking the keeper
OF the giraffes of that day how they
had taken it, and he said he was sur
prised how very little. notice they
took; they jumped 20 their feet, but
almost at once lay down again, when
they found nothing happened. ''But,"
he added, "if were at night time to
creep along that gallery in my socks,
they would be so scared that 1 believe
they would dash themselves to bits"
They fear the lurking foe, and a big
bang scares them less than faint,
rustling sound. They are in that re-
Spect very deer-like.

A lDREAM uoF REST.

oh, hurry the hour and the day.
And the weeks and months and years
that swiftly roll,
oh, the lives that are it's preyl
Oh, the tired looks we meet
As We pass along the street,
Bearing witness to the travail OF the
SOUL
Listen! L have dreamed a dream;
AND Of comfort, 1t has brought me Just a
CLEAN,
Tho / know. alas. and surely. tbs a
dream
Somewhere. in sheltered valley,
Peace EMBODIED. calm and still.
Lies a comedy little village
In the shadow of the hill.
EWhitened shines, each. little cottage.
Like a pearl in emerald set.
And the air4s sweet with fragrance
or sweet peas and mignonette.
And the sunlight loves to linger
On each humble sanded floor,
On each tiny latticed window,
Loves to. steal within each door;
And the air is filed with music
BY the pleasant ceaseless flow
lO'er its rocky heights and shadows
OF the brook Just down below.
How the trees delight their branches
Tenderly to inte-lace,
iO'er the quaint and straw-thatched roof
tree
In that sweet and quiet place!
And the people, men and women,
Working faithfully for bread,
Know the dignity of labor.
Where harsh greed lifts not its head
They have time for life aud loving.
Time to feel: yes. time to pray;
kings and priests. each one his Maker
Worships in a simple way.
,Naught they know of high ambition
But still less OF dark despair:
In their hearts brood no poor terrors.
Fear OF God has dwelling there.
Happy peasantsl happy valley!
Would that might or ring give
or vain pride, and I'm such shelter
TRANQUILITY and safely livel
Dear dream nookl could L but find it.
There, methinks. when day was spent,
II could pass from out life's knowing
With a sweet and calm content
And by true hands gently carried
To the graveyard on the steep,
There could in sacred quiet
Blissfully forever sleep

4 Distinction without Difference.

In n speech in the Senate the other day,
Mr.. Gallery of Louisiana neatly illustrated
the logic of our domestic Filipinos. He
was arguing from that beautiful text: "All
government derives its just powers from the
consent OF the governed" Senator Spoon
er interrupted him with a question as to
whether he thought that the principle ex-
tended to Inhabited territory conceded to
the United States as a war indemnity. Mr..
CafIery declared that ii did, because, under
our Constitution and the Declaration of In
dependence We cannot wage a war OF con-
quest Then" said Mr.. Spooner. 1.-The
Senator thinks that the acquisition OF Cal
ifornia from Mexico at the close OF the
Mexican war was unconstitutional? To
think so.
But why? II it is unconstitutional TO
tSke over the Philippines without the con-
sent of the governed, why was it not
equally so TO acquire Alaska without first
consulting the Esquimaux and the Indians.
or California without asking the Mexican
inhabitants or Louisiana without saying
a word 10 the people involved in the trans
fer? We are afraid that there is false
note in the Gallery logic. 1t sounds too
much as il it detected unconstitutionality
in any scheme for the incorporation of
fresh sugar producing territory. and would
not see it otherwise. But the distinguished
Senator from Louisiana is not alone in this
amiable mentsi distortion. He has COL
leagues who are much afflicted in the same
way. Hoar, Hale, Wellington. Pettigrew.
and their kind howl piteously over the
Filipino Washington, and our efforts to
civilize him, and cheerfully view the out
rageous starvation of the Porto Ricans by
reason of their subsection to Diugleyism.
but all the time these anti-expansion pro-
teetionists are thinking of Havemeyer or
beet sugar or OF Connecticut tobacco or
New England rum.

MR.. BARD's CAREER.
The Newly Elected California Sen
ntor Halls From Pennsylvania.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa, Feb. Thomas
Robert Bard. the new United States Sena-
tor from California, was born here De-
cember 8. 1871. He was the eldest son of
Robert NJ. Bard, who at the time of his
death in 1851, was the leading member Of
the Franklin county bar. The new Sena-
tor graduated from the Chambersburg
Academy in 1853 and the following year
took up the study OF law with George
Chambers, who was afterward n judge Of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Ill health compelled him to give up lis
law study. and. after a few years, during
which time he engaged in business ven
lures. he went to California, in 1861. to
take charge of the land interests OF Thomas
A. Scott. who was afterward President OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Srna-
tor Bard has wife and seven children.
Two sisters, Mary p. and Louisa j., live
here.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. "A joint session
of the Legislature today ratified the cleo
ton of Thomas r. Bard as United States
Senator, and he was formerly declared the
successor OF Stephen NJ. White. Senator
Bard made short speech. in which he
said he hoped TO win the commentator
of the People He added: Honesty and In
dustry are common and homely virtues,
but relying upon these l shall hope TO win
reward"
