OverinduIged Children.

John RuSkin, at 75, had as keen d sense of taste as most men have at 20, and greatly enjoyed new ilayors, says the Youth $ Companion.
 My palate, he once said, serves me now so well, because when I was a child l was given only the plainest of food. When l was boy, too, l had but one or two toys and no amuse- ments. Hence the keen delight which l now take in every little pleasure. "
 NJ. Renan explained to a friend his habitual cheerfulness in the same way. When I was young," he said, "my life was simple and bare. l had few amuSementS. l kept all my il- lusions; hence litUle things which an indulged child in luxurious homes would scarcely notice, now give me an old man real happiness.
 Here IS the hint of a truth worth the attention of American parents. If they have wealth, or even mod crate income, their fond effort usually is to give to their boys and girls all the pleasure in miniature which be- long to middle age. Children are early made familiar with the idea oi fashionable clothes and jewelry. They have their formal luncheonS and din. ner parties, and even balls, in which there are the state and ceremony, and some times the dishes, which are to be found in the entertainments of adults, They are overloaded with costly toys for which they care little.
 The disappointed father and mother wonder why the child is bored with new pleasures. They do not see that they are robbing him in youth of the relish and keen sense of enjoyment which was meant to give zest and hap pineSS to his whole life.
 Still more cruel kindness is that o parents of modern means. who accuS tom their children to a life of luxury living to the full limit of their in comes, and when they die leave then unprepared to strungle with tht world.

"OLD IRONSIDES.n

"Old Ironsideso was the popular name by which the frigate "Constitu- tion" was known. The poem was first printed at the time when it was pro posed to break up the old ship as unfit for service.
 Ay, tear her tattered ensign down! Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky; Beneath it rung the battle's shout, And burst the cannon's roar The meteor of the ocean's air
 Shall sweep the land no more. Her deck once red with heroes blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe, When winds were hurrying o'er the
 flood,
 And waves were white below No more shall feel the victor's tread, Or know the conquered knee; The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the seal O, better that her shattered bulk Should sink beneath the wave; Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there should be her grave; Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail; And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale!

The Colorado.

The Colorado river is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, says the Yuma Sentinel. The former rises in Wyoming, near Fremont's peak, and running southerly, joins the latter in Utah The Grand river rises near Longs peak, in Colorado, and running in a SouthweSterly direct ion, meets the Green as stated. From their juncture, the stream takes the name of the Colorado, and following a generally sOutherly cuursc, empties in the Gulf of California. The entire length, including tributaries, is over 1,2OO miles. It flows during the low water period at a rate not exceeding four miles per hour, although, of course, the speed is very much greater when the river is high. Among its principal feeders are the Rio San Juan, the Calorado-Chiquito, the Bill Williams Fork and the Gila
 The Colorado constitutes the entire western boundary of Yuma county, its total length between the Sonora line and Bill Williams Fork, the latter forming its northern boundary, sep arating, as it does, the counties of Yuma and Mohave, being about 235 miles. It is navigable during high water for nearly $50 miles from the Gulf of California to the Virgin river, by steamers registered and licensed through the customs district of Paso del Norte. The river is capable oi affording at all periods an almost in. credible amount of water for irriga- tion purposes sufficient, in fact, tC bring hundreds of square miles of fer
 tile lands on each side of the river under cultivation, besides supporting an enormous population.

WALSH SAVES HIS HOME.

The suit of Miriam l.. Huntington of
Norwich, Conn.,, against William Walsh
was tried in Judge Lindsay's court yes
terday afternoon and a verdict rendered
in favor of the defendant.
The action was one in which title to
a lot in the Hope addition was involved.
Mrs. Huntington owns, or did own. the
bulk of the addition. In 1892 Walsh
bought from G. c. Haskell, who then
owned the property, lot No. % of block
2, and built a house on it.. In 1898 he dis
covered that the deed called for lot %
OF the same block. He asked Mrs. Hunt
ingtn. who had in the meantime bought
the addition, to have the error corrected.
but Mrs. Huntington refused and brought
suit against Walsh to recover possession
of the property on which Walsh had
built the house, the house included.
Every point involved was won by Walsh
n Judgment in accordance with the
verdict was ordered entered.

To the Silver Republicans of Madison

To the Silver Republicans of Madison
County,:
The several calls for county. state and
national conventions which are being
published are in themselves sufficient ey-
ldenee that he political season is at
nand, and it follows that as a matter Of
duty we should enquire and determine if
possible where we are at"
In 1898 l had the honor of being APP
pointed chairman of the silver republic
can mmit for Madison county, which
position | still hold, and this 1 suppose
accounts for the great number of letters
which l am receiving from the earnest,
thoughtful silver republicans relative to
the present situation. l nave no author
ity to speak for the party in answering
such questions as are being asked, be-
cause the only authorized expression
must come from the representatives of
the party in convention assembled. I
can only very briefly outline the situation
as it appears to me as a member of the
party.
l record my admiration for the silver
republicans of Madison county, and for
their evident determination to act in
one with another. They are no
incOnsiderable body of men. because they
constitute, as I believe. fully sixty per
cent of the republican voters of this
county. | need not refer to the causes
for which led to the formation of the sill
Yer republican party. The lessons of the
past are too fresh in mind to need re-
view. IL only email to apply these
lessons to the present. l believe no more
honest organization was ever found. It's
members sacrificed much and suffered
much for what they conceived and still
believe to be right.
The great lesson which they learned in
the campaign of 1898 is hat no confidence
can be placed in the profession of our
democratic friends of loyalty to the
cause of silver. On the contrary, the
campaign demonstrated most conclusive
w that fhnir oronf rrnn for w ,tyy CrOi1o

ton babe them farewell. Floral tributes
reached the delegates from all parts of the
country. A committee of the South Afri-
can Union presented the delegates with a
silver palm as an emblem of peace. Hymns
were sung. with the school children gath
cred at the station, and Messrs. Fischer
and Wolmerans made short speeches.
thanking the populace for the kindly re-
ception extended to them by people
united TO them by bonds of race and re-
ligion."
Regarding their visit to the United
States the ENJOYS made an authoritative
statement. They knew nothing of their
probable official reception. they said.
beyond the press reports. but hoped 10
awaken popular sympathy in America and
aid in bringing about the close of the war.
They would not say on what terms peace
proposals would be received by the Beers.
Mr.. Fisher further said: 1.-The principal
charge against US is that We have desired
and sought the war. We Will try TO demon
strate the falseness of this. We only de-
sire peace and the tranquil possession OF
what is as dear TO us as Ii is TO the Ameri-
can people-our independence without in
Juring the rights of other people. We do
not make appeal to one or the other OF the
American parties. but TO the American peo-
pie as a whole. hoping that all parties
will unite on this common platform, as the
grandeur of the American people will be
further increased If they aid little nation
in its combat for its right and liberty. Our
object is 10 end this cruel outpouring of
blood of all combatants, especially that of
our kindred in the Free State, who are in
dispenSable to our existence as nation.
We hope this appeal 10 the government and
the people of the United States will not
be in vain and that our way of carrying on
the war has demonstrated that we have the
right to demand an independent existence
for our people and country in South
