Oh, for a glimpse Of n natural boy
boy with freckled face,
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid Of grace;
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster vslcn
You give him word OF praise;
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shcl
To cat his "picce" with rcsounding smack,
Who isn't gone on himself;
A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash,
Who knows the use Of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash
It's true he'll sit In the easiest chair
With his hat on his toused head;
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread,
But he doesn't dub his father "old man"
Nor deny his mothers call
Nor ridcue what his elders say
Or think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF good old fashioned clay
God bless him, ii he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day!

Devastating Power of Locusts.

A swarm of these insects stopped the
advance of Russian army. They
filed the air and blinded both officers
and men, SO that the former could give
no orders, and even if they had done so
the men could not have obeyed them.
The horses would not face them, and
they~lay on the ground many inches
thick. Every man and horse in the
army was incrusted with the Insects,
and their clothing was literally eaten
off the men as they stood helpless and
blinded. The railways were useless,
as the locusts covered the rails, and the
oil which eXuded from their bodies
when crushed prevented the driving
wheels from "biting." After they had
settled whole regiments were detached
for the purpose of trampling them to
death. Trenches were dug across their
path and flled with burning Goals, but
the cpowding swarms actually smother
ed tke Gre, SO vast We're their numbers.
Even Ia little island like Cyprus In
one gear sss-fifth of the entire revenue
was speHt in destroying the locusts,
and especially their eggs. When these
eggs are laid. they are inclosed in a
horny envelope called a pod each
pod containing 80 eggs. In seven
months 1880 tons of pods were de-
stroyed. Nov, a single ton of pods
contains e0,0eo,00 eggs, and yet, in
spite of this almost incredible destruc-
ton, the l6custs are still dreadful
plague and shew little If any symptoms
of dininution In numbers.

Weakness of the Statesman.
The New York Herald tells how
diplomatic young lady who understood
the weakness of politicians secured
some years ago a place in the stale
service.

session Il shy girl knocked at the door
of the attorney generals office.
rs the attorney general inY she
asked timidly.
Yes" said the clerk. Gle will see
you when he gets through with this
long line of job hunters. Just have
seat"
In the numerous chairs, on the office
lounge and standing were 20 more
waiting for a turn to press some claim
for position.
The attorney general was rather n
gruif looking man, and he dismissed
each with the remark: 81 can't do any
thing for you. Sorry, you know, but
there are hundreds of applicants, and
each officer, every legislator, has a
dozen begging for each position"
When the timid girls turn came, she
handed the impatient looking officer n
letter. She said nothing. She hardly
looked into his face
Pm sorry, Miss c., that l can do
nothing for you. 1t was foolish for you
to come here expecting to get work. I'd
be glad to help you if l could; but, you
see, it's this way: | have no influence

GILr-EDGED BONDS FOR FUEL.
A E.-ce of Men Feed a Furnace foE
Week with Carnegie Conn
pany Securities.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 15.-The Com
mercial Gazette to-day says:
"After supplying fuel for a close
furnace for a week securities repro
senting over one hundred and ffty
million dollars of Pittsburgh wealth
lie smouldering in the great armor
plate vault of the Union Trust Co., OF
Pittsburgh. They were the giltedged
securities of the Carnegie company,
the launching of which signalized the
practical close of the famous business
quarrel of Andrew Carnegie and Hen
ry c. Frick.
The bonds of the greatest industrial
corporation of the world, until the
United States Steel corporation was
formed, were of such bulk that they
would completely fill to the ceiling a
room IL by IL. For round week
there was kept busy at the Union
Trust Co. force of men to feed the
furnace fire which destroyed the Sc
curities. The great pile of gold bonds
has passed out of existence and with
the crematory pile of ashes there is
born assurance that the United States
Steel corporation is a thing real and
living.
OF the Carnegie bonds it is we'll
known that there are $l60,000,000, but
less than $1O,0OO,000 were not turned
in to the trust company. Part OF
these may be accounted for in the S5,-
900, 900 bond trust of Andrew Carnegie
for the Homestead, Duquesne and
Braddock Carnegie libraries, and for
a death and accident benefit and PEN
sion fund for the men of the Carnegie
company.
To the unsophisticated in bonds the
bulk of the destroyed issue may be in
conceivable. The bonds destroyed
had a face value varying from $1,000
to $4,000. Their receipt and filing for
the Union Trust Co. vault fire was the
work of month for the bank en-
ployes.

DAMAGES FOR YARMOUTH.
A New York Jury Decides That the
Noble Earl Has Been
Slandered.
HET1Y GREEN STOOD S1ANcALY BY HIM
The Verdict Awarded Him f@,"o0
Damages Against the New YORK
Telegraph, which Published "
Scathing Criticism of the Earl
and His Career.

New York, May 15.-The earl OF
Yarmouth has been awarded S2,5Oo
damages by the jury in his SUIT
against the Telegraph. The news
paper had published scathing crlti-
cism of the earl, who has beer known
on the stage under the name OF Eric
Hope" He was termed a "degener-
ate" "back number" and for
tune hunter"
The taking Of testimony in the earl
of Yarmouth's libel suit was conclud-
ed without the calling of Miss Silvia
Green to the witness stand. Miss
Green is the daughter of Hetty Green.
One of the allegations was that the
earl was fortune hunter and had
come to the United States simply to
get rich woman to marry him. 1t
was understood that Miss Green had
been subpoenaed with the intent to
prove that Yarmouth had wooed her.
Yarmouth says that Miss Green was
not the only rich woman summoned
by the defense. He said that he knew
Mrs. John Ninton Dahlgren, whose en-
gagement to Harry Lehr was recently
reported, was second, and there
were still others. He says he had
only the slightest and most formal
acquaintance with them.
As soon as he heard that Miss
Green had been subpoenaed he APP
preached Mrs. Green and offered to
drop his suit, as he said that in En-
gland no gentleman would go on
with suit that involved young
lady in unpleasantness. Mrs. Green
replied, according to the earls story:
"Why, young man, don't you think
of withdrawing that suit. If you
have good case, fight it. That's what
j do. You go right ahead with your
suit. My daughter will be there, ana
her testimony will not do you any
harm. I'll be there myself, too. II
you are proved to be the sort of man
they say you are, we will not have
anything more to do with YOU
In concluding his evidence Var
mouth again put the laugh" on the
opposing counsel. He was asked:
"How do you pass your time? Have
you anything to do except to sleep
and eat?"
80, yes. ! sleep and eat and walk
and visit friends and hear music, and
] manage to live somehow
But do you have any serious pur-
suit?'
81 look for employment"
"You consider that n serious bust
ness?"
every serious"
but You never get anything to do
"That's still more serious"
Mr.. Wollman glared at the witness,
while the rest of the folks in the
court room laughed loud and long,
