PENDENNIs.

A locomotive engineer on an Eastern
railroad said one day to his two fire.
men: Suppose you fellows work as
if you and not the company were pay
ing the coal bills" During six months,
merely by careful firing, the men
caused saving in coal over the aver
age consumption of the engine, equal
to almost four times the wages paid to
the men for that period. Thee engine
was the same; the men worked differ.

Ode.

Old earthen water jar, how good thou art,
Lonely jar of my companionship,
To my trembling, thirsty lips I lift thee,
And from thee in sweet consolation sip
Nectar of the spring, cool from thy brim.
When mind runs dry, seems parched the soul
drink I
Then of thy liquid heart, brown water jar,
Thy cheering spirits freely imbibe;
More priceless draught from thee is by far
Than wine from golden chalice brirn.

Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust win find the sword of fame,
The dust can hide the crown,
Aye, none shall nail his name so high
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat,
Was in some quiet breast,
That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to heaven the rest.

The winds of autumn wall and sigh
About the fenced fold;
The far, free reaches of the sky
Have lost their blue and gold;
And thou, my heavy heart. and thou
DOst sorrow with the leafless bough.
How tender sweet and vanished days,
And yet how winged fleet!
Alas! but gray and sodden ways
Now Ope before my feet;
And love, that gave the summer grace,
COnceals the sunlight of his face.

The Federal Union.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
UR political institutions are
commonly called: The gov
ernment of the Unite
States, or Our republican
form of government. Neither of these
definitions is complete, altho both re-
veal the principles upon which the
government is founded. The nation
is not governed by the states united,
=bnt by the federation of them into
central government. To call the
American federal union republic
'BeuId not be stating conclusive fact,
for the political methods of other re-
pnblics are somewhat different from
those we practice. France has strong
central government without local in
dependence. Switzerland has fexi-
BILE central government, which grants
to the smallest village complete inde-
pendence in local affairs. Both of
these governments are called republics;
but Switzerland is a federal union,
while France cannot be designated as
such. When the present republic of
France was established, the kingdom
was broken up into departments for
the purpose of government; therefore
the republic of France is not the feder-
alton of political aggregates into feder-
al union, but is the kingdom dismem-
bered into departments for the pur-
pose of administration. The federal
nnion of Switzerland is composed of
states, or cantons, federated into a
central government, and is perhaps
more complete example of federal
union than is onr own government.
The political wisdom embodied in
tho principles of federal union is the
result of centuries of experience. The
FIRST attempt men made at government
WAS during the nomadic period of
primitive life, when those related by
blood were drawn together Ly common
interest into group of fam lilies OR a
elan. As time passed a clan would
setl,e at some favorable locality, and
other clans would seek to enjoy the
same natural advantages, thus estab-
fishing village community. Next
in order came the organizing of the
villages into shires, and from that
grew Kingdoms and nations. This is
the order in which the political aggre.
gates of Europe grew into nations
Ii you will study the political history
of ancient Greece you will see that heI
statesmen made an attempt at federal
union when Eleusis and Marathon
and the other rural towns of Attica
were incorporated with Athens. The
attempt failed through want of a prec
edent to show the value of admitting
delegates armed with plenary power
into central council established fol
the Durpose of transacting the polltica
business of the league. The statesmen
Of that time held the sovereignty ol
the cities sacred, and the idea of thu
cities maintaining their control ovel
local affairs and still taking an active
part in the government of the entir,

rogated the treaty, and the development OF the
West had quickly responded TO the favorable
status quo. Rumors OF Napoleon's ambitions to
retrieve the humiliation of 1763, and to re-es-
tablish the dominion OF France IN America by
securing the retrocession of Louisiana from
Spain, seemed full of foreboding to the future Of
the West. Jefferson at once determined TO use
every effort to purchase the Floridas and New
Orleans from France, and, backed by Congress,
sent Monroe as special envoy to treat with Ma
poleon. notifying Livingston, our Minister to
France, OF his mission. In the mean time, he
organized the expedition. under Lewis and Clark.

restricted concessions for which Monroe was
authorized to treat, are now well known. and
are admirably set forth by Mr.. Ogg, who writes
with much interesting detail, also Of the way in
which Congress met the problem presented by
the unexpected acquisition of Louisiana and
committed the United States 10 it's policy of
territorial expansion. He ends his story with
an account of the establishing Of the American
regime in New Orleans and the new Louisiana,
and of the final removal of the river and its

ing a new bridge at Remsterville in AL

ed away by the recent storm. Director
Ayres presided and all the members pre-
sent except Mr.. Borton and Mr.. Burk.
A bridge was erected there two wears
ago alter a heavy rain, but as soon as the
dam breaks the bridge is swept away. 1t
was decided to build a one-span bridge
40 feet long and set the abuttments fur
ther back to get a better foundation. The
cost will be about 500.

records were needed before they could

prepare these records would take the
Clerk about two weeks and it was the
opinion of the members that there was

issuance of the bonds. The members
suggested to the Clerk that he make re.
ply to the letter stating that there was

if without this the firm cannot take the

will return the certified check immediate
