Senator J. J. Ingalls, on ''Grass."

A number OF years ago Senator In
gals of Kansas, now deceased, pro-
noaueed, ia the midst of speech in
the United States senate, a tribute to
grass which in its way is a classic. 1t
is especially timely and appropriate at
the present time and we reproduce a
portion OF it today for the benefit Of
our readers:
Next i'll Importance to the divine
profuaion Of watar, light and air, three
physical facts which render existence
possible, may be reckoned the univer
sal benelicence Of grass. Lying in the
sanshine among the dandelions and
buttercups Of May, scarcely higher in
intelligence THAN these minute tenants
Of that mimic wilderness, our earliest
recollectionS are of grass; and when the
htfui fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle OF the market aud the forum
is closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom of
the earth has made, and the carpet Of
the infant becomes the blanket Of the
dead Grass is forgiveness of nature,
her constant Denediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with ruts OF cannon, grown
green again with grass, and carnage is
forgotten; streets abandoned Dy traffic
become grass grown, like rural lanes
and are obllterated; forests decay, har-
vests perish aud flowers vanish, but
grass is immortal; Delabored by the
suIlen aosCS OF Winter, 1t draws into
the impregnable fortress of its own
subteranean Vitality and emerges upon
The solicitations OF Spring; soWn by the
| winds, by wondering birds, propagated
by the subtle horticulture of the ele-
ments which are its ministers and ser
wants, i. softens the rude outlines OF
the world; It, eVaaes the solitude of
deserts, climbs the inaccessible slopes
and plnnaGles OF mountains and mode
lies the history, character and destiny
Of nations. IlobErusive and patient, il
has immoral yigor and aggession, il
abdes us lime TO return and when
viz uanue is rela q, OF the dynasty has
peIisiietii, it silently resumes the throne
from which it has been expelled bu
from which it never abdicates. 1t bears
nO blazouery of bloom to charm The
sences with fragrance or splendor, but
its horaly has is more enhancing than
the lily or the rose. 1t yisids no frui
in earth or air. yet should its naryes
fail for a single year, famine woulo
dep0plate the world.

line for it's northern street, wants Butte
county seat. There is plenty of division

roo MUCH FoR MAIDS NERVES.
New Girl Felt Herself Unequal to
Elaborate Ceremony.

The, young wife was perhaps the
most punctilious housekeeper in the
greater city. She fairly lived for the
humiliation of dust particles, and her
three maids knew a degree Of disci.
pine more rigid than that of Gen.
Blucher. One day her waitress de-
parted, an exceedingly common occur
renee in even fiawless establish
ment. A new maid came to take her
place. After an elaborate inquisition,
the new servant was engaged on pro-
baton. The young wife explained:
Come to the dining room with me.
You viii have a rehearsal. want to
see you spread the table for a dinner
Tor four. Now go into the pantry,
where you will find my table china on
indexed shelves. My forks are all
labeled and shall sit here. Now you

The new maid CROPPED through the
weird ceremony, and the foodless feast
proceeded amid silence. Finally the
maid whimpered:
