SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Gen. Johnson.
I'd hate to see you go. old friend,
I'd hate to see you go!
You took the hard knocks to the end
AS your part of the show.
You did just what YOU said you
would,
Although your role was rough.
You did the best that mortal could,
And surely that's enough.
I'd like to see you for a while
Rest in your Office chair
While gratefully folks came to smile,
All glad to speak you fair.
With me you often made a hit
And life was seldom slow.
That's why-though others have to
quit
I'd hate to see you go.

tangible and satisfactory. The Roose-
velt Democrats in New York have had
real battle to clear the decks OF the
opposition which rallied behind John
F. Curry, former Tammany boss. They
have been working for months to
clean up this situation in Democratic
politics in New York State. And
slowly but surely they have gained
ground. Now it appears that James
j. Dooling, choice of the admins

practically within his grasp. Curry
was ousted earlier in the year, after
much maneuvering. Edward ].

Old Gold Search In U. s.
 Develops Big Supply

The increased gold price and resultant search for old gold in the form of cu.dated jewelry and odds and ends of all kinds throughout the country has brought to light vast quantities of the precious metal.
 The treasury bought through the hints and assay offices in the first three and half months of 1884 a total of S43,- 297,712 worth of scrap gold. which is equal to the output of the gold mines of the country last year. It is estimated that gold to the value of S4,000,000 is being bought every week, or more than twice as much as Is mined. It is estimated that upward of a billion dollars worth of the metal still lies idle or forgotten n American homes.
