There's danger now for Uncle Sam
For all around and under,
Its nip and tuck, you must be quick
Or the ship will founder.

You're growing little musty,


The skies are bright, no foes in sight,


You need not be so tussy.

What was the nations bother,
And there we saw the lobby ring,
A grading at the larder.
CHoRUs-The Yankee blood has not run out


You'd better keep your temper;


So trim your bark, the ensign float,


And soon we'll have fair weather
There's danger yet for Uncle Sam,
The tramps getting plenty,
And what to do with idle boys
Who yet are under twenty,
CHoRUs-The Yankee blood has not run out


You'd better keep your temper,


Now mind your P's you'll not find peace


Until you find the halter.
Now pull the wire apply the strap,
And set them all to wedding,
Nor tail to feed them well at night
On milk and hasty pudding.
CHoRUs-The Yankee blood has not run out,


You'd better keep your temper,


There must be fun and yet no rum


And all the time fair weather.
The girls, how neat and prim they look,
On tiptOe they are skipping;
But bless my soul the yarns they spin,
Would make young mans mitten.
CHoRUs-The Yankee blood has not run out,


You'd better keep your temper;


Keep level heads and straight to bed,


And soon you'll have fair weather.
Now wake the echo blow the trump,
From Texas on to Jersey,
Nor let the sound grow less profound,
Till all are reused to duty.
CHoRUs-Theres danger yet for Uncle Sam,


For all are now in slumber,


Its nip and tuck you must be quick


Or all our hopes will founder.

Cor WELL FOR SPITE.-A Pittsburg
man was very i'll. He fell into stnpor
which lasted three or four days. He
was carefully watched by his wife and
one or two other ladies from the neigh
bOrbOod. One afternoon the attending
physician said he could not live through
the day, and the sorrowing wife, with
a view to having everything in readi-
ness for the end, held a consultation
with her friends as to the arrangements
for the funeral. The conversation was
held at the bedside of the dying man,
and in a short time all the details were
arranged except the names of those
who should be asked to. be pail bearers.

Many of us, most of us, have aspira-
tions and emotions for the expression
of which in words it is as if we were
voiceless and dumb, but which find
full and ready expression in music !;
even though, have sometimes thought,
the words which we freight with them
might be mere jargon. Under the
right circumstances, and given only a
touch, tone, sudden remembrance,
anything to unlock the emotions, and
the song goes forth, telling for every in
dividual singer different story. Per-
haps this is most noticeable in the midst
of sympathetic numbers, as in the
crowds who used to meet together
and sing out all their secret feeling in the
strange, unreal light of the Chicago
Tabernacle. shall never forget face
which saw there one stormy winter
afternoon; one which touched ME more
than any other of the many expressive
faces which l used to see there full of
emotion day after day. 1t was only an
everyday face, that of a worn old wo-
man dressed in deep mourning; and,
with family and friendly groups on ev-
cry side of her, seeming so alone in her
loneliness and old age. Was there any
thing in the words of the song, in the
singing of which she joined with her
tremulous tones, which could fitly ex-
press the emotion that filled face and
voice. The song was only one of the
many changes rung on the dear old
themes, yet the words came to my ear
freighted with her loneliness and yearn-
ing until l longed to place gently my
own in her poor, tired, empty hands, if
haply mine could in any measure fill
their emptiness; to say word which
might brighten the poor, withered, old
face, so utterly pathetic in its far-off
look of longing. Such a strangely far
away look it was, as if the yearning
eyes had sent their gaze over the ocean
in search of the lost ones, to where,
mayhap, their graves were made in
"the old country" and failing to find
them there had gone straight on into
the heavenly land.


Did she find them Who knows A.? But
the song whose musical strains gave
voice that day to her longing for the
dear, dead faces, will always be to her
in very truth ''sacred song" To one
heart, at least, cool, critical ANALYSIS
of its composition would be sacrilege.
To one or another of us perhaps this
would be true in regard to every one of
the familiar old songs. 1t is too late ;
we could not criticise them if we would.

Within the last few years there has been
expended a great deal Of inventive thought
and genius upon what may properly be
glassed as household articles, the most
noted results of which is the production
of the sewing machine, the wringer, the
washing machine, the carpet sweeper, &c.
Almost every week we chronicle the event
of some new invention by which the cares
and labOrs of housekeeping are lessened,
and wOman's work made easier.


The newest thing to challenge our at
tention and gladden. the heart Of the house
keeper, Is, what is called the NOVELTY
BRUSH HOLDER, CARPET STBETCIIER and
SwEEPEB, a very simple contrivance de-
signed to firmly hold in position any kind
of brush or duster; having an extension
handle that enables one to wash or dust
windows, walls ceilings without the aid
of a step ladder. That is one Of its con
veniences, and it Is also one of the best
carpet sweepers in the market, holding the
brush firmly at an angle. 1t cleans the
carpet thoroughly, raises no dust, and does
not wear the carpet like the ordinary
broom or brush, and will outwear hall
dozen brooms. As handle for the scrub
bing brush it is the best device ever made,
no more kneeling on the floor, no more
back aches or sore fingers.


As a carpet stretcher alone it is worth
its cost, as a carpet of any size can be laid
evenly without any of the labor and vexa-
tion usually attending such work. 1t is
strong, simple, thoroughly made, cannot
get out Of order, has no screws, lever or
hinges, is compact, cheap and durable.

of useful household articles, and Is sold by

utility Of this article will at once be seen
BY those most interested, and we predict
for it large sale. Every housekeePer IN
( the land will want one.

Chmcellor Haven, who was a passen.
ger on the City of Chester, from New
York, and was not sea-sick, has written
paper on the subject of sea-sickness
for the Syracuse Northern Christian Id
y0cdte, in which he says: 'My theory
of sea-sickness requires first that you
should know the cause. Now, the cause
is thatyou are subjected on shirbOard to
a chronic succession of earthquakes.
Whatever will neutralize earthquakes
will cure it. You look at the side of
your room, it is going down, down,
down. Then it cTeaks and turns about
and goes up, up, up. Then it wriggles.
Now one corner tips in one angle, and
now another corner tips in another
angle. You start to pick up your hat
and run against your roommate, or
plunge against the wall your head be-
gins to swim, and you begin either to
shrink into helpleSSness or TO resist and
try TO straighten things out. You say,
This shall not be- or you cover down
Ike a wretch. Now for the cure. Just
let it rock. Remember earthquakes
now are according to the order Of ma
ture. Put your mind into a condition
expressed in some such words as these I:
Rock away This is grand! This is
pushing ahead nobly over the waves!
Why shouldn't you rock You are
strong as the wisdom of men can make
YOU. Turn entirely over if you want to.
Icebergs could not crush YOU. And If
they should, what then? We might as
well die at sea as on land, and it would
be a noble DEATH By that time your
threatened weakness will begin to dis
appear, and you will feel like running,
though, if you attempt it, you may
find yourself engaged in a dance.
In other words, you must consent to let
the ship toss about without any muscular
or mental uneasiness, and then all tens
dency to sickness will disappear. Some
seem to do this unconsciously; others
will not do it until they are fairly driven
to it by an exhaustion that makes then
incapable of noticing anything. If you
cannot do this-why just suecumb to 1t.
No medicine can cure you"

The friends of the Examiners may
wonder that we have so much to
say concerning thems if we think
them capable and honest. The
trouble is just here. A teacher
thinks of something which he takes
to be of Importance, and calls the at
tentiOn of the class to it. When be
comes to make up his list Of ques-
tions for the examination of teach
ers, that thought is still in his mind,
and crops out IN the questions, much
to the benefit of his own pupils.
For this reason, we think it would
be better to have the questions pre-
pared by a State Board and sentout
to the different counties, the same in
each county. This idea does not
originate with us, as it is the plan

LOUISVILLE, August 26.-lt will be re-
membered that some weeks ago a horri-
BILE murder was committedin the eastern
part of Henry county, near small stream
called Sand Rifle, the particulars of
which were given at the time. In sub
stance the deed was the killing of one
negro man, the wOunding Of another,
and the burning OF the dead body of the
man killed, together with that of little
girl ten years old and an infant. After
a few DAYS four men were arrested. At
the preliminary hearing three of them
were held over to the Criminal Court,
without bail, and one was let loose be-
cause of the want of sufficient evidence.


A number Of worthy men conceived
plan to find out the guilty, and together
with citizens living in the neighborhood
where the crime was done, went at once
TO put it into execution. Not until last
night was anything known about the
intended capture, save to the few that
were working up the thing, They very
quietly left the town, after making such
provision as to insure safety against bull
LET'S, and went to Sand Rifle. The
country in this vicinity is very rough
and hilly, and is known as the Kuklux
country, and is the same where
the Simmons gang committed
their depredations, for which .hey were
hung four in number, by mob. The
men arrested were Jim Anes and War
rem Anes, Jack Estes, Clemp Oman, jim
Will Downev, Jim Estes and jeff
Oman, seven in number None resisted
arrest and all claim to be not guilty,
Allare unmarried young men, ranging
from IS to % years ofage. Itis claimed
by the arresting parties that the
evidence in their possession is
sufficiently strong to convict. A singu-
lar fact connected with the arrest is that
the whole number are grandsons of one
old lady named Mrs. Oman, who is now
about 81 years of age, and she was
greatly incensed at the arrest of her
boys" who, she claimed, had been
raised in a right manner.

the latter road, under direction OF Sup

over the Marietta and Cincinnati put
down Yesterday. The crossing was put
down on Sunday to prevent an lnJunc-
ton being issued against 1t, Receiver
King having refused TO grant the right
OF way until the latter was decided by
the courts, which does not convene
until October.


The Columbus and Maysville were
anxious to finish their road to town in
time for the Fair, and when news
reached the city this morning that the
crossing was being torn up, the utmost
excitement prevailed, and the sheriff in
structed the gang to desist, not, how
ever. until the track on either side OF
the Marietta and Cincinnati was torn
up, and a construction in the shape of a
side-track put down by the latter COM
pany to prevent a reCrossing. The officials
of the two roads had consultation with
each other and their attorneys, and
il was decided to let the matter rest for
a dav or so, the Marietta and Cincinnati
officials promising to use their influence
with Receiver King to allow the cross
ing to be put down temporarily until 1t
could be decided by the courts. The

crossing without any violence, and there
are prospects for more trouble in the
future.

The board of directors of the ChebOy-

meeting at the TRIBUNE office last Satur-

the fair Thursday and Friday, October

Board OF Supervisors having been seen
and their consent gained. This will
make it much more convenient and will

Horne was appointed to see to arrang-
ing the grounds, building the necessary
pens etc. for the accommodation of ex-
hlbltOrs. The premium list was con-
sldered and the list made out. The ag-
gregate amount to be awarded was in
creased somewhat over the amount of
last year, and was adopted with the un-
derstanding that if the receipts of the
society were sufficient, the premiums
would be paid in full, if not, they would
be paid pro rata. This is the same con-
dltlOn as announced last year. Then
they were paid in full and we have no
doubt but that the fair this fall will
prove equally successful, and the full
amount of the premiums will be paid.

MADRID, Dec. 12.-The political situation
here is extremely serious, and the King is
Fo-day placed in more critical position
than any he has hitherto occupied.


Two hostile officers are at work against
him and the new Cabinet which he has
called around him. One of these antagon-
istic elements represents the interests Of
shareholders in Cuba. and of that large
class of office-holders who have been ac-
customed to look upon Cuba as an mex
haustible source of revenue from which
they might enrich themselves.


The other cabal, working against the
King, and which has its affiliation with the
class just mentioned, are the partisans Of
Don Carlos, who work always in the dark.
and who have an influence altogether DIS
proportionate to their numbers.


Still it is asserted by those best convers-
ant with the real state of public opinion in
Spain that a great majority of the people.
even in the Basque Provinces,
and to considerable extent
in the cities on the Mediterranean coast,
are heartily in accord with the King, and
that an appeal to the people for an election
of new Cortes would result in the return
of Parliament having a strong majority
upon his side.
