Where the faded flowers shall freshen,
Freshen never more to fade;
Where the shaded sky shall brighten,
Brighten never more to shade;
Where the blaze never scorches;
Where the star-beams cease to chill;
Where no tempest stirs the echoes
OF the wood, or wave, or hill;
Where the morn shall wake in gladness.
And the noon the joy prolong;
Where the daylight dies in fragrance,
Mid the burst OF holy song:


Brother, we shall meet and rest


Mid the holy and the blest!
Where no shadow shall bewilder;
Where life's vain parade is o'er,
Where the sleep of sin is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more;
Where the bond is never severed
Partings, claspings, sob and moan
Midnight waking, twilight weeping,
Weary noontide-all are done;
Where the child has found its mother,
And the mother finds the child;
Where our families are gathered,
That were scattered on the wild


Brother, we shall meet and rest


Mid the holy and the blest
Where the hidden wound is healed;
Where the blighted life re blooms;
Where the smitten heart the freshness
OF its buoyant youth resumes;
Where the love that here we lavish
On the withering leaves of time,
Shall have fadeless flowers to fix on
In an ever spring bright cline;
Where We find the joy of loving,
As we never loved before
Loving on, unchilled, unhindered,
Loving once and evermore:


Brother, we shall meet and rest


Mid the holy and and the blest!
When blasted world shall brighten,
Underneath bluer sphere;
And softer, gentler sunshine,
Shed its healing splendor here;
Where earth's barren wales shall blossom,
Putting on their robes of green,
And purer, fairer Eden,


Be where only wastes have been;
Where KING in kingly glory;
Such as earth has never known,
Shall assume the righteous sceptre,
Claim and wear the holy crown:


Brother, we shall meet and rest,


Mid the holy aad the blestl

The lively ;nteres. manifested by the
Piccyunc and the rebel element generally,


in the Railey-Cohen trial is really very
damaging to the prisoners. It is construed
by the Republicans. who rule this coun-
try at present. into strong evidence Of the
guilt of the accused. And if the intelli-
gent jury upon whose verdict their liberty
and reputation depend. were to be ap-
priced of the great effort that is made to
screen them. it would undoubtedly create q
prejudice against the prisoners. There is
nothing in the history Of either Mr.. Cohen
or Mr.. Railey to enlist public sympathy.


They each have their personal friends OF
course, bu: were generally unknown
to the public. Neither has ever
been prominent for anything in this
community until their names were
mentioned in connection with an attempt
to assassiuats Republican Governor.

We find in the Bee very excellent
essay upon the importance Of progress and
the disadvantages of an obstructive policy.
This is applied in unqualified approval Of
the railroad on Royal street. The Bee
condenses the present discomfort with
that work into two objections: /. That
the road will offer a serious objection to
the "circulation' Of passengers. 2. It
will interfere with the loading and dis
charge Of goods from the stores on Royal
street. These objections the Bee has
shown to be unfounded. We will add an
argument on the American principle that
the proper way Of using anything IS in
the direction Of its greatest utility. 4
street is a mode Of providing
for the intercourse Of the pub
lie. Stores are located on a street
because it affords the best access to GUS
toners. II. then. a railroad conveys more
people with greater speed, economy and
comfort than is found in other modes Of
movement, the car becomes an incident
to the use Of the street. and enables it
to perform its ofice CT intercourse with
more efficiency.

s:ructed dis:ric: to spread her parasol and

If the merchant finds, for want OF faciii-
ties now ordinary in every American city.
that the movement Of customers in front
Of his store is diminished. then he is
much more interested in bringing
these customers by way Of his store
all day long than ne is in hay

once a day. Indeed. unless the passen-
gers are restored upon the street, the use
Of this wagon becomes every day less and
less important. Many. many merchants
on Chartres. Royal and Bourbon streets,
finding tina. the customers no longer came
to them, have removed their stores to
where the customers chiefly congregate.

defending their characters, when holders
Of deadhead stock are hauled up on
requisitions for contributions, and
especially when the great railroad
rings have evoked the indomiteble
association OF farmers who smash
rates and party tickets as an irate
bull would Liverpool ware, it does not look
as if these smart men were so very saga
cious after all. If they personally get away
with few thousands they leave desola-
ton and ruin in the vested interests Of
hundreds, many Of whom are innocent
ard deserving.


We can not suppose the smart men who
raised railroad rates on the Iowa and Hi
nois farmer so as 20 leave him but peck in
his own bushel Of corn, grown on his own
farm and produced with his own toll, tha.
these men in their might would have
turned out Republican judge for ruling
adverse to their interests. Yet these IN
dignant farmers have just beaten Judge
Lawrence. Of Illinois. on precisely that
issue.


Now we wish those resolute and sturdy
farmers would turn their attention in this
direction. There is the Mississippi.
which is their great ally and defender
against railroad rings. 1t needs govern
ment aid from St. Louis to Cairo and from
the Belize to the sea. It is even intimated
that there is a little ring arrangement
which inpedes the business of their grain
ships to the world market. Why will not
this giant Of the oranges turn his stalwart
arm to the great river? Why not
strangle this ring republic, if there be any,
which obstructs this great commercial
artery? When the farmers shall have
twisted and broken these little rings Of
the 'ssmart" men, let them remember the
Mississippi and instruct their members Of
Congress to see that this great outlet is
open and kept open, deepened and kept
deep at the public expense, and if there
be any ring worms let them be driven out
with the yermifuge of agricultural !ndig-
nation or consigned to the ignoble noto-
riety Of an alcohol bottle, as lesson to

Miss Susan Anthony has been rewarded
by verdict Of guilty for her temerity in
asserting that mother has, under the
constitution of the United States, the
same right with her son. But warned by
the entangling alliance with George
Francis Train. who would not quit the
Jail though the doors were left open and
the jailor implored him to depart. the
judge imposes fine of one hundred dol
lars upon Miss Anthony for her
attempt to vote, but expressly
stipulates that she shall not be impris-
oned until she pays it. So Miss Anthony
'goes hence without day." and can not
intrude herself again into the prisoners

suffrage rights, not at least until after an
other election. We have stated that the
decision RENTS this question Of female
right to the State tribunals and Legisla-

A little school girl in Iowa, twelve years of
age, has written the following explicit de-
scription of the effects of stroke of light
ming;


Il must tell you what happened yesterday
our school house was struck by lightning.
There were eleven scholars in it when it was
struck, and the teacher was sitting under the
chimney. None of us knew anything for
five minutes 1t struck the chimney, and
tore down the siding of the north end and
threw it eighty rods, and scattered the bricks
all around in promiscuous manner. 1t
burst the plastering most all off the north
end; it burst the window lights, and the
damper that was under the stove; it threw it
on one of the seats and broke a piece off it,
and it came within six inches of hitting
Earnest Welch. 1t threw the lime all over
the house, so that we could not see anything; !;
but we saw the ball of fire right before our
eyes. 1t broke the stove and cracked it in
several places; then it went through the floor,
under the stove. 1t broke three boards under
}he stove out entirely. After the teacher left
her chair, the plastering fell down it and
covered it all over; but the best of all is,
there was none of us hurt. I wish l could
describe it half as bad as it is, but I can't.
We were most all scared to death. There is
not bit of the chimney left"

In this city there is a physician who has
won considerable fame from the successful
cures he has made both in medicine and sur
gerry. For some years past, the doctor says,
whenever one OF his patients dies, no matter
where he is, what time, day or night, small
white butterfly comes directly to him and fits
about until it has attracted his notice, when
it departs. The moment the doctor sees the
little winged messenger of death he is made
aware of the demise of his patient; and If
at night the notice comes to him he invaria-
bly, remains in his Office in the morning to
give certificate of death.


The first time the doctor ever saw this
butterfly was few years ago, while he was
looking at the boldly of dead child, which
was very dear to him, and the butterfly
alighted on the breast of the child and there
remained, slowly raising its wings up and
down, until the body was closed up in its lit
tie coffin. A few evenings since, while the
doctor was attending patient in Clark place,
the butterfly entered the window and COM
menced fitting about the doctors head. He
looked up at it, and one of the ladies in the
room, thinking it annoyed him, said: ''Oh,
leave it alone; it will soon burn its wings by
the blaze of the gas" mo, it WON'T" re-
piled the doctor, lit has come on a mission,
and will soon disappear. l have just lost u
patient, and in the evening shall be called
upon for certificate of death"


Sure enough the next morning the father
of the child that had died the night before,
called upon the doctor and notified him of the
loss of his little one. This is only one of
the many instances where the doctor has re-
ceived this strange visitation, and kept re-
cord of the circumstances, besides calling
the attention of those present to the fact of
the butterfly warning of death among his
patients.

For two hours before the rain Saturday
the heat was intense. Not n breath of air
stirred, and the leaves on the trees were as
motiOnless as monumental fund.
When you see a little girl with odd CATERS
on her feet, a crownless jockey on her head,
three brown-paper packages in her arms, and
a mouthful of candy, you may know her
mother is washing.


At one time Saturday there were five bald
headed men in one of our dry goods stores,
looking vacsntly about, and each one thought
fully rubbing his head with finger that had
thread tied about it.


This is the height of preserving season.
We saw through the window of Wooster
street house, Saturday, shirt-sleeved man
trying to pull off pair of boots, and heard
him say quite plainly "Jam the jam stuff

"What shall l give my boy to make him

ate father. Education and moral precepts
were once required to accomplish this purpose
but diamond pin now covers the ground.


An aged couple ON Wooster street are
very fond of checkers, and play quite fire.
quently.I When he beats at the game she
losses her temper, and declares she will not
play again. 1t vexes him to have her act so,
but he controls the irritation, and talks to
her about it.. He tells her how wrong it is
by such trifes, and shows her so nearly the
folly of such course that she becomes
ashamed of such weakness, and returns to the
game, and plays it SO well that she beats
him. Then he throws the checkers in one
direction, and kicks the board in another,
and says he will never play with anybody
who cheats 30 alfiredly, and stalks moodily
to bed, and leaves her toa,ick up things.

DITCH CoMPLETED.-The new ditch Of
Chapman and Fisher to their claims on
the high benches above Soldiers Bar, is
completed and will be used this coming
Winter. The new ditch is one hundred
feet higher than the old ditch from which
they have heretofore worked, and will
furnish a pressure of over 200 feet to the
bedrock. The claim is heavy one to
work, powders the size of small house
being sometimes met with which were
hard to work around with the old style of
hydraulic, but the way the boys will be
rugged up this year, with big pipe and a
Dictator" and pressure to match, they
will be able to sweep all earth and gravel
from around such ''pebbles" and not be
bothered with having to break them up to
get them out of the way. The new style
of mining is destined to work quite rev.
luton in the manner of working some
of the heavy gravel claims of this county.

preparatory to adding thirty boxes on the

added to the head of the hume, so there
will be total Of over fifty boxes added
this year. If the sign of wet Summer
in Mexico being invariably followed by a
wet Winter in California, holds true in
the present instance, it is more than prob
able that the capacity of the tlume to car
ry Weaver Creek when in food will be
tested this Winter.

PROBABLY THE LAsT.-It comes to us
this time as having occurred between
Junction City and Hay Fork. Though
we have, through the JOURNAL on two
several occasions demonstrated to the
Trinity public an indisputable fact yet we
are called upon to do SO once more and
probably for the last time this season.
In the Hay Fork Valley there lives,
moves and has his being an adept in bee
hunting, He practiced it in early youth,
in that land where the old man ordered
the pumpkin to be divided between the
stranger and his horse quick as he found
that he could play the "turn of that tune"
The bee hunter of the Rackensacks felt
called upon to pursue his old vocation
here, and met with success. He found a
bee tree and hicd to Junction City to tell
his good fortune. His confdant was not
"doubting Thomas" but believing
one, and after due consultation they con-
cluded that there would be more honey
than they needed, and much might result
by "Given" some of it to the right person.
The party went forth and cut down the
a. bee tree," and the result of that labor
is the following conclusions


First. That for and during the first
year, that yellow jackets only find tree
and colonize.


Second. That during the second year
they make and lay up honey.


Third. That in the third ye ar they eat
up all the honey laid up the year before.


Fourth. That they (the party had
found and cut down the tree in the third
year.

SETTLING THE RoAD.-Teams return
ing from Douglas City generally take the
piece of new road along the mountain
side, opposite the mouth of Democrat
Gulch. We presume teamsters desire to
settle the track somewhat before the Fall

the creek does well enough in the Sum-
mer time, but the new piece of road will
be valuable after Winter sets in when the
creek road becomes almost impossible.

The proprietors of the Cleveland Her
aid have recently applied an apparatus
to their Office chimney which is claimed
to be perfect preventive os smoke and
a great saver of fuel. The discovery,
which the Herald thinks is very valu-
able one, was purely accidental. A
mechanic of that city was trying to
secure better draft for sluggish fire,
and the thought occurred to him after
other devices had failed to try the
the effects of steam. A small pipe was
made to conduct the " dry steam" from
the top of the boiler to the upper part
of the furnace, where it entered in two
small Jets striking downward on the
burning fuel. No sooner was the steam
injected into the furnace than the slug
gish, smoky fire sprang up into the
clear, bright, yellowish hot flame, filing
the whole furnace with a loud roar.
The man found he had not only secured
a strong draft, but something much
more important, a smokeless fire. As
an experiment the apparatus was attach
ed to the furnace of the Herald engine,
which was converted from neighbor-
hood nuisance of smoke and SCOT into q
smokeless fue.

An English scientist has lately been
calculating the theory that all volcanic
action is the result of the cooling Of the
materials inside of the earth, and the
contraction of the earth's crust in conse-
quence. The hotter internal nucleus
contracts faster than the cooler external
crust, and the latter forces its way down
upon the former. This shrinkage is
competent, in his opinion, to account for
all the phenomena of volcanic action.
In the distant ages, when the earth was
still fashioning, the shrinkage produced
the irregularities of level which We rec
ognize in the elevation of land and the
depression of the ocean-bed. Then came
the period when, as the crust shrank, it
formed corrugations in other words,
when the foldings and elevations OF the
somewhat thickened crust gave rise to
the mountain-ranges on the earth. Last
ly as the globe gradually lost its ex-
tremely high state of temperature, the
continuance of the same process of
shrinkage led no longer to the formation
of ridges and table-lands, but to local
crushing down and dislocation. This
process is still going on, and Mr.. NAL
let not only recognizes here the origin
of earthquakes and of the changes of
the level now in progress, but the cause
of volcanic heat. The modern theoryof
heat as form of motion here comes into
play. As the solid crust closes in upon
the shrinking nucleus, the work expend-
ed in crushing down and dislocating the
parts of the crust is transformed into
heat, by which, at the places where the
process goes on with the greatest ener-
gy, the material of the rock so crushed
and of that adjacent to it are heated
even to fusion. The access of water to
such points determine volcanic erup-
ton,
