Springfield, June, 24.--Gov. Palmer
to-day, in a letter to the deputy COLLEGE

to pay on income tax upon his salary

not base his action upon the ground
that in the act of Congress there is an

but on the declaration Of the Supreme

power to tax implies the power to des'

Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wilt thou be7
I A demon Of sin. or an angel sublime
A poison Upas or innocent Thyme


A spirit OF evil flashing dOtcn
With the lurid light Of fiery crown


Or gliding up with shining track,


Like the morning star that ne'er looks back
Daintest dreamer that ever smiled,


Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child7
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies. birds and flowers
Pure as the sparkling, crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth in their fairy eyes beam,
Was there evera whittier soul than thine
Worshiped by Love in a mortal shrine?
My heart hast thou gladdened for two sweet
with rainbows OF Hope through mists Of


tears


Mists beyond which thy sunny smile
With its halo OF glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
A gleam serene, not OF earth, but ofheaven.
With thy tell-tale eyes and pratling tongue,
Would thou couldst ever thus be young.
Like the liquid strain Of the mocking- bird,
From stair to hall thy voice is heard,
How oft in the garden hooks thou'rt found
With flowers thy curly bead around!
And kneeling beside me with fingers so


quaint,


ON who would not dote on my infant saint?
Beautiful child. what thy fate shall be
Perchance is wisely hidden from me.
A fallen star thou mayst leave my side,
And of sorrow and shame, become the bride,
Shivering, quivering through the cold street,
With a curse behind and before thy feet
Ashamed to live, and afraid to die;
No home, no friend, and a pitiless sky,
Merciful Father my brain grows wild,
Oh! keep rom evil. my beautiful child!
Beautiful child, mayst thou soar above,
a warbling cheruh OF Joy and love,
A drop on Eternity's mighty sea,
A blossom on LIES immortal tree
Floating, Towering evermore
In the blessed light OF the golden shorei
And as gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiantface, they dispel my gloom
feel He Will keep thee undetiled,
And His love will protect my beautiful child.

l see in the Editorial notes from
the State Capital' that some of the
Republicans introduced a resolution
proposing an amendment to the State
Constitution, pro viding that the
electors should determine whether
they desired the ballot to be given to
the women of the State, reading thus:
1.-THE right to vote in this State shall
not be denied or abridged on account
of SEX" which did not meet the ap-
proval of the Democratic party from
the fact that if all women were given
the elective franchise, colored or black
women would be included.


What catastrophe that would be!
Wonder if the few cOlOred women in
the State of Ohio, ignorant as they
may be, are not about as well qualifi-
ed to vote understandingly, as the
thousand and one ignoramuses-Ger
man, Irish and, lastly, Americans
who go to the polls every year of their
lives after they are q years of age,
and help to make laws by which IVe
are governed. One-third of whom
can be bought with a dram of poor
whiskey. They never. pause for q
moment TO realize the effect of a sim
gle vote, or If they do, haven't brains
enough to understand what they are
doing. Lame ercuSe.

The New York papers publish a record
made up from old diaries of the weather
during the winter which elapsed between
1889 and 1882. The table gives the dates
of the closing by ice of the Hudson river,
and of the opening of navigation in the
spring. No general rule as to the regular
alienation of mild and severe weather can
be laid down from this table. Of these
forty-two winters sixteen were mild, but
some of them occurred in immediate sue
cession. Thus from 1892 to 1896 there
we're four mild winters, then from 1896 to
1899 three severe, from 1899 to 1904 five
mild winters; then a succession of mild
and severe winters until 1911, when long
series of eighteen severe winters set in,
broken only by three mild winters. The
record would have been more valuable had

In spite of the efforts of the anti mother
in-law society, the New York courts have
refused to allow DIR. Lewis to keep his
child that he stole from its mother in
Boston @ few weeks ago. A Boston letter
to a Western paper gives this early history
OF the case, which abundantly shows why
even an offensive mother-in-law could not
save him from public condemnation and
the adverse decision Of the court


'Ten years ago, or thereabouts,
wealthy family resident in RoXbury, taking
an interest III promising young man
named Lewis, who was poor and almost
friendless, bestowed many favors upon
him. They sent him to school and college,
allowing him the means of living hand
somely and moving in the best society,"
After graduating he expressed a desire to
study medicine, and his kind benefactors,
to whose charity there seemed to be no
limit, paid the expense of his professional
studies. Having become established as @
physician, With good prospects of success,
he sought and won the hand of q daughter
of the family to which he was 80 deeply
indebted. For her marriage portion she
received handsome fortune, which the
doctor turned speedily to account He set
up dashinS equipage and launched out
into course OF luxurious living most edi-
tying to the curious public, and especially
CALLING to his less fortunate brother prac-
titioners. He was very handsome man,
dressed elegantly, and possessed remark
able powers Of fascination. But these de-
sirable attributes proved his ruin. He
learned, it IS said, to love the society Of
other women better than his Wife's, and to
wage steady warfare against the
ever-victorious "tiger." OF course these
pursuits seriously interfered with the elfaith-
ful discharge of his domestic duties. and
dlsegreements arose between him and his
wife. Instead OF mending his ways, he
went on from bad to worse, until at last
the long-sullcriug wife instituted proceed
lngs Tor divorce. An order of court,
pending the decision on the libel, gave her
the custody of their only child, girl of
seven years, but allowed her father to see
the latter twice week, at a place to be
agreed upon. This happened about six
months ago. Since that time the two have
lived apart; but the doctor has availed
himself of his privilege to see his daughter,
calling for that purpose at the ST. James
| Hotel. The mother has feared that he
would try to strike her through her child,
and has exercised the utmost watchfulness
on tho occasion of these interviews. But
the Doctor proved too smart for her. Last
Saturday week the child was sent in a car
rage to the st. James in company with
relative OF the mother. The Doctor was
| left alone with her, and when the time of
the interview two hours) had passed, she
| had disappeared, and has not been seen
slnce by her heart-broken mother. There
can be no doubt but that the Doctor has
stolen the child, hoping through the DOS
| session of her to drive the mother to
make advantageous pecuniary terms with
himself.
