Hi
Thomi D. Reed In Roma.
Behold me a I stand,
Where Kome has Blood
Ior twice a thousand years
And more!
Hehold us both:
Me and Kome!
.And then, clear friends,
I'leane give your eyes a rent.
Kome Iiuh her hiH'iory,
And I have mine;
Ihit Rome, although nhe Bat
Upon her neven hillH
And ruled the world,
Never Hat in the speaker'H chair
Of the J'ifly-lirHt congre.su
And bowsed that
Me-gnt herian nggregation
As I did.
And that i where I've got
The bulge on Rome!
Here in old Camir'H district
I Hit me down, and with iny feet
Upon hin ancient mantelpiece
I feel at home.
Me and Cienai!
Twin HtarH that twinkle through all
time,
Two iron heels that trod as one
Upon the people's necks.
And then we got it in our own!
By gonh! dear friends, I don't like
that A little hit,
And Ca-sar didn't, either,
Although he didn't have a
Word to Hay after it was over,
For obvious reasons!
Hut Hrutus wasn't a patching
To Springer of Illinois,
Or Rogers of Arkansas;
And Ciesar has something
To be thankful for!
I'm with you, Rome,
From the I'assamaquoddy's
Tumbling tide of sawlogs
To where the tawny Tiber flows,
And we should organize
A Reed and Roman trust,
And swipe the universe!
Are there objections?
I hear none.
The ayes seem to have it!
The ayes have it!
Then let her go, Gallagher!
But I shall never think
That in that elder day
To be a Roman
Was greater than a speaker
Of the grand old Fifty-first.
And don't you forget it!
That's what! !

In the middle of a crowd of men
on O street this afternoon Lieuten
ant Governor Majors and. Colonel
J. D. Calhoun met. The ousting of
Boyd immediately became the sub
ject of discussion, and during the
course of it Calhoun suddenly ejac
ulated: "Tom, you needn't plead ignor
ance. I have tumbled to this deep
laid scheme and one of my infor
mants is in Washington. It is
simply this: When Secretary Proc

signs, Manderson is to be selected

resign as governor and you will
succeed to that position and then
repay him by appointing him to
the position of senator, made vacant

For the first time in his life Tom

Owing to their age, and the fact
that nothing was taken, Mr. Bennett

Where a party cuts down a fence
on the lands of another, and after-
I wards attempts to justif- the act on
! the ground that the fence is within
i a public road, he must prove by a
preponderance ol tne evidence that
the fence at that point was within
the limits of a legally established
public highway.

road over the premises ol a private
person ma' be shown by user

order to pass over his lands, and

for trial at such term by either par
ty by filing with the clerk one week
before the commencement of the
term, and no action, not so noticed,
will be docketed for trial or tried
upon an issue of fact, except by
consent of both parties held, not to

2. Under the provisions of sec
tion 531 A of the code the wages ot
sixty days service of laborers, me
chanics or clerks, who are heads of

Two German Words Tliat STe.in Much.
German barbers in New York have a
curious system of signs and mysterious
words by which they indicate to each
otiier the tendency of customers to give
large tips, small tips or none at all. If
a new barber in a lare shop gets a gen
erous customer in his chair, a fellow
workman who has shaved the generous
customer before mutters in his ear.
Brunz"' that is, "lie tips." "Bnmz"
is a distinctively German product, and
till recently was never heard outside of
continental barber shops. Its greatest
merit is that it means nothing to per
sons who are not barbers, for it has no
indorsement from the German diction
aries, and does not even enjoy the ques
tionable authority of student slang.
German barbers in New York desig
nate a man wno gives no gratuities as a
"muff." Like "brunz," "muff" is no
word at all, and was invented by wily
continental barbers for the needs of the
shop only. The amount of the tip to be
expected is revealed by the old journey
men to the new ones by various contor
tions of the fingers and by low German
monosyllables of no apparent relevancy

Stones Are Composed of Shells.
The tripoli, used for polishing our ta
bleware, ia composed entirely of the si-
hcious shells of infusoria. The earthly
paint with which our houses are colored
is nothing but the remains of different
species of these animals. Even the hard
est rocks the flints show, when exam
ined under the microscope, that they,
too, are composed of the skeletons of in
fusoria. I once examined a thin sec tion
of a flint formerly used by the great
hunter, Daniel Boone. This flint was
composed of the shells of infusoria. The
gun, an old flintlock rifle, from which
this flint was taken, is still preserved at
Frankfort, Ky.
Even many of theprecious stones, such
as the caraelian, owe their beautiful
colors to the presence of fossil infusoria.
