Into bis long retreat.
All checkered o'er with veto bills.
Which canned hi d re defeat.
While the democrats are shedding tears
The republican sink bosana.
To their exit 'neath the tidal waves
'Kayed in their stale bandana.
Hark I We bear loud cheers for Harrrison,
While echo groans for Urover.
They have suuk beneath the tidal waves,
Their political tricks are over ;
With their pockeit full of English coin.
And their hatred for our braves
And fonrer hatred for the blacks.
Hath founed their future graves.
Keluetantly they'll lay you down.
Into 1 by Krave that's deep ;
Tney will bid adieu to Al'en and you.
And lull tbee fast to sleep.
t brine to mind of years uone by,
How hard old Allen did finder.
When he strained his throat and cast his rote
To disfranchise the nigger,
Farewell, farewell, old Allen G.
You have been indincret.
And on freed men's soil where freemen toll,
Tliey will smile at thy de'eat.
Thy receptiou speech, to that displsed race
With gusto you ilid deliver.
Did not give strength to hat shaky plank
That launched you iu Salt Klver.
Conceal thyself among mountain cliffs.
Or 'neath the dogwood bowers, "
For the votes of the blue hath spotted you.
And sealed your political hours.
We've lowered you geuiiy down to rest
With Veto t;rover to sleep ;
We'll sing thy farewell dirge with glee.
While thy mourners o'er thee weep.

A' GLIMPSE OF CORK.
Sights Seen in a City of Ireland on
Itrlght and Uustllng Day.
Cork looked very bright and bustling

some stop3 here and there on our way,
mostly at out of the way, picturesque
villages, and 60 deeply bad their quiet
impressed U3 that Cork, with Its cars rat
tling up and down the steep, Btony
streets, its noisy quay population, and all
tho hurry of the lower town, had the air
of a stirring metropolis. How it would
strike us if we had visited it immediately
after landing from the Cunarder and
with the rush of Chicago and New York
still fresh in our recollection I cannot
say, but it impressed us when we did, sea
it very favorably. Wtyle there yvcrepif
course, some evidences of tho universal
"bad times," there were many signs of
undoubted prosperity. Its canecicu,
through Cove or (een,stqwrj, nine miles,
distant, with America, accounts largely,
I think, for the latter. In the streets we
noticed many shops devoted exclusively
to the sale of American products, meats,
fruit, tobacco, agricultural implements,
sewing machines, etc.
- In the very gait of the people we fan
cied we could see an, Anieiican treedofa

flnnllng a Coyote.
Pullman Superintendent Ell wood, of
this city. Superintendent Tom Urquhar$,
of the jOS Afigejos division' 6f 1b SbutT$:
era Pacific, and Superintendent Beal, pf
the Atl4ntic'au4'Pacifio, met in Mr. Ur
quhart's office at Mojavo one day, and
agreed to go hunting upon the Kern
county desert for coyotes. They armed
themselves with rifles, secured a carriage
settle by April 1st, as all my accounts
and driver, ana BtarTtC out oany in '--
morning across a cactus covered plain.
Very soon through the yuccas, they raw
standing pensively a lone coyote. lie
was reflecting upon his sins, perhaps, or
upon his hunger.
"Let me shoot! Let mo 6ioot!" 6aid
Mr. Beal, excitedly, raising his gun, and
Tom Urquhart gracefully yielded to his
guest. Mr. xkal shot and missed the
coyote by at least forty feet. Tho coyote
was a sensible animal, for he knew that
the closer to the guns ho got the safer he
was. IIo did not seek to escape through
tho yuccas he started direetly for the
wagon. Mr. Urquhart a a bravo man,
but that coyoto looked hungry, and he
turned pale. Though he trembled, yet
ho leaped into the breach to save his
friends. Raising his gun, he took delib
erate aim, Cred and struck a yucca one
hundred yards to the right of the line of
advance. Tho coyote still came on. It
was a thrilling moment. The driver
urneJ his horses and gallojied off, the
oyote in pursuit. The animal passed
:nder the wagon m a 2:03 gait and dis
ippeared. The railroad men returned to
Llojave, a:ul they havo not 3-et ceased to
talk about thrir narrow escape from the
ferocious beast. Los Angeles Tribune.
Just Ul:o Pork.
A friend cf mine who used to have a
house in Paris under the empire, and
vas well acquainted with all the artists
f imperial France, told mo apropos of
the picture by (Jerome, pxhibjted in
die American galleries, a story that is
worth repeating here. Every one who
loves art must know the picture (or the
engraving from the picture) representing
'Moliere Breakfasting with Louis Qua
torze." My friend happened to run into
Geroine'a studio just after the canvas
was completed. It was In it3 frame and
on the easel, and Gerome was chuckling

What do you think'" said the painter,
"I have just received the visit of an
American richard, who has made pie
what he considers a great offer for my
Mplievc.' He has ottered me a thousand
francs a head for it. I have refused, as
I would if ihere had been a flock of
courtiers. I pannot fancy selling a pic
ture as pne would pork." The picture
was sold for 80,000 francs, Town Topics.
A Story of Congressman Iteed.
Reed stood one day in front of the
Hamilton house, on Fourteenth 6treet,
where ho lives. There i3 a hill there,
not 6teep, but sometimes elippcry. A
colored man waa urging a horse'attached
to a heavily loaded wagon. Twjce the
animal slipped, and fell, and tho driver
beat tho beast with his whip. Presently
Reed, stepped forward. In that sharp,
twangy voice 60 often heard and gener
ally feared in the house ho commanded
the negro to. desist. The man again
raised his whip, when Reed's big arm
swung out and caught the driver's wrist
in a 6trong grasp. Reed held him thus
as La a vise for one full, minute, pouring
out Fiicha flfftd. reproof asthat colored
man liad never before heard. The man
winced, wilted. lie was mastered, phy
sically and morally. An.d. tho end or the
incident wj,s; a diwtng of tho wagon to
one side, pf t'e, street. Reed assisting the
driver therein, and a sending of the poor
horse away to the blacksmith to have
new shoes put on his old feet. Washing

Twice ta Salad and No More.
Dr. Anthony Ruppaner usually helps
the members and guests to salad at the
suppers of the Goethe club. The doctor

.A Sad State of A&'uirs.
. An evil which threatens women is the
bad literature of the day. Ninety-nine
novels out of a hundred are injurious. A
woman, should never read a fictitious
story which misrepresents life; she
should beware of tho sensational book
and any book that influences the mind
by its passion. Obscene pictures which
are passing through our postoflices every
day should le anathematized in every
possible way. I am sometimes tempttd
to believe that amateur photography is a
curse.
In modern society one-half of the so
ciety men are wondering how in the
world they can get tho wives of tho other
half. This may bring smiles to some
faces, but it will bring tears to the eyes
of others in this city. Clubs and hotels
are becoming dens of corruption. I
know a man in New Haven whose hand
one-half the people of this city would
be proud to grasp. Yet I know that this
man has two families living in different
parts of this country. There may be
others of the same sort whom I do not
know. Rev. A. W. Wheeler, of Now
Haven.
Clothing of Hritisli Clergymen.
Can anything more absurd and less im
pressive be imagined than the hat,
clothes and boots worn by tho British
clergymen who throng to London in
May? . A nondescript seedy hat, generally
of the wideawake description, a long
coat cut like a sack, a pair of baggy
trousers, very much "knee'd," a huge
pair of square toed bulgy boots and a
gingham umbrella mae up a costume
which ia at once grotesque and disreput
able. The old fashioned clergymau used
at least to dress like a gentleman; and
the Roman Catholic priest ias a peculiar
and unmistakabJ Btyie Gf biaown. I
quito f-; to see, therefore, why the
modern curate should array himself like
a cros3 between a broken down under
taker and a cafe waiter out of work.

Discounting Ficklo Cupid.
A society lias been organized in Den
mark under the name of the "Celibacy
Assurance society," its object being to
provide for those women who either
cannot or will. not provide themselves
with a husband. The premiums, which
are on various scales, begin at the age
of 13 and end at 40, a period at which it
is supposed most of the members will
have abandoned any thought of mar
riage. Such being the case, the woman
receives an annuity for life. If, however,
sho marries at any time after or before
40 she forfeits all her claims. With
the profits thus accruing by chance or
purpose the society hopes to provide for
its members "doomed to single blessed
ness." Providence Journal.
His Bride Came fYoin Castle Garden.
Tho wife of Ilieronymus Kirchner, of
Cranberry township, died leaving him a
wealthy widower of 70 odd years, with a
longing for a new wife, lie wasted a

he concluded to advertise. Mary Galow,
a recent arrival at Castle Garden, heard
of him and came right on to Butler. A

satisfactory, and tho aged groom and the
blushing 23-year-old bride became one.
