The Basis of Socialism , Four philosophers sat about a round table in a hostlery Sunday afteruoonj and discussed the signs of the times' as they quaffed their lager. "I tell you , " said the" bloodthirsty he" made semicircular philosopher , as a - lar incision the size of a barrel top in a cheese sandwich , "I tell you , and you mark me , that the Cincinnati riot is only a premonition ! There are jloody days before us and they ard lot far away. Outraged man is cry ing to heaven for vengeancej and iieaveii failingto interfere , he will avenge himself , and his revenge will a fearful one. I feel the tinle approaching preaching , and when the downtrodden den majority turn upon their oppres sors their will be riot and carnage jefore which the horror of the reign of terror shall pale into insignificance , met when that time comes I shall lead the avengers ! I am a socialist from jeginning to end , from first to last , * rom Alpha to Omaha ! The fire of insubordination antt socialism are in ne ! I am full of it ! " "And I am with you , " declared the youthful philosopher. "I am full of it , too ! " "You're both of you fuller of beer , " > bserved the skeptical philosopher. "Well1 the drunken philosopher emarked , with a sage hiccough , "beer ish the basish of socialism , anyway. Tht'ish all rigsh. " New York Times.

Within a few months she has had opera , dramatic and mus- c festivals. Now comes a "circus festival , " to be followed by a nation al cat show. Cincinnati is nothing if not mewsical. ILIFF , COLORADO. Cattle on the Frenchman and North Fork of the Republican. ILIFF , COLO. , April 1,18S4. Northwestern Live Stock Journal : Have just returned from a trip on the Frenchman and north fork of the Re publican , and have to report stock thin in flesh , but have plenty of rustling qualities left. Grass and water are good on the flat between here and the head of the Frenchman , and a good many cattle. On the Frenchman , down to the TO ranch , grass is rather short along the creek and some cattle are bogging down. General J. L. Brush has an outfit of men at the head of the creek watching weak cattle. At Benkelinan , Neb. , I met Ben. Mourning and Dan Powell in from the south fork of the Republican. They re port having been down on the Smoky river opening fences to allow cattle to go south to the Arkansas. They saw but few dead cattle in that country. Jim Mourning , foreman for McGillin Bros. , also was at Benkelman. From Benkelman up to Haigler there are a great many cattle doing very well , all things considered. From Haigler to the head of Chief creek there are a good many dead cat tle , owing to the closing of the gaps left by the railroad in its fences by par ties who have large pastures itt this part of the country. From the head of Chief creek to Ak ron cattle are to be seen all over the prairie , and as all the buffalo wallows are full offfate'r they are doing first-rate. The loss in this section of the coun try is confined to through , yearling anc cows heavy with calf. . The reason why those two classes suffer most is-obvious to any one who has given the subject any thought. Tfie first are over driven from Texas to this jilace/ and the lat ter , thanks to the policy of allowing bulls to run the year round , have to justle to support two when it is difficult for one to exist- , IN the German language , Staats- achuldenzahlungscasseb u c h h a 11 e r means "Accountant of the bureau' Avhcre the state debts are paiilf" Min . ister Sargent could not prdno\fnco"v this official's title correctly , arid Bis v majck therefore donoluded that Sar gent was incompetent. REV.V. . L. McGiiEW , of Somerset ountyj Pa. , is said to bo the best rjfltf shot in Am'erica , performing all of' Carvdr's and Bogardus' feats- and aV ! jreat manj others they never at tempt. A irian has to be mighty handy with a gun to be a successful preacher in some countries. The rev- , ereild ought to be sent by the con.- ference on a starring tour througlf Texas and Arkansaw. Burdette Tun.Supreme Court of the United States has decided that a man who isr accustomed to having mord than one" pair of breeches may bring a second pair home with him from a foreign" country without paying duty oil them j- even if he has not worn them ; and so" with his wife's petticoats : , But thtf poor devil and his wife , who are not accustomed to having new clothesj must pay duty on what they don't wear , they cannot bring into the Colin-1" try more than their ordinary supply.- But suppose the wife wears the" breeches , will some astute lawyer tell us how the decision of the United' States Supreme Court would apply in such a case ? " Bee. that is born into this world is of few days and chucked full of trouble. He cometh forth as a big sunflower and is cut down , and where is he ? Conundrum. Now the evil days come in which he shall say , , "I have , no pleasure in them , " for in a few-short days the wife of his'UBsom will be cleaning house , and he will have no place to lay his head.Frorii the rising even to the going down of the sun , he will be monkeying a'roundj raking the yard burning straw and old rags , and feathers , and government socks , and raising an incense more . "ragrant than the inside of a wigwam ; ETe will draw water , and carry coalj and beat carpets , and fill bed ticks- , and put down carpets , and swear and Dlack stoves , and whitewash } and scrub , and. cuss- , and paint , and make limself generally obnoxious. He will stand it a day or two and then , some iime when his wife isn't looking , take' a fish pole , and a little bottle of snake ' jite antidote- , and some worms } a hunk of codfish batej and a small portion of spirittis fermenti , and go out tcf bave a real good time with the boys. X can be good and happy with out fortune and without fame and" without church membership , but he" cannot reach any good in the path of the drunkard. That vice attacks at one time the money and the body And the brain of its victim. It leaves nothing untouched. As the molten lava rolling down into a tropical val ley scorches all things and leaves not a leaf of green and not a drop of water or dew , but transforms a para dise into an. iron rock , so the passion for strong drink blights the young man's world , and leaves just enough of body or dust or memory to catch a mother's or a sister's tears. Gam- blino' and other sins ask for and receive - o ceive their quota of victims , and our" age , with a generosity perfectly in fernal , hands over an annual payment of thousands of souls , but compared with the ruin wrought by drunken ness the injury from other" vices is slight. But for this one evil partly come and partly impending , we could make a tolerable analysis of the young man of to-day , and could read with delight the most probable page of the' morrow. Had this one vice kept away from earth- the wound of the serpent in the garden of Eden might havo" seemed curablej-bUt the cup of ardenfi spirits having come into the" world of almostber - the sorrows man seem - - yond remedy. - J , I
