Everything that eonld be done to make life pleasant she did. And the old man watched her grow from girlhood to womanhood ami loved her more and more, and when at last nature succumbed and he laid himself down to die the name of "Winnie" was among tho last words that fluttered from the trembling ahy lips. And Miss Winnie deserves great credit for her lilhil affection and care of the father she clung to through tho many years. Fortunate indeed is this man upon whoin Miss Winnie has chosen to be-stow her affections. May he prove worthy of her, and may tho southern lily bloom in glory uuder the shadow of the northern pine. WJNXIK DAVIS. Before tho petals of the June roses shall have fallen. Wiuuie Davis, the "daughter of the confederacy," will have wedded. Lucky indeed is the man who will lead her to the altar, for In tho grand galaxy of American women there are none who possess moro of the graces which make the sex angels than she. It was Winnie that kept Jefferson Davis on earth so long. When the war closed he was a discomfited, disgraced man. Bitter sarcasm aud oblo-quy were added to the stinging mortification of defeat. A bowed and crushed mau he returned to his Missis-sippi homo to lay him down to die. But when he crossed the threshold of tho old house a pair of bright eyes beamed upon him aud a pair of roguish lips were held up for him to kiss. A sweet happy voice greeted him and two little dimpled arms wero clasped around his neck. It was Winnie. And one can imagine the eyes of the rebel chieftain grow misty as he caressed the child until a fecliug of peace stole over him and the wounded heart found ease. From that date Jefferson Davis' i strongest tio to eurth was his daughter. His heart-string- s were twisted round her ami to have resigned her would ha?e broken them. This is one reason A STORY OF TJWfiFOOT BOY." On Haverhill's pleasant hill there played, Some seventy years ago. In turned op trousers, battered hat, - Patches and freckle and ell that, , Tho barefoot boy we know. He roamed his berry fields content, But while, from buh and brier, The nimble feet got many a scratch, Hio wit, beneath Its homely thatch, Aspired to something higher. Over his dog eared spelling book. Or schoolboy composition, l'uallng his bead with some hard sua, Uoing for nuta, or gathering gum, He cherished his ambition. Kind nature smiled on that wise child, Nor could her love deny him The large fulfillment of bis plan: bince he who lifts his brother man In turn is lifted by htm. He reached the starry hlghu of peace Before his head was hoary; And now at fourscore years again The blessings of his fellow men Waft him a crown of glory. J. T. Trowbridee. Sight mn HearlM He C DR.

The Serious Charges Against tien. M11-illet- Sustained. Disgrace seems to have fallen lately on several brave officers in various countries. This side of the water the United Stales has seen the downfall of Lieut. Steele, of the arniy.audConimander McCalla.of the navy. Outhe heelsot thesescandal recently came the one involving tieu. Sir Frederick Mid-dleto-commander in chief of the Canadian militia, whose ca-reer of usefulness la closed by tho verdict of a parli-amentary commit-tee that he "loot-ed" furs valued at 13,000 while en-gaged in suppress-ing the Kiel rebel-lion of 1885. That this is a sorry se- -' uuel to years of honorable service can be illustrated no better than by g-- , middletoX. extracting from the army list the authoritative review of Gen. Middleton's life and services. Sir Frederick Middleton served with ths Fifty-eight- h regiment at the assault and capture of Kawitis Pah, also during 1846--7 in the southern part of New Zealand, in-cluding the repulse of the attack o Wan-gan- (mentioned in dispatch), and subse-quent affairs there (medal); ssrved as a vol-unteer during the Santhal rebellion in In-dia and received the thanks of the Indian government; served in the Indian campaign of 1857-- 8 as orderly officer to On. Frank.? in the action of Sultanpore and subsequent affairs in the advance to Lucknow (three times mentioned ,iu the dispatches); was p to Gen. Sir Edward Lugard at the siege aud capture of Lucknow and storming of the Martinicre, Bank's house, Begum's Kotee and Mouloy's mosque (mentioned in diBpatch and made brevet major); was deputy judge advocate and p to (Jen. Lugard at the relief of Azimghur and action of Jugdespore (mentioned in dispatch); recommended for the Victoria Cross for two act (see Kaye's History of Mutiny Mulleson), but as being on personal staff was not considered eligi-ble; was brigade major to the Suraon field force at the reduction of Dehayon, Tirhal (mentioned in dihatch), aud other of the Oude forts (medal with clasp); commanded the forces engaged In quelling the rebellion in the northwest territories of Canada in 1885, received the thanks of ths senate and honse of commons of Canada (medal with clasp and K.

AN ARGONAUT OF '49. la HI Old Age He Loses His Life by Drowning. Mr. Alpheun Bull, Sr., who met a tragic death tho other day by falling from tlienea wall at Fort Point bulkhead, San Fran-Cisc-wan one of tho famous pioneers of '40. He was a native of New York and within & month of his 74th birthday at tho time oi nis demise. When he went to California, forty-on- e years ago, lie located in the northern part of the Ktate aa senior member of the firmofBulI.Baker & Co., the base of operations being at Red Bluff and Shosta. After a ALPHRPS BUM.. dozen years of prosperity he retired from the business and made Ban Franolseo his home, invest-ing his money in various enterprises that brocght him a handsome return. He mar-ried twice, and a widow aud six children survive him. The exact manner in which Mr. Bull came to his end is not, known, although it is supposed that he fell from the sea wail to the rocks and waves eight een feet below while suffering from an attack of vertigo. His wife and children wero his compan-ions on an excursion. He left them for a few moments, and not returning as soon as expected they went in search of him. With horror they saw not the living and loved father and husband, but a mutilated corpse floating out to the open oceau. Strong men responded to tho cry for help and the body was recovered. Mr. Bull left a large fortune, but little will be heard of it In the probate court. For the past two years he was almost con-stantly engaged in putting his affairs in order and disposing of his property by deed of gift. Everything goes to his widow and children, and so far bad the distribu-tion progressed that but little stood in his own name at the time of his death. And still they come.

Congressman Council of Nchrnaka, took occasion to explain "why he .did not support the silver bill, and in mak-ing his maiden speech ho gave Speaker Reotl :i lively and deserved scoring. Mr. Coiiiicll'sreinaiks attraotod consid-erable attention. He Is a clear-heade- d man, a good talker, and a persistent lighter. It 6eenis that it was by the courtesy of a democrat that lie wus permitted to be heard on the question of silver leg-islation. He' had been denied recognition by Hie speaker, and re-fused the privilege of a hearing by Mr. Conger, who had charge of the bill, for the reason that he was opposed to the measuro in its present form. "I recognize that ray personal views," said Mr. Conuoll, "aud individual opin-ions should conform to tho judgment of those who are regarded as party leaders and counsellors. I cannot, however, blindly follow ctcu a majority of the republican members of this house when 1 know as I do in this ease the needs and demands of the people. I propose 1o govern my action accord-ingly, even though my vote be re-corded with the minority. But I wish to say, speaking ouly for myself, but at the same lime giving expression to utterances of members about me that if the speaker, and the leadevj on this side of the house expect the ratk and iilo to do their bidding without reference to what is right or reasonable or fair, they will wake up some Hue morning to iind themselves very much mistaken." Mr. Council had supported Speaker Reed in his ruling that members actu-ally present and plainly to be seen in their seats, ahouhl bo counted as present, but he asserted, however, that no system of rules with a gag ou free speech; fair discussion or the right to propose honest amendments, will ever be tolerated. "Mtv Conuell is an enthusiastic silver man, and his position on this question is shown in the follow-ing extract from h,is speech,, as publish-ed irj, tho Congressional Record: MI submit that the action of the speaker In VMtiBliiK to penult tho consideration of amend-ments which would reiuouftlze silver and eliminate from the bill now tinder considera-tion its bullion redemption feature, Is an ont-rcnt- e on a majority of the members of this hmine and on the people of this country, who domaud that this should be don, f Applause. If It Is the wish of the majority of tho members of this hoiue to pans a bill In favor of the free and unlimited coinage of sil-ver It is as reprehensible on the part of a minority, even though entirely composed of reuubllcatiR, to prevent such action by the wlorcement of a j?ag rule as it would be for democrats in pursiiauee of a filibustering conspiracy to thwart legislation desired by republicans. We should have an honest and fair expression of the will of the people, as represented by a majority of tbo members of Mils house. 1 reooftnlzo that It is impossible for earn member to engraft on every bill his individual opinion; I also recognize that It Is frequently necessary to make concessions In order to secure desired legislation. For one I have been disposed to meet tho gentlemen on this side of the house In that spirit. I regret as much as any republican can that we wero unable in caucus to agree upon a bill that every member on this side of tho house could support. While a considerable number like myself were In favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver, we stood ready to compromise on a measure that would elimi-nate from the present bill its bullion redemp-tion proviso, which degrades and continues to demonetize silver aud makes more warehouse receipts out of the treasury notes author-ized to be issued. It looked at ono time as though this might be done. I do not propose to glva away auy secrets of tho caucus; I do not propose to toll any tales out of school; I only repeat what has been a matter of general publication in the public press when I say that a number of amendments, one of which eliminated from this bill its objec-tionable bullion rlauSo, were offered by the pntlemaa from Ohio (Mr. McKlnley) and probably would have been accepted as satis-factory to all the members on this side of the house but for the objections and protests or the speaker. I would have been very glad to have iseon a silver bill Introduced and put through this house purely as a republican mea-sure. This might nave been done had gentlemen on this sldo of the house heeded the timely suggestions of the dlstlngiUshod and able gentleman from Ohio (Mr. McKlnley;, aud accepted the amendments which Ue pro-posed in a spirit of compromise. While In favor of the free and unlimited coinage of sil-ver, I, with other members of similar views, would have been willing to accept this bill with the amendments proposed, believing that time would Justify our belief that, with the brand of demonetization removed the price of bullion would soon reach II for 371.25 grains of pure silver and result practically in f reo and unlimited coinage. "Mr. Speaker, the state which I have the honor to represent does not produce a single ounce of silver. My constituents are neither miners nor mine owners. It 1b not from a selfish standpoint, therefore, that Nebraska or her representatives view the question of silver legislation. What is demanded by myself, my colleagues and the people we repre- sent is such legislation as will result In the greatest good to the greatest num-ber and will be productive of the largest degree of prosperity to the entire country. This question Is the most important and in its consequouces of any that has received the attention of congress formally years. It effect. every interest of this great country, 'and if properly determined will Wing to the people n degree or prosperity without a parallel in the history of this na-tion." Mr. Council's silver soutirneuts are sound. Nothwithstauding his denunci-ation of Speaker Reed ho voted in the aillrmative when the measure came up ou the iinal passage. Ho possibly had become convinced that it was to the in-terests of thepeoploto have some sil-ver legislation at least during this sea-sio- The New York Sun contends that activity of tho brain prolongs lif.5. This accounts for tho tenacity with which Mr. Dana's oflico cat clings to ex-istence. Tub paved sidewalk on lirigham Mreet lias greatly improved that hand-some thoroughfare. It ought to put au end to all protests against sidewalk im-provements. If Vice President Morton wishes to regain the good will of the Presbyte-rians ho will have to put a stop to the selling of liquor in his Washington hotel, even if tho house is conducted by a lessee. The fees of the New York sheriff's ofilce having becu abolished that placo williiot hereafter bo such a bonanza, nor will ifc bo such a bribe taking and bribe-givin- g institution as it has been 5u the past. ' That the Salt Lake Mining exchange 5s an assured success is evidenced by the fact that seats are at a premium. One member has been offered a .TO per cent advauce over tho subscription price for his chair. ' Oil has been struck on the ground owned by the Forest Grovo Presbyter-ian church, in Pennsylvania, and the church is now receiving au income of 8133 per day from royalties. This may be called a blessing from below, instead of from above. The Biggest Fee Ever Paid a Physician. "Dr. Charles T. Parkes, a North Side physician, has received a fee which is believed to be the largest ever paid to any physician in this country. And he didn't seek it, either." The gentleman who made this statement continued: "Dr. Parkes, in addition to his prac-tice, is a lecturer in one of the medical schools of this city. His time is, there-fore, very much ocenpied. A few weeks ago he received a message from San Francisco asking if he could go there to an important case. The patient is a lady of wealth. The disease, cancer on the face. Dr. Parkes replied that he could not go, mentioning his duties, without great sacrifice. This reply prompted an-other mess sage to him, in which he was asked to name his price. Not caring to go he sent a reply to this to the effect that nothing less than f10,000 would cause him to make the trip. With this he dismissed the subject from his mind. "On the following day he received an-other message. This was to the effect that he would be paid $1,000 down and $1,000 per day and expenses as long as the patient was nnder his care. The call was urgent. He wont, and was gone twenty-fiv- e days. He has returned, his patient accompanying him. So there is a fee of $25,000 and all expenses. Think of the effort and sacrifice of that wo-man to regain her health. What is it that one will not give in exchange for health? And j et how little we appre-ciate the gift when it is in our posses-sion." Chicago Tribune. PKRHONAb PAKAGRAI'118. Cnarles II.

The Herald says that if it costs $0,000 to pavo Commercial street, there are not a few property owners on the wide thoroughfares who will wait be-fore they undertake the heavy cspeuse. In this the history of paving teaches that the Herald is mistaken. When the property owners note the advance in tho price of real estate on a paved street and the improved facilities for traffic which are the direct result they will be eager to iucur the expense which will enhance tho value of their holdings.

Mich., during the last year has baked for her family 2.H88 cookies, 1,988 doughnuts, 217 cakes, 27 pies, 81 pud-dings, 793 loaves of bread, and sold 91G pounds of butter.

Is considering the various kinds of paving material to be laid on our streets the fact that brick is now being quite extensively used should not bo over-looked. Wherever it lias been put down in pavements it has been found to stand the wear and tear of traffic almost as well as sandstone. It is almost as noiseless as asphalt, and it can be kept clean just as easily. Brick pavements are by no means an experiment. They have been practically demonstrated to be a success in every respect. Paving I'Hck can easily be made here, and kboujtl be given a trial at least. Having entered the emplov of David- - i son, l,,nMiii & MeCune shall be pleased to ce all of mv hn-m- at the 'new store.
