ps ' The Old Bachelor. I’m an old Bachelor, I live all alone, My life is a sad one, No love have I known. | I’ve no one to pet me, No one to love, | No one on earth Nor in heaven above. My life has been lonely, ; My days have been sad. H The times are but few That I’ve ever been glad. My eyesight is failing, My hair’s turning gray, | But I'll never be missed When I’m taken away. ! God pity a bachelor That lives all alone, For their pleasures as few And their friendsare unknown, ‘Take warning young men, Don’t lead such a life, Better rent you a cottage And get you a wife. If a wife you can’t get, Don’t live like me, Better lie down and die Or go drown in the sea. Remember young men, That that the joys of your life, Depend a great deal On the love of a wife. My house is quite costly, And pleasant ’twould be, If I just had a lady To keep it for me. I've lived by myself For eight or ten years And iny greatest comfort Has been with fat steers. I’ve got lots of money, What good does it do? I’ve no one to dress Nor one toshoe. I live like a hermit In dirt knee-deep When I can’t wade through I manage to sweep. Sometimes a dear neighbor Will visit my den, And alone he will find me “Too dead to skin.” And so thas will end My sad, lonely, life, But I'll never be buried By the side of a wife. And when I am gone My money’ll be spent, I can’t take it with me- Not one single cent. No flowers on the bachelor’s Grave will be spread On Decoration day After he’s dead. My name will be mentioned But seldom, I own. Oh! pity a bachelor That lives all alone! CIN. Stands By the Party. Washington, D. C, May 11.—The Republican Senators by their votes to-day, and also in private conversa- tion, indicated the purpose of voting for the amendments proposed by the Democratic compromise commit- tee whenever they increased duties and changes from the ad valorem to the specific system. It is understood this question of policy was under discussion by the Republican advis- ory committee to day, and that while a majority of those present council- led this course, the decision was by the Republican advisory com. mittee today, and that while a majority of those present coun- ciled this the decision was not unanimous. It is one of the questions which will be discussed at the Republican caucus Monday night. Among other matters which prob ably will also receive attention at the caucus is the policy to be pur sued in debating the tariff bill. There are some Republican Senators who hold that if the Republicans are to pursue the policy of aiding the Democrats in perfecting the bill by voting for the amendments, it is use- less to prolong the debate and ex- tend the session merely to have the bill pass in the end in the shape the Democrats desire, as expressed in in their caucus. The proceedings of the Senate to- day have served to emphasize the intention of the Republican Senators to exploit every phase of all the questions presented in every para- graph. and of the Democrats to per- mit the Republicans to consume the greater part of the time that is tobe devoted to talking. It was notice- able the Democrats, with the excep tion of Senator Mills, stood by the committee recommendation. Sena tors Hill and Irby, concerning whose position there has been speculation, were absent, but Senator Murphy, whose position has been considered somewhat doubtful, stood with his course, | Vision among the Democrats.

C., May 16.—The arrest of James Campbell, alias Frederick Douglass, for swindling Amelia Graham, of Bengies, Md., out of $2, is an important one. Special Examiner George D. Sidman, who made the arrest states that Campbell has been working people throughout the South and West by representing himself as a special ex aminer of the Pension Bureau. He was indicted at Frankfort, Ky., for persouating a goyernment officer, and being released on $500 bond, escaped. The impostor files of the Pension Bureau show that he has been known to the authorities under a number of aliasee. He also repre- sents himself as a son of Hon. Fred- erick Douglass, and in this and other ways plays upon colored people. He represents to these folks that a pen sion has been allowed them, and in giving them an alleged check he collects from them a fee of $2.

The lease is owned by the Chicago Oil co and the well was started last week in the territory that was considered worthless. It came in at 4 o'clock this afternoon and when the tools were thrown out the workmen had to run for their lives. ‘The drill stem and rope were thrown 500 feet. The well is estimated at 50 000,000 feet of gas per day, the largest well on earth. The gas caught fire from the forge and the derrick has been burned to the ground. The woods are blazing in many places and the} flames can be seen 100 feet above the tree tops. One curious feaiuro is that in more than 100 places water is spouting through the ground to the height of 10 to 20 feet. Mrs. N. Mevette, the Genesse county treasurer of the W.C.

Pa, opens up another startling chapter in the history of construction of the new navy. Until recently Brown was epployed in the armor plate depart- ment of the Homestead Steel Works. The charges deal almost entirely with the appurtenances used in fast- ening the armor plate to the ships such as bolts, nuts, sleeyes washers ete. These are said to be su infer ior that taken with the defective ar mor they reduce the efficiency of the new war vessels below the danger point. Brown further asserts in his af- |thoughtfully.

A Piece of Her Mind. A lady correspondent has this to say: “I want to give a piece of my mind to a certain class who object to advertisiug, when it cost them auything—this won’t cost them a cent.

Moscow, Russia, Mzy 16.—Six peasants living near the town of Os- tragoisky have recently engaged in wholesale thefts of wood from the forest of Peskow, selling it and bribing the keepers of the forest with part of the proceeds. One keeper named Goworog informed upon the thieves, whereupon they seized and bound him and subjected him to most horrible torture, tearing out his tongue, piercing his eyes w.th pins until his eyeballs were mere pulp, tearing off his fingers aud toenails and finally trampling on his body unti! it was lifeless. Goworog’s body was found in the woods a few days ago, presenting a most sickening spectacle. Au alarm was given and search was made for the fiendish murderers, but they had disappeared in the forest. A strong force of gendarmes were sent in pur- suit of them and another force of gendarmes aud parties of peasants} and residents of the town are sur- rounding the forest to prevent their escape. ~ Bautea To Agree.
