Rest for the Weary,
Sooner or later storms shall heat
Over my slumber, from head to feet;
Sooner or later winds shall rave
,_ In the grasses above my grave;
Never disturbing me where I lie,
Nothing their sound shall signify;
Nothing the summer’s sun or rain,
Nothing snail rufllc the sacred dread
Shrouding the city of the dead.
Sooner or later far in the night,
Stars shall over over me wing their flight;
Silently guarding the blessed gloom,
Locking the doors of the silent tomb.
Sooner or later I shall lie
Where there is never a groan or sigh ;
No weary heartache, no throbbing brow,
Sooner or later !—Why not now ?
Beforeltliat lime thcrc'is work for thee,
lluilding a house in eternity;
Labor hard shaltpreparc thee best
For Him, who givcth the weary rest;
Cowardly seeking the silent grave;
Is not the soul He died to save ;
“Go to the vineyard," was his command,
Not to‘tlie village where tomb stones stand ;
Labor-lug there shall thy soul be blest
With the peace of God, which is perfect rest.

T11 \NKSGIVING.
New York is aimit as much of a New Eng-
land city as Boston, and Thanksgiving, the
President’s Sunday,is as religiously observed.
Business of every kind was suspended, ex-
cept the tip-town drinking palaces, which did
a bigger business than usual. There were
thousands of turkeys consumed, acres of
pumpkin pies, barrels of cider, and the day
was given over to mirth and jollity. The
charities all gave their beneficiaries a turkey
dinner. The Newsboys’ Home fed over two
thousand waifs, on turkey and mince pies,
and a pleasant sight it was to see the home-
less and hungry take a square meal,somcthing
tiiey won’t get again till next Thanksgiving.
‘he churches were more than usually crowd-
ed, and altogether the day was a success.
siLvsR.
Silver is so plenty as to become a nuisance.
It is worth only 93 cents on the dollar, and
the. retailers, restaurant keepers and others
are takingfiadvantage offing i_You go: into a
restaurant and tendcra $5 greenback and you
will get back $3 in silver dollars. As these
people pay 93 cents for theni,they make seven
cents every time they can do this, which is
a very handsome addition to their profits.
_ The places of amusement buy silver regular-
1y to give out in change, and the result if?
silver is the circulating medium. If the
Bland Bill should pass, it would drive out
gold andjpapcr money altogether. “The dol.
lar of our daddies” is getting as plenty as
blackberries.
LIFE INSURANCE AND sxxs srxo.
The sconndrelly president of the Secur-
ity Life Insurance Company, who swore
to a surplus of about a quarter of a million
when it hadn’t a dollar, and who did all sorts
of things in a most irregular way, has been
sentenced to five years in the penitentiary at
hard labor. This is well. Case was a man
of large property, and one of the class known
as “eminently respectable.” He stood high
in the church and in society, and, it is prob
able, didn’t realize that in plundering a vast
number of people by means of life insurance
that he was doing any wrong. It is a fash~
iouable kind of stealing, this life insurance
and savings’ bank swindiing, and the respect-
able Case was an astonished man when he was
pulled up to answer. Such a thing had
never happened before, and he did not. be-
licvc that. anything serious would come of it.
In protested that he had never examined the
condition of the company—that the statement
was brought to him, and he swore to it,
without knowing what it was. But the
judge held that a president who received
$10,000 per annum to manage the interests of
twenty thousand widows and orphans ought
to know something about it, and so he sends
him up for five years, despite his respectabili
t y. Dr. Lambert, the president of the swin-
dIing American Popular will go next, and
the law is I‘CthlllIl" for Furbcr, the president
of the North American. 'A life insurance
prescient in striped clothes is a cheerful and
improving sight, and there ought to be more
of them. The good companies in the city
have been largely instrumental in bringing
about this most excellent result, for the rea-
son that the companies that expect to pay
losses have had a hard time competing with
the swindle-shops that were organized to fail
when they could make more money by fail-
ing than continuing. Now the business is on
a better and safer basis than ever.
THE TEMI’ERANCE was.
The law and order league continue their -
fight on rum, and they accomplish something.
Last Sunday the bars were very generally .
closed, and about a hundred of the worst
class of doggeries have been closed perma-
nently. They arrest and fine, and if the of-
fender continues, they arrest and fine over 5
again, making it. unprofitable for all who have
not a big business. The hotels and big sa-
loons took it as a joke at first, and paid will-
ingly, but they are getting tired of it, and -
are organizing to resist. It is doubtful wheth-
er they can be forced to stop, but if the
cheap bucket-shops can be closed, a great
thing has been done. In addition to prosc-
cuting the rum-sellers, the league has organ-
ized a temperance movement among the
workingmen, and thousands are pledging
themselves to abstain. Employers announce
that in all cases preference will be given to
total abstainers, and men are followed as they
are entering the rum-mills and influenced to
keep out, and every possible influence is
brought to bear to keep them straight after
they have once quit. The work has plenty
of money behind it, and is going on system-
atically and to some purpose. The rummies
are havinga serious time of it. It was no-
ticeable that there were fewer breaches of the
peace Thanksgiving day than have been
known of a holiday for years, for which the
League claims the credit.
BUSINESS
continues good for these times. The South
is buying very largely. and merchants report
good payments, and everything sound and se-

The report of the Postmaster-General does
not disclose the increase which a single year’s
growth of the country usually produces in
the transactions of the Department, but it
gives many interesting facts showing the
progress of the service in perfecting its pro-
cesses and improving its discipline. There
is a decrease of nearly $5,000,000 in the sales
of stamps, etc. , and the money order, busi-
ness, and a deficiency, excluding the accounts
of previous years, of about the same sum:
but the expenditures were $3,353,000 less
than the estimates. Mr. Key thinks that in
time the Post Oflice Department will be a
source of revenue, though for the present the
deficiencies must increase with the business,
because the increase is so largely in transac-
tions which are carried on at a loss. It is
worth notting that while the number of let-
ters delivered is greater than that of last year,
the number of letters collected, which is the
greater of the two, is actually smaller by 700,
000 than that of last year. Also, that the
local mail service in cities pays for itself. Mr.
Key reports that the postage on local matter
exceeded the expense by $360,000. The
decrease in the money-order business which
also exceeds, it seems, to the average sums
transmitted, is attributed to the depression
which prevailed generally last. year. The
tributes to the efiicicncy of the present
postal service are striking enough. In trans-
mitting supplies of stamps, amounting to
over $20,000,000, only two packages were
lost, and their value amounted to but.$S2—15
—a loss which the Postmaster-General says
is “unprecedently “small.” The loss of reg-
istered letters is out one-fiftieth oil per cent.
He asks that the letter-carriers, certainly one
of the poorest paid, hardest working class of
public servants, shailbe increased; he urges
at great length, legislation to correct the
abuse of fraudulent sales of stamps by fourth-
class postmasters, and asks legislation to
compel railways to carry the mails in certain
cases at what the Postmaster-General shall
consider equitable rates, and the enactment
of laws to do justice to sub contractors.

At a recent meeting of the United States
Veterinary Medical Associations, held at
Springfield, Mass. , resolutions were adopted
. declaring that the Department of Agriculture
had done nothing to promote the live stock
interest of the country through veterinar
inspection and the diffusion of information
in regard to the hygienic treatment of animals,
and urging President Hayes to appomt as
Commissioners of Agricultureal Dr. E.Lewis
Sturtcvant of South Framingham, Mass ,
who has among other qualifications that of
familiarity with this special department.
The loss in live stock attributed to the lack
of veterinary education is estimated at over
$100,000,000 annually.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Combines many of the merits 01 both the Daily

best. as Well ".5 the cheapest. paper sent out from
the ’l‘uinmin i lltlce. It contains all the literary.
agricultural, and domestic miscellany, and all the
special articles prepared for THE WEEKLY. It
has besides nearly all the news of THE. DAILY.
and most of its editorial articles not strictly loca‘
in their application. it has been enlarge l,.and
changed to the new sixteen-page lorm described
below—:1 change which has long been asked by
many of its inost intelligent pations.

to ireserve all its old merits._but topikea lon

size [making it the largest single sheet issued by
any ncwspapcrin the country], it is enabled to

convenient for binding. Each issue consists of
sixteen pages. of the form and general appear-

any other weekly newspaper issued from the office
of a daily in New York, or in the country—larger.

filled with matter pre arcd expressly for its read-

great religious and literary journals, while its pa-
gas are lat-gei'than in any of these, Its price,
however. remains fixed at such low rates as to
defy Competition, and the extraordinary premi-

“I’m afther axin’, Biddy dear—”
And here he paused awhile
To fringe his words the merest mite
With something of a smile,
A smile that found its image
In a face of beauteous mould,
Whose liquid eyes were peeping
From a broidcry of gold.
“I’ve come to ax ye, Biddy dear,
If—"Then he stopped again, '
As if his heart had bubbled o’er
And overflowed his brain:
His lips were twitching nervously
O’er what he had to tell,
And timed their quavers with the eyes
That gently rose and fell.
“I’ve come—” and then he shook her hands
And held them in his own,
“To ax—" and then he watched the buds
That on her cheeks liad blown,
“Me party dear—”and then he heard
The throbbing of her heart,
That told how love had entered in
And claimed its every part.
“Och! don't be tazin’ me,” said she,
With just the faintest sigh,
“I’ve sinse enought to see you’ve come,
But what’s the rayson why '2”
“To ax—” and once again the tongue
Forebore its sweets to tell,
“I'o ax— if Mrs. '1'.ulligan
Has any pigs to sell.”
Tun INDIAN BASKET Tniox.--Ever since
the capture of the strange empire of India
by the English, or for more than a hundred
years, the civilized people have been hearing
of the marvelous feats performed by the na-
tive jugglers. Naturally, Houdin’s announce-
ment of the Indian bask;t trick made a great
sensation. The curtain arose and disclosed a
wicker basket of oblong shape standing upon
what appeared to be a light table, without
any cloth rover upon it. The juggier enter-
ed. dragging a beautiful youth, dressed as an
Indian prince, wearing a robe of white cash-
mere cmbroidered with gold, while upon his
head waved a peacock's plume held by 0. dia-
mond star.
“Mercy! mercy!" cried the child.
“No—no mercy. You are an Indian and
a prince, and must die,” was the savage re-
sponse.
“I am only a child,” cried the innocent
boy.
“That will not prevent my killing you."
With piercing sliricks the child broke away
and rushed to the side wing,only to be seized
there by his executioner, who, lifting him in
his arms, plunged him into the basket, which
he closed, strapping down the cover. Then
he drew his sword, and having tested its
sharpness by striking it in the floor,he thrust
it in the basket again and again, while the
victim inside gave the most heart-reading
cries of pain and agony. Each time the
sword was pulled out it was seen to be cover-
ed with biood, while the sobs and groans
from the inside of the basket grew fainter
and fainter, till at length they ceased, and a
ghostly silence ensued. During this scene
the excitement among the audience was in-
tense. Ladies hid their faces behind their
fans; some wept aloud; men shouted hoarse-
ly, “Enough!” The smiling juggler bowed,
and proceeded to unstrap the basket, which
he turned, month upward, to the audience,
showing it to be entirely empty. In the
midst of the applause which followed from
the amused and relieved audience, the little
Indian prince was seen to be seated in a box
in the centre of the auditorium, kissing his
tiny hand to those about him, as well as to
his friend the executioner on the stage.
This trick was performed with the aid of
looking-glasses inserted between the table
legs—a contrivancc now commonly used in
pantomimes and other show pieces' upon our
stage. But it was a new thing then, and the
scene was remarkably well played by Hon-
din and the child. As soon as the boy got in
the basket he opened a trap door in the bot-
tom of it, which was placed over a corres-
ponding opening in the table. Hidden by
the looking-glass,he crouched below between
the table legs, and slirieked and sobbed until
the proper moment came for him to descend
through a trap in the stage, and so pass
arround to the box in the front of the theatre.
A sponge full of red liquid was placed at a
certain spot Inside the basket, and the sword
passing through this, seemed to be dripping
with blood. It was imperative that the jug-
gier should not pass in front of the table,else
his legs would have been reflected there, and
that would have disclosed the entire secret.
Houdin became dissatisfied with this trick,
and made many improvements in it, which
the jugglers 'of our day have still further
perfected. It is palpable that this cannot be
the way in which Indian jugglers perform
the trick in the market-places or other pub-
lic squares in broad daylight. They have no
looking-glass table, no traps through the
earth.
Houdin’s theory concerning them was that
their basket had an opening in it either at its
front or its back,and that while buckling and
strapping down the cover, with the knee lift-
ed up and pressed on the basket as if to tight-
en the lcathern strap more securely, the child
crept out under his bent knee, and hid be-
neath the voluminous robes of the juggler.
Then, while the sword is piercing the basket,
and the child’s sobs are most heart-reading,
the crowd gathers in a compact mass about
it, and into the crowd the child easi-
ly escapes without being seen,and runs away.
at the proper moment he comes running back
as if from a distance,and of course the aston-
ishment of the crowd is unparalleled, for the
basket in the meantime has been opened and
shown to be empty—0mm Loans, in Bar-
por’s Magazine.
_ The Chinese quarter of San Francisco has
its Theodore Thomas in the person of Lee
Tom, who is organizing a mammoth orchestra.
The instruments used are the Chinese fiddle,
the devrl’s banjo, the tabor, the tom-tom, and
the gong. A reporter of The Chronicle, who
was invited to attend one of the preieminary
rehearsals, states that the fiddles and banjos
first struck in with a wild, voluptuous swell,
which suddenly broke off in a mad straccato
or: the fortissiino grade, resembling the most
gigantic cat fight that ever took place on
earth. Presently the professor signaled the
bass to tune itself loose upon a passage illus-
trating how the devil flies away with a junk
load of Chinese pirates. The reporter adds
that the swells of the tom-toms was simply
terrific, compared with which the wildest:
passages of Wagner’s “Lohengrin” would
have been as an infants lullaby.

_Lucy H. Hooper says that the Parisian
pick.pock_et has inventeda special mode of
theft, which has been christened “col a Z’om-
mbus.". The modus operandi' is very simple.
The thief enters the omnibus, chooses a seat
besxde some well-dressed and apparantly afliu—
ent person, and remains motionless and ap-
paren tly absorbed in his reflections. But be-
tween his finger and thumb he holds a ver
small grain of shot attached to a black silk
thread of extreme fineness and strength.
When his next neighbor opens his or her
pocket-book, to pay the fare the thief adroitly
throws his grain of shot into the pocketbook,
retaining the end of the silk thread in his
hand. the pocketbook is closed and replaced
in the owner’s pocket, grain of shot and all,
The thief profits by some extraordinary jolt
9f the vehicle to fall against his neighbor, and
in that moment he draws in the silk thread
and gains possession of the prize.
