Governor Crane of Massachusetts

Senator Mitchell has Introduced a bill
in tut united ritates ttnate providing
for a reduction ol tariff ratet on Philip
pine imports. The bill proposes a re
duction of 60 per cent of the Dlnglry
rales. Senator Foraker proposed an
amendment, a more radical measure, to
cut the rate to 25 per ceut. While it
eeemt improbable that Foraker's
amendment will carry, It will receive
support sufficient to assist the passage

compromise. Our island possessions

To Mrs. E, B. Winch.
(Written by Esther P. Terrell and pre
sented to Klizsbt'th B. Winch, upon her
81st birthday.)
We're thankful thou art spared to brighten
earth,
Which is so nely of the Christian's toil,
and prayer,
And totliy friends, who value thy true
worth,
And in thy sweet coiiipiuiionsliip, lmvc
share.
The tread of saintly feet upon our strccl,
Has weight to conquer sin, and prove the
right,
The steadfast faith, and perfect trust, one-
meets
Bespeaks inheritance with snints in light,
Then linger long, dear friend, we humbly
pray,
Kre thou dost leave earth's evening
horizon,
For the pure light of the Kternal day,
W Inch has no evening shade or setting
sun.
And where no "Mile Stones " of the years
appear,
Or "Hun-dial, or "Hour glass" are ever
known
To bring a thought of sorrow, or the
slightest fear
Of parting, from the loved one round
the throne.

Silver on Myrllo Creek
W. T. (.'ope brought in from .Myrtle
creek last week (sine samples of a
metal which occurs in nuggeta in the
placers of that stream. (In analysis, il
was found that the metal was silver, the
unlets carrying also a small percentage
of gold. It is said that the miners of
Myrtle creek have been in the hal.it ol
throwing away this metal in ignorance
jf its value. It has been reported that
the metal wan worth $H per oiluce. As
pure silver is worth about 00 cents per
ounce it will be seen that this must be
a remarkably good kind. Mr. Copr
explains, however that the amount ol
gold coutaiued is sufficient to make the
value.
