The Bow In the Cloud.
BY BESSIE II. TOBEY.
Into my life God's rain doth fall,
The shower the sweet sky clears—
' * My sorrows, promises I call,
Thus each itself endeare—
And in alight to gladdcn all,
Rainbowed, shall shine my years :
My source of light is so divine
Surely the tears shall glow,
And love shall bend this life of mine
Into ii glorious bow ; -
High-arched to Heaven,yet reaching earth,
Lofty, yet stooping low,
What treasure at its end shall be

FEEDING WORK HORSES.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
account of the way the Adams Express Com-
pany feed their horses, which are always no-
ticeably sleek and fat: The number of
horses kept at the stable is fifty-four. Four
hostlcrs attend to these. Promptly at four
o’clock A. . M., the watchman of the stable
gives to each horse eight ears of corn. Then
about five o'clock. the hostlers commence
their duties. Of those under the care of each,
one by one is led to the watering trough and
then to the urinary. This consists of spit
sunken ten or twelve inces below the lever
of the basement ground floor and kept com-
paelly filled with sawdust and short shavings.
And it is a remarkable fact that a horse in
this stable scarely urinates excepting at this
place, especially prepared for him. When
the horses come in from‘ their work the bar-
nesses are removed, and they are then led at
once to the urinary. When a fresh or green
horse comes to the stable, by being driven
with some old “ stager” that knows the rules
of the stable, the new comer soon learns to
conform to the habits of the older inmates.
From five to seven o'clock each horse is
taken in hand thoroughly curried, brushed
and cleaned, from ten to fifteen minutes be-
ing spent by a hostler on each horse. A
damp woolen cloth is always rubbed over
the coat of a horse after being curried and
brushed. This serves to remove all loose
dandruff and to give that fine, glossy, sleek
appearance so noticeable in the animals of
this stable.
The horses are fed nothing in the morning
excepting the eight ears of corn. After be-
ing led back to the stalls when cleansed, they
are then ready for work. The same process
of carrying, brushing and cleaning is also
gone through with at noon and night, at the
close ofili'eir forencon and afternoon’s work.
At noon :ach horse is fed a pack of cats; At
night chopped feed is given. ' This composed
of sheaf cats or rye straw passed through a
straw cutter and then, when wet, ground
oats, corn and bran mixed with it. A peck
and a half of this is given to each horse. In
addition to the chopped feed, the rack is sup-
plied with eight or nine pounds of bright,
sweet timothy hay,this being the total amount
of hay'Whicb is fed. And .perhaps of this
supply the horse will not eat more than five
pounds during the next day.
While Mr. Barrett is particular to give
nothing but clean timothy hay in summer,
in cold weather he is willing to feed my
which is one-third clover. About once a
week a peek of oil-cake meal is mixed up
with the chopped feed, being equal to about
a third of a pint to a horse. This promotes
the uniform condition of the animals. And
if at any time the urine of a horse is cloudy
and thickened, a tableespoonfnl of pulverized
resin,’mixed up with chopped feed, is given
him. This acts upon his kidneys, and the
difficulty- is at once removed.
' The horses are g‘ivcn'What water they want
as they comc'in from their work, unless they
are “green,” and then care is taken not to
water or feed until they are thoroughly cool.
In a few weeks, after becoming habituated
to the regimen of the stables, the same course
is taken with the “. late cemers." Of course
if horses come in overheated, then they are
not watered until cooled off.
A very marked feature connected with the
stables is that the air is so sweet audvfresh.
And, probably, this is owing largely to the
. fact that scarcely. any urinating ever takes
placein the several stables.

At the meeting of the New York Academy
of Sciences last Monday evening, the paper
of most general interest was that given by
Prof. Egleston of the Columbia School of
Mines. on “Prehistoric Mining at Lake Su—
pcrior."
That copper occurred in that region h
been known since the Jesuit missionaries
first penetrated there by way of the St.
Lawrence, and sent fabulous accounts of it
to Rome; but nothing was known about it
with certainty until the time of Dr. Hough-
ton; whose discoveries were followed by a
“rush.” Two years more elapsed in an
eager struggle for wealth, so that it was not
until 1857 that it was discovered that there
had been an earlier mining of copper in that
region. Float-copper is to be found in great?
abundance there, and probably the first
utilization of the metal was made of such
pieces picked up on or near the surface.
It was soon found thata series of unaccount-
able depressions could be traced across the
country, more or less connected for a mile
or two miles in a line. One of these pits
after another was cleaned out in the course
of ”prospecting," and the digging always
revealed five or ten feet of sticks, leaves
and dirt, underneath which was found de;
posits of copper in amounts varying from
small pieces up to masses many tons in
weight. Systemotic efforts were then made
to ascertain the age and extent of this
early mining, and the result of this‘study.
was the conclusion that it was entirely pre-
historic.
Tbecopper district of the upper peninsula
of Michigan consists, as a whole, of three.
separate basins, each of which forms adia-
tinct mineral district with characteristics
of its own, necessitating peculiar processes
of mining. Each of these divisions thus
set apart in modern mining explorations is
found to have been similarly separated by
the ancients, who went over the whole ter-
ritory of each of these three productive
tracts, and mined in each sftera different
plan, setting the example for us who have
succeeded them. .
In Rockland, for instance, they began on
an outcrop and followed veins, sometimes
making a, short tunnel. There are escarp-
ments of V rocks 800 feet high, and nearly
vertical; yet these ancient miners, finding a
ledge of copper in the perpendicular face of
this cliff, somehow managed to get at it,
and worked in upon it until asort of cave
or niche had been formed. 0n the north-
ern side of Portage Lake they dug pits into
the outcrop, or rather a long trench, filling
in the dirt behind themes fast asthey uncov~
cred a new part of the visa in advance. In
the Eagle river district they had chipped
and scratched the outcrop of copper for a
mile. But these traces are hidden, not only
because the originally insignificant excava‘
tions have become filled up, but because'a
forest whose trees are two or three hundred
years old grows densly over the surface of
the filled-up pits and trenches, and proves“
the great antiquity of this old mining.
Such traces are to be found everywhere
throughout the copper region, but it takes
a practical eye to discover them. Hundreds»
of pits have been examined, and hundreds
more, no donbt,are still concealed in the
forest. Wherever the traces show extensive
ancient mining there the most remunerative
modern ventures have been made. All the
famous mines of the region were discovered
by following these indications of ancient
work. _
The supposition of the great age and en-
tirely prehistoric character of these opera-
tions is founded upon ample evidence. The
pits are choked with a filling-in of slow
accumulation, and over these grow a heavy
forest. There is no tradition whatever
among the Indians of any mining of copper
there; they do not do it themselves, know
of no race before them that ever did, and
have no suspicion of beds of metallic copper,
using only the small pieces found upon the
branches. This work, therefore, evidently
antedates the occupation of the region by the
present Indian race. '
These prehistoric miners were men of
much intelligence, and it may be said that
the prosperity of the region in present days
has been dependent upon the skill with
which these old miners picked out the veins
which were really valuable, and the fidelity
with which their lead has been followed.
In one of the earlier of the pits opened,
when the laborers got down below the loam,
and dead, broken wood, and substratum of
red clay, they found a single piece of me-
talic copper weighing six tons, which the
ancients, with their rude tools. had vainly
endeavored to raise. It was raised upon
skids, which were of soft oak not now
known-to grow in that latitude; but though
the pit was only fifteen feet deep they could
not apply force enough to lift‘or drag the
massout. _
The largest mine at present in the region
was discovered by working, on a similar dc-
prcssion, to' which some men were attracted
in their efforts to catch a runaway pig. At
the bottom was found a piece of. copper nine
inches thick and many feet long and broad,
onlyeighteen inches of which had ‘been
exposed by the ancient miners, who aban-
doned it because they saw the mass was too
unwieldly for ’ them to’ move. ' In this case
as before, they had. hammered and chopped
eff every angle "and projection which they
could possibly detach, until the surface was
perfectly smooth. .
When they found a vein of copper they
dug down into it by softening the rock with
fire and water, and picking and shoveling
it away: Their shovels were of wood, and
resembled in shape a canoe handle. _ Having
exposed the capper they. softened it by fire,
broke ‘and‘ cut off what they could by
means of gads and axes of hardened copper,
driven by mallets of stone'of varibus weights
and then abandoned the mass for s new
outcrop. The ‘_ speaker dwelt'upon the in—
teresting way in which, by the use of split
hickory sticks. green shows; and gut, they
were able to fasten ' very heavy stone ham-
mer heads to the helves. , They chose for
these sledgcs stones not hard, but tough,
and. so saved the heads of the copper wedg—
es. Wheu they got to a' depth where ,water
troubled them, they made wooden bowls
arranged channels of bark outside of the
pit, and kept the water out of the way
simply by persistent bailing. Very small
pieces of copper were thrown aside, for
these prehistoric people had no knowledge
of smelting and casting._ They knew fire
would soften 1 copper, and seem to have un—
derstood how‘to harden it, but did not know
it would melt.
When these mines were abandoned they
were deserted suddenly and forever; there
is everything to show that the work ceased
with the expectationiof resumption. It is also
evident that the men who worked , them
were not inhabitants of that region at the
time. All their tools and machinery are to
be seen, but there are no traces of domestic
life. Moreover, there are no traces of bur-
ial or human bones in any of these pits, but
plenty of animal boneswith signs of cooking
and the chase. There is no evidence
miners were all mature men who came
there in the summer, sustained. themselves
by hunting and fishing, and worked at
mining out copper which they tookgg'awoy

plausibility that. they i were of the same race
whobuilt the mounds of the Ohio Yalieynind
that after they had gone to Lake’Superior
year after year to get the copper which
their nation used in their arts, they were
at last prevented from these expeditions by
the advance of the warlike'lled Indians of
the North.
In remarks made by Mr. A. A. Julian and
others this view was adopted as probably
true, and the similarity was {painted on
between these Lake Superior mines and the
mica mines of the Alleghanies, which are
preferredto the same race.
England Under Free Trade.
(Providence Journal.)
..That was a pretty suggestiveadmission
of Lord'Beaconsfield in. ,the House of Lords
on Friday last, that since the .initiatiOn of
free trade as the policy of Great Britain,
the public wealth has diminished $400,000,-
.000, and the area of land under cultivation
1,000,000 acres. Of course this decrease of
wealth is not to be attributed alone to the
abandonment of protection; nor should we
except upon such high authority, have '
credited the statement of so great a loss.
But- Lord Beaconsfield attributed the low
prices, which prove this shrinkage, in part ’
to the depreciation of silver. And he also
finds the depreciation in value mostly in
the agriculth interest.
tended to say, not that the public wealth
in the aggregate had so much diminished,
.but that the value of land has so deprecia-
ted.‘ Whichever way maybe taken, the
lesson to be drawn from the fact is the
same; that it is not yet. proved how far
free trade in the long run, and for a given
nation, is advantageous. The‘ enormous in-
crease of the manufactures of Great Britain,
and their sale in the markets of the world,
appeared to show that all that country need
be anxious about was the extension of her
manufacturing products. But now she is
beginning to feel, and in some respects
severely. the competition of hercou‘tinental
countries, and of this. She maybe richer
to—day for her free trade policy; but she
is in a fine condition dangerous to'her in-
ternal welfare and peace, and threatening
even to her merely monetary progress. Ifshe
begins to doubt her owu'wisdom in regard to_
free trade, it certainly behooves newer coun-
tries to be cautious in fellowing her advice
and example.
Stalwart Speech Making.
Senator Zack Chandler’s famous speech
on the question of pensioniug Jeff Davis
was not his maiden effort in stalwart elo-
quence. In the Thirty-ninth Congress Sen-
ator Hendricks, of Indians, took occasion
totaunt him with having written a letter in
1861 in which he said: “The Union is
hardly worth preserving without a little
blood.letting;” and his reply to that taunt
opened up a rich quarry of his stalwart
power of speech, which has lost nothing of
its force [and power by having been laid
aside and out of sight for a decade or more.
.—It is as follows :
The Senator from Indiana, has arraigned
me upon an old indictment, for having writ-
tenacertain letter in 1861. It is not the
first time that I have been arrau ed in that
indictment of “blood—letting.” was first
arraigned for it on this floor by that trail-
or, John C. Breckinbridge, . and I answered
the traitor, John C. Breckindridge; and
after I gave him that answer, he went out
into the rebel ranks and fought against a...
flag. I was arminged by another Senator
from Kentucky, and by other traitors upon
this floor. I expect to be arraigned again.
(0 my prophetic soul I) I-vlrote that letter,
and ‘1 stand by that letter; andwhat was it?
'What was the position of the country when
that letter was written? The Democratic
party, as an organization, had arrayed itself
against the Government—a Democratic
traitor in the Presidential chair, and a Dem
ocratic traitor in every Department of this
Government; Democratic traitors preach-
ing treason on this floor, and preach-
ing treason in the Hall of the
other House; Democratic traitors in
your army and in your navy; Democratic
traitors in every Department of this Gov-
ernment. Your flag was fired upon, and no
response. The Democratic party had or-
dained that this Government should be over-
thrown, and I as a Senator from Michi-
gan, wrote to the Governor of that State,
“Unless you are prepared to shed blood
for the preservation of this Government, the
Government is overthrown.” That is all
there was of that letter. That I said, and
say again; and tell that Senator if he is
prepared to go down in history with the
Democratic traitors who then co-operated
with him, I am prepared to go down on that
“blood-letting" letter, and I stand by the
record as then made. '
The blood of the Stalwart Michigander
contains a strong admixture of iron, which
never fails to develop itself when in a
heated stoe, and those who do not care to
bring it on exhibition at sight will avoid
«occasions when the vital fluid is liable to
become feverish.

A Closely Guarded Weight.
There is deposited at the the Mint, Broad
street, Philadelphia, a troy pound weight
which is kept under duplicate locksand seals.
There is a curious history connected with this
weight. By it is determined the standard to
which the accuracy of the gold and silver
coins of the United States must attain. The
commission appointed by the President to
test coins and make the annual assay, use
this weight, and on these occasions it is tak-
en from its carefully guarded seclusion, and
it shows the accuracy or inaccuracy of the
productions of the various mints in this coun-
try. This little cylinder is copicd from a troy
pound weight preserved in the Tower of Lon-
don, and on this latter the coinage of Great
Britain rests for reliability. This exact wit-
ness of financial integrity is carefully preserv-
ed and guarded from tampering hands. At
the conclusion of the assay commission’s la-
bors the weight is intrusted to the care of a
Judge of the United States District Court,
the Collector of the Port, and'the Director of
the Mint, locked up and solemnly sealed for
another year, only to appear twelve months
after and show which mint has been derelict
in its work.

"Grotalt’s" Crimes.
——
The English papers bring accounts of the
death and crimes of William Broadbead,
who in 1848 was appointed Secretary to
the Sawgrinders' Union, and whose efficient
services in that capacity led Charles Read
towrit‘e “Put Yourself in his Place” and
give him a conspicuous part therein as
“Grotait.” This Broadhead did not receive
the due reward of his crimes in this world,
as he made his end peacefully in his own
bed, contrite at the last, and probably,
though this is not stated, sure of a crown
anda blessed immortality with the rest of
the great and repentant criminals. Under
his management the Sawgrinders were an
influential body, ant! the master‘ or man
who dared to “kick” was made to feel a suf-
ficient though mysterious vengeance. His
“vengeance committee” were appionted to
blow up their victims with gunpowder. The
Sheffield Mary Anne" carried about with her
canisters of that deadly material, and a chim-
ney, door or window served as avenues of
vengeance against those whom the secretary
has decided to punish. Sharp as Broadhead
was he did not; escape suspicion, but it was
not until October, 1806, that he was brought
toja standstill. A particularly damaging
explosion .of gunpowder caused the Shef-
field manufacturers to offer a thousand
pounds reward for the detection of the vil-
laus who did the deed, and the Government
offered an additional one hundred pounds.
But even this pretty sum failed to induce
Broadhead’s trusty conspirators to “peach,”
and the trade—unions also offered one hun-
dred pounds reward, as proof that they
knewnothing about it. An unterrified ed-
itor, however, insinuated that Broadhead
knew something about the outrages, and did
not withdraw his charges even when Broad-
head announced that he would sell his shirt
if necessary to meet the cost of proceedings
against the paper which had so cruelly
belied him. At last, manily through the
efforts of the editor, a commission were
appointed to investigate the whole system
of trade outrages at Shefileld, and absolute
indemnity was promised to all witnesses
whowouldtell the whole truth, however
deeply they might have been compromised
in the crimes committed. The following
gives an account of the subsequent proceed-
ings:
Two of the men examined who had been
Broadhead’s hired braves began to make
appallingly damaging revelations concerning
him, and be, finding the toils tightening
around him, at length fully confessed his
guilt. The narrative of Broadhead began
with 1853, when be procured the ham-
stringiug of a horse whose owner, one Park-
er, had been guilty of working with non-
unionists. This warning being disregarded
Broadband hired two men to shoot Parker,
and Parker was shot on Whit-Monday,1854.
In August, 1859, be caused his braves to
track one Linley from house to house to
murder him. The victim was found at
glast sitting in the room of apublic house,
and he was shot from the yard and through
a window by means of an air gun He died
some weeks afterwards from the effects of
his wounds. Previously Linley had been
blown up once and shot once, always at
Broadhead's directions. It was declared by
Broadhead that he intended the man to be
shot, but not slain outright, and be added
that it was with “very great pain” that he
had consented to the proposals for shooting
him. “It came upon him." be remarked.
“as an unpleasant subject.” For the shoot-
ing of Linley he had paid £15 audhe took
some £200 out of the funds of the union
for the purpose of bribing the rufiians who
executed his murderous behests. , Before
having Linley killed, Broadhead secured
the blowing up of Samuel Baxter, of Loxley,
another impenitent and ac] -will d saw-
grina... A , couple or men as a ter rue
shooting of Linley, one Helliwell, who had
not been brought up as a sawgrinder, was
for the offence of working at that trade
blown up by gunpowder, which was ignited
by the sparks from the “glazier” as he be-
gan to work. Broadhead had delivered
three cans of gunpowder to a man called
Clark for the destruction of the tnterloping
sawgriuder. and -half a can full had been
placed by Clark in Helliwell’s trough. The
poor man was not killed, butonly blinded.
Broadhead drew up a plan for shooting him,
but relinquished it, and blew up art of the
factory of Messrs. Wheatman &. mith who
had sinned greatly by introduciugauew mode
of grinding saws. At the close of the sittings
of the commission he received, according
to the pledge given to the guilty witnesses,
a certificate of indemnity, though by his
own admission a murderer and a suborner of
murderers.
Broadbead came to America, but as the
Mollie Maguires were not then fiourishing,he
did not find congenial company and returned
to England, where he spent the remainder of
his days, being “rattened’.’ by death at the
age of sixty-three and leaving a wife and ten
children.

Fair land of Saints immortal,
The home of Chiefs and Kings,
The brightest light in ages past
When truth seemed but a dream.
And though thy star of glory
May have set to rise no more,
Thy sons shall ever love thee
Their own, their native shore.
Fair Land a.
The tyrant holds dominion
Throughout old Erin's plains,
For those who love, thee more than life
There’s naught but grief remains.
And many a braveand noble heart
Would gladly set thee free,
Or share the fate of those who fought
And freely died for thee.
Her chains have been oppressive,
Her wrongs they have been sore,
And those who fought for liberty
Will rise to fight no more.
Though oft on many a battle—field,
And many a field of dead,
The purest blood in Erin
For freedom's cause was shed.
Her glory has departed,
Her sweetest Bards are dead ;
No more the swelling anthems
From Tara’s halls are heard.
Her foudest hopes have withered,
They moulder in decay; ‘
Let them sleep in silent slumbers
’Till the dawn of frecdom’s day.
The names of those who loved thee most,
We breathe them with a sigh;
‘ We won true devotion,
For thee they lived and died.
While» others wait with patience,
And faithful shall remain
Until they see their dear old land,
‘ A nation once again.
Perhaps the sun of freedom
May dawn on Erin soon,
And by his radiant beauty
Dispel the night of gloom
That long has overshadowed
That nation green and fair,
That once was queen of all the earth,
And fairest of the fair.

Mr. P. W. Ilerris, the Superintendent of
the Yellowstone National Park, on a recent
visit to the capital gave a lecture on some of
the natural curiosities of the region over
which he presides and is engaged in explor-
ing. Among these may :be mentioned as the
most novel a mountain of obsidian or volcan-
ic glass, and a road made from this material.
Near the foot of Beaver Lake the explorers
discovered this mountain of glass,which there
rises in basalt-like columns and countless
huge masses many hundreds of feet high from
ahissing hot spring forming the margin of the
lake, thus forming a barrier where it was
very desirable that a wagon road should be ;
as the glass barricade sloped for some three
hundred feetlhigh at an angle of 45 degrees
to the lake, and its glistening surface was
therefore impassible, there being neither
Indian nor game track over it. To make the
road. huge fires were made against the glass
to thoroughly heat and expand it, and then
by dashing cold water from the lake, against
the heated glass suddenly. cool. the latter,
causing large fragments to break from the
mass, which were afterward broken by
sledge: and picks, but not without severe
lacerations of the hands and faces of the
party, with which a wagon read one quarter
of a mile long was constructed, about mid—
way along the slope, thns making, it is be-
lieved, the only read of native glass upon the.
continent. ' .
0n reaching the Grand canon of the Gibson
river, the explorers found the eastern pali-
sade, for about two miles in Iength,to consist
of vertical pillars, hundreds'Of feet high, of
glistening black, yellow, mottled, or banded
obsidian or vulcanic glass. ’
This obsidian has been audis still used by
the Indians for making arrowheads and other
weapons and tools, and the mountain has
formed a vast quarry for the making of such
instruments or weapons of a "quality and
quantity unequaled anywhere—Scientific

A Disagreeable Drop.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning a crow-
bar was dropped down the main vertical shaft
of the Savage, from the surface, and went di-
rectly through a cage at the bottom, piercing
the bonnet and floor. No one was on the cage
at the time and no one was hurt, yet it is un-
pleasant to one making a trip into a mine to
reflect that such things sometimes occur. As
the bar fell something over five hundred
yards it was traveling with the rapidity and
vim of a cannon ball when it struck the cage.
A bit of gravel no larger than 'a filbert sings
like a bullet toward the latter part of such a
journey. A door once fell into a shaft at
Gold Hill, md‘ugb the shaft was but 300
feet in depth, two men upon whom the ani-
mal landed were killed, as also was the
clumsy car that had failed to hop across the
top of the shaft. A rat once fell down the
Consolidated Virginia shaft in attempting to
spring across a compartment, from wall-plate
to wall-plate, and 1,100 feet below landed on
the bald head of a miner and exploded like a
bomb, causing the miner to think a rock had
cut open the top of his skull and let out his
brains. A grain of bird shot dropped into
the top of a shaft 1,500 feet in depth would
probablybury itself in a plank or _a piece of
wood it might strike at the bottom. This
being the case, we repeat that it is not pleas-
ant to think of such thin‘gsas crowbars going
down shafts.—- Virginia Oily Enter-pros.

Prince Louis Napoleon is said to be a
sunny, sweet—tempered youth. He is an ex-
cellent linguist, as the attendants placed
about him during his childhood were of dif-
ferent nationalities; when he was only seven
cars old he could read in four languages.
uis Connesu,who shared his boyish studies
at the Tulleiies, is still the Pnnce’s most
trusted friend.
