Adventures in Patagonia.
[From “Across Patagonia,” by Lady Florence
Dixie.)
As the hunters rode along, they were sur-
prised by the sudden appearance of a man on
horseback, whom they first supposed to been
Indian, but who proved to be a Chilian who
had abandoned civilized life and taken tip his
abode with the Indians. He was dressed in
a guanaco robe, and his long black" hair, his
face, legs and hands tanned to a coffee color,
gave him no little resemblance to the natives. .
The Chilian rode with them to the camp.
and, over pipes and coffee that night, a coun-
oil was held, by the whole party as regards
ostrich hunting for the morrow.’ -
“The Chilian suggested the forming of a
circle and professed himself willingpin re-
turn fer our hospitality, to remain another
day and join in the affair. Forming a circle
is the method by. which ,the Indians nearly
always obtain game. It is formed by light-
ing fires round a large area of ground, into
which the different hunters ride from all
sides. A complete circle of blazing fires is
thus obtained, and, any game found therein
is pretty sure to become the prey of the
dogs.as no ostrich or guanaco will face a fire.
Wherever they turn they see before them a
column of smoke, or are met by dogs and
horsemen. Escape becomes almost impossi-
ble, and it is not long before they grow be-
wildered and are captured. In anticipation
of a hard day’s work on 'the marrow, we
hereupon broke up our council of. war, and
turned in at an earlier hour than usual.
“N ext morning, the horses being all ready,
we lost no time in springing into the saddle,
leaving Storer to take charge of the camp.
For about' half an hour we followed rege-
rio and the Chilian along a line of broken
hillocks. after which, calling a halt, we sent
forward Guillaume and I’Aria to commence
the first and most distant-proceedings of the
circle. They departed at a brisk center, and "
it was net long before several rising columns
of smoke testified'that they were already
busily engaged. The next‘ to compose the
center Circle were my husband, Francois and
Mr. B., shortly after supported on the right
by the Chilian and my brother. Immediate-.
ly on their left Gregorio and myself cem-.
menced operations, and soon a distinct circle
of fires mightlbe seen springing quickly up
from all points. I could not 1p being
greatly impressed with the novel sightbefore
me. From the high plain we , were on 1
could look over miles and miles of untrodden
desertland, where countless herds of guana-
co were roaming in peaceful, lazy case. In
the distance towered the peaks of the Andes,
wrapped in their cloak of mystery, lonely
and unexplored. _ The huge columns of
smoke and the lurid flames of the circle-fires
lent a wild appearance to the thrilling scene,
to which the frightened knots of guanaces,
which were hurrying to escape from the
circle, and the eager, galloping horsemen.
lent additional active animation.
“For some time Gregorio and I rode slow-
ly and silently on our way, when a sudden
unexpected bound which my horse gave dil
but unseated inc. ‘Avestruzl Avestruz !'
shouted Gregorio, and turned his horse with
a quick movement. ‘Chool chool Plate l’
I cry to the dog who followed at my horse's
heels,as a fine male ostrich scudded away toi
ward the hills we had just left, with the
speed of lightning. Plata has sighted him,
and is straining every limb to reach the ter-
rified bird. He is aplucky dog and a fleet
one, but it will take him all his time to come
alongside that great raking ostrich as he
strides away in all the conscious pride of his.»
strength and speed. ‘We ‘shall' lose him!’ I
cry, half mad with excitement, spurring my
horse, who is beginning to gasp and falter as
the hill up which we are struggling grows
steeper and steeper. But the ostrich sudden-
ly doubles to the left. and commences a hur-
ried descent. The cause is seen explained,
for, in the direction toward which he has
been making, a great cloud _of smoke rises
menacingly in his path, and, balked of the
refuge he had hoped to find amid/the hills,
the great bird is forced to alter his course,
and make swiftly for the plains below. But
. swiftly as he flies along, so does Plats, who
finds a down-hill race much better ”suited to
his splendid shoulders and rare stride. Foot
by foot he lessens the distance that separates
him from his prey, and get. nearer and near-
er to the fast-sinking, fast-tiring bird. Away
we go, helter-skelter down the hill, undefeat-
ed and unchecked by: the numerous obstacles
that obstruct the way. Plate is alongside
the ostrich, and gathers himself for a spring
at the bird’s throat.‘ ‘He has him, he has
him !’ I shout to Gregorio, who does not
reply, but urges his horse on with whip and
spur. ‘Has he got him, though?’ Yes-no
—the ostrich, with a rapid twist, has shot
some thirty yards ahead of his enemy, and,
whirling round, makes for the hills
once more. And now begins the struggle
for victory. The ostrich has decidedly the
best of it, for Plats, though he struggles
gamely, does not like the uphill work, and
at every stride loses ground. There is an-
other fire on the hill above, but it lies too
much to the left to attract the bird’s atten-
tion, who has evidently a safe line of escape
in view in that direction. on, on we press;
on, on flies the ostrich; bravely and gamely
struggles in its wake poor Plata.. ‘Can he
stay i” I cry .te Gregorio, who smiles and
node his head. He is right, the dog can stay,
for hardly have the Words left my lips When,
with a tremenduous effort, he puts on a
spurt, and races up alongside the ostrich.
Once more the bird points for the plain; he.
is béginning to falter, but he is‘ great and
strong, and is not beaten yet. It will take
all Plata's time and cunning to pull that
magnificent bird to the ground, and it
will be along, fierce struggle are the gallant
creature yields up his life. Unconscious of
anything but the excitingichfle before me, I
am suddenly disagreeshly .mminded this
there 129' such a thing ascaution. and necessi-
ty to look where you are going to, for, put—-
ting his foot in an unusually deep tuca—tuca
hole, my little horse comes with a crash upon
msghead, and turns completely over on his
back, burying me beneath him in a hopelpal
muddle. Fortunately. beyond a shaking, I
am unhurt, and, remounting, endeavor to re-
jein the new somewhat distant chase. ' The
ostrich, Gregorio, and the dog have reached
the plain, and as I gallop quickly down the
bill I can see ' that _ the bird has begun
doubling. This is a sure sign of fatizueand
shows that the ostrich’e strength is beginning
to fail him. Nevertheless it is a matter of
no small difficulty'for one dog to secure his
prey, even at this junoture,as he cannot turn
and twist about as rapidly as the ostrich. At
each double the bird shoots far ahead "of his
pursuer, and gains considerable advantage.
Away across the plain the two animals fly,
while i and Gregorio press eagerly in their
wake. The excitement grows every moment
more intense, and I watch the dim struggle
going on with the keenest interest. .Sud-
denly the stride of the mic grows slower,
his doubles become more frequent, showers
of feathers fly in every direction as Plain
seizes him by the tail, which comes away in
his month. In another moment the do: has
him by the throat, and for a few moments
nothing can be distinguished but a gray,
struggling heap. Then Gregorio dashes for-
ward and throws hillself efi his horse,
breaks the bird’s neck, and when I arrive
upon the scene the struggle is over. The
run had lasted for twenty-five minutes."

Letters froin the People.
.Wksmeron, D. 0., March 4th, 1881.
To 'm Gazarrn :—On Tuesday morning,
March 1st, at 5:30, the' P. M. and I started
to witness the inauguration ceremonies at
Washington. Our railroad connections being
perfeCt we soon found ourselves seated in a
very commodious car of the Pennsylvania
railroad bound for Philadelphia. We passed
through the populous city of Newark, the
bankrupt yet beautifully laid out city of
Elizabeth; the small manufacturing town of
Rahway; the healthy hills of New Bruns-
wick; the town of Princeton, noted for the
famous battle in which >Washington outgen-
ernled Cornwallis and received the commend-
ation of foreign povvers; thence to Trenton,
on the Delaware. which Washington crossed
en the 25th of December, 1777, and took
1,000 Hessians prisoners, and where the
noble General Mercer, who eat a rattlesnake
to prevent starvation, was killed. These‘
towns are noted as being the seats of col-
leges. - '
After passing a small station called Bristol,
we were soon in the depot at Philadelphia,
which does not impress the traveler very
pleasantly, as the beautiful portions of the,
city are not at this point. The clear waters
of the Schuylkill were on our left as we left
the city. -
We were soon on our way to the menu-
mental city of Baltimore, Md. Our first
station after leaving Philadelphia was Ches-
ter, after which We were soon in the chief
town of theKState. The Brandywine furn—
_ishes water power for several very extensive
manufactories, among the more important of
which 'is' the manufacture of gunpowder.
After passing Elktewn and Havre de Grace
we glided under a system of very costly and
beautiful iron bridges, and were soon in the
more, which is built upon a hill. Here our
memories carried us back to the slaughter of
our Union boys of the 6th Mass, in the
streets of this city, on the morning of April
19, 1861. . -
; From Baltimore we were on a single track
road to Washington, which runs very slow
until we were thrown in sight of the mag'nifls
.cent dome of the capitol, and- we were seen
landed at the depot of the Baltimoreyand
Potomac railread.
Our first business after arriving, which
was at about five o'clock in the aiterncon,
was to provide for our comforts while in the
city, and after being informed by .a police-
man where H street waspwe proceeded to
find it, and we were not many minutes in
finding our noble hearted and generous
townsmsn and his family, whose kindness
we shall not soon forget, and whose services
were invaluable in showing us the city and
also in introducing us to the dignitaries of
the government. After we had secured our
lodging and fodder we were shown the bean-
tiful streets and avenues of the city.
First we called at the Arlington House
where we were made acquainted with ex-
Gov. Jewell, Senator Platt and Represenative
Fred. W. Miles ; then we visited the reposi-
tory of the captured national emblems of the
Union and. Confederate forces, also the
chamber of ordinance relics.
Near the Arlington House stands the resi
dence of the lamented Charles Sumner, in
which he died. Further on we had pointed
out to us the tre ind which Daniel E.
Siekles skulked aft ooting Philip Barton
Key, also tl‘house occupied by Wm. H.
Seward when the attempt was made to assas-
sinate him,and stood in the doorway through
which his assailant fled after knocking Fred.
Seward insensible; had pointed out to us the
exact spot where Mrs. Surratt vvas hung, also
the original house occupied by ‘ Charles.
Carrollton,and the original church where the
father of his country worshippedi We visit-
ed the Treasury buildings, which were built’
to face with the points of the compass, and
was introduced to the U. S. Treasurer, Jae.
Gilfillan: we also visited the White House
and its splendid parlers—the Blue Roem,tho
President’s Reception Room, &c. We were
also introduced to Inspector-General of
Steamboats,Dumont.
The next place of interest was ‘ the Wash-
ington Monument, which is 55 feet square at
the base with an inside stairway to the top :
.the walls are sixteen feet thick at the base.
When completed it willbe 557 feet ‘high.
From this in an easterly direction about 300
feet stands a‘ massive ' brick building where
the national money is primed,a place of very
great importance and which is managed with
great precision. Farther east is the Agricul-
tural Hall, full of interest to the farmer. and
farther east still are the buildings known as
‘the smithsonlan Institute; in this arestored
all the collections of the -United States
exploring expeditions, with almost endless
curiosities from all parts of the world..
Mummies and bottled snakes in abundance.
The next-place of interest was Arlington
Heights, on the sa'cred soil of Virginia, which
we reached after riding two and a half miles
in a crowded car to Georgetown. .Here is
the celebrated Georgetown College, probably
the oldest Roman Catholic College in this
country. Was founded in 1789, and is under
the care of the “Fathersef the Society of
Jesus." - .
New shanks were made to play their part
and we walked over the Aqueduct Bridge
which crosses the Potomac. This bridge
serves a double purpose, which is this: on a
level of the feet of the adjoining banks it car-
ries the Washington and Alexandria canal
over to the east side of the Potomac, where
it intersects with. the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, and above this the traveling public
cross. v
After reaching the Virginia shore we pro.
ceeded up the hill to the famous Arlington
estate, on the south side of the Potomac,
which overlooks the capital. Over 15,000 of
the Unit‘m dead lie interred around the for-
mer beautiful home of the great-granddaugh-
_ter of Martha Washington, who became the
wife of the Confederate Chieftain, General
Robert E. Lee. This estate contains 1,100
acres, is set apart as a national cemetery and
fenced by a substantial red stone wall; It
was purchased by the government at a tax
sale in 1864, for $26,800, and was built by
Gedifi Washington Parke Custis, whose.
grade is just west of the mansion, marked by
a pretty slab on which is an inscription which
’ reads as follow: “George Washington
Parke Custis, born 1781, died 1857." By the
side of this stands another monument com-
memorating Mary L. Custis. Beyond this,
southerly, stands a granite bloék monument
called the ‘éUnknown Tomb,” in which are
place the remains of 2,111 unknown soldiers
gathered from the battle fields of Bull, Run
and the route to the Rappfihannock.
North of this cemetery are still to be seen
the remains of earthworks thrown up by the
Union Soldiers. .
The next thing that attracted our atten-
tion was a crow convention. It seemed as is
if the Leo mansion was becloudsd in dark-
nessby the enormous fiocks or crows. This
mansion overlooks the city of Washington,
the Potomac and the beautiful valley below.
We wandered through this ancient structure
and found many old relics of Revolutionary
fame. We thought of Cram but our purses
forbade us to do more. There we recorded
and‘mine 113,682, The portico in front was
surrounded by eight immense Dorie columns
bowels of the earth under the city of Balti- '
'eui names; Mr. 0's number being 113,631.
and thc'situatien is fine and the view can , .
scarcely be excelled. I suppose this was one
of the palatial homes of the South. North
‘of this is the United States Signal Station,
afilcered by 80 men. .Wc will not ferget to
.mention that we‘ got a considerable of the
sacred soil on our boots and bought the first
native service we could secure to apply a
brush vigorously ;' here we left what spare
pennieswe had and started for our hotel as
the dimer hour was close at hand.
We visited the large granite building to be
occupied by the War, Navy and Stats De-
partments,‘where the columns in front were
all of one stone each and the top stones on
the east side ofthe south steps were twenty
feet squ‘are and one feet thick.
We then visited the Post Office Depart-
ment where .we were shown the disposition
of the'dead letters that find their way to this
office from being misdirected or not directed
at all, or not called fer, and many other rea-
sons. Saw many specimens of what are, sent
through the mails; one was a large, live rat-
tle snake packed in a perforated till can;
this was preserved in alcohol. . '
After » this we visited the Patent Office
where we were introduced to the Secretary
of the Interior, Carl Schulz. Examined the
old Ford’s Theatre where Lincoln. was shot,
and the small, three-stery brick house opp.)-
site, to which the President was taken after
being shot, and where 'he died. A marble
slab has been inserted in the front of this
building on which is inscribed, "A. Lincoln,
died Aprilld, 1865.” This theater has been
purchased by the government at a cost of
$88,000, and is used asithe Army Medical
Museum. ' ‘
The'next place to visit was the Lincoln
Monument; by the Freedmen, upon which is
inscribed the following: ' .
“And upon the act. eternally believed to‘be
an act of justice, warranted by the Constitu-
tion upon military necessity, I- invoke the
considerate judgment of mankind and the
gracious favor of Almighty God."
, . A. Luioohiv,
Emancipation Proclamation,
January 1st, 1863.
This menument faces the Capitol west,and
has a colored man kneeling in front with the
broken shackles, one part on each wrist, and
also the chain ahd ball severed from the
ankle, and the whip lying- by his side with a
main shaft at the President's right hand and
'a broken one on the left, over which he‘is
represented as reading theProclamation, and
'on the west side is an inscription which my
memory fails to write out but the substance
of which was that a colored woman by the
name of Scott gave the first 85 she earned
after being made free, and which constituted
the basis of the enterprise.
1 The Capitol stands on an eminence,the base .
Iof which on the easterly side is viewed by
:the East Potomac and from which on all,
:sides divurge eleven handsome avenues,
jnamed, many of them, after the states of the
Union, of which Pennsylvania Avenue on
the west is the most beautiful of any on the
continent. The numbered streets run north
and south, the lettered streets east and west,
commencing with the letter A on the south,
and they all cross each other at right angles.
The city isdivided into four division; called
the N. E., N. W., S. E. and S. W. The
dome of the Capitol is the most magnificent
structure in America. built almost wholly of
iron. There are stairs leading entirely around
the outside of the dome to the very top.
The entire height is 877 feet above tide wa—
ter. The structure is 751 feet 4 inches in
iength,and the whole building covers an area .
of three and one-half acres. Its cost to the
present time is $13,000,000.
- The site of the capitol was located by a
bill presented in the U. S. Senate by Pierce
Butler, of South Carolina, and received the
signature of the President July 16, 1790. _
Time and space will not permit us to give
you a description of the inside of the Capi.
tel buildings, of which enough might be said
to cover the whole four pages of- your paper.
, The inaugurationuwas just. grand. Long
before the President and. party made their
appearance the stand was literally packed
With the most distinguished of the land.
Shortly after the hour arrived, the President
and President-elect appeared with Chief‘
Justice Morrison H. Waite, Mrs. Hayes,
Mrs. Garfield and her children, the President
elect’s mother, Mrs. Blaine, David Davis,
Roscoe Conklin, Geo. H. Pendleten, and a
host of others. After the party had become
seated, Mr.‘Pendleton presented the Presi-
dent-elect to an audience, by some stated to
be 50,000, after which the stately mannered
gentlemen and Christian scholar of the Great
West pronounced one of the most able in.
augural addresses ever echoed under the
dome of the Capitol. ‘ '
The markets of this beautiful city are even
nicer and more extensive than in the city of,
New Yerk, and the produce generally very-
much cheaper. Very truly yours, B. J. S.

I have been charged with being a stalwart

ways been a Republican, and in one sense I
am a stalwart Republican. [Applause] I
am a Republican because I believe in the
principles and policy of the Republican party.
I am .a Republican because I believe that
party is the party that saved the‘Union.
[Applause] Believing this, it would. bere-
creant on my part—recreant to my principles.

and keep in power the Republican party.
But, at the same time, I should not forget, I
do not forget, that I'm the chosen represen—
tative of all the people. I shall try to repre-
sent faithfully and honestly all the best inter-
ests of this people. I believe that the best
government, the Government that the people
want, is the meet honest government. . [Ap.
plause.] I believe in such a policy as will in-
sure a wise and sagaciOus economy and_ a
perfectly honest administration of the Gov-
ernment in all its departments. That is the
sort of government the people want at this
time in the United States. I expect, gentle-g
men, the next six years to be the most liab—
berlousgperied of my life. I desire to do
nothing and have no business, no interests to
devote my attention to,save public aflairs. I
shall attend strictly to the duties of my office,
and have no business to distract my attention
from it. I shall have nothing to do but- to

Winter in the South. .
_ A gentleman who went to Aiken, S. 0., in
December, in searCh of a’ sweet, warm air
laden with the odors of pine groves, sends to
the Tn'bune-a melancholy account ofhis ex-
perience. He writes that there has been inlet
or rain more than half the time, and that the
wind is often so bleak andblustering that only
“robust invalids” can, go out of doors. The.
mercury has jumped about. like an acrobat
between 3 deg. and 78 deg. For a Week the.
ground was frozen solid, and snow and he
lay unmelted in the streets. The people, .81"
ways wear their everceats, .and wraps when
they go out of doors, and generally keep them
on in the. house. From October to April
there is'no aroma from the pines, though the
natives say there is such a thing in summer.
The houses are not properly provided with
heating apparatus, and visitors from" the
North were beginning to think that they might
..as well have stayed at home so far as the tem-
perature is concerned. No doubt this is an
exceptional winter, in Aiken, as it has been
everywhere else. v :1 : ' . :

Destroyers of Contagion.
. Boston Journal of Chemistry.
Modern science has let in a ~ flood of light
upon the cause of many illnesses, and the na-
ture of the contagia upon which their prepay
gatien depends. Not only has the cause of
disease been traced to agents external to the
body, but the exact form of these disturbing
organisms has been pointed out. They con-
sist of minute particles, probably in most or
all cases of a vegetable nature; they are
therefore non-gaseous and in no respect com-
port themselves like gaseous bodies.
The contagious principle of fever is cork-
screw-like spirilla ;’ in other diseases it ap-
pears as a large motionless rod, in others as a
solid body, ragged, and nearly round. These
bodies float in the atmosphere in clouds, and
when inhaled, or when they ’come in contact
with abraided surfaces, inoculation occurs,
nndthe disease is of the type peculiar to the
nature of the specific poison. The bodies
start in the circulation a morbid chemical
action, or serve as a ferment, which disturbs
or devitalizesthc blood, and thus produces
most serious illnesses. . - ' -
Malarinl fevers, measles,diphtherin, scarlet
‘fever, smallpox, and many other alarming
diseases result from blood poisoning through
'the action of these curious external agents.
So long as the nature of the noxious material
was unknown, the chemical agents, as disin-
fectants, deodorants, antiseptics, etc.,’ were
selected to satisfy the most various and dis
similar theories as to its nature and'proper
ties; but since a better understanding has
been reached,‘a more intelligent and scientific
selection and use of these substances can be
made. his important that in families where
cases of zymetic disease prevail, accurate
knowledge .should he possessed as to the
methods of preventing a spread of the cen-
tagion. Every physician should be Well in-
formed en this subject, but unfortunately
some of them are not. -
Of course, the septic germs, in cams of
smallpox,» diphtheria,etc., fall upon the floors
and walls of rooms,‘ upon the bed, and upon
the clothing of attendants. Upon these de-
posits the solid or liquid disinfectants expos-
ed in the- room have little or no effect;
nothing but thorough cleansing and ventila-
tion, with the use of gaseous disinfectants,
will expel them. The‘ best method to disin-
fect clothing is by the use of heat. Experi-
ment has shown that no form of centagia can
withstand a temperature of 220°, F. ; there-
fore, clothing placed in a hot box two hours,
with dry heat above that of boiling water.
is thoroughly disinfected; or it may be
soaked in boiling water with the same result.
Vaccine matter may be taken as the type
of a virulent material, and experiments upon
this poison prove that disinfectants, to be ef—
fectual, must be used 'in much larger quantity
than has-usually been considered neeesssary.
If the destroying agent is ofian acid nature,
the virus must-be rendered permanently and
strongly acid. The end desired is to destroy
the infective power completely. It is not
generally known that carbolic acid, in quail.
tity equal to two per cent. of the virus, is
incapable of doing this work upon vaccine
virus. It deprives it of its infective power
for the time being, but this returns as soon
as the carbolic acid has escaped through ex-
posure to the air.
Clorine is a gaseous body, and is in ordina-
ry cases an effective disinfectant. It is,
however, inferior to sulphuric acid; this is
the most valuable agent we have, but unfor-
tunately it is not safe in inexperienced hands.
A room in which a case of infectious disease
has been placed can be thoroughly cleansed
by burning a little sulphur in the absence of
the inmates. The sulphurous acid is a gas
exCeedingiy disagreeable and irrespirable,
and great caution is necessary in its use.
Permanganate of potash is a true disinfect-
ant, having oxidizing powers'of high capa-
bility, but it must be used in much larger
quantities than are usually employed. Its
clearly seen how it can ever become much
cheaper. Chloride. of lime, freely used, is a
good disinfectant; but when it is placed in
vesaels in small quantities in sick rooms, or
sparingly sprinkled in drains, it has but
slight influence as a destroyer of contagion.
Carbonate of lime is a cheap and good disin-
fectant, but it must be used in large amounts
to be useful. ' Several of the metallic salts
have powerful antiseptic properties; for ex-
ample, the protosulphate of iron. This salt,
in strong solution, is a valuable agent, and is
worthy of notice. At this point it should be
stated that carbolic acid and the metallic
salts, used in small quantities, are preserva-
tive agents, and may actually prolong the life
of ,contagium by preventing its destruction.
through natural processes.
‘ There are numerous patented “antiseptics,”
and “disinfectants,” which are perfectly
worthless so far as any influence upon septic
germs is concerned. It is very important
that heads of families, and especially physi-
cians, should clearly understand what is
required when selecting an agent for practi-
cal use. Contagious particles of all forms
are imbedded in an epithelial or 'albuminous
covering, and they do not yield their vitality
readily, and never to improper agents. There
are good deodorants which arrest putrifac—
tion and fermentation, and yet completely
fail to destroy contagious particles.

The Big Trees of Puget Sound.
The fir tree growth of Puget Sound form

CRADLE-TIME.
O lullaby l O lullabyl '
The stars are in the frosty sky:
I see the full round moon arise,
So shut your little tired eyes;
Leave moon and stars the watch to keep,
, And go to sleep, dear. go to sleep!
So loath the lashes are to seek
The rosy velvet of her cheek, .
That long I rock, and bush, and hunt;
Before the drowsy god will come.
At last he comes, thonghswsst and still, .-
Bearing her off against her will.
Something besides the cradle's swing
Or the low lullhbj' I sing— I’
I know not either how or 1th '
Must touch her hushed and slumbenng sense;
For smiles as soft. as dimples chm
Each other on heigi‘leemng face.
The little prattling prayer she said
I doubt not draws about her bed
The listening angels from the air,
Who hear the lisp of every prayer
Such innocent, sweet tongues can pray,
And heed and answer them alway.
So lullaby—O lullabyl
The watching stars are in the sky; .
Though ’t-were the same if every spark.
Were quenched in clouds of utter dark,
Since nearer loving angels keep
Their cradleguard about your sleep.

Might I call her in some days my own?
I looked in the depth of her hazel eyes;
Close to our feet crept the restless sear.
In‘tender tones that fondhearts prize

I praised the grace of her queenly head,
The flashing waves sung low and sweet-'-
The bright eyes shone at the words I 'said,
While the light form nestled about hes-fest.
I praised the sheen of her chestnut hair,
Never a word she said to me;

A few days ago an article clipped from a
Washington paper appeared in the Register,
giving a description of Senator Den'nis' ter-
-rapin furm in Maryland. As we hav‘c‘lome-
thing of the sort to boast of' in the neighbor:-
hood of Mobile, it may not be mimic?” ,
our readers a description Of Mr. unborn 'r
Dorlon’s great tempin farm at Cecar'POint’.‘ '
This projection of land‘ is on the western
shore of Mobile Bay, about ”miles below
this city, and is inhabited principally? by .
oystermen who reap golden harvests“ from '
the many beds which furnish nearly-every _
oyster brought to the port-of Mobile. Mr.
Dorlon, who keeps a store at this point. hi! ‘
about three acres fenced in with'strong pilo- '
ings. .Leading to this inclosnre are m '
canals, one on the bay side and the other on
the gulf side, which supply with salt water ‘
a number of ditches 10 feet wide and looting.
leng. The sand accumulating from the‘ an!
availed of these ditchc is thrown en‘dch
side, and used by the terrapini to sun them- ~
selves and lay their eggs in, which, floodlit-
'ed, would go up in the millions, and can be '
raked up by the bushel. In the winter
season the terrapins remain imbedded in the
mud of the ditches where they stay until
spring time, never teachings morsel of feed.
Asystem of sluices enables Mr. Dorian-Io-
keep the ditches full of salt water, tit-dram
them at pleasure, and he is not at all-depend; ' '
cut on the tide for that purpose.
The number :of tempura oh the brill-II ,
far as can be ascertained and by the clones
calculation, is betwccn 20,000 and 25,000,
and in the course of the next three orfour
. years will be something hard to calculate.
About May 1, Mr. Derlon makes hispnro
chase of terrapins from the country peeplc- =
on the Mississippi Sound, and that generally ~
averages about 8,000 a you added *to hit
farm, outside of those bred therein. The in-
habitants of Mississippi and Alabamsdmnt
the .tcrrapins with .dogs trained for that
purpose. The dog‘barks when he finds one.
and tilt: hunter immediately secures it by
going to the spot where ths’dog points.
The cost of feeding the tempins,whiob,
as we have said, is only in the summer, is
aboutSl per dozen for the seasons and the
price per dozen in New York has varied .
from $18 to $8.. The food, which combat!
crabs and fish, is caught with a vse'lnq'ii'
front of the farm, and ‘very little expense is 3
attached to the raising of these-valuable land '
tortoises. Mr. Derleii begins .to ,ship abou’ s
October 1, and then on to_sboutMsy 10..
He generally sends his to Savannah by rail,
andthence to New. York by . filament”,- f .

been for a disastrous hurricane, whichs'emco
time ago washed out Mr.- Durlon's'fs'rm', it
would be today the greatest terrapin farm in
the world. He can always ship all he can
get,\ for there is a ready market for these
l delicacies.
