A Poem by Dean Stanley.
“Till Death us part.”
So speaks the heart,
When each to each repeats the words of
doom; ' ,
Thro' blessing and thro’ curse,
For better and for worse,-
We will be one, till that dread hour shall
come.
k
Life, with its myriad grasp,
Our yearning souls shall clasp
By ceaseless love, and still expectant won-
(161‘;
In'bonds thatshali endure,
Indissoluhly sure,
Till God in death shall part our paths asun-
der.
Till Death us join.
0 voice yet more divine!
That to the broken heart breathes hope sub-
lime ; .
Thro’ lonely hours
And shattered powers
We still are one, despite of change and time.
o
- Death, with his healing hand,
Shall once more knit the band
Which needs but that one link which none
may sever:
Till, thro’ the Only Good,
Heard, felt, and understood,
Our life in God shall make us one forever.

The County Fair.
The sun rose out of seas of gray and gar-
net and resolved all nature into a flood of
yellow sheen. And every One was glad.
Every one in our county, that is, for it was
fair-day, and men, women and children were
going, en masse. Ours is a very orthodox,
respectable,and well mannered county,so who
would think of staying home from the fair,
when the habit of generations has made it
fashionable to go ?
Such hurrying and scurrying about the
house to get breakfast out‘ of the way, and
the “fixing up" done! Such laying out of
best clothes, and such careful toilets. And
then the packing of the baskets !
Are the biscuits in, and the eggs, and the
dollies, and cakes, and bottles of ale ? Yes,
Well, how thoughtless! There is the ham,
and the silver cup; pray what were we to eat
with our bread, and what were we to drink
from? And the salt! I’ll wager you have
forgotten salt! '
But the baskets are already at length—at
least we feel comfortably sure they are, until
we go to dine and are minus knives and
cork-screw— the bay mare is snifling, and
throwing her braided and be-ribboned fore-
lock about, before the carriage, the key is
turned in the lock, and all the family are
stowed in their places with much ado about
rumpling of costumes. For we all wear our
best bib and tucker to the county fair. In-
deed, the gathering is very much of a display
of country suits; the highest premium,to the
costliest and most stylish attire, being unlim-
ited stares, and a great deal of unexpressed
envy, and some expressed, in such remarks
as:
“Do look at Miss Rapelycal Is not that
suit awfully unbecoming? Such fussincss!
such airs! Wonder if she thinks that hand-
some ! I'd be ashamed to dress so flashy and
have every one staring at me !"
There goes Neighbor Elbert and his mother
and Sary Ann, and all the children, behind
the old yellow horse; and there is Isaac and
his girl bowling by in his new gig; and all
the eight miles we drive along orchards, and
farms, and pUutla, and woodland, we page, ni-
arc passed, by friends, relatives, and neigh-
‘ bors, all bound to that great center of at-
traction, ‘the county fair. And there is
fluttering of ribbons and sunshades, and
laughing, and racing, afid dust, and heat,
until at last we are within the great circular
ground, and pacing slowly along the crowd-
ed drive among barouches, farm-wagons,
landaus, wagonettes, road-wagons,gigs,phae-
tons, sulkies, skeletons, and only a devout
student of some carriage manfactory’s cata-
logue could tell what; bowing to this ac-
quaintance, criticising that turnout,admiring
some costnme, getting in a tangle of wheels
and colors.
Down in that corner is a dog-show, as one
night suspect from the canine chorus of at
least a hundred performers; and along here
are poultry, making very grave and very pert
remarks to each other, quite loud enough for
we of a different language to hear; though we
do not understand. This is a patent humbug
for hatching eggs, and over there is every de-
vice for scientific, fashionable, and easy
farming, - '
Shall we go inside! Ab! how crowded
and close it is! What a thriving trade the
ice-cream merchants are doing! Flowers,
flowers,—-pyramids, towers, tables,»banks of
them! What grand yellow roses double as
clover-heads, large as cups. and richly fra-
grant! What jostling, and crowding, and
laughing, and chattering, and flirting and
staring! Suppose we seize upon those just-
vacated seats a few moments, and use eyes
and ears ?
That man is one of the richest in the county
and the greatest scallawagl We passed his
magnificent team outside. See how pompous
he is, and how obsequiously he is greeted on
every side by cringing followers after wealth
and how his elegantly attired wife is scanned
by country belles, who turn up their mobile
little noses at her Parisian toilets, but will go
home and spend days in trying to imitate it.
Ahi they are gushingly greeted by those two
girls—cousins who adore and copy {and quote
on all occasions, “dear cousin Ishmael,‘ and
“my stylish cousin, Mrs, Ishmael De Gray.’ ’
They, the girls, are well known as county
belles, and have been in society for years
without any more chance of making the
“rich match" they are looking for than a
decade ago. They have a comfortable home
are pleasant entertainers,are nice housewives,
chatty, gossipy, lively, and good-natured and
have but two pursuits and ambitions in life
—to dress well and to marry rich. That
girl, homely, yet handsome in her becom-
ingness and perfect details of her toilet, is
an editor’s daughter; those three dowdy-
dressed, haughty-aired misses are the child-
ren of one of our couty lawyers; that gentle-
man, with the high white brow and long hair
combed smoothly back, is a clergyman who
frowns upon croquet as sinful, but an hour
from now. will be intensely excited and de-
lighted with the horse-racing; ah ! consisten-
cy is a‘jewel that even all the teachers of “us
miserable sinners" do not possess! Some
one is saying: .
“Do look at Jennie Hildreth. She was
such a lovely blonde three years ago, and
now she is married and everlastingly homely.
Married Tom Hildreth because he was rich
and danced round dances'so nicely! Well,
she does not dance much now. I’ll wager,
and he isdreadfnlly ugly and— Oh! you
dear Lillian, I’m so charmed to see you, and
delighted to make Mr. Hawley’s acquaint.
ance —I'm so glad they are gone! Did you
oversee such a. setting waist? She always
makes her own clothes, and all for the fam.
ily. besides teaching school? Well, that is
not much, she is such a botch! I wonder
why such J ewy-looking girls do not dress in
better taste ? Oh! Miss Seymour, I have
heard of you so often, you scarcely seem a
stranger l I hope you are enjoying yourself.
~ Well! well! I cannot see what" people ad-
mire thut brazen thing for! Such horrid
eyes, and no style, and such ‘loud’ airs!
So that was the distinguished Hon.
with her. How disgustingly she acts about
him; quite makes herself conspicuous. I am
of the opinion that she ,is not a very proper
person to know? Shall we more on? I
want to look at people’s dresses and see if I
can get some new ideas for making over my
striped silk."
So they move on, and as We do the same—
among mincing misses and buxom lasses,
stylish exquisites and bashful farmer lads,
bedizened old ladies and dear old Quakeres-
scs, gossipping women, and jolly' men,
toward the grand stand, to view the races——
last attraction of the day—we feel that for
getting people’s opinion of us, and yet being
no wiser concerning them, commend us to a
county fair.
A Pansou‘s DAUGHTER.
Shooting Porpoises.
A YANKEE WHO COULD GUESS AND SHOOT.
New York Sun.
“Thet cost me jest two dollars,” said a
tall, gaunt fisherman hailing from Newbury-
port, as he held 'out a long-barrelled nondes-
cript of a gun. “I bought her,” he continued,
going one eye affectionately on the ancient
relic, “at a government sale of revolutionary
fixins in ’42 ; she wore a flint lock then, and
her sight was a chunk of rust; but I biled
her in ile, cut her down into a fore-and-after
and bed a lock put on to her, and there she
is as putt-y as a picture, and ’11 out-shoot and
out-kick any cannon in the country. I’m no
great talker myself rand don’t like to see a
man overtalk himself, but my father’s got a
son that’ll shoot the conceit out or anybody
that wants to shoot. If there ain’t any one
here what kin shoet," he continued, looking
over the heads of the assembled crowd of
loungers, “I’ll guess against any man, wo-V
man or child in the place. Naow, then,
how many herrin’s in this heap for the Med-
ford ?”
It chanced that the reporter had watched
the unloading of the net, and to pass away
time had counted the fish as they were taken
from the meshes, so, holding a winning hand
he responded to the challenge by answering
three hundred and five, the real number
being three hundred, the five being added
to allay suspicion. Other guesses were
made, uniil the tall man came. He walked
around the glistening pile once, drew off, and
shaded his eyes, and guessed three hundred
in cold blood, which in cents just footed the .
Medford bill paid after the counting by the
reporter. ,
“If you’ll accept my company,” said the
guesscr, after the ceremonies had satisfac-
torily terminated. “I’ll show you how the
gun works shootin yuflln’ pigs. Well, thet’s
what we call ’em; .some folks calls ’em por-
poises." '
Willing to seea porpoise shot, the reporter
jumped into the dory, and was soon headed
out through the swell.
“I’m counted a master hand at guessin’,?’
said the rower, “but I ain’t nothin' to my
father, Stephen Moses; he’d been counted a
prophet '- old times, sartin. I never knew
him to be out-guessed or worked ahead on
but once," and the relator of his parent’s
peculiarities stopped rowing to laugh heart-
ily at the recollection. “But be was always
wantin’ to guess. One day a kind of a
tinker came araound and walked into the
kitchen where father, Stephen Moses Brag-
berrysot a-gaagin’ trawl hooks. and let aout
how he’d like to mend up any tin pans thet
wanted fixin’. ‘Wall,’ sez father, ‘bcre’s a
coffee pot that wants a nose, and I’ll tell ye,
if yc'll guess nearer to the number of nails
in your own shoe then I kin, I’ll give ye the
job, but if I beat you, you’re to do the job
for nothin’. ‘Done,’ sea the tinker, and the
long and Shot‘ n5, {burns ,tlugnld man beat}
him by two nails, and he commence
mendin’ the coffee pot. Noaw, the old feller
didn’t hev any nose to put on the pot, so
turnin’ to father, Stephen Moses, he sez, sez
he. Mr. Bragberrry,’ he sez, 'I’d thank ye
for a dish of water: I’m monstrous parched.’
‘Sartin',’ sez father and coat he goes to the
well. The minute he stepped aout, the
tinker made a jump for the dresser and
pulled the nose off a new coffee pot that was
a standin’ there and when father came bgck
with the water, he was a-sodderin’ of it on,
and in a few minutes he was off, leavin' the
old man laughin’ at the game he’d playd
him. But, Lord bless ye! when that other
pot was took aout the next mornin" it
seemed like a bush sot daown on the hull
house. The old man kind 0' took a setback
from thet time, and I never heard of his a-
guessin’ after. Thet same tinker," continued
the boatman, warming up with recollections
‘was one of the cutest chaps that ever slid
through the a township. .. Hed’a curious
faculty of gettin‘ along withaout money;
never seemed to need, it. One evenin’ he
drapped into Uncle Peltiab’s, up on the Port-
land road, jest about supper time, and when
the folks drew araound he was’nt invited, so
he sez: ‘Curious case that of Moses Stephens
caow, Peltiah.’ ‘How’s that i" said Peltiab.
‘Why, she’s gone and bed five calves, said
the tinker. ‘Wall, wall,’ said Peltiab, but
what does the fifth one do i” (there bein’ only
four tits,ye'r know.) ‘Wall,’ sez the tinker, I
reckon it waits araound like a durned fool,
same’s I do ; and,” continued the rower, “it
rfiasn’t many minutes afore he was sot at the
table. The very next day he was a-doin’ some
tinkerin’ for an old aunt of mine. She was
a-peelin’ squashes, and be up and sez,
‘Amelia, Wish you’d gimme some of them
seeds; the squash crop up our way was a
complete failure.‘ ‘Takc all you want,'-sez
Amelia, and he did; took about a quart, and
reachin’ the next house about supper time
he sez, ‘Mrs. Muggeridge, do you want
some pumpkin seeds imported from Asia—
some thet our elder brought back when he
came? They ogrow pumpkins as big as a
barrel.’ Mrs. Muggeridgc was glad to get
’em, and .in course invited him to supper
to pay for it. not findin’ aout where the
seeds come from until after she'd planted
em. ‘
“Hold on a minute," suddenly‘ whisper-
ed the story teller, dropping the cars and
seizing the old firelock. "J est keep as steady
as you kin," and standing upright in the
pitching boat he raised the piece carefully,
aimed at nothing, waited a moment, when
right in range a black form arose and glist-
ened a few seconds. , A low puff came to us
followed by a tremendous discharge, and as
the smoke cleared away the gunner appeared
rapidly rowing toward the spot where a
pufllng pig was lashing the water into foam.
"Jest get to the wind’ard a minute” shouted
the son of Stephen Moses, and as the boat
shot alongside the black form he reached
down and grasped the dying porpoise. The
reporter balanced himself on the windward
rail, the sea threatening to sink the dory, and
the animal thrashing and plunging,but watch-
ing his chance the man jerked the game into
the boat, and seizing the cars we were soon
headed out again.
“Took me kind 0’ unawares.” said the
sportsman, stopping to reload, using a piece
of codfish skin as wadding. "We don't gen-
erally get ’em so close in. Aout araound the
Ipint’s the best place, and in old times they
used to be so thick that you could float about
and shoot Fem as fast as you could load.
See that teller," be continued,” a big por-
poise rose high out of water breathing half a
mile away, “Naow you wouldn’t believe
how them pigs ’ll jump. You perhaps
noticed how the creek sets in there as we
Pulled aout. Well, some two years ago the
tide sot in dretful heavy one afternoon, and
the first millilwe knowed the creek was full
of porpoise. Wall, I’m v a-tellin’ of it; it
warn’t ten minutes afore every man, woman,
child, and dog in this ere taown was on the
31305 3 thought they bed a regular bonanzy,
for, ye see, the mouth of the creek wasn’t
ov er fifty feet wide. Wall, they 80!: out the
boats and ran a seine across first, and back-0’
that we stretched a line of dorlos across the
mouth complete, and, with harpoons and
clubs, kind 0' advanced on ’em gradual.
When they first heard us they made a rush
up the creek for a quarter of a mile, and then
shallcrin’ the water, turned and came back
in a body. ‘Herc they come,’ yelled the
boys and women, the dogs a-barkin’ and
folks a-screamin’ and peltin’ ’em, and they
a-comin’ daown lookin' like one 0’, these ere
tidal waves ye've heard tell on. Well, the
first ones struck the seinc' and went right
through, and when they reached the line 0’
boats up they went in the air, dozens 0’ ’em
-yes right overhead; some of ’em cleared
twenty feet, and we a-settin’ there paralyzed
like. I never expected to see it rain porpoises
but I did that day sartin’. There warn’t a
man dared to raise a hand, so afraid of get-
tin’ hit. They all dropped and let the hull
school jump over 'em-. I never see the like
afore.” ’
“Hear that ?" asked the speaker, suddenly
changing his attitude to one of attention. A
faint puff, faintly repeated, came over the
seas from the windward. “Naow you
mightn’t think it, but experience tells us by
the hearin’ of it just where they‘re a goin’ to-
come up; for instance—" The tall sports
man rose up and steadied himself in a mirac-
ulous manner. "Naow I‘ll plot the weapon
nd you watch forthe pig.” .
He was a chip of the old Stephen Moses
stock, and guessed it to a frac'tion‘as simul-
taneously came the strong puff and the black
shining body right in range; a deafening re-
port, and earthquake shock and the guesser
looked up from the bailers and bilge and
soliloquized, I do believe she’s bust." But
she hadn't “bust ;" he had only put in two
charges of powder, and had been fairly kick-
ed over. ,
“The first pig I’ve missed for goin’ on a
spell," he continued, rubbing his shoulder
and looking at the old gun asksnce.
“What do you do with porpoises ?" asked
the reporter, as the owner of the gun, after
carefully loading it, took up the oars.
“Oil,” was the reply. "There’s a big de-
mand for it in the manufacturing taowns, and
a besp’s used in the tannin’ business. When
I was a boy they used to eat ’em araound
here’; the meat’s firm and solid. They ain't
a fish, you know; jest the some ass whale
or a cow ; nuss their calves in the same way,
and when they’ve got ’em~ you want to look
aout. I shot a calf about here last spring,
and when I grabbed it by the blow bofe to
haul it aboard, the dam rushed at me so she
about came aboard. The water was black
with ’em all a-nosin’ araound the boat, and I
couldn't drive ’m off. ‘Cute critters! They
must a knowed I was cont 0' shot. It takes
a tolerable experience to shoot porpoise, on
account of their being seen oftener in. rough
weather, and so makes the boat unsteady;
but they generally move against the wind,
and when you see ’em in a dead calm you
kin look for a breeze from the pint they’re
bearin' on. We call ’em putters, cause they
pufi like a pig, and in shaller water you kin
see ’em nosin’ araound jest like an old hog.
How long do they live ? Wall, I can’t say.
You never see the man that found a dead
puffer. There’s one old puffer seen about '
here for years, and known by a cut on his
top fin. He’s been seen all up and daown
the coast, from Cape Porpoise to Gloucester,
so they seem to hev a tolerable range.

take ’em as they come; but they’re rare at
their pranks. '
Another but! came over the water. More
smoke, struggles, getting to windward, and
the dory had all the pigs she could carry.
The diminutive sprit sail was raised, and
on the long swell we rushed in toward the
land. '
‘ ARABI SURPRISED.
Tel-el-Kebir and Zigazig Taken
by the English.
KASSASSIN, September 13.-At an early
hour this morning the entire Britishforces,
under command of General Wolseley, began
the long deferred attack on Tcl-el-Kebir, and
before daybreak the greatest battle since the.
Egyptian campaign opened was raging to and
over at noon when the Indian troops and the
Highlanders who followed up the Egytian
retreat from Telel-Kebir bad-succeeded in
perfectly cutting off their retreat on the
north bank of the canal. The Egyptians had
evidently been apprised of the forward
movement of the British, though not in time
to form in body to meet the attack. Several
Egyptian regiments were hurriedly ordered
out to meet the British, but before they had
fairly formed to receive the attack the Eu-
glish were upon them, and, under a deadly
fire from the infantry and artillery, which
was opened upon them from all quarters,
they were cut up and disorganized to such
an extent that a regular stampede followed,
and it appeared to be every man for himself
in the retreat toward the main body. While
in this plight the British cavalry were order-
cdto charge, and they rode among the flee-
ing Egyptians, saberlng them down in all di-
rections, making a terrible havoc among
them. The retreat of the advanced Egyptian
regiments was so precipitate and so closely
followed by the British cavalry that they
both got to the entrenchments in a moving
fight, and the forces behind the works were
powerless to resist the British without shoot_
ing down their :own fellows, fighting back-
wards over the works almost hand'to hand.
This placed the defenders of the works at
such a disadvantage that they were practi-
cally useless. As they were at the most
points overwhelmed by their own country-
men and driven back by the British cavalry,
the retreating Egyptians were in such great
numbers and spread out to such an extent
as to practically prove a cover for the British
advance nearly all around Tel-el-Kebir. The
British infantry followed ,the cavalry well.
and were soon behind them over the works.
The effect of the retreat of Arabi‘s advanced
regiments and of their close pursuit by the
British cavalry and infantry was a'perfect
panic and stampede among the garrison, who
deserted their posts and fled. So complete
had been General Wolseley’s preparations
that the English cavalry, which had been
ordered to follow .up such a retreat if it
came, were not taken by surprise or tired
out, and started in good pursuit. keeping
.close to the Egyptians and fairly decimating
them as they fled. Forty guns, of what cal-
ibre is not yet reported, were captured by
General Wolseley. Upwards of 3,000 Egyp-
tians were surrounded before they could as
cape and made prisoners of war.’ General
Wolselcy reports the British loss during the
storming of tTel—cl-Kebir to. have been 200
killed. He estimated the Egyptian loss at
2,000. The Highland brigade bore the burnt
of the assault, Arabi’s sharpshooters, before
the flight of the garrison of Tcl-el-Kebir,
stood well out from the works of defense and
directed the firing at the leaders of the Brit-
ish advance, and shot down many of the'
English officers, and in the loss of ofiicers the,
British suffered much. '

IBMAILIA, September 18.5—General Mc-
Phersoui' telegraphs from ngazig that he

many ofilcers, are surrendering.
An official dispatch from Kassassin says:
There are fifteen wounded officers and 245
wounded privates .bero from Tel-el-Kebir.
Ice is plentiful. The patients are all treated
antiseptically, and are doing as well as could
be expected. About sixty guns were cap-
tured at Tel-el-Kebir. General Wolseley has
gone to Zagazig. The grenadiers will remain
to garrison Tel-el-Kebir.
A Renter dispatch from Tel-el-Kebir says :
“The British casualties in Wednesday's
battle ware: Killed—nine officers and 45
men; wounded—twenty-two officers and 330
men. The enemy’s loss is estimated at 1,500
killed and wounded. General Wolseley has

How Mrs. Lnngtry Was Discov-
cred.
‘ “There are but two purely Greek things
now in Europe," says Oscar Wilde; “one is
the Venus of Milo, the other Mrs. 'Langtry l"
The effect of Mrs. Langtry’s beauty is, he es-
timates, that of extreme delicacy produced
by really strong lines. The mouth is large;
the jaw is heavily outlined; and yet, as the

gives the impression of being a more delicate
structure than it really is, so the "Jersey
Lily’s” face conveys an idea of softness and
grace infinitely charming. No photograph
can do her justice, he holds. “for her com
plexion is like ivory stained with rose!”
Even Mlllaishas been comparatively unsuc-
cessfulI with her portrait. He can paint
children and men, but not a beautiful wo-
man. Mr. Wilde considers Mrs. Lsngtry
“the most charming of companions.” There
isno woman in the world with whom he
would rather go to look at a picture, or see a
play or give a new book to. It is remarka-
ble, however, that she herself is entirely un-
touched by the feeling she inspires.- “She
is beautiful and virgin as a fountain, and as
celd !" It is a great treat to hear Mr. Wilde
describe how he and a friend, an artist, pre-
sumably Mr. Frank Miles, “discovered” Mrs.
Langtry several years ago, when he was still
at Oxford. One night at the- Lyceum Thea-
tre Oscar and his friend saw a beautiful un-
known seated with a gentleman in a box.
They asked every one in the house whom
they knew and all the ofiicials the name of
this divinity, but no one could tell them.
When the play was over they waited to see
her get into the carriage. and then rushed
along the Strand in a state of enthusiasm
only possible gin young men and artists.
They told everybody that they had discover-
ed the Venus of Miles there inLondon, i' the
flesh, but no one could enlighten them con-
cerning the incognita, and Mr. Wilde return-
ed to Oxford, leaving his friend in town to
prosecute the search. One day be received
a telegram: “Come at once. I have found

“Jersey Lily,” made what was virtually her
social debut.

HOW BANK DIRECTORS DISCUSS THE AFFAIRS
OF MEN WHO WANT ACCOMMODATIONS.
Little is known of the bank directors.
When a person goes to one of those institu-
tions, where money is as plenty as sugar is
at a confectioner’s or meat at a butcher’s the
tellers, the cashier and the book keepers are
seen, and perhaps the president may be
found examining the contents of the vault,
scrutinizinga pile of drafts. verifying the
footings of the book keeper or in other ways
exercising his general supervision cf the af-
fairs of the institution, but of the directors,
only the president is seen. The directors
constitute the unseen 'but constantly felt
power which is exercised on those doing
business at the bank. Their place, when
they meet, is in a back room, around which
there hangs an air of privacy, and secrecy,
and into which few who are not of their
number ever have the assurance to intrude
except by special invitation. These men,
who daily decide on action to be taken .by the
bank, are almost invariably successful busi-
ness men» whose capacity, shown in a wise
administration of their private affairs has
caused them to be selected to administer for
others. These directors are perhaps asgreat
gossips as there are in the city. However,
to call their comparisons of observations gos.
sip is hardly fair, for their business is in a
great degree to ascertain'tbe private affairs
of men who are doing or may have business
with the bank. Day after day paper is
brought for discount and it is necessary that
the bank should know the character of the
maker of the note and that of tho endorser
as well as the apparent responsibility of each.
Extravagance in any direction alway attracts
their attention when‘thc person ’giiilt'y of it
comes to exchange alnote for money. The
private affairs of many men are thoroughly
talked over in these directors' meetings. Of
one man it was recently said that while he
was obliged to ask the banks for so much

An Adirondack Resort.
The Adirondack wilderness is divided in-
to three general divisions or systems, which
collectively occupy the attention of the great
bulk of. visitors, namely, the widely celebrat-
ed Saranac and St. Regis waters in the north,
where fashion and fishing are admirably
blended, whose gateway is Plattsburg and
Port Kent; the mountainous region of
Keene, North Elba and Lake Placid in the
east, with an entrance at Westport, withifs
green mountains and lovely valleys, and the
rare combination of mountains and lakes
known as the Blue mountains and Racquette
lake waters in the south, reached by way of
Adirondack railroad ‘from Saratoga. This
Racquette region has an air of newness and
morning freshness, according to Stoddard,
"as if just awakened from along and re-
freshing sleep,” and in the last» few years has
made rapid strides in the popular favor.
About two thousand feet above the level of
the sea, it contains place of entertainment
ranging from the well appointed hotel to the
rude log house and open _ camp, and is pecu-
liarly free from rough and vicious characters.
The gloriously healthful air 0' the wilderness
unquestionably gives new life and vigor, and
with a corresponding amount of exercise
comes a good healthful tire, which requires
something better than the hard beds of
boughs peculiar to pure camp life. Rough-
ing it is grand in theory, [but it is bad in
practice. and often partially,“ not wholly,
defeats the objects for which itisadopted.
If people go for pleasure. they should not
make, severe work of it. The Racquette
lake itself has been appropriately named the
“Queen of Adirondack .‘ es," It is a great
mass of boys, and a! ough its greatest
length is only five miles, itis so very irregu-
lar in shape that the shore line measures al-
most forty-miles. It contains eighteen is-’
lands, one of which is nearly three-quarters
of a mile in length. As a central starting
point there is no better place in the woods,
while all of the comforts and conveniences
are easily. obtained. Daily malls are carried
over its waters by boats, miniature steamers
plow it, and telegraph ofilces are near. It ecu-
tains some of the finest trout, black bass and
other fish in the woods. No pickerel are to
be found here, as in many of the other lakes
of the north. One of the pleasantest places
on its shores is Green Point, located on the
West shore, jutting out with boldness into the
deepest part of the lake. On this lovely
point of land Charley Blanchard, an old Ad-
irondack guide of many years’ experience,
has built aplace of entertainment, which,
for originnlity and comfort, is not surpassed
in the whole wildness region. It is known
as “Blanchard’s Wigwams." Instead of a
hot rooms, he has prepared cottages built
matched boards and covered with bark to
make them look rustic and cosy.
dining room and kitchen of this out door he-
tel are located not far away. There are with-
i
ponds back among the mountains, hardly any
of which are visited except by the occasional
country is by the Adirondack railroad from
Saratoga to North Creek, whence stages are
taken thirty miles to Blue Mountain lake,
which empties into the Racquette lake.
From there a line of steamers make daily
trips through Blue Mountain, Eagle,.Utowa-
no lakes and Marion river to the “Queenly
Racquette,” or guides can be obtained there
in small boats—Boston Globe.

The same is equally true of the natives of-
India. What baldness there is in those
countriestcomes from closely shaving the
head, a practice which is quite common,
and rarely if ever from the hair falling out.
It is easy to theorize upon the subject, but
really it is very difficult to throw any actual
clear that Dr. Lewis is not equal to the task.

A Candidate’s Story.
General H. W. Early, democratic candi-
related his experience as follows :' “When I
was up the Sinnemaponing creek last winter,
lookin’- for timber, I discovered a black bear
coming down the mountain pretty fast not
far from where I was standing, and suppos-
ing that something had frightened him I did.
not attempt to hide or climb a. tree, as I
thought he would kbep on. ' But I soon dis-
covered that he was mad, and that I had
made a mistake, for the moment that he dis-
covered me he gave a growl, and, opening
his mouth very wide, rushed at me. I had
no weapon with me but a stout pockebknife
with along blade, and I hurriedly opened it,
determined to sell my life dearly if the fero-
cious beast attacked. me. I didn'thaygtp
wait long before Bruin came up in front of
me,,and, rearing on his”hind legs, prepared
to embrace me. As he reached out his paws
and undertook to hug me, I jumped around
to his back, and, shoving the ‘knifoblade into
his neck, drew it clear down to his tail, cut-
ting him so completely in two that he fell
apart at‘ my feet. There was a powerful .
pressure on that knife-blade boys, but it sav-
ed me t"—Ecohange.

The Most Extensive Farm Owner
tn the W orld.
Mr. Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, who was
introduced to the tariff commission by ex-
President Hayes as the largest farmer in the
world, gave so facts as to his farming and
other business rests. He is the owner of
.148 farms which he rents to tenants, and of
a still larger number which he cultivates.
He is the ownerof the celebrated ~40,000-acre
Sullivan farm, in Ford county, Ill., and of
the Rowland Island farm, in Cayuga county,
the largest farm in the . state of New York.
He cultivates more acres for the raising of
. Seed than any man in this or any other coun-
try, and is also engaged in the lime, salt and
banking business. ‘
m
. Drlnk and Tunnel Work.
The officials at the office of the Hudson
River tunnel say that a rigid examination of
the men is made as new gangs go to work to
prevent drinking men from being admitted to
the tunnel, the effect ‘of the compressed air
being dangerous to such; nevertheless re-
ports of accidents from this cause are fre-
quent. Recently one man died in the tun-
nel and another was taken dangerously'ill the
same day. In both cases drink was alleged
as the cause. Today the police report’that

Calling the Angels In. '
__ .
We meant to do it. Some day,'some day,
We meant to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing our souls away.
And grant to our goaded hearts a bush
That is holy enough to let them hear
That footsteps of angels drawing near.
We meant to do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime foil is o'er,
We sit and muse, while the stars jcome out,
As the Patriarch'set at the open door
Of his tent, with a heavenward-gazing eyr,
To watch for e angels passing by.
We see them afar at high noontide,
When fiercely the world's hot flashings
.. bent; , .
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry awhile in converse sweet ; '
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we
spread, ‘ '
To drink our wine and break our bread.
We promised our hearts; and wheh the stress
or the life work reaches the longed-for
close, '
When Ithe weight that we groan with hinder-
ess, ' .
Well loosen our thoughts to such repose '-
As banish Care’s disturbing din,
And then—we’ll call the angris in.
The day we dreamed of comes at length,
When tired of every mocking quest,
And broken in spirit and shorn of strength,
We drop, indeed. at the door of rest, ‘
And wait and watch as the day Canes on ;—
But the angels We mean to call are gone ? -

J. Travis King, of Port Richmond, S. 1.,
claims to have seen the great sea serpent in
the Kill von Kull, ofi .that place. He says
that a few days ago, while sitting on the
shore with a companion near Johnson's
dock, they saw something moving swiftly
down the river towards Newark Bay. which
they at first supposed was a school of sharks
in single file, but as it came nearer they saw
t was a serpent. When it was opposite
them, in the middle of the river, it drew its
whole body, which seemed to be about forty
feet in length, to the surface and remained -
almost motionless for a short period. ,Be-
fore it sank from view it raisedits head three
or four feet out of the water and made a
loud hissing noise. It was of the color of an
eel, had greenish-colored eyes, which were
very large, and had spots of red in tho'cen-
ter which glistened like balls of fire. The
shape of the tail was like that of a' shark.
Mr. King says that the water was unusually
calm and slack, and that he and his compan-
ion bad a good view of the monster forbear-
ly a minute. '. ‘ -'

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has what is
commonly callcda level head on a great many
questions, and among others on the subject
of rational enjoyments. Being asked recent
ly-whcther it is wicked to dance.hc answered
“it is wicked when it is wicked. - and not
wicked when it is not wicked. In itself it
has no more moral character than walking,
wrestling or rowing. Bad company, untime-
ly hours, evil dances, may make the exercise
evil; good company, wholesome hours and
hgme influences may make it a very great ben-
e t.
Mr Hubbell’s Committee is not entirely
destitute of the milk of human kindness. To
be sure it assesses the short-term clerks in
the Pension Bureau,who were only appointed
for six months upon the basis of a years sala-
ry, but it allows them to divide the assess.
ment into two payments, one from the August
salary and the other from the September; and
in cases where clerks are able to clearly prove
themselves unable to pay, it allows them to
work out the assessment by night work at
headquarters in mailing campaign documents.
These indications of compassionate the more
pleasing because totally unexpected.
“I often cross the street‘to avoid meeting
a man” says Mr Beecher, “not because I have
anything against him,but simply because I
do not feel like speaking to him. I suppose
all men arethis way.” Yes, nearly all men
are that way, Mr Beecher,and we are glad
that you have mentioned the subject,for it
gins us a bhancc to agree with a great man.
We sometimes crossthe street or climb stance
to avoid meeting a man not because we have
anything against him,but because he has some
thing against us; a bill Mr Beecher. —Ar-
