If I ccruM thint our bonehoVl pet
That left the fold one* a'ltiuuu morn,
Wwi ftlooplng in tJi© valley yet,
Aero*# the veM t-tinttxl lawn—
If ale were alec ping there to-day,
My lieai t would weep iU life away.
Ho cold and Mack the winter air,
80 desolate the drifting snow;
Like demons from their midnight lair,
The windu of winterenmo and go,
And like a aad and doleful sprite,
Heetn tinging to my heart to-night.
We laid her 'neath the lllly bloom, *
When autumn Umohwl the tender hours,
And scattered o’er the new-made tomb
Her offering of leaves and flowers;
And then, it seemed th© earth and sky
Wero whispering, “ Ti# tho time to die.’
Now, gathered at the festal board,
Whore nightly all the dear ones meet.
My tearful eyes, I know not why,
Are resting on a vacant seat,
And where tho winds of winter blow,
My Invart is underneath the snow.
A breath of fragrance comes to mo;
Again I feel a loving hand
Jli mine, ium3 like sweet minstrelsy
A voioo comes from the summorhtnd -
**Nor storm, nor winter sweeps the shore
Where I shall dwell forever more.”

Tlie Southern Paciflo Railroad is (lie
marvel of modern railway construction.
The country which it traverses has pe
culiarly unfavorable physical aspects.
Tho engineers have overcome every ob
starle. -They have threaded sandy
deserts, tunneled lofty mountains, lev
eled rocky ridges, bridged great rivers
and spanned deep canyons. Against
them nothing lias prevailed. Nature set
up her strongest citadels to bar their
progress. They melted before their
skill like dew before thmjmmmer sun.
They brought ties and midge timber
three thousand miles raid transported
tho connecting rails across a great con
tinent. Bavnge tribes of Indians harassed
and annoyed them. They raised an
army and subdued the barbarians. They
passed through a country on which the
white man's foot had never boon set.
Civilization followed in their wake avid
towns and cities sprang up like magic.
Tho country was non-productive and
forage for their stock and .subsistence
for the army of workmen had to ho
brought from a distance.
In sfimo places water for all purposes
had to bo carried a hundred mile; .
White men could not bo worked to ad
vantage in this desert country, mul six
thousand Cliiucse coolies were imported
ns navvies. Armed with pick and shovel,
tamping bar and sledge hammer, they
worked’through (lie country a mighty
host of progress, and track-laying ad
vanced at the rate of three miles a day.
Even along tho ltio Grande, where can
yons wero crossed a thousand feet deep,
mountains tunneled a niilo through and
rocky ridges miles iu extent leveled and
graded, these Mongolians moved forward
a mile every twenty-four houro. I passed
along tho lino for the first time last sum
mer, and it was o source of never-failing
wonder to nototlio rapidity and precis
ion with Which the work was accom
plished. A hill of solid rock one hun
dred yards long had to bo cut down to
tho average depth of thirty feet. A
thousand. Chinamen would swoop down
upon it with drills and sledges. In nix
hours a blast-would be ready. Tons of
powder would be poured into the innu
merable little holes, made in tho rock
by Ali Bin. Fuses would be prepared,
an electric battery attached, tho engi
neer would press tho little button, and
by the time the smoke from the explo
sion clenred away the track-laying out
lit would bo hard at. work placing I ies in
position and spiking down rails, ft wan
necessary to lay tho track' pfore auy
permanent bridge or trestle work could
bo done.
In crossing n canyon false bridges
were made of cross-ties, aud it was
astonishing how quick those pig tailed
heathen ran up the temporary piers.
Tho construction company contracted
for these laborers in California at a fixed
price per head, and was under bond to
return them to the agent of the Six
Companies when the road was completed.
Ah Sin kept his ears open and was ob
servant. It was not long before he
learned thitt one hundred cents for
twelve hours of hard work was not Hie
usual price paid railroad laborers. A
rumor reached him that another great
road was coining on to meet the otfe he
was building, and that navvies received ;
three dollars a day thereon.
He was justly indignant at the advan
tage which the enterprising but soulless
corporation hud taken of his ignorance
of prices. He did not openly protest,
nor did ho hold a monster indignation
meeting, with brass band accompani
ment, and strike for higher wages.
These are a part of our peculiar
civilization, mid Ah Bin had come straight
from the rice fields mid tea groves id' the
Celestial Kingdom, where such assertions
of independence and liberty usually cost
the unfortunate promoters, aiders, and
abetters their lives. He revolted, how
ever, in secret and determined to bettor
his condition.
He began to desert, and the country j
between Id Paso and Pesos river was
soon full of eastward moving pig-taiis.
The company sent after the recreants
and recaptured most of them. This did
not deter others from venturing, and tho
company saw plainly that something
must lie done, but exactly what, their
wisest heads could not decide.
In this emergency a man arose—they
always do under such circumstances—
who boldly proclaimed liis ability to nip
this Chinese rebellion in the bud. Tho
company granted him extraordinary
powers, and he entered upon liis labors
In three mouths after his peculiar
methods of subjection were inaugurated
nothing couiil tempt one of liis Cel, stia!
navvies to desert his post.
I met this railroad Napoleon one day
and our acquaintance had ripened into a
comparative intimacy before I learned
that in his presence tho bravest rice
eater among those almond-eyed navvies
quailed and trembled. He is one of the
typo of border semi-civilization, six feet
four inches in height, with a frame like
a Hercnles and a face on which the lines
of firmness, decision and command are.

even teeth and shows them often, for lie

marked to mo: “When Murtin’s nose
comes down to meet his lip, and his lip
goes up to meet liis nose, and those teeth
of his glisten and shine, why look out.
He means business." I was waiting f< r
the accommodation train to leave the
“end hi the track" when I formed his nc

Whilo we were talking, the foreman of
the track-laying gang enme into tic oar.
“Ah, Martin," lie said, “I liavo been
looking for you. One of those fellows
why de ii t (1 l;it month Ims returned,
an film intciprefer says that he has in
deiced half the men to quit and go aorosi
tWe country to the Sunset Extension. Ho

“lie *<•?” quoth Martin, and tho
peculiar falling down of none and flying
up 6f lifvdisclosed his white teeth. “I’ll
fix him.”
He picked up a heavy billet of wood
ns lie finished speaking, and invited mo
to go along and “see the fun,” I went.
Tlu> obnoxious Chinaman was in tho
(•'■ntro of all excited group of his compa
triot.';, volubly discoursing on tho supe
rior inducements held out to the laborers
on thu other road. We wero close upon
him when one of the group caught sight
of Martin’s whito teeth and uttered a
warning cry. Tho crowd scattered, and
tho chief conspirator turned to flee. Too
late. Tim ftVilet of wood flow through
the air, struck tho deserter between the
shoulders, anil ho fell flat in tho dust.
Martin bent over him, still smiting, and
by way of resuscitation, kicked the pros-
I rub: Celestial several times. Tho Con
fuoiftli groaned and raised himself to it
sitting posture. 110 wan ordered to
stand up and did so with some difficulty.
The foreman produced a stout rope, and
the smiling Martin requested two of the
track-layer* to hind his prisoner’s foot,
TI-- assisted them by administering in
each sundry kicks and cuffs, which
tended to quicken their movements con
siderably. When tho conspirator was
securely fastened, ho wos ordered to
march forward to the car. We followed.
“I don’t redtoq, I here’ll l>e any desert
orw from tins gau®’observed Martin,
tmd lm administer; l a Josiy kick to n
water carrier who hud stopped to do rit
• after thu prisoner.
“Them Chinamen are terrible cow
ards.’ Tw vou know that everyone of
tho.'e fellows Carries a pistol concealed
under his blouse? It is a fact. That
cuss abend has one. I saw it when lie
was lying on the ground. There are up
ward of six thousand of ’em here, and
yet I manage them without difficulty.
If it was among any other race of people
my lila wouldn’t he worth two bits.”
Tho prisoner had reached the car aud
stood beside the step crying and sob
bing. Ilia captor lucked Him several
tinns, and lie managed to scramble to
th'e platform, although ho had no use of
Ids hands or arms.
Wo followed him into tho car, and
Martin reached his hand under the pris
oner’s blouse and drew therefrom a large
Cult revolver.
“Now if ho had boon n white man ho
would have shot me on sight.”
Ho cocked tho pistol, and, as though
by accident, pointed the muzzle at tho
Chinaman’s head. The wreleh fell on
ms knees and began to beg piteously.
Martin seemed to enjoy the poor fellow’s
mi , ry, and smiled upon him benign
antljv
“It is hop die with you, anyway,
John,” wi:^* Martin's consoling observa
tion,. “Ifif shoot you here, it is all
over.' If I carry ypu back up Uio track,
you’ll be hung.”
The Chinaman continued to pray for
mercy, and after drawing bead on liis
head several times Marlin put the pistol
iu bis pocket, and we walked out on the
platform.
“That seems like cruel treatment,” he
said, “but it is the only way to manage
'em. Make 'em fear you. Why, w hen
l first began on 'em they were deserting
at the rate of fifty a day. if i.ho com
pany bad not backed me up there would
not ltilve been a, Chinaman left on the
tine.' You see,--sir, out lier-e there is

-a -'ll as the riled was tbuslie'rt, *and ev n
or.o vbo deaertVfs'gj imfeb loss’ to them,
for they are under heavy bond to return
them in good order. There is no tolling
how much damage this one might have
done if I had not stopped him.”
“What will you do with him?” I
asked."
“ Oh, I’ll carry him back up the road
a eon) lie of hundred miles and drop him.
He won’t come back.”
There was something significant in
this latter sentence, but as the speaker's
teeth were gloaming f did not demand
more explicit information.
When we got ready to move out the
Chinaman was locked in an empty Ih>x
ear. That was tho last I saw of him.
One of the train hands told mo tho next
mor.dug that he was dropped alongside
the track during tho night. When 1
ask. and what they wove shooting at about
midnight, ho replied'
'• Yutdopo!"'
I'v. vy snilo or two wo passed a China*
j man’s gr vo. They bury their dead
above ground in wooden, boxes, over
whieli a thin layer of dirt is thrown.
Each one was marked bv a headboard,
covered with hieroglyphics. Some of
.the graves were newly made, and the
little piles of paper money, which the
dclfil man's friends had placed there to
pay his exp uses iu the other world, had
not yt t bknvn away. On some of the
graves were howls of rieo and baked
v
chicken. Dead Chinamen are always
supplied with provisions for tho long
journey. I remarked on the great num
ber of graves to tho brakeman.
“Yes,” ho said ; “ it is a sickly coun
try—for Chinamen 1”
That fellow’s irony was incomparable.
All the sections are worked by Chi
nese laliorers. At one of the section
houses where we stopped tho “boss”
came out and chatted with Martin.
“Oh, by tho way,” he said at length,
“that fellow who was Id—who died yes
terday is laying out there in the car
house. This now gang of mine are from
Canton, nml it's agin’ their religion to
bury a Hong Kong man.”
"They be hanged !” answered Martin,
“Call 'em up.”
The section boss did as directed, and
tho ear was soon surrounded by pigtails.
Martin addressed them from the plut
form. One Celestial, who seemed to bo
the spoke-man, replied. Martin promptly
knocked him down. Ho dealt out per
suasive kicks ami cuffs to several others.
Before wo left, the* di ad Chinaman from
Hong Kong was securely boxed, and ns
we passed around a curve, I saw his Can
ton friends begin to throw dirt over the
nnle coffin.
My friend the brakeman, after we la*,
etme better acquainted, volunteered
nemo interesting information about
“Cap’ll.” As it was mainly of a statisti
cal nature, I am unable to give liis re
marks verbatim. He seemed to hold tho
subduer of the Chinese in high esteem,
and gave minute data respecting tho
number of Celestials ho had “crooked.”
“They'll git him one o' these days,
though,” he sagely concluded. “They’ve
ditched his train twice, an' it wouldn't
surprise mo any day if lie was killed.
These Chinese ore mighty treacherous.”
A gentleman connected with the road
informs me since, that Martin is invalu
able. Without liis assistance the com
pany would be unable to control the
Chinamen, ilo is judge, jury and ex
ecutioner, and whenever his white teeth
gleam the Celestials shiver, for they
know from exp rience that this siuisteY
smile means business.
The Great Comet.
The great comet which astonished ev
erybody by suddenly blazing out elo-io
bi side the sun at broad noon in (Septem
ber, and which shone brilliantly in tlie
early morning hours during October,
lam not yet disappeared. It may bo seeu
any clear morning, soon after midnight,
a little southeast of tho constellation of
Orion, and it is still so bright that many
persons seeing it far south of tho place
ft occupied two mouths ago think it must
he anew comet.
It is not at all surprising, however,
that the comet is yet visible. Home of
tlie great comets of history remained
visible for many months after their peri
helion passage, and it. is doubtful if any
comet ever seen exceeded this one in
brightness when near the perihelion
point. Tlie question whether the comet
will return next year, or in a few years
thereafter, and fall into the son, is still
bring debated. Tho best observations
of its orbit seem to indicate that it will
not a ism return, aud no astronomer of
reputation lends countenance to tho no
tion that it threatens disaster to tho
earth.
Astronomers have to deni with a great
many tough problems, but not any ia
tougher than that of determining tho
orbit of anew comet, and few comets
have given more trouble in this respect
than the one now visible. Calculations
of its period have varied from a few
months to 200 years, and some compu
tations indicate that it may never return,
but go wandering off through space, to
fall some hundreds or thousands of years
hence, within the attraction of some
other sun, when it may repeat its per
formance of last fall to the astonishment
of the inhabitants of worlds belonging to
another solar system.

AN IRON DWELLING-HOUSE.
Goorgo L. Huston, of Pnrkeshmg,
Chester County, Pa., will build a pri
vate mansion for himself entirely of iron,
tho foundations being of solid rock.
Tho floors of tho hull, vestibule, and
library will tic laid with polished cast
iron tiles, in which different qualities of
iron will bo used to produce tho same
varieties of colors as in ordinary tile
flooring. All the other floors of the
himso will be of stout iron plat s firmly
bolted to the iron joists.
The outside wall and inside partitions
nil tjirough the, iitnieturo will he com
posed of two courses of iron plates firmly
lioltod together, so ns to be air-tight.
These hollow iron walls arid partitions
will be used instead of chimneys and for
conveying heat to different parts of the
house and for ventilation. Tho hot
smoke and gases from the furnaces pass
ing through tho sides of Dio rooms in
this way will, it is claimed, be almost
sufficient to keep the house comfortable
in the coldest weather, so that the heat
ing can be done with about one-half tho
fuel required in ordinary houses.
All tho doors and window-sashes will
ho iron, but will be constructed in such
a light way and so nicely balanced upon
hinges and weights as to open and shut
as easily as those made of wood. All
tho insiilo walls and partitions will lie
handsomely painted anil frescoed so ns
to present tlie appearance of any ordinary
house finished iu plaster. Outside the
style of architecture will be light and
graceful, and it will be paint) and and
ornamented so ns to look as if it was
built of wiKxk The roof will be of strong
boiler-plate, and on the top, at the con
vergence of the four gables, will be a
handsome observatory, supported at the
four corners by four lonic pillars of
iron.
Inside tho ornaments w ill Ik- made of
the same material. In tie- parlor will
be a mantel of polished steel, handsome
ly ornamented. There will 1m a similar
one in the dining room, upon which will
tie engraved hunting scenes. In the
library will be a massive mantel, so con
structed that it will look as if it were
made of pig-iron fused together. Quite
a curiosity in this room will lie a cabinet
for the exhibition of specimens of iron.
This will be constructed entirely of
strongly magnetized iron, so that idi
the specimens will adhere to the bock
of it, held in place solely by magnetic
attraction.
In order to guard against the bungling
which would take place in such a solid
iron structure on account of tlie con
traction and expansion caused by the
heat and cold, there will be breaks in
the iron at intervals, which will bo filled
with rubber so that when expansion
takes place there will bo room for it
without producing any change in the
contour of the framework. As mneli ns

First Time in Print.
Miss Louisa M. Alcott, writing to tho
Boston Saturday Evening Gazette, gives
Rome reminiscences of her early experi
ences ns an author. She gays:
“One of the memorable moments of
my life is that in which, ns I trudged to
my little school on a wintry day, mv
eyes fell upon n large yellow ]K>ster with
these delicious words: ‘Bertha,’ anew
talc by the author of ‘The Rival I’rima
Donnas,' will appear in tho Saturday
Evening Gazette. I was late; it was
bitter cold; people jostled me; 1 was
mortally afraid I should be recognized;
but there I stool, feasting my eyes on
tlie fascinating poster, aud saying proudly
to myself, in tho words of tho great Vin
cent Crummies, This, this is fume!'
That, day my pupils had an indulgent
teacher; for, while they struggled with
their pot-hooks, I was writing immortal
works; and, when they droned out tlie
multiplication table, 1 was counting up
the noble fortune mv fen was to earn
for me in the dim, delightful future.
That afternoon my sisters made a pil
grimage to behold this famous placard,
and, finding it torn by the wind, boldly
stolo it, aud came home to wave it like a
triumphal banner in the bosom of the
excited family. The tattered paper still
exists, folded away Avith other relies of
those early days, so hard and v. t so
sweet, xv'hcu the first small victories
wi re won, and tlie enthusiasm of youth

ltlckens and tho “Herald” Reporter.
George Alfred Townsend writes to tlie
Cincinnati Enquirer: I will tell a story
that Air. O 'good, the Boston publisher,
gave me during the week. Ho said w hen
Mr. Dickens wanted to come to read in
America, a few years before his death, he
was very sensitive about the reception he
would have after his lampooning the
country in 1842. Ho ho sent his agent,
Dr. Dolby, ahead, who called on Fields
& Osgood and asked them to take tlie
agent to the newspaper offices in Boston
mid New York. Among other places he
wua carried to the office of James O.
Bennett, tho founder of the Herald.
The old man listened to tho questions
Dr. Dolby put When ho was askod if
Dickens’s comments on America long ago
would injure his reception, Bennett said:
"No; tho American people are great
enough to overlook tho errors or impu
dence of a young man who meant to sell
liis wares about ns iu England." After
Dolby got through, however, old Ben
nett remarked: “Who is this Pickens
anyway ? He is nothing but a reporter.
