THE SICK CHILD.
Child:
O, mother, lay your hand on my brew,
O. mother, m l her. where am I now:
Why is the room so gaunt and great!
Why am I lying awake so late?
Mother:
four not at all, the night is stili,
Nothing :s here tr.at means you ill—
Nothing but lamps the whole town through
And never a child awake but you.
Child:
Mother, mother, speak low in my ear,
Some of the things are so great anil near.
Some are so small and far away,
I have a fear, I cannot say,
Whit have I done, and wh.it do I fear!
And why are yon crying, mother dear?
Mother:
Out in the city sounds begin,
Thank the kind God the eurfs come ini
An hour or two more and God is so kind.
Toe day shall be blue ill the window blind.
Then shall my child go sweetly asleep,
And dream of the birds and tne hills of sheep.
Robert Loris Stevenson.
LONG BROWN'S LIFE AND DEATH.
The Latter Was Quite in Keeping With
the Former—A Man of Nerve
From the San h'rancisco Examiner.
One day, about a dozen years ago, a vet
eran Comstock gambler committed suicide
by shooting himself through the heart. The
local reporter who went to the lodging house
to get the particulars were received by
“Long” Brown, the friend and partner of
the deceased. Mr. Brown, a very tall man,
with a long sandy beard and shrewd, smil
ing eyes, st i on the bed in the room where
the tragedy oocurred. Mr. Brown was
dressed as few, besides gamblers, dress in
mining towns—that is to say, with some
regard to style and elegance. He kept his
slouch nat on, puffed a cigar, and grasped
a demijohn in one hand and a glass in the
other. Everybody who entered was hos
pitably invited to "smoke and drink. The
dead man had been his room mate and inti
mate for years, but Mr. Brown did not
seem to suffer in soirits.
“I don’t know why Jim did it,” he said to
the reporters. “He didn’t tell me, and so I
suppose his reasons were private. A gen
tleman has a right to keep his own affairs
to himself. I left him in bed when I went
out to breakfast. He’d been running late
the night beforehand I guess he wanted to
snooze. When I got back, a couple of
hours later, he’d done the job. Sad? Well,
I don’t know. It’s only a question of time
when we’ll all have to go, and it seems to
me a six-shooter is a good deal cleaner than
disease. It’s a blanked sight quicker, any
way. Jim was a royal good fellow, and" a
man, every inch of him. I’m sorry he’s
gone, of course, and i’ll miss him a good
deal for a while, but I ain’t fool enough to
ask a friend who wants to quit the game to
keep sitting at the table just to oblige me.”
Mr. Brown himself committed suicide in
Virginia City a tew days ago. fiis health
and luck had both deserted him, and he
took a dose of morphine. This letter lay
by his bedside when his rigid body was
found-
I am trying an experiment which I hope to
make a success. If it is I shall lie happy, and
others should be. I apologize to my friends,
but my enemies, if there is a possible chance,
how- busy will I make it for them 1 This co'untry
is played out, and I have started for those pale
realms of shade, where each must take his
chatuberin the silent hails of death. I don't
know what treatment I shall get, and I don't
care.
I have a very fine trunk at Carson City, and it
is not in soak, either. * * I want Janies Breen
to have it. * * Destroy any letters you may
find. And now, James, old boy, good-bye, and all
the rest of my friends. J ust put me in a box.and as
you are about to plant me drop in a small tki.sk
of whisky straight ; no ice, unless it is petrified.
Address all correspondence in care of Ilis Sa
tanic Majesty. He is a personal friend, and I
think the oldest resident of the camp I expect
to visit, and so he can make it pleasartt for me.
Does this look like weakening or squealing? I
expect to keep open house to-morrow, but I
have not picked out the place. 1 am neither
crazy nor drunk. I have done this deliberately
and of my own free will Don’t make any fuss,
brass band, etc. One thing I do request, that
no individual will go to any- expense or say
“poor fellow.” The amount tney might spend
would have done me good a week ago. ’ But
again, good-by. lam satisfied. I shall have a
pleasant time. I shall be content if 1 can only
find a pair o' dice. Don't kill me for that I lam
old, and only in the way. So long, young fel
lows. I think it’s working to a charm.
The Virginia Chronicle says the letter
was evidently written after the suicide had
taken the poison, for the lirst part was
penned in a clear, steady hand, while to
ward the end it was scarcely logible.
Brown was a man of mark among the
sports of the coast. Years ago he had an in
terest in the old Mead House on Moutgomery
etreet, this city, a famous gambling estab
lishment. in its time. He was counted rich.
His friends said he was the son of a New
York clergyman and a graduate of an
Eastern college. In appearance ho was
striking, being over six feet tall, broad
shouldered and as straight as a lance.
Brown had his notions as to what a gentle
man should be, and lived up to them. He
dressed expensively, liked to have it thought
that he read a good deal, and was
given to quoting poetry when not quite so
ber. His code of gentlemanhood, however,
did not interfere with the energetic practice
of his profession. He would gumbie with
anybody, and used every means to win.
He was not peculiar in that resjiect, though,
as was shown by the universal admiration
expressed on the Comstock by a grand coup
which he achieved after the groat fire of
1875. Ho and three confederates struck
Tom Duncan’s game on 0 street one even
ing for about $2,200. Drinks are served
free in faro rooms. When gentlemen
at the table are thirsty and say so
the dealer strikes a bell, a waiter
appears, takes the orders, and presently
brings in the glasses on a tray. The
waiter at Duncan’s was corrupted by
Brown. He held the tray close up to the
dealer, and while that unsuspecting person
took anu drained his goblet Brown slipped
his hand under too tray and abstracted the
little silver box containing the cards. He
replaced io with another box, exactly the
same in appearance, but loaded with u deck
which, when the dealer resumed r work,
yielded surprising results. Brown and his
confederates covered the table with bets,
straight and copi>ereU, tip to the limit, aud,
having the advantage of kn "vrng exactly
how the cards would come out, iu a very
few seconds had won $2,200.
Tlte dealer stopped in the middle of the
deal, looked up with an expression of great
intelligence, smiled slightly, and said, as he
handed over the silver case:
“Brown, I guess you’d better give me
back my box.”
“Certainly,” assented Mr. Brown, with
equal cheerfulue*' and undisturbed self-pos
session. Drawing the article from his coat
tail pocket, lie restored it with u bow.
The dealer cashed the chips—for “every
thing goes” among professionals—drinks
were again ordoivo, mutual compliments
were exchanged, and Mr. Brown and ids
friends retired to inaugurate a congratu
latory orgy.
While the bonanza excitement was at, its
height Col. Jam s (1. Fair was interested on
perceiving one morning a nout little shanty
that hod been built during the night on
Con. Virginia ground, about 150 yards from
the monster hoisting works.
Tlie Colonel strolled down to see what it
meant. Thrusting his lioud inside the open
door of tlie shanty ho beheld one man iu a
hole about three feet deep, digging away
industriously. Beside tbo hole sat Long
Brown and and brother apoculator, uuch with
a rifle aeruea bis knees.
“What’s this boysf 1 asked Col. Fair in hi*
cordial way.
“This,” replied Brown with like cordiali
ty, “is the Northwest Con. Virginia nous, a
little extension to your valuable claim Colo
uel.”
“But you have no right here boy,” pro
tested Fair; “this la (kin. Virginia ground.
“The law is agninnt you, my son*.’’
“Hang the law I” said Brown. “This 1*
our ground, and wo propo* t to bold It
dgaiimt all comets*. IVe'ro poor ami honest
miners ami weain't going to he oppressed
by souiliMh capita! The first man Umt in
terfere* with in we'll ulioAt au l I hen go on
tut a hunt fur the ut- u who ant him.''
Mr. Brown concluded his remarks by
stating the number of thousands of dollars
at which Northwest Con. Virginia was
valued by its possessors. The shnnty van
ished as swiftly and mysteriously as it had
arisen.
The man who went to liis own death with
a swagger and a jest is not known to have
taken lire during Ins career—a fact as hon
orable as it is exceptional in the history of a
mining camp gambler. Sis perfect readi
ness to light, upon duo provocation goes far
to account for his bloodless record. He was
good natural, but reckless, and others feared
to provoke him.
Brown had no respect whatever for the
doctrine that human life is in itself sacred.
Once when ho was dealing at the Silver
Palace, on South C street, a man who had
been gambling and losing went o it. repeat
edly and borrowed money. His last trip of
this kind resulted in a single dollar. Throw
ing it down upon a card the unlucky one
declared in a firm, half drunken voice his
determination to blow his brains out if he
lost.
He lost.
Brown gathered in the coin, went on
with the deal, and presently glancing up
inquired:
“Why don’t you blow- your brains out?”
“Because,” cried tho desperate gambler,
“I haven’t any pistol.”
Quietly Brown pulled a drawer open,
took out a Derringer, and handed it to him.
The deal went on. There was no report.
Again Brown looked up from under the
broad brim of his slouch hat. The ruined
wretch had the muzzle of the Derringer be
tween his teeth, and his thumb was on the
trigger.
•‘Well,” asked Brown, softly, “why don’t
you shoot. ”
“Because,” sputtered the man, his utter
ance impeded somewhat by the barrel of
the pistol, which half filled his mouth, “be
cause it would give you too much satis
faction.”
And he threw the weapon down and fled.
Brown’s funeral, which took place in Vir
ginia City-, was largely attended. He was
about 54 years of age. He left uo messages
for relatives, if he bad any.
A GREAT STEAMSHIP.
A Revelation Promised to the Mari
time World ft-om Alexandria.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Alexandria, Va., Sept. 14. —Just now
this quaint aud ancient town promises to rise
suddenly into prominence by being selected
as the location of an enterprise which is to
be a revelation in the construction of ocean
steamships. This embryo “boom,” it is
hoped, will soon materialize and give to
Alexandria the importance promised by
those who have taken the initiatory steps to
ward this end. Viewed in the light of the
explanations given by those who have es
tablished themselves here as the representa
tives of a great undertaking, it may be ac
cepted that the results, if accomplished, will
at least bear testimony to the value of
American brains, courage and capital in
their relation to our merchant marine.
About six months ago, as stated in the
Sun at the time, the Arrow Steamship Com
pany, of New York, purchased the shipyard
and marine railway property of Agnew &
Sons. The Arrow Steamship Company
owns no steamships and has never operated
any, and practically as yet is an enterprise
on paper only. The name, however, will
apply to steamships to be built here in their
own yard, and which, when completed, will
revolutionize ocean travel, if the letter of
their intentions is carried out. As yet the
only evidence of the giant enterprise is the
completion of the foundation for the keel
of the first steamship, which is to
be named the Pocahontas. She is to be a
five-masted vessel,. constructed of iron and
steel. Her dimensions are: 540 feet
long over all, 518 feet 8 inches long between
perpendiculars, 40 feet beam and 46 feet
depth of hull from hurricane deck. She
will be fitted with a compound engine, the
diameter of high-pressure cylinder being 75
inches, and that of low-pressure 150 inches,
with a five-feet stroke of both pistons.
These engines are estimated when going at
full speed, to indicate 10,500 horse power
when cutting off steam at half stroke, but
when using steam at full stroke in the high
pressure cylinder, and using the expansion
due to the low-pressure cylinder, the en
gines are expected to develop 28,000 indi
cated horse power. There will lie twenty
boilers, each 10)* feet wide by 13V£ feet high,
arranged in pairs, twelve forward and eight
aft of the engine room. There are to bo
six smokestacks. The coal bunko, s
will hold 1,800 tons of cool or more
than two cargoes of the average collier sail
ing from Baltimore. The shaft is to be 220
feet long, 24 inches in diameter, and to
weigh 100 tons. Contrary to all ether ideas
in marine construction, the shaft bearings
will rest directly on the keel. The keel is
to lie 510 l'eet long, s*s' feet deep at the bow,
lOJ-j foet at the stern and 12 inches thick,
making a total weight of 750 tons. It will
consist of wrought iron plates, one inch
thick and one foot wide, laid together with
broken joints and bolted solidly through.
With such a narrow vessel as the rocahontas
is destined to be it is essential to have weight
at the bottom, and rather than make the
keel lighter and put in permanent iron bal
last, it is proposed to make the keel, on ac
count of its rigidity and massiveness, serve
also as a bedplate, sustain the weight of the
gigantic engines, and keep in alignment her
ponderous shaft. Though the keel is made
so strong, complete reliance will not be
placed on it ana the vessel’s outside walls
for longitudinal strength, as is the universal
case with all other steamships. In addi
tion there will be six vertical longitudinal
walls, of steel and iron, through tlie entire
length. The whole interior construction is
cellular throughout, making tlie Pocahon
tas non-sinkubio and collision proof under
all circumstances. She is to liavo sufflcl'nt
speed to cross the Atlantic ill six days. Her
speed is placed at between twenty-eightand
thirty-five miles mi hour.
In this utilitarian uire it is a difficult mat
ter to suggest anything moro elegant or
comfortable in ocean travel than the steam
ships that now form the fleets for passenger
and freight service. But a glance at the
drawings of the interior of the projected
Pocahontas, to be seen in her designer’s
rooms at the Braddock House, indicates that
the limit has not yet been reached in any
thing afloat. The sanitary arrangements
are excellent and leave nothing to be ac
sired. The staterooms are each provided
with closets, permanent washstnnds and
bath, the latter converted into a sofu when
not in use. The floors will be of Georgia
marble covered with rugs; the
steel walls with draperies, and from the
arched ceiling of ouch room will be a
chandelier bearing electric lights. It is
calculated that tf.UW electric lights will lie
used throughout the vessel. Each state
room is to be 7R' l’eet wide, 10 feet deep
and feet high. The beds can be con
cealed iii the daytime, sleeping-car fashion,
thereby converting the room into
a handsome parlor. There will lav no inner
staterooms, all opening from the grand
saloon, which is AtH) feet long without an
obstruction, Is> , feet wide, \2'4 feet high.
Its walls are to be tastefully decorate I, and
in part covered witli mirrors set in shallow
metal frames, aud the decoia'.ive work
ovorhoad, cornices, etc , in galvanized iron,
liumted and gilded. The door is
marble tiling, covered with hand
some carpets. A theatre und
chapel will be tranformations of portions of
the saloon at the proper time. A stage,
with all if* accessories, will lie erected.
Rooms for the steerage passengers are ouch
to mvonunodate sixteen persons. There will
be hot and old water mid buth in every
room, anil pure air forced into them will
make the comforts Of the .now neglected
steerage vov *gi-r u feature nbt hitherto at
tempted. These are but a few feature* of
Ibis new rival for ocean patronage. There
are also involved principle* in her machin
ery which are noi known a* yet, and It 1*
stated will not lie knwu until she make* her
debut for public consideration.
Mr. Robert 11. Fryer is the designer of
the Pocahontas, lie is an American engi
neer ami an afTabli little gentleman, who
take* pleasure in explaining the construc
tion of a ship which ropresent* twenty-two
oars of hi* life's study. Suddenly ta coma

forward with claims for the fastest and
greatest passenger steamship, with the most
modern scientific improvements, will make
Mr. Fryer the envied of naval constructors of
older countries. Being built in America,
with American money and of purely Ameri
can products, the vessel will lie an object of
pride to all Americans. Her estimated cost
is $600,000, or about 25 per cent, less than an
inferior vessel of equal tonnage will cost on
the Clyde. The design of the Arrow Steam
ship Company, Mr. Fryer explained to the
writer, is to have a line of steamships to
carry passengers, mail and express pack
ages only, excluding all character of
freight. Each vessel is intended to make
to round trips to any other steamer’s one,
since, carrying no freight, she need remnin
in port but fwenty-four hours at a time.
“We intend to build twelve of these steam
ships in Alexandria,” said Mr. Fryer, "and
when the full designs of the eonijianv are
carried out, the line will form a daily ferry
between this anil the other side. It will
then be that a man need not go to-day, but
can wait until to-morrow, and not do as
now, wait for fully a week for a steamer.
It has not been decided what port, shall be
the terminus on tho other side, but the com
pany have offers already from agents in all
the great seaports.”
In the construction of the vessel no special
machinery will lie needed at tho yard in
Alexandria With the exception of tho
bearings and fittings of the siiuft and engine,
the entire structure is formed of rolled plate
iron or steel, the simplest product of tho
rolling mill, being made by the ordinary
rolls provided in every mill, thus avoiding
the use of special machinery for the produc
tion of anv part of the hull or frame of the
vessel. The great point to be noted in this
respect is the rapidity with which the vessel
may lie built, as tho work of supply may be
distributed among a number of nulls in the
interior, shipped to tho seaboard, and the
wholeereeted in a comparatively short space
of time.
Mr. Fryer said the construction work
would begin within six weeks, and in early
spring the Pocahontas would be ready for
sea. He also said that Baltimore workmen
would contribute to the building of the Po
cahontas, as already a contract for plate
iron had been placed in that city.
Her Special Butter Dish.
North Coitpcay (N. If.) Letter in Boston Herald.
A young lady told me of a scientific ex
periment sfce has been trying. Her board
ing-house i* a very fashionable and exclusive
and excellent one, but of late the perversi
ties of the butter have been trying. Butter
sometimes has a way of being perverse, and
this usually in August, when it should be
the best, just as children are very likely to
appear at their very worst when they
should behave the best. Now, some ono
had told this voung lady that if cream were
buried in the "earth for twenty-four hours it
would then be found to have become butter -
of a superior quality and flavor. She
i longed to test the truth of this statement,
ana, confessing her ambition to Mrs. Daniel
Merriiuan, she was made a present of a hag
of cream from the Bigelow farm. She tola
me, with the minuteness indispensable to
tlii- description of scientific procedures, that
the bag was of white cloth, of strong and
firm material, and that tho cream, of course,
being from the Bigelow farm, was of lovely
richness, of the sort usually described as
being “ thick enough to cut with a knife.”
She made the excavation in the ground, of
the necESsary size, and deposited her cream
and covered it up. After twenty-four hours
she unearthed it, and it was a ball of golden,
hard, delicious butter, wanting only salt to
make it perfect, aud this she mlded with her
own fair hands. There were no traces of
buttermilk: it had all been absorbed through
the pores of the cloth into the earth. It is
improbable that the young lady will go on
making butter after this manner, but her
method may indicate that there is shortly
to be a revolution in the art of butter
making. The new way has to recommend it
a great saving of labor, and, one would say,
of care as weO. In these wonderful days it
is impossible to prophesy what great and
momentous results may come from such a
happening as this.
Brown Bread and Mind Cure.
From the Boston Globe.
The beneficial effect of the mind cure pro
cess is shown by the experience ot a young
man who has been “bucking the tiger” in
Portland. Me., aud had met with the usual
run of bad luck. He started in with over
SIOO, and at tho close of the sitting he had
but 25c. remaining. This sum was not
enough for a stake, and so the unfortunate
player left the den in search of some other
turn of luck. Not far from the gambling
house he met an acquaintance who com
plained of a very troublesome disorder in
his nervous system and asked advice on the
subject. The gamester thought it over and
finally made an agreement to meet his friend
later "after which he departed in search of
food. Baked beans and brown bread made
up his fare. While eating he mechanically
rolled some of the bread into a ball, then an
idea flashed upon him. He proceeded to
roll the bread into good-sized pills, until he
had made thirty six of them, all of which he
took to his suffering friend, and after giv
ing directions regarding their use,received $3
for three dozen. With this money he sped
to the gambling table, aud in a short time
won 8150. A few weeks afterward he met
his friend aud received his blessing for
effecting so speedy a cure of his trouble.
