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 THE MORNINU NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1887. 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.
