THE SONG OF THE WIND.
Who hath an eye to find me?
Who hath a chain to bind me?
My haunts are earth’s fair forests, fields and
%?as.
I break the sunlight into dancing flakes,
And blurr the pictured dreams of sleeping
lakes.
Hither and thither going where I please.
Men see not, but they hear me;
They love me, yet they fear me.
All nature breathes and moves at my com¬
mand.
Sometimes I dally with a maiden's tresses,
Or bear faint odors from far wildernesses,
Then strew with wrecks the desolated land.
Well may the seaman tremble
When I with smiles dissemble!
For ne’er a spirit had such changing moods.
From wafting heavenward the white¬
winged ships
Under propitious skies, I seize my whips
And lash the tempests from their solitudes.
Who hath an eye to find me?
Who hath a chain to bind me.
The vagrant roamer of the homeless sky?
Before the hoary mountains were, I lived;
For ages murmuring through their pines
have grieved
That I alone of all things ne’er shall die.
— J. P. Ritter, Jr., in BelforcTs Magazine.
THE SOUDANESE SPY.
BY WIllLIAM M . graydon.
“Listen, Bruce, what’s that?” andCar-
raised his band with a gesture of
and looked at me intently. Then
both dropped our cigars f and rushed
t t0 the door of the E nbassv
.
A gun-shot, plain and unmistakable,
had echoed through the night air, and
We certaiul y had beard a faint cry.
-
But in the dreary street all was quiet,
anC * tlie so ^ tar y electric lamp reflected no
shadows save our own on the pavement
of the British Embassy, while the palace
across the way, with its coral facades and
massive carved gates, showed no signs of
life.
Then a gun went off, a drum began to
rattle loudly, arms clashed, hurrying foot •
steps echoed on the stones, and shouts
were given and answered. I listened in
speechless astonishment, and then rushed
back for my cap and sword. It was best
to be prepared, though what possible
ground for alarm existed I could not see.
Suakin was protected by a line of sen¬
tries that extended a mile beyond the
town. No signal had come from the out¬
skirts, yet here was this turmoil in the
very midst of the European quarter.
As I hurried back to the door the great
palace gates swung open and a squad of
Egyptian soldiers trooped out, their
swarthy faces shining under their crimson
caps. Close behind them, escorted by
several officers, came a tall, dignified,
looking man. He was bareheaded and
held an unsheathed sword in his hand.
I recognized him at first sight as Ach-
med Has, the Egyptian Governor of Sua¬
kin. He glanced up and down the
street and then hurried across to the Em¬
bassy.”
“You are a British officer!” he said,
breathless with excitement.
Captain Dugdale, of the Ninth Dra¬
goons, at your command, Your Excel-
lencj 7 ,” I said, briefly.
“Thank you. I am in need of your
services. An Arab prisoner, a captured
8py 0 f the Mahdi, has made his escape,
My stupid soldiers are to blame. The
fellow has been gone some time now, and
it is important he be retaken, for he has
stolen valuable plans of the town and
Ipriincations. but if I fear dragoons my soldiers will . can do
your scour the
plain-”
“Your Excellency,” I interrupted,
“what you desire shall be done at once.”
I mounted my horse, waved a hasty
salute, and galloped off down the narrow
street, hobnobbing leaving Achmed Ras and Carriston
Embassy, together on the steps of the
for Carriston was the British
Ambassador at Suakin. The hot blood
was I coursing madly through my veins, for
had only been at Suakim a week, and
the faintest touch of excitement was in¬
tensely welcome.
I remembered, too, having seen this
escaped Arab only a few days previous,
when he was hein g led captive through
the streets of the town—a great black
giant, with muscular, brawny limbs and
his black locks dangling in curls down his
shoulders.
I spurred rapidly through the town,
crossed the peninsula to the mainland,
where the troops were quartered side by
side with the native population, and soon
the bugle call to arms was floating out on
the night air, and the jingling of spurs
and the trampling of hoofs were heard on
all sides. A few brief, concise orders
an we galloped ,, , out , onto , the ,, desert . , and .
“
scattered over the sandy plain. Chances
were in our favor, for the moon was com¬
ing up slowly, and the enemy’s outposts,
where alone the Arab could find safety,
were at that time three miles beyond the
town.
hiot , T , stone bush , , mound , of ,
a or or a
sand escaped scrutiny. The men were
W!dely scattered,chngmg far to the north
and to the south and drawing steadily
nearer to the enemy s lines.
I galloped straight across the plain,
closely attended by a solitary trooper, a
brave fellow named a om Fraser I kept
as far as possible in the direction I judged
? have e f W the pleasure T of r en capturing ™ him my-
muffled £e V° r ; by he tno dutted of sand fy and h . orS would ?
not betray my approach until I should be
close upon mm.
A mile and a half ^rom the town lay a
belt oi deserted mtrenchments from
which the enemy had been driven a month
or so previous* As we approached these
we slackened our speed and began to look
for a suitable crossing place. Tne Brit¬
ish shells had leveled them in places, and
one of these points we soon found, a
, break , . the , trench , with . , gentle .,1 slope
m a
on either side. Y» e rode slowly down
into the hollow, and as our horses were
commencing to ascend again Fraser sud-
deniy tugged fiercely at ray arm
“Look, Captain, look! he whispered
excitedly, and as I followed the range of
lus outstretched hand I saw a sight that
made my heart leap.. Off to the south e *-
tended the trenches in one unbroken for-
matton, their mounds of sands , rigid . and ,
exact, and outlined sharply in the moon-
light against the right hand wail of earth
was a swiftly movivg shadow. Even as
looked the SpCCter VtiDlShetl , arOUnu. ________, a
ViC
CU curve and “lli we saw hor”«- it m more
We heads round and
,ho trenth sir!c fot
it was fully wide enouuh ~ for three horse-
men to . rifle -J iibreast.
We thundered <m in silence. I clutched
the reins tightly with one hand and with
the other I held my saber. The Arab
yvus unarmed aud I would take him alive*
X thought, and lead him back in triumph
to Saukin. This all passed through my
mind in an instant and then we galloped
round the curve and saw our prey in
full view before us. He was struggling
along painfully and limping as though
one leg was hurt. The moon shone full
upon him, and to my surprise I saw
that he carried a great shield and one of
those enormous double-edged swords
which these Arabs use with such terrible
effect. He had doubtless fovmd them in
the trench.
We called on him to surrender, but he
never even turned until as we were close
upon him he suddenly whirled around
in desperation and confronted us menac¬
ingly. We drew our sabers and dashed
upon Jiim.
Just here, extending full across the
trench, was a rugged depression, caused
probably by an exploding shell.
This we failed to see, and, while
Fraser's horse leaped it gallantry, my
animal stumbled and fell, and down I
went, partly beneath him.
I tried to rise, but myjankle was badly
sprained, and, with a cry of pain, 1
dropped down behind the horse. Then I
forgot every thing in what I saw going on
before me. The Arab had retreated
against the wall and was fiercely keeping
Fraser at bay. Their swords clashed
until the sparks flew, and Fraser’s heavy
strokes were intercepted by the Arab’s
leathern shield.
They fought on in silence and in the
moonlight I saw the Arab’s face, the eyes
sparkling with hatred and the white teeth
clinched in deadly determination. Clash
after clash rang on the night air. Sud¬
denly Fraser spurred on his horse and
dealt a fearful blow T at the Arab’s ex¬
posed head, but quick as a flash the great
sword flew up, and the short saber strik¬
ing full and forcibly against the awful
edge, broke off close beside the hilt and
lay shining on the sand at their feet.
What followed I can never forget. It
will haunt me to my dying day.
Fraser threw up his right hand, with
the broken hilt, and with the left reached
for his revolver, and then, as I looked
on, stupid with horror, the Arab raised
his great sword aloft with both hands,
and with all the force of his desperate
strength he hurled it forward like a
catapult.
The gleaming blade flashed the moon¬
light from its edge and crushed with an
awful sound through poor Fraser’s head,
cleaving its way through the skull and
between the shoulders and on down
through the back until its point fairly
touched the rear of the saddle.
Split in twain from head to waist the
poor fellow dropped to the ground with¬
out a cry, and his plunging steed tram¬
pled over the body and then galloped in
mad fright down the trench.
Wholly engrossed in this awful scene,
I forgot my own peril, and only realized
it fully when’ the Arab, bracing himself
against the wall of the trench, began to
drag his sword out of Fraser’s body.
With a shudder I reached for my pistol,
and grew faint for an instant when I re¬
membered that it lay under the horse in
the holster. I was wholly at the Arab’s
mercy. The wretch was still tugging at
the sword, and seemed unable to loosen
it. If only I had my pistol how nicely I
could bring him down.
All at once I saw something glitter in
one of Fraser’s outstretched hands, and
the sight of it gave me a thrill of hope.
It was his revolver, which he had suc¬
ceeded in grasping just before the blow
fell.
If I could reach it before the Arab
could extricate his sword, I was saved. If
not—Fraser's fate would be mine, I
gritted my teeth, seized my saber firmly and,
and rose erect. The Arab saw me,
with a savage imprecation to Allah he
threw himself on the sword with a terri¬
ble effort. Still it clung to Fraser’s body,
and then, as I leaped toward him, forget¬
ful of my sprained ankle, and flourished
my sabre fiercely, he grabbed his shield
and fell back a few yards, keeping on the
defensive. I uttered a loud shout to in¬
timidate him, and then bent over pool
Fraser. He still held the pistol, but his
grip ivas like iron. I gave a strong pull
and then another, and just as his stiffened
fingers loosened their clasp my injured
ankle asserted itself and I fell heavily to
one side. The wary Arab was watching
his chance and before I could even turn
he leaped on me like a tiger and we rolled
over in the sand splashing through a pool
of Fraser’s crimson life-blood.
The Arab had clutched at my throat,
but missed it and clasping each other’s
shoulders we floundered about the trench,
now one uppermost and now the other.
With clenched teeth, and struggling for
breath we fought on desperately, knowing
that one or the other must die. I could
feel the Arab’s hot breath upon my neck
and his huge brass earrings flapping
against my cheeks. I still held the pistol
tightly in my left hand. If I could only
get a chance to use it! Very foolishly I
relaxed my grasp a brief second and in
that lightening-like interval the Arab
seized the advantage and fastened both
his brawny J hands firmlv on my throat,
^ st led and strove to turn,
J finge ^ rs were pressing my wind-

raised it with a jerk. I put the muzzle

’Tennessee, Jennings’Business College, Nashville,
i though yet in its infancy, has
on students t8 register more than six hundred
from seventeen states and terri-
t° r; cs, 90 per cent, of these have secured
f O0( ^ positions in localities scattered
from New York to Mexico, and from
Washington of these 1’erritory to Florida. Many
from $900 young to $1,500 men are receiving salaries
The students of this per annum.
school are taught
not only practical book-keeping and com¬
mercial usage, but are also taught to cal¬
culate interest by the shortest rule ever
discovered, and by this rule many of
them have been able to get the interest
at 6 per cent, per annum inside of five
minutes on one hundred examples of $1,-
000 each, the time to run in each case
was years, months and days, and no two
periods of time alike; this is at the rate
of three seconds to the example.
The principal of this school having
had experience as a bank teller, teaches
his students the art of rapid money count¬
ing. The rule is to take a package
amounting nine to $500, composed of tkiny-
bills as follows: Twenty bills in
5\\ ten bills in 10’s, five bills in 20’s and
four bills of 50's, then secretly remove
one of the bills, either a five, a ten, a
twenty, dent or a fifty, and require the stu¬
to count the package twice correctly
in succession, taking the slowest time of
the two counts for a record. Many of
the students have accomplished this in
10 seconds, and one of them in 9J sec¬
onds. Now, therefore, believing this
time of 9J seconds to be extraordinary, I
challenge the students of any other busi¬
ness college in America (or out of it) to
equal this time, and 1 challenge any bank
teller in America (or out of it) to bent
the time one second; I also challenge the
students of any other business college, or
any person who has not attended this
school, to equal the time in interest cal¬
culations above mentioned. A copy of
this has been mailed to the business col¬
leges and bauk tellers throughout the
country. R. W. JENNINGS,

A Long-Lived Turk.
_
Those who are anxious to remain . in
the ,, flesh „ , beyond , , the ordinary duration , .. of .
this mortal life will bo interested ia tho
habits of thookl Turk, who recently
died at Haadatha, aged 1B0 years. Old
Hadji Soliman Saba hud seven wives, all
ot whom died before him, he was the
father of sixty sons and nine daughters,
who have also gone the way of all flesh,
and the year before his death he was
thinking of marrying again, but could
not obtuin the necessary funds to buy a
bride. Saba was a farmer unto his life’s
end; his diet consisted mainly of barley
bread, beans and water, and only twice a
year in high festivals, did he eat meat.
His clothes were even more simple than
his diet, consisting of a shirt only, and
when he traveled, a pair of trousers. His
bod was a mattress and straw mat, and it
had never been a “bed of sickness” till
three days before his death.
At Last.
One of the oldest engineering schemes
projected in the world is now gradu¬
ally approaching completion, and the
work will, in all probability, be finished
during the present year. This is the
canal through the Isthmus of Corinth, in
Greece. Work was actually begun on
the canal under the Emperor Nero, so
that over seventeen hundred years will
have passed between its beginning and
its final completion. As finally exca¬
vated, the canal will be four miles long,
with a depth of eight metres, or sufficient
for the largest vessels which usually nav¬
igate the adjacent seas.
Value of Silk-Worms.
The value of silk-worm cocoons grown
in the world annually is enormous. The
last great estimate of the world’s silk
product grand it was calculated that it reached
the total of 67,000,000 lbs., which,
at an average value of about 10s. per
pound, realized over fifty-three and a
half millions sterling. China contributed
23,000,000 lbs., value over eighteen aud
a half millions; Japan to the value of
£3,400,000; India, £7,000,000; Italy,
£12,000,000, and France, £6,200,000.
“Beautiful Land.” —The first baby
bom in Oklahoma City, a wee girl, was
named Oklahoma by tho highest bidder
at an auction for the privilege of naming
the first baby born in the new territory.
The auctioneer was a gambler, and the
bids were offered by a company of boom-
ers, cowboys and land speculators. $58
dollars was paid to secure to the baby
her remarkable name,and the money was
at once handed over to her poverty-
stricken parents, who received it with
tears had of gratitude. The frail little visi¬
tor already proved to be their mas-
cotte.
