Jin old worn hook, on a corner shelf,
And a spray of faded yevr ;

And a ribbon of faded blue.
A needle cabc, both empty and old,
And a cape with hidden spring.
"Wherein two golden watch key# lie,
A heart—And a wedding ring.
I take the book from the corner shelf,

And Ik I •;e me stands the form I loved,
With hair of a golden hue.
And I gaze so long in those earnest eyes,
That my soul grows weak with pain,
Then she fades away, and I gently lay

There is a gnat here thlsaurnmer that
crawls up under a person's hair and bites
him on the scalp, causing an immense
lump to swell on nis head. It is hard for a
person who has been bitten by one of these
gnats to distinguish whether it is a big
bump on his head cr his little head on a
big bump.

Sweet is the voice cf maiden fair
Bright is the glow of the rising moon;
Bolt are the zephyrs that »tlr the air,
Loud is the blast of the trombone’s tune, *
The maiden will sleep in the morning gray,

The zephyrs will die when the night ia gone,
Jtut the blasted trombone will still play on.

"Walker" process. It is claimed that the
works show a product of 300,000 feet of
gas ont of thirty tons of sawdust at a cost
of $100. with by-products of an aggregate

Tub latest estimate of the wheat crop
amounts to 485,000,000 bushels. With au
acreage of over 87,000,000 this would make
the average yield per acre twelve and a
half bushels. Last year the average was
eleven and half bushels. The highest
average was in 1870, 13 08 bushels, and
the lowest in 1881,10.10 bushels. At pres
ent prices the great crop of this year is
worth to the farmer nearly $100,000,000 less
than last year’s.

A Remarkable Admission.
Brooklyn Eaflc (Dem.).
No supporter ol Cleveland expects or asks
Mr. Carl Schurz to indorse the Democratic
platform. Ho will work and vote for the
Democratic candidate because he considers
him a better man than Mr. lilaine. His
advocacy has this extent, no more. It is
nonsense to criticise Mr. Scburz for any
thing contained in the Democratic plat
form, particularly ak no feller can tell ex
actly what the principal plank means.

Astonishing Experience of Lieut. Camp

New York Sun.
A particularly banged-up specimen
of a tramp presented himself at Castle
Garden late on Sunday afternoon. Ilia
toes protrnded through the rents in his
old shambling shoes, his ragged and
patched trousers bagged in shapeless
folds about his legs, his coat was a
sight to see, and nothing short of being
run over by a freight train could have
reduced the remains oi the black Der
by hat he wore to its bewilderingly
complicated state of ruin.
“I am Lieutenant John Tyler Camp
bell of tiie British army," he said to
Clerk Kilroy, “and J am hungry.
"A fine specimen of a lieutenant
you are," said a bystander. “You
ought to say you are a battered-up old

The perplexing and dangerous compli
cations that the Democratic commit
tee finds itself confronted with are the
tariff tssno and the record of the latest set
slon ot tho House, Cleveland’s nomina
tion and the developments that followed
it, the indifference that some of the lead
ing members of the party in Congress show
towards i‘a success, and General Iiut'.er,

Gorman can steer the party safely through
these rocks and shoals, he will justify
the name he has in Maryland oi being
one of the ablest poiiticiena the country
has produced.

Nobody appreciates the difficulties bet*

record of the last aeaslon ot the House.
How far it ia proper to call the attention
of Democrats to the tariff, and just where
it ought to be done, is as delicate a matter
to decide as the handling of the works of a
repeating watob. The national committee
here hat stacks and stacks of tariff speech
es. But as good Democrats made protec
tion tariff speeches as any that preached
free trade. The committee here Is con-

spoke agsinst the Morrison bill. In West
Virginia they do not want free trade
speeches. In Kentucky they do. In Ohio
there is no telling what they want; and
from Michigan all sorts of requests come.
Bo the committee is in despair. Morrison,
Frank Hard, Carlisle and Henry Watter-

the circumstances. After serving ten
years in India, he said, he recently re
turned to Great Britain and threw up
his commission. Then he thought he
would go out to Oregon, where some
relatives have a ranch, and enjoy him
self after the manner of tho English
tourist in the wild West. He arrived
in this city a cabin passenger on the
Anchoria on Tuesday last. He had
then in his possession a ticket to Port
land, Oregon, $125 in money and the
three “boxes” which constituted his
luggage. Immediately on landing he
told a cabman to dnve him to a place
he should not have visited. This was
on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday
morning at an early hour Lieutenant
Campbell found himself in the disa
greeable state ol being penniless in a
strange street of a strange city. Every
cent of his $125 was gone. He applied
to a cabman.
“My deah boy,” saidhe, “if you will

At the Anchor Line he produced the
“lAxes” but not the $5, so the cabman

lighted by high windows looking on

with a straight collar, white waistcoat,
black trousers and larbouche. His
face, of a light oily tint, is adorned with
a scanty block beard and whiskers;
the nose is strong, the lips are thick,

THE PREFECT.

the hour of two. The prefect offers me
his hand, nnd at his invitation I take a
scat by his side. Then a negro, clad
in a long white robe and «e tring on
bis head an enormous yellow turban,
brings me a little cup of coffee and a
bundle of cigarettes. As I hand back
my cap to this Imposing servitor three
Arabs, escorted by two guards, a>e led
before the prefect. These unfortunates
seem to belong to the poorest of the
people; their feet are bare, their cloth
ing is worn and ragged, their hands
tremble convulsively, their eyes are
haggard, and their laces 'twitch
in apprehension as they listen in
mournful silence to .‘.he words ad
dressed to them by the prefect. Bat
they answer his questions with fever
ish vivacity, and after the exchange of
a few words two of the prisoners arc
led from the room. Then five men en
ter. These are the torturers, and noth-
ing more fell or hang-dog than their
looks can be imagined. Four of them
seize the Arab, who is still standing be
fore the prefect, and. the poor wretch,
ns ho is cost on tho ground, throws at
him a glance eloquent with agony and
fear, but the great man’s countenance
remains fixed and impassive, and he
makes no sign of grace.

How a Woman Takes a Train!
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Why a woman is always late in tak
ing a train ia inexplicable. A ticket
agent, who lived with hia family ri;
over a depot, once observed that
wife never took the train she expected
to take. When her train arrived she
generally had on one boot and was
looking ont of the window, with one
eye on tho train and the other looking
for hersccond boot. A married man,
when ho first goes to reside in the coun
try, generally mlaaes from six to a
dozen trains in the first few months
waiting in the morning for his wife to
take the train with him to the city.
After this he paya no more attention

“The victim was then placed on one
the slabs with his chest resting on
the atone, in which position he was
held by two ol tho executioners. Two
others next raised his legs until his
feet were in a horizontal position, a po
sition in which they wero retained by
means of a cord fastened to either end
of a stick. Each man held the stick
with one hand while with tho other he
kept fast hold of ono of tiie Arab’s
legs. In tho grip of these four power
ful and expert men it was impossi
ble for him to move and almost
impossible for him to writhe. On
this tho fifth torturer, who had taken
no part in tho preliminary proceedings,
camo forward, holding in bis hand a
sort of lash consisting of five strands
of twisted got or hide. The face of
this man was singularly hideous and
repulsive—the yellow and tawny akin,
the low forehead, the ronnd eyes, fall
and fixed, the thick, black eyebrows,
the nnlteanled chin, retreating from
coarse, thick lips, the creased and fnr-
rowed checks imparted to the counte
nance of the chief executioner an air
of ferocious and bestial stupidity.
THE TOBMSNTOB.
'Tito tormentor raised his arm and
struck with the regularity of apendnlum
the upturned feet of his helpless vic
tim. At the fourth stroko the Arab
uttered a cry of pain, and at every
fresh stroke the cry was repeated. But
soon theory became a scream, tho
flagellated flesh visibly shuddered, and
the soles wero seamed with red and
livid streaks. Sitting silently on my
cushion, chewing mechanically
the tobacco of my extinguished cigar-
etto, I could not help shiverini
with horror at tho sight of somncl
suffering. I felt a* if I were under the
influence of some terrible nightmare.
Osman Bey, hia secretary, the Are exe
cutioners, with their atom and sinister
features, looking unmoved on so cvuel
a sight, aeemea for a moment rather
the creations of a disordered imagina
tion titan beings of flesh and hood; bnt
tiie heavy thud of tiie strokes and the
screams of the victim recalled we to
the sad reality which I was so reluc
tantly witnessing. Then the punish
ment ceased. and the Arab,
with ghastly face and body
shaken with a feverish trembling,
had to incline himself respectfully be
fore the man tty whose order he had
been ao craelly tormented. Helped by
a guard, forms maimed and bleeding
feet refused to support him, he was
then lead, still moaning with agony,
from tho torture chamber. The two
other Arabs were afterward punished
in like manner. It was notv past 5
o’clock, and hia excellency, putting on
hia usual pleasant smile, gave me hia
orders concerning tiie service of the
police. 1 then sainted him and hurried
away from tho place where J had seen
the practical application of a barbarous
jurisprudence.'"

The Railicaij World, in commenting
on the numerous accidents from defec
tive road-beds, says: “It is to be feared
that one of the results of recent railway
coiutraction, the subsequent reaction
and embarrassments to which a num
ber of companies have been subjected,
will be a deterioration in the condition
of the roadway and equioment of some
which will increase the danger of acci
dents. To render the best possible
set trice to the public, all important
lines should be remunerative, aa impe-
cunioaity necessitates tire postpone
ment of desirable repairs and improve
ment*, and for this reason, if for no
other, the governmental proceedings
and regulations relating to railways
should never bo incompatible witli
their prosperity.”
