MAKJORY WAY,
Marjory May came tripping from town.
Fresh as a pink in her trim white gown,
A picture was Maijory. slim and fair.
With her large sun-hat and her sunlit hair;
And down the green lane where 1 chanced to
stray
I met, by accident, Marjory May.
Marjory May had come out for a stroll,
Past the gray church and round i»y the lull.
Perhaps by the wood and the wishing-stune,
There was sweet Maijory tripping aloue.
“May I come, too? now don’t say nay.”
“Just as you please,” laughed Marjory May.
So it fe’l out that we went on alone.
Round by the wood and the wishing«*tone;
And there I whispered the wish of my life—
Wished that sweet Marjory May were my
wife,
“For Move you so dear. Is it aye or nay?
Come, answer me quickly, sweet M. rjory
May!”
Marjory stood: not a word did she speak.
Only ttio red blood flushed in her cheek;
Then she looked up with a grave, sweet smilo
(The flush dying out of her fare the while),
••I like you so much, hut not in that way.
And there is John,” said Marjory Mny.
Years have rolled ou since that.fair summer’s
day,
.Still I’m a bachelor, old and grav.
Whenever 1 take my lonely stroll
Round by the uood, and b tek by the toll.
1 pa-s by the house where her children iday,
For John h:«s married sweet Sl.trjory May.

Slduey Lanier’* Flute.
Observer.
“It was at Point Lookout, twenty
years ago, that I made the acquaint
ance of Sidney Lanier. We were in
the Confederate service, and lioth,
though running at different times, had
been captured at sea by a blockade boat.
I was the first to encounter my fate,
and had been already some weeks a
prisoner when he was brought in.
“It was a Hying time, the midsum
mer season, and the ‘long yellow days,’
as one poor fellow termed them, made
the hospitals full and death rates ap
palling. Late one evening I heard from
our tent the dear, sweet notes of ,i
flute in the distance, and I was told
that the player was a young man from
Georgia, who had just come among us.
I forthwith hastened to find him out,
uud from that hour the flute of Sidney
Lanier was our daily delight. It was
an angel imprisoned with us to cheer
and console us.
“Well I remember his improvisa
tions, and how the young artist stood
there in the twilight (it was his custom
to stand while he played) breathing
what seems to me now the first dream -
of his wonderful ‘Marsh Hymns.’
Many a stern eye moistened to hear
. him, many a home-sicK heart for a
time forgot its captivity. The night
sky, clear as a dew drop above us, the
waters of the Chesapeake far to the
East, the long gray beach and the dis
tant pities, seemed all to have found an
interpreter in him.
“His heart found neighbors in great bills and
trees.
And streams and clouds and suns am* birds and
bees,
And throbbed with neighbor-loves in loving
thee.”
“His music embodies the charm of
his verse, the same deep, wave-like,
passionate swell of the long lull line.

imprisonment, under .the keenest priva
tion of life, exposed to the daily mani
festations of want and depravity, sick
ness and deatli, his was the clear-
hearted, hopeful voice that sung what
lie uttered in after years:
•* ‘Sweet frieuds,
Man’s love ascends
To finer and diviner ends.
That man’s mere thoughts ee’r comprehends.”
“We lived as fellow prisoners for
more than six months, aiul at the end
of that time were exchanged together.
Tfle boat that brought its to Aiken’s
Landing was delayed for some time be
fore reaching the wharf. While we
were very impatiently waiting a steam
er from Richmond came alongside and
some one called out to a man ou our
deck to inquire if Sidney Lanier was
on l>6ard. The flute had* betrayed its
dear master again; but this time it told
of a captive’s release, and iu ver were
tidings more joy full}' hailed.”

“How vos dot?” asked the German

“You must get some one to identify

“Ah, ja!’’ cried Hans, much re

The peach growing centre is grad

largest peach farms are in Maryland.
The round Top farm has 125,000 peach
trees. On the estate of Col. Watkins
there are 120,000 trees. A peach tree’s

years of life and the soil in which it

to be held by the Indians. They

With whicb exordium Mr. Spoop-

“Did, did ye!*’howled Mr. Spoop-

Photographing In Colors.
New YoikSun.
“How soon can I have my photo
graphs?” asked a lady who had gazed
for the fraction of a second at the
camera in an establishment in Fif
teenth street.
“In six days, with all colors.”
“She will get them in as short a
time as she wonld an ordinary photo
graph, and they will show the colors
in the fabrics of her dress and her
complexion. The process ia qnick
and simple,” said the operator.
“Do you take colors with the cam
era ?’’
“No. The preliminary process is
tlte same as in photography. We take
the ot’Dinary photographic negative
by instantaneous photography. The
patent lies in the manner of produc
ing the colors after the negative h is
beeo obtained. Tite paper ou which
the photograph ia printed is covered
with alight wash of colors according
to the notes taken by the operator at
the sitting. No skill is required to
apply the wash. This is sensitized
by a process protected by a patent
When we print from the negative on
this paper the colors take up all the
lights and shades, and the result is a
perfect colored photograph. The
process was iuvented ny Bonnaud, a
Frenchman, and tile photograph is
called a Bonnaudtype.”
“Do yon confine yourself to por
traits ?”
“Ob, no. We take photographs of
houses, paintings, subjects for adver
tising, and samples. Here is a set of
brierwood pipes and a set of lamp
eludes. Now the drummers for the
firms manufacturing these, instead of
taking the pipes and the lamp shades
with them in their travels through
the country, can take photograph'',
or the manufacturers can mail the
photographs directly to the retailers.
This sample photograph is a Urge

anil clearing the channel of the Alta-
mahn river informs the Revs that he
has been at work for the past ten days
At Town Bluff, drilling and blasting
tbe rock ledge t that point. Mr. Bur
nett says that the delay in commencing
this contract is owing to his not being
able to get men experienced in hand
ling dynamite, the colored laborers re
fusing to have anything to do with that
dangerous compound, and other labor
ers were afraid to work in the river for
fear of malarial fevers. The contrac
tor had to give the matter his personal
attention and familiarize his force with
the work, and also wait for the close of
the hot season. The season is now fa
vorable to push the work, and Mr. Bur
nett expects to keep at it until his con
tract is done. Those who are acquaint

his energy and goaheadativeness on the

tract for their river improvements is in
good hands.
Philadelphia, September 19.—
Junius Bruins Booth, the actor and
theatrical manager, died at his home
in Manchester-by-the-Sea at ten min
utes after 11 o’clock to-night For
over a week hi* life has been de
spaired of, and for some days he has
been wailed upon by his wife, Agnes
Booth, hi*; brothers Edwin and
Joseph, and some other members of
Ihe family. Edwin, the tragedian,
left yesterday morning to fill an en-
«ragemeut with the roll understand
ing that he would never see his
brother alive again. Mr. Booth has
been in a comatose condition since
Tuesday, and has had no nourish
ment sicce that time save a spoonful
of stimulant Friday. He died with
out piin. His last public appear
ance was iu Birtley Campbell’s
“Ga ley Slave*' about two years
a*£o. Two of his sons arc buried in
Manchester, and hi» great wish of
lying by their ride is gratified.
He was the olderif m>ii of the great
tragedian by r his first wife. He was
born at Charleston, South Carolina,
in 1821. and spent the early part of
his life on the old Booth farm in
Hartford county, Marylaud. -He was
a studious boy and a great favorite
with his father, who hoped to seethe
lad develop a fondness for law or
medicine. Youtig Junius, however,
soon showed his partiality for the
stage. In his fourteenth year be
certainly no marked increase in incen- 1 WHS one °! J® 11 -* managers of “the
diarlsm. And. finallv. there have Great Olympim circus; admission,
such losses must necessarily compel
the underwriters to increase their
rates and levy an additional tax ou
every property bolder.
The extraordinary increase that
has lately occurred in fires, there
fore, demands serious attention.
Why is it? Wo build our houses as
carefully and as safe against fire as
years ago, probably safer, for iron aud
brick buildings arc every day taking
the place of wooden ones; we have
large, expensive, complete and very
efficient fi»e departments,and there is
diarisiti. And, finally, there have
been no large fires lately to swell our
losses, and yet these losses amount
already this year up to Sept. 1, to
$62,500 OOU—a fifth «f the cotton crop.
A glance over ihe origin of the
fires that have occurred during the
past year will probably explain the
nutter. There has been a wonderful
increase in the fires due ’o careless
ness and neglect. There seems to be a
very general misunderstanding on
the part of persons insured of their
responsibilities to the underwriters
and general public. They seein to
feel, that alter tb*y have paid their
premiums, the insurance company
takes absolute aud complete control
of their property and narcos to guard
it against all danger from tire; they
are freed from all responsibility ; and
all they have to do as to collect the
insurance when their properly lia>*
been destroyed.
Sacb a selfish policy should not be
encyuruged, at.d those who believe
in this idea should be taught that
legally they are responsible for
losses from neglect and carelessness
They should take same precautions
as if they had 110 policy at all upon
their property—ami yet few do this.
If the present feeling of iirespousi-
bility continues, if the people who
insure their property continue to
believe that the company, not they,
must see to its safety, the present
condition of affairs will continue—
heavy losses from fire, necessarily
followed by an iucrease in insurance
rates. These careless people will,
therefore, have to pay a tax lor their
own carelessness. if they do not
altogether lose their insurance by
gross r.eglec* »f the most necessary
precautions against fire.

town type writer office. “You may
well be interested,” remarked my
friend, lighting a fresh ciga ette.
“She is a grand-daughter of Louis D.
Henry, tor many years n Commis
sioner of -panisli Affiirs in Washing
ton. Her father,Gen.D.K. McRae,was
once a candidate fertile governorship
of North Carolina, and during Presi
dent Buchanan’s administration was
Consul-General in Paris. He Also
brought to this coun’ry the cele
brated Ostend dispatches. With
wealth and a cultivated, generous
mind he determined to give his
daughter a finished education, aud
accordingly tutors were provided her
during his family residence in Italy
and France.
The child was undoubtedly preco
cious, if not remarkable, for one day
when she was visiting the Vatican
Pope Pius was so attracted by her
ways vthat he gave her his blessing
and a pontifical smile. Notwith
standing the good will of the Holy
father, misfortunes oiime. Her fami
ly’s entire estate was swept away,
and two years ago she detei mined to
start for himself. Coming to New
York she rented a little office and
began her metropolitan career with
one little type-writer. It is a perilous
task for an inexperienced woman to
attempt to earn a living in a great
city l»ke New York, but success at
tended the industry of Mi<s McRae.
Lawye s, judges and other friends of
her father showed their admiration
for the pluck of the Southern girl by
giving her assistance and reference,
aud work came in so rapidly that she
soon had a dozen matliines iu a large,
airy office, upholstered with Parisian
fabrics, where to-d.iv she does the
largest type-writing business in the
city, and has been appointed princi
pal agent for the sale of machines.
Judge Dillon told me the other day
that her work gave satisfaction in his
office, aud he congratulated the ex-
Cousul-General to Paris in haviog
so practical and accomplished a
daughter. Pei haps, after all, it is
by industry that the Pope’s blessing
is to be secured.’’
TbeOrleln of tbe Postal Card.
Jersey City Tauter.
“But few people know,” said the
Hon. George A. Halsey, of Newark,
the other day, “how the postal card—
by which half of the business of this
country is carried on—came to be a
national institution. You remember
little Fred Lundy, of Morristown—the
newspaper writer, and at one time
editor and owner of one of the Morris
town papers? During one of his sum
mer vacations he went up to Montreal,
Quebec, and other places of interest
In Canada. The penny post was, in
the dominion, a feature of the govern
ment postal service. When he came
back he came to me with % Canadian
postal card In his hand.
‘“What do you think of that?’ he
asked as he showed it to me. ‘That
would be a grand thing for this coun
try.’
“I agreed with him. A few days
later John Hill came to me with the
same card.
“ ‘I know where you got that,’ I said
to Hill.
‘ ‘Where?’ he asked.
“From Fred Lundy,’ I said. Mr.
Hill admitted it. He said he was going
to bring it out in this country. He
drew, or had drawn, a bill incorporat
ing it in the Federal postal sendee.
The bill became a law, and so the pos
tal card was in trod need here.”

A Reputation Slade by “Does It."
Waterbary American.
There is a story at his own expense
which the late Prof. Moses Stuart
Phelps used to tell with great glee.
In the days when he was a graduate
6tudent at New Haven he took a walk
one morning with Prof. Newt'jn, a
man who lives iu tbe world of mathe
matics, and simply exists in the com
mon world of ordinary things. Prof.
Newton, as is his habit, started of)
on the discussion of an abstruse
problem. As the Professor went
deeper and deeper, Mr. Phelps’ mind
wandered farther and further from
what was being said. At last Mr.
Phelps’attention was call back to his
companion by the Professor’s wind
ing up with, “Which, you see, gives
us ‘x.’ “Does it?’’ asked Mr. Phelps,
thinking that in politeness he ought
to reply something. “Why, doesn’t
it?*’ excitedly exclaimed the Profes
sor, alarmed at the possibility that a
flaw had been detected in his calcu
lations. Quickly his mind ran back
over the work. There had indeed
been a mi-take. “Yon are right, Mr.
Phelps, you are right,” shouted the
Professor, “it doesn’t give us *x,* it
gives us ‘y,*’’ and from that hour
Prof. Newton looked upon Mr.
Phelps as a mathematical prodigy.
He was the first man who had ever
caught the Professor tripping. “And
so,” Mr. Phelps used to add, with his
own peculiar smile, in telling the
story, “l achieved a reputation for
knowing a thing I hate. It’s the way
many' reputations are made iti this
superficial way.^

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.
How the Business Becomes Re*
chanlcal—A Curious Incident.
Boston Globe.
“I tuppose,” said the reporter,
“you operators must hare some funny
experiences.”
“Yes, there arc some droll things
every once in a while, but we get so
used to them that we don’t mind
anything about them. I suppose you
have heard that story about the
countryman who saw an operator
working an old Morse paper instru
ment aud called his girl op to sec
‘this fellow making paper collars?”’
“How do you manage to keep your
ear on one instrument when there are
twenty or thirty going in .the same
room ?”
“There is no difficulty in that,” was
the reply. “It is as easy as it is for
you to keep the run of a friend's con
versation when there are other' per
sons talking in a room.’’
“But no two voices are alike,’’
hinted the reporter dubiously.
“No two instruments sound alike
to an operator, and there is no more
difficulty in distinguishing the click
of your instrument in a roomful than
iu distinguishing the familiar tones
of a brother’s voice.”
“Can you tell who is.snnding tthe
other end?”
“We can easily detect a friendly
hand, although I don’t know as 1
could make you understand how.”
“Do you hear anything that goes
over the wires.”
“We could if we cared to, but that
gets to be a very old story. We only
listen lor our own, which is repeated
tilt we answer, and then the message
is scut.”
“I suppose you have had some Bad
experience when you receive mes
sages of death or sickness.’’
“Well, hardly. If we were affect
ed by such things we should be in a
perpetual state of grief. You don’t
notice them at all. Why, once I re
ceived a message addressed to me
saving that I had become a father,
but 1 had become so used to such
things—I mean to receiving such
messages—that I never noticed to
whom it was addressed, and sent it
down to the counting room with a
bundle of other dispatches I bad re
ceived at the same time.”
“Speaking of carious experiences,’’
chimed in another operator who had
been listening to the conversation—
“speaking of carious experiences, I
remember when I was working
nights at a little station on the Chica
go, Burlington & Quincy road-
About 1 o’clock one cold, sleety morn,
ing the circuit wus broken uff for a
little while when I heard the word
H-e-l-p come over the line several
times. This was repeated at inter
vals for some minutes. I was decid
edly frightened, but nothing could
be done till daylight. After tbe
break had been located, mea were
sent along tbo line to repair the wire,
and as soon as the instrument began
to work we received word. that
Charley Adams, the day operator,
had been found there dead, with
both his legs cut off. We afterward
learned that Charley had been to a
dance in a neighboring town, and
had fallen, unseen, from the freight
train as it crossed the bridge, and
had been ran over. With his little
remaining strength he had crawled
to the edge of the bridge and broke
the wire. He telegraphed the word
“help” by touching the ends of the
wire together.”
Tbe Ommtih Tote for iUcnlellan.
Judge Black used to tel) a story
about getting out the vote, which
was a trifle on' the “big snake”order.
They have three or four townships
in Holmes peopled with a certain
religious class called Ommishs, who
are very superstitious. When Mc
Clellan was pitted against Lincoln
those innocent people thought the
time bad come for them to change
their votes to the cause of liberty.
Various plana were considered at
Millersburg for overcoming their
scrnples. At last one was hit upon
and carried oat in this manner. A
bushel of eggs were bought, greased
in lard, then written upon with a
stick, and finally dipped iu viuegar.
By this process the writing came oat
in strong relief. Two nights before
the election messengers were sent
out who deposited these eggs in the
henneries and neats all over the Om-
mish community. Next morning, as
the judge used to relate it, a matron
who wanted an egg for baking pur
poses slipped out to her hennery
and was astonished to find one bear
ing the magic inscription, ‘The Lord
wants you to vote the Democratic
ticket.” While she was wrestling
over 'Ilis announcement from “the
other world’’ a neighbor came in
bearing another similar egg. They
reached for the farm bell and called
in the men people, other eggs were
found, aud by noon meetings were
called in the churches. As the judge
told it, the Ommish vote gave Mc-
Ciellan a handsome vote.
Tbe American Woman at Beatan-
rants.
New Yo Sc San.
The numerous foreigners now vis
iting this country express the great
est astonishment st seeing so many
rich ladies at public eatiog places.
In Europe it is only iho foreign lady
tourist, the fast woman, and, on Sun
day, the little bourgeoise who are to
be seen ill public restaurants. The
native grande dame of any European
country could no more be seen in
such a place than she could be seen
walking in the street arm in arm with
any man who is not a member of her
family, ' Some of them might for a
lark organize once in a great while
an escapade dinner parly in the pri
vate dining room of a fashionable re
sort of that .kind. But there is no
exaggeration in saying that there are
in England, Spain. France, Italy, and
even Russia many and many a' lady
of mature age who has never been in
side a restaurant of her own country,
though she may have visited restau
rants when traveling abroad. These
foreign observers, however, agree
that nowhere are places of this kind
so spacious and-so sirict in their man
agement as here. They say .that til-
boarding bouse, Ihe hotel, and the
restaurant are the cradles of the
American ladies. But they confess,
loo, that the fact of the permanent
presence of ladies has made these
places infinitely purer than they are
abroad.

Heart, Dots before the eyes, highly col
ored Urine, CONSTIPATION, and de

PIULS hare no equal. Their action on the
Kidneys and Skin Is also prompt; removing

skin and a vigorous bodj*. TUTT’S PILLS

with dally work and are a perfect
ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA.

tion, two years, and have tried ten different
kinds of pills, and TUTT’S are the first
that have done me any good. They have
cleaned me ont nicely. My appetite is
splendid, food digests readily, and I now
have natural passages. I feel like a new
man.” W. D. EDWARDS, Palmyra, O.
