L- THE BLOSSOMS OF THE SEA*
” W , '"‘ [Samuel Minturn Peck.) .W
Where ocean crags are lifting
Their rugged heads on high,
Where silver sands are shifting
Beneath the Summer sky,
Upon the emerald billows, like daisies on
the lea,
Behold the laughing bubbles—the blossoms
of the sea.
D richer than the roses,
By lissome Angers tied,
0 purer than the posies
That crown the happy bride,
No mortal hand may cull them; they were
not born to bo
The toys of idle beauty—the blossoms of the
sea.
No Arctic cold can chill them
However keen it blow,
No tropic heat can kill them,
However Herce it glow;
Their luster never withers; with garlands
glad and free,
They gird the world with beauty—the bios
soms of the sea.
When hostile flags are flinging
Their scorn from sail to sail,
And shot and shell are winging
With death upon the gale
When gallant eyes grow brighter and cow
ards fain would flee
They flash in fearless millions—the blossoms
of the sea.
And when the battle’s ended
That stormed along the waves,
And solemn skies are splendid
Above the ocean graves,
How eetie is their shining that laughed but
now in glee.
How sorrowful their sobbing—the blossoms
of the sea.
FIRES IN “SKY-SCRAPERS.”
The "Fire-Extinguisher” the I.ast Thing
Thought of —“Fire Proof” Buildings.
[Chicago Times.]
There is some sort of apparatus designed
for extinguishing incipient fires in almost
every high building in this city, but the
chances are that there is not a person in the
building that understands how to use it in
case of need. The directions for use in a
fire may be plain and comprehensive, and
Jhey may afford all the information needed.
Perhaps some person stopping in the build
ing read them as a matter of curiosity when
She apparatus was first put in. If such was
the case, the prospect is that he forgot all
that he ever knew about them in a few days.
He never experimented with the new
fangled fire extinguisher to ascertain “how
the old thing worked,” and would probably
be afraid to use it for fear of injuring his
person or clothes.
The first thing that a woman is likely to
do when a fire breaks out in a building is to
scream. Tlie first thing the man is likely to
do is to try and save his valuable papers.
The next thing both of them will then do is
to make their escape. The last thing any
one thinks of is the fire-extinguisher. He
does not think of that till he is but of the
building and the flames cut off the way into
it again.
Nearly all the very high buildings now
erected in large cities are represented as fire
proof. Perhaps it was the intention of the
builders to ha ve them such. The walls are
made of brick or stone, iron is employed in
stead of wood to form most; of the supports,
and the partition walls are composed of sub
stances that will not burn.
Still, the ordinary “fire-prcof” building
contains a very largo amount of wood. The
.floors, door-casings, doors, and furnishings
are all wood. The rooms are filled with
furniture of different kinds, all of which is
made of wood. Tae quantity of books and
papers in an ordinary city dwelling or of
fice building is sufficient to supply materials
for a fire that would endange the lives of
the inmates. They will produce flames that
will cause a panic, and make smoke that
will be likely to blind or suffocate tbo e who
attempt to escape. The people of Chicago
have learned to their sorrow how little re
liance can be placed in the claims of “five-’
proof" buildings.
Gen. Custer's Introduction to Dakota.
[Globe-Democrat Book Review.]
The introduction to Dakota when the
Seventh calvary arrived there, under Cus
ter’s command, in April, 1873, and pitched
its tents near Yankton, was a specially for
bidding one. It was a cold afternoon, the
wind was blowing keenly, the sky had omin
ous streaks in it, and at night a blizzard
came on. The soldiers were ordered into
town with their horses, only a camp-guard
being left behind; and the general and his
wife remained near by in a chance cabin on
the open prairie. The storm raged for
thirty-six hours as only a storm can rage in
Dakota, where there are “eight months of
winter and four of very late in the fall,”
and no communication could be had with
the town, only a mile away.
The snow came down in groat swirling
sheets, and drifted against the cabin in such
. away as almost to cover it. Soldiers who
bad lost their way came and had to
be let in, bewildered and nearly
frozen to death, and to their
groans of pain was added, on the outside,
above the blizzard’s roaring, the braying of
terrified mules, the neighing of horses in dis
tress, and now and then the howling of a
lost dog. “The door was pried open once,”
Mrs. Custer says, “thinking we heard the
cry of a fellow-creature, and the strange,
wild eyes of a horse, peering in for help,
haunted me long afterwards.”
Relief came at length, but not until after
several futile attempts bad been made to
get through the intervening snow, in which
the men floundered and sank almost out of
sight, even in the streets of the town.
Fortunately, no lives were lost, though the
soldiers left in the camp suffered severely.
“After that,” Mrs. Custer observes, “we un
derstood why the frontiersman builds his
stable near the house; we also comprehended
them when they told us that they did not
dare to cross In a blizzard from the house to
the stable-door without keeping hold of a
rope tied fast to the latch as a guide for
their safe return when the stock was fed. ”
Grape Juice for Communion.
The grape crop of A. Speer’s vineyard
last year was double that of any previous
year. His vineyards near Passaic have so
increased that he is able to keep a stock five
to six years ahead. They have become pop
ular wines among the best physicians in
New York, and largely used for Communion
purposes and for weak and aged persons.

GEN. JOE JOHNSTON.
His Peculiar Powers of Observation and
Other Characteristics.
[Cor. St. Louis Republican.)
Here are a few anecdotes of Gen. Joe
Johnston, illustrative of his peculiar powers
of observation and other characteristics of
mind which have not appeared in print:
After assuming command of the army of
the Tennessee, at Dalton, a grand review
was ordered, and Gen. Johnston, superbly
mounted on a magnificent thoroughbred
bay, came sweeping down our line, followed
by the usual cavalcade of general and staff
officers. He would halt a moment in front
of the colors of each regiment, face to the
line and raise his cap with martial grace
never excelled, In passing our regiment
his quick eye caught the gallant bearing of
our boy colonel, John E. Murray, then
about 21 years of age, who had been a
cadet at West Point for two years, and was
notably distinguished for what the boys
called a “gallus salute.” After the parade
Gen. Johnston sought our brigadier, Govan,
and inquired the name of his young colonel
of the “grand martial salute;” and after
hearing of his proud achievements as the
the boy hero of the brigade, he invited him
to his headquarters and entertained him for
a week. The colonel used to say that “he
picked up more solid chunks of wisdom
that week than he had overdone in his life be
fore.” The brilliant career of this gallant boy
closed with the campaign in the last battle
around Atlanta, where he “foremost fight
ing fell” with a bullet-hole through his
commission of brigadier general in his
breast-pocket.
During this Georgia campaign Geni.
Jackson would often inspect the hastily
constructed line of rifle-pits, and in riding
down the line at full speed he would some
times halt suddenly and beckon an officer of
his staff, and with a few rapid motions of
his hand order an angle reversed or the line
advanced or retired in conformity with the
contour of the ground in front; and on one
of these occasions the writer, who was
lounging on the ground with his comrades
some thirty paces in the rear, made a wager
that he could attract the general's attention
by a salute. Upon arising and facing
toward the general as he rushed by, looking
in the opposite direction, the writer
modestly raised his “coonskins.” When the
general’s white hat shot up in the air in
graceful recognition, the boys all remarked
that the “old man could see as well in the
rear as he could in front.”
In passing through Jackson, Miss., to take
command of the army, a large crowd of
citizens and furloughed soldiers insisted on
his presenting himself on the platform of the
car and making them a speech. He said:
“If all the able-bodied men I see before m
were in line at the front there would be no
occasion for a retreat of the army.”
When he was relieved of command at At
lanta his soldiers literally shed tears of hope
less sorrow, and when Gen. Hood’s plan
of swinging around to Gan. Sherman’s rear
was fully detailed to him by a staff officer
and his opinion asked as to the wisdom of
the plan, he replied with sadness in the pro
phetic words, “Too brilliant.”
In social conversation with his staff, one
of them asked him how many times he had
been wounjei, “Eight times.” The staff re
marked that he was the most unfortunate
general in this respect he had ever known.
“No, sir,” said he, “the most fortunate;
for it was only by the mercy of God I was
not killed upon either occasion.”
What Nevada Says of Audiences.
[Chicago Journal Interview.]
“Well, it is hard to compare the demon
stration of plaasure and applause by differ
ent audiences, in different parts of the world.
But I have received very warm receptions
in other places also, I assure you. For in
stance, the first night I sang in New York I
was called in front of the curtain seven times
after the first act. They are much more
demonstrative in Italy than they are in this
country, even. Why, at the close of the
performance in Florence, the night
I sang “Somnambula,” I was called
out thirty times, and finally quelled
the disturbance by throwing kisses
at the audience. At another theatre there,
soon afterward, I was called out so many,
many times that I couldn’t count them, and
I asked the gentlemen what it all meant
They told me that the audienoe would keep
calling me out until the next day unless I
threw them kisses as I did at the other the
atre. So I went out again and threw kisses
to them, and, sure enough, after many ex
pressions of satisfaction, they let me rest In
Florence the interest in my singing was such
that the shops closed at 6 o’clock to enable
their employes to hear me.”
“Do the audience make remarks to the
actors in Italy?”
“Yes, they talk right out. Everybody
there is acquainted with every note in the
opera you are singing, and they do not tol
erate alterations unless made with supreme
good taste. If a prima donna make a
change in her part that is admissable and
agreeable, they cry out, “Well done, well
donel” But if, on the other hand, she takes
an unwarrantable liberty with the music,
some one in the audience inquires aloud,
“What did you do that for!” They meet
out evenhanded justice to her all the way
through. They may condemn her all the
way through until the last sentence, and if
there is anything in that worthy of applause
they scrupulously give it. “
Cutting Things Under Water.
[Scientific American.]
When science was in its infancy, much of
its fact was mixed with nonsense, and some
of the nonsense shows a wonderful vitality.
A case in point is the recent republication of
a nonsense bit that was current at least
forty years ago. It is a recipe for cutting
glass with shears or scissors. The statement
is that sheet glass can be cut with the great
est ease with a pair of scissors if the glass is
kept under water and kept in a level posi
tion. That there is not a word of truth in it
any one may easily prove on a trial, with
the result of dulling a pair of shears.
There is one cutting process that can be
better done under water than out of water;
that is, the paring of onions. When pared
under water the acrid emanations, so un
pleasant to the mucous membrane of eyes
and nose, are dissolved or held in the water.
But neither the quality of glass nor the
power of scissors is changed by immersion
in water.
Putting on “Dutch Locks.”
[Portland (Me.) Argus.
The police are now putting the “Dutch
locks” bn the door of every rum shop they
enter to make a seizure, and find no person
there who appears to be running the place.
After turning the men outside, the police nail
a cleat on the floor, another on the inner
side of the door; then placing a plank,
sawed to the right length, against the cleat
on the floor, pass out, closing the door,
which is firmly fastened by the planks
within. The police then notify the owner of
the building in which the rum shop is situa
ted that he has a vacant rent. This is called
putting on the “Dutch locks.”

DEAF AND BLIND.
How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallaoe resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tasle any
thing except s*lt. Her bones became the seat
ot intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change.
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, soresail
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter.
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that acted so powerfully on my
d isease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. eliected a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case.
