THE Ice TRADE, but a few years ago a no.
velty and experiment in the way of COM
merce is exclusively Yankee idea Ice has
become an important and staple item in COM
merce. The first cargo ever taken from the
United States, was shipped from Boston, in
1925, by Frederic Tudor, gentleman who
had previously despatched agents to the West
Indies for information touching the enter
prise.
Up ito 1892, the business was confined TO
the enterprise of this one individual. AT that
period, others embarked extensively in it, and
in 1888, Tudor extended his operations to
Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. The ship
ments of Ice from Boston in the year 1S47,
coastwise, amounted to 51,ss9 TONS making
1853 cargoes; shipped to foreign ports, %, ,59I, /,
making 95 cargoes The freight storage, and
other expenses on the whole, amounted to
$685. ISL. In the same year, 90 cargoes Of
provisions, fruits and vegetables, valued at
s72, 400 cost, were shipped in the ice from
the United States, to ports where such articles
could not otherwise be sent.
Eight Ice houses in Massachusetts, erected
purposely for the trade, are capable of con-
tanning l4i 3s2 tons. The consumption of
Ice in Boston alone, in 1887, was 27,OOO tons,
employing 66 wagons in the delivery In
Havana, Ice sells for 81 cents per pound in
Calcutta at l2k cents, in Boston at laa cents
per hundred pounds, on the average. The
entire statistics of the Ice trade are highly in
teresting, no, only as evidence of the magni-
tude it has assumed as an item of commerce,
but as showing the indefatigable enterprise
of the man-yankee. There is scarcely a nook
or corner of the civilized world where Ice has
not become an essential if not common arti-
Gle OF trade.

MORE News FROM tHE GOLD REoIoN.--

Official account of the extraordinary gold and

tary OF War, and that similar accounts from

DRoLL FUNERAL PROCESSION Ken
dali, writing from Hamburg, says LEST
some of my readers may think that the term
droll, as applied 10 funeral procession, may
appear strange, let me tell them that in Ham,
burg the friends and relatives of the dead do
not follow their remains to the grave, but in
their stead march along some twelve or six
teen hired moumers, with curled and pow
dered wings upon their heads, short cloaks
upon their shoulders, and swords at their
sides, while the very quaintness of their CO.'S
tunes, and species of mock gravity upon
the conntenance of those whose trade it is to
mourn for pay, combine to give any thing but
that solemnity to scene which the stranger
meets in other lands.

A GENTLE HINT.-A country parson who
was not over promptly paid by his parishion-
ers, on entering the church one Sabbath
morning, met one of the most wealthy of his
flock, and asked him the loan of dollar,
"Certainly," said the man, at the same
time handing over the coin.
Dominic put it into his pocket and pre-, ched
his sermon in capital style, and on coming
down, handed the identical dollar TO the man
from whom he borrowed it.
"Why," exclaimed the lender, ''you have
not used the money at ALL"
at has been of great service 10 me, never
theless," replied the parson. ~ always
preach so much better when have money
in my pocket"
The hint was taken, and the balance of his
salary was got together the following after
noon.
Just use an editor that way, and see how
wonderfully his paper will improve No
editor can make an interesting paper unless
he have cheerful disposition, and there is
no such thing as keeping an editor cheerful
unless his subscribers pay up well. A sub
scriber who owes for his paper has no right
to grumble about its being uniEteresting. So
says the Elmira Republican, and SO say we.

SONG OF STEAM,

[TnE following fine poem, by GroRex w.
UTTER, of Covington, KY, Blackwood has pro
nounced "tho best lyric of the century,"
Harness me down with your iron bands,
Be sure your curb and rein,
For scorn the strength Of your puny hands,
AS the tempest scorns chain;
How laughed as lay concealed from sight,
For many countless hour
AT the childish boast Of human might,
And the pride Of human power!
When saw an army upon tho land,
A navy upon the seas.
Creeping along, snail-like band
Or waiting wayward breeze;
When marked the peasant family reel
With the toll which he family bore
As he turned at the tardy Wheel
Or tugged at the weary oar:-
When measured the painting courser's speed.
The flight of the carrier dove,
AS they bore a law king decreed,
Or the lines of inpatient love;
could not but think how the world would feel,
AS these were outs.npped aiar,
When should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained to the flying car!
Ha ha ha! They found me at last;
They invited me forth at length;
Ard rushed TO my throne with thunder blast
And laughed in my iron strength.
Oh! then We saw a wondrous change
On the earth and ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or tide
Hnrrah hurrah! the waters ocr
The mountains steep decline;
Time--space have yielded to my power
The world-the world is mine!
The giant streams of the queenly West,
And Tho Orient floods divine.
The ocean paes where'er I sweep
To hear my strength rejoice, ,
And tho monsters of the brny deep
Cover trembling at my voice,
carry the wealth and the lord of earth
The thoughts Of the god like mind;
The wind lags after going forth,
The lightning is left behind
In the darksomc depths of the Gthomless min6
My tireless arm doth play,
Where the rocks ne'er saw the suns decline,
Or the dawn of the glorious day.
| bring earth's glitlering jewels up
From the hidden caves below,
And make the fountains granite cup
With crystal gush o'erflow!
Iblow the bellows, forge the steel,
In all the shops of trade;
! hammer the ore, and turn the Wheel
Where my arms of strength are made.

And all my doings put in print,
On every Saturday eve.
I've no muscle to weary, no breast to decay,
No bones to be "aid on the shelf"
And soon intend you may "go and play,
While manage the world myself
But harness pe down with your iron bands,
Be sure of your curb and rein;
For scom the strength Of your puny hands.
As the tempest scorns chain!

n sympathy with the supposed captive, |
must have heart dead to every human fee
ng."
Stay, jailor, stay and hear my woe!
She is not mad who knccls to thee,
For what Pm now, too well know,
And what was, and what should be.
I'll rave no more in proud despair,
My language shall be mild, though sad;
But yet I'll firmly, truly swear,
am not mad am not mad!
My tryant husband forged the tale,
Which chains me in this dismal cell,
My fate unknown my friends bewail-
Oh jailor haste that fate to tell!
Oh haste my fathers heart to cheer!
His heart at once twill grieve and glad
10 know, though kept captive here,
am not mad am net mad!
He smiles in scorn, and turned the key!
He quits the gate! I knelt in vain!
His gimm'ring lamp, still, still see
'Tis gone-and all is gloom again.
Cold, bitter cold--no warmth, no light!
Life all thy comforts once had
Yet here I'm chained this freezing night,
Although not mad no, no, not mad!
It's sure some dream some vision vain!
What l the child of rank and wealth
And | the wretch who clanks this chain,
Bereft of freedom, friends and health!
All! while dwell on blessings fled,
Which never more my heart must glad,
How aches my heart, how burns my head
But It's not mad no, It's not mad!
Hast thou my child, forget ere this,
A mothers face, mothers tongue!
She'll ne'er forget your parting kiss,
Nor round her neck how fast you clung;
Nor how with me you sued to stay;
Nor how that suit your sire forbade
NoI how'll drive such thoughts away
They'll make me mad-they'll make me
mad!
His rosy lips how sweet they smiled
Hismild blue eyes, how bright they shone-.
None ever bore loveier child
And art thou now forever gone!
And must | never see thee more,
My pretty, pretty little lad
| will be free-unbar the door
am not mad-I am not mad!
Oh, hark what means those dreadful cries !
His chain some furious mailman breaks
He comes--I see his glaring eyes
Now, now, my dungeon CRATES he shakes
Help-help-he' gone-oh-fearful woe,
Such screams to hear, such sights to see
My brain, my brain-I know, know
am not mad-but soon shall be.
Yes, soon-for 10, you-while speak
Mark how yon demons eye balls glare
He sees mellow with dreadful shrek,
He whirls a serpent high in air.
