Pathetic.

He stood upon the wave washed shore,
That man of giant form;
He seemed some Titan at whose beck
Would quail the angry storm.
Beside him stood maiden fair,
SO full Of quiet grace,
1t seemed the glory of the skies
Was mirrored in her face,
Then gravely turned that stately man,
With aspect full Of woe,
To where the maid, with graceful air,
Was leaning on her hoe
And while the tears rained down her cheeks
Remarked unto his daughter

~ Revolutionary War, chief physician to the
10th Regiment of Ionveds, chief surgeon to the
military hospital of Pesth, Hungary and late Lee

Oregon and Washington Territories for treatment
of every form of disease and there is not one who
will come forward and express dissatisfaction: on
the contrary the Doctor is in daily receipt Of let
ters expressive Of gratitude and thankfuness,

Ingenious.

We saw. a few days since with great
deal of wonder, at the store Of Mr.. ". T..
Cannon, couple of bottles, each of which
would hold over quart, and in one of which
was saw mill in operation, and in the other
a Touring mill, also in operation mills
were moved by a crank in the neck Of each
bottle. The bottles and machinery are in
the possession of Mr. A. II. Buckingham,
who is in the employ of Mr.. Cannon. Mr.
b. says the machinery was built within their
covering about 35 years ago by person
then resident of New York State, but now
deceased. He did it on a wager of $4,000,
which he won in less than three years, which
was the time allowed for the work 1t has
been suggested that the glass must have been
blown over the machinery; but it is also said
that such il thing would be impossible with
such kind of bottles. They are filed full
with the machinery, which is braced and
pinned and otherwise made strong. There
are cog-wheels and other wheels. The neck
of each bottle is filled with plug which is
keyed close up to the neck The mystery of
getting in the key, when there is hardly room
between the plug and the neck Of the bottle
to get III a tool as large as Il shingle nail, is
as great as any other wonder about the III
genious affair." 4E6~ Horcn PulIadium.

Suicide o. Geo. W. Green.

Most Of our readers are familiar with the
circumstances of the trial and conviction oil
this man at the December term OF the Cir
cult Court for Cook county, or Chicago, His.
for the murder Of his wife. On account Of
his wealth and the consequent position ne
occupied in life, his trial created much SEN
sa,ion. On Saturday night last the unhap-
py man added self. murder to his previous
crime by hanging hinself. Although con-
yicted of murder Mr. Green had not been
sentenced and new trial had been granted
him, but he chose to appeal TO higher
tribunal, to appear before the judge of the
qaick and the dead. From the fact OF HIM
having made second will about ten days
previously, it is presumed that the act was
one of deliberate contemplation.
