A London correspondent mentions
that a discovery has been made in
France, which viii probably revolu-
tionize the paper business. Excellent
paper is manufactured from the wood
of the oak,walnut, pine, chestnut, and
various vegetables, without any addi-
ton of rags. A reduction in price of
from so to 80 per cent. is predicted.
Samples were exhibited and attracted
general attention.

AN INCIDENT. Yesterday a lady en-
tered a State street car, and seating
herself, spread hervoluminous crinoline
over a wide eXpanse on both sides Of
her. When the conductor came to
collect fare, she gave him twenty cents,
quietly remarking that she occupied
four seats. The Conductor started at
her as if he thoughtthat she was crazy,
but she looked so discreet that he left
her in peace---Wishing in his heart that
all ladies were as sensible.---Chicago

Home after Working Hours.

The road along which the man of
business travels in pursuit of compe-
tence or wealth is not macadamized,
nor does it often lead through pleasant
scenes and wellsprings Of delight.
On the contrary it is a rough and rug
ged path beset with " wait-a-bit"
thorns, and full of pitfalls which can
only be avoided by the exercise of a
watehful care and circumspectiOn.
After each days journey over this
worse than corduroy turnpike, the
Wayfarer needs something more than
rest---requires solace and deserves it.
he is weary of the dull prose of life,
athirst for the poetry. Happy is the
man that can find that solace and
poetry at home. Warm greeting from
the loving heart, fond glanees from
bright eyes that
Mark our coming
And look brighter when we come"
the welcome shouts of children, the
thousand little arrangements for our
comfort and enjoyment that silently
tell of thoughtful and expectant love;
the gentle ministrations that olsen
cumber us into an old easy seat before
we are aware of it. These and like
tokens of affection and sympathy con-
stitute the poetry which recOnciles us
to the prose of life. Think of this ye
wives and daughters of business men.

Mothers THOUGHTS.


I'VE think our readers will thank US for
giving to them the following beautiful poem
from the pen Of Mrs Francis D. Gage1
--.-- -- .-fa 10 ..
Silent and lone, silent and lone!
Where, tell me where, are my little ones gone
That used to be playing about my knee,
With their noisy mirth and bOisterous glee ?
Who Uttered the carpets and misplaced the
chairs, ~
And scattered their playfhihgs all unawares
Who called for their suppers with eager shout
And while they were getting, ran in and out )
Who kept all the apples and nuts from spoil
ing,
And never saved jackets nor pants from soil
ing;
Had ever a want and ever a will
That added a care to my heart, until
I sometimes sighed for the time to come,
When they'd all be big and go out from home
Silent and lone, silent and lone
Where, tell me- where, are my little ones
gone?
There's no little faces to wash tonight,
No little troubles for mother to right,
No little blue eyes to be sung to sleep,
No little playthings to put up to keep,
No little garments to be hung on the rack,
No-little tales to tell, no,nuts to crack,
No little trundle-bed, brimful of roliek,
Calling for mamma to settle the frolic,
No Ittle'soft lips to press me with kisses
{ Oh such a.sad, lonely evening as this is }
No little voices to shout with delight
Goodnight, dear mamma, goodnight, good
nigh.% q .r.r q
Silent the house is; no little ones here,
To startle smile or chase back a tear.
Silent and lone, silent and lone,
Where, teIlme where, are my little ones gone? ?
It seemeThl but yesterday since they were
young;
Now, they are all scattered, the worlds paths
among.
Out where the great rolling trade-stream is
flowing;
Out where new fre-sides with lOve-lights are
gloWlngi
Out where the graves of their Iife-hOpes are
sleeping,
Not to be cOmforted-weeping, still weeping;
Out where the high hills of science are blend
ing,
Up mid the clOud-rifts, up, up, still ascend
ing,
Seeking the sunshine that rests on the noun
= tain, r~~.T AR
Drinking and thiFsting stiII, still at the foun-
tain;
Out in life's thOrOughfares all of them mOil-
iRg5
Ont in the vide, wide, world, striving and
tOiling.
Little ones, loving ones, playful ones, all,
That went.when bade, and came at my CALL
Have ye deserted me? Will ye not come,
Back to your mothers arms-baek to the
home?

The Steamer Illinois Sunk at Eagle
RiEer-Probabiy q Total Loss.

DETROIT, July 13.-Thc steamer Cleveland,
Captain Hal1oran. which arrived from Lake
Superior Inst night, brings the unwelcome
intelligence that the steamer Illinois, Cap
tain John Robertson, WIS wrecked on Eagle
river reef Inst Saturday morning, about half
past five O'clock. She Was going out Of
Eag1e river, bound down. The reef in qnes-
tion Is located about halt a mile from the
pitr. She missed the channel, which is very
narrow, and struck the reef, which she
"jumped,' and hung BY her gangway. 8he
roised signal Of distress, and the Cleve-
land steamed promptly. to her relief
and 1nnde fast to her. but was unable
to more her particle, ;whereupon she took
oil her freight md pasfengers and left her.
When the Cleveland left, the ill-fatetl steamer
had four feet Of Wnter in her hold, and, ai-
though both pumps were Kept going vigor-
ously, the water kept ginning on her, and Us
the wind hus since been unfavorable, 1t Is
feared the noble steamer has EuccQmbcd to
her fate. The next arrival from that quarter
will be looked Tor with great Interest.
The Illinois was fine steamer Of 92G tons
Custom House measurement. She came out
In 1854, and belonged to the famous heet Of
Commodore NeWDerry, by whom sha was
subsequently sold to the late Colonel Nc
Knight, and after Ills death she became the
property Of his successors, j. T. Whiting
g. Co. Last winter about $40, 900 was ex-
pended IN repairing her, and she Was In fine
order, She was always great taV0rite, and
was universally regarded is one Of the best
"sea boats" ever put atloat On the Western
lakes.
The Illinois was insured, but we have no
particulars.
