The Editors Song.

Tne editor sits at his table,
writing as well as he's able,
paragraphs, leader and pun;
u;e srissors beside him are lying,
while ne is in agony trying
or copy TO furnish enough.
'Toil, toll, toll
What weary life Is mine
wasting the precious midnlgnt OIL
On leader, and column, and line;
working from morn till night,
working from night till morn
Oh why was that steam press ever made'
Oh why was the editor oorns
sToil, toll, toll
And whose is the gain when wonF
Whose are the trophies we achlevey
And for when are the laurels won?
To stand in the foremost rank
or each hard-fought party fray
To toll and toll, and only get
Abuse and neglect for pay.
''Toil, toll, toll
What o thankless task Is ours,
To bake the bread and press the cneese,
That Senator Jones devours
To sit on O three-legged STOOL,
While others have hair-stufied sears.
To prepare the hash and COOK tne s'e"'
But never to taste the meats
s"Tell, tell, toll

So the ceaseless, endless work,

The two friends. carrying their arms and bend
ing low in the same shadow OF the garden bushes,
crept away from the house until they reached
grain field hey yond the trees into which they moved
swiftly. They had but little distance now to go
to reach the stock pasture, and they got 10 the
last in the very nick OF time.
A hall-dozen dusky figures were already there,
and the horses. disturbed by the firing, were very
uneasy as these advanced.
Two shrill calls, understood well by the animals
for which they were intended, brought two noble
animals. "Back Nell" and "Powder Face" to
the edge OF the grain-fcld. The next Instant,
needing neither saddle nor bride, the TWO men
were mountea and without word, both aasaed
forward upon the Indians who were after the
stock.
So suddenly and unexpectedly were these over
whelmed-not by shot being fired, only the
tonahawk usel-that there was no alarm III the
grove. Then the two men sped on, not noise
lessly now, but whooping and yelling in wild con
cert, and urging their steeds faster by their cries,
till they were upon the rear of the astonished red
skins, pouring out shot after shot with deadly
effect on the enemy.

mile and three-quarters, but in shooting

gained; Opposite the Middle Mail the
OX1ords spurted and came up gradually to
the Harvards, but when opposite the
Doves the boats were found to be too
close together and the Harvards gave wav
and at Chiswick Ait, 30 miles. the boafs
were level. After proceeding fifty Yards
further the Oxfords began to gain, though
temporarily, and the Harvards again got
even with them. Oxfords gained rapidly
at Chiswick, where it became clear that
the race apparently told on the Harvards,
who were rather wild at this part of the
race. From this point the Oxfords
rapidly drew ahead, and in few
strokes obtained a lead of two
lengths. The Harvards, rowing pluckily,
held them there for half mile, when they
fell astern, and Oxfords, at thirty eight
strokes per minute, shot Barnes bridge

Remarkable Effect of Lightning-The
Gift of Preaching.

THE case of Mrs. Birney, near Tippeca-
noe, Harrison county, Ohio, is a remarka-
BILE one. AT the age of eighteen, while
pitching load of hay from wagon into
fmow, she was struck by lightning,
which paralyzed the right half of her
body, from the crown of her head down
She was entirely insensible for the space
of two hours. She recovered from the
effects of the stroke, and at the age of
twenty-three years married her husband.
About twenty-three years ago she was
suddenly taken i'll, as was supposed, and
while in an unconscious state delivered a
religious discourse.
From that time until the present those
spells have come upon her regularly
every two weeks. AT first they occurred
on week days, but for the past twenty
years they have invariably happened on
Sunday at ten o'clock a. M, when, rain or
shine, summer or winter, whether there
be crowd or only her family present,
she regularly passes into an unconscious
state, and delivers a religious discourse
always one hour to an hour and thirty
minutes in duration, and of the truest
orthodox stamp. She always feels un-
well for hours before and after the deliv-
cry of a sermon. She says she feels a
painful, prickling sensation in the right
half of her body, which begins several
hours before, and lasts until unconscious
ness takes place. Between the spells she
feels perfectly well, and performs her
household labors as vigorously as if she
were many years younger than she really
ls1peing now in her eighty-second year.

The Cable Account of the Great Boat
Race.
LONDON. August 27.

LONDON, August 81.
THE excitement to-day over the great
international boat race has been intense
The banks of the Thames have been lined
with spectators since an early hour this
morning. The city has been almost de-
serted, and business quite neglected. We
hicles of all descriptions, bearing the
Harvard and Oxford Golofs, and heavily
laden with people, have crowded all the
roads leading to the course, and during the
entire day the roads in the vicinity of Put
ney, Hammersmith, Chiswick, Barnes,
Mortlake, &C., were thronged with pedes-
trians. The railway companies found
themselves almost unable to provide cars
sufficient to carry the vast numbers in
waiting at the depots. 1t is no exaggera-
tion to state that probably million of
people witnessed the race.
The Harvard crew won the toss for pO-
sition and chose the Middlesex side, the
outside of the semi circle. Both boats
started at hours, IA minutes 81 seconds.
The tide at the start was sluggish, and a
slight southwest breeze prevailed, with
smooth water. The Harvards were first
to catch the water, and took the lead, gain
ing rapidly upon their opponents, and
making forty-fve strokes per minute
against the Oxfords' forty. AT Bishops
Greek, three furlongs from the start, the
Harvards led half length. Gaining head
way, they increased their lead as they
passed the Willows Their pace was sub
sequently slackened and the Oxfords
pulled up, but the Haryards were still
three-quarters of length ahead at Craven
Point, three-quarters of a mile from the
start Oxfords now went on witha steady
drag, but the Americans rapidly increased
their lead and at Crabtree, mile and
an eighth from the aqueduct, were
couple of lengths ahead. Beyond here
the Harvards were taken wide, ane
the Oxfords quickened their speed, re
duced the gap at the soap works, a mile
and a half from the start to half a length

his wife. They lived together in peace
and happiness long while. A son was
born out of this marriage. Finally, the
husband of the girl was taken sick with
that terrible disease, consumption, and
died, leaving the girl widow with her
child. During the illness of her husband,
the latter received kind consideration at
the hands of his parents, although they
never, in person, visited his bedside.
Soon after the death of her husband the
widow and child came to this country with
her father and mother They settled in
this city. The father and mother took up
home for themselves, while the widow
went out to service in a well-known fam
lily living on Washington avenue. She
had been there for long time, and was
honored by her employers. Last week
she received a letter, announcing the fact
that the whole estate Of her husbands
father, amounting to. e500,0O0, had been
bequeathed to her son. Arrangements
were at once perfected, and on Wednesday
last, the servant girl, accompanied by her
father, sailed from New York to Liver
pool, to look after the fortune coming to
them.-1L60nu RnIckerb0cker, AAgust 21.

The Eclipse in Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.
A SPECIAL from Victoria says the eclipse
expedition of the United States coast left
Sitka on July Is, in an open boat for the
Chelkal river On account of heavy
weather it was II days in reaching proper
position on the river in latitude 1928, and
longitude 1876 degrees IS minutes-only 20
miles from the Genital path Of totality 1t
was impossible to carry instruments and
provisions over the Iron mountain range.
The 7th of August was the cloudiest day
experienced, but break in the clouds en-
abled the different phases to be watched,
and the beginning of totality was accurately
noted. Instantly after observation, rose
colored flames were visible to the un-
assisted eye, and their extent, position, and
elevation approximately measured on the
southeast and southwest parts of the suns
limbs The corona was visible over part
of the limb only. The whole picture was
magnificent. The end of the eclipse was
not seen. The phenomena of coming dark
ness and growing light were very marked
along the course of the valley
Mr.. Seward and party visited Prof
Davidson's camp, and watched the phases
OF the eclipse, and saw all the phenomena,
rose-colored flames, and corona The
parties on the steamer Active, at the
mouth of the river, had the best view OF
totality. The clouds broke, and large,
clear spaces enabled them to see the flame
and corona; also, the planet Mercury and
stars of the fourth magnitude. At Sitka
the eclipse was not quite total, and was
watched through broken clouds. At Fort
Wrangel the weather was densely cloudy
At Fort Tongass the weather was favor
able, and the officers observed the time OF
beginning and ending. The Indians, fear.
fully alarmed, hid in their houses or took
to the bushes

opening the safe in the Supervising Archi-
tect's office in one hour and seven minutes,
and afterwards accomplished the same

seeing the performance, those present
ceased to wonder at the skillful bank rob
berries reported in New Jersey and New
York"
