Hospitality entertained. The shore end
was landed ut 5 o'clock. amid the boom

cheers of the multitude on shore. The
people caught hold of the cable and
helped pull it up to the cable house,
where it was spliced to the land cable,
which is run in a trench to Duxbury.
About 6 o'clock, all the arrangements
were successfully carried out, and the
best of feeling prevailed. The cable is
in perfect working order. Messages we're

WHAT THE Word CooL1E MEANS
Most Americans and Europeans, who
are unacquainted with Chinese life, ina
gine that the word coolie embraces in its
meaning all the population of the Chi
nese Empire which is devoted to agricul-
ture and the various departments OF pro.
ductive industry. This is an error. The
word coolie is Bengalie, and signifies la
borer, and is not Chinese at all. It is
used by the populations of the seaboard
towns, who, for the most part, speak, in
common with the foreign residents, what
is called 'Pigeon English. " to designate
particular class of employees. There
arc ''coolie riggers," ''coolie carpenters, :"
''coolie deck hands," ':house coolies. /"
&c, but they form separate class from
tho population around them. In like
manner the word mandarin is generally
supposed in this country and in England
to be Chinese term, but it is not. It
is also "Pigeon English" and is derived
from the Portuguese word ''mandar," to
command. Being accepted by the TO.
reigners of the seaboard as entirely satis-
factory, the Chinese themselves, who
take kindly to tho absurdities and facili-
of the "Pigeon English" for the transac-
tions of business, have adopted it into
their vocabulary.-NeD York Herald.

SINGULAR PREsERVA TION. The Lon

touching story:
Not many years since, certain miners,
working far underground, came upon the
body Of poor fellow who had perished in
the suffocating pit forty years before
Some chemical agent TO which the body
hai been suhiected-agents prepared in
the laboratory Of nature-had effectualIy
arrested the progress of decay. They
brought it up to the surface, and for a
while, till it crumbled through exposure to
the atmosphere, it lay there the image of
a fine, sturdy young man. No convulsion
had passed over the face in death-the
features were tranquil; the hair was black
as jet. No one recognized the face-a
generation had gone since the day on
which the miner went down his shaft for
the last time. But tottering old woman,
who had hurried from ker cottage at
hearing the news, came up, and she knew
again The face which through all these
long years she had not forgotten. The
poor miner was to have been her husband
on the day after that on which he died.
They were rough people, of course, who
were looking en-; liberal education and
refined feelings are not deemed essential TO

when the gray headed old pilgrim cast her.
self upon the youthful corpse, and poured
into his deaf ear many words of endear-
menl unused for forty years. 1t was a
touching contrast the one so old, the
other so young, They had both been
young those long ago years ; but time had
gone on with the living, and stood still
with the dead.

WHAT rs sEsE WISHING EoRa

The twilight is gone. and the night comes on;
Her mantle is lowering over
The blossoms that whiten the broad, smooth
lawn,
And purple the shadowy clover.
A crescent of silver hangs low and dim
Away in the western skies;
And, pale in the light of its slender rim
The glow of the sunset dies.
What is she wishing for Agatha Ware
Standing white and silent there;
Her eloquent eyes rais'd 20 Heaven in prayer,
Beautiful Agatha-Agath Ware.
She sighs, and the moon with her royal tread
Is nearing the sea as she sigheth;
She sighs, and breath from the ocean sped
Afar as in echo replieth.
The heart of the maiden is beating high,
AS when, but child, she rais'd
A wish to the moon in the western sky,
And pray'd for 1t While she gaz'd.
With her eyes of beauty beyond compare
Deep, eloquent eyeS-rais'd to Heaven in
prayer;
As pale as lily-as proud and fair
Beautiful Agatha-Agatha Ware.
IT'S not as child she is pleading now:
The pearls that circle ler fDgsr
DeLOkGD tlt plSCSe Vi d hOLltn NOW,
And tenderly over them linger
The silvery beams, but alas not SO
The light of her soft eve falls
On thecl, when her gaze, TO the hand Of snow,
Their glittering pride recalls.
Falleth a tear on the hand SO fair,
Blight as the jewels that giisten there;
Sic moveth her lips in silent prayer,
Beautiful Agatha-Agatha Ware.
An though she has given the hand to one
Who prjzeth its beauty and hodeth
More precious than diamonds the gold fine
spun
That over her forehead she foldeth.
Alas he has paid for it all with gold,
CTwas thinking of this she sighed).

stop at Windsor Locks for fifteen passengers.

and that fact heing te!egraphed to Hartford,
he had the pleasure in due time OF seeing the
express train stop for his accommodation

said the conductor, as our Springfield friend
and his two companions appeared. to get
aboard the train. ''Why, you see" replied
he with a twinkle in his eye, 1.-The others
didn't come" OF course the conductor
could not take up more than three tickets
for three passengers, aud so the real estate
