Ealls like . mantle round myform;
And an the stars Ike autumn flowers,
Are banished by the whirlins storm
The demon clouds throughout the sky
Are dancing In their strange delight,
While winds uuvearied play-but
Am weary Of the night.
Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
And dawn upon me with thine eyes.

And taps against thy window-pane;

And hope departed with thy light.
The winds unwearied play-but I
Am weary Of the night.

MONEY FROM CRUSTS.

A Partisan genius, Familiarity known as
Pere Chapellier has taught the volatile
the possibilities of making money in a
very humble way. He was in early life
a soldier, and when discharged from SER
vice had neither money or trade Deter
mined to succeed, he gave himself to rag
picking, and soon proved himself
shrewder and more successful than those
who had followed the business for life
time. Having laid up some money, he
struck for higher game, and turned to
marketing poultry. Finding that exper-
fenced purchasers could detect fowls not
recently killed by the. color of their legs.
Re invented coloring Yarnish which de-
ceived the sharpest buyers, and enable
him to make large profits. Selling the
secret to fellow tradesmen, he turned to
another line of business and gave himself
to the buying and selling of bread crusts
and fragments of bread. Making bar
gain with keepers of hotels and restau-
rants, and with servants of wealthy fam
lilies, for all the leavings of the table in
the bread line, he opened shops for the
sale of fragments to the poor, and soon
established an immense and lucrative
trade Taught by experience he found
that the crusts could be used in many
ways, tor making of soups, of savory
dishes with crumbs, and other articles of
diet acceptable to the poor. He put his
knowledge to practical use, and his shops
became known to all the lower classes OF
Paris, and was their favorite resort. It
seems incredible that business of this
character should take on such large di-
mansions; but he now has immense
warehouses where the bread is gathered,
stored and classified, and keeps vast
number of horses and carts trayersing the
whole city for collecting and distribut
ing the fragments of bread. He confines
himself strictly to this single line of
business, experimenting all its details
as rigidly as Mr.. Stewart, of New York,
looks after all the departments Of. his
trade. He has accumulated a fabulous
fortune, and given handsome dowries to
three daughters, ali of whom have mar,
ried well. All Paris has learned from
him that brain and energy applied to
the humblest business can make it lucra-
tive.

The Auglaize Democrat says: "The
Shawnee and Pottawatomie Indians had
a law, which would prove very benef-
ciai among the pale faces in certain
cases, if it were properly enforced.
When squaw proved unfaithful to her
husband the persuasive Indian who LED
her astray was sought out and regularly
tried before the Chief, and if he was
found guilty the punishment was to have
his nose bitten off by the injured hus-
band. He was accordingly laid upon the
ground on his back, with stout Indian
on each arm and leg, and then the hus-
band fell upon him and relieved him of
his nose by bitingit off. He was then
marked for life, with stigma more dur
able than that OF Cain. An old citizen
of Auglaize saw this punishment inflicted
at the treaty of St Marys, in 1917
After the infiction of the sentence, the
criminal jumped up and gave one
"whoop" and went his way"

MISSOURI.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The conspiracy at Washington last
winter to divide and destroy the Repub-
lican party, whereof we first heard
through the exulting bulletins of certain
of the conspirtors, made public through
the New York Eyening Post and the
Chicago Tribune received fresh develop
ment through the Republican State Con-
yention Of Missouri, held at Jefferson
City last week Governor McClurg is
protcctioDist, open and defiant so he was
long since marked out for slaughter
The Republicans of Missouri refuse to
consummate the plot but it can hardly
have been expected that they would.
The conspirators bolt, as had been pre-
determined, and nominate B. GratZ
Brown, whose votes must mainly be cast
by the old Secession Democracy. The
pretext of e-entranchisementi is not even
colorado. The conventions platform
left every Republican free to favor or
oppose eenfranchisement; the conspira-
tors insist on making those indorse that
scheme whose judgment condemn it.
Henceforth, they take their place in the
democratic ranks, and their vote,
small or large, will be claimed as measur
ing the Democratic strength in Mis-
souri,. We hope to chronicle Governor
McClurg's riumphant reelection.

To PREVENT DECAY OF SHINGLES
The following is said to effectually pre-
vent decay in shingles: Take potash
kettle, or large tub, and put into it one
barrel of I've of wood ashes,five pounds Of
white vitriol, five pounds of alum, and as
much saltas will dissolve in the mixture.
Make the liquor quite warm, and put as
many shingles in 1t as can be convenient
ly wet at once. Stir them up with a
fork, and when well soaked, take them
our and put in more, renewing the liquor
as necessary. Then lay the shingles
IN the usual manner After they are
laid, put lime enough in it to make white
wash, and if any coloring is desired, add
ochre, Spanish brown, lamp-black, etc
and apply to the roof with brush or an
old broom This wash may be renewed
from time to time. Salt and lye are ex-
celient personalities of wood. 1t is we'll
known that leach tubs, troughs and other
articles used in the manufacture of potash,
never rot. They become saturated with
the alkali, turn yeiowish inside, and
remain impervious to the Weather.-Man.

A PERFECT WATER-P RooF.-A
writer in an English paper says BY
the way, speaking of water proofs, |
think can give travellers a valuable hint
or two For many years have Worn
India rubber water-proofs, but will buy
no more, for | have learned that good
Scottish tweed can be made entirely i'm
pervious to rain, and, moreover, have
learned how to make it so and for the
benefit of readers will give the recipe
In bucket of soft water put half a
pound of sugar of lead, and half a pound
of powdered alum; stir this, at intervals,
until it becomes clear, then pour It off
into another bucket, and put the garment
therein, ana let it be IN twenty four
hours, and then hang it up to dry with
out wringing it. Two OF nay party-a
lady and gentleman have worn gar
ments thus treated in the widest storms
of wind and rain, without getting wet.
The rain hangs upon the cloth in globules
In short they were really water proof.
The gentleman, a Fortnight ago, walked
nine miles in a storm OF rain and wind,
such as you rarely see in the South; and
when he slipped off his ovcrcoat, his
under clothes were as dry as when he
put them ON. This is, think, secret
worth knowing; for cloth, if it can be
made to keep out wet, is, in every WY
better than what we know as water. proofs

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

BERLIN, Sep. 10.-Klng William wrote
to the Queen describing his emotions on
meeting the French Emperor He says:
at was overwhelming for moment. I
could not control myself on thus meeting
him whom three years ago saw at the
summit of grandeur. The Emperor was
equally moved"
LONDON, Sept. 10.--Heralds Special-
Information received at the Prussian en-
bassy in London, makes it certain that
King William has resolved to ignore the
revolutionary government at Paris as
destitute of all shadow of authority. In
the event of The Occupation of Paris, he
will treat only with officials recognized
by the Emperor Napoleon. OF I9lII
LONDON, Sept. 11.-At nine o'clock
Thursday night M. de Lesseps, who was
not recognized at the time, walked into
the Marine Hotel at Hastings, and In
quired for the Prince Imperial. III. Du-
pree, custodian of the Prince, summoned
him. After brief conversation, the gen.
tleman left the house ,sbut soon returned
with two ladies dressed as Sisters Of Char
ity. One of these was the Empress Eu.
genie. The Empress felt SO strong that
She was permitted to see the Prince with
out notice or preparation. The scene at
the meeting OF tie mother. and child was
indiscribable. The next day the EN-
press was ILL DR.. Black stone..and sur
geon were summoned TO attend her. 1t
is remarkable coincidence that these
medical gentlemen are the same who pre-
scribed for Louis PHILIPPE on his Landing
at Hastings, twenty-five years ago.
PARIS, Sept. 12-Paris is cheered this
morning by rumor that. Russiai is insist
ing on an armistice; also that the United
States has interposed and sent three de-
'cided dispatches to Berlin. It is said the
Prussian advance has been stopped in
consequence. -.

How THE CHINESE CAME TO WEAR
PIG TAILs.-It is curious how the Chi
nese came to wear pig-tails. Several
hundred years ago the inhabitants OF
China wore their hair as we do, there was
war between China and Tartary, and the
Chinese got the worst of it and were con
quered. When the first Tartar king of
he present dynasty came to the throne,
he determined to humble the pride of the
Chinese. He began in 1914, by ordering
every body to shave eff the hair except a
tuft on the crown; that being the way
he wore his own hair There were q
great many proud and high-spirited gen
tlemen in China who would not obey the
command, and the result was they had
their heads chopped off 1t is ratheran
uncomfortable thing for man to lose his
head. The Chinese thought so, and con-
cluded to shave and braid their hair in
to- pig-tuil, although it was an act of
degradation. They felt it kcenly, but as
the years rolled on they forgot the humil-
iation and began to like the fashion. AS
soon as the pigtails became fashionable,
young gentlemen of China tried to get
up the longest, neatest and glossiest tails
possible. They cultivated them Just as
young gentlemen in the United States,
and almost everywhere else, cultivate
their whiskers and mustache, greasing,
combing, brushing and lingering them
all the time. a w Is 1881 #3

He started from q honse raising to go a
short distance to his home and was never

were found with the bones of the feet
still in them, his knife and some buttons
from his clothes were also found, When
he started from the raising td 60 home
he had piece of light rope in his hand,

to be the same, YVES found by Mr.. Tucker
