q Ample Security. The entire mort
gage upon the road when completed toBart-
lett will be only $12,5Oo per mile, a smaller
incumbrance than upon any other railroad

than the value of its rails and equipment.

ration in Vermont, is rapidly building the
Western division OF the road fiom Swanton

Agricultural Wealth Of the CnIied
Kingdom.

The British Agricultural Returns
for 1870 show that the total acreage
of the whole Uuited Kingdom, un-
der all kinds Of crops, bare. fallow
and grass, in 1870, was 46,177,370
against 36, 100 1853 in 1869. OF this
Great Britain had 30,407,6 acres /;
Ireland, 15,662,578, and the Channel
Islands 1l7,2l3. The total acreage
under corn crops in the United
Kingdom, including beans and peas,
was II, ,755,053, of which 9,54S,O41
were in Great Britain, 2,173, ,I09 in
Ireland, and 33,903 in the Islands,
the rest being monopoliZed BY pota-
tres and other green crops.
The average acres under wheat
alone in the United Kingdom was
nearly 100000 less than in 1869,
which represents diminution in the
home supply of wheat of 100000
quarters. The total number of each
kind of live stock in the United
Kingdom was: Horses, about 1885,
600, of which Great Britain possessed
about 2,050,0O0, and Ireland 10000: /:

Lithography.

Alloys Senefelder, the inventor OF
lithograpy, was born in Prague, on
Novem Der 9th, 1771, and died in
Munich, on February 26th, 1884. He
was the son of an actor, who en-
deavored to give the son good edu-
cation, but the poverty of the parent
rendered all these efforts unavailing.
Alloys Senefelder adopted many pur-
suit to gain a livelihood, and among
other projects endeavored to invent
a new process of printing. After
numerous experiments, which all
failed miserably, by a mere accident
he hit upon the process which has
rendered his name celebrated. Hav-
ing exhausted his supply Of pens,
ink and paper, he had no materials
to make memorandum of clothes
about to be sent to the wash; he
therefore drew up a list upon a
smooth piece of stone, with q compo-
sition of wax, oil, turpentine and
lamp-black, formed into a rude PEN
Gil. In few days the idea struck
him that an impression on paper with
printers ink, might be taken of the
coarse writing. This experiment
was successful. and Senefelder ap-
piled himself to perfeeting the pro-
cess, and in 1896 he succeeded in
printing piece of music from lines
and notes drawn on stone. He
then obtained patent for his inven-
ton, and in 1902 established himself
at Vienna as photographer, being
chiefly engaged In copying old en-
cravings. The art was introduced
into the pincipal capitals of Europe
and met with great favor, even the
nobility practising lithography.-
Few improvements, it is stated, were
made in the art until the invention
of the autolithographic paper by LIE
mercier, who at the French Exposi-
ton of 1855 received a medal of hon
or for the work executed at his estab-
lishment in Paris, which at that time
employed one hundred presses and
two hundred workmen. The Count
De Lasteyrie invented fac siInile
printing on stone, and lithography
has been still further improved by
the discoveries of Engelmsn, a chem
ist. AS the centennial anniversary
of the birth of Alloys Senefelder is
approaching, extensive preparations
are making for suitable celebration
of the occasion.

DREAMS AND REALITIES.
BIZ PH6BE CARY

The following poem Is the last one sent
BY Phoebe Cary TO Harper's Bazaar. The Ba'
gar says: "1t is the song Of the dying swan
ender, and sweet, and beautiful" .-a.ie
o, Rosamond, thou fair and good,
A per Ct flower Of womanhood,
why did'st thou droop before thy time ;
Why wither In the first sweet primer J
Why did'st thou die so soon?.
For, looking backward through my te All
On thee. and on my wasted years,
I car not choose but say,
8 II thou had'st lived to be my guide,
!. Or thou had'st lived and had died,
Twere better far to-dayI
Ochild of light, o Golden head
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life's lonely way -t- q =
Why did'st thou vanish from our sight
Could they not spare your little light
From Heavens unclouded day?
o friend SO true, o friend SO good
Thou one dream of my maidenhood,
That gave youth all its charm
That through this lonesome world till
We walk with empty arms?
And yet had this pour soul been fed
with all 1t loved and coveted
Had life been always fair
Would these dear dreams that ne'er de-
Thai thrill with bliss my inmost heart,
Forever tremble there?
Ifstill they kept their earthly place,
The friends held in my embrace,
And gave to death, alas
Could L have learned that clear, calm
That looks beyond the bonds OF death.
And almost longs to pass?
Sometimes, 1 think, the things we see
Are shadows Of the things to be;
That what we plan We build;
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream we thought was lost,
. In Heaven shall be fulfilled.
? That even the children Of the brain
Have not been born and died IN vain,
Though here unclothed and dumb;
Button some brighter, better shore n
They live, embodied evermore>
And wait for US to come.
And when on that last day We rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies,
Then shall we hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast done with doubt and
death;
Henceiorth, according to thy faith,
Shall be thy faiths reward.

Sill YER MOULD WHITE WIRE
CLOTHES LINE!

To The Ladies of Bfdauy. and Adoinia9
Counties:
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF S0LIC-
w iting your attention to our new quality
of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such o
manner, of white metallic substance, that it is
prevented from ever corroding or changing
from its beautiful white color during any num-
Der of years. We guarantee it to be perpetual
ly infallible against rust, and after you have
used it we are confident that you will concur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
The following are the advantages gained by
using these Patent White Wire Clothes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whiteness,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
I'd. The durability of this Wire Line is one of
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time you
will wear out great many cOmmon lines, be-
sides being obliged to put up with an immense
amount of trouble with them.
Sd. Alter it is put up and wiped of it is al
ways clean, while rope line is more or less
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before lis used or it will Soil the clothes.
4th. By actual experience ii is found to be by
far the cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This will last lifetime.
5th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9th. Another Of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is that clothes of any kind
will not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
| finest fabrics can be removed at any time with,
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
| cold weather will freeze through and through
and thin articles cannot be removed without a
liability of tearing them. While the wiie bcius
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost oughformed to cause an adhesion
! and even the finest gauze can be removed from
| the line without injuring it in the least. |
9Th. The alkalies now being used in the pat
| ent soaps have net the least effect ON the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. 1t will save you its price in saving you
| time and trouble every six months you own It.
9th. 1t never will break and drop clothes in.
| to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of whole day extra washing. This ons
thing alone is enough to condemn the old styl,
OF lines farever, and call into requistion an ar
ticle that is free from all such provoking annoy
| ances, something strong, clean and durable
| Get the Patent Everlasting White Wire Line
| then you have it right. 'i
Price cents per foot.

Wise Words.

Foolish spending Is the father oi
poverty. Do not be ashamed to work.
Work for the best salary or wages you
can get, but work for half price rather
than be idle. Be your own master,
and do not let society and fashion
swallow up your individuality. Dc
not eat up or wear out all you can
earn. Compel the selfish body to
spare something for the profits saved.
Be stingy in your own appetite, but
nerciful to others necessities. Help
others, and ask not help for yourself.
See that you are proud, but let your
pride be of the right kind. Be toe
proud to be lazy; too proud to give up
without conquering every difficulty;
too proud to wear coat you cannot
buy; too proud to be In company YOU
cannot keep up with in expense; toe
proud to lie, or steai, or cheat; toe
proud to be stinRy.

nouncement seemed to puzzle the Duke
a good deal. Here was the Governor
of State, as well dressed and as well
appearing as himself, who had actually
worked in shop, and this man was
welcoming him in behalf of hundred
thousand voters; it was more of an
enigma than he had ciphered on pre-.
viousiy; but as he. goes through the
country he will ascertain, upon ipqdir-
rg, that very many of the public men
here have come direct from the work

The Amazons.

According to a very ancient tradi-
tion, the Amazons we're a nation of
women, who suffered no men t. re-
main among them, but marched to
battle under the command of their
queen, and formed for long time a
formidable state. They helu occasion
al intercourse with the men of the
neigl,boriHg states. If boys were born
to them, they either sent them to their
fathers, or killed them. But they
brought up the girls for war, ana
burned off their right breasts, that
they might not be prevented from
bending the bow. From this custom
they received the name Amazon, that
is. "breastless.' Such is the ordinary
tale; the origin of which is perhaps TO
be accounted for by supposing that
vague reports, exaggerated and poet
ically embellished, had reached the
Greeks of the peculiar way in which
the women of various Caucasian dis
tricts lived, performing military du
ties which elswhere devolved on hus-
bands, and also of the numerous ex.
amples of female heroism which trav-
elers inform us,still distinguish the wo
men of that region. In later times,
however, the word Amazon has been
supposed to have some connection with
the Cireassian word "Maza," signify
ing the moon, as if the myth of the
Amazon had taken its origin in the
Wprship o!c the moon, which prevailed
on the borders of Asia, The nations
