MarpZZ0 Marble.

An article known SIS MarezzO Marble,
lately introduced into England, prom
ises to be a valuable addition to the
ornamental substances used in the arts,
the appearance of true marble being
very closely initiated, and the resulting
material being very easily worked and
very durable. The imitation. of differ
ent colored veins in the marble is eff
fected by taking skeins of silk, stepped
in suitable colors, and laid in proper
combinations upon a polished glass
plate. Upon this is poured, to 2epth
of about one-tenth of an inch, a guam
tity of fine cement, mixed with water, of
suitable body color, and the
skeins of silk are removed, before SOL
idilication ensues, leaving their repre-
sentation IN the colored mass. The
thickness of the artificial marble is in
creased by backing it with cement of
a somewhat coarser quality, and still
coarser quality of cement is applied
for the purpose of taking up the su-
perhuous moisture. The whole will
set in very short time, and allow the
| glass slab to be raised on end, and to
! exhibit the general effect. When
completely dry the slab is detach
ed from the glass, and may be
made of any desired thickness by
a backing of coarse cement and
strengthened by the occasional intorpo-
lation of an intermediate backing of
fbrous material, such as canvas, etc.
The surface is afterwards shaped and
polished, so as to bring out the mar
bling and further process of enam-
cling on this surface is sometimes gone
through with, so as to secure special
resistance to wear or exposure in the
open air. This material has already
been applied extensively in decorative
work, such as columns, pilasters, cor
nlces, statuary, etc. ....

At the Hop.
BY G.. A. BAKER. JR.

/
Yes, I'm here I suppose you're delighted
| You'd heard was not coming down
| Why I've been here week rather early
| know, but it's hor1id in town.
| At Boston Most certainly, thank you,
The music is perfectly sweet;
! OF course [ like dancing in Summer,
| It's warm, but don't mind the heat
The clumsy thing! Oh, how he hurt me-
! Ireally can't dance any more
Let's walk-see, they're forming Lanciers
These square dances are such bore.
My cloak, oh really don't need it
Well, carry it-so, in the folds
[ hate it, but Ma made me bringit:
She's frightened to death abuot colds,
This is rather cooler than dancing,
They're lovely piaZzas up here;
Those lanterns look sweet in the bushes,
It's lucky the night is so clear.
I am rather tired-in this corner?-
Very WELL If you LIKE don't care
But you'll have to sit on the railing
You see there is only one chair.
So long since you've seen me oh, ages i
Let's see, why its ten days ago
Seems years of course-dont look spooney
1t isn't becoming, you know.
How bright the stars seem tonight dom
they?
What was it you said about eyes?
How sweet-you must be a poet
One never can tell till he tries.
Why can't you be sensible, Harry?
don't like mems arms on my chair
Be still ! if you don't stop this nonsense,
I'll get up and leave you-so therel
Oh please don't-I don't want to hear it
A boy like you talking of love
Ny answer We'll sir, you shall have it
Just wait till 1 take off my glove.
See that ?-Well, you needn't look tragic,
It's only solitaire ring
Of course am proud of livery
It's rather an elegant thing.
Engaged !-yes-rhy didn't you know?
l thought the news must reach here
Why, the wedding will be in October
The happy man Charley Leclear.
Now don't blame mel tried to stop YOU
But you acoold go on like goose
I'm sorry it happened--forget it
Don't think of -don't-what's the use?
There's somebody coming-don't look so
Get up on the railing again
Can't you seem as if nothing had happened +
never saw such geese as men
Ah, Charley, you've found mel A galopP
The Balm f'ei ?" Yes; take my bouquet
And my fan if you will-now I'm ready
You'll excuse me, of course, Mr.. Gray"

Music a La Mode.

Somebody who saw and heard, de-
scribes the performance She was a
young woman, with as many white mus
lin founces around her as the planet
Saturn has rings. that did it. She gave
the music stool a whirl or two, and
fuffed down on it like a whirl of soap
suds in hand basin. Then she push
ed up her cuffs as if she were going to
fight for the champions belt. Then
she wriggled and twisted herself into a
position similar to a travelling turtle,
elevated her sentimental eye balls as if
studying the figure of the fresco work
upon the ceiling, after having gobbled
the necessary inspiration, threw himself
at the piano as if to wreak suppositious
vengeance from every fat and sharp up
on the guilty key board. She hammered
it, caressed it, firted with it, banged it
in fact Overcame it, and after pound
ing all manner of life out of it, was con-
veyed away, wriggling and apparently
fainting, while the gents were enrap-
tured and the ladies applauded with
" faint" praise-for all of which the
unsuspecting public supports fraudu-
lent female seminaries and colleges.

The Veteran EXPLAINS,


You ask a little too much, Cap:
[ don't see how We'll agree,
For the thing looks mighty different
To you than it does to me
| Those Johnnies fought us well, Cap:
know that told 'em so,
And shook their hands when they stacked thei
arms
AT the front, seven years ago.
I'll shake the hand of soldier
Who fights as he thinks is right,
And when the war is over,
Is willing to give up the fight;
But this I" shake DER the bloody chasm"
Means a different thing, you know,
From shaking hands with ragged "rebn
At the front, seven years ago.
We let 'em off too easy Cap;
In this think you'll agree,
That some of em shouli have said thei
prayers
At the foot of the gallows tree;
For we pardoned the whole caboodle--
The leaders as well as the men
And now, see, they are trying game
10 get into power again.
They led the Democrats before the war,
Ind they want to do it again;
God help the North with offices filled
By Davis, and that sort of men!
You can't win the game without the South,
You know very Well you can't,
And must count the cost of southern votes
10 help you IN beating Grant.
I find no fault with the times, Cap;
For money is easy and free,
And plenty of odd jobs going
For played out g vet " like me
And the country seems to prosper
The debt is fast being paid;
/ don't think change for better
Could very we'll be made
1 know they find fault with Grant, Cap.
They say he loves horses and smokes;
But then, an angel from heaven
Wouldn't suit that sort of folks
/ have locked at the matter careful,
And find that the trouble grows
From the fact that those lobby fellows
Cannot lead him by the nose.
1 never liked Horace Greeley,
And l tell you fair and square,
Goo never made such man as he
To fill the Presidents chair;
Fer he failed in the hour of trouble,
When things looked little dark,
And such captain as that amt fit
To handle the Union bark.
And now it sounds mighty suspicious
To hear these fellows rant,
Call him Honest Uncle Horace,
And all that sort of can't.
Why, it amt hard to remember
How Greeley used to blow,
And call them thieves and traitors,
Not a dozen years ago.
There's only one thing more, Cap,
That [ have got to say:
[ won't help put into Office
The leaders who wore the gray;
For the graves are in between us,
OF the boys who wore the blue,
And died in fighting those rebels
Now voting along with you.
And "across the bloody chasm ~
The North will never shake DER,
Till the crimson hands of the leaders
Are clean on the other shore.
You may win the fight in November
hope and trust you can't
But the soldiers vote you'll never get
70 help you in beating Grant.

Watching for Papa.

0he always stood upon the steps,
Just by the cottage door, 1-..
waiting to kiss me, when I came,
Each night, home from the store. 8.
her eyes We're hike two glorious stars, =
Dancing IN heavens own blue;
Papa" she'd call, like wee bird,
rs lootin' out for you.n
Alas how sadly do our lives
Change as we onward roam
For now no birdie voice calls out
To bid me welcome home.
No little arms stretch out to me,
No blue eyes, dancing bright,
Are peeping from the cottage door,
When [ come home at night.
And yet, it comforts me to think
That when I'm called away
From scenes below, to those of bright
And everlasting day,
A little angel at the gate,
With eyes devinely blue,
Will call with birdie voice, Papa,
rs lootin' out for you.h

EDITOR NEWS: One more word
from our valley. We are still on the

a good house, and are taking hold as
though they meant business. We well

to make it interesting this winter. We
understand that the Excelsior Farm

T. r. R. up to par, so that it viii COM
mand its face in cash, provided the
county will pay said firm one-thiid

If the farmers generally will glue
themselves to the policy that some
have adopted of feeding their corn to
hogs and cattle, they can safely count
on better times before many years.
More persousihave goneinto that bust
ness this fall in this vicinity than ever
before, and it is already raising the
price of hogs, steers and corn.
The present dry, pleasant weather
is not favorable to tall wheat, though
it is doing very well as yet

ton OF returning to Kentucky. He
came TO Kansas to stay, and propose:
TO do so. While he has a good offer In
Kentucky he does not propose to give
up Kansas for any iuducement. We
make this correction gladly. w
should indeed be sorry to lose Pinker'
ton and his family as citizens of oul
town.
