PROVISIONS for its Protection f,
Il ot


Lightning.
With reference to the great DANGER of
total destruction by lightning which
the Escurial has SO recently escaned
readers may feel interested in learning
how similar danger is guarded
against In the case of the great Metro
politan Cathedral, of London. The
fact is that, SO far human precautions
are OF avail, 1t is secured against light
n1ng ON scientific plan which was
suggested by the Royal Society as far
back as A. D. 1859. The seven iron
scrolls which support the ball and
cross are connected with other rods
(used as conductors) which unite them
with several large iron bars descending
obl1quely to the stonework of the Ian
tern, and connected by an iron ring
with four other iron bars to the leaden
covering of the great cupola. a dis
tance of nearly fifty feet. Thence tbe
COMMUNICATION is continued downward
by the raln-water pipes to the lead
covered roof and thence again by
!eaden water pipes which pass down
into the earth, thus completing the en-
tire communication from the cross to the
earth, partly through iron and partly
through lead. On the clock tower
looking down Ludgate Hill, bar O
IRON connects she pineapple ornamen-
tatlon at the top with the iron stair
case which leads up to it's inside, and
thence to the lead ON the roof of the
church. The bell-tower at the north
west angle is similarly protected. By
these means the metal used in the
building is made available for the work
of conductors, the metal itself employ
ed merely for that purpose being ex-
ceedingly small in quality when com
pared with the bulk of the fabric which
it serves to secure.
1t may be interesting to know that
out of the total proceeds of the Fabric
Fund for keeping the building in re-
pair-about e1, 200 a year-between
e230 and e230 is expended on a policy
of insurance against fire. The church.
as we learn form limbs "Curiosities
of London" is insured to the extent of
$50. 900 an amount quite adequate to
the risk, as, although it's erection cost
IN round numbers million of pounds,
still no damage that could ever be like
ly to come near that sum.

4 Chinese Romance from California,
From the Trinity Journal. Oct 10


A young Chinawoman, generally pro-
nounced the belle of Chinatown. com
mitted suicide last Monday by taking
opium. The young woman was lately
broughtto Weaverville by an old rascal,
who is said to make the traffic in
Chinese females his sole occupation.
and finds it profitable. The unfortu-
nate victim of his avarice would not
submit to dishoAor. She met with an
honest miner from the Flowery King
dom, by whom her tender directions
were led captive, and who reciprocated
her tenderness with ardor. It was
necessary to their happiness that the
hero of our tale should redeem his fair
one from the clutches of the ogre who
claimed her as his property. He toll
ed and boarded until by hard labor
and economy he got together $500 to-
ward her ransom. But this was not
half enough. The future of the loving
and unfortunate pair was of inky black
ness. But one feeble ray of hope was
perceptible through the surrounding
darkness. In the labyrinths of China
town there dwelt terrible beast whose
conquest would result in glory and
wealth to the successful antagonist.
Animated, doubtless, by the maxims
that i" fortune favors the brave" and
none but the brave deservs the fair"
last Sunday night our hero attacked
the tiger in his den, resolved to con-
quer if possible. The rest is briefly
told. He lost all but his honor, and
his Dulcinea drowned her woe in cup
of cold poison. She was buried by her
master without display, and all her
wearing apparel, perhaps 5000 in value,
was burned at her grave.

Only A Kiss.
BY ELLA HEEL E

ELLA Err.
Once, when the summer lay on the hilltops,
And the sunshine fell like golden flame,
Out from the city's dust and turmoil
A gallant, fair-halred stranger came
Came to rest in our humble cottage
Till the winds of autumn should blow ag ain
To walk by the meadow and lie by the brooket
And WOO back the strength that the town ha6
slain.

That had never been wooed; and the stranger
bland
Awoke that heart from its idle dreaming,
And swept the strings with master hand.
Iremember the thrill, and the first wild tremor
That stirred lis depth with sweet surprise
When I glanced one day at the handsome
stranger,
And caught the gaze of his deep, dark eyes
Ny cheek grew red with its tell-tale bushes,
And the knitting dropped from my nervous
grasp;
He stopped, and then, as he gracefully gave it,
He held my hand in a loving clasp.
We said no word, but he knew my secret;
He read what lay in my maiden heart;
No vain concealing was needed longer
To hide the tremor his voice would start
We walked in the meadow and by the brooklet
My sunbrown hand in his snowy palm;
He said my bushes would shame the roses,
And my heart stood still in blissful calm.
He stroked my tresses, my raven ringlets,
And twined them over his fingers fair;
Ny eyes dark splendor was full of danger,
He said, for Cupid was lurking there.
And once he held me close to his bosom,
And pressed on my lips laughing kiss;
Oh how tremble with shame and anger,
Pitiful now, as 1 think of this.
But in that moment I thought that heaven
Had suddenly opened and drawn me in,
And kissed with passion the lips so near me,
Nor dreamed I was staining my soul with
SIN.
But came letter one quiet evening
To the man that was dearer to me than life
ga PICTURE" he said, as he tore it open,
"Look, sweetest friend, at my fair young
wife" "a
A terrible anguish, seething anger,
Heaved in my bosom and blanched my
Cheek,
And he who stood there holding the letter,
He watched me smiling, but did not speak
took the picture and gazed upon it
A sweet young creature with sunny hair
And eyes of blue. Sc May the good Lord keep
you,'
said aloud, in His tender care
Yeu who are welded and bound forever {
Unto this man and met his eyes
''This soulless villain, this shameless coward,
Whose heart is black with acted lies - q
My heart swelled full of terrible hatred,
And something ofmurder was burning there,
But better feeling stole in behind it,
AS I looked on the picture sweet and fair.
l turned and left him, and never saw him
Nor looked on his startled face again
And time has tempered my shame and sorrow,
And soothed and quieted down my pain.
But I always tremble, in awful anger,
That wears and worries my waning life,
When think how he clasped me close TO his
bosom,
He-with lawfully welded wife =
When I think how I answered his light
Caresses, -.-.
And clung to his neck in trance of bliss,
And the tears of lifetime and all my sorrow
Can never remove the stain of his kiss.

A Circular from the Centennial Commits.
80 sion at Philadelphia.

The Centennial Commission has is
sued an address to the people of the
United States, signed blythe President,
Joseph P. Hawley, for subscriptions to
a fund of ten million dollars, required
to make the Centennial such a success
as the patriotism and pride of every
American demand. The Commission
looks to the unfailing patriotism OF
the people of every section to see that
each contributes it's share of the bene-
fits of an enterprise in which all
are SO deeply interested. 1t would
further earnestly urge the for
nation in each state and ter
ritory of Centennial organizations.
which shall in time see that county as
sociations are formed, so that when
the nations are gathered together IN
1876, each commonwealth can view with
pride the contributions it has made to
the national glory. Confidently relying
On the zeal and patriotism ever dis
played by our people in every national
undertaking, we pledge and prophesy
that the Centennial celebration will
worthily show how greatness, wealth,
and intelligence can be fostered by
such institutions as those that have fo1
one hundred years blessed the people
of the United States.

touchingly beautiful, and our readers viii
thank US for publishing it
There's little low hut by the rivers side,
Within the sound of its ripping tide;
Its walls are grey with the MOSES of years,
And its roof all crumbled and old appears
But fairer to me than castles pride
Is the little low hut by the rivers side
/ The little low hut was my natal nest,
| Where my childhood passed-Life's springtime
blest;
Where the hopes of ardent youth were formed,
And the sun of promise my young heal
warmed.
Ere threw myself on life's swift tide,
And left the dear hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut, in lowly gulse,
Was soft and grand to my Youthful eyes,
And fairer trees were ne'er known before
Than the apple trees by the humble door,
That my father loved for their thrifty pride
Which shadowed the hut by the rivers side
That little low hut had glad hearthstone,
That echoed of old with pleasant tone,
And brothers and sisters, merry crew,
Filled the hours with pldssure as on they IL W:
But one by one the loved ones died,
That dwelt in the hut by the rivers side.
The father reyered and the children gay
The graves of the world have called away;
But quietly all alone there sits
By the pleasant window in summer, and knits,
An old woman, long ears allied
With the little low hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut to the lonely wife
Is the cherished stage of her active fife;
Each scene is recalled in memory's beam,
AS she sits by the window in pensiye dream;
And joys and woes roll back like tide
In that little low hut by the rivers side.
My mother-alone by the rivers side
She waits for the flood of the heavenly tide,
And the voice that shall thrill her heart with
its call,
To meet once more with the dear ones ALL
And form in region beautified
That band that once met by the rivers side.
That dear old hut by the rivers side,
With the warmest pulse of my heart allied,
And glory is over the dark wall thrown,
That statelier fabrics have never known.
And shall love with a fonder pride
The little low hut by the rivers side.
