Shall We Meet Again.

The following is said to be on of the
most brilliant articles written by the
| mented George ID. Prentice:
The fiat of nature is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from the
great laT which doo-ns US to the dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves of the
forest, and the flowers that bloom and
wither in day have no frazier hold
upon life than the nightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations OF men will appear
and disappear as the grass, and the null
ttude that throngs the W rid to-day
will disappear as the footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the event
OF death until the shadows fall across
their own pathway, hiding from their
eyes the faces of loved ones who,e liv
ing smile was the sunli ht Of their ex-
istence. Death is the antag onist of life,
AMI the cold tho ught of the tomb is the
skeleton of all feasts. We do not want
to go through the dark valley,
although its dark passages may lead to
paradise we do not want u lay down
in the damp grave, even with princess
as bed fellows. In the beautiful drama
of Iron, the hope of immortality, so ele-
gantly uttered by the death.devoted
Greek, finds deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his young existence as sacrifice to fate.
his Clemanthr asks if they should meet
again, to which he replies: | have
asked that dreadful question of the hills
that look eternal-of he clear streams
that flow forever-of the stars among
whose fields of azure my raised spirit
has walked in glory. All were dumb;
but as | gszed upon the living face | see
that there is something in the love that
mantles through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet again,
Clemantha."

Terrible Fight with a Vicious Sow.

A few days ago Thomas j. Crsycroft,
of Taylor township, Harrison county,
went into the forest near his residence
TO feed large SOW, whose pigs were not
yet large enough TO leave the bed. His
wife and little prattling girl, wishing to
see the pigs, accompanied him. The
father threw the SOW some corn, and.
after eating few mouthfuls, she started
towards the child, with her huge jaws
widely extended, making the most
frightful demonstrations. Mr.. Craycroft,
seeing the peril of his child, sprang be-
tween 1T and the ferocious brute, at the
same time calling TO his wife to take the
child away. Then commenced strug.
gle for life between Mr.. Craycroft and
the maddened brute. Beinga large and
powerful animal, she stood on her hind
feet and thrust her fore feet against the
breast of her victim with such tremen.
dous force as came near knocking him
down several times, meanwhile max ing
repeated efforts TO bite or cut HIM about
the face and throat with her powerful
tusks. Mr.. Craycrott's only weapons of
defense were his feet and hands and
in attempting to push the infuriated
beast from his face he got his right hand
several times in her mouth, by which it
Was irightfuliy mangled. The mother,
after running few yards, looked back,
and seeing her husbands life in peril,
set her child down, and, armed with a
club, started TO his rescue; but before
she got in reach the husband had olsen
gagged himse f enough to get hold of
club, with which he dealt his iendsh
antagonist several heavy blows be
fore she would desist; and even then
she made one effort to renew the con-
f,ct. The spectacle presented by the
victor as he walked painting from the
field was truly frightiul. His clothing
was cut into shreds, and he was bespat-
tered from head to foot with blood,
mingled with foam and froth from the
mouth of the enraged monster. The
blood "squshed" in his shoes as he walk
ed. Besides the mangling of the right
hand he received severe cuts about his
left hand and arm, and a frightful cash
above his left knee.-N;o Albany (Ind.)

Newspaper Celebrities.

A correspondent Of the Springfield
Republican gives the following gossip
about some prominent newspaper celeb
ritis of New York:
Mary l.. Booth returned last week
from ten days vacation, the first in
five years, during which she visited the
White Mountains and other interme-
date localities. IL is prime principle
of the Hsrpers never 10 delegate re-
sponsibility, and hence il is almost i'm.
possible tor any one filling such an
onerons position AS Miss Booth to get
away from her desk. more untiring
worker can scarcely be found and what
with reading manuscript, and passing
judgment on books, In addition TO her
special duties in the Bazar, she finds her
editorial chair not a bed OF roses. Yet,
like every true literateur, she takes a
hearty pleasure in her work and never
tires OF it. Miss Booths example.
should warn youthful aspirants OF the
toilsome nature of literary labor; but if
this is not enough, they may draw
lesson from the labors of George Ripley
and Charles A. Dana. The former VEN
cradle : nd most genial patriarch OF the
press, though he has reached an age
when most men might rightly claim
some cessation of their labors, performs
an extraordinary amount OF work.
Every day he may be seen In the 1rt6-
une editorial rooms, seated at his desk,
with nothing to show the heat OF the
weather except that his coat is Oft. He
says that no season suits his constitu-
ton as well as summer, and he Is never
in better condition than when the
thermometers ia among the ninetles. 1t
clears out the system, he thinks, and 1T
rlds it OF bad humors and poor blood.
Mr.. Ripley is never In hurry, but
works with care and circums, ection.
Yet the amount OF work he turns out
is amazing. His hand writing is like
copper plate, rarely showing an altera-
ton, and it is the delight OF the print
ers. Five long columns of solid type,
including extracts, is his weekly STINT,
in the Tribune, which would be a task
for many a younger man. In addition
to this, he is assisting Mr.. Dana in edit
ing the revised edition of the new
American Cyclopedia, and his share of
this work, each week, would puzzle
most men to attend to. Mr.. Dana
writes as much for the San as Mr.. Rip
ley does for the Tribune, but he employs
stenographer, which is a great help.
The Suns editorial page is all dictated
or inspired by him, and il addition he
looks over most OF the exchanges, re-
ceiyes scores of visitors, and does other
odds and ends Of work, which together
amounts TO consid rable. Mr.. Chamber
lain, of the World, is another hard
woi ker, as is evident from the long
series of mastery leading articles which
he has written for the World, notably in
last three months. 1t is saIo that he
and w. Ii. Hulburt would think moth
ing of filling the editorial page Of that
paper at any time on pinch with their
own writing, and as 1T is, tie quantity
and quality of their articles are simply
wonderful

Panthers In the Streets.

A short time since, when we reported
that couple of panthers had been
prowling about the city, the statement
seemed so improbable that many con
cluded that it was humbug or "dog
story" They could not be made to be-
lieve that panthers would leave the
swamps and piowl about the streets OF
a city, seeking food in the shape of a
good fat piccaninny. To all such un.
believers, we will state that Capt. Bar.
low, Chief Of Police, has informed u
that two wild panthers were seen Thurs
day night at the corner of George and
Palmetto streets. They were moving
along quite leisurely, but ball from n
policeman's pistol caused them to &C
CELEBRATE their speed, and they ran down
George street 10 Church, then up Church
and disappeared. One was quite large
and the other small. In the morning
the tracks were examined by expe-
rienced hunters, and the report of the
policeman confirmed. This is reliable,
and not joke, and it would be well for
the sportsmen of the city to hunt up
the animals before they succeed in doing
any mischief Mobile Register.

SIR: An article appears in the 7rib

Wheat Fields in California" Thinking
you would like some further informa.
ton on the subject, give it. The
largest field on the San Joaquin river is
thirty.five miles long on one side, and,
on the other, fifty miles, with an aver.
age width, on each side, of eight miles.
Here, then, we have wheat field Of,
say, ~ by l6 miles, containing GU
square miles, or 430 $50 acres. II is adj
united that this will yield l6 bushels to
the acre this year, thus producing
6,SSl $50 bushels of wheat, or more
than 206 43S tons. 1t will require a
train of cars nearly 200 miles long to
move the wheat grown on this one
wheat-field. John Mitch-ll's bill of ex-
