THE BELLS OF sHANDON,

Sabata psngc;
FHnera plango;
Solemnia clangO.
Inscription on an Old bell.
With deep affection
And recollection
Ioiten think Of
Those Shandon bells.
Whose sound 30 wild would
In the days Of childhood,
Fling around my cradle
Their magic spells.
On this ponder
WheIe'er l wander,
And thus grow fOnder.
Sweet Cork. of thee
With thy bells of Shandon
That sound So grand on
The pleasant waters
OF the river Lee.
I've heard bells Ginning
Full MANY chime in,
TOihng sublime in
Cathedral shrine,
While at glib rate
Brass tongues would vibrate;
But all their music
Spoke naught like thine.
fOl memory, OWelIlLS
ON each proud swelling
0f thy btlfry, knelling
It's bold notes tree,
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters
OF the river Lee.
I've heard bells tOiling,
Old Adrian's Mole in,
Their thunder rolling
From the Vatican,-
And cymbals glorious
Swinging uprOariOus
In the gorgeous turrets
OF NOtre Dame;
But thy sounds were sweeter
Than the dome of Peter
filings DER the Tiber,
PeaiiDg solemnly.
OH the De lis of Shandon
Soand far more grad on
The pleasant waters
Of the river Lee.
The res bell in Moscow;
While on tower and kiosk o
In st. Sophia
The Turkman gets,
And loud in air
Calls men to prayer,
From the taperlng summit
OF tall minarets.
Such empty phantom

But there's an anthem
More dear to re,

however, the wind was in a favorable dlrec-

very quiet man, his opinion of the liquor
trade was very decided.
AS the saloon was of implanted boards,
and plastered, the flames made rapid
progress; so that Jim Slipson, the proprie-
tor, had barely time to save two or three
armfuls Of bottles. With these he retired
TO the opposite side of the street, where the
spectators stood; and he was mournfully
contemplating the effect of caloric upon
alcohol, when he suddenly started, and ex-
claimed:
Good God Ipjin Mary's in the loft
over the saloon!'

had joined the crowd.
"She's-well, not exactly one of your
kind, deac'n" replied Jim. "She come las

sighed the deacon.
"Well," said Jim, prudently massing on
his front most of his outlying bottles, Il

membering the deacon's groundwork of
belief, and treating it with polite Difference.
"She don't intend to risk it now, at any

splendid candor in him that excites ad-
miration even in his adversaries, and, as
the Simmons case denotes, such adver-

him. What other public man in the
Union could have rallied the McCreerys

cratic mind, that delights in the name of
Butler as text for wrath, is aghast at the

national impotence for development,

men, not for their widowed punctilios,
but for their activity, usefulness and hon.

Our Torpedo Beats.
From the Bonton Globe

The launch of the torpedo boat atthe
Boston Navy Yard makes = new era in
the history of naval warfare. No gov
ernment except our own has yet sue
sessfully attempted the construction of
boats devoted especially to torpedo
service and, consequently, the boat
recently launched at Brooklyn and that
just placed in the water here are the
only vessels of the kind in the world.
The Boston boat will carry twenty five
or thirty torpedoes of the most approx
ed plan, each weighing about two or
three hundred pounds, and each calcr-
lated to be capable Of destroying an
ordinary man-of-war. The torpedoes
are to be attached, one at q time, to an
iron shaft, running out forward, and
can be exploded at any moment. The
difficulty in arranging torpedo boat
80 as to insure the destruction of IN
enemy's vessel, without injuring the
boat, has been overcome it being dis
covered that the radius of the circle of
immediate effect of q torpedo with q
one hundred pound charge is about
fourteen feet, It only requires that the
shaft to which the torpedo is affixed
shall extend that distance beyond the
prov of the boat to insure the desired
result. All other difficulties having
been already met, the success of this
new method of naval warfare is regard
ed ~ assured.

A Railroad Race.

As the Erie Railroad and the Dele
ware, Lackawanna and Western, from
Great Bend to Bringhamton, distance
fourteen miles, run along the Susque-
hanna River on. oppsite sides within
plain view of each other, admirable
opportunity for trial of speed between
two rival roads is afforded, and not un-
frequently improved. Last week one
of these exciting races transpired, the
contestants being the fast passenger
trains which leave Binghamton, East
ward bound, about one o'clock in the
afternoon. When within two miles of
Great Bend, the D. L. & w. r. r. train
had gained slight advantage, being a
length ahead. With hands on the throt-
ties the engineers stood ut their posts,
each hastily glancing over the river at
his opponent, and alternately letting
more steam as one gained speed upon
the other. Thus they whirled along at
q fearful rate, the driving wheels spin
ming like top, while amid the flying
clouds of smoke and dust and the nm.
broken rattle of the cars, the passen.
gers of each train, inspired with spirit
of rivalry, waved their handkerchief
and shouted over the river in tones OF
defiance. Making the trip more quick.
" than ever before known to eithe,
road, they reached the Bend without g
decisive victory for either.-Montrost

The annual report of the Massachu-
setts Labor Bureau. just issued, con-
tains many interesting statements
concerning the employment of children:
The report says that the Bureau had
difficulty in obtaining answers to its
letters of inquiry in very large num-
Der of cases. Twenty-one towns, how
ever, reported l. $50 children under ten
employed, while twenty-eigh more re-
ported that such children were employed,
but gave no numbers. Twenty-eight
towns reported l, ,723 children from ten
the legal amount of schooling, and
twenty-nine towns reported children
thus employed, but gave no numbers.
These figures, in the opinion of the
Bureau, very inadequately represent
the number of children really employed.
Quite number of towns and cities have
half-time and evening schools. "Upon
this subject Of the education of mill
children" says the report, "there can
be but one opinion-that the matter is
not attended to, either by the State or
local authorities; that legislation is
needed to compel attendance, to punish
illegal employment of children, and to
provide proper schools for the instruc-
tion Of operatives along with work.
Personally" it continues, 1--WE believe
in the most extreme legislation in this
direction, and, could We have the power
given us, we would not allow q girl un-
der sixteen years of age to be employed
in any kind of factory or workshop.
If she could be free till she reached the
age of twenty; mankind would be the
gamer. This is archaeological matter,
and the result of our investigation of
facts in this connection, and our careful
consideration OF the subject, leads us
to express the hope that, if no other
subject connected with the labor ques-
ton is thought worthy of legislation,
this may be selected for Legislative
study and action. No argument is
necessary to convince people of the i'm
portance OF giving the years under six-
teen in a girls life to the growth and
development of her organization, on the
healthy condition of which so much de-
pends-her own health, happiness, and
usefulness, not only to herself, but to
those dependent upon her, either for
care or ellSteDanCo"

A French Enoch Arden.

A case resembling that Of Enoch
Arden has turned up in the Saone-at-
Loire. A young man named Mariner,
who had been married only = few
months when the war broke out, joined
the Mobiles of the Vosges, and was
taken prisoner. On arriving in Prussia
he was sentenced to several years' i'm
prisonment for striking his guard.
During his captivity he wrote often to
his wife, but receiving no reply, con-
cluded that his letters were not for
warded or that his wife wasdead. When
he was taken prisoner he threw away
his knapsack, which was picked up and
worn by comrade, who managed to
escape, but who was subsequently kill
ed In another engagement. This KNAPP
sack contained the papers Of Mariner,
which were forwarded to his wife q the
last remains of her husband. The
young widow after . few months of
grief, took . second husband. Since
then Mariner, having obtained . par
don, was allowed to return to France,
and, ON reaching his native cottage,
found it occupied by another, and
child of which he was not the father.
Here the drama ends for the present.
