lar isolation, trained hor to read tho swift and
constant changes that pass over t.ho sea, aud
earth, and sky. Deprived for tho most part OF
the cou,panionahip Ct human beings, outside tho
circle Of her fathers family, she learned to make
f1ionls Of the stars, the clouds, tho waves, tho
storms tue flowers, and the BIRDS, and to inter-
prot their speech a. 1t Is nttored, in color, IN

enan silence Of tho midnight, sre all reproduced
In her song. Every hour Of tho day, aud eyory

Tho beauty Of Mrs. Thaxter'a vorae has found

'tMr. Grant, Of the Grant Locomotive
Works, at Paterson, N. J., says the firm
10 10 trouble, but has not failed or sus-
pended. They entered into q contract
with the Russian Government, involving
nearly 100000, to furnish locomotives
within certain time, with heavy penal
ties In case Of non fulhllment. He had
been employing about nine hundred men
on this work, but found that he would
not be able to complete 1t within the time
limited by the contract, and applied TO
the Russian Government for an extension,
but the answer returned was evasiye and
unsatisfactory. The penalties, II enforced,
would amount TO about $500 600, and they
did NOT feel justified in going on with the
work under contract with go great risk
hanging over lL>n. Therefore they had
been Obliged 10 order the foreman 10 dis.
charge the workmen until further notice.
Mr Grant proposes TO start for 81. Peters.
burg on Saturday and endeavor 10 make
q compromise with the Russian authori-
ties, and then proceed with the work.
