The Imperial Purple,

A short time ago, an extensive heap
OF refuse shells was discovered near
Athens. and supposed to be a kitchen
hidden. Subsequent investigation
proved that the heap consisted entirely
OF species of murex and other shells
which yield the famous dye known as
the Tyrian purple. This fact induced
the conclusion that here was the site
of an ancient dyeing establishment. A
single shell of the murex gives but a
diminutlve drop of the secretion, con-
sequently large numbers are consumed
in the production of but small amount
of dye, which made it very precious.
In Cicero's time pound of wool color
ed with this, the only purple known to
the ancients, cost about $175. Because
Of it's great beauty and and high cost,
purple became the symbol of Imperial
power. Ontranto, the ancient Tarentum,
was one of the great murex- fisheries of
the Romans, and large number of dye
ing establishments we're located there.
For several centuries after the fall of
the Roman Empire and the decline OF
the murex-fsheries, purple was an un-
known color in Europe.

The Approaching Total Eclipse OF the
San.

Scarcely has the harvest of observa-
tons from the transit of Venus expedi-
tons been garnered when the restless
spirit OF astronomic inquiry is to be
diverted toward the approaching eclipse
of the sun. This eclipse will be total.
and will occur On the 9TH of next April,
when, according to the English astron-
omer Hind, there will be the best op-
portunity for the observation of totality
likely to be offered till toward the close
Of the century. Although the course
OF the central line in eclipse is
principally a sea track, fine opportu.
mites for observing it will be had dur
ing its passage from the Nicobar
Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, to Siam.
The central eclipse, it is computed,
passing from the Nicobars crosses Ben
timex Island, where the maximum
period of totality will be found four
minutes end seventeen seconds. Al
several other adjacent insular stations
the phenomenon will be observable for
about the same space of time. The
King of Siam has heartily invited Brit
ish and other astronomers to make the
observations within his dominions and
volunteered to extend them every facil-
ity and hospitality.

Telegraph Machines Worked by Air.

An account is published Of an inter-
esting exhibition oftelegraph machines,
worked exclusively by air, lately gwen
In London by Mr.. Guitars, the inven-
tor. A number of different instruments
were on view. The impulse is pro-
duced at one end Of tube by the oper-
ator, and performs the mechanical
work of the other end, either by the
ringing of bell or turning a needle
round a dial. A rapidity and pre-
cision can be made equal to electric
telegraph, the conducting tube being
able to be laid under OF over cover, in
the same manner as an ordinary tele-
graph. Attached to the each machine
Is bell and dial, which drives the air
through pipe to the other operator.
As the lever is moved up and down, the
dlal, which stands where the message is
desSned for, registers whatever the
word may be. Each dial is supplied
with needle; and as each squirt Of air
presses against the words of the
machine, the needle is moved exactly
the number of times the lever is pressed.
Each instrument can receive or send a
message about 400 yards, and is, there

THE EMMA NINE DISGRACE.
Suit Brought by the English Stocl1hol der
for $1,000, 600.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The revelations concerning the man
ner in which the scheme known as the
Emma Silver Mining Company of Utah
was foated, and afterward anchored
upon too confiding English public,
have not ceased to be subject of won
der and discussion in financial circles.
The developments have occupied col
umns III the English press, and the oft
told tale of fraud has been waited from
one end of the world to the other, until
the g Emma mine has come to be re-
garded as Synonymous with unblushing
dishonesty and shameless duplicity.
A short time ago the English stock
holders, who had been defrauded, di-
rected their President and Solicitor to
come to this country and make an ex-
animation of their property.
These gentlemen came here and
went to Utah. where they made an in
vestigation. Upon their return to this
city they instructed Shipman, Bal W,
Larocque & Mcfarland, the attorn s
of the Erie Railway Company, to tak
proceedings against the man who, as
they alleged, had swindled their Eng
lish constituents. Accordingly, the
lawyers Immediately began suit
against Trenor ". Park, II. FL. Baxter,
and William NJ. Stewart for So, 900, 900,
In the name of the Emma Silver Mining
Company. The papers have been pre-
pared, and summons was served on
Mr.. Park just before he left the city for
California, on tour of inspection of
some other mining property which h
has there.
The complaint charges the defendant
with having fraudulently obtained the
money of the plaintiffs on willfully false
statements of the value of the Emma
property, based upon mendacious re-
port of Professor Benjamin Silliman,
who, it is asserted, was to obtain a
large fee contingent upon favorable
report. The complaint narrates the
manner In which the Emma Mining
Company was organized and the stock
afterward foated on the London mar
ket by the aid of Baron Grant and
others associated with him. Two of the
defendants are well known in Wall
with the New York, Boston and Mon
treal railroad, mas been a Director OF
of the of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, and is now President Of the
Panama Railroad. H. Fl. Baxter is also
a Wall-street man, and was associated
with Mr.. Stockwell in the Pacific Mail
direction, and was very prominent by
reason of his speculations in Pacific
Mail direction, and was very prominent
by reason of his speculations in Pacific
Mail at that time. William NJ. Stewart
is one Of the present Senators of the
United States from Nevada.

Wishing and Having.
BY L. H. STODDARD,


IF to wish and to have were one, my dear,
You would be sitting now
With not a care in your tender heart. -
Not wrinkle upon your brow;
The clock of time would go back with YOU
All the years you have been my wife,
Till it's golden hands had pointed out
The happiest hour of your life:
would stop them at that immortal hour;
The clock should no longer run;
You could not be sad, and sick and old
If to wish and to have were one
You are not here in the winter, my love,
The snow is not whirling down:
You are in the heart of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town;
patter of little feet in the leaves;
beautiful boy at your side;
He is gathering flowers in the shady hooks
1t was but a dream that he died
Keep hold of his hands, and sing toAhim,
No mother under the sun
Has such a seraphic child as yours
If to wish and to have are one. @
Methinks I am with you there, dear wife,
In that old house by the sea
/ have flown to you as the bluebird flies
To his mate in the poplar tree.
A sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in it book in hand #Es#
boat is standing in for the beach;
Its keel now CRATES on the sand:
Your brothers are coming-two manly men,
Whose lives have only begun;
Their days will be long IN the land, dear heart -
If to wish and to have are one.
If to wish and to have were one. all me!
| would not be old and poor,
But young and prosperous gentleman,
With never dun at the door;
There would be no past to bewail. my love,
There would be no future to dread;
Your brothers would be live men again,
And my boy would not be dead.
Perhaps it viii all come right at last;
1t may be when all is done,
We shall be together in some good world,
Where to wish and to have are one.
