THEN AND now.

Two figures by the window.
Watching the GriT ed snow
Lying III rosC2Te =picndor
Under the sunsets glow.
One tall and grave and many.
His dark eyes SOftened rays
Fe.i on the fair face urO0ping
Beneath their tender gaze.
His warm clasp seemed 10 GHaer
About her little hand,
" lille on her slender finger
He slipped a golden band.
Gray shadows spread and deepened
Over the western light,
Hiding its golden beauty
Warming of coming night.
But ne'er a cloud of sadness,
Or fear least they mig ht part,
Kept back the song upSpTlnging
In each devoted heart.
One figure at the window,
Watching the drifted snow
Lying i'll purple SplendOr
Beneath the sunset glow.
Gone from her cheek the bushes,
The gi,ld light from her eye;
Between her white lips f1utterS
One heavy, hopeless sign.
Out in the white field yonder,
Deep under drifted snow,
Unchilled by falling shadows,
Unwarned by sunsets glow
There lies the only lover
Her heart can ever know,
Who fondiy bent above her
Bot one short year ago.

A LARGE CRANBERRY FARM IN WIS
CoNs1N.-The Baraboo Republic men
tons the existence at that place of an
Incorporated Stock Company, composed
of Samuel Klauber, of Madison, and
Terrell Thomas and G. A. Summer, of
Baraboo, with a capital of Ss25, 600.
The company have purchased l,4o5
acres of land in Jackson county. and IN
tend making of it cranberry farm.
The most of the tract IS natural cram
berry marsh. About 70 acres Of the
margin, together with an island within
the marsh, are covered with pine timber.
They propose erecting building for
the sorting, cleaning and packing of Der
ries. and leading to it will build rail
way running diagonally through the
tract. with branches leading to the dis
tant portions. For the flooding. a
number of flooding dams are to be pro-
vided, which viii be supplied from a
neighboring creek, under law OF the
State which permits the use of the water
of streams for Agricultural purposes.
Ten or dozen buildings for the use CT
the men employed will also be put up.
The tract is located within few miles
of two different railroad stations. We
see no reason why cranberry culture
should not be made profitable IN the
West, in naturally favorable locations.
The berries are al ways in good demand
for both home and foreign consump-

MINING BY THE SUTRO TUNNEL. e
Sutro tunnel often mentioned in connec-
ton with the subject of Nevada mining
is an unfinished work of unappreciated
magnitude. The famous Comstock lode
is in a assure several miles long and Of
unknown depth. Over 100000, 900
worth of gold has been taken out of it.
To reach the rich deposits shafts are sunk
all along the vein, and some of them are
1900 feet deep. The lowest mines are
the most productive, but the air in them
is so hot that the miners can only work
on the system of five minutes work fol-
lowed. by fifteen Of rest. This makes
mining there very uncomfortable and
expensive. Mr.. Sutro's palm is to run a
tunnel from the foot of the mountain,
meeting the lode at right angles, and
then following it, the total length being
about eight miles. This would furnish
a handler outlet for the ore, besides
draining and ventilating the mines. The
tunnel. which is now about third done,
is fourteen feet wide by ten high, and
Will cost about eight millions. The
company will get royalty of two dol
lars ton from the miners, and the own
ership Of any mineral lodes which the
tunnel may strike on the way to the Com
stock mines.

ENOUGH OF TT.

Jackson Green is fourteen years old,
and he lives on Sixth street. The other
day while reading a dime novel, his
grandfather came in with the paper and
asked him to read the Presidents mes
sage. It irritated Jackson to break off
just where the trapper was going to be
scalped, SO he made up his mind to
have revenge on his grandfather. He
took up the paper and started off as fol-
lows:
1.-THE business of the Patent Office
shows a steady increase. Since 1868
over 155, 900 patents have been issued.
Officer Deck, of the station house, wants
it distinctly understood that he is is not
the Deck confined there few days
since as lunatic.
s'Whatr' eclaimed the old man, ssis
that the nlessage?"
'sRight here, every word of it." re-
piled Jack. And he continued:
''The business Of the Agricultural
Bureau is rapidly growing, and the
highest prize in a Chinese lottery is
twenty five cents, and the man who
draws it has his name in the paper, and
is looked upon as a heap of a fellow"
''What! what is that?" roared the old
man. 81 never heard of such mes
sage as that"
ST can't help it, replied Jackson,
ssyou asked to read the Presidents mes
sage, and I'm reading it. And he
went on:
During the year, 5,758 new applica-
tons for army invalid pensions were
allowed at an aggregate annual rate Of
$39, 1882, and kerosene oil; it cleanses,
adds polish, and preserves from the
ravages of insects -
'sLor' save me but I never heard of
the likes beforel'' exclaimed the old
man. ''I've read every Presidents mes
sage since Jackson's time, but I never
saw anything like this
"Well, [ didn't write the message, -
replied Jackson, and he continued:
'sDuring the year, 1854, 314 acres of
the public domains were certified to
railroads, against over six million acres
the preceding year, and you will save
money by buying your Christmas pres
ents in the brick block, fine toys OF
every description at reduced prices.
jackson Green, does that message
read that way!" asked the old man.
ssYou don't suppose I'd lie to you do
your" inquired Jackson, putting on an
injured look.
ssWen it seems singular unused the
old man. 'I shouldn't wonder if Grant
was tired when he wrote that"
Jackson went on
ssThere are 1880 survivors Of the
war of 1872 on the pension rolls, at a
total annaul rate Of 81, 691, $40, and still
another lot of those one dollar felt skirts
they go like hot cakes On cold NOR
ming"
'sHold on Jackson-stop right there y
said the old man as he rose up. "You
needn't read another word of that mes
sage. If General Grant thinks that he
can insult the American people with i'm
punity, he will find himself mistaken.
You let this be an awful example to you
never to taste Intoxicating drinks
Jackson tossed the paper away and
resumed his dime novel, while the old
gent leaned back and pondered on the
depreciation OF men in high places.

the sewers were sufficiently diluted with
water to render the ordeal endurable,
and next, the progress was facilitated
bv floating with the tide. The point
selected for his plunge into the water
was hidden from the view Of the specta-
tors at the bridge, and they were, there
fore, somewhat surprised and perhaps a
little disappointed when the black form
rounded the bend just beyound, paddl-
inc toward them feet foremost.
When he neared the multitude he I'M
furled the Stars and Stripes, and max
ing use of his paddle as flagstaff, he
hoisted and waved aloft the beloved
emblem of his nationality. This is not,
it appears, any s'decline Of patriotism =
on the part of the Yankees, If their
fondness for displaying on all possible
occasions their beautiful star-spangled
banner can be taken as proof. 1t is a
weakness with them. Every little child
in the States carries proudly his tiny
flag on Independence day, and the an
niversary would not be considered as
celebrated without Haunting it. So
Captain Boynton, while sporting in
British waters, makes his little ensign
play no inconsiderable part in his per-
formances. Now he raises it with the
stars reversed, as a flag Of distress;
again he assumes perpendicular attl-
tude and waves it as il IN triumph over
the watery element; and it may be that
sometimes, with quite commendable
pride, he unfurls it as the national
colors of his country, to evoke the SYM
pathies of a people SO many of whose
relations have found home in the great
republic. At all events, the flag was a
signal for hearty cheers. He continued
to paddle quickly along, the assemblage
following and increasing until all the
bridges were densely crowded and
quays were lined with thick fringe Of
sight-seers, who evidently felt deep in
terest in the swimmers movements. At
many points the traffic was brought to a
stand-still, and even the tram-cars were
blocked.
Shortly after the above exhibition,
Captain Boynton visited Liverpool and
London, where he made repeated trials
of the dress, and on the 9Th of the pres
ent month he had the supreme satisfac-
ton of appearing with his apparatus in
the harbor Of Cowes, before the Queen,
who Witnessed the exhibition from the
Yacht Victoria and Albert. Although a
heavy gale was blowing the experiments
were satisfactory, and Boynton was per-
sonally thanked by Her Majesty, who
ordered the life-saving equipments for
the royal yacht.
Captain Boynton is aDoat g ears of
age, and when he left New lork last
October weighed $50 pounds, and was
as fine specimen of american manhood
as was ever looked upon. Of good
height and powerful frame, he seemed
the embodiment of muscular and con-
stitutional perfection. He then had a
full, round, clearly-shaven face, about
which smile was constantly playing,
and was confident of success. Bidding
the writer good-by he said, 81 shall soon
be back; I must come back right away,
for my wife doesn't even know that I
am going

mode of utilizing these hpsks is to
