Drink and Reconciliation.
From the n. Y. Tribune.

In the prospect that drinks are about
to become patriotic, Prohibition seems
further off than ever. Little as we NAV
like it, the fact remains that national
reconciliation in the next year or two
threatens to be largely matter of bev-
erages. Old soldiers want to wash their
resentment away. One of the South
Carolina soldiers in Boston, drinking
with some friends the day after the
Bunker Hill centennial, exhibited a
marked interest in the entrance OF a
stranger and eyed him closely. Soon
the Carolinian asked him if he knew
him. .No." Were you not in the
warp eyes" .'And you were once
stationed at such a placer" Eyes. :"
"And took part in such a skirrnish 2"
yes" "Well, I thought 50, J" said the
Southerner, lifting his hat and disclos-
ing large scar on his forehead; ssthere
is your sabre mark, my boy. Come up
aud take drink" And then wounder
and wounded took centennial cock
tail.

only she would bloom for him! Would

spoke a new language from that day,
and they found not the slightest diff
Guilty in expressing themselves in it,
as had been sometimes the case in Ger
man. A year after all this behold Peter
and Mrs Brown, nee Godiva, at home;
there is a charming little library open
ing from their ..drawing-room, a wood
fire enjoys itself on the hearth and
glows over hyacinths which are opening
in heavy spikes of white and cream
colored flowers; below the fire Mr.
Peter smokes his cigar and lazily tries
to puff the smoke through the fur of an
unoffending cat near him while he re-
marks to Mrs. Brown that it's singular
cats shouldn't like cigar smoke; then
relapses into silence. "Well?" said
Godiva. !" Yes, dear, I was thinking
just then by queer train Of thought
first of this cats sneezing then of colds
in ones head, then of a funny little
thing that happened to me once in the
cars when 1 was coming in town. Did
I ever tell you about the young woman
that carried off my pocket--hullo! eh p
as Godiva biusned suddenly and nestled
in her chair. $50 on, DEAR" said she
calmly. So Peter related the tale twice
told, concluding with, "She was really a
very pretty young woman, too, Puss.
Perhaps 1 should have called on her if
1 had known where she lived, or if
had not gone to the Dairy theatricals,
met you, and tumbled into matrimony
in consequence. Who knows what

The cigar rings assembled regularly
and the smoker appeared to reflect on
past visions, but Mr.. Brown kept de-
mure silence. What in the world are

wife was stirred by jealousy. "Think'

Peter. Commend me to the DISCERN
ment of men Did you never really
discover till this morning that youl
shifting friend and your wife was one
and the same? Yes, dear, I'm the

and producing from her work table
small white packet which she unfoldeo
as she approached her wide eyed hus

Choice Smoking.
From the Detroit Free Press.

A very interesting incident in connec-
ton with the Bunker Hill Centennial
was the opening of a box of cigars
manufactured in 17O6 by Cyrus Green
afterwards of Revolutionary fame), at
tobacco store on fremont street, Bos-
ton. The cigars were found in good
state of preservation, and of fine flavor.
Three of the cigars were forwarded to
President Grant. The rest were again
repacked in an alright case, with a
COPY of the Boston Herald containing
an account of the celebration, and
marked: "This box is not to be opened
until the second Centenary anniversary
of the Battle Of Bunker HILL"

ssIhato for q Senator.

A Washington correspondent writes of
a certain ex-offcial of the Treasury
One evening, while he was enjoying the
honors accruing to United States
Senator, he met a young lady quite no.
ted for her fearless witticisms, and
upon being introduced to her Ae COM
menced running race with her as to
who could say the sharpest things. The
young lady understood him to be doc
tor somebody, until, after she had
thrust him to the wall with some point
ed remark, he turned and said: SIS
that the manner in which you are accus

replied the young lady, not at all abash-

if they possess not sufficient dignity to
command it by their conduct without
appealing to their insignia of rank as
cloak of protection. The Senator re-

Dimensions of Ocean Waves.

We are indebted to DR.. Scroresby for
the following interesting facts with re-
gard to the length and height of ocean
waves The mean height Of waves in
the Atlantic, driven by westerly gale,
is Is feet. The greatest recorded height
OF wave In the North Atlantic, from
the trough to the crest, is 43 feet. liz
northwest gales, waves 40 feet in height
have been measured eff the Cape OF.
Good Hope. while those off Cape Horn
were 80 feet high. The velocity of
ocean storm waves in the North Allan
tic is about 80 miles an hour, and that
recorded by Capt. Wilkes for the Pacific
Ocean 264 miles. In an Atlantic storm
the breadth of the waves, measured
from crest to crest, is about 600 feet.

The Wanderer.

Lines ,crtten on recrossiaag the Rocky Noun
tains IN sointer, after many gears.
ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN c. FREMONT.
Long years ago 1 wandered here,
In the midsummer of the year
Lifes summer, too;
A score of horsemen here we rode,
The mountain world it's glories showed,
All fair to view. 80
These scenes, in glowing colors drest,
Mirrored the life within my breast,
It's world of hope;
The whispering woods and fragrant breeze
That stirred the grass in verdant seas
On billowy slope
And glistening crag in sunlit sky.
Mid snowy clouds piled mountains high,
Were joys to me;
NY path was DER the prairie wide.
Or here on grander mountain-side,
To choose all free. -,
The rose that waved in morning air,
And spread it's dewy fragrance there
In careless bloom,
Gave to my heart it's ruddiest hue,
Ger my glad life its color threw
And sweet perfume.
Now changed the scene and changed the eyes
That here once looked on glowing skies,
Where summer smiled;
These riven trees and wind-swept plain
Now show the winters dread domain,
Its fury wild.
The rocks rise black from storm-packed snow.
All checked the rivers pleasant flow,
Vanished the bloom;
These drearv wastes of frozen plain
Reflect my bosoms life again,
Now lonesome. gloom.
he buoyant hopes and busy life
Have ended all in hateful strife
And thwarted AIM
The worlds rude contact killed the rose;
No more It's radiant color shows
False roads to fame.
Backward, amid the twilight glow
Some lingering spots yet brightly show
On hard roads won.
Where still some grand peaks mark the way
Touched by the light of the parting day
And memory's sun.
But here thick clouds the mountain hide,
The dim horizon, bleak and wide,
No pathway shows
And rising gusts, and darkening sky,
Tell Of that night that cometh, nigh
The brief days close.

New CALEDONIA feels the benefit of
the labor of her Paris convicts. The
cigarettes manufactured there with the
native tobacco are in great demand at
Sidney and Melbourne, and are prefer
red in all Australia to the similar pro-
auctions of the English colony. They
are already being exported to the Cape,
to India, and Japan.

The Wave.

The wave from the ocean discovered
Goes murmuring through valley and noun
tain;
pilgrim it lies in the river,
prisoner it lies in the fountain;
Signing and moaning forever
I'LL hoarse to the ocean it flows;
lie ocean, whence first it assembled,
And where. it's long wanderlngs ended,
Its hope is at last to repose.

Anacd0te of Don Alfonso.

An anecdote has lately been going the
rounds about a King of Spain, who, it is
whispered, is no other than the young
Don Alfonzo XII. It seems that, while
on board vessel on his way to his do
n1inions, one of his newly introduced
mobiles presented himself before his
sovereign to impart some important
piece Of information. The young King
listened, and then began his reply.
Unfortunately, just at that moment, the
ship began to roll in most agonizing
fashion. The unhappy courier felt very,
very i'll, and finally to conceal his
misery from the King, he was forced to
hide his face in his hat. Don Alfonso,
while continuing his discourse, furtively
observed all that was going on, and,
when he judged that the crisis was pass
ed, he interrupted himself suddenly.
s Count. he said, in most majestic
tones. "you forget that you are gran
dee of Spain. Put on your hat COM
mand YOU |"
