AWAIT, Tenn, March 20, 1875.
Editor Home Journal:
Even in Il quiet little village the eff
fects Of energy. enterprise and public
spirit are alike very perceptible, as evil
denccd by my first little communication,
which has called forth another from Cit
izcn of Await" to add to that which my
first contained. Thus it ever is:with every
village, town, city, and neighbOrhood-
whenever ore advances an idea, either in
agriculture or science, another, by having
his thoughts directed thereto, is led to eX-
press himself upon what may have es-
capped the notice of the former. And nc
doubt, as the communication from 'Citi-
eel of Await calls to memory that which
| forgot, this will bring to memsry other
species of industry in our village and vi
entity not mentioned or thought of by
either OF us; and, as an illustration,
strange to say, both communications
omitted to inform the readers of your
very valuable paper Of the most important
convenience we, the citizens Of Await, en-
joy-that is: Our Gas Works, now in full
operation, though they sometimes get out
of running order by the awkward putting
in of the s%ill-valves. But, notwithstanding
this deficiency, we are cheered on in our
industrial pursuits even by the night time
all owing to the efficiency Of the Superir-
tendent Of the Gas Works, who has an x
periencc In the business of thirty-tive OF
forty years. By noticing the efficiency o
this Superintendent, and with what tacili'
ty he sets all things to right, l am more
forcibly impressed with the truth of thu
old saying, Every man to his calling;'
for we cannot fail to observe the different
capacities of men; also that those only are
successful who devote their whole tint
and energy to the IL thing-a', for in
stance. the manufacturing and controlling
of .gas' to the exclusion of everything
else--merchandizing, farming, &C., &c.

THE UNKNOWN TONGUE.
BIT JOAQUIN MILLER.

Not a baby! / knew her in days of old
You doubt that i lived in land made fair
With many soft moons, and was m ated there?
Now mark you'll Isaw but to-day on the street
A sweet girl-baby, whose delicate feet
AS yet upon ear n took but uncertain hold;
Yet she carried q doll, and she toddled alone,
And she talk ed to that dol in a tongue her own.
The sweet little stranger! why, her face still
bore
The look OF the people from her far star shore.
Ahr you doubt me still. Then listen: While
you
Have looked to the earth for gold, why, L.
have looked TO the steps of the starry sky.
And which. indeed, had the fairer view
OF the infinite things, the dreamer or you?
How blind be men when they Will not see!
Ifmen must look in the dust, or look,
At best, with the eyes bound down To a book,
Why, who shall deny that 1t comes to me
To sail white ships through the ether sea?
Yea, / am a dreamer. Yet while you dream
Then am awake. When a child back through
Toe gates of the past peered, and knew
The land had lived in. i saw a broad stream
Saw rainbows that eompassed a world in their
reach;
saw my beloved go down on the beach;
Saw her lean to this.earth, saw her looking for
AS do shipmen look from their ships at sea- Q
The sweet girl-baby! Why, that unknown
Is the tongue she has talked since the stars were
young.

A greenback club, on the Buchanan Plan,

and bankruptcy OF all productive enterprise,
the enforced idleness Of thousands OF honest,
Of Taues and Pesve ef
taxation, the vast burden Of public and
private debt relatively increased by the de-
preston of all other values; all produced, as we
believe, by a mistaken policy OF noancial legls-

and voters of the city OF Indianapolis and vi
cinity, do unite IN the following demands upon
the congress OF the United States.
First. The immediate and unconditional re-
peal of the resumption act OF January II. lS75,
commonly known as the sherman bill.
Second The permanent retirement OF all
national banK notes, and the sdbsu-
tntion therefor of national legal-tender paper
money. TO be issued directly from the treasury
o. the United States.
g. The re-funding OF al least portion of the
present national bonded debt into bonds bear
ing lower rate of interest, say 81 per cent.
per annum, intercon vertibe with national
legal-tender paper money at the pleasure OF the
no. der.
And we further unite in a call for mass
meeting to be held at Indianaolis December LIST,
1873 in furtherance OF these demands.

The Nathan Murder.

The Chicago Times publishes state ment obtained from prisoner named Billy Forester, who is serving out 0 term of ten years in the State peniten- tiary at Joliet for the crime of burglary. The statement is in substance that he (Forrester) is fully cognizant of the facts of the Nathan murder that, although be cannot point out the man who struck the blow, he can name the three pro- fessional burglars who attempted, with the cooperation and cognizance of cer- tain high officials in New York, to open the safe in the Nathan mansion, and who, while making this attempt, reused MT. Nathan, and between them, in order to escape, killed him with the iron dog which they were using as professional tool. He refuses to reveal the names of these parties, because he fears that this will interfere with his plan of bringing them to justice and revenging himself on them for their persistent persecution of himself. Should he secure pardon, as he hopes to do, he will make this the object of his life. He affirms that the relatives of the murdered man had no knowledge whatever of the way in which he came to his death, and he denies the truth of the stories recently published in New York and elsewhere concerning the murder. Forester is an old @xperi- enced burglar and knows the surround ings of the Nathan house perfectly. He submitted diagram in connection with this confession, and otherwise displayed familiarity with the scene of the assas- sination. His confession is long and circumstantial. It duplicates deeply some of the New York officials, but does not mention them by name.

The Sabbath in England.

The strict observance of the Sabbath by the English and their earnestness in religious matters are characteristic which forces itself upon strangers at tention very soon after his arrival, espe- cially if he has previously been on the continent. He sits down to his break fast in London on Sunday morning and finds only stale bread on the table. The bakers do not bake on Sundays. He calls for the Times and is informed that the 1Snaes is not published either on Sundays. He goes out into streets, which the day before were almost i'm passable from the crowd of pedestrians and vehicles, and sees nothing but bare pavements and closed shutters. In fact. on Bond street and Piccadilly, and all round that neighborhood, the shops close early on Saturday afternoon, as they do in New York in wholesale es- tablishments. The cabs ply as usual on Sundays, and some of the omnibuses {; there are trains on the Railways, and the liquor shops are open but with these exceptions, all London stops work. I cannot add that it all goes to church, but 8 good part of it does, and the rest amuses itself sadly "after the manner of the country" as Froissart said three hundred years ago. The English and Scotch are, I believe, the strictest Sab batharians in the world, and proximity to France, where Sunday is not even a holiday for multitudes, has not overcome their notions,

The Floods in Hungary.

w. l.. writes to the London Daily NeaOs: 'I have before me the Pestea' Lloyd. Its description of the floods in Hungary is heartrending. Hundreds of people have lost their lives, streets sud denly became streams, and people were carried off their legs without moment s notice and washed into the Danube Others were drowned in their houses. Thousands of people in positions of comparative ease have been rendered houseless or penniless. One of the banks in Buda has been washed away, cash and all. A great sewer burst upon which the building stood, the building fell in, and was washed away, and the great bank safe with all it's contents was washed one knows not where-most prob- ably into the Danube. The same paper of July gives an account of how Herr A. Askie rescued thirty-two persons, and narrowly escaped losing his own life. It may interest your readers to learn that this MT. Albert Askie is an Englshman, and holds an English passport granted to him in April, 1872, through Sir Andrew Buchanan, her Majestys Ambassador in Vienna. English bravery was thus rep resented at the scene of danger, and it is to be hoped that English charity will be as conspicuously prominent in reliev- ing the distressed"

Birds and Fruit.

A good deal of discussion occasion ally occurs on this subject, pro and con, and we sometimes get some light in the shape of facts-more commonly opinions and suggestions. At a late meeting of the Alton horticultural society, Dr. Hull said that some birds did more harm than good by destroying our insect friends. Hens, he remarked, do 8 great deal of scratching in gardens, but our real enemies, the stripped bug and squash bug, they do not touch. He said that fowls cannot be made to de- stroy the Colorado potato beetle; he once shut up some turkeys for time, and when let out hungry, they got 8 meal of the larv@ on a potato patch near, but it made them so sick that they never could be induced to touch another Colorado. At the same meeting, MT. Huggins said the bluebird catches the codling moth and the woodpecker eats the larve.

The "Life'' of Submarine Cables.

The English Money Market Peviesv says that a fact of some importance as tending to, if it does not entirely, dispel the prevailing impression that the "life !" of submarine cable is of limited na- ture was lately mentioned by MT. John Fender, M. P. He stated that the various sections of the Eastern system, with the exception of ashore end of shor- line at Lisbon which was undergoing re pair, were in perfect working order. But of far greater importance, as affect ing the future of submarine cable enter prise, was his announcement that the Suez and Alden section, which was laid in comparatively warm water, had inn proved in insulation by no less than thirty eight per cent, and the other cables of the Eastern company from forty-five to seventy seven per cent. in insulation power, which is of course the chief element in estimating their ca pacity for the transmission of messages. Mr. Fender further stated that the cables longest laid have improved the most.

Iron Ys. Wooden Ships.

A Boston ship owner who recently made voyage to Liverpool 1n an Eng fish steamer gives an unpleasant descrip- tion of the flimsy way in which certain of these steamers are built. Of course his strictures do not apply to all English builders or to all English iron ships, but they have bearing upon the ques- tion whether iron is after all the best material for ship building. No doubt iron steamers are cheaper than wooden steamers, since in two vessels of the same exterior dimensions, one built of wood and the other of iron, the latter has 8 far greater carrying capacity. Nevertheless, the iron ship is liable to accidents from which a wooden ship is safe, and the latter when cast ashore will stand strain that breaks the iron ship to pieces. Had either the Atlantic or Schiller been well-built wooden ships they would have held together until the greater part if not all of the passengers were saved. It is not impossible that the iron ships have had their day, and that return will be made to wooden ships. It is certain that the best Ameri- can ship builders and captains greatly prefer the latter.

The Best Country.

An Englishman was speaking one day to Scotchman. The Scotchman said ::
 cit is not mere national pride if say, what is 8 matter of fact, viz. : that my country is the finest in the world l"
 "Well," said John Bull, eff it is the finest, it is not the biggest! I suppose. you'll allow that England is bigger than Scotland?"
 "'Deed, sir," answered Sandy, "I'll allow nae sic 8 thing for, if cor grand hills were rolled out as fiat as England is, Scotland wad be the bigger O the twa 1"
 "Well," retorted John Bull, "you'll acknowledge that Shakespeare was not 8 Scotchman 2'
 Discomfted at this home thrust, but not disheartened, he once more replied {:
 "I1l acknowledge that Shakespeare had pairts (parts) that would justify the inference that he was Sootohman."

Gambling on the Dead.

The deceased ex Emperor Ferdinand, of Austria, was, in his death, the cause of good fortune to thousands. Lottery is government monopoly in the em- pire. The day after his decease the numbers 13, 82 and 90 were played all over the country, and, strange to say, they were all drawn, the players being heavy winners. The combination was made because Ferdinand was emperor for thirteen years, was eighty-two years old at his death, and, as he was the highest parsonage in the empire, the highest number that could be played, which is 90, was selected for that reason. The people ascribe their good fortune to the benignant character of Ferdinand, since when the Archduchess Sophia, the mother of the present emperor, died some years ago, similar combination was made, but none of the numbers won, because, it is said, she was 8 shrew and generally hardhearted woman.
