Of Court closed on Saturday evening, the longest

Well, all we have to say is that it will take
some cash to keep up these repeated three weeks
terms, and there mus, be some timber aud coal
sold pretty soon to pay for the wear and tear of
our legal machinery, or we may be compelled to
initiate some of our ncighbOrng counties and

THE NUN AND HARP.


What memory fred her pallid facef n
What passion stirred her bloodf
WhAt'tide OF sorrow and desire
Poured It's forgot flood
Upon aheartt that ceased to beat,
Long since, with thought that llfewas swee'
WnennigiIts were rieii with starry utlsk
And the rose burst its buul
Had not the western glory the,,
Stolen through the lattieec room,
Her funeral raiment would have shel
A more heart-breakiig gloom:
Had nota q supple convent mad
Hung in the doorway, half afraid,
And left the melancholy place
Bright with her blush and bloom.
Beside the gilded harp she stool,
And through the ingng strings
Wound those wan haHds of foldea prayer
In murmurous preludings
Then, like voice, the harp rang high
Its melody, as climb tiiesky,
Mel lug agaInst'tl1e melting sKy,s
Mvitrng against the M elting blues,
Some birds vibrating wings
Slowly the western ray forsoek
The statue in its shrine, ...
A sense OF tears thrilled all the air
Along tuat purpling line.

To hollow footsteps, while shesang,
"Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And will pledge with mine"

Ms. Mhitelock, the Actress.

From the second chapter OF Mrs. KEN

lowing account OF her aunt, Mrs. White.
lock:
Mrs. WhiteIOck had been for a number
OF years in the United States, of which
then comparatively little known part oI
the world sire used to tell us stories that
from her characteristic eXaggeration we
always received with extreme credulity
but my own experience, subsequent by
many years to hers, has corroborated
her marvellous histories OF flights OF birds
that almost darkened the sun q. e.,
| threw passing shadow as OF cloud
upon The ground) J, and roads With luts
and mud-h0pes into which ones carriage
sank up to the axle.tree.
She used to tell us anecdotes of Gen.
eral Washington, TO whom she had been
presented and had often seen Chs favor

Scandal) /; and OF Taileyrand, whom she
| had often met, and invariably called
Prince Tallierande. She Was once terri,
rtied by being followed at evening, in
the streets Of Philadelphia by red

many times REQUIRED to my mind while
traversing~at alr hours and III all dIrec-
tions the streets of that most peaceful
Quaker city, distant now by more than 4
thousand miles from the nearest req
Indian savage.
Congress was sitting in Philadelphia
at that time; it was virtually the capital
of the newly-made United States, and
Mrs. Whitelock held au agreeable and
respectable position both in private and
in public. | Eave been assured by per-

was rather burden than otherwise
The oars, 1t is urged, are very heavy,
and thus wear the road morerapidly,
and are much greater load, improper
to the'number carried, than the others,
especially as they carry so lew in pro-
portion to their size and weight, .Espe-
cially have the railroad companies COM
plained of this in view of the TACT that
they have obtained little, If anything,
for this additional expense, the Pullman
Company collecting its own extra
charges, and the railroads being
forced by competition into their
use. The sleeping cars, although'a some-
what expensive luxury, are one with
which many travellers and business men
would not willingly dispense. There
are few business men who, il they can

| ney of two or three hundred miles dur
Ing the night and awake ready for busi-
ness in the morning, will not consider
1t clear saving of several dollars
worth Of time above the amount paid for
the sleeper, even though the price may
appear extravsgant. The prospects
are, however, that the travelling public
will be benefited by the fight made
against the Pullman car, as it will open
the way for competition which VIII Sc
cure to all lower prices and better ac-
commodations. Besides the Wagner
car there is now manufactured still an.
other sleeping car, said to be superior in
many respects and weighing 10000
pounds less, and costing but about
three-fourths as much.

lone Of the odd industries, the nature
and extent of which are comparatively
little known, is the manufacture of sand
paper, the amount of which, article ans
nually produced in the United States
is estimated at not less tlfan two hum :
dred thousand reams, ,including the vari-
Gus grades ana qualities. Formerly it was
made of ordinary brown paper, glue and
sand. At present, for the most part,
thepaper is madeof ldrope, the best
glue is used, aad, instead OF sand, pul.
verized quartz or lint. By this means
a superior fabric is produced, Of a con.
stanny uniform grade, and-at so low e
price that the use Of it has become
greatly extended, large quantities being
exported to Europe, South America, the
Pacinc Islands, and elsewhere. For
emery paper and emery cloth, large
demand has been created. by the tin-
ished' iron work in steam engine shops,
the sewiAg ma achine factories, and other
similar industries which require them
for polishing purposes.

Tunnel Under tho EnelisI, Channel.

The submarine tunnel between Eng
land and France, SO long. d matter oil
speculation and engineering ambition, is
now about to be put to practical test.
The enterprise is one of the boldest ever
attempted, and ii successful will Ger.
tainly pave the way to series of sub.
marine excavations which, to future gen.
.eSations, may prove means of almost
entirely doing away with the dangers Of
the sea. ... .....
The English Channel has ever been
regarded as one of the most unpleasant
seas in the world; the formation OF tun.
mel beneath its. bed. and the removal OF
the necessity for enduring it's tossing
and tumbling waters, Will certainly
prove boon to the travelling public for
which they can not be sufficiently thank
full. The opening of such communica-
tion between England and the continent
OF Europe must also prove, in a CONNER
cial point OF view, a pure gain to both
sides, while the 100000 travellers now
computed to cross the channel every
season would doubtless be Increased to
millions.
A tunnel under twenty miles Of stormy
sea was certainly bold dream, even for
an age which has bound the continents
by electricity. or its possibility, how
ever, there seems to be but little reason
to doubt. The bed OF the channel is COM
posed of a smooth, unbroken formation
Of chalk, and the depth is nowhere
greater than one. hundred and eighty
feet. The success of the experiment de-
pends on the bed being continuous. If
it is, as is claimed, chalk bed some
hundreds. of feet in thickness, the driv.
ing Of huge bore through it is now a
mere matter of time, money and organi-
zation,-Inter-Ocean

Rirds,.Nest Saun.

| OF the delicious birds'-nest soup eaten
| in China, everybody has heard, but ev-
erybody has not been privileged to par
| take of that most delectable of all Ori.
entail dainties. Tue nests are formed OF
the secretlons of a species of swallow,
called by naturalists Hi,Wndo esculentG,
because their dwellings are eaten. These
birds are common on most OF the islands
Of the Indian Archipelagoes, but their
head. quarters are Sumatra, Java, and
Borneo. They build their nests over
shelving rocks, in places that would
seem to be inaccessible to man.
| The bird makes its first nest from gel
atine produced from its own body, with
out any foreign admixture; but when de.
prlved of this, being unable TO secrete a
Sufficient quantity OF the gluten for
another, he mixes in the second con.
siderable portion of sticks, feathers, and
dried grass, thus rendering the nest far
less desirable for edible purposes.
Again, however, the rapacious hunter,
laying in wait tor his prey, turns out the
homeless bird, and Bears off the prize;
and when, for the third time, the little
architect rears his home, it is composed
almost entirely of stuDble, with the
slightest possible admixture OF gelatine.
This last nest being comparatively
worthless Tor food, the poor little builder
| is ordinarily allowed. to retain posses.
sion, and rears its family without fur.
ther molestation. The nests are about the
| size of small tea-cup, and an eighth oi
an inch in thickness weighing scarcely
4 half an ounce each.
| The first nests collected are of pure
| creamy whiteness, and bring readily
twice their own weight in silver dollars,
\ These require little cleansing, only TO be
| dried and packed; but the second gath.
ering must be carefully picked oyer, and
| thoroughly washed. The nests thus los.
ing their original lusciousness, the mar
ket value is proportionately diminished,
and they sell for about eighteen or TWEEN.
| ty dollars per pound-the poorest as low
as six or eight. Even the third nests are
| occasionally taken, but they bring a
mere triie, and are only used by those
whose epicurean tastes exceed the length

THE telegraph announces that the
Michigan Central railroad has decided
TO substitute the Wagner sleeping cal
nr the Pullman, and that the Great
Western line will probably follow suit
next spring. Commodore, Vanderbilt
maugurated q war against the Pullman
Car Company last spring and ordered
sif all the Pullman cars from the New
York Central, substituting the Wagner
ear IN their stead. 1t was generally con.
seeded that the fight between the two
contestants, Mr.. Vanderbilt on the one
side and the Pullman Company on the
other, would be one Of considerable in.
terest and Importance to the travelling
public and to the people at large, for
with the present low rates and careful
management everybody is in some sense
8 traveller. Thus far Mr.. Vanderbilt
seems to be gaining the better in the
contest. The adoption Of the Wag.
ner car on these two lines,
added to that of the New York Central,
will give direct line extending hall
way across the continent, upon which
the opposition cars are run, and will
thus thoroughly break in upon the mon.
opoly which the Pullman Company has
enjoyed. Perhaps no company has had
90 exclusive monopoly as has this, and
yet been so gratefully received by the
public. The railroads have generally
