The Lady and Her Lover.
THE LADY's soSNET-TwIL1eHT.

THE LApY's soSNET-TwIL1eHT.
I know not why I chose to seem 80 cold
At parting from you-for since you are gone
See you still; lear each word, each tone,
And what hid from you wish were told.
I who was proud and shy seem now too bold
To write these lines-and yet must write, to
would unsay my words, now I'm alone.
From my dark window out upon the world
look. Twas through yon pathway to the
west
watched you slowly going, while the light
Went with you-and q shadow seemed to fall
Upon nv heart. And now I cannot rest
Til, T have written-for said "To-night
III send your answer" Now I've told you all.
THE LOVERS soNNET-M1DN1aHT.
I waited through the night, while summer
The breath OF roses through my darkened
room.
The whispering breeze just stirred the leafy
gloom
Beyond the window. On the lawn the dew
Lay g,istening in the starlight. No one knew
did not sleep but waited here my doom
Or victory. saw the lighthouse loom
Across the bay. The silence grew and grew,
And hour by hour kept pace with my suspense.
Each rustling noise, each passing footstep
seemed
The coming messenger hoped, yet feared.
At last knock-a throb-a pause intense;
Your letter came. read as if dreamed,
Almost too great to bear my bliss appeared.
-GdLdIy.

A Bear Actor.

The latest sensation at a Cincinnati
theater, is q blood and-thunder melo-
drama, which includes trontiersman's
fights for his life with United States
military, with Indians on the war-trail,
with border desperadoes in gambling
saloon, with rival for the affections OF
an unattractive maiden. and finally with
a "grizzly bar" This frontiersis man
called Wild Bill, and the announcement
that Wild Bill would have o real fight
with q real "bar" drew q pretty fair
house. The bear comes in during the
second aud last acts of Wild Bill. Bill,
in the play, is simultaneously assaulted
by q whole nation of Indians and q
"bar." The ''bar" is fat little black
bear, which is certainly well trained. At
the proper moment it 1ushes from be-.
hind the scenes, over mimic rocks and
cascades, and attacks Bill with tremen-
dous fury. For about five minutes Wild
Bill and the bear hug each other very
fercely, until Bill manages to stab the
animal with remarkably bright bowie
knife. Then the bear rolls Bill on the
stage, and both continue to roll over and
over until at last the frontiersman is
seen lying uppermost, but still in the
bears terrible hug, when the curtain
falls amid frenzied applause. So far as
we could observe, says a reporter de-
scribing the scene, the bear was not
muzzled, neither were his claws cut.
He is doubtless an intelligent and good
natured animal; but some night it might
come to pass that Bruin would lose his
temper, and that Wild Bill might sud-
denly find himself seriously in need of n
more formidable weapon than tin
bowie knife, while the audience would
veil and cheer and smoke their cigars,
and wonder show they can make that
seem like real blood"

Novel Experiments.

A New Jersey agriculturist is expert
menting upon forcing the growth of po-
tatoes by means of steam pipes under
the ground, and has succeeded in fore,
ing growth of fifteen inches high in
two weeks from date of planting. The
potatoes, however, have always turned
out small in comparison to the vine.
This is new idea, but the practicabihty
of forcing vegetables by electricity dates
back as far as 1S41, when MIR. Pell, OF
Hyde Park. on the Hudson river, forced
the growth of tomatoes so that in week
from the date of planting the plants
bore small ripe tomatoes an inch In
diameter. The following was the way
it was done: A row of tomato plants,
forty feet long, were set out; at one end
sheet of copper an eighth of an inch
thick, fourteen inches wide and four
feet long was placed perpendicularly
two feet in the ground, leaving two feet
in the air; at the other end zinc plate
of same size was similarly placed; wire
carried over poles. was fastened to each
of these plates, the earth completing the
circuit; an abundance of manure was
used, and in one week the result was as
above stated. This crop was also fol-
lowed by three other weekly crops OF
the same size within month. OF course
it is not necessary to limit the length Of
the row to forty feet, and as it is sim.
pie and easy thing to do, perhaps some
of our readers will make the expert
ment

The California Mustang.

Speaking of the mustang race in New
York and the sympathy felt for the sani-
mails, a late California paper says: The
man who undertakes to ride thirty five
California mustangs, jumping from sad
die to saddle, must be either profes-
sional vaquero or a petrified post boy OF
the olden time. But when We contem-
plate the mustang as an object Of COM
passion and humanity, it is impossible
to repress sardonic grin. The army
mule is perfect Chesterfield of an ami
NAL in comparison with the native Cali
fornia mustang. It was the mustang
that invented the noble art of bucking.
We are aware that the army mule has
experimental in that direction, but no
other animal but the California mustang
ever caused his rider to describe para
boic curve of the same extent. Nor
can the man who has not been bucked
by a California mustang at all conceive
the process. The victim, while under
going it, would infinitely prefer being
delivered to a Hyrcanian tiger or a
Lernean hydra, or Numidian lion for
immediate masticstion, and when the
operation is completed, and by merci-
ful dispensation of fate he is landed
upon the crown OF his head in the near
est pile of road metal, with dislocated
spinal column and a pang in every
nerve, muscle, sinew and bone, he re-
CARDS the author Of his woes with hor'
ror d a detestation far surprising the
emotion that would he evoked by con-
temptation of the most forbidding ante
diluvian Saurian Prof. Owen ever re-
vived for the satisfaction of the curious.
If MIR. Bergh had taken it into his be-
nevolent head to espouse the cause of
the prosecuted grizzly or the friendless
rattlesnake, we could have deserted some
CLEAN of reason in his conduct; but the
humanitarian who goes ont of his way to
protect the California mustang is throw
ing sympathy away.

Commodore Vanderbilt's Will.

There is little to be found, says a New
York paper, to confirm the story that
Mr.. Vanderbilt has, aside from his be-
quest to VIM. q. Vanderbilt, willed
81, 100000 apiece in Central, Harlem
and Lake Shore stocks TO each of about
fifteen heirs, with proviso that one
third of the net income shall be annu-
ally reinvested by trustees in the stock
of those roads, though he is known to
have said on at least two occasions that,
no matter what might become of him,
the Central road would not come to
harm. For period of ten years he has
been in the habit of making new will
every two years to suit the changing
condition of his property, and of fire.
quently adding codicils. Every summer
before he went to Saratoga he executed
a codicil. Nevertheless, it is surmised
by. those who have known his senti-
ments that the main features of his will
have never been materially alte;ed. It
was the changes in his affairs rather
than in his intentions toward his heirs
that dictated the alterations.

An Experiment in Cooperation.

In 1872, says Chas. Barnard, in Scri6-
ner's Monthly, large manufacturing
firm in New York called it's workmen
together, and announced that after q
certain date every man would receive
over and above his wages share in the
profits of the business, be they more or
less, according TO the sales. The men
received the statement with incredulity
and returned to their work. Six months
passed, and the firm announced that it
had 81, 900 to divide among the men in
proportion to their wages. The imme'
date result of the actual division OF the
money was gratifying to all concerned.
The men resumed work with remarkable
animation and industry. Every one be-
came Jealous of his neighbor's work,
every one became his fellows overseer.
No idleness now, no one-handed
work." no shirking and dilatory pipe
lighting, no guards to watch for the
foreman, no waste of material and time.
Never before had 80 much work been
performed in a day; never had such
skill, economy, aptitude and intelligence
been shown at the benches, and never
had better goods been made. The men
were apparently satisfied, and the firm
was more than compensated for the IN
creased outlay by the improved quality
of the goods. Several months passed,
and the house announced that in a few
weeks it would have surplus OF ten
thousand dollars to divide among the
workmen. Suddenly led away by some
epidemic of unreason. the men struck
for a reduction of time to eight hours.
The proprietors would not consent to
this, and as a consequence fortwo weeks
che shops were closed. In vain were
the men shown the money coming to
them; in vain was it demonstrated that
they we're madngmore money than men
in the same line in other shops. They
persisted in the strike till they could
hold out no longer, and then resumed
work as before. The firm declined to
proceed further with the cooperative
experiment, and what had been fair with
promise was thus brought to a disas-
trous end.

Visiting q Fashionable Church,

Some years ago, being in Philadel-
phia, John Cockerill, of Ohio, received
an introduction to prominent divine OF
that city. The reverend gentleman in
vited John to attend his church on q
certain Sunday, which invitation was
accepted.
They entered the sacred edifce TO-
eether. It was one of the first churches
in the city, and its members were fash
ionable and aristocratic in the extreme.
The minister put John in an elaborately
furnished pew, we'll to the front. John
nestled comfortably down into one cor
ner of the same, and looked about as in
teresting and contented as toad under
cabbage leaf.
After o while the owner of the pew ar
rived, and at once gave signs of intense
disgust and Indignation at the presence
of the interloper. He looked at John,
looked at the pew, scowled magnificent
ly, and finally, after fumbling through
his pockets some time, drew forth o
card and wrote on it with pencil
"This is my seat, sir !" and, with an air
of the loftiest contempt, tossed it over
to John.
The latter took it up, read it with
lamb-like meekness peculiar to him
self, and then, with the most delightful
coolness, wrote in reply:
"It's a very good seat II What rent
do you pay9" and tossed the card back
to it's owner.
The latter took it, looked at it with the
most profound astonishmenta minute or
two, and then broad grin oyerspread
his countenance.
He evidently enjoyed the sublime
Grass and GOODNESS of his new acquaint-
ance, and when service was over he ap-
preached John, apologized for his rude
ness, invited him to his house, gave him
the best he had, and treated him with
the utmost respect and consideration
during his soiourn in the city.

The SueZ Canal.

NJ. De Lesseps has returned from his
five months trip TO Egypt. He has as
certained that Port Said is not likely to
be filled in with sand, as predicted, the
work done by the dredging machines
last year being still open. In winter,
when the Bitter lakes are full, a tide sets
into the canal, which turns the current
toward the Mediterranean. In summer,
when the level of the lakes has been
lowered by evaporation, the current
turns in the opposite direction. For
merly rain was unknown on this part of
the Red sea, but since the building of
the canal showers have fallen regularly
about once fortnight The result has
been to start vegetation up, even on the
Asiatic side, in the most wonderful mar
ner. Civilization, therefore, changes
the climate as well as the face OF the
country, and if things 60 on as they
have begun, the sands of the isthmus
will be covered with forests in another
fifty years.

The Mystery of Marshal Ney.

A curious story is going the rounds Of
the Western press to the effect that
Marshal Ney was not shot, rs history
tells us, but that he came to the United
States and lived for many years in the
South, where he was known as Peter
Stewart Ney. The story is not a new
one. Some time about the year 1880, a
French gentleman, known as Peter
Ney, resided in Darlington or Marlboro
district, South Carolina, and pursued
the profession of teaching. Many old
citizens are still living who were his
pupils. Some curious facts are related
concerning this gentleman which tend
to corroborate the suspicion that he may
have been the Marshal Ney of the first
empire. At the time referred to he is
said to have been exceedingly reticent
as to his personal and private history.
In conversation, however, he showed
O remarkable familiarity with all the
events and battles of the Napoleonic
wars, and very frequently com mented
upon them, admitting freely that he had
taken an active part in them. His mar
tial bearing, style of dress, and the
saber scars upon his head, showed that
he had known military service. He is
said to have been generally reserved and
quiet in his demeanor, but fond Of 80
cial chat with men Of his age. At
times he reIapsed into fits of profound
melancholy, which occasionally ended in
a spell of intemperate drinking. He
seemed disposed to court retirement,
but on one occasion, when on a visit to
Columbia, he attended q military re-
view on horseback, when his distin-
guished and soldierly bearing attracted
much attention. The story goes that
some French travellers, who were in the
town at the time, declared most posi-
lively that it could be no other than
Marshal Ney. This gentleman, more
over, always betrayed marked interest
in every item of news connected with
Napoleon in his exile, and one day, sit
ting in his quiet schoolroom reading a
newspaper which he had just obtained,
he suddenly dropped from his chair in
a swoon. The paper on being examined
was found to contain the news of Bona
parties death.

SCENES IN THE MAIN HALL.

The Main hall continues to be the
center of attraction for the general
public, and it is daily becoming more
worthy of attention. In it visitors OF
every turn of mind can find instruction
and amusement. The ladies and chill
dren appear to be particularly interested
in the truly wonderful groups of what
are called wax composition figures,
which are displayed by Norway and
Sweden. One of these groups repre-
sents party of Swedish peasants gath
cred around a dying reindeer. The ami
NAL, beautiful preserved natural speci-
men, has sunk upon the moss with a
deadly wound in it's side and terrible
cash across the neck. It almost human
eyes look appealingly into the faces Of
the hunters, who appear resting on their
guns after the chase. A peasant woman,
who stands little behind the men, has
one arm thrown protectingly around o
little child dressed in the old fashioned
costume of the country, and with the
other points to the dying reindeer. The
whole group is strikingly true to nature,
and Justly excites universal admiration.
The same may be said of a group rep
resenting a peasant wedding in Nor
way. The bride appears with the great
gold crown, which is part of the mar
riage paraphernalia, and the groom
leans lightly upon the heavy steel-point-
ed staff which indicates his power and
authority. In addition to these and
other groups representing various scenes
from peasant life, Sweden has sent q
number of really admirable figures
which show the different styles of uni
form which are worn by Swedish officers
of the present day, and which were
worn in the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turies. One of these figures, represent
ing major of cavalry, is so natural and
lifelike as to deceive even those who
make q close inspection of it. A few
days ago T noticed an old lady who
would not believe until she had touched
the cold wax hand that the figure was
not alive. This morning smart young
lady, passing by the Swedish depart
ment, pointed to the figure and said in
an undertone toAR companion Lab,
Mary, just look at that; he thinks he's
awful rice, don't he9" Shortly after
