The Original Clog Dancer.

The father of clog-dancing Is dead. His
name was Tim Hayes and he was born in
Dublin, coming to this country when eigh-
teen years old. lie could dance jig very
well and in happy moment he conceived
the idea of the clogs. Ills first pair OF
wooden shoes had nailed to each heel an old
fashioned copper cert. Ills first exhibition
was success. lie, after filling many en-
gagemcnts in the theatres in New York,
made an European trip with Christy's min
strcls. lie next made tour of the United
States, dancing his clog dance to the tune of
My Mary Ann" to rounds of applause in
every city in the Union. lie was paid from
Sl25 to $50 week and all expenses, and
after that frequently received as high as
5000 per week All this was because his
style Of dancing was novel. Soon he had
many imitators, many Of whom turned out
to be better dancers than the "iather" Of clog
dancers, as Tim Hayes was everywhere
recognized to be. Some Of them made
money and kept it, but, notwithstanding
all that Hayes made, he died in the WASH
Ington poor-house hospital on Saturday night
last lie was buried in Mount Olive ceme-
tery Sunday afternoon. a sketch of him
in Washington letter 10 the Hartford
Tunes, from which We get these facts,
says:
lie let his popularity and remark able sue
cess make him unpopular with the members
of his profession. lie refused to associate
with them of the stage OF to talk with them
in the street. lie was ugly and soon he had
not friend in the world. Then he began
to drink. His dissipation continued for
years In lSG3, in this city, he danced Dick
Sands for the championship clog" and
81 900 and won both About four years
ago he got 50 low that no manager would
employ hir:. To raise money enough to
buy the whiskcy he needed he frequently
danced step or two in the low dives in
New York Three years ago he ran himself
down so low that he could not work at all.
Consumption had a strong hold on him.
and being without money and friends. and
being too proud to knuckle down to any oi
his professional brethren, he went to the
poor-house in Philadelphia to die. lie I'M
proved somewhat, several weeks ago, and
being allowed short liberty outside the
hospital, raised small sum of money and
came to this city in dying condition. lie
applied for an engagement ut variety
theatre, saying, 81 know am dying. and
want to die with my clogs on lie was
sent to a boarding house near by and ply
sician employed to attend him. Being just
rs proud As ever, he did not like to be kept
at the expense of a friend. and he expressed
Il desire to be sent TO the poor-house or hos
pital, otherwise known ~ the Washington
asylum. lie was there but dnc week when
he expired On Saturday several Oi the y0-
ealst and female dancers employed at va
riety theatres here visited the hospital and
had the body prepared for buriel. The
funeral took place Yesterday, everything be-
ing conducted in Il very private manner.
Thus closes the story of the life OF the hrst
man who, though he was but thirty-hve
years of age, lived most remarkable and
chcckcrcd life.

To the last. the Soluble Pacific Guano,
may be added the sum OF IS cents per ton,
credit being given for the fraction of per
cent. of potash contained, which makes this
fertilizer worth S33 81 per ton.
The above analyses and the valuations
based upon them. made by Professor Col
lier, chemist of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. will sufficiently explain themselves.
No law regulates the inspection or sale of
fertilizers within the State of Vermont. De
preciated and even worthless articles have
been pressed upon the market. The mem
bers of the State Board have desired. as far
as their means will allow, to assist the
farmers in determining the actual value of
the articles offered for sale. The practice of
analyzing samples of artificial fertilizers
was instituted early in the history of the
Board. Such have been the marked results
in the improvement of good fertilizers and
the exclusion of valueless ones, that the
practice will be continued.
1t would have been gratifying to have no
ticed an important advance in the actual
value Of these samples while they maintain
nearly their former price. Their character,
rs general thing. is maintained. and so
too much their prices when the fall in the
prices of corresponding fertilizlng materials
is considered. HENRY NJ. SEELY.

So 1t was finally arranged that they were to
be married in the autumn. He had learned
to love her so well, would sometimes hold
her white hands fast, as he listened to her
voice soaring and vibrating with more than
natural brilliancy, and watched the rosy color
fade from her face, leaving it pale and trans
parent as an agate. After little the render
ing of few bars would fetch out n bright red
spot on either cheek that struck cold fear
to the lovers heart
He pleaded that she should rest.
"When We are married." she would answer
him, with one of her rare. kindhng smiles.
One night, as the whole audience sat
breathlessly entranced by the matchless
sweetness of her liquid volce. the end came.
Like star suddenly gone ont into eternal
space, she disappeared The silver cord was
loosed, the golden bowl broken.
BURY me in the village where first We
met, she whispered ere she died; and now
the waving boughs of the neighboring chest
nut tree fan gentle breezes, nature murmurs
soft lullaby, the little birds sing sad requiems
above her ashes. and lonely man wanders
restlessly over the face of the earth.
