the n4LO.mEADED rrRANr.
BY MARY e. vASDYNE

Oh the quietast home on earth hal /,
No thought Of trouble, no hint Of care
Like a dream Of pleasure the days lew ny
And peace had folded her PM 0ns therei
But one DAY there Joined our household band
A bsld-hclded tyrant from NO-mau's-land.
Oh, the depot came In the dead Of night
And no one ventured 10 ask him why
Like slave We trembIed before his might,
ur hearts stood .til when We heard him cry
For never a sou, could his power Withstand,
This bald-headed tgant from No-mau's-land'
lie ordered US here and sent us there.
Though % yer a word could his small lips sI'eai -
With his toothless gums and bis vacant iiafe'
And bis helpless limbs so frai and weak,
TIL cried, iH voice Of stern cOm mand.
Go up thou bald-bsad from Norman ns-land ~
But his abject slaves they turned on me
Like the bears la the Scripture they'd rend me
there
The while they worshiped with bended knee
This Ruthless wretch with the missing hair
r. r he rules them all with relentless hand,
THIS Lald-heaied tyrant from Norman s-land p
Then I searched for help In every cline,
For peace had fed from my dwelling now,
Till finally THOUGHT Of old Father fine,
And low before him made my bow,
"Wilt thou deliver me out Of his hand
This bald headed tyrant from Norman s-land"
Old time he looked with puzzed stare,
And a smile came over his features grim,
"Il take the tVrant uUd,T my care
Watch what inv hour-glass does 10 him,
The veriest humbug hat ever was planned
Is this same bald-head from "N0-IHan s-land.'
Old Time " doing his work fun we'll
Much less Of might docs the tyrant WELD;
But ah with sorrow my heart will swell
And sad tears fall as see him yield.
Could st9y the touch Of that sbriyeled hand.
would keep the baId-head from No-inans-IaDd' -
For the loss Of peace have ceased to care
Like other 'assas, I've learned forsOOth,
To love the wretch gho forgot the hair
And hurried along without tooth,
And be rules me too with his tiny hand,
This bald-headed tyrant from Norman -'and

Chinese Coinage.

China has no real coinage for purposes
of trade. Little bits of silver assayed
and weighed, and dollars of the Mexican
republic, battered out of shape and
classeH one, tWo and three, at different
values, according rs an affected c0mpro-
dor pretcnds to have found more Or less
bronze in their composition-this is the
ridiculous "coinage' of the coast in
Hong Kong itself, when ! took my let
tors to the post and gave a dollar to the
clerk to pay for stamps, | had to wait
while he bit it, tried it with aGid, Weighed
it, and gave me the change, not as though
my dollar were a dollar, but according to
its weight, which was 99-l00 of what it
6hottld have been. This was no excep-
tional case, but Was the practice gone
through in every instance. such is the
repute of English coin that the Hong
Kong mint would in few years have
introduced the use of its dollars by the
Chinese people throughout the trading
poftioh5 If the empire, without Contin-
uing to impose any Charge whatever on
the English taxpayer. The history of
dollars would be a curious one. The
Chinese look doubtiully upon all that do
not besr the name of some well known
Chinese firm stamps1 Upon them, as we
write names across the back Of d bank
note, except they are of one kind, Mex
lean pillar dollars, the two pillars of
which are described in their Chinese
name, "Two piecy .canneltick" dollars,
that is, tto'cahdlestick dollars. A note
in the history of dollars that ! propose
would have to record the fact that odr
expeditionary force to Abysnnia had to
be supplied with Maria Teresa dollars.

The agricultural report for November
and December says:
The tobacco counties reporting the
comparative product make returns not
quite so favorable in the aggregate as
those of last year, and the decrease OF
the product IL indicated in Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, Sew York, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina ard Ten
nessee. An increase is indicated in Penn.
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Kentucky ports about the same as last
year; in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the
increase in the product is extraordinary.
In Ohio, Montgomery county reports the
best and finest crop of seed leaf tobacco
ever produced, Monroe county that the
quail tywas Gepreciatyd by excessively
wet weather. In Illinois the season was
very propitious tor maturing and curing,
in Sabine and johnson the crop was taten
by worms, the rayages Of which were
worse than for years. Vernon, and
Massachusetts also had mere worms than
ever before but other returns are favor
able in respect 10 both yield and quality.
The quality of the entire crop averages
the same as last year.
No systematic returns of the cotton
crop were collected for December.

Strange Course of the told Market.

A recent New York letter says The
course of the gold market has bafiled the
wisdom Of thatnumerous class who think
that the prosperity Of the nation is init.
mateIy connected and bound up with the
success of theil party in the presidential
election, or the state election, or the town
election, or some other election. Of all
the things that could happen in polit.
cal way to send gold up, nothing could
possibly have happened so well calculated
to that asadisputed presidency. Much
gold was bought at ll04 within few days
succeeding the election, on the hypothe-
SIS that Tilden and civil war, or Hayes
and military depoti>m, were coming in,
and in either case that liberty was going
out. The insensate and perverse market
fell steadily to l07, where it remains as
heavy as a stone quarry, The precise
reason for this is that we have beet lat
tcrly exporting more produce and mer.
chandise than we have been importing
and the balance has been coming to us in
gold, which gold has to be sold like any
other article OF which there is an over.
supply If the panic stricken politicians
had bought all that was offered, and
were able to hold it the price would
have remained at llOl but, as the sup
ply exceeded the demand, it naturally
fell. The eventuality much yearqed
for by Mr, William u Kelley and other
philosophers for commencing to resume
specie paym"nts-i e a balance trade
in cur ayor-scems to have come"

A PANIC PREVAILING.

A regular panic exist among the bust
ness men and coal operators and the
eight hundred miners that will be thrown
out OF work. Like most other calamitics
the loss will fall on those who cannot
well bear it. The TACT that 50 many men
heads of families, are thrown out of en-
ployment in mid-winter is truly lamenta-
BILE About seventy.fve per cent. Of
the property owned at the villages of
WiconlscO and Lykens is owned by work

years, but many have nothing to sustain

THE BURNING MINE,



The Philadelphia Times says the fire
which broke out in the Lykens Valley
mines is said to have originated through
the tarelessness 0f one Of tie miners who
threw a spark from lamp which he was
| trimming aside careessiy. in lr,, than
eight hours time the fire had spread over
an area OF over FIVE hundred yards in the
shaft which was speedily filed with
fire, gas and smoke, suflOcating eighty or
cighty-hye valuable mules before they
could be rescued. Adjoining the burn
ing mine and directly connected with it
is an abandoned slope, which has always
Contained more or less quantities of
strong gas. This matter fed the flames
Of the first mine and caused them to
spread with fearful velocity in every di-
rection, till up to this hour eleven p.
m. 1t ls safe to say about two and
quarter miles of subterrancan fire il rag
ing. Operations have been suspended
altogether, the miners and other EN-
ployes fleeing in horror fIom the shafts.
THE MOUNTAIN A CRATER.
Over and above this burning mass the
earth is isopening in long seams, crum bling
and forming immense pits, from which
smoke and steam and suIphurdu3 gases
issue as from The crater of volcano.
The men employed to combat the de-
structive element are endeavoring, but
vainly, it seems, to confne the flames
and keep them below .water.level, and
for tlis purpose The channel Of Bear
creek, considerable stream, has been di.
rected into the burning mine, SO far
with little apparent effect. Men versed
in the topography Of the mines contend
that the underground conHagration can
not be got under; that it must be per
mittsd to rage until its fury is exhausted

AS matter of course Jack, after "dou-
bling the cape" must take a run Oh shore
to recruit and drive from his system that
horrid disease, "scurvy," caused by the
too long use of salt beef and pork; but he
did not intend such long spree and lays
the charge to the delightful climate of
Chill, with its continual yield of delicious
fruits, wines and fascinating females as the
cause of his long indulgence on shore.
Chill is the most productive and genial
climate of all the different South Ameri-
can national divisions of country. The
climate, commencing at the sea coast, with
a mild, genial temperature, the themome
ter seldom rising as high as 30 degrees and
never falling lower than 40, makes it one
of the most delightful places in the world;
while as you recede from the coast and as
cend the gradual elevation of the interior,
until you arrive at the snow capped noun
tain, you can choose your own temperature.
Valparaiso, its chief port of entry, has
a tlourshing trade, which was going on
long before the gold mines of California
were discovered, and made it then, as now,
the paradise of the weather beaten sailor,
who had just passed through the storms
and disoomforts of Cape Horn; and the
hospitable inhabitants provide every in
ducement to Jack and do all they can to
make his time pleasant while enjoying his
run on shore. On the water course of the
city are three hills, known AS Main Top,
Fore Top and Mizzen Top, where neat and
comfortable houses of entertainment are

he feels like it: but he is rather shy of the

The ladies are noted for their beauty, and

caused as much curiosity as full dressed
japanese would have done in our streets
fifteen years ago. The only drawback to
Valparaiso is its harboT, which is entirely
exposed to the northern winds, making it
dangerous to the shipping whenever it pre-
walls, which fortunately is very seldom.
Cruising along the western coast of South
America is very pleasant when bound north

prevail almost constantly. The harbors
between Valparaiso and Calico are very
Insignificant, being principally the outlet
from the silver mines, where the silver is

the export duty. There is little or nothing
interesting to the sailor or that would be to
the reader. | shall, therefore, defer my
