''Paddy"is the name of dashing young
ranger who has been .has ing good time
during the past week. Paddy got after n
two hundred pound musician one evening
Just for fun. and it was amusing to see
that musician run and yell for projection.
But Paddy's fun had to subside. 1t could
not last always. He informed us yester-
day that the snakes in his boots were
growing larger every day, and the dclir-
ium tremendums were upon him, there
fore he had wisely concluded to change off
to cold water diet for awhile.

Measuring the Pyramids.

An English explorer, Prof. Smyth,
who has devoted many months of work
with the best instruments in order to fix
the dimensions and angles of all accessi-
BILE parts of the great pyramid of Egypt
carefully deciding these particulars by
a comparison of his own and all pre-
vious measures concludes that the
pyramid in question is truly square, the
sides being equal and the ranges at right
angles; that the four sockets on which
the four first stones of the corners rest
are truly on the same level; that the
directions of the sides are accurately to
the cardinal points; and that the YER
tical hight Of the pyramid bears the
same proportion to it's circumference at
the base as the radius of a circle does to
its circumference. Now, an these
measures, angles and levels, says Prof.
Smyth, are accurate not as an ordinary
surveyor or builder could make them,
but to such degree as requires the very
best modern instruments, and all the re-
fnements Of geometrical science, to dis
cover any error at all, in addition to
which is the wonderful perfection Of the
workmanship in the interior of the
pyramid, the passages and the chambers
being lined with huge blocks of stone
| fitted with utmost accuracy.

A Relic of the Rebellion.

A humber Of spectators were collected
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard the other
day at the sale of the rebel torpedo boat
Nudge, 800, 900 pounds of old chain, lot
of electric wire and other condemned
material, ordered to be sold at
public auction by the Navy De-
partment. The torpedo boat has for a
number Of years graced the grass plot in
front of the Naval Lyceum, it being kept
as one of the relics Of the rebellion. It
was one of number that were construct
ed by the Confederacy for the purpose Of
doing and havoc with the the Federal
fleet. Only one of them, however, was
known to have done any active service
whatever. There were more rebels lost
on them than there were Federals killed
by their use. The Davit blew up the
United States gunboat Housatonic, but
aside from this they never did any
effectual duty, although one Of them was
used to blow up the monitor Manhattan
in Mobile Bay. The officers in command
rather than risk their own lives in such a
hazardous expedition, blew up the boiler
and thus disabled the vessel beyond re-
pair The one sold was captured with
OIdIIeoCOu Clty, pOuIu OdrOllna. LII was,
like the others peculiarly shaped, like a
double ended cigar, Theoretically sealed !;
the machinery, excepting the screw, all
inclosed, and the only prejectile being a
torpedo projecting out from the bow on a
bar. The torpedo was fired by concus-
sion, and adjusted by means of pulleys,
etc., from the inside. When put up for
sale it was knocked down to James T.
Powers & Co., for $3.50. The chain was
sold to Isaac Hall, of New York, for one
cent and half per pound. The other
material brought prices far below their
actual value.-NeW York Times.

THE FUTURE.
BY E. FAWCETT.

By II. tAWCEII.
How vast is that mysterious land
That no conjecture yet hath spanned,
Filled always with it's boundless band
OF varied possibilities.
Wrought but of insubstantial shade,
To distance does it broadly fade,
With awful crag or woody glade,
Or high superb tranquilities.
And here throng of roaming ghosts
Walk, in immense unnumbered hosts,
Ger misty hills, by dreamy coasts,
For ever widely wandering.
Here dwell great thinkers, yet unborn,
Reformers (whom their day shall scorn),
And lordly statesmen, service-worn,
Deep problems gravely pondering
Here dwell rare poets who shall claim
The laurels of transcendent fame,
Orators that with shining name
Shall grace unwritten histories.
Here all those lofty minds abide,
The hope of nations and their pride,
Who cheer the mighty throngs they guide
Through times majestic mys teries.
But here dread shapes of shadow meet
Spirits with black intents replete,
Who yearn to set their pleasured feet
In sins most dark obliquities.
Here 1anguish, amid fierce unrest,
War, famine, massacre, and pest,
Audacious tyrannies unblest,
And hatred's worst iniquities.
And vet, perchance in that weird land,
A race unutterly grand
Beholds all earthly evils planned.
All crimes, all wrongs unmerited.
And through slow ages big with doom,
Perchance in patience and in gloom,
Waits the white god-like race by whom
Our world shall be inherited!

Oh, am very glad to see you, she
replied, half-bitterly, half-triumphantly.
1t is some time since you were here"
"Did you not receive my notes aying

not particle changed since-you were

Yes, always"
AS they talked, they wandered slowly
down the narrow path, on and on, as she
had wandered alone, and so happy, that
night long ago. But they went farther
than she did then into the old orchard,
down by the babbling brook and the
fruit laden trees, and at his suggestion
sat down to rest,
Elvie"
lie took the roses out of her hands, and
took the hands in his. She left them

TO ask you question, and one that
holds IN It's answer my whole life and
happiness"
Such a happy look-ah, too superbly
happy!-swept over her face as she
leaned towards him, and waited.
Elvie, my past has been one fatal
mistake, from almost the beginning until
now. [ loved you when we first met;
and have loved you, and also love you
still! Oh! you cannot conceive of the
unhappiness l have borne! That past
was a dream-a passion-a fancy; but
my love is yours forever!"
The tender voice grew lower, as he
asked, " Won't you love me %
Those violet eyes looked up at him
with an expression Of unspeakable pas
sion.
81 also love you"
"You do Oh, my darling, how happy
you have made me-!
His arms were about her, but she
sprang from his touch.
81 love you, Louis de Brusle, with a
love you have not the remotest idea of;
but"
