Il " N Il B e L L E E
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE.

1t was many and many year ago,
In kingdom by the sea, Gmay know
That a maiden there lived whom you
By the name of Annabel Lee
And the maiden she lived with no other
thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
| was a child and she was child
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with love that was more
than love-
I and my Annabel Lee heaven
With love that the winged seraphs of
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee
So that her high born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me,
Yes ! that is the reason (as all men know
In this kingdom by the sea, night
That the wind came out of cloud by
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without
bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but / feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee
And so all the night-tide, / lie down by
the side
OF my darling-my darling-my life
and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In the tomb by the sounding sea.

MISS FARNHAM's TRUNKS.
The Treasures that were Hidden
for Lifetime by Boston
Hotel Maid.
[From the Dover Democrat.)

(From the Dover Democrat.)
Miss Joanna Farnham. who died
recently at the age of eighty years.
and who for a long series of years
had been housekeeper of the A er
lean Hotel, Boston, went from Mil~
ton, N. H., in her early days. and
during her long life in the hotel no.
body supposed that she had any
property, and at her death it was not
generally known that she had sur
plus dollar anywhere. But she had
q trunk in the American House.
which was opened and found to con-
tain a variety of dry goods, notes
for SIS, 900 against the proprietor of
the American House, a bank book
of the Blackstone Bank, showing
deposits of $1.7O0, small sum of
money. and also piece or paper
having trunk key wrapped up ia it.
and on the paper was written the
fact that the key belonged to another
trunk, which could be found at the
house of a relative in Milton. This
led to visit to Milton.
The trunk referred to as being at
Milton was opened with they found
in The former trunk, and this second
trunk was packed full of all sorts of
fine wearing apparel, aDd contained
also a key in a piece of paper, upon
which it was written that the key
belonged to another trunk in another
house. And so this thing was fol-
lowed until twenty very large-sized
trunks and three great packing chests
were found, all crammed full of the
most expensive articles of ladies'
wearing apparel and house-furnish-
that the Boston market afforded.
After these trunks and boxes had
been all collected they loaded down
four-ox team, and were drawn to a
large hall in Milton, unpacked and
inventoried, preparatory to an Auc-
tion sale for the benefit of the heirs.
Among all these valuables were 80
dresses, new and perfect, made of
silk velvet, satin, and all kinds of
plaid silks, black and colored thieets,
poplins, alpacas, brilliantines, cash.
meres. ETC., 8 silk velvet cloaks, 19
shawls, from common to the richest
Paisley and wrought Grape; LOG
skirts of all colors; la pairs of
hose; undergarmen.s too numerous
to mention, table linen, towels, hand
kerchiefs, counterpanes, blankets,
coverlets, sheets, live geese feathers,
sets of elegant chinaware, a large
lot of table and tea spoons of the
best coin silver, silver knives and
forks, fine gold watch and chain,
and a large lot of fine jewery.

tin and Morning Cal, for a method of
rapid telegraphing fac SMILES of
stereotype plates. 1t is claimed by
this process that an ehtire page of q
newspaper can be transmitted by
telegraph in from fifteen to thirty
minutes, delivering the copy direct
ly from the instrument in such form
that it can be handed Immediately to
the printers. In other words, the
copy will be substantial reproduc-
ton of the original, except that it
may be given in larger sized letter if
so desired. The stereotype requires
no preparation for the purpose of
teleg-aphic transmission other than
filling its depressions or the spaces
between the faces of the letters with
non-conducting substance which may
be quickly applied, the faces of the
type being left clean by means of an
equally simple process. The plate
thus prepared is placed on cylinder
arranged to revolve rapidly, so as to
present each successive letter to the
fingers attached to the travelling
frame. As the cylinder bearing the
plate revolves, the frame gradually
advances by the operation of a screw,
and thus each and every line is sue
cessively presented to the fingers or
magnetic points mentioned. Neces-
sarily the circuit is open when the
points are passing over the non-con-
Quoting surface, but as after the met
al type presents itself to said fingers,
the circuit is closed, and the cores
ponding magnetic points or pins at
the receiving station make the rec
ord there in the same letter as the
in the series of fine lines,
either on chemically prepared or or
dinary paper, fixed on a correspond
ing cylinder at said receiving sta

Nova scotia's Heroine.
From the Halifax Chronicle.)

On the evening Of the 18th inst,
Mrs. Capt. Ivy, widow, Of Pieton,
n. S.. on going out locked in the
room her two children, Henry and
Alice, aged 5 and Z years respec-
lively. About s p. Nj. they arose
from the bed and lit the lamp. Some
wearing apparel was hanging on the
wall, and beneath was a trunk. On
this trunk they placed the lamp, and
it set the clothes on fire, and filled
the room with flame and smoke. The
little girl knew that the key was in
the lock outside. She formed the
terrible project of jumping to the
ground from the third.story window.
Crawling out on the shelf fastened
to the window, and. lowering herself
the length of her short arms, she
dropped down to the ground--a dis
tance of exactly thirty-fve feet.
The air caught under her clothes in
her descent, and broke the fall. She
than ran up stairs, hut, upon open,
ing the door. she saw no signs of her
brother. The little fellow, scared
out of bis senses, had efawled out
to see where is sister had gone, and
fallen over the shelf to the ground.
Mr.. Thomas Harris, passing by just
then, heard the boys groans, and,
by the light of a match, found him.
To-day the boy has been able to
walk round the room and play while
sitting On the bed. A complete re-
covery is expected. The arm and
leg OF the heroine are slightly in
jnred. b

Il Die For YOu.

At the time Of the gold fever in
California, a man went from England
to the diggings. BY and by he sent
money for his wife and child to follow
him. They arrived safely in New
York, and there took passage ia one
of the beautiful Pacific steamers. A
few days after sailing, the terrible
cry Of Sire! fire p rang through
the ship. Everything that the cap
tain and sailors could do was done,
but it was no use, the fire rapidly
gained ground. AS there was a
powder magazin on board, the cap.

flames reached it the vessel would be

handing him over the side Of the
ship said, i'If you live to see your

SINKING A TURKISH IRON
CLAD.
Two Hundred and Five Men
Sent to their Deaths in the
Waters off BraiIa.
(From the London Enquirer }

An eyewitness gives the follow
| ing account: "On Sunday, the 9th
inst, a Turkish ironclad with two
turrets paid visit to Braila, and
threw some fifteen 9-inches shells
right over the town to the railway
station, just as the Grand Duke Nj
| cholas arrived by train from Galatz.
The vessel did not remain long, and
on the following Friday, the 11th
inst, she returned about 3 p. M,
and dropped anchor, with the object
apparently of shelling the town.
She several times shifted her posi-
ton slightly, in order to bring her
guns to bear more conveniently. A
Russian battery at once opened fire
on her with bronze rifled howitzers,
the range being 5000 yards. A
second battery, armed with 25-poun-
der siege guns, also opened on the
Turkish ship, and the cannonade
lasted for about forty five minutes.
The Russians fired in all about
twenty rounds. Suddenly, a small
puff of white smoke or steam rose
from the ironclad, followed by huge
flames. which assembled to a height
of some twenty feet. These were
carried away by the wind at slight
angle, and were succeeded by a
cloud of dark smoke or steam rising
high into the air, and surrounded by
black objects. A dull report was
heard, and when the smoke cleared
away the ironclad was gone.
Nothing was to be seen of her but
the mizzenmast standing far out of
the water and still flying the Turk
ish flag, which, curiously enough,
the Turkish boats, pulling to the res
cue of the drowning sailors, did not
attempt to secure. These boats
came from second Turkish ironclad
lying at the time little further up
the stream. Whether they succeed
ed in rescuing any of the crew is
not known. But the cook of the
ship was subsequently picked up by
the Russians, who also carried off
the Turkish flag as a trophy. The
man was much hurt, but he was quite
able to give the explanation of the
occurrence.
1t seems that the commander Of
the Lutfi Djelil had gone ashore at
Matchin, about four or five miles
further up the Danube, and had given,
instructions to his second in COM
mand to get the ship into position,
but not to open fire until he return
ed on board; and, as fact. the
Turkish ship did not reply by a
single gun to the Russians. His OBJ
jecs in going to Matchin was to ar
range with four other gun vessels for
a concerted attack on Braila, which,
as we know, never came of. Ae-
cording to the survivor, shell en-
tered the side or base Of the funnel,
and exploding in the up-take, the
boilers at once followed suit. Further
than this the cook knows nothing
until he was picked up. 1t was not
possible safely to make any exam
ination on the spot after the ship
went down, for body of Circassians
! posted among some willows on the
river bank, were very busy with their
rifles. The crew consisted of 1872
men, 20 officers. and pilots, all of
whom were Turks. Two of the
Russian officers who laid the howit-
zers have been decorated.
