Tupper's Tribute to America.

Great and understanding nation
Bear with one whose humble pen
Sends this hearty commendation
Flying through the mouths of men;
Not in vain presumptuous daring,
But with gratitude sincere,
As your thousand bountios sharing
This Centennial happy year.
Memo need doubt my faithful fitness
Thus to judge. and SO to speak,
As true and honest witness,
Mindful, though his words be weak.
Since may not tell out strongly
All the best 1 feel and sec,
Lest suspicion, sneering wrongly
Find a fiattercr in me.
Five and twenty years have vanished
Since I hailed you once before,
And my memory holds unbanished
How you greeted me of yore;
Even now some few surround me
Though that quarter century's fed
And their love has newly crowned me
With old blessings on my head.
Thanks to you, dear old and new friends.
Each and all my praise receive,
Everywhere know you true friends,
And your cordial words believe;
As brother greets brother
Still our generous feelings blend,
And we look on one another
Each with each as on his friend.
Noble people ! now returning
Absent thus so many year,
With what ken, not undiscerning,
Can judge your great career?
How does Rip Van Wrinkle find you-
Worse or better than of yore?
Flinging all your faults behind you?
Forcing all your best before?
Yes ! as in that old Dutch story,
You have grown both great and good;
Truly, progress is your glory,
Winning all that mortals could:
Truly rising better, wiser,
For adversities and woes,
NHt4At!lih SbOu lICul each duNlSGr,
War and peace, and friends and foes.
Temperance. morals, courteous bearing.
And the hand to help all round,
Each another's burden sharing
Generous traits like these abound:
Energetic, sef-confiding,
And religious, and sincere,
Patient, duteous. law abiding
Men like these are common here
Gods good will your country blessing
Helps your words of human will,
Wondrous cities, each possessing
Every type of art and skill;
While the Wilderness rejoices,
Showing Edens on the earth,
With the shout Of freemen's voices.
Woman's song, and childhood's mirth.
Since your pilgrim fathers landed
(Some of mine sailed with them. too.
Giant hearted, giant handed,
We still fight life's battles through,
Till tn universal empire
OF our Anglo-SaXon race
Bnil13 Us deeper. broader, higher.
Kings and prs Is in every place

The Turkish Leaders,

Gen. Kimball, who has been with the
Turkish army In Asia. says that the
regular Turkish soldiers fought very
bravely and with skill during the battle,
and also during the retreat. Capable
officers are greatly needed. The Circas-
slams and Kurds were wonderfully
brave when the enemy was out of sight.
They would ride up and down furiously
through the camp, gnash their teeth
and make their boast Of what they
would do to the enemy. But when the
bullets began to whistle they were
worthless; they ran this way and that,
shooting into tho air, and early in the
battle fled to the rear. Not so, however,
the regular Turkish soldier. He does
not boast, and fights hard to the very
last. In this. very battle he gave fine
testimony to his merit. He entered the
battle field suffering with keen hunger,
every man being. on quarter rations
and yet he fought stoutly throughout
the day, and beat off the Cossacks in
retreat,

Hanks Of England NOfgs.

Few persons who handle Bank of
England notes ever think OF the amount
Of labor and ingenuity that is expended
on their production. These notes are
made from pure white linen cuttings
only, never from rags that have been
worn. They have been manufactured
for nearly 200 years at the same spot
Laverstoke, In Hampshire, aud by the
same family, the Portals, who ore de-
scended from some French Protestant
refugees. So carefully Is the paper pre-
pared that even the number OF dips into
the pulp made by each workman is
registered on q dial by machinery. and
the. sheets are carefully counted aud
booked to each person through whose
hands they pass. The printing is done
by q most curious process in Mr.. Goes
department within the bank building.
There Is an elaborate arrangement for
securing that no note shall be exactly
like any other In existence. Con-
sequently there never was duplicate
Of d Bank of England note, except by
forgery. According to the City Press
the stock Of bank notes for seven years
is about 94,000,0O0 in number, and they
fill IL, 900 boxes.

THE GROWTH or CHILDREN.
some Interesting Statistics from the
Public schools Of Boston.
IHnsLnr TRANSCRIPT. July z.


The growth Of children has been made
original researches through some 25, 900
measurements OF the children In the
public schools Of this city, by Prof.
Bowditch, OF the Harvard Medical
School, and published by the State
Board of Health. Prof. Bowditch's fig
ures and tables appear to be the most
thoroughgoing and valuable as basis
for scientific deduction In existence.
His own summary OF the most impor.
tant results he has obtained Is as fol.
lows:
'The growth of children takes place
In such way that until the age of II or
IL years boys are both taller and heavier
than girls OF the. same age. but at this
period OF life girls begin to grow very
rapidly, and for the next two or three
years st1rpass boys OF the same age in
both height and weight. Boys then &C.
quire and retain o size superior to that
OF girls, who have now nearly completed
their full growth. Children born Of
American born parents are In Massa-
chusetts taller and heavier than chill
dren OF foreign born parents, q gupe-
rlority which seems to depend partly on
the greater average comfort in which
such children live and grow up, and
partly upon differences OF race or stock.
Pupils Of American parentage at the
public Latin school and other higher
schools are apparently for the same
reasons) superior In height and weight
to the generality of boys of American
parentage In the public schools, and to
English boys OF the non laboring class
attending public schools and universi-
ties, the superiority In weight being, as
o rule. more marked than that In
height"

Bessie Moore, now confined in the
Marion county jail at Jefferson, Texas,
is reported to be In decline.
Andn it appears that County Attor-
ney Roberts, of Goliad county, has been
matchmaking and accepting brides.
Hence he has proceeded contrary to the
advice Of Horace Greeley and has gone
East instead Of West.
A man going by the name of Morris,
OF Bosque county. was arrested recently
In Stephenville, Hood county, for MUIR
dering his brother-in-law at Rutherford
Station, in Tennessee, four years ago.
His real name Is said to be Thomas
Collie.
The caterpillar has appeared in Fort
Bend, Wharton, Waller, Colorado,
Grimes and Washington counties. They
are very destructive in Gonzales and
other surrounding counties. Paris green
is being applied very freely by farmers.
This is the second crop which is hatch
ing out.
The Galveston Neacs, Of July 18th,
says, kilograms for more poison
have been numerous and large during
the past two days. Information has
been received that the worms are already
to be seen at different points in the val
ieys OF the Guadalupe, BraZos, Colo
rado, trinity and Neches rivers. Parties
from the upper country also report the
worms in Grimes and Walker counties.
Owing to its lateness the gravest appre-
tensions are felt for the safety Of the
crop, the planting having been DELAYED
by the presence Of the grasshopper and
cold spring."
