La Belle M0rte.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

Idreamed pleasant dream of Death,
As lady fair and bright,
Who came to my bedside suddenly
In the stiffness Of the night.
Art thou afraid of me?" she said,
In tones so sweet and low
That knew she spoke as kindly friend,
And not as q vengeful foe;
And answered cheerfully, and smiled,
mo, my beloved; mol
"why should Ifear7 Thou cans't not CEN
An hour before thy time.
II It's thine hour, twill be thine hour,
Appointed and sublime.
I should have lived my life in vain,
Nor seen where all things tend,
If I'd not surely known and felt
That thou wouldst be my friend.
And that beginning were but loss
Unless for the blessed end.
Come to me, then, o, kindly DeathI
Ifear thee not at ALL
The immortal mind can never be
The mortal body's thrall.
see thee stretch thy radiant hand
To open wide the door
Through which my spirit, glad to pass,
Shall surge, and spring, and soar,
And learn to learn, and know to know,
EveHand evermoreI
Dear mother! on thy face Hook,
And feel myself a child,
And know thou'lt purify my soul
From all that hath defiled.
I've noregrets to leave a world
Whose doleful paths I've trod;
Come when thou wilt; I'm well content
To rest in the quiet sod,
And go with thee to the Spirit-land.
To my Father and my GodP'

Fine Job Work a Specially.

Tomato seeds require a different
management, because they are more
tender. In this case leave the earliest,
finest. smoothest, largest fruit on the
vines till slight frost admoni.hes us
of winters approach. Then gather
them, lay them on a board in the sun
duriog the day, but in the house at
night, for three or four days; then cut
the tomato in half across the stem way
scoop out the core, seeds and all,
throw them into a bucket till they
sour and furment, wash out the seeds,
dry perfectly in the sun, not in the
oven, and put in dry place.

down by the constitution Of competing
lines. This has led many influential
men who had before set their faces like
fiints against the proposition for Govern
ment to guarantee the payment Of the
5 per cent interest on the construction
bonds of the Texas Pacific road to 3
reconsideration of the premises on which
they founded their opposition; and the
benefits which they seem confident as
certain to accrue from the opening up of
the rich country along the line of the
proposed road and the branches whose
construction would inevitably follow that
of the trunk line, seems to have con
verted into warmest advocates many of
those as sturdily opposed to the enter
prise at the last session. With the in
gratitude of Huntington and his fellows
still fresh before the public and with the
efforts they have made to eyade their
obligations still fresh in mind, any com
pany seeking Government aid or coun-
tenance will certainly be required to
guarantee its exemption from possible
loss and from any of the troubles and
annoyances it has experienced at the
hands of those who have grown enor
mously rich on its bounty and insolent
instead of grateful for its indulgencies.
But opposition to the countenance asked
by the Texas Pacific has been based
chiefly by the bad faith exhibited by
Huntington and Company rather than
from any danger of loss in the limited
endorsement requested; and it now looks
as if this might be forgotten in the desire
to punish their inordinate greed and to
relieve the commerce and business in
terests OF a whole continent laying at
their mercy and within their power to
paralyze, till second road to the Pacific
shall have been built and equipped.
Very few save the bitterest personal
enimies and most unscrupulous parti
zans will sympathize with the animus
just now exhibited towards Ex-Governor
Shepherd of this District, by few news
papers published here and elsewhere, lest
he should be awarded the credit he has
earned in the leading part he has
taken with few otherWashingtonians.in
loading down to her guards the steamer
Chambers with necessaries and delica
cies for the fever sufferers, and dispatch
ing her on her errand of mercy down
the Mississippi from st Louis. Every
old scandal ever heard of in his connec-
ton with the Board of Public Works
stands chance of being dug up by these
ghauls. But there are few men better
fitted by executive capacity to organize
the means of relief needed in this terri
bic emergency than Mr. Shepherd; and
he has the confidence of this whole com
munity with few exceptions, in his
praiseworthy efforts to rob the pestilence
of some ofits terrors. MAXWELL

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Special Corresp ondent
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. z. 78.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Oct. z, 7S.
The gross partizanship of the Demo
cratic members of the last House so far
as it related to the seating of Patterson
in Belfords place, has been fittingly re-
baked in the Colorado election. The
record made by most Of fthem during the
season was conclusive against any hope
of reaching them by the scriptural meth
cd of punishment, for the many legisla.
tive outrages perpetrated and others that
barely failed the votes necessary to be-
come laws. Instead of heaping Goals of
tre on their heads, it was a waste of am
munition to attempt their chastisement
by methods that have proved eficacious
with tie ordinary run of trarsgressors.
Indeed, nothing that did not directly
appeal to their fears of being left politi-
caily stranded and deserted for the ex
cesses into which they plunged during a
session that is unamiably notorious above
all its Predecessors, held out a single
hope of mobilization of the vicious
programme that it was apparent to all
they had consented to. But we NAV
hope such menace of their enforced
retirement at the close of the 46th Con-
gress as comes from the State they de-
liberately disenfranchised, may exert an
influence for good in the session about
to convene, and impose restrsint on
those with constituencies SO hopelessly
indifferently to the good opinion of the
balance of the country as to haye given
them a denomination. The Colorado
lesson confirms that taught by Oregon a
few weeks earlier, to the effect that no
party allying itself with oppressive mo-
nopolies can hope to escape the infamy
they nicely deserve by consenting to
such an unholy alliance.
Partly, at least, the managers of the
Union and Central. Pacific r R have
their greed to thank for the change few
months have wrought in public senti-
ment in favor of the lines projected to
compete with them for the rapidly
growing trade between Atlantic and
Pacific seaports- They seem to have
become 30 blinded by their own grasping
ayarice as to have over-reached them
selves and played directly into the hands
Of those seeking to divide with them the
profits of this trafic. With the depressed
condition of business and the margin for
profit on what was being done 80 narrow
that next to nothing was left after pay
ing the freight rates at that time exacted
by Huntington and his associates, an
advance was ordered that forced busi-
ness men everywhere to the conclusion
that they must abandon all business re-
quiring for its transaction the aid of
either of the two companies controlling
the only route across the continent, or
the oppressive monopoly must be broken

The Use OF the Diamond.

The Boston Courier, in speaking Of
the use of the diamond, says, the SER
vices of the diamond as an ornament,
are so conspicuous that few people ever
think of it as an article of usefulness.
With the one well known exception of
the glazier, no tradesman or mechanic
is supposed to put it to any practical
purpose, or to estimate it by any other
standard than that of beauty and rari-
ty. A scientific gentleman, well ac-
quainted with mining operations, points
out very important use which is made
Of the diamond in sinking shafts and
piercing rocks. Experience has shown
that the employment of an instrument
so costlyis amply justified by the saving
In time effected by substituting it for a
cheaper and blunter weapon, and the
consequence is that in a great many
mines and tunnels it is already used for
boring the hardest rocks. The inven-
ton is by no means new, but few peo-
pie know the exact nature of the nlodus
operandi or its extreme simplicity. A
cylindrical tube of steel is fitted at one
of its ends with q number of stones set
at regular intervals round its rim, and
arranged to resemble row Of teeth so
that when the tube is made to revolve
on its axis these teeth act as a circular
saw. and rapidly cut their way into even
the hardest granite. At the end of the
tube first set in motion may be attached
by welding them firmly, any number Of
similar tubes, and the spinning move
ment is communicated to the whole Of
the long gimlet by an engine applied TO
its further extremity.
The perforator travels with a marvel
GUS rapidity, and the rock, as it is cut,
pushes its way into the tube, from
which it is afterward extracted, some
times in lengths of as much as six feet.
At Bohmisch Bood, in some difficult
workings through the quartz rock,
passage of 40 feet in length was cut
with one of those instruments in "a
hours, whereas, with any other tools,
it would have taken five or six times as
long, with little or no economy of ex-
pense. The diamonds do not, of course,
last forever, and the loss of one gener-
ally destroys for the time the efficiency
of the machine. But they can be re-
placed. and that more readily, inasmuch
as stones of an inferior kind seem to
act as well as those of the first water.

.sTake Your Head Out OF the Light.

1t often happens these days, when
the car-lights are lit early, that many
OF the passengers strive to occupy the
time riding to their homes in reading
the evening newspapers. Ithappens,
too, quite frequently that, thought
lessly no doubt, those who do not care
for reading seem to care quite as little
for the convenience or comfort OF
those who do, and by the positions in
which they hold their heads, shut out
the faint light from the readers, when
little attention to ordinary ciyility
would enable them to just as readily
take their heads out Of the light Such
courtesy costs nothing, and though the
action be so slight as to be unnotieed,
il may prove quite comfort to the
man sitting beside you, and save him
from some unkind thoughts of you
which he would hardly care to whisper
into your ear, or to which you would
care to listen. 1t is good rule to go
through this world with, to take your
head out OF the light" whenever younnd

Every day brings many opportunities
for man to ''take his head out Of the

Henry made break for the door, but
she saw the movement, and grabbing
up lump Of dough as big as a water
melon she brought it down over his
head and gave it a twist around his
neck, as though she was putting the
finishing touches on an apple dumping,
while Henry, blinded by the involun-
tary mask, fed across the front room
only to fall out of the open window,
breaking the eggs he had for breakfast
across the sill, and dropping through
the open cellar door into the coal pile,
where the old woman held him at bay
with soft pumpkin pie, while Martha
scrubbed the dough out Of his ears and
the smut off his nose with the stove
brush she had been using up stairs.
When Henry got out he confdentially
button holed Oxtoby and remarked,
with cautious look over his shoulder:
'I always thought Ben Franklin was
