"a ELL was hastily rushed through
the New Jersey Legislature last week
and signed by the Governor, prohib-
iting college and theological students
from voting. The township election
was held on Tuesday, and two theo
logical students were arrested for
violating this law. The penalty for
thus voting, according to the bill, is
$500 fine or one years Imprisonment.
Six college students voted and were
not molested."
About which the North american
says: 1t seems to be a cardinal prin-
ciple of the Democratic faith that
young men who have intelligence and
ambition enough to seek collegiate
education are dangerous men to be
trusted with a ballot. But perhaps
the fact that about nine-tenths of the
whole number vote the Republican
ticket is the prevailing reason for
their disfranchisement. At any rate
the New Jersey Legislature hurried
through in season to affect the town
ship elections a bill declaring the
votes of collegiate and theological
students illegal. Such legislation as
this does not appear to the disinter-
ested spectator to be the best method
of winning converts to the party of
retrenchment and reform. but thev
know best. Seminaries and colleges
are bad training schools for the Dem
ocratic party.

President Hayes and a portion of his
Cabinet. with Mrs. Hayes and few
lady friends, made visit to Philadel-
phia last week, where they we're received
with hearty hospitality. They arrived
on Wednesday, and in the evening held
reception at the Union League Club
House. 81 On Thursday the party visited
the Mint and were given a reception
by the Commercial Exchange. The In
dustrial League on Friday conducted
Mr.. Hayes through prominent Industrial
establishments, such as the Baldwin Lo-
comotiye Works, Sellers Machine Tool
Works, and Whitney's Car-wheel Manu-
factory. Business was generally sus-
pended. the factory bells were rung. and
much enthusiasm shown wherever the
President appeared. In the afternoon
reception was held in independence
Hall, while the ladies of the party visit
ed the schools, and in the evening were
received at the Academy of Fine Arts.
On Saturday they made an extended
excursion into the mining regions of
Pennsylvania. - 7a5uea cGsG9af

yeyed these five monsters, any one of
them being able to gobble me up at a
meal and want more. But I had not

ately in front of me. and bowled him
over as dead as door-nail. His COM
rades started as they saw him fall, and
taking advantage of the pause, 1 dashed
forward over his body toward the tank.
My flight was the signal for pursuit.
Scarcely had l cleared the dead tiger
when four simultaneous roars Of anger
greeted my ears, and | could hear the
crash af the falling bodies as all four
sprang Cor the spot had just vacated.
So eagerwere they that they fell against
one another. But they were disappoint-
ed in their leaps. and, like all felines,
looked ashamed, and hesitated before
making another.

vation. | was not six feet from the fore

broad forehead, | had the satisfaction of
seeing him bite the dust. What
should have done with the other three

hands very unexpectedly. A sudden
Kissing and sputtering arose close by,
and a fery-tailed monster shot through
the air into the midst of the three tigers,
blowing up with loud report immedi-
ately between the two rearmost.
You ought to have seen those crea-
lures get. The rocket took all the fight
out of them in moment, soaring them
almost to death. All three galloped off,
with their tails swelled out to three
times their natural size with terror,
while stood laughing unrestrainedly al
the ludicrous figure cut by my lately
formidable opponents.
Mohammed, the shikkaree, had prov.
ed my salvation. He had been hunting
for me when he heard my first shot close
by, and hastened to the spot to be of as.

the nick of time His rockets proved
even more eficacious than my bullets,

Pennsylvani;

Turtles eggs are held in great esteem
wherever they are found, as well by Eu-
ropeans as others. They have very
soft she'll, and are about the size of
pigeons egg. The mother turtles lay
thrice year. at intervals of two or
three weeks, depositiug in one night as
many as hundred at a laying. An ex-
perienced eye and hand are required to
detect the eggs, as they are always in
geniously covered up with sand; but,
when they are hunted. very few escape.
The Oronoco Indians obtain from
these eggs kind of clear, sweet oil,
which they use instead of butter. In
the month of February, when the high
waters of the Oronoco have receded, mil
lions of turtles come on shore to deposit
their eggs. The certainty and abun-
dance Of the harvest is such that it is
estimated by the acre. The yearly
gatherings about the mouth of the river
alone is about FIVE thousand jars of oil
and it takes FIVE thousand eggs to make
jar.

THE FIR TREE.
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

Hearst thou the song it sings to me?
The endless song Of the dark fir tree,
Before my window, beside my door,
1t sighs and whispers forevermore.
By dawn, or daylight. or nights mid-hour
hear its still small voice Of power,
ETERNITY EternityT'
Is the hourly message it brings to me.
When l am weary and worn with pain,
And the burning sunshine fires my brain,
FAINT and listless and fit for death,
1t swings and rustles with fragrant breath;
"Hot and lonely thy noon may be.
But there is long. long rest for thee;
ETERNITY Eternityl"
This is the psalm of the old fir tree.
Sometimes the storms of summer pour.
The lightnngs dazzle, the thunders roar;
Those dark boughs groan, and writhe, and sway,
But signing and moaning still they say
IAN end to the tempests of earth shall be;
A tranquil morning awaiteth thee
Eternityl Eternityl
Beyond the fateful and angry sea-"
When winter hath scattered leaf and rose.
And the boughs bend low with heavy SHOWS,
Their patient dropping lesson lends.
To life borne down with the care He sends.
"Bend to thy burden awhile for thee
The weight and the wear of toll must be,
Etemityl Eternityl
From care and carking shall set Free"
II the ways of man my spirit vex,
And the ways of God my soul perplex.
When He hath taken my lfe's desire,
And molten my heart in His fning fire.
When the dearest eyes cannot see,
And the voice longed for is dead to me;
"Waitl for thy longing shall find the key;
Eternity Eternityl
There shall the daysprlng come back to thee"
SOfty singeth the dark fir tree.
When shall sleep in my quiet grave;
Oh kindly fir tree above me wavel
Utter thy anthems to one who grieves
Under thy shining, singing leaves;
keep thy faith like the fadeless treel
Tender and true let memory be.
Eternityl EternityI
There thy lost love is waiting for theel'
Blest be thy music. oh dark fir treel
And blessed the Maker who fashioned thee

THE DEEPEST MINEs-Twenty years
ago the deepest mining shaft in the
world reached only about 1000 feet be-
low the surface. The very deepest, we
believe, was metalliferous mine in
Hanover, which had been carried down
to depth of 2.26O feet. The deepest
perpendicular shaft, to-day, is the Adel-
bert shaft, in a silver-lead mine in Priz-
ibram. in Bohemia, which has reached
depth of 3,27O feet. The attainment of
that depth was made the occasion of a
three days festival, and still further no.
ticed by striking off large number of
(, commemorative silver medals of the val
ue of form each. There is no record
of the beginning of work on the mine,
although its written history goes back
to 1927. Quite recently an elegant COM
memorative volume has been written and
printed, which is most interesting read
ing to those who have taste for either
the actualities or antiquities of mining
industry. There are two localities, how
ever, where greater depth has been
reached than at the Adelbert shaft, but
not in a perpendicular line. These are
l. The rock salt bore hole near Speren-
berg, not far from Berlin. which few
years ago had been bored to depth of
4,l75 feet 2. The coal mine In Vivi-
ers Remus, in Belgium, where the min
ers, by shaft-sinking, together with bor-
ing, have reached total depth of 3,542
feet. Turning from these two mines, no
shaft in unbroken perpendicular line has
as yet exceeded the depth of $3.50 feet

A DISSATISFIED WITNESS.

She was farmers wife, and, as she
took the witness stand in case before
Justice Brown, she had her hands clench-

her eye was evidence that she was burn
