The Telegraph and Telephone.

The world stood still for thousand years
And crept for thousand more
Thls wonderful world with wings for ears
Like the Messenger god of yore-
And winged feet and winged wand.
AND wing on its either hand
And more than Mercury wore.
IL brides and rides furnaces foal,
With iron and hammer for sire:
GREAT clouds of smoke from their nostrils roll
AS 1t feeds its horses fire;
Ihey are blooded stock, the engines swift
Beneath their heels the distances drift
Like SHOWS from the Arctic pole!
Ihev rattle across meridian lines,
And down the parallels play,
They marry together the palms and pines
Athousand miles in day.
The world has trained wonderful wire
nerve of a route for articulate fire,
And taught the lightnings to saw:
Dear Mary, be MINER q Car load of swine,r
One ton of cheese" " Maria dead"
Joy it's boy!" ~ I'm coming to dine"
" Send soap,"" She's married to Fred
The humblest of words like angels fly,
thousand miles in the flash of an eye
You hear before they are said!
What happened at ten you know at nine,
And you away in the West,
They distance along the lightning line
The sun in his golden rest.
They talk to-day in audible tone,
The telegraph turns the telephone
And parted lovers are blest!
Think of girl in lonely hour,
No beau in a forty mile,
She sits by the tube of talking power,
She thinks minute and smiles,
I'll call my Joan" you fancy her say,
He lives but hundred miles away,
And Danish the weary whiles.
Behold them at the end Of the line,
This John and blackeyed boon,
His head and hers to the wire incline,
And she sings him Bonny Doom.
He sighs for the only thing amiss.
he has voice, but then he cant--kiss!
He might as well be in the moon!
For emptier than the east winds laugh,
Is q lovers kiss by telegraph,

How Englands Commerce is to be Pyeyed Upon
IN the Event # War.

special dispatch to the N. Y. Herald
from London says: The English newspa-
pers still seriously discuss the dangers to
British commerce from privateers fitted
out in the ports of the United States. The
Globe of last evening says editorially "Our
Cronstadt correspondent writes that the
scheme of fitting out privsteers in America
is making rapid progress A large num-
Der of seamen belonging to the Baltic feet
are under orders and in readiness to pro-
ceed to the United States at moments
office.
1t is rumored that the Grand Duke Alex
is will be appointed Admiral of the priya-
teer squadron, and that during his recent
visit to New York the project was thor
oughly canvased III the event of war with
England.
Our CORES pendent states that he has
conidentially seen the official list of the
officers = xignatel by tho Grand Duke Oon-
stantine to proceed to America to purchase,
equip and command the steamers that are
to prey upon tie commerce of Great Brit
ain.
The enterprise will be carried out with
great caution. 1t is asst rted among Rus
sian officials that the first intimatiou Eng
land will receive Of the proceedings of th g
the Russian admiralty will be when the
officers, who have already left Cronstadt,
organize in American ports crews Of Fin
nish sailors, summoned, under the stress of
conscription, from the decks of English
vessels lying there.
The idea of forming powerful fleet in
America is very popular throughout Rus
sia, because it is thought that severe blow
can be given to English commerce at its
very center-nanely, its carrying trade
from the United States The scheme
causes intense delight among the Baltic
seamen.
1t is asserted in other quarters, although
the rumor has not yes got into pint, that
owners of large nambers of steamers in
several parts Of Europe are making ar
Engagements to send all vessels not required

The Eddystone liz sht-house is to be re-
built. If it were not rebuilt, the approach
es to the naval station of Plymouth would
have to be deepened, and to do this, 2,OOO,-
900 tons of rock would need to be taken
out. The cost of this would be over $2,-
500, 600, and SO it has been concluded that
to re-erect the Eddystone will be cheaper.

Gen. Miles telegraphs the Lieutenant
General that the Nez Perces who escaped
from him and found refuge in Sitting Bulls
camp are very desrous of surrendering to
the United States authorities. They COM
plain bitterly of the treatment they are re-
ceiving at the hands of the Sioux. Flog-
ging is a punishment that is meted out to
them for the amusement Of their torment
ors. They have been told by Sitting Bull
that all of their tribe who surrendered to
Miles have since been tried and hung.
This cock and bull story they have been ln-
clined to believe half true. They now ask
that one Of their tribe be allowed to meet
them on the border, and if he tells them
that their former comrades are still alive,
they will recross the Canadian line and sur
render to the military.

IL is pointed out by the New York Mau that
the losses by fire to the country during the
month of November viii be even greater than
Tor October, in which month an unusual de-
structiOn of property from this cause was noted.
The losses of the first ten days of the month ag-
gregated in the neighbOrhOOd Of a million and a
half OF dollars. Twenty-One of the fires within
that period burned up property TO the value Of
$4,000 each. The remainder were more de-
Structive. Akron. Ohio; Murfreesboro, Tennes-
see; and New York city have had 1000 fires;
Abilene, Kansas, suffered $4,000 loss; O5wegO.

The medical Inspector OF Philadelphia pro-
poses the erection OF free lighthouses on the
Schuylkiil or Delaware. or both streams, and
estimates the cost at less than $4,000 for con-
structiOn and maintenance and attendance dur
Ing the first year. The Ledge approves the
proposition as timely, and thinks that the
amount suggested is not too much for the city
TO spend in work of that kind, since the bath
houses are to be used as sanitary agents, and
not as places of public amrlsements only. By
the way, public baths are even greater neces-
sity in Washington than in Philadelphia The
sanitary needs are as great, and at present there
are scarcely any facilities for public bathing
anywhere in the vicinity of Washington, al
though the city has an extensive water front.
