of the water just ahead of her, followed by
roar round the lake, and the words "Con-
found it ALL" and a rattle OF the oars again.
The doe saw the boat nearing her; she
turned irresolutely to the shore whence she
came; the dogs were tapping the water and
bowling there; she turned again to the center
of the lake.
The brave, pretty creature was quite ex-
hausted now. In a moment more, with
rush of water, the boat was on her, and the
man at the oars had leaned over and caught
her by the tail.

He took the paddle in his hand. Just then

with her great appealing eyes.

And the gentleman ate that night of the

The buck returned about the middle of the
afternoon. The fawn was bleatDg piteously,
hungry and lonesome. The buck was sur
prised. He looked about in the forest. He
took circuit and came back, His doe was
nowhere to be seen. He looked down at the
fawn in a helpless sort of way. The fawn ap-

On Iunisfalen's fairy isle,
Amid the booming bushes
We leaut upon the lovers stile,
And listen TO the thrushes;
When first sighed to see her smile,
And smiled to see her bushes
Her hair was bright as beaten gold,
And soft as sfider's spinning,
Her cheek out bloomed the apple old
That set our parents SHINING,
And in her eyes you might behold
My joys and griefs beginning.
In Innisfallen's fairy grove
hushed my happy wooing,
To listen to the brooding dove
Amid the branches cooling;
But oh! how short those hours OF love,
How long their bitter rueingl
Poor cushati thy complaining breast
With woe like mine is he 4viog.
With thee mourn frutless quest;
For ah! with art deceiving
The cuckoo-hird has robbed my nest,
And left me wildly greying.

Beet-Sugar Made in Maine.

The Portland Press says:--W Wednesday October 30, 1878, will be memorable in the annals of this State, for on that day, and in the presence of Gov. Connor, the Maine Beet Sugar Company of Portland, turned out over 12, 900 pounds of granu- lsted sugar, the first ever made in the United States from beets grown in America. Several establishments have, it is true, made small quantities of raw sugar of excellent quality, but regular boiling of refined sugar, made from raw beet sugar produced in the United States, has never before been attempted in the Atlantic States. Gov. Connor, and a number of distinguished gentle men visited the Forest City sugar re- fnery to witness the process, which in most respects was the same as that used in the refining of similar sugar from the cane. The company has already ex- pended $15, ,OOO in cash, and will proba- ply pay out $1O,O00 more in their com paratively limited operations of the present season. This sum was all spent in the employment of labor, and most of it in the State of Maine. The product of the present year will not be sufficient to ent1tle the company to much bounty, yet the present crop, small as it is, will save the people of Maine about $1O,O00 that would otherwise be paid out for foreign sugars.

The Drill Which Bores Square Holes.

One of the novelties of the Paris Ex- position is drill which bores square holes, the invention of MT. Julius Hall of London. The work is done, too, says correspondent of the Scientific Neaos, in 8 way so simple and so easy that any one may prove the fact for him. self. The invention has excited genuine astonishment among the mechanics gathered at the Exposition, There is a constant crowd surrounding the inven- tor, watching him bore hole after hole square, and puzzling over the provok- ingly simple solution of the problem. All that is required is an ordinary hand drill-stock. A stationary one, with a chuck below for holding the work, is used by the inventor; but he says 8 common brace will answer" anything, in fact, will do that will properly hold the drill" The tool itself is the usual form of three-square drill-so that no special apparatus is required. Clamp or chuck this drill in it's holder so that f' it will wobble," that is the whole secret. Instead of making round hole, as it will if tightly grasped, when loosely held it produces a square one; and, ac- cording to the inventor, it is immaterial whether the drill wobbles in the work or the work under the drill.

The Spanish Assassin.

The young man who lately attempted to assassinate King Alfonso, of Spain, is named Juan Oliva Moncasi. He is by trade cooper, and is a native of the Province of Tarragona. He is married, and has one daughter. On being in- terrogated, he declared that he belonged to the International Society, and that he had come from Tarragona to Madrid with the intention of killing the King, but that he had confded the object of his journey to nobody, not even to his wife. The pistol he used was double barreled one. He only discharged one of the barrels, having dropped the weapon immediately after firing at the King, who, hearing report of firearms, and seeing flash, checked his horse moment and looked back to see if any of his suite had been wounded, and then went on to the palace without showing the least emotion. Some women who had seen Oliva fire pointed him out to the Police. The bullet, after wounding soldier slightly, imbedded itself in wall on the opposite side of the street.

Gambling at Washington.

In old times, says a gambler of Wash ington, writing to 8 local paper, we thought nothing of having a thousand or two up on turn. There was old Humphrey Marshall. He was prince. I never saw an amateur in my experience of forty years who would put down as much cold money out of his hands as Marshall. Somefellows, you know, are queer about cards. There was the other Marshall. He was different from Hum- phrey that way. He laid himself out on piling his stack of chips up to the cell ing. But Humphrey would come in and pull the cold cash out of his clothes and put it all down on turn. He made lots of money, lived like lord, and never seemed to be short Hold up. Yes, he was short once, that's fact. It was about the time that he came from Chili, where he was American Minister. He came into the rooms one day and said his wife wanted an addition to the house, and he was going to give her money to build it with right off that table, and he did He walked off with $4, 400 on three turns, and, next day, began work on his house. He played just like one of us-cool as ice all the time.
 Some of those foreign fellows used to be game, especially the Russians. guess it's in the blood with them any how, they all had it in the old days, from Bodisco down. He was queer coon, but the most systematic man at the game you ever saw. He used to set aside just so much money for this little fun. If he was in luck he'd play ahead, and sometimes cleared stake, but gen. eralIy he didn't turn up we'll. and when so much was gone he'd push his chair back from the table and say quietly, in always the same words: "Ze appro- priation for zat is all exhaust" Then, if he didn't feel tired, he looked on for while before going home. He never went over his limit on the appropriation. The fellows connected with the Russian legation then used to come around nearly every day, some of them playing big.
 
 difference, for they were just as good as old wheat. The bank kept a regular &C., count with them by the month, and when their sinews of war came around they'd clear the slate.
 In old times I don't believe there were more than half 8 dozen members we didn't know we'll in business way, but I swear now as @ gentleman that not more than four members of the last Congress ever came to our rooms. They get together on short cards in their room at the hotel and play on 25-cent ante and $s5 limit, and if man loses $10 in the course of a night he goes out next day and puts crape on his hat. Why, the man that wins $25 on @ turn now thinks his reputation for gambler is established, and he begins to talk about us fellows that play. If we can't do better than that ell have to turn in and eat each other up.

The Disappointed Police.

They sing this in New York city, much to the discontinue of the Police |: Said Policeman 1O,9O4, as his locust he swung by the station house door, ''This robbing grave is the worst of all tricks" "That's so," said Policeman 9,OO6 And Policeman 12,8O7 he said to 8,911 {: "We1l combine with 6,6O5, and hive the scamps as sure's you're alive" But 6,605 made no sign, his partner was No. 4,O09; asa9tshe others were forced, as the next bestAof men, to consult 16, 710. 16,- 71O said that he only worked with g. 7O3 while 2,O14 remarked he was cer- tain he'd ferret it out with 4,O13. Po- iceman 9,750 said "Money's too little too stingy, too thrifty; increase the reward, and two men are plenty, myself and 2, ,320." 4,O09 said that he was con- fident-well, as fellow could be, that the only couple to put the thing through were himself and 3, 102. In spite of their wisdom they all couldn't get the thieves or the body, and haven't them yet: but it's clear as fog that the thing had been done, had they sent for 7,8O1.

An Arkansas Crime.

The Little Rock Gazette says:- Deputy Sheriff Slack arrived in this city yesterday evening with James Ferry, Charles and George Hall, two men and 8 boy, charged with robbing a man named Fisher. It appears that Fisher and the other above-named persons were on south-bound Iron Mountain freight-train night before last, and that at given signal Fisher was seized and robbed of $9 in money, pistol, pair of boots and several other articles. After the robbery had been committed the villains held Fisher up to window, and, placing a pistol to his head, de- manded of him to jump out or he would be killed. Not knowing what else to do, and being perfectly helpless in the fierce bands clutching him, he obeyed. One of his arms was broken by the fall, and other injuries sustained. He lay till next morning, when he was taken up and carried to Deputy Stacks house. Next day the robbers, who, it seems, got off the train of their own accord, were arrested. One of them had the boots on, and on the person of one tue pistol was found. They told different stories in regard to where they were from, but from correctness of descrip- tion there can be but little doubt that they are the robbers. The examining trial will come up before Justice Howe as soon as MT. Fishers injuries will admit of his appearing. In the mean time the jail will have three additional occupants,
