Business Chances.

" ltls very common to see articles on
sale on different markets throughout
the country that have been manufac-
tured from material that is product of
the same locality, but that has been
shipped long distances to be manufac-
tured. 1t is evident to all who stop to
consider that there must be an expense
on such articles that could be saved
either to the profit Of the purchaser or
to some party, who, with suitable ma
chinery, could manufacture the articles
on the spot, and thus save large freight
bills and several profits, as the goods
pass through different dealers hands.
There are thousands of thoughtful
mechanics who have already taken ad-
vantage of this condition of things by
providing themselves with an outfit OF
Barnes Patent Foot Power Machinery.
Many have commenced with only one
Of these machines, and accumulated
with it until they have procured a com
plete outfit, with which they are able to
carry on business successfully. An
instance of such success is given by MIR.

A remarkable case of defective vision
is that of the three children of James
Howard, a seafaring man, whose family
live on Ocracoke Island. They become
totally blind each day Immediately af-
ter the sun goes down. If by chance
they happen to be in the yard playing
when the sun sets playthings are in
stantly laid aside and efforts made to
reach the house, when they soon after
retire and sleep soundly until sunrise
after which their sight is described as
being restored and to all appearances
perfectly unimpaired. The Youngest is
three and the oldest ten years old; two
boys and one girl, all of light complex
ion. Their eyes. are light blue and
there is nothing about them that ap-
bears at all strange.

BLUSH ROSES.
BY LYDIA F. HINMAN .

Down the garden path maiden,
Walked at close of day.
While the silver vail of twilight,
G altered round her way,
As from rose to rose she fitted,
kissing here and there,
Drops of honey dew that glistened
On the tloWerets tair.
Came lover down the pathway,
UnobServed and sly. ........
Till ne stood beside the laSsle,
Now 50 wondrous shy,
Stealing honey dew and kisses.
[ must have some too
And he bent and kissed the rosebuds,
Meath the eyes of blue.
And they tell the smiling roses,
Caught the bushes red,
AS the maiden, in tus1on,
Bent her dainty head.
And next day the sunbeams wondered
How the roSeS's light,
Had turned red as crimson bushes,
In one single night. ......

claiming desert land on the Giila, oppo-

claws tearing loose any coils that may
be thrown around his body. He has al

Secretary Evarts on Political Issues.

Now, THERE are three questions be-
fore the people of the country to-day,
and they are all public, all unselfish, all
patriotic, all elevated, and all ennobling
as subjects of contemplation and of ac-
ton. They are the public peace in the
large and general sense that | have in
dicated, they are the public faith, with
out which there is no such thing as
honorable national life, and the public
service, which, unless pure and strong
and noble, makes all the peans of free
government but doggerel in our ears.
Now, in regard to the public faith, the
same principles which have indicated
as showing that we have passed the
stage of antagonism, of hostility, to
that of harmony, and a desire to sue
cor people-with these great burdens Of
the public debt and of the nations bur-
dens-they are great burdens, they do
impose great difficulties, they do in
clude, perhaps, great dangers-we need
no hostilities between North and South,
none between East and West, none be-
tween debtor and creditor; we need all
our resources, all our wealth, all our
gold, all our silver, all our industry and
all our thrift. Bear, then, with such
differences of opinion as grow out OF
differences of situation; make the most
of the brotherhood and the least OF the
dissension; see the great and common
burdens rest unequally and are to be
borne unequally; see to 1t that there
shall be no failures in that perfect dis
position on the part of the wealthy and
powerful States of New England and
every wealthy district share with the
country in bearing the burdens that
rest more heavily upon others than
upon ourselves. Let us remember that
wise maxim of Mr.. Webster, who, in
the bitterest of the strifes of his declin-
ing wears, used no words of harshness
against disputants, and was ready to
say of them as he did say: "They are
not bad men, but bad reasoners."
And now about the public service.
Well, on that subject it may be said
that one good example teaches more
than many precepts, and perhaps in an
after-dinner speech the least said is the
soonest mended. But, nevertheless
there should be no step backward, II
magistrates, in statesmen, in preachers
i'm teachers, in editors, in the people
We must 90 on. We do understand a.
people the difficulties that we arr
in. We do understand as ,peo
pie the methods by which we hay,
reached them, and we do understand,
think, the way out of them. 1t may b.
hedged with difficulties and opposes
with dangers. 1t touches the very lif
of free government; it touches the yer,
sincerity Of the public methods OF tn
nation, for such Is human nature that

A Shocking Report Concerning the Wreck
Of the Huron.

WASHINGTON, Dec. p.
Lieut.. Walter Walton, Assistant In
spector of the Life-Saving Service on
the North Carolina coast, in his report
in relation to the loss of the Huron,
shows that Evan O'Neill, fisherman
of Nag's Head, discovered the Huron
coming on shore at 80 a. m. the morn
ing the disaster occurred. She drifted
and pounded along the outer edge of
the bar and finally struck, broadside on.
He heard shots and screams on board
the stranded vessel; saw rockets go up,
followed by burning signals from end
to end, so that even the light rigging
and men could plainly be seen. A boat
on the starboard side, full of men, dis
appeared when the foremast fell. The
shouting and screaming continued, and
in about an hour and a quarter after he
first discovered the ship, signaling
ceased and all was darkness. O'Neill
then went home, ate his breakfast, and
did not return to the wreck until after
sunrise. He knew where the keeper of
the life-saving station lived, only two
and half miles distant, had good
boat and free wind to 90 and return in
side of Roanoke Island, and yet he re-
mained silent and Indifferent for three
hours.
The report concludes: 1T is shock
ing to record that out of ninety-one
bodies, about twelve of whom were
officers, not single trinket, such as
would be deemed a relic by the rela-
tives of the dead, was found on the
bodies. Watches and chains, money,
and even finger rings had been stripped
off by those who first found the bodies
as they washed up. Good evidence is
found in the case of Lieut.. Simmons,
whose third and fourth fingers of the
left hand had been scratched and
gouged by body robbers in their haste
to secure their ill-gotten booty"

The Horrors Of Plevna.

The London NeaOS correspondent at
Plevna sends to that paper terrible
story of the state of things prevailing
in and around the captured town. He
says: " Before the recent storm Plevna
was simply q charnel-house. Modern
warfare has no parallel for it, and its
horrors can only be compared to those
which followed in the wake of Genghis
Khan or Timour, as their savage Tartar
hordes swept over and desolated Asia.
"The famished dogs, of which there
are always large numbers in every
Turkish town, were feeding on the
corpses of the dead and the bodies of
the still living wounded. The savage
howls of the greedy brutes as they tore
the putrid flesh of the dead or crunched
the bones between their teeth, the cries
and groans of the wounded as they
vainly struggled with the dogs, might
be heard for miles around and made the
soul sick. Birds were pecking at the
skulls, hopping from body to body with
beaks and plumage besmeared with hui
man blood and screaming with fiendish
delight. Dogs fought among them
selves, and bird struggled with bird for
but pOSoCSSlOn vi LlOlSCl VI uuludu
flesh, and the most indescribable horror
prevailed.
"In one house alone thirty-seven dead
and fifty-three wounded Turks were
found, some of the former in half de-
composed and putrid state, and the
wounded in a condition that can be
more easily imagined than described.
Some of the wounded were able to crawl
about and clutched at odd morsels of
food that were found in the hands of
the dead, devouring it with feverish
avidity; but thousands of them were ut
terly helpless and awaited death or sue
cor with listless fatalism.
eighteen hundred prisoners were
huddled together on the bank of the
Vid, and the horrors of their position
equaled those of the great plague which
