through Portsmouth, the other day, on
her return. from the. continent, the
whole resources OF the dock-yard es-
Enlistment were concentrated upon
the enterprise Of preventing common
eyes from gazing even for moment
upon Her Majesty. Orders carefully
written out on large foolscap reached
the dock yard from the Admiralty, d.
recting that no person other than the
select few officially engaged should,
upon any pretense whatever, be al
lowed even 70 approach. the railway
ietty where the Queen would disem-
bark. The ral-Superintendent,
improving upon these instructions,
issued directions to the master-rigger
to prevent any of his men assembling
at the windows Of the rigging-loft. The
keen eye of the Admiral Superintend-
ent had also taken note of the advan-
tages supplied by the colorsloft of per-
hitting an undisturbed view Of the top
of the railway carriage in which the
Queen would ride. Strict orders were
accordingly issued to prevent the
women in the .color-loft from assem-
bling 1t this highly-favored point Of
view. That nothing might b wanting

Musical Beaches.

Most lovely of the beaches is that known as the " singing" or the "musi- cal lands," at Manchester, Mass, said to be one of the finest of the few of its kind known in the world. Hugh Miller describes one which he visited in the bay of Laig, among the Hebrides, and he thought that the third only that had been discovered, one of the other two being in Arabia Petrea; but another is mentioned near Fort Macon, in Georgia, and one among the mountains of Switzer- land. A gentleman who is somewhat familiar with geology, and who has travelled over large part of the Massa- chusetts coast, says that he has found small patches of the singing gand on several beaches, bit at Rockport, at Dana's or " Graves beach, and on Plum leland, off Newburyport. He ascribes the sound to some quality in the rocks of the beach, whose crystals, being dis integrated and transformed into the sand, give forth that peculiar ring. In the case of this Manchester beach, the end farthest from 1" Eaglehead" is most susceptible, and when the sand is per fectly dry on the landward side, it gives forth very melodious tone, not unlike the fine prolonged sound produced when glasses are struck together, it being especially distinct if the feet are drawn swiftly over it. It seemsin some degree electrical, as the person who thus scram- bles through it experiences a certain tinkling sensation in the soles of the feet.

he had to grasp the bridle; and even if he could use it, he could not get at his revolver. If he laid the child on the ground, before he could defend him. self and get her again the bandits would be upon him. So he concluded to press onward.
 The villain rushed toward him, ex-- claiming as he raised the pistol and took aim:
 "Al Jsaa SC canta l0 gloria" Boast not till the victory is won).
 At that moment there was low re- port, scarcely audible for the distance, and the Mexican reeled in his saddle and fell to the earth.
 The colonel looked ahead of him, and there, fully half mile away, stood a tall Kentuckian grasping rife which he had just discharged.
 The colonel pushed on, and as he ssed the soldier, the latter said:
 ssI rather guessed I fetched him, solonel."
 Yes; it was splendid shot. Go into camp. You will be corporal when you get there.
 ''A corporal" muttered the tall Ken tuckian. Mighty lucky shot, that. Didn't expect to be corporal for a year yet. Lucky shot, that, you bet P
 In few moments more the colonel plunged into camp amid wild yell of cheers and discharge from the battery, which rolled over the plains and across the river into Mexico, announcing that the colonel had won the race. Potter s M0TLhkU

Dangers of Wail Street.

There isn't better place in the United
 States to stay away from than Wall
 streeb--with the exception, perhaps, of
 Memphis or New Orleans in yellow fever season. know five men who went there to try their luck about year ago. l One was confidential clerk in a foreign
 house that operated largely in the street. He was in a good position to get "points," and the understanding
 was that the others should operate upon
 them, letting him in for a share of the
 profits in consideration of the informa- tion he should furnish. These five ! formed little ring with cash capital
 of about $50,000. They hadn't the slightest doubt about doubling it in six
 months. They were to be on equal
 ground with the biggest operators so far as "points were concerned, and no
 such word as fail could be found in the
 lexicon of their calculations. Where
 are they now2 Well. the confidential
 clerk is in lunatic asylum. One of the others is a strees-car conductor at | $1. .75 day. A second is clerk in an in-
 insurance office at ten dollars week.
 A third made his way West toward the
 Black hills, and has not since been heard from. The last of the party of five still hangs around the street, watch | ing the indications, but unable to put up even five dollars in a bucket-shop. Their whole capital melted away in three months, and they were left with out dollar. Here Is another case: A
 aRce considered himself too smart to be l beaten at any game. He lived in fine style, kept horses and carriage, and
 was we'll known in society. The Wall street fever struck him and he began to speculate. He made out pretty well at tho start, and that led him into larger operations In less than six months
 from the day he put up his first SIG, GOO
 margin, he was an insolvent debtor,
 with suits against him by the brokers,
 through whose hands all his money had l passed He now manages to scrape up
 cheap living as an insurance agent,
 but he is hard pressed half his time for l his board. This man has told me more l than once that the affection of his wife l ig the only thing that has kept him from
 suicide. Scores of such warnings against
 tempting the goddess of the Stock Ex-
 change might be given, but so long as
 her snares are set, men will walk straight
 into them, with their eyes open, and the
 notes of warning will be raised in vain.

Clover Song. Wake l" said the sun, looking out at the world; And the mist from the meadows broke, And blossoms and leaves felt thrill of life, And from sleep at his summons woke. Dewy wild roses looked everywhere, At the clouds, and the birds, and the trees; Daisies went waving all ways, glad things And buttercups basked at their ease.
 All the fields over,
 Naught but the clover
 Turned to her lover True little clover leaves, straight to the sun. Higher and higher he climbed the sky, Drinking the roses dew Sweet, frail roses they dropped, then fell, And faint were all things that grew. But the calm little clover leaves turned and turned, With the great sun keeping pace; And now each one in the feryid noon, Lifted it's trusting face.
 All the fields over,
 Only the clover
 Followed her lover True little clover looked straight at the sun. ., Slowly, slowly, the sun went down Over the hills so sweet; Slowly followed the clover leaves, Even his face to meet. Down through the waiting gold and red As at last he sinks from sight, Softly they drop their faces low, In loving, mute, goodnight.
 All the fields over,
 Sleeps little clover,
 Missing her lover True little clover, to wake for the sun. Wide Aapdke,

Why He Ran Away.

MT. Francis Bar, very we'll known in Milan, was in his room counting some money which he had just received, when his barber was announced. That per sonage appeared and commenced opera tions, when suddenly he threw his razor on the floor and ran out of the room. They caught him and asked an explana- tion.
 "Well," he confessed at last, " the sight of the gold was too much for me. If had not run away I would have cut MT. Bars throat and robbed him. "
 MT. Bar presented the barber with twenty dolIars. -P0ris Letter.

Michael Vincent, formerly famous in France and this country as the Iron Man, died lately in San Francisco. His strength was enormous, one of his feats being to lift 800 pounds from the floor to his shoulder but he too often raised a glass of liquor from bar to his mouth, and finally died of intemperance.

A Dreadful Death.

The Sutro (Nev.) Independent con- tains the following account of a most insane and fatal performance: The most foolish bet we ever heard of was that mode last Sunday morning in George Shaw's saloon, on Florence avenue, by Michael Hall, that he could drink one quart of whisky within five minutes Hall had been drinking good deal dur ing the morning, and was at the time of betting somewhat intoxicated. The sum bet was only ten dollars, which fact alone shows the condition of the man s mind at the time. A quart measure was procured and filled to the brim with whisky, the quality of which, we sup pose, was about the same as that general ly served in the mining towns in this State. Hall put the measure of liquor to his mouth, and without taking it from his lips, drank it to the dregs. Be- fore minute had passed he fell to the floor apparently dead, and in that con
 dition was at once removed to his lodg
 ing house on Helena avenue. Dr. Brier- ly was summoned, and emetics were given, but without producing the de- sired result A stomach pump was then applied to the man, and more than 8 pint of the liquor was taken from him. For forty-eight hours he was uncon- .scious of what was going on about him. sufammation of the stomach set in, and Ys sufferings became intense. The

The millers of Minnesota have been
 annoyed good deal of late by wire in the wheat, caused by the use of wire- binding harvesting machinery. At one time the matter had become so trouble some that they thought seriously of ad- vising the disuse of such machinery.
 But way has been found out of the difficulty by the invention of simple and exceedingly ingenious device con- sisting of four gangs of horseshoe mag nets, four in one and five in the other,
 placed in spout through which the wheat passes. Numerous pieces, from the size of 2 pin-head to an inch in length, were counted and mixed with a quantity of wheat, and being passed through the spout the exact number would be found on the magnets. The millers were highly pleased with the workings of tho simple device, and t Will be undoubt tedly introduced into all the mills. X peint of interest in thia ns1 ia ths fpot lint thia device. is not

Mind Your Own Business.
 Nothing but ultimate ruin stares that farmer in the face who does not pay personal attention to the minute details of his farm. There are a thousand small leaks about the management of an ordinary farm that, if not closely attended to, will surely bring the most hard working farmer to ruin and bank ruptcy. A large portion of the farmers can attribute their present condition to no other cause than lack of close at tention to the small details of the farm.

The Coming Campaign in Ohio.

1t is agreed on both sides that the
election in Ohio this fall will be-
warmly contested and will probably
bring out the largest vote that has
ever been east It'll that State. Al
though the choice of Governor is
cstensibly the most important oh.
ject OF the struggle between the two
parties, it really yields to other con
siderations. Ohio is one of the
so-called pivotal States, and it is of
the utmost consequence TO the Re.
publicans and to the Democrats
alike that the election which pre-.
cedes the Presidential campaign
should be so determined as 10 make
the State reasonably sure in 1880.
In the first place therefore, it is to
be 3 fight for position next year,
and whichever side carries the State
will necessarily gain prestige and
capital. In the second place, the
Legislature will elect a Senator to
succeed Mr.. Thurman. The Repub.
lcans will make desperate efforts to
recover a majority in the senate,
and their hope rests upon gains to
be made in Ohio, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connect.
cut.
Even with all these gains the Re.
publicans would be one short of a
majority, for Senator Bruce will go
out in 1881, to be certainly replaced
by a Democrat from Mississippi.
But the margin would be inconvcn.
iently narrow tor the Democrats, cs.

his weight into the scale aud make

occur, it may he regarded as most
