Bayard TaylOr,s Advent into Boston.

Bayard TaylOr's Advent into Boston.
From letter filled with pleasant
"reminiscences of Bayard Taylor, written
to the New York Tribune by Mr.. James
T. Field, we quote one descriptive incl
dent:
"Thirty-two years ago, on bright
spring morning, young man OF. %
held out his hand to me, and introduced
himself as Bayard Taylor. We had corre-
sponded at intervals since his first little
volume was published in 1874, but we
had never met until then. He had
come to Boston, rather Unexpectedly,
he said, to see Longfellow, and Holmes,
and Whipple, and some others. who had
expressed an interest in his Views
Afoot,' then recently printed in book
form. No one could possibly look
upon the manly young fellow at that
time without loving him. He was tall
and slight, with the bloom of youth
mantling face full of eager, joyous ex-
pectation. Health of that buoyant ma
ture which betokens delight in exist
ence was visible in every feature Of the
youthful traveller.
The fresh air lodged within his cheek
As Light within cloud.
We all focked about him like q swarm
of brothers, heartily welcoming him tc
Boston. When we told him how
charmed we all were with his travels
he blushed like q girl, and Tears filled
his sensitive eyes. 1T is one OF the
most absorbingly-interesting books
ever read cried one of the number
heightening the remark with an exple
tive savoring more of strength than O
early piety. Taylor looked up, full O
happiness at the opinion so earnestly
expressed, and asked, with that simple
7aiuete which always belonged to hi
character, DO you really think so
Well, I am so glad >"

Where the Missing Men Go To.

A New York exchange tells GLOW

men suddenly disappear from the
streets in the same manner.-Norrts.

DURING a dense fog q Mississippi
steamboat took landing. A traveller,
anxious to go ahead, came to the unper-

why they stopped. "Too much fog;

the stars overhead" "Yes," replied the
urbane pilot, "but until the biler busts

No Greenback nominations, either

Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Caro-

were nominated, but we have no returns
as to their vote.-Detroit Tribune.

gives returns from all State and Con-

following tables showing the complete

States where Greenback State ticket
was nominated we give the vote of the

ticket was not run we give the Green

Trembled within my passionate parting clasp.

That crown our crowns Of SORROW. Then sbS
spoke:
" God Keep you ~ but sudden shiverirg gasp
Splintered the rest to silence with one stroke

The mute beseechfng of bloodless lips,
The paleness reaching TO the finger tips,
And the Deep mournful splsndor Of the eye.
God but her rare skill smote me az acry

Now, let this passi o, woman, there shall come
In the deep midnights, when thy pulses throb
And something stsrtles thee like low sob,
shining grandeur that shall strike thee dumb
Theglory Of a great white marfyrdomi
Aud nothing save the old clock On the wal,
Whose strokes shall crash like awful thunder
then
Shall answer thee when th on dost wildly call
On the strange past to speak TO thee again
With ono voice morel but thou shall grope and

Along wet burial crypts, and thy large tears,
Scorched With the heat Of thy strong agony,
Shall blister on the dead hopes Of o years.
Who shall rise up to glare and mock at thee.

A Maker of Great Guns.

Of Herr Krupp, the famous maker of
guns and cannon, the London World
says that he is a tall, fine-looking old
man of remarkably commanding pres
ence. He has beautiful home at Essen,
and relates how as young, hard-working
man he fixed upon the site of the present
house as that of his future home, if he
should succeed in his career; and how he
always used to delight, as boy, when he
got holiday, to ascend the hill and look
down into the pleasant and peaceful val
ley below. He is known, of course, to
all the children for miles around; but he
tells one jokingly that they only knew
him by his head-dress of grey felt, which
is curious sort Of cooked hat turned up
at the back, looking most comical, until
one gets accustomed to it.
He has received almost every order
from the hands of his Emperor, and has
been offered every title up to that of
"Graf." They have always been refused,
gratefully but firmly; he says, while
proud look passes over his old and still
remarkably handsome features, "Herr
Krupp was | born and Herr Krupp will
| die" A truthful anecdote is told in
connection with Herr Krupp's marriage.
One day, being in the theater at Cologne,
he was struck by girlish face in The box
opposite; he. begged one of his friends,
who was acquainted with the family, to
introduce him. Next day he was en-
gagged, and the following week the mar
riage took place. This marriage, con-
cluded so hastily, has proved most hap
py one, Frau Krupp being esteemed and
beloved far and near.

A Perpetual vi OtiOn MAN.


Mr.. J. H. Huntington, colored black
smith of Cleveland, o., reported by the
Leader to have sought to solve the prob
lem of perpetual motion, has actually in
vented cheap motive power. The Lead
er says: On arriving the reporter was
u'hered into a side room, in the middle
of which appeared to be a ponderous
wheel, minus felly, the spokes being
large and heavy Looking. The axis is
produced each side of the upright bear
ings, before reaching which, however, the
shaft is shaped into two cranks, one
on each side the aforesaid wheel, extend
ing in opposite directions and so con-
structed as to prevent the machine COM
ing to dead center.
From each of the cranks hangs a short
piston-rod, which is to work inside of a
stationary pipe ur cylinder, which is ex-
tended down to the floor, then across
under the wheel, and coming up again to
meet the other short piston-rod. From
these cranks also very heavy weights are
pendant, which are fitted with very
heavy rubber springs or bumpers, which
tighten the weight aud permit the wheel
to pass the center, and then, assisted by
the weight on the other crank, continue
the revolution. The piston and cylinder
before mentioned assist in the O her work
by atmospheric pressure. But to return
to the wheel Some of the spokes are
curved and others are very heavy. All
are hollow, even what might be termed
the hub, several holes running in as
many different directions, without at all
intersecting.
The spoEes are to be filed with a fluid
which Mr.. Dunnington prepares after
recipe, the secret of which is known only
to himself. This fluid, by the action of
centrifugal force, and the force of grav-
ity, is propelled toward the lower ex-
tremities as any one of the spokes reaches
vertical position. In the larger spokes
are complicated springs which aid in the
passage to and fro of the fluid.
The above are the main points in the
description of the machine, and the fly
wheels which transmit the power are

Suppose that upon the announcement of each
new invention, all using similar inventions should
order at once, who c,n fancy the bediam that
would ensue? How novel to use a new patent
churn daily, and wash three or four times week
in rider " keep pace with the ttew washing and
and Wringing machines that would pour in from
every quarter! Think of the farm covered with
patent plows rakcs, mowers. etc.. etc. Think,
tho. OF the poor inval d who would only have
time to draw the cork and take one dose OF the
latest medicine when the druggist would rush in
with still later much better. more Ger ain, and
more wonderful cathnlieon. F,Ttunately, the
people are more conservative, and reluctantly dis
card the trust d. tried and true. for the glamour
OF new. Nowhere is This principle better demon
strated than in the steady and gradually increas-
ing sale OF DR.. Saee's Catarrh Remedy, which for
over quarter OF century has held the field
against all others aud has from one generation 10
another given entire satisfaction. It's cures are
numbered by thousands.
