A Sketch in q Narrow Street.

1t was so narrow, this little back
street, in the quaint, old fashioned
German town, that Hans Gottlieb
could, if he had so wished, have
shaken hands, out of his window
with his opposite neighbor.
The sun that shone so bravely
elsewhere was seldom visible here
only in the early morning q few
golden CLEANS found their way in,
and gave faint encouragement to
the two or three flowers that bios
somed in pots on the window.sill.
On such occasions Hans would
pause in his work, knowing full we'll
what was coming-how the case.
ment opposite would be flung open,
and girls voice, singing blithe
little French song, would ring across
the silent street to his listening
ears; how a slim, pretty figure
would for moment stand framed
in the blossoming scarlet-runners,
a pretty figure, with dark French
eyes, and black hair, drawn up un.
der a white cap, a beautiful contrast,
so Hans thought, to his comely,
yellow.haired countrywomen. AS
soon as this vision appeared, Hans
would pause in his work, and turn
his eyes toward it; would wait till
the watering of the flowers and the
singing Of the song were alike end
ed, and then would approach his
window.
"Good morning." his neighbor
would call across in that pretty
foreign German that was SO en-
chanting in his ears-"Good morn-
ing, Monsieur Gottlieb," and then
with a nod and a smile the trim lit
tie figure would vanish into the
dark shadows, and Hans return to
his work.
But though life was too busy
with these two, and bread difficult
enough to win, even when one work
ed hard for it, so that neither could
afford to idle away the minutes in
talk, yet Hans as he worked, dream.
ing of the days when stone-carving
should not mean daily bread, but
honor and glory to those he loved,
was pleasantly conscious all the
time of a dark head bent over o
table drawn close up to the window
Opposite-a table covered with
many bright.colored scraps of mus.
lin and papers-which in due course
under those deft, small hands, be-.
came summer flowers; at this short
distance seeming to the lOoker-On
the spoils of a June garden.
Thus they worked day after day,
those two, SO near together, yet SO
far apart, abstaining from all con-
versation which might have made
the days pass more quickly but
then an hours idleness might mean
going supperless to bed, 80 that
even Rose Cordier, dearly as she
loved the sound of her own voice,
she rarely spared any time for mu.
sic except for an occasional song.
But when the day was over, when
the cO0lness in the little close street,
and the shadowy grey Of the strip
of sky overhead, gave notice that
the long summer day was drawing
to an end when the small room
grew dark, then Rose would rise

A comely sisterhood,
Ye sacred towers sound,
Until your pealing anthems wake
The echoing hills around
And in responsive hearts,
Aswcet and glad refrain.
That in such goodly fellowship
n We gather once again.
Full thirty precious years
Z. OF pastoral work here done
Has by its earnest faithfulness
The Masters signet won.
We gather to recount I.
The manifold result,
And in the varied good achieved
With humble hearts exalt.
Within these three decades,
With rapid, stately stride,
The world has grandly onward moved
In scientific prids.
Yst all the duick k'hihG force
To human will and tho't
That has our civilization blest
Is the Christ-life inwrought.
We stay not to recount
Material changes made,
The burden of our simple song
Our parish work i, laid;
The change of heart and life
Here by the gospel wrought,
The earnest labor, faith and prayer
The grace of God that brought.
At the baptismal shrine,
Bedewed. with cov'nant grace,
What sacred, fond paternal hopes
Have found fitting place
The Author ofour lives
Alone can life supply,
As streams upon their fountains wait,
And severed quickly dry.
His presence cheers the sick,
And.to the dying gives
The sacred words of grace and life
Of Him who ever lives.
He scatters precious seed
The varied streams beside, .
He prays and waits for waving fields,
The fruits that shall abide.
Heaven smile upon this field,
That buried seed may grow,
The blade, the ear and the full corn
May golden harvests show,
Great Shepherd of the sheep,
Still guard, increase this flock,
Through pastures green, by waters still,
Lead meath the smitten Rock,

Cotton Gin.

Very few persons at the North
have ever seen a cotton gin, and
those who have not of course have
very vague ideas about it's con-
struction or work. A cotton gin
machine is not as bulky as an ordi-
nary tanning mill. 1t is called
"saw gin," because circular saws,
about a foot across, are set upon
wooden cylinder, perhaps half or
three -fourths of an inch apart. For
largest sized gins, the cylinder is
i've feet long. The saws run be.
tween steel CRATES set in the back
of the feeding hopper, so that the
teeth reach just beyond the bars
and catch the fibers, which adhere
strongly to the seed, and pull them
through the openings between the
CRATE bars, leaving the seed behind.
The lint iS cleared from the teeth by
revolving brushes, and is either
blown by fan through spout to
the lint room, or else by an improv-
ed process is famed into large bats,
which can be taken up and put one
after another into a pile to form the
bale. A large gin, run by about
six mule power, 25O revolutions a
minute, will gin 100 pounds of lint
in an hour. Sometimes carelessness
or design sends a friction match
through the gin. Then there is a
flash, and an end of that years
work.-[New York Tribune.

ANOTHER oEnocRATte CAUCUS.

Washington, April 2.-The democratic
senators in caucus ratified the report Of the
committee appointed TO designate employees
Of the senate for retention. It was unani-
monsly agreed that the senate should per-
manently retain Capt. Isaac Bassett, aesis.
tant door keeper and the venerable William
John, we'll known as keeper of the main
door Of the senate chamber, both of whom
have been in the service Of the senate forty
years or more, aud also AMI witt the su-
periutendent of document room together
with two of the acting assistant door keep
ers, who are crippled union soldiers. The
changes in the force Of committee employ.
es will be made gradually during the present
month in such manner as TO avoid incon.
venience.
1t was suggested in the caucus that sever
al Of the most experienced clerks should be
included in the list of employees expressly
designated for retention but after some dis
cus.lon the majority decided that the secre-
tsry of the senate should exercise his own
judgment and discretion concerning the
peleonel Of his Office, and similar decision
was made by the caucus in regard to propo-
sitions to add to the list the names of GER
tain especially useful and faithful members
of the force of the sergeant.at. .arms.
No action was taken on the question of
permitting general legislation during the
present session, but in favor Of restricting
legislative business to the passage Of the ap-
preparation bills.

THE RECORD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., JAM 25.-Soon after re-
assembling, the House went into Committee OF
the Whole On the Post-O1ice Appropriation bill,
and Mr.. Blount explained It's provisions. II
appropriatcs S344 soc, ,0c0, decrease OF about
$4,000 000 from the estimates, and m increase
of 81 000 600 over the appropriation of last year.
But for the legislation Of the Democratic House
for the last three years, the appropriation this
year would have been at least So, 900 larger
than it Was.
Mr. Baker lndiana) said last year he predict
ed when the Post-Of1ico bill was before tho
House the appropriation was insufficient, and
would crd in deficiencies. That prediction had
come true, and with equal certainty the same
prediction might be made about the present
bill. ANY attempt to cripple the railway mail
service. or star service, was crime against the
country.
The bill was then read by sections for amend
ment.
Mr.. Blount would increase the appropriation
for Post-Oflce clerks from SS,460,o0 to 3D.
5000.
