MARGUERITE.

a modest maiden. yet a wise,
With chestnut hair and hazel eyes,
Whose glance me Away liked TO meet
So deep its gaze, so cain and sweet;
Clear beaIaiBg with quiet gladness,
Subduec ~ by an unknown sadness,
Too tIustful in It's holy love
For aught but purcf worlds above.
A low, broad brow. with dreamy thought
And noble aspirations fraught;
a subtle mingiiDg in the whole
of earthly clay and heavenly soul;
A face that meet IL where might,
In Joy TO day, I'm VOC toll night.
Would caiise land why can not tell
The hot tears 10 my eyes to well.
Twas 80 one day she crossed my path.
] halt believed her not OF earth,
SO sweet that wistful gaze; in vain
turned away, for look again
I must; and then knew too well
by that. In which cen lay the spell,
That hidden something told too true,
That ne'cr in heavenly gardens grew,
As yet, this blossom, all too rare
For earthly soil and earthly air.
All, sweet, shy flower. twas not for long
That thou did-t mingle with the throng;
Yet thou unconscious shed'st ray
OF purity athwart their way,
As thou their guardian angel vert,
Though now with heavenly ar1nor gtrt.
I'D not recall thee. though my eyes
Are dim with tears: though choking sigh
Fill my sad heart with many an ache,
I'll still them all for thy dear sake.

Thomas A. Edison is not the only man
who has spent fortune in an effort to
make the electric light serviceable.
Col. II. Is. Crosby of the law firm of
Crosby g. Kent has laid out over $780,
coo. The Colonel is the head and body
of the Filler Electric Company, and
owns the sole right to the Gramme cleo
trio generator in the United States. He
first saw an electric light on the Parlia-
ment buildings in London three or four
years ago. 1t was so intense that he
read newspaper at Rose Hill, three
miles away. From that day to this the
Colonel has freely used portion of a
large fortune in an effort to muzzle cleo
tricity. Yesterday afternoon he sat in
his spacious chambers in William
Street.

Madison Square Garden has been light
ed by gas,n said the inquirer. "Why
have you withdrawn your electric
lightP"
"We have not done so," the Colonel
replied. "We are only changing the
position OF the lamps, and perfecting
new arrangements. We shall light up
again In day or two. There is nothing
wroBg."sy
In further Conversation the Colonel
referred to the light in Place de l'Opera,
Paris. 1t is never in Darkness" he
ssid, Sand is ever as light as day. We
propose TO illnmine Madison Square
and the plaza Of the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, between the Worth Monument and
Twenty-third Street, in similar man
ner. When the nights become longer
say in October or November-we intend
put forty lights, each of $500 or more
candle-power, in Madison Square, and
flood that part OF the city with day light.
Why, We could put light on the stee-
pie of Trinity Church that would enable
a man to read newspaper on Jersey

"But what about the cheapness of
such lights?" we queried.

FAMILY CHEEsE-MAKING.-T is
no pleasure or profit in making butter
during hot weather, unless one has an
unlimited supply of ice or cold spring
water, which most farmers have not,
and we might almost as well feed our
milk to hogs at once as to make butter
and depend on country stores for mar
ket. On the contrary, the hot weather
is the best time for cheese-making, and
if the farmer with three or four cows
could utilize his milk in this way and
provide a supply Of cheese for the fami-
ly, it would be very acceptable. When
l was l6 years old my father started a
small cheese dairy, and for several years
we made cheese from the milk of 10 to
20 cows. During one summer l had
entire charge Of the dairy, and think
can describe the method of cheese-mak-

FARM TOPICS.

The CATALPA TREE. E. Barney
of Dayton, Ohio, who has expended
considerable time in collecting Informs
ton from all parts of the United States,
also from England, South Australia and
New Zealand, in regard to the merits
of the catalpa as timber tree, says
that its economic uses are more varied
and extensive than any one growth
with which be is acquainted, and he be-
lieves that it will give the largest returns
in the shortest time. The Superintend-
ent of the Fl. Scott and Gulf Railroad,
which started experimental plantations
of various trees near Fl. Scott, Kansas,
during the autumn of 1877, reports that
the catalpa has proved to be the strong
est grower, the most tenacious, standing
the dry weather better than other vari-
cites and promising to arrive at maturi-
ty years before other kinds are of suifi-
cient size to be of any utility. DIR. j..
H. Warder of Ohio and j. G. Teas of
Missouri, who have investigated the
matter, state tina. in their native States
what is known as the "hardy" or
"early blooming" catalpa fspeciosa) is
to be found only in the Mississippi VAL
ley, and the tender or common
variety (bignonisiaes) is confined to
the South Atlantic States. Mr.. Bar
ney says if he had grove of common
catalpa that would not be affected by
the frost he would certainly let it grow
But if he desired to set out grove of
catalpa either above or below the frost
line he would plant only the speciosa
variety, as 1t is unquestionably better
adapted to forest culture. 1t is also of
Importance to know that this variety is
equally durable as timber with the COM
mon kind. A word of explanation for
the benefit of those not acquainted with
the distinctive features of the two varie-
ties: The bark of the common or late
blooming catalpa is light coloTed and
comparatively smooth; the tree is
somewhat struggling grower when
planted singly, butin groves is erect and
shapely. II is liable when young to be
winter-killed in severe seasons, though
it acquires hardness with age. The
hardy variety is possessed of a dark
colored bark, rough or furrowed; it is
of an erect habit of growth, and, as the

a WORD ABOUT FIRES.

The citizens of Morristown have been
abundantly blessed in escaping disas-
trous fires, while other neighborhoods
of the State have suffered distressingly
and immensely by their occurrence. To
use a common phrase they are getting
''as common as pig-tracks," and do not
cOnine themselves to any particular To-
cality but grasp the first opportunity
that presents itself. In these times of
prevailing fires we think the citizens of
Morristown ought to look to their own
interests for protection against them,
lest the fiend should come upon them
unawares and make battle at their own
doors. 1t is true, we have had no fires
here of any consequence since the burn
ing of the steam Touring mill, year
ago last January, but that is no reason
that we should not have, nor large
confagration either, hence our citizens
should not be led into the belief that
they are safe from fire, for no Individual
can tell what an hour may bring forth.
And right here we would especially di-
rect their attention to the Knoxville
Fire Insurance Company in which they
can find protection for their property. |
1t is a company composed of sound |
principled business men with a capital
sufficient to meet all the liabilities of !
the company. Maj. d. A. Carpenter is
President, f. FL. McClung Vice Presi-
dent, and w. A. Anderson Secretary and |
Treasurer We trust our citizens will |
all impress the subject of insurance upon
their minds and not rest content until
they take policy in this excellent com
pany, which has no superior in the
South. Do not depend any longer on
the water-bucket brigade in case of fire,
but insure your property and if it should
happen to catch fire and burn up you
can look on with some degree of salts

The philadelphia Times is Of the
opinion that the organs which have
been facilitating each other over the
election of Matt Carpenter to the
Senate from Wisconsin will have TO
restrain their happiness when they
get all the facts. In a speech to his
fellow.townsmen Of Milwaukee, af-
ter his election, Mr.. Carpenter said +:
"Bayonet rule has had its run as
long as it was useful, and civil gov
eminent is now the proper instru-
mentality to use in dealing with the
affairs of the South" This sounds
more like the talk of statesman
than a politician. and for that reason
win be likely to harrow up the feel
ings of the organs.

Last year, while the inhabitants of
the South were scourged With the
yellow fever, cholera was raging in
Northern Africa. More recently a
deadly plague has broken out in the
Russian province of Astrachan,
which far surpasses in virulence
and malignity either the yellow fever
or the cholera. Starting in a small
village on the barren steppes of the
country, it has made its entrance
into the city of the same name.
where nearly $4,000 people are
crowded together in narrow and
filthy quarters. Here is where its
ravages were most felt at first. 1t
is now rapidly spreading. The NOR
tality among those attacked is very
great-nearly go per cent. Of them
dying from it's effects. The epidem-
ic has assumed such great proper
tions that measures are now being
taken to prevent its further spread,
and assistance is being asked in the
form or medicines and other neces-
saries for those who are sick. The

fore it is rooted out. The neighbor-
ing governments are taking precau-
tionary measures against ITS intro
duction into their countries, and
they hope by these means TO confne
it to the territory in which it origi-
mated. One great obstacle to pre-
venting the rapid dissemination of
the disease is a want Of experienced
medical men in Russia. A London
telegram says:
about one-third of the Russian
doctors died either during the war,
or from typhoid fever which follow
ed it. and large number of young

Some one gives the following ia
BILE of the order in which men give
up their Injuries under the pressure
of hard times:
Books go frst-the book trade
fiattens under a panic; illustrated
papers next, and then daily papers.
If the pressure continues, the trade
in pianos and furniture falls off-the
laboring classes begin to contract on
the furniture for the first start. Next
it begins to cut off fine clothes and
jewelry, and then it's getting pretty
tight. Put in another screw, and
tea and coffee suffer then all fine
groceries and other kinds of produce.
If the screw still tightens, when the
worst comes to the worst, and there
is no help from God or man, the
whisky and tobacco begin 20 be cut
of-but the dog is about dead when
it comes to that.
