THERE was q notable gathering OF
literary lights in Boston lately, to COM
memorate the 10th birthday of Oliver
Wendell Holmes. Longfellow, Emer-
son and many other noted men of letters
were present, and letters were read from
President Hayes and other prominent
men. The venerable Holmes read a
sparkling and yet sad poem, the closing
stanzas of which follow:
1 come not here your mourning hour to sadden,
A limping Pilgrim leaning on his staff
/ who have never dreamed il sin to gladden.
This vale of sorrow with a wholesome laugh.
If word OF mine another's gloom has frightened
Through my dumb lips the heaven sent mess age
came
If hand of mine another's task has lightened,
It felt the guidance that it dares not claim.
But Oh! my gentle sisters, Oh my brothers.
The thick -sown snow-hakes hint of tolls release;
These feebler pulses bid me leave to others
Tho task once welcome--evening asks for peace.
Time cl inns his tribute silence now is golden;
Let me not vex the too long suffering Tyre
Though to your love untiring still beholden,
The curfew tells me cover up the fire.
And now with grateful smile and accents che, rful,
And warmer heart than look or word can tell
In simplest phrase-these trai orous eyes are
fearful
Thanks brothers. sisters, children, and farewell.

Suicides of Soldiers.

A surgeon in the Italian army gives
some curious statistics of the number
of suicides in the several European
armies, and of the means selected in
different countries to get rid of the
burden of life. From the figures set
down it appears that in 1874 one of
every 1889 men in the German army
committed suicide; in the French army,
one of every 1884; in the Belgian, one
of every 2,222; in the English army,
one of every 1884; and in the Italian
army, only one of every S,342 men.
Since 1874, however. the number of
suicides in the land forces of Italy have
increased very largely, amounting in
1875 to one of every 2,949 in the army,
and in 1876 TO one of every 1921 men.
With regard to the manner of suicide,
the Italian writer asserts that English
men and Germans prefer getting rid of
their lives by hanging themselves, Irish
men and Frenchmen by jumping into the
water, and Italians by sending bullet
through their brain or heart. The
number of suicides, again, is found to
be proportionately great among soldiers
in their second or third year of service
than among those who have more re-
Gently joined the colors. During the
first year of service, the writer suggests,
the novelty of his work and of his sur
roundings diverts the attention of the
recruit and prevents him from thinking
of selfdestruction, while the duties he
has TO perform fatigue him excessively
and man does not kill himself because
his body is wearied, but because his
mind is oppressed. That cases If sui
eide are proportionately more frequent
in the army than in civil life, as is no.
toriously the case, is not, in the opinion
OF the Italian writer, because of the
hardships or peculiar conditions of
military service, but because the ma
jority of soldiers with the colors are
just of the age when the greatest incli-
nation to commit suicide prevails.

A REMARKABLE departure from the

A REMARKABLY departure from the
usual methods and materials has been
made in ship-building in England, and
steel now promises to sooner or later
supersede iron In the construction of
ships. The first oceanic mail steamer
that has been built entirely of steel was
lately laun, he'd at Govan. 1t is named
the Kir tauEs Castle, is 81 feet III length,
ty-three feet in breadth, has accom-
modations of quite superior kind for
357 passengers, and will have crew of
100 all told. 1t is to be one of the
Cape mail line of Messrs. Donald Cur
RE q Co., and its engine will be of $500
indicated horsepower. AS an evidence
of the unmistakable revival of the
Clyde shipping industry, the firm who
made the Kinfauns Castle had last
year at this time only three vessels in
course of construction, while at pres
ent they have on hand fourteen.

The End of the World.

Camilla Flammarion, the well-known
French scientist, thus expresses him
self in La Correspondence ScientifQue
regarding the ultimate of our globe ::
The earth was born she will die either
of old age, when her vital elements
shall have been used up, or through
the extinction of the sun, to whose rays
her life is suspended. She might also
die by accident through collision with
some celestial body meeting her on her
route; but this end of the world is the
most improbable of all. She may, we
repeat, die a natural death through the
slow absorption OF her vital elements.
In fact, it is probable that the air and
water are diminishing. The ocean,
like the atmosphere, appears to have
been formerly much more considerable
than it is in our day. The terrestrial
crust is penetrated by waters which
combine chemically with the rocks.
1t is almost certain that the
temperature of the interior of
the globe reaches that of boil
ing water at a depth of about six
miles, and prevents the water from de-
scending any lower. But the ABSORB
ton will continue with the cooling of
the globe. The oxygen, nitrogen and
carbonic acid which compose our at
mosphere also appear to undergo alb.
sorption, but slower. The thinker may
foresee. through the mist of ages to
come, the epoch, yet afar off, in which
the earth, deprived of the atmospheric
aqueous vapor which protects her from
the glacial cold of space by preserving
the solar rays around her, will become
chilled in the sleep of death. As Henry
Vivarez says: From the summit OF
the mountains winding sheet of snow
will descend upon the high plateaus and
the valleys, driving before it life and
civilization, and masking forever che
cities and nations that it meets on It's
passage. Life and human activity will
press insensibly toward the intertropi.
cal zone. st. Petersburg, Berlin, Lon.
don, Paris, Vienna, Constantinople and
Rome will fall asleep In succession un
der their eternal shroud. Duri & very
many ages equatorial humanity will
undertake Arctic expeditions to find
again under the ice the place of Paris
Lyons, Bordeaux, and Marseilles. The
sea coasts will have changed, and the
geographical map of the earth will have
been transformed. No one will live
and breathe any more except in the
equatorial zone up to the day when tb,
last family, nearly dead with cold an6
hunger, will sit on the shore of tin,
last sea, in the rays of the sun which
will thereafter shine here below on al
ambulent tomb revolving aimlessl
around useless light and barreI

ANDREW JOHNSON had favorite re-
tort to make to any one who Kissed him
when he was making speech. The
first occasion upon which he used this
celebrated retort of his was in q public
hall at Chattanooga, Tenn, where he
was making an address in some political
campaign. A remark of his displeased
some opponent in the gallery, and the
latter began to hiss. Pausing in his
speech, Mr.. Johnson looked gravely IL
the direction of the hisser and said;
"There are only two animals known to
scientists whose language is expressed
in the hiss-the viper through malig-
nifty, and the goose from force OF SILL

lowed this was enough to subdue Mr..
Johnson's opponent.

AN exciting episode attended a So
ciety event near Waco, Tex, few
evenings since. A number OF beaux
and bellies from the adjacent country
copgregated for a dance at a country
farmhouse. During the evening wine
flowed freely. A young man named
Bud Wood asked Miss Grace Stanfield
to dance, which she declined. Wood
became angry, and demanded that the
dance cease. Wood then followed VIII
Currie into back room and provoked
a fight. Currie knocked him down
with pair of tongs. They met outside
the house and had duel with pistols, a
dozen shots being exchanged. Currie
was wounded in the hand, a bystander
in the leg, and George Wood in the
thigh. Bud Wood then went where
Miss Stanfeld was talking with Albert
Chock, and made two attempts to shoot
her; then, remarking to Chock, You
are a friend of Currie," shot Chock
dead, knocked Jim Currie senseless
with pistol, and escaped.

Fat Men and Thin Men.

Two clubs have been recently started,
both under one roof, in the Frank.
furter Strasse, Berlin, one Of which
has received the name of "The Fat
Club" while the other rejoices in the
no less significant title of "The Thin
Club" In the club house common to
both societies there has been construct
ed two test doorways-the one gener-
ously wide, the other thrifty narrow.
To these doorways the candidates for
election, respectively, obese or attenu-
ated, are tremendously conducted, after
they have registered VOW to abide
uncomplainingly by the result of
the ordeal awaiting them. Should
the would-be member of the
Fat Club be found capable of
passing with ease through the wide
doorway his disqualification is thereby
proved beyond repeal. His rejection is
politely signified to him, with the mer-
ciful intimation that when he shall
have waxed somewhat fatter be will be
permitted to "try again" The text APP
piled to the exiguous candidate is ex-
actly the converse of that to which fat
aspirants are subjected. II he cannot
slip through the doorway constituting
the fatitudinal standard of membership
he is informed that until he reduce his
exorbisant dimensions to the prescribed
limit he must resign all hope of being
received into the emaciated bosom oil

the parties involved. A divorce suit is

and the husband, on the lookout for

himself with the fair sex by offering a

his wife-separated from him, but not
divorced-was the favorite bya large

he did not believe he would live to be
remarked. Talking some weeks ago to
representatives of Paris and Vienna

died, desired nothing SO much as to
die myself. For two months 1 shut my
self up in the Escurial, not, as has been
stated, to addict myself to ascetic
practices, like Philip H., for / am

How to Prevent Deterioration of Soil.

Gen. Grant says he was shown o
piece of land in China which had been
under cultivation every year for 5000
years without deterioration of the soil.
This result is effected by returning to
the soil everything taken from it that
is not consumed. Here, then, is the
secret of the remarkable richness of
Chinese soil. Aad here, too, is les
son for our Maine farmers who complain
that their lands have run out" In
stead of wasting their old umbrellas,
broom. sticks, rubber overshoes, and to-
mato- cans, let them carefully apply
them to the soil. And all the roots and
garbage, and the noble sculpins and
dog.fish, they also should be utilized.
This may be the way to make Maine
farm productive for 5,000years without
deterioration of the soil. Who knows?
