THE LOVERS PERIL.
BY JAMBs T. FIELDS.

BY JAMES T. FIELDS.
Have been ever wrecked at sea,
And nigh to being drowned2
More threat'nlng storms have compassed me
Than on the deep are found
What coral reefs her dangerous lips
My bark WAS nearly gone;
Hope plunged away in dire eclipse,
And black the night rolled on.
What seas are like her wheming hair,
That swept me DER and o'erS
heard the waters OF despair
Crash round the distant shore
"Come, death I" I murmured In my cries
For signals none were waved
When both lighthouses In her eyes
shone forth, and was saved

DEATH IN LIFE.
BY MARY MAPBs DoDGR.
She sitteth there mourner,
With her dead before her eyes
Flushed with the hues of life is he
And quick are his replies,
often his warm hand touches hers
Brightly his glances fall,
And yet, in this wide world, is she
The lonellest OF all.
Some mourners feel their dead return
In dreams or thoughts at even;
All well for them their best beloved
Are faithful still In heaven!
But woe to her whose best-beloved
Though dead, still fingers near;
SO far away when by her side,
He cannot see nor hear.
With heart intent, he comes, he goes
In busy ways CT life.
His gains and chances counteth he,
His hours with Joy are rife,
Careless he greets her day by day,
Nor thinks OF words once said
Oh, would that love could live again,
or her heart give up its dead

Not Much Of q Loss,

A young lady went to drug store,
Monday, located not hundred miles
from the market house, and had a pre-
scription made up.
"How muchP" inquired the lady.
"Fifty cents" said the clerk.
"But I have only forty-five cents with
me, replied the customer; "can't you let
me have it for that2"
"No ma'am," said the clerk, but you
can pay me the five cents when you come
in again"
"But suppose I were to die?" said the
lady iocularly.
"Well, it wouldn't be very great
loss, )" was the smiling response.
And Immediately the innocent clerk
gathered from the indignant fash on the

that it was the little balance and not her

Tammany Hall.

The International RerieW contains the
following account of the well-known
New York political organization known
as Tammany Hall: The Tammany
Hall organization consists of three parts
- first, the secret society known as the
"Tammany Society, or Columbian
Order" which was founded in 1889, in
the first month of Washington's admin
istration, and was Incorporated in 1906
which erected the building on the cor
ner of Nassau and Frankfort streets,
formerly known as Tammany Hall, and
controls by lease the present hall on
Fourteenth street; secondly, the Gen
eral Committee and (Assembly) Dis
trict Committees of the Tammany Hall
Democracy, which are councils OF
voters, and date, with many intermedi-
ate changes of detail, from 1922; thirdly,
the voters, usually about 10000, or two
thirds of the entire vote of the city,
who act in harmony with the COM
mittees, and constitute the Tammany
Hall Democracy.
The Tammany society has passed,
during its ninety years, through five
important epochs of evolution, and is
now in its sixth. From 1889 to 1880 it
was anti-monarchial and anti-foreign,
with Federalist officers and American
Indian costumes, customs, and regalia,
cultivating distaste for European
modes of government by the sedulous
substitution of certain fancied aborig-
inal customs. Its members discussed
political questions after the Indian fash
ion around council fires, at which they
smoked the traditional calumet, as
sisted, perhaps, by draughts of the ira
ditional fire. water. In 1890 they re-
ceived the Creek Indians, on a visit
which one of the Tammany sachems had
induced the Creek chiefs to make to
New York, in such perfect limitations
of the native costume, and in such gor-
geously savage feathers. moccasins, leg
gings, war-paint, war-clubs and toma.
hawks, that the Greeks set up whoop
of joyful recognition, which the Tam
many braves mistook for the Indian
mode of saying grace before human
carving and scattered in a sudden panic.
At this interview Secretary Jefferson
Chief Justice Jay, Governor George
Clinton and Mayor Duane were pres
ent. The Creeks danced and sang the
E-tho song; the Tammany grand
sachem assured the Greek grand
sachems that the spirit of Columbus
and Tammany were then promenading
orm-in-arm through the Wigwam; the
Sycamore of Tammany presented the
chiefs with the calumet, who in return
dubbed him by one of those musical
Indian appellations which ought to be
immortal-'Tuliva Mico or chief of the
White Town. In the evening the en-
tire party attended the theater together,
and before they left the Creeks entered
into treaty with Washington, the be-
loved sachem Of the Thirteen Fires.

s. The Concordia (Kansas) Enterprise
tells of a spring of water from which
sugar is made. II says We had a call
last Thursday from Mr.. II. T. Mills,
now living on his new farm, northwest
of Burr Oak. Mr.. Mills produced for
our inspection lump of sugar, which
he had made from water caught as it
ran from living spring on his place.
The process of manufacture was similar
to that by which maple sugar is pro-
duced from the sap of the maple tree,
namely, by "boiling it down." This
experiment was made last Sunday, and
the amount of sugar "tried out" from
three gallons of pure spring water was
one and a half pounds. Mr.. Mills had
his attention called to the peculiar quail
lty of the water Of this spring by the
fact that his cattle refused to drink it,
and then by personal sampling," its
sweetness inducing him to try the ex-
pertinent of sugar-making from such
singular material, with the result stated.
We tasted the sugar-which has almost
the identical appearance Of maple-and
were struck with It's similarity of taste.
There is enough difference, however, TO
convince one .hat it is not maple, but
that it is an excellent quality of sugar,

1t is estimated that during 1880 the
iron mills in this country will be in
creased 100000 tons. The Bethlehem
mill intends to enlarge It's capacity by
10000 tons, the Northern Chicago
Rolling Mills by 10000, and the Penn
solvania Steel Company by 100000.
New open-hearth furnaces are being
started up in New J eEsey, Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont,
and new blast furnaces in considerable
numbers are ready, or almost ready, for
operation in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Illinois aud Delaware. To illustrate
how these engagements in the iron
bushes will aid the cause OF labor, it
may be mentioned that 800 more hands
will be needed by one Pennsylvania
company as soon as it has completed
some additions to its mills.

Experiments we're made with the aid OF
powerful microscopes. The Professor
began his operations OF hatchng in his
watch crystal. After impregnating the
eggs in moderately warm water the
young oysters began to swim in about
two hours time. The shells commenced
to grow Immediately, the oysters con-
tinuing TO swim after the little shells had
formed. There were many rapid changes
of formation during the fermentation. -
Some were 30 rapid that they gave only
fifteen seconds of time in which to draw
their diagrams. At times they were fiat
and pear shaped, with inner circles, then
round, with hairy appendages, again
assuming form like the sole Of a shoe,
rapidly changing to tadpole formation
with long tail. They we're so diminu-
tive that 500, 900 could swim around in

yields from 10000 to $4,000 900

Professor could not be positive as to a
million or 80. The oyster sexually ma
lures in one year, when about the size
of silver half dollar. When the shells
first formed 125, 900, 900 would only fill
a cubic inch of space.
In answer to question why oysters
were not healthy except in the "r"
months, the Professor said they soon
fermented when in the milky state, or

the water they we're not unhealthy food.
