GOVERNOR WIN. ALLEN, of Ohio,
Engraved by Charles Ulrich on
saw-blade, in the Ohio peniten-
tlary from a photograph

Over, in glass case, among a lot Of
photographs of noted eounterfeiters, there
is picture of broad-faced individual,
with pair of very sharp grey eyes and
most genial expression about we'll
formed mouth. This is Ulrich, the noted
counterfeiter, whose skill at counterfeit
ing there is none can equal. Ulrich was
serving term of twelve years in the
Ohio State prison, at Columbus, when
one day, in 1876, he got hold OF photo
graph of Governor Allen. Without any
more ado he set to work on an old saw
blade and engraved an exact counter
part of the picture, head, face and bust,
making such remarkably good likeness
that it attracted attention far and near
and Gov. Allen himself came to see it.
So perfect was it that the Democrats of
Ohio, in the next canvass for the govern
orship, in which Governor Allen ran for
reelection, used it on their Transparent
cies, and the picture stands to-day as one
the best ever made of Governor Allen.
Ulrich was pardoned out shortly after
that, and is now engaged IN the china
and glass business at Trenton. l7hizadez-

wagons would be much less, thus doing
away with the necessity for new ones as
often as is now felt; and this argument
should appeal to the teamster, who in
some cases owns the team with which he
transports merchandise for shops and
factories.
So great has been found to be the adj
vantage Of broad-rimmed wheels over
marrow ones, that in Europe many Of the
turnpike roads allow wheels Of certain
width to pass toll free, believing them to
be help instead Of an injury to the
road. Wishing to be reasonable in their
judjment of this matter, the committee
recommended that fair time be allowed
to bring about the change, and therefore
propose that it should not be compulsory
until the expiration of three years from
the passing of the act, but as means of
fastening good time, they would sug-
gest that towns be authorized to offer
bounties to all who may adopt the law
previous to its taking effect
The city of Syracuse has by ordinance
adopted broad wheels, and already saved
thousands by SO doing. Chicago is about
to do the same.
Inc DILL winch Is presented provides
that three years after its passage, the
wheels of every wagon and vehicle with
four wheels drawn by one beast passing
upon or over any common highway
within the commonwealth shall have fel-
loes not less than three inches in width;
and, if drawn by two beasts, the said
wagon or vehicle shall have felloes not
less than four inches IN width; and If
dra Hn by more than two beasts, shall have
felloes not less than five inches in width;
and if the carriage be cart or vehicle
with two wheels, and drawn by one
beast, the fclloes shall not be less than
five inches in. width, and, if drawn by
two beasts or more, said cart shall have
felloes not less than six inches in width.
The penalty for the violation of the law
is fine Of not less than $5, or more than
$40. Stage coaches, omnibuses, hacks,
family and pleasure carriages, are ex-
cepted from the provisions OF the act.
Cities >and towns are allowed to offer a
county to all persons who shall adopt
the rules laid down previous to the acts
taking effect.

"Wrecked."

Few men can hear of the loss of a gal
liant ship without touch of sadness. |
Life has been compared to the great ocean
and men to ships which sail thereon.
When a bark has braved the tempest of
strange seas comes home with rusted hull
and tattered sail men welcome her back
just as they Go one OF their own kind who
has journeyed afar and passed through
peril to benefit his race. It is when we
come upon the wreck of q once noble
ship that men try hardest to remember
how we'll she serves her builders. It is
when we hear that some gallant bark is
missing, leaving no sign nor trace, that
men are awed as they speak her name.
There is nothing that will touch and
soften the hearts like the sight Of the
wrecks which drift here and there on
.ife's ocean-once grand and gifted men
now blown hither and th1ther, now going
with currents, now hidden from sight by
the mantle of night or the mysterious
fog. He, who visits an asylum for the
insane will gaze out upon an ocean which
is ever changing its surface and its shores.
One moment the water will be calm and
peaceful-the next there will be the roar
Of a storm and the growl of breakers.
Before him will drift wrecks without
number-some moving slowly out of the
fog-some drifting into it-some skirt
ing the shores on which stand fearful
friends to wave farewell-others being
carried by unseen currents far to sea. It
is an ocean without harb or Of refuge
Once wreck upon its bosom and there
is no landing. Day and night, for weeks
and months and years, the dismasted
and dismantled hulks weave in and out
of this fog-in and out of the sunlight
whirl slowly about in the eddles-catch
on the shoals and go driving further out
upon the troubled waters. Storm and
rust and time are silently at work, and
one by one, as the years creep on, old
wrecks sink silently into the sea and are
heard of no more forever.
When men die we forget that they
were like those who still live on. We for
get all that was bad in them and remem-
Der all that was good. We know that
they are dead, and the busy world closes
up the gap and marches along. But
when men sail out upon life's ocean to be-
come wrecks-to be dead in all but
name-to drift in the,darkness without
chart or beacon-to feel the shores going
further and further away from them
there is something so pitiful that eyes
} fill with tears and hearts grow tender
They are not dead, yet their faces are
never seen on the streets. They have
no tombstones, yet men read their epi
taphs and forget them. In battered
hulk drifts skeleton crew. drifting
driving, swirling, plunging, and there /!
no help. The end is darker night,
stronger gale and a cry of despair
as the waters close over all and roll or

they are 80 far from any danger of sur
prise that no one keeps watch at night.
The thought never comes to them that
their captives-two feeble women and a
boy-can escape.
Night comes. The fire burns low. Ali
are asleep, lulled by the music OF the fall
ing waters. No-all are not asleep. The
woman of brave spirit never before was
so wide awake. Hannah Dustin awakes
Mary Neff and Samuel Leonardson, in
forms them Of her purpose and gives
each a tomahawk. Each one selects a
victim.
"Strike hard!'
A signal, and the hatchets crush down
through the skulls Of the sleeping In
dians, blow after blow in quick success
sion. It is the work of minute, but in
that brief time ten OF the twelve Indians
are killed; two only escaped in the dark
ness. " 1883
The prisoners prisoners no longer
gather the provisions, take the guns OF
the Indians, and place them In a canoe,
The thoughtful women, to prevent pur-
| suit, quickly cut holes in all the other
canoes and set them adrift. They take
| their seats in the remaining canoe, and
push out into the stream.
A thought comes. If they are spared
to reach their homes, will their friends
believe their story? They will have evi-
dence that cannot be disputed. They
paddle back to the island. Mrs. Dustin
runs knife around the scalp-locks of the
dead Indians, and takes them from the
skulls. They start once more in the
darkness They know that the river
will bring them to their homes. s
The current bears them on. Soon they
| are amid the rapids of Pennacook, but
the thought OF home, of liberty cools their
brains and steadies their nerves. The
intrepid women handle the paddles dex-
terously, steering clear Of sunken rocks
and dangerous whirlpoois. ~-
then to falls, around which they must
carry the canoe. They are in danger of
death by drowning, in danger of prowl-
| ing savages, whose wi gwams are still
standing on the banks of the winding
stream, but no Indian discovers them.
With tireless energy they ply their pad
dies. Days pass. At last they sweep
round bend and behold familiar scenes
they are once more at home, coming up
on their sorrowing friends like appari'
tions from the dead. It is marvellous
story they have to tell of endurance, he
roism and victory. No one can doubt
their words, for there are the scalps, evi-
dence undoubtable.

THE IDEAL.

/ think the song that's sweetest
Is the one that's never sung;
That lies at the heart of the singer
Zoo grand for mortal tongue.
And sometimes in the silence
Between the day and night,
He fancies that its measures
Bid farewell to the light.
A picture that IS fairer
Than all that have part
Among the masterpieces
In the marble halls of art,
Is the one that haunts the painter
In all his golden dream.
And to the painter only
A real picture seems.
The noblest, ,grandest poem
Lies not in the blue and the gold
Among the treasured volumes
That rosewood bookshelves bold; I.
But in bright, glowing visions, s.
tt comes to the poet'sibrain, .r
And when he tries to grasp it
He finds his effort vain.
A fairy hand from dreamlana.
Beckons up here and there, ...
And when we strive to clasp it
1t vanishes into the air.
And thus our fair ideal IT..
Floats away just before
And we with longing spirits
Reach for it evermore. % H.

Are tempted:

But he can pierce with arrows fleet,

Fashion Notes.

Parasol costumes are the last freak of
fashion. --....
Pearl hats are fashionable; the brims
are very narrow.
Iridescent head embroideries on jet
continue In high fashion.
Red balaycuses are worn by girls and
women Of the period. RI
Boquets are worn to match upon the
corsage and in the hair.
Red makes a better accessory than
component part of a costume. 49,.
The full sleeve gathered into wide
cuff at the wrist is revived for house
dresses. .#
New overskirts are short apron fronts,
with long plain backs without drapery.
Ribbons are very wide; the sash
widths are often used for trimming
round hats. ST.. s,-, ~. ~
Handkerchief suits, with umbrellas to
match, are pretty, effective and luxar1-
.ous novelties. 49,
Embroidery is preferred to lace tor
trimming young girls white muslin
dresses this summer.
Calico ard percale suits, with UNI
brellas to match, are sold under the
name Of parasol costumes.
The new colors in silks, ribbons and
f overs, are Indian red, Antwerp blue,
bronze, citron and biscuit.
Rows OF small daisies are used to head
the Breton and Languedoc laces which
trim evening dresses.
l.:
having six and eight buttons, are worn
fashionably this season for full dress.
Some silly old women are wearing
pretty white muslin parasol hats, such
as young girls affect for garden and
lawn pa1ties.
! Gentlemen favor the leopard pattern,
| dots on hose. hand dkerchiet scarfs, COL
lars and cuffs, and even dotted under
wear is fashionable.
In cambr1cs may be found a hand
some variety of picturesque effects.
Some Of the bordered patterns are re-
markably snowy, the colors being the
brightest that fashion ever massed to-
gether.
All gloves are less expensive than for
many years. Cotton gloves come as
elaborately made in open-work and silk
stitching as the Lisle thread and are fire.
quently imposed upon the ignorant by
careless salesmen.
Llsle thread gloves are much more
elastic, thinner, and when placed beside
| the cotton the difference is discernible.
They are embroidered and plain, some
of them are open worked nearly to the
|elbow; Others have elastic bands at the
wrist.
