INCOMPLETE,

There's song that never could sing,
Though ts notes In my memory ring,
And It's measures full OF the sweets OF the years.
OF voices Of children and laughter aud tears
And the whlrr OF the summer birds wing
There's picture never could paint,
Sweet and fair some aureoled saint;
Like a dawn ON the ocean. where no eye can see,
In wild, htinl spendor II bnrneth for me,
And mourn as lis colors grow faint.
There's dream an never can tell
What my own bosom lOvetb so well.
Yet how sweetly It comes In the depths Of the night
Like message II comes, like a message 0f light
From the land where the sun children dwell.
For gather the thought and the tone
From the wreck Of bright hours that are flown,
And hold 10 my heart. In my foolish despair
A trihe-a nothing much lighter than dir
lIfeleas leaves OF "a love have known.

Where,a rhnt I.nnab.

A sneak thief grabbed the carcass of q
lamb tha hung on hook in front of John Eylns'
meat market. on Prospect street, last night, and
finding he was pursued ran into an alley near by,
threw his booty behind pile Of boxes and boldly
turned back. His pumuers met him at the
corner.
"where's that lamb I" demanded one.
"what lamb 2" innocently asked the thief.
"why, the one you ran around the corner with
a minute ago." explained the one who had taken
hold the stranger.
"Im not the man. You've made mistake, but
did meet a fellow Just now, running like thun-
der. with a sheep over his shoulder. He turned
that corner there Just two minutes ago.
"Hes our mani" exclaimed both, and on they
started leaving the real thief 10 disappear hastily

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
The Leg or To-Day and the Leg OF Twenty
Years Ago.

A manufacturer of these useful append
ages said to a New York reporter: "The leg Otto
day is very different fIom that OF twenty years ago.
Then 1t was heavy, loose -joDted, cumbersome,
creaky affair. Every one remembers how easy Il
was TO tell man with artificial leg as soon us
he came within sight or hearing. The creaking
was perhaps the most disagrceable part of the af-
fair. That has been done away with by means of
one or two little patented improvements. The
principal one Of these is concealed screw at the
point OF the leg and foot that enables the wearor
of the leg to stop the creaking at any time. Once
upon time he would have TO send II back to the
maker TO have the joints tightened,
and the cost would have been $40. Now
he can do 1t for himself without cent of
cost. Then thore is contrivance worked by
band passing down from the shoulder strap TO
throw the leg forward as the wearcr moves. This
Is particularly useful 10 ladies, 1t pushes the
SIX irts with more effort than the action Of the
natural limb occasions. But above oil, the support
of tho body has been transferred TO de rent part
ofthe leg Formerly, the stump rested on cushion
in the socket and the weight fell upon this sensi
tive point OF contact. Now, by means OF steel
braces, the region OF contact is almost entirely
at either side Of the thigh, where there is, COM
parativcly no scnsitiycness. A man with M arti-
fcial leg nowadays can do almost anything that
man with two natural legs can For instance In
this letter here man writes that he has travelled
horseback and nioot thousands of miles over
Wyoming. Colorado ana Mexico on one"
"what provision is there for n person who loses
the whole part of an arm p asked the reporter
The manufacturer stepped to q case Of flesh
colored artificial members and took out an arm
The hand was covered with perfect. fitting glove.
There was an arm to be worn.by a woman hang
ing next TO the one thatbe selected and the small
hand was encnsed In a long many .buttoned white
kid glove. Ho put loop at the end of white
wooden band attached TO the upper part OF the
arm around his right arm, slipped the band about
his shoulders, and then inserted his hand into the
socket of the artificial arm. Then he took of and
replaced the reporters hat, the artificial fingers
| being worked by means of mechanism In the
| socket He also raised and held an open book up
| before him.
"Iam not at all expert in the management Of
these arms" he Observed but ifI had TO depend
| upon one OF them for the remainder OF my life ]
suppose that would soon learn how to make the
best OF It," The stump, acting upon the mechan-
ism In the socket, opens and shuts the fingers and
makes them hold any article desired. The fingers
are composed of steel skeleton, covered with son
| India rubber well-shaped, and they have natu-
raj feeling toanother person. One man writes that
he can draw and paint, and that he holds medal
for his drawing from the New Hampshire State
Fair. Another says that he can write well, as in
deed his letter shows, and can send telegraph mes
/ sages as an operator.

A Savage who Once Tossed UP Babe nnd
Cnurht Il on the Point of IIs KnIfc.

The news has just reached us of the
death OF Chipco the chief of the remnant Of
band of Tallahassee Indians ON the 10th of octo-
Der last. This noted Seminole warrior, as near as
can be learned, was n little over one hundred
years of age, and had, up to q few months back,
been able TO engage In the hunts and annual ies-
tvies of his tribe but has at last had TO succumb
TO old age He fully participated In the long Semi
mole war. and at the time Billy Bowlcgs and his COM
panions were deported to the Indian Territory
in ls56-Chipeo and HIS band managed to eludc
their pursuers and have since lived here and there
In the Kissimmee country, though Of late years
their main camp has been about twenty five miles
east Of here, near the Catfish Lakes. Though not
actively engaged in the memorable Dade's massa-
ere in 1885. Chipco was present at many massacres
and battles Of minor importance. In talking over
his past he always expressed regret for but
one deed, which was the killing Of white infant
by tossing II upand catching it II came down on
the point of his hunting-knife. The usual for
malities peculiar TO Indian tribes were gone
through with al his death. Six fine horses and
many fat hogs were shot and killed at his grave
and his rife and hunting accoutrements, together
with cooking utensils were buried with him. so
that he might have the use Of them In the happy
hunting grounds" The remnant of Chipco's band
now numbers but three warriors, with their wo-
men, children, and negroes. and the chieftain's
mantle has descended on the shoulders Of Chlpco's

Rev. II. w. Bsilow. on the New.papers.

The newspapers-the universal litera-
ture Of our peoples itself becoming library Of
knowledge and art. No could read habitually
even one of our chief newspapers without an i'm
mense opening OF his horizon of thought, great
quickening Of his intellect, and substantial re-
lation with the thought and feeling Of the whole
world. The difference between man who can
read well enough To enjoy his newspaper and one
who cannot is hardly TO be estimated suppose
our newspaper education is the most influential of
all In this country. But 1t depends for Its exis-
tence and its improvement on the preparation for
Its use and enjoyment made in our common
schools. II rises In tone spreads In intellectual
breadth. and increases In moral purity as the
reading class becomes more numerous and varied.
II Is great mistake TO speak lightly Of newspapers.
The press. think. has q somewhat romantic and
exaggerated idea OF Its supremacy In creating or
leading public opinion, but In Its general edueat-
ing influence, its stimulus for thought. 1t has cer-
tain tendency To create taste for better reading
than II can itself supply do not believe 1t Is
easy to oyerate its national Importance.
