The Great Eastern TO be Sold


Manchester Enquirer.
This celebrated steamship will be sold by
auction next month, unless it is previously
disposed of by private treaty. Bor some
time past the vessel has been unemployed,
and the step now proposed was foreshadowed
in the last report Of the Directors Of the
company which owns 1t, as will be gathered
from the following paragraph:
"During the past year several proposals
for the employment Of the ship have been
made, but have fallen through from some
cause or other; the directors are, however,
using their best exertions to attain that OBJ
ject, which now becomes imperative, as the
funds available for the maintenance Of the
ship are approaching exhaustion, and under
these circumstances the directors feel 1t de-
srable TO take powers from the shareholders
to dispose Of the ship In case no favorable
proposal for chartering her should be re-
ceived. The balance to the debit of profit
and loss account at the close of the past year
was fS,431. Considerable expenditure was
made on the vessel last year, when she had
new upper decks and part new masts." IL
may be stated that the capital of the compa-
ny is S100, 900, and that she stood in the
books at the close of 1880 at fS6,715. A
few particulars concerning the famous steam
ship may not be uninteresting in view of the
tons builders, 1915 tons gross. and 1884
tons net register, and was built from de-
signs and under the 5uperintendance of the
late Mr.. |. X. Brunei, by the firm of Scott
Length, $50 feet; breadth, SO feet, and depth
60 feet. The brokers state that she is fitted
with four cable tanks, occupying some cargo
space and most of the dining saloons, but
that all can be easily removed and the ship
fitted as originally. The nominal power of
her paddle engines is 1,000-horse, aud her
screw engines are 1,G00-horse power. Her
boilers, which are tubular and situate amid
ships, are eight In number, of which six, by
Forester, were new in 1867, and the other
two, by Humphreys, Tenant g. Co., were
new in 1870. The number of plates in the
hull is 10000, and about 100000 rivets
were used in fastening them. No less than
10, 900 tons of iron were used in her construc-
tions and she was the first vessel fitted with
steam fitting gear. She has been employed
In various ways, but, perhaps, in none more
successfully than the laying Of the Atlantic
cable. She is stated now to be in excellent
condition, and the brokers invite an inspec-
tion Of her al Milford Haven.

Wonders OF Electricity.
Ne,c York Mail.

Mr.. Charles +. Brush, the inventor of the
Brush electric light, has recently returned
from the Electric Exhibition in Paris. He
says, in reply TO a reporters question, that
tie Semens electric railway Is success,
"and there is no apparent reason why the
elevated trains in this city cannot be run by
this or similar system" He thinks the
use Of such system for long distances will
not be practicable until the storing Of elec
tricity has been accomplished, hut he admits
that NJ. Faure's experiments in such storage
have opened ga wide field which viii soon
revolutionize every branch of electricity. A
prediction has recently been lnade that the
steam engine must soon be relegated to the
museum as relic Of the past, and such a
prediction does not appear 50 absurd upon
second thought, when IL is recoilected that
the most celebrated electricians are among
the foremost to declare their faith In the In.
dustrial revolution to be effected by electric.

The Gold OF Ola.

In discussing the subject Of gold the Bos-
ton Herald says 1t "was originally known
as the metal of kings. Milton calls IL bar
baric'-s barbarIc pearl and gold '--because
inthe early periods Of history 1t most abound
ed among the nations whom the Greeks
called barbarians, and who were from the
Greek standpoint Of civilization, intelligence
and refinement. barbarous." This may be
all true, but Milton can hardly be cited As
authority for it. Milton said:
"or where the gorgeous East, with richest
showers on her Kings barbaric pearl and
gold"
And Milton meant that . barbaric" should
describe the kings, not the pearl and gold OF
u gorgeous East. He evidently intended
10 say that II Was great waste Of precious
things and an evidence Of lavish riches, that
even barbaric kings,or kings bArbaric, should
thus have pearl aud gold showered upor
them.

animals Necessary for Research.
Prof. gircl,o~, in International Medical "a

Prot. gircl,og, in International Medical Re
How, then, can a great result to the science
of healing be expected If research in animals
be cut off? For long time no remedy hes
been more rapidly recognized or more ex-
tensively used than chloral, the effects Of
which were discovered and were estab-
lished experimentally by Herr o. Liebreich
i'm my laboratory. How would 1t have been
possible to know how to ascertain these ef-
fects without experiments on animals? The
animals friends say to us !: "Then try the
new medicine on yourselves" They refer
us to the provings Of medicines by the honi-
eopaths. But, quite independently of the
fact that the provings of the honGopaths
have not taught us to recognize one single
new remedy which can be compared even at
distance with choral, aud that these prov
ings, even in regard to already known reme-
dies, do not in the least correspond to scien-
tific investigations; that thus they cannot be
altogether regarded as an original example
-one will yet not be able to earnestly desire
that very different, possibly poisonous, bod
les should be made the subject of self-exper-
imentation by physicians or other men.
This kind of morality, which forbids expert
ments on animals and counsels experiments
on ones own life or on sick men, misses, in
fact, the first foundations of intelligent ex-
animation.

1 Food aud Health s8a
Take little of the coffee and press IL be-
tween the fingers, or give II squeeze In the
paper in which it Is bought; If genuine, 1t
will not form acoherent mass, as coffee grains
are hard and do not readily adhere to each
other; but IL the grains stick to each other
and form sort Of cake, we may be pretty
sure OF adulteration in the shape Of chicory,
for the grains Of chicory are softer and more
open, and adhere without difficulty when
squeezed. Again, If we place q few grains
In saucer and moisten them with little
cold water, chicory will very quickly become
soft like bread crumbs, while coffee will take
long time to soften. A third test: Take q
wine glass or tnmbier full of water, and gem
tly drop pinch Of the ground coffee on the
surface Of the water without stirring or agi-
tation; genuine coffee will float for some
time, while chicory or any other soft root
will soon sink; and chicory or caramel will
cause yellowish or brownish color to diff
fuse rapidly through the wster, while pure
coiIes win give no sensible tint under stlcll
circumstances for aconsiderable length Of
time.

TWO SOULS.
BY HAHN.

"Mein Herr, ich will dich fragen."
Speak TO me, o! my Heart, and tell
What, then, is love, the witching spell?
Two souls that in one thought do meet,
Two hearts that with one pulse do beat.
And whence comes love into our air?
Love comes to us-and IL is there
And why, then, does love 60 away?
'Tis not love if it does not stay. ..
What purest love hath earthly lot?
That which itself hath most forgot.
And what love do we know most deep?
That which doth e'er the stillest keep.
Aud when has love the richest store?
When it gives daily more and more.
And what words doth loves rapture seek?
Love only loves-and does not speak.

One knocked at his beloved's door. and a
voice from within said:
aWho is there ?"
He answered: at is l."
Then the voice said: "This house will not
hold me and thee"
And the door remained fast shut. Then
went the lover into the desert and tasted
and prayed in solitude. And after year he
returned and again knocked at the door.
And again the voice asked:
Who Is there ?''
And he said: " 1t is thyself."
And Immediately the door was opened to

Pennsylvanians. Regions once spouting ont

wv a Land Error Has Been Continued
Ch;cago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Tie United States Land Office makes the
area of Louisiana to be 4l,346 square miles.
Prof Hilgard, in a census report lately pub
lished, puts the figures at 40, ,4s0 square miles.
The difference is one of 2,607, 800 acres. 1t
is more than the combined area of Rhode
Island and Delaware. An examination of
the State by parishes shows considerable
excess In land over that reported by the Land
Office. There are l,242 complete townships
in the State. amounting to 44,7I2 square
miles, beside fractions of others, showing an
excess Of $500 square miles on the lowest
calculation. Prof. Hilgard, of the Census
Bureau, writes to the New Orleans Democrat
that he has gone over the figures carefully
with the geographcr Of the Bureau, Mr.. Gan-
merit, and both are convinced that The Land
Office report is wrong. They imagine that
the first United States survey found - 4s3z6
square miles that the second !" 4" was
transcribed as ~, and that the error has
been carried down from year 10 year, and

THE END.
j. @. HOLLAND.

A wasp few out upon our fairest son
And stung him to the quick with poisoned
shaft,
The while he chatted carelessly and laughed,
And knew not Of the fateful mischief done.
And so this life, amid our love begun,
Envenomed by the insects hellish craft,
Was drunk by death in one long feverish
draught,
And he was lost-our precious, priceless
one!
o, mystery Of blind, remorseless fate!
o, cruel end of most causeless hate!
That life so mean should murder life so great!
What is there left TO us who think and feel,
Who have no remedy and no appeal,
But damn the wasp and crush him under
heel?
