DEATH OF FERNANDO WOOD.

Hon. Fernando Wood, member of
Congress from New York, died at

ance with public affairs made him
one Of the most useful men in the
House.

Henry w. Oliver, Of Pittsburg,
now thinks he was ga little too pre-
vious' in withdrawing from the Sem
atorial contest. He made the pro-
position to Mr.. Grow, supposing
their withdrawal would remove the
difficulties in the way Of electing a
Senator. He was surprised to find
that such was not the case, and says
that, had he forseen the result, he
would not have retired for General
Beaver.
1t is now stated that the Irish
Land League will shortly bring all
their funds to the United States for
Investment. Over $350,00O of the
fund was deposited in various cities
of France and Germany; but as Par
nell recently received a friendly hint
from the government of the former
country that there was no certainty
as to he would be treated if England
made a demand for his arrest, it is
to be presumed that the league con-
siders Paris as offering no greater
security as place of deposit for the
league funds than as place of res
idence for the league leaders.
One of the latest on dts of the po-
litical world is that, according to an
agreement made between Senator
Blaine and General Garfield, the
State Department is to be offered to
Mr.. Conkling, and that, in case of
Mr.. Conkling's refusal, which would
likely be in order after the offer, Mr..
Garfield would be in position to
"talk back" to the Conkling faction
should they ever make war upon
him. 1t is further said that Sena-
tor Logan is going to Mentor to ar
range the matter, and that while his
hand is in he will ask General Gar
field to nominate Senator David
Davis for the Supreme Bench, and
thus make a vacancy in the Illinois
senatorship.
A wonderful clock, constructed by
Mr.. John III. Hendley, Of Cumber-
land, is on exhibition in that city,
which, for the number of figures put
in motion 10y It's mechanism, far ex-
ceeds the model of the Strasburg
clock. The clock in its various parts
presents complete history of the
country from the landing of Column
bus up to the present time. There
is mill in motion, railroad cars
pass over track, a bell-ringer
strikes the bell, and over platform
passes in succession all the Presi-
dents from Washington to Garfield.
In addition there is a miniature
model of the Strasburg clock, with
all the moving figures in motion that
figure in the original. On a tower
a sentinel PAGES around the circle,
the American eagle screams and
flaps his wings, lady plays upon a
piano and two children see-saw in
time to the motion of the pendulum.
Mr.. Hendley has been for many
years engaged in the construction of
this wonderful clock.

Evans majority over Matthaei
is 143. y
The result was quite a surprise to
almost everybody, as Mr.. Evans
friends, while claiming he would be
elected, never dreamed of getting so
large a majority, especially as it was
thought the detection in the colored
vote would operate largely against
him.
But elections are very uncertain,
and when you are most certain it
frequently turns out that you don't
know anything about it. Both can
didates were good men for the posi-
ton, and both popular.

Pearl F Fisheries in Tennessee.
From the Nashville Americana


A gentleman who arrived here yester-
day from near Old Jefferson, Rutherford
County, says that new industry has
suddenly sprung up along Stone River,
III that vicinity. At first only a few
persons could be found wading in the
river and assiduously hunting mussels
which yielded fiuo pearls, which were
readily sold. Now not less than 500
people were engaged daily III raking
the bottom of that stream, dclving down
in the mud for mussels which are PILED
along the banks, opened and critically
examined for the treasures contained in
many of them. 1t will not be long be-
fore musscl may not be found in the
river IN the locality mentioned. The
Americas informant says that one pearl
was secured that brought $50 in New
York. The general range of value, how
ever, Was from so cents to So.

SEVEN YEARS OLD.
BY A. c. swINBURNE.

Seven white roses on one tree.
Seven white leaves of blameJess leayep-
Seven white sails on one soft sea,
seven white swans on one lakes lie
seven white flowerhke stars in heaven.
All are types unmeet to be
FOR birthdays crown Of seven
Not the radiance Of the roses
Not the blessing of the bread,
Not the breeze that ere day grows is
Fresh for sails and swans. and closes
Wings above the SUMS grave spread,
When the starshine on the snow Is
Sweet as sleep on sorrow shed.
Nothing sweetest, nothing best,
Holds so good aud sweet treasure
As tie love wherewith once blest
JOY grows holy, grief takes rest,
Life, half tired with hours to measure,
Fills his eyes and lips and breast
With most light and breath OF pleasure:
As the rapture unpolluted,
As the passion undefiled,
By whose force all pains heart-rooted
Are transfgured and transmitted,
Rccompensed and reconciIed,
Through the imperial, undisputed,
Present godhead Of child.
Brown bright eyes and fair bright head
Worth worthier crown than this is,
Worth r worthier song instead,
Sweet grave wise round mouth, full fed
With the Joy Of love, whose bliss Is
More than mortal wine and bread,
Lips whose words are sweet as kisses.
Little hands so glad of giving,
Little hearts so glad of love,
Little soul so glad Of living,
While the strong swift hours are weaving
Light with darkness woven above,
Time for mirth and time for grieving,
Plume of raven and plume Of dove.
/ can give you but word
Warm with love therein for leaven,
But song that falls unheard
Yet on ears of sense unstirred,
Yet by song so far from heaven,
When you came the brightest bird.
Seven gears since, Of seven times seven.
