POETRY.
aMY SHRIEE.D
A Poem by the Victim of the st. LOUIS
Tragedy.

The following verses, published In the st.
louis Globe Democrat, are from the pen of
he late Colonel A. w. Slay back:
Upon my mantel In a row FL.
-Four simple pictures glow,
With shining frames about them placed
OF neat and modest taste;
-Four images of daughters mine.
Whose faces beam with light divine,
And here I've made my shrine.
The place is more like sacred ground
Than any have found;
No dome of fresco reared by art
Can so impress my heart;
IT'S here feel remorse begin,
With contrite grief for every sin;
And faults that close to crime akin,
Make heaven so hard to win.
And here my soul, remote from crowds,
Is shadowed by no clouds;
Aloof at last from tangling care,
I lift to God my prayer,
And he that doth in secret see
In secret seems to answer me,
For sake of these that may be
From secret sin kept free.
Alone, seek at this pure shrine
The face of God divine,
In public no one Is sincere,
For all are tinged with fear;
But here my heart is all laid bare
To him who doth for sparrow care;
To him lift parents prayer:
"Wilt thou these children spare?"
N
This is my prayer say and feel,
AS at my shrine kneel,
And 10! though absent far and wide;
think them at my side,
And hosts celestial come and 60
On radiant wings as white as snow g..
Till heaven above and heaven below,
Have made my shrine aglow.
But no intruding eye could see
The light that shines on me;
Four little pictures on the wall 81
To others would be all; ga.
And yet to me the thought Is given
or such the kingdom is of heaven,
And from this shrine despair is driven.
BY hope to be forgiven.

An experiment with an ingenious device
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
prove costly to the family of August Seeds.
q reliable employee Of the concern. who has
held his position as engineer for twenty
years. The officials Of the company on the
New York division were favorably impressed
with a patent contrivance which was intend
ed to .upersede the safety valve. This ap-
paratus was to relieve the pressure on the
boiler when it reached l25 pounds and car.
nv off the steam and heat through pipes 10
the smoke arch at the base Of the of smoke
stack. This arrangement has worked sue
cessrully with engines using hard coal, but
there has been considerable difficulty with
those burning soft coal. Engine No. 600 10
one of the powerful soft coal engines en-
ployed ON the passenger line between jersey
City and Philadelphia. 1t was decided to
put In this, the new safety valve or blow
back, as 1t Is called, despite the fact that the
locomotive is built to consume soft coal.
The new appliance was recently put in-in
fact the engine ieft the car shops on the
Hackensack meadow near Jersey City, only
two days ago. The engine male its 6rst
trip with this device yesterday afternoon,
and August Seeds was in charge. When the
engine was approaching the bridge across
the Hacksnsack river, only a short distance
from the Meadow shops, through some dis
arrangement the steam, instead of escaping
through the pipe into the smoke stack and
| passing out with the smoke, forced . way
through the fues Of the furnace.
The result was that the live Goals and
the cab, and the unfortunate engineer was
| enveloped In a cloud of steam and shower
of burning Goals. He rushed from the cab
to the tender mass of flame, and instinct
| lively he plunged into the manhole Of the
tender, from which he was taken by the
train hands and conveyed to St. Francis
hospital, Jersey City. The live Goals set
| Hre TO the cab, and as the flames and steam
issued from it, an engineer named Steele, Z
passenger, who was riding on = front seat On
the forward car, divinlng that something
was wrong, quickly clambsred over the Ten
| der, and dashing into the burning cab, re-
yersed the engine and applied the air brakes.
The hands OF the hero were badly burned,
but he fortunately escaped serious injury,
although he will be incapacitated for work
for mary days. Seeds was fatally burned.
He lives In Philadelphia, and has wife and
fve children. He has for twenty year,
been engaged in running freight, and VA
only transferred 10 passenger engine two
months ago. The flames In the cab were
extingnishsG by the train hands.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The following poem relating to tho illness OF
the late Senator Hill, sent anonymously to Tho
Atlanta Constitution, and much admired, now
proves to have boon written by the wife of tho
late senator's son:
Oh rugged! restless river;
River of years--river Of tears
Thou river Of Life
River of tears! Yet DER thy bosom Joy, a.
bird flashes its gaudy wing,
And drinks its draught Of ecstasy from outthy
crystal spring.
Oh, sun-lt river shadowy river!
River of gladness--river Of sadness
Thou river Of Life!
River of gladness! Yet DER the blue OF the
beautiful sky floats cloud,
Out of whose heecy Wilderness the Loom OF
God is weaving shroud.
Oh, beautiful river! while the star of youth is
glowing
From the silver-sprinkled sky;
River of Life! when health's elixir flowing
Paints thy waters its rosy dye.
Sun-lit river, when the days are full Of peace
Aud the calm of the song the river sings,
And the quiet JOY the lullaby brings,
We feel will never cease.
And while the waters glow and gliston,
All how seldom do we listen
To the turning OF the ponderous wheel OF
Time,
Over whose granite sides are rushing
The waves of the river i'll symphony
sublime!
But when the waters are black and bleeding,
Dyed with dread Diseases breath,
And We feel the river leading
To the fathOmless sea of Death
Then, all then, in our agony of soul
We cry, "Oh wheel of Time, one moment
stay
Turn back the river, and cease to roll,
For life we love is passing away"
But God il the Miller, and the wheel is turning,
Though Griers hot irons our hearts are burn
ing,
And the rivers song--is only moan,
And the grinding wheel-sounds a groan.
| But from ont our midnight gloom
Look up, God lnoweth best
See the life we love as it catches the bloom
or Infinite radiance and rest.
Its waters have mingled with the crystal
stream
| Flowing 80 close to the throne,
And the waves have caught the golden CLEAN
And the rivers voice, Gods tender tone.
And the river in Heaven in its crystal calm
! Found its way through the golden bars,
Flowing upward-beyond the garden OF
stars
| To the feet of God and His Lamb.
Oh, royal river! radiant river!
River of Light--rivcr of Life
Thou river of God!

The prob'cm al manufacturing sugar
from sorghum. over which so much time
and money hat heretofore been trultleSsly
spent, sccns - have been satisfactorily
solved III Chaupmgn county, IN this state.
We copy the following from the Chicago
Trijuut.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.,, Oct. 0.-For several
wears chemists ana others have been cXpe.
rimenting with all varieties Of sorghum
with view to the profitable manufacture
of sugar, but until this season without any
practical result. Last season Profs. Weber
and SCovell, then of the Industrial Univer.
sitv, made a series Of experiments with
sorghum, and succeeded in making what
they believed new discovery in the art of
manufacturing sugar, and took out letters
patent on the process. For this last act
they lost their positions. The gentlemen
canned enlisted the attention OF number
of local capitalists, and during the past
summer o large factory, with the most ap-
proved crushing and cooperating machin'
crv, has been erected at q cost of S3O,OOO,
being the only one in the United States.
Three hundred acres of orange and amber
cane were planted; but, owing TO the back
ward season and exceedingly low tempera-
ture, 1t was not fit To work until about two
weeks ago. The yield of cane is from five
to twenty tons per acre, and the company
now pays 81 per ton for cane stripped ard
topped delivered ut the factory. The ma
Chincry is now running night and day,
aud with the NEST gratifying results.
Only one centrifugal machine was put IN,
as the company did not expect to make a
marketable sugar; but, greatly to the sur
prise OF all, the product turns out u
white sugar equal to a." and sells read
Ily at 81 cents at Wholesale. The capa
city of the works Is about ten acres per
day.
The chief trouble with sorghum hereto
fore has been that the grape sugar (glucose)
prevented the cane sugar from crystalli2-
ing. THIS difficulty has been overcome, as
has also the rank taste Of both sugar and
syrup. Later III the season the works Will
be used 10 manufacture glucose from the
sorghum seed grown on 300 acres, the pro-
duct from which il is expected will nearly
or quite pay for the cost of growing the
cane and manufacturing the sugar. The
works Will be improved next season 10y
the addition of more eYapOrators and
boilers, and, with favorable season for
the growth Of cane, much better results
are expected. The only question 10 be
solved now is: Will it pay? This can DC
told when the present crop has been eX
hsusted and the expenses figured up. Lo
cal grocers here are selling the sugar in
large quantities.

The Home OF Wasiington's Mother

Fredericksburg (Na) Letter to The Buffalo
Courier
1t will be borne in mind by most of tie
readers of The Courier that George Washing
tons mother resided in fredericksburg during
the revolution. She had lived here for some
years previously, and continued to do 80 until
her death. Her old residence, situated in the
westerly part of the town, is yet standing and
occupied, and il in as good a state of preser-
walton as the average dwellings Of the town.
II is a wooden building of two stories,
with one-story wings projecting from
either gable and dormer windows built
into the roof. 1t stands at the corner
of square, flush with the sidewalk,
with porch projecting nearly to the curb.
The entire building is about seventy five feet
long. The rear walls of the wings are, curl
ouslv enough. constructed of brick, although
the house il framed. The farm owned by tine
Washingtons at that time lies on the opposite
side of the river, Just below the town, or at
the point whore the First and Sixth corps, I'M
der Smith and Reynolds, crossed the river at
the assault upon Fredericksburg in 1852 1t il
said-and every reader will remember hear
ing it during the days of his boyhood-that
Washington WAS VIC OlilN Nbill tildb cNcl su'-
cecded in throwing stone across the river
skirting his fathers farm. have only to say,
after looking over the ground, that George
Washington or any other man could not throw
a stone half way across the stream at any
point at which it touches the Washington
farm.
Common rumor, as handed down to the
present day represents the old lady as not
being especially amiable, q little imprudent in
the choice and use Of beverages, and rather
free with the rattan among her servants,
sometimes following them out 10 the street IN
her frantic applications of the lash.
On the occasion Of her sons victor
ious return to fredericksburg at the
close of the war, and when every
one else was on the streets in gala dress to
welcome him, her own heart WAS not sufii-
GENTLY stirred to induce her to leave her room,
until lie entered the house, and sent a request
that she should come to him. Eight years had
passed since they had mot, and her formal
greeting WAS; II am glad TO see you, George
You have altered considerably"
Historians write Of this as simple exhibition
Of praiseworthy firmness, under which She
concealed her real emotions. Among the old
records on file in the clerks Office here is the
last will and testament Of the mother Of the
"Father of his Country" 1t is quite remark
able instrument in several respects, and |
have taken an exact copy, the length OF which
precludcs its introduction into this letter.

ridiculous he may be made by being called

rad that parents pay so little attention to the
effect Of their choice upon the future OF their
children They will register their first born as
Muggins Macpherson, If they happen to havea
rich uncle who boasts Muggins as his sur
name; they vii: spoil pretty patronymic by
christening their child Jeremiah Seymour or
Amiuadab Clifford, they will even turn him
out anonymously upon the world with such an
apology for a cognomen as John Smith or

care might make an endless difference to his
future life. l have known man whose whole
career was embittered and darkened by the

In Germany it seems, the business OF
liquor-sellng is not subject to Legislation
to the same degree as in this country,
simply because it is placed in the hands of
the police who control 1t and regulate 1t at
their discretion. "Gewerbe- FTeiheit" or
the freedom to carry on an occupation,
profession or business, is universally re.
cognlzed, but the keeping ofpublc houses,
hotels, tavcrns, drug stores, and places
where explosive compounds ere sold, is
expressly excepted and Is placed under
police regulations. The statutes dit1er IN
different states, but certain axiOms obtain
everywhere, OF which the following are the
most important:
/. 1t Is required as rule, that the
dispensers OF liquor by retail shall own
the property where they conduct their
business. This Is o guarantee that any
fines or penalties imposed for the VIOLA
ton of police regulations can be easily
collected, and individual responsibility
and submission to authority are thus as
sureu.
.. The concession, or license, system is
universal, and the rule Is that the privilege
OF selling liquor shall be assessed in iull
proportion to the expense inflicted upon
the community by the traffic. To follow
out similar rule IN American cities,
where dram shops are counted by thous'
ands would Justify the assessment upon the
saloon business of almost the entire cost OF
the police force.
3. The police authorities are absolute
IN their power to regulate the saloon bust
ness, they may grant concessions or refuse
them at their own discretion. They do
not regard every man and every location
as proper for conducting the business.
The result Is that there are no "grog
shops" IN German cities rs there are in
American cities. The "holes.in the-walls,"
the dives" and other vile resorts which
are found in such abundance on State and
Clark streets, and in other localities in
Chicago, would not be tolerated in Ger
man city. The police would refuse to
license such places, and would close out
saloons whenever they should descend to
so low level.
The same principles govern the saloon
business in Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Holland, and other continental countries.

the ultra notions OF personal freedom" as
he is to ultra cocrCive temperance, Is pre-
