GOOD-BYEI

. Goodbye my grill
You have my tender heart,
And all the thronging fancles of my brain
Are yours Good-byei When you are gone
From eyes you sometimes loved,
And voice that olten grew
30 strangely soft that had never known
II spoke my words,
Away from all our world;
When evening comes, and softly settle down
The melancholy shadows
OF the night
Just for one moment, then,
Remember what we were, and, dArl ng, think
OF dreary days and misery thatI
Am bearing all alone.
It Is not much 10 ask. But listen, now:
The lark sings all the day,
And he ~ mad
Who thinks that no can steal the melody
And cage 1t In his heart,
And treasure II
From every passer-by.
so have heard your song.
II will be sung again, and other hearts
VIII listen, and be charmed,
And love ms have loved.
You sang for me shall remember that;
And IT. some summer eve,
You find your lips repeating the old words,
And pause, and catch your BREATH
Aud think howl
Felt all the glory ofmy life shine forth
When first heard
That Will bs all ask.
Goodbye, my whllom singerl-it Is done
My heart, good-bye' A little while,
Alone,
wander In the dark, and then Igo
Where the bright sun shines, and whereI
Can smile.

THE death of Major William J. Twin
ing, Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict, who has been so suddenly cut off in
the midst of his busy usefulness, will be
deeply felt by all classes of our citizens.
In the few years he has had charge of
the improvements here he has quietly
but persistently pursued his duties, and
the results Of his labors have been seen
in the gradual growth of form and symme-
try in the various sections of the District.
His two main objects were the improve
ment of the river front, his plan for the
removal of the noxious flats which have
been the blot upon the national capital
having been adopted by the congress
sional committee, and the giving of adj
ditional water supply by the establish
ment of q distributing reservoir near
Howard University. 1t is deeply regret
ted that the grim monster should have
selected so prominent a mark for. his vic
tim. No man since Governor Shepherd
HIS seemed to so thoroughly grasp the
plan improvements, or to display such
positive executive ability as Major Twin
ing. While strict and exacting in his
relations with contractors, he was per-
fectly Just and courteous in his treatment
of them, and consequently was deserv-
eddy popular. He was possessed of all
the noble traits that belong to an up
tight, honorable man.

An Appeal to the Ladies Of Mineral Point.

We are in receipt of letter,
dated August 23d, from Mrs. 5. S.
Frackelton, Supt. of the Decorative
Art Department of the Milwaukee
Exposition, touching upon subject
which we trust the ladies Of Mineral
Point will give due consideration,
and finally conclude to acquiesce
with Mrs F.'s wishes. The letter
reads:
81 am anxious to make some collective cx-
hibits from some Of the principal cities IN the
State at The Milwaukee Exposition. believe
there is taste and good work enough TO war
rant it II Only some one with enough energy
and public spirit win take hold Of the matter
What ] want is anything in the way Of art
work except oil pain lings Such things as
embroidery, china painting, decorated screens,
mirrors, etc, aud things which the ladies have
made themselves, or any quaint rich, old, or
interesting things which they own, and are
willing to show If a sufficient number Of
ladies VIII club together from each city and
send such articles II lovely little room will be
devoted TO each exhibit and arrangcd just as
they like it.
There will be no charge for transportation,
and everything will be kep. fully insured and
carefully guarded during the exposition"
Now, good ladies Of Mineral Point,
here is an opportunity to have yodr
merits, skill and taste become more
widely known. 1t is our sincere
desire land we believe we voice the
sentiments Of all loyal ctzens) to
see the privilege embraced. An ex-
hibit Of this nature certainly will
produce a pleasant rivalry Of an
Intellectual nature between the diff
ferent Western cities and the slim
ulous cannot fail to accomplish much
good. Let a sufficient number of
ladies to form a committee, if no
more, put their heads together at
once and begin active operations,
such as are essential to success.
Mineral Point being one of the
oldest towns in the State, outsiders
may reasonably expect quaint and
curious as well as skillful and meri-
torious collections readily gathered
here. Who viii take the matter in
hand?

as to affect the general case. For
example, the seas in the earliest ages
were much more extensive than
they are now; this is inferred from
The vast extent of surface at present
occupied by these rocks, which evil
IDENTITY required equally extensive
seas Tor their deposition, 1t Is also
evident from the character OF these
ancient rocks that a much higher
temperature existed during their
formation than is now experienced
upon the earth. Still as has been
already said the world was in the
main such as it now is; aud OF this
fact, the memorials found to exist
are very curious. For example,
wavy ridges mark extensive surfaces
of strata in quarries, as may be
seen to-day on any sandy beach
after ebb OF tide. What is now a
platform of hard rock, was original
Iy sandy beach, along which the
sea rose and fell under the influence
Of tides. Qaarrymen digging up
sandstones formed nnnumbered ages
ago, find their upper layers invaria-
bly, presenting casts Of the ripping
surface on which they rest, showing
that the rock formed was laid down
in a soft state. We have even mem
oriais Of the wind tracabIe III our
rocks, as well as the direction from
which it blew at the time when the
ram fell upon these tablets, while as
yet there were no human eyes to
observe, or TO note times and sea
sons.

proceed with our subject.
