by HORACE SMITH.

And thou hast walked sbout-how strange story
In Thebes's streets, three thousand years ago,
When the Memnonium was In all its glory,
And time lad not begun To overthrow
Those temples, palaces and piles stnpendous,
OF which the very ruins are tremendous.
Speak, for thou long enough hast acted dummy;
thou hast a tongue come, let us hear its tune;
Thou'rt standing on thy legs, above ground, Num-
Revealing the glimpses Of the moon;
Not ike thn ghosts disembodied creatures,
But with thy bones, and flesh, and limbs and feat
ur0s.
Tel us, for doubtless thou canst recollect,
To whom should we assign the Sphinx's fameI
Was Chops or Cophrcnes architect
or either pyramid that bears his name?
Is PomVey's Pillar really o misnomer?

Or dotfed thine own TO let Queen DIDO pass,
Or held, 10y Solomons own invitation,
A torch at the great temples dedication.
need not ask thee If that hand, when armed,
Has any Roman soldier mauled and knocked,
Tor thou vast dead, buried and embalmed
Ere Romu,us and Remus had been sucked:
Antiquity appears 10 have begun
Long after thy primeval race was run.
Thou couldet develop, If that withered tongue
Might tell us what those sightless orbs have seen,
How TIC world looked when it was fresh and young,
And the great deuge still had left IL green;
Or was It then Old that hstory's pages
Contained no record of its early ages?
Still silent, incommunicatlve elf?
Art sworn to secrecy? then keep thy vows;
But piithee, tell us something Of thyset;
Reveal the secrets Of ny prison-house;
Since ia the world of spirits thou hast sumbered.
What hast thou seen, what strange adventures num-
bored?
Since first thy form was IN this box extended
We have above giound seen some strange muts-
tons.
The Roman empire has begun and ended,
New worlds have risen, We have lost old nations,
And countless Kings have into dust been humbed,
While not fragment of thy flesh has crumbled.
Didst thou not hear the p7ther DER thy head
When the great Persian cong error, Cambyses,
Marched armies oerthy tomb with laundering tread,
Oerthrew Osiris, OrEe, Apis. Isis,
And shook the pyramid with fear and wonder,
When the gigantic Memnon fell asuHder?
II the toMb's secrets may not be confessed,
The nature Of thy private life unfold:
heart has throbbed beneath that leathern breast
And tears adown that dusty cheek have rolled
Have children climbed those knees and kissed that
face?
What was thy name, and station, age and racer

on. if he did not abet il, seeing, of
course, that all the liquor was purchased
at his bar, including that for Ben, who
meanwhile was rapidly perfecting him
self in the art Of drinking whisky. He
could already dispense with the swee.
inducement, and take it clear, solely for
the "fuddle." Even the brilliant young
man, with his superior education, who
had now become Ben's frequent COM
panion, could do no more, when whisky
was furnished both, "just for the fun Of
seeing them together"
Let me here digress moment to re-
peat the old story briefly. But eight
years back this young man had come to
the post, fresh from an Eastern law
school, in the bright morning of his life,
so full of promise, he had twice ably rep
resented the Territory in Congress,
where, to gain political friends, he had
too often yielded to political temptation.
Now, like Ben, he needed no persuasion.
The once proud, ambitious aspirant for
political honors was not above playing
his part with dissolute bear for free
whisky. He would seat himself upon
the ground, take the helpless creature
by the ear, rudely thrust his head down
among the straw, regardless OF the

him drunken brute, and lecture him
upon the disgracefrilness Of his course

CLAY LUMBER,-In view Of a posi-
bic lumber famine, some genius has in
vented q process for manufacturing or
making lumber out of fire clay, which.
the Scientific American says. is one of
the most important of recent practical
inventions. Besides supplying the place
Of lumber, its manufacture can fairly be
expected to aid greatly in solving the
problem of frepr0Of construction
The following description Of the materi-
al and the process of manufacture is ta-
ken from the above mentioned journal
The composition consists Of kaOlin clay,
free from grit, one part; resinOus saw
dust, from one to three parts, as p9rOsity
may be required, and water sufficient to
incorporate the above, 10y the aid of ma
chineTy, Into q plastic mass. Removed
from the grinding tubs, where it has
been ground, the spongy product IS fore
ed by plungerS driven by steam through
iron or steel cylinders to express the su-
perfitous moisture therefTOm. and issues
forth in the shape OF long blocks or logs
of length, form and size best fitted for
handling, usually eight to twelve inches
in thickness, and fOHr TO eight inches
ie length. When sufficiently dry TO rem
der handling safe, these logs arc moved
into kilns or clamps calculated for the
purpose. AlLeE bile Stedlu anu NdpOL
are blown out by a slow, steady, increas-
ing fire, the temperature is rapidly rails
ed to a white heat. which not only
consumes the sawdust, but brings the
clay itself into the first stages of vitrifi-
cation. On cooling, the logs are taken
to the mill and sawed into planks, boards
and dimension stuff. as lumber from
wood is manufactured, and subsequent
" fashioned in the workshop into such
forms and articles as are demanded by
purchasers. This material being free
from grit and tough in texture, can be
cut, sawed, bored. planed, and carved
with edged tools and before or after
such treatment can, after slipping and
glazing. be submitted to a second firing,
with Cue results in ornamentatiOn OBJ
tanned Kaolin is the upper STRAIT um of
fre-clay beds. and owing to the absence
of sand or free silica. is unsuited to
common pottery uses, as its warpage
in drying and firing units it for mould
+ ing purposes. This invention overcomes
this trouble, inasmuch rs the material
4 is reduced TO form with edged tools sub
( sequent to firing.

SMALLPOX AND VACCINATTON.-A a
physician in charge of the quarantine
hospital in New York asserts that vac
cinatiOn is not only preventive but
cure for smallpox. He says
speaking of vaccination, l cannot
concur with DR., Sayre, who recommends
vaccination every five years why not
seven p but from personal experience
and careful Investigation l am assured
that twice in a lifetme-ln infancy and
adOlescence-is sufficient If etfectually
done. But l go further than Dr. Sayre
in asserting that effecUual vaccination IS
not only preventive but cure Tor
smallpox. It was nv habit to vaccinate
my smallpox patients i'm the first stage
of the disease, when the pTemOnItOry
symptoms and even the first appearance
in the throat indicated the coming evil,
and it was gratifying to see vaccination
and smallpox developing simultaneous

former that a bad cSse Of smallpox was

of mankind. l say nothing new when L
repeat that the exclusion of light and

disease may be ever so much pitted in

How TO DISTINGUISH SNALLPOx-
When the passengers in a Third avenue
elevated railroad car yesterday caught
sight of the face of a man who got in at
Ninth street, some of them moved into
other cars, and all the others except one
went to the other end of the car and sat
close together there. The face of the
man who caused this cOmmOtiOn was
covered with big pimples. He would
have had the end Of the car to him self
but for another passenger who remained
close to him, and who looked for a mo-
ment at his disfguTed face and then re-
sumed the reading Of newspaper. The
other passengers looked at this compile
cUTiOusly. One of than signalled the
man with the newspaper, and he, too,
moved to the crowded end Of the coach.
THAT man you sat by appears to have
the smallpox, and l thought you might
like to know it, said the man who had
signalled TO the newspaper reader.
No, he HASN'T said the other. Il
had been looking at him when you beck
OneG. lie has got an acne-that's all.''
Are you a physician ,"
Il am surgeon"
''What IS acne ?''
"Acue is merely a cutaneous disease,
producing an eruption like what you see
on his face. Smallpox does not look
like that at all. 5"
"How does it look ?''
''WeH, whenever yOu see pimples de-
pressed In the center you may take that
as a sign of smallpox. Smallpox pus-
tules appear first on the face, then on
the neck aud hands, and afterward on
the body. At first they are the size and
have the solidity of small shot, but a
layman would not be able to judge Of
them until on and after the fourth day,
when they become depressed in the cen
ter and surrounded by circle of pink
that turns to dark crimson. These
pimples are often so thick that they run
together. There Is an odOr accompany
ing the disease that, once noticed, can
not be forgotten. ] am sorry 1 cannot
not tell you more, but l must get OF
here. =
The passengers were interested IN
what the surgeon said, and disappointed
when his short lecture was ended.-N,
