'Tis the last time, darling" he gently said,
As he kissed her lips, like cherries red,
While fond look shone in his eyes of brown
My OWNS the pretsiest girl in town;
Tomorrow the bell from the tower viii ring
A joyful peal. Was there ever king
30 truly blest on his royal throne.
AS shall be, when claim my own?''
Twas fond farewell; twas sweet good
bye;
But she watched him go, with troubled
sigh;
So into the basket, that swayed and swung
O'er the yawning abyss, he lightly sprung,
And the Joy of heart seemed turned to voc
As they lowered him into the depths below.
Her sweet young face, with its tresses brown,
Was the fairest face in the mining town.
Loi the morning came; but the marriage
bell,
High up in the tower, rang mourning lrneil
For the true heart buried meath earth and
stone,
Ear down in the heart of the mine-aIone.
Asorrow-peal on her wedding day,
For the breaking heart, and the heart Of
clay;
And the face that looked from her tresses
brown
Was the saddest face in the mining town.
Thus time rolled on in its weary way,
Until fftSyears with their shadows gray
Had darkened the light of her sweet eyes
glow,
And had turned the brown Of her hair to
snow.
OIL never kiss from husbands lips
Or the clasp of child S sweet finger-tips.
had lifted one moment the shadows brown
From the saddest heart in the mining town.
Far down in the depths of the mine one day.
In the loosened earththey were digging away
They discovered face, 80 young, SO fair
From the smiling lips to the bright-browr
hair
Untouched by the finger of times decay.
When they drew him up to the light of day,
The wondering people gathered round
To gaze at the man SO strangely found.
Then a woman sprang from among ths
crowd,
With her long white hair, and her slight form
bowed;
She silently knelt by the form of clay,
And kissed the lips that were cold and gray.
Then the sad old face, with its snowy hair,
his youthful bosom lay pillowed there.
He had found her at last--his waiting bride;
And the people buried them side by side.

HEALTH HINTS.

Eat lighly at supper, retire early and
eat hearty breakfast, if you would
keep clean tongue and good appe-
tite.-Dr. Foote's Health Monthzg.

For tight, hoarse cough, where
phlegm is not raised, or with difficulty,
take hot water often-as hot as can be
slipped. This will give immediate and
permanent relief Don't fail to try
this remedy because it is simple.
DR.. Denker, Of st. Petersburg, treats
diphtheria by first giving the patient
laxative. and when it's operation has
ceased he gives cold drinks acidulated
with hydrochloric acid and a gargle of
hme-water and hot milk in equal parts
every two hours. His method has been
very successful.
Careful cooking of even the longest
used and best known kinds of food,
whether animal or vegetable, is the i'm
portant rule TO insure health and
strength from the table. No matter
what the quality Of the food to begin
with may be, a bad cook will invariably
incur heavy doctors bills and a not
less inconsiderable "little account" at
the druggists.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A French paper says cit is re-
markable fact that there are no rats in
the islands Of the Pacific ocean. Re.
peated attempts have been made to
acclimatize the rodents there, as the
flesh is much esteemed by the natives
as an article Of food. But the attempts
thus far have failed, as they invariably
die of consumption"
Among the instruments at a recent
scientific meeting was one exhibited
by Sir E. Bramwell, employed for
asoertaining the velocity of trains and
the efficiency Of brakes. With this
apparatus it was found that train
weighing 125 tons ran five miles FIVE
yards after steam was shut off while
travelling at a speed of forty-ive
miles an hour. The line was level and
the day perfectly calm.
Sensations are transmitted to the
brain at arapidity Of about 180 feet
per second, or at one-ffth the rate of
sound; and this is nearly the same in
all individuals. The brain requires
one-tenth of a second to transmit its
orders 70 the nerves which preside over
voluntary motion; but this amount
varies much in different individuals,
and in the same individual at different
times, according to the disposition or
condition at the time, and is more
regular the more sustained the atten-
tiOn.
Experiments upon over four hundred
individuals of all classes, ages and oc-
cupations show how great is the divers
sity of opinion as to the size of objects
seen through the microscope. The OBJ
ject used in the experiments was a
common louise magnifed to a theoreti-
cal size of 466 inches. The majority
of observers underestimated this
value two estimates were
only one inch seven were over foot,
and one was at least five feet. New
students Of the microscope usually re-
ceive an impression somewhat larger
than the real value, and adhere to it
for a considerable time.
DR.. Mittendorf states that Ameri-
can students are less afflicted with
near-sightedness than German stu
dents. The affection is developed by
sedentary occupations and lack of ex-
ercise, women being therefore more
liable to contract it than men. 1t
usually appears in childhood, rarely
after the twenty-first year. Weak
glasses of slight blue tint should be
worn early to stay its progress, as
blindness often follows neglect of
treatment In his paper on this sub
ject DIR NJ. tells of fine horse in Ber-
lin which became intractable and was
found to be suffering from near
slghtedness, but was as docile as ever
after pair of glasses had been fitted
to its eyes.

ment of frozen persons was by a
gradual or a rapid application of heat.

Electrical Insects.

1t is not generally known that there
are insects which possess the peculiar
electrical properties of the raia torpedo
and gya,anotus electricus. Kirby and
Spence, in their Entomology, describe
the reduUius serratus commonly known
i'll the West Indies by the name of the
wheeling, as an insect which can com
muIicate an electric shock to the person
whose flesh it touches. The late Major

been communicated to the chronological
Society by Mr.. Yarrell one mentioned in
letter from Lady de Grey, of Grobz, in
which the shock was caused by beetle,
one Of the common eloteridae, and ex-

arm similar to an electric shock of such
force that he lost the use Of his arm fora
time, and his life was even considered in
danger by his medical attendant.

Minnie PaInser's Loyers.

There have been rum0rs that Minnie
Palmer had two rival suitors in the per-
sons of Graham, her leading support on
the stage, and III Rogers, her business
manager. She writes to the Chicago
NeaoS Letter as follows:
"Mr. Rogers never proposed for my hand
in his life, and | am quite SURF that such a
thing as marrying me never entered his head
He is gentleman far too much interested in
his business TO care about such triyialities
and / may as well frankly confess that it
would not do him any good as far as I am
concerned if he did. If it is one of his crank
ideas Of advertising, I'consider it in excessive
ly bad taste
Mr.. Rogers also puts in a denial, but
the Neaes Letter gives days and date, as
follows:
''Mr. Rogers has, as matter of fact, pro-
posed for Miss Palmer's hand upon three
different occasions, and been politely but
firmly refused an equal number of times. The
first proposition was made through Miss
Palmer's mother, last May; the second in New
York at the Morton house, in August, and
the third at the Grand hotel, Cincinnati, some
two or three weeks ago, in the presence of his
own sister and two lady members of his COM
pany.'
One thing is very sure Miss Palmer
will never have to affirm that she re-
iected the soldering idiot of the Pioneer
Press who interviewed her wearing ap-
parel. He proved himself SO assume that
no lady would tolerate him in her pres
ence second time.

smaller. The bearings should be gen
erous IN size, proper provision being
made for oiling without washing the
grit into the bearings with the oil, and
the ends of the bearings being protect
ed by some device which effectually
prevents the entrance of the grit. The
stone should be secured to the shaft by
nuts and washers, and the washers
fixed SO that they cannot turn with the
nuts as they are screwed up or un-
screwed. In hanging the stone, great
care should be taken to hang it true
side-wise, not only for convenience in
using, but because stone that is not
true sidewise can never be kept true
edgewise.

afternoon Session.

Counsel admitted there was discrepancy in
the evidence, as TO their putting Judge Cox to
bed with his boots On, in fact, the witness
undoubtedly referred to some other time,
and when he said window he meant door;
that because he got up next morning and
shaved himself, and held court next day is no

lucid account of his journey on the cars.

odor of alcohol that permeated the entire car;

Weymouth, counsel said there was rebutting
testimony enough to show that there was no
foot bridge, having been torn down some days
previous. Counsel dwelt heavily on the testl-

El0pement Fashions,

The fashions for girls who elops just
now are very plain. Some white drapery,
convenient window, long ladder,
dark night, o coach, minister and the
house Of friend, and the elopement is
over. IF the irate father, armed with
double-barreled coal shovel and town
constable, does not pursue, the affair is,
although picturesque, not exactly sue
cessful elopement If the father of the
bride relents within two days the foolish
couple are not happy. IF it leaks out
that the mother of the bride is in the
secret, much of the pleasure of the trip
is spoiled. IF both the father and mother
of the bride are in the secret of her going
away, and have actually left the ladder
near the window, and that fact is found
out, the elopement is a failure. In the
olden time the clipping bride packed all
her portable goods ON herself and went
away heavily laden. Now, as she is
shout to return in day Or two in her
lady friends dress, she goes away quite

Dramatic CtuJ Entertainment.

On Friday evening the st. Paul ORA

select, critical and appreciatlve. The
music, both vocal and instrumental, was
rendered in a most pleasing and delight

AMUSEMENT NOTES

Amusements in St. Paul the past weel
were neither SO numerous or attractiv
as those Immediately preceding, though
! far from lacking in interest. The popu
lar Vokes family occupied the OpeT,
House boards for the first three
nights of the week, giving "Cousin joe
and ''Belles of the Kitchen" Monday ant
Tuesday evenings, and "Fun in Fog
Wednesday evening, each representation
being greeted with audiences unit
standing room only" was the order
! which were most demonstrative in theil
expressions of satisfaction with the efforts
of the talented company.
Following the Vokes', came the repre-
sentative aesthetic, Oscar Wide, in his
household lecture English Renais-
sance,'' which was delivered to a good
sized audience.
Friday evening, the Opera house, Pr
fer's hall and the Town hall in the
Sixth ward were occupied by many
of Erin's sons and daughters
in musical and literary entertainments,
in celebration of St. Patrick's day. Each
of the entertainments were largely at
tended, while the exercises were both
entertaining and instructive.
For the coming She amusement attrac-
ton at the opera house, will be the re-
nowned and popular actress, Miss Fan
ny Davenport, For the three
last evenings of the week and Saturdays
matinee, when she will present in the
order named, "School for Scandal" GAS
You Like IT, "Camille,'' "London AS
surance," and Ruth, a Tramp" in the
delineatlon of the leading characters,
which she stands in the front rank of
of the profession. The fact
that Miss Davenport at the
close of the present season, goes to Eu-
rope for period of three years, thus
making this her last visit here until after
her return, at least, will serve to add to
the usual interest felt in her appearance,
and assures her audiences limited only
by the capacity of the house,
The next of the course of lectures being
given by Rev. Samuel G. Smith will be at
the opera house Tuesday evening next,
the subject chosen by the gifted speaker
being "Estheticism. The lecture is
for the benefit of the Woman's Christian
Home, which, with the reputation of the
speaker, and the interest that is likely to
be awakened by the announcement of his
subject, will undoubtedly operate to
bring out an audience that will fill the
opera house.
