UNION OF BLUE AND oRAY.



Especially sasgssssd By the recent visis Of Gov
srnor BissIos and the Connecticut companies
TO Charleston, South Carolina.l
The Blue 4 marching South once more,
With scrried steel and ststely tread,
Their n,sFtial music psalsd before,
Their Dag Of stars flashed overhead.
All! NOT through storm and stress they come,
The thundefs ef old hate are dumb,
And frank ~ clear 0ctsbsr's ray
This mcsting of the Blus and Gray.
A Ph@nix from her outworn hres,
Her CORY ashes, rising free,
Fair Charleston with her stainless spires
CLEANS BY the siiver-strandsd sea.
No hurtling hail nor hostiie ball
Breaks through the treacherous battle pAii; I;
True vf ies speak from hearts e. true,
fosSss2 esl dtsd twi1s Gray and Biss.
Grim Sumter, like Titan MANNED,
Sill glooms beyond his shattered keep;
But where his bolts Of lightning famed
There broods 4 quiet, mild a. sleep;
HE granite base, long cleansed Of blood,
IL eircied BY . golden food,
Type Of that peace whose sacred sway
Enfoids the Blue, exaits the Gray.
The sea.tides family ri,e afar,
And-wings Of all the breeres failed
Seem slowly borne DER beach and bar,
Dream. murmurings from spirit world.
Through throbbing drum and bugie. trill
The distant calm seems deeper still
Deep as that faith whose cordial dew
Hath soothed the Gray and charmed the Blue.
Der Ashley's breast the Autumn smiles,
An mellowed In her hazy fold.
While the white arms Of iangud isles
Arc girdled by ETHEREAL gold.
All Nature whispers: War L. DER,
fierce feuds have fied our sea and shore.
Old wrongs forget, old ties renew.
o heroes Of the Gray and Blue
The Southern Palm and Northern Pine
No longer clash through leaf and bough;
Tranquilitics Of depth benign
Have bound their blending foliage nov.
Serene they shine in sun.iit noon,
Or, tranctd by cloudless star and moon,
Their equal shadows softly play
Above the Blue, across the Gray.

"a thorough scholar" says Colonel
Monteagle, with dignity. "a musician,
linguist, thorough Hebrew student,
and proficient in Latin and Greek.
myself was her instructor. 1t is not
singular that girl Of such intellectual
power should marry we'll"
But Colonel Monteagle, honest man,
never dreamed that it was the sewing
machine and soft soap, the mayonnaise
dressing and the vehement struggle to
get free from debt, which conquered
Mr.. Crofton's heart. There are plenty
Of scholars and poetesses in the world
but real womanly woman-is not her
price far above rubies9

p0-"So that's the Grand Jury, is itl"
asked the man from the suburbs, after
scanning the forms and features Of the
twenty-four individuals in the box-one
man with unkempt sandy locks, another
with an aroma Of sentimental seediness
brooding over him, third with look
Of benign vacuity irradiating his counte-
nance, and the others indicating differ
ent stages Of wretchedness and misery.
"Well, sir, il you've got any common,
everyday jurymen around about here, l
guess don't care to look at them"

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Real Work to Regin, and h Ditch
to be Dug in Six Years.

Real Work to Besin, and the Ditch
to be Dug in Six Years.
The first real work on tho Panama canal
will begin in November. H. H. Slaven,
the druggist of this city, says the San Fran
cisco Report, NJ. A. Slaven, his brother,
and P. Huerne, have the contract for
dredging seven miles of the canal, between
Colon and Gatun. This contract calls for
the excavation Of 60, 900 900 cubic metres
of material, the amount received from
which work will be about So, 900, 900. They
are building q dredging boat, to cost near
ly S100, 900. 1t has a string of buckets
working on an endless belt, which dig up
and carry material over banks 40 feet high.
The cost of exoayating ia lese than ons cent
per cubic yard, and the capacity of the
dredger is about 5000 cubic yards per
day. Once the boat is at Colon, work will
be begun on the canal. The route to Gatun
runs through a swamp, which has already
been cleared of trees, and such stumps as
remain will be pulled up by the stump
puller on the boat. A canal 100 feet wide
and eight feet deep will be the first dug
from Colon to Gatun, in order to give the
canal company water communication to
that point, and when that is completed the
dredgers will proceed to excavate the re-
naming 65 feet in width. and will then
dredge the canal to the requisite depth of
so feet. This work, it is estimated, will
be performed in one year and q half. Mr..
Slaven says the reports of disease and uu-
healthy climate are greatly overestimated.
