TIE SOWER'S SONG.

Now hands to seed-sheet boys.
We step and we cast old Times on wing
And would We partake of harvest joys,
The corn must be sown in spring.
Fall gently and still, good corn,
Lie warm IN thy earthly bed.
And stand so yellow some morn
That beast and man may be LED.
Old Earth is pleasure to see
In sunshiny cloak of red and green
The furrow lies fresh; this year will be
AS the years that are past have been.
Fall gently and still, etc.
Old Mother, receive this corn,
The seed of six thousand golden sires;
All these on thy kindly breast were born;
One more thy poor child requires.
Fall gently and still, etc.
Now steady and sure again,
And measure of stroke and step we keep
Thus up and thus down we cast our grain;
Sow well, and you gladly reap.
Fall gently and still, etc.

THE NCANDESCENT LEWIS HIGHT.

form of this-knOWn as the Lewis burner-ln
which common cOal-gas is substituted Tor
petroleum vapOr, has been successfully tried
In London. The apparatus Is an application
of what is known to scientific mel as Hera-
paths blOw-pipe. An air pipe which ends IN a
tapered cone enters a small space or chamber
Of the gas.supply near the burner and little
below it is a short arm which supplies sup
plementarv air current. Through this tapered
cone air is forced under a pressure OF in. or
Tin. of water. The mixture OF gas and air
thus produced is carried into the burner,
which is cage of platinum wire, about three
times as long as 1t is wide. When the gas Is
hrst lighted il is a roaring, Pickering flame,
with no appreclable Illuminating power; but
soon the platinum gauZe becomes hot, and III
few seconds the burner presents the appear
ance OF a glowing pillar of solid light possessing
intense 6rilliancy. The combustion of the gas

platinum game, which becomes lncaadescent
just as the carbon threads in the electric lamps

Possibly the feature of greatest importance
IN connection with this new system is that
illuminating gas is not required, for heating
gas answers as well, if not better. In ordinary
gas, II Is well known that only about four per
cent OF the volume contains the real illuminat-
ing materials, bat to obtain that the coal has to
be wastefully distilled. IL heating gas, as it
Is called. will produce SO brilliant light,

ordinary coal instead of only $1,000 feet The
waste in smoke-and the surface of the gauze
being SO much larger than is possible with
the electric lamps, there is greater quantity
and less intensity lin other words, the light is
Deter distributed and is more penetrating,
While less trying TO the eye.

Mission to Central Africa was held IN London
on June % The mission was set on foot III
1880. at the nstigation of DR.. Livingstone, and
looks chiefly to the Universities for its supply
of clergy. AT the present time 1t has three
great centres of operation-Zanzibar the
f-sambara country north of Zanzibar, and tie
Rovuma district-and altogether about 1000
natives are now under its care. The mission
has turned the old slave market in Zanzibar
into a centre of Christian teaching, and
church. mission house and school now occupy a
spot where 10000 slaves were annually sold.
during 1881, $50 released slaves were re-
ceived and placed under instruction, with
view of restoring them to their country as
Christians On the mainland chain of sta
tions from the sea coast 10 Lake Nyassa has
been formed along the chief slave routes one
of which is a village of 200 persons VINO nave

The New Anchor-Liner

The last creation of this line, the Arkansas
City, which has already arrived at the pro-
portions of the monarch of Western waters,
arrived at this port at late hour last night,
and will be found at the wharfboat this
morning. Like all the others of this line,
she was built at Jacksonville, where there
seems o be a standing order 10 build a boat
as soon as one is destroyed. The dimensions
of the Arkansas CITY are as follows, as
we get them from the St. Louis Republican:
Length, 2734 feet; beam, 449 feet; depth of
Hold, feet inches, and registers 1886 tons,
but will carry fully 100 TONS She draws
but 8 feet inches forward, and only feet
9 inches at the deepest place. Her battery
OF boilers numbers i've, made OF 26-l0O inch
steel of 10000 tensile strength, each one be-
ing Al inches in diameter aud 80 feet long,
and allowed l65 pounds steam. There is
also a Niger boiler, II feet long and Sc
inches in diameter. The cylinders are 26
inches in diameter and 8 feet stroke. The
cabin is q splendid and beautiful one, con-
tanning 40 state-rooms, all of which for
ward the gsngwag are furnished with
hunks, and quite an ornament IN the
shape OF magnificent marble-top wash
stand, 10 which is attached large mir
roF. Then come g rooms aft, each OF
which has TWO single bedsteads with
lace curtain and ! m II. quins, and still
further b4ck q Ioous en- suite that are fur
nished gorgeousIy, with large double bed
stead, fire washstsnds, and a wardrobe with
mirror in door. Then comes the ladies'
cabin furniture, which consists of % pieces,
finished in grand style. The large mirror
which adorns the ladies' cabin is made bey-
elIed, and presents a fine appearance. In
fact, everything about the cabin is OF the
latest style and pattern, and presents an APP
pearance excelled by none. The texas is
large and roomy, and has bureau for col
ored passengers fitted up in perfect COM
pleteness. An eye has been looked to for the
comfort of the crew, whose apartments are
all that could be asked for. The bar, which
is forward, is of large size and elegantly FUR
nished and contains a. an ornament vase
covering an achor made of shells, 10 which is
added the initials J. G. p, those of ]. G.

The New York Commercial Bulletin of Sat-
urday thus Histories the past weeks impress
sIons: "The great mass Of operators continue
under state OF much perplexity, with very
lew willing 10 operate at all until, in their
judgment, the calculation of coming events
commences to develop more clearly. Almost
the entire business OF the present week has
been confined 10 changing about contracts
from one month to another and back again,
as the tone nigh vary, and a great deal of
this was simply a broken manipulation in
order to keep up little showing OF steam
and have things ready for a new art, should
it commence. August has weakened and the
la er months stiffened. but the leading oper-
ators appeared ind 'fferent, though daily in
close con-ultation in a manner 10 lead those
who were watching them TO expect something
wonderful. They do not as yet appear ready
to act, however, and the small dealer has no
one 10 lead. On to-day's market there was
an unsettled feeling, with the average adj
vantage in buyers favor, though the gain
could not be retained, and sellers recov-
cred les; ground before the close. The
most decided weakness was on August,
Tor which the opening supply OF notices
Troved liberal and carried break of some
points, with the other months slightly in
sympathy, though not offered with much
freedom. 1t was, however, found that the
notices were being quite sharply stopped,
especially when they reached shippers, and
wittSrumors about some trouble in regard 10
the handing and delivery OF cotton there
was a reaction on prices which about re-
covered the entire early loss. The embar-
rassmeni in regard 10 the h andling OF cotton
rendered on contract subsequently proved to
be more fact than rumor, and took such
shape as TO suggest the latest novelty in the
colnering of the supply of licensed samplers
to hinder August deliveries. That such a
movement has been attempted there is 30
doubt, but its success has yet TO be deter
mined"

without change TO the close, the quotations
