REVISITED.

In the silent hours of the midnight
When the drowsy world was still;
While the golden beams OF the starli hit
Rested upon tue hill;
! stood where the moonbeams qulver,
As the musical waters dow,
on the banks Of that sleeping river
Where we parted years ago.
remember the tall trees shadows
Made darker the rivers side,
AS ii wound through the hazel meadows
Like a silvery ribbon wide;
And thought OF those days of gladness
When we wandered long ago,
With never thought of sadness,
Where the musical waters riow.
Days that were free from trouble
And clear as bright June sky,
Yet transient as airy bubble
That kisses the shore 10 die.
Thus love with the years forever
Far out of our lives will nee,
While the waves of this same old river,
Drift on and out TO the sea-

the debates in the United States Senate,
the Overwhelming argument" in favor
of the bill retiring army officers at the
age of sixty-four, that successful wars
the world over have been fought by the
young and middle-aged." Won Moltke
was only sixty-six when he began the
campaign of Sadowa. in 1866, and not
above seventy-one when, in 1901, he
captured Paris, after having annihllat9d
two entire armies in short campaign
of less than year.

If you think it right TO differ from
the times, and to make stand for any
valuable point of morals, do it, however
rustic, however antiquated 1t may ap-

own in his bosom, and did not wait till
it was breathed into him by the breath

Alleged attempt ut Murder.

Yesterday about two O'Clock some angry
words were passed between Mr.. Kinahan,
proprietor Of Kinahans restaurant and a
coIored man named Jackson, cook at Hords
Hotel. When Kinahan, who was intoxicated,
took up a revolver and fired at Jack
son, fortunately missing him. Mr.. kinahan
was arrested and brought before Mayor

charging firearms, and the case was contin-
ued till Thursday.
Mr.. Kinahan tells us that he can give nc
account Of the affair, being non compus-mentis
at the time; but he bears no ill-wll towards
Mr. Jackson and is anxious it should be
known that there is no cause or intent on his
part to DO him injury.

Original in His Dress.

versing upon the important subject of
dress as they stood in a theater lobby
last evening. "Well," said one, 81
don't like to wear what every body else
does. want to be original, or else
wear nothing at ALL" One who over.
heard this speech had the curiosity to
take an inventory of the speakers
wardrobe. which resulted as follows
Item, a calico shirt, with bulldogs
heads on it as large as five-cent pieces
item, yellow and brown plaid ulster,
with scarlet and blue handkerchief
sticking out of the breast-pocket; item,
black necktie, with red spots on it
like traces of recent nasal hemor-
rhage; item, stripped light trousers,
so tight as to give the impression that
the wearer must have skinned his leg
to get into them; item, very pointed
shoes, with buff tors; item, a hat,
with low crown and a broad, rakish,
Quaker sort of brim. Evidently the
youth had been successful in his efforts
to appear original, and perhaps even
this garb might be better than none at
all, which he declared was his alte1ns
tive.

Preserving Meat.

There is no good reason why farmer S
and their families should eat so much
salt pork, leaving all the fresh meat TO
the inhabitants of cities and villages.
when the following method will keep
meat fresh for weeks even in the warm.
est weather. have tried it for sew
eral years.
AS soon as the animal heat is out #
the meat, slice it up for cooking. Pre-
pare large jar by scalding it we'll with
hot water and salt. Mix salt and pulvar.
lied saltpetre. Cover the bottom of
the jar with sprinkle of salt and pep

continue in this manner until the lar
is full. Fold cloth or towel, and wet
it in strong salt aud water in which a
little of the saltpetre is dissolved.
Press the cloth closely over the meat
and set in a cool place. Be sure and
press the cloth in tightly as each LAYER
is removed, and your meat will keep for
months.

fresh meat all the year round. have

Coal Mining with Lime.

London Globe
At last there appears a possibility
that the terrible loss which annually
occurs in these isles through mining
accidents will soon be sensibly reduced.
at the present meeting of the Iron
ard Steel Institute Mr.. MoSley read a
long and instructive paper on a new
method of winning coal. The princi-
pal feature is that cartridges containing
lime in a highly caustic condition are
employed instead of explosives. After
one OF these has been rammed down
tightly TO the bottom Of the shot-hole
and "tamped," water is injected into
the cartridge 10y means of a small
force-pump and hose, and a rapid gen.
GRAFTON OF steam then takes place,
gradually rending the coal asunder in
all directions, and, in short, performing
all the duties of gunpowder or dyna-
mite 1t is too early as yet to say
whether this process will prove appli-
cable in all cases. When lately tried
ut the Shipley collieries it more than
answered expectations, having worked
14O tons more coal in 100 hours less
time than the wedge method did in the
next 'stall." Commercially. therefore.
Its success seems to be demonstrated
under the conditions which exist at
Shipley pits. 1t is further claimed for
this invention, apparently on good
grounds, that it gives absolute immu-
nifty from gas explosion, AS no Ere or
fame Is generated; that it does not
create any smoke OF noxious odOr;
that unskilled labor can W rk it, and
