For the EVENING LIGHT
An ApOstrOphy t" the Ocean.

BY JOHN H. MoSRR.
Roll on thou deep blue Ocean-roll,
Let thy pillows roar from shore to shore;
Twas mighty God that gave the birth,
And power and strength in endless girth;
Fit emblem of Makers claim,
To greatness, sublimity and domain.
Roll on thou dark blue sea-unroll
Thy power and strength in every wave,
No mortal dares to thee dictate,
For in thy jaws he sees his fate;
Just as the sinner his God must fear,
When called to judgment, trembles to appear.
Roll on thou Great Ocean let thy murmurs
sing
The praises Of God our gracious King!
Hearing the winds drive the wild winds apart,
l sigh for thy wispers to sooth my aching
heart
As the loud noises against rocks rebound
That bring forth an echo from every sound.
Roll on thou proud Ocean How dazzling is
thy glory!
How grand are thy waves that so silverly
foam!
Gazing, think, and remember my story,
Thou scene of my birth, my own native home.
Roll on then, thou mighty and deep Ocean
roll,
Until time is no more, and thy fate is untold.
Written Galveston, May I6, 1882.

Cairo, June SIN consequence of the pro-
test Of the British government against the
military preparations in Egypt, the sultan tele-
graphed to the khedive to request Arab

Ochiltree on Willis.

"Did you see the bitter attack made on you
by X. S. Willis, and do you think he would
support you if you ran ?"
''Oh, don't lose any sleep about that. He
is crank on money. 1t almost paralyzed
him to see Mr.. Vanderbilt treat me corteously
last summer at Saratoga, and lately when
John Mackay invited me to great dinner
here, given to distinguished senators and rep
resentatives, it almost broke his heart Cf he
had any). Now, either of these men, (who
are both my friends) have daily income that
is more than all Willis is worth. He never
had an idea beyond money. Oh. no, he could
forgive me for being the friend of General
Grant, of President Arthur, of Edwin Booth,
of John Mccullough, of Senator Jones, of
Senator Bayard, of hundreds of leading law
years, itteratuers, artists, savants, ETC., but to
think that Vanderbilt and Mackay, the two
richest men in all the world, took me TO their
homes, me, fellow that really didn't own a
kit of mackerel or a hogshead of sugar, or a
box of soap, or key of nails, was too much;
so he tore his hair and rent his clothes, and
put sackcloth and ashes upon his limbs there
at Well, will defy him and his little narrow
minded set, and disappoint him by doing
more for the material interests of Galveston
than he has ever done or ever will do. Good
evening, have an engagement with the Swe-
dish minister about settling colony of Nor
wegians in Ochitree county, up in the Pan

The morality of the students in the "Latin
Quarter of Paris has not always been above
reproach, but it seems some things shock
even their sense of propriety. Perhaps their
demonstrations against certain of their neigh
bors have arisen quite as much from spirit
of lawlessness as from a sense of outraged
virtue. But that as it may, the youth who
frequent certain well-known public resorts
made up their minds not very long ago that
some of the men whom they were in the habit
Of meeting there were mo better than they
would be-" Thereupon they proceeded to
''clean them out" The first victim of the
crusade was the proprietor of ballroom, out
of whose premises the students drove the as
sembled rowdies. These gentry took refuge
in wine shops and other dives, from most of
which the self-constituted officers of the law
elected them only with considerable destruc-
ton of property. One establishment was
completely sacked. Afterward the students,
to prove that their grudge was not against the
propretors of the wine-shops aforesaid, but
against the roughs who frequented it, took up
a subscription to satisfy the damages, and, as
there was a considerable surplus, turned that
over to public relief fund. The righteous
students in their indignation against sin appear
not to have had any fault to find with the
character of the women who haunt the Latin
Quarter.

THE WOOL MARKET.

The regular weekly wool circular of
Walter Brown & Co., Boston, for the
week ending September 30th, says the
general condition of the wool market
remains practically unchanged, the on
ly change worthy of note having been
in the increased demand and larger
amount of sales of domestic fieeces, the
sales of which show an increase of 49,
200 pounds over those Of the previous
week. This better demand for fieeces
is owing probably 10 the reduction OF
the stocks in the Hsarket of the desirable
unwashed and territorial wOols, which
have been selling very freely during this
season, and have for the past two sea
Sons, being relatively cheaper, been
used in the place of fleece wool. One
of the marked features of the wool
market this year has been the
absence of any speculative feeling; man.
ufaclurers come into market 0ftener and
buy, and if there has been no particular
ly nctive market at any one time, the
demand has been steady, prices even and
more wool sold than up TO the cores
ponding time of last year. While man
ulacturers continue this policy il IL like
ly that with tho exception of general
in values. the condition of
the wool market will remain noninally
unchanged, unless something unfOre-
seen should occur 10 iBjuriOusly affect
the business situation. The demand
continues good ON almost all grades, the
Delaine and fine cOmbing still meeting
with the most attention, the amount Of
their sales being limited Ia the supply.
report steady prices for good wool, and
in England for desirable grades prices
are considered somewhat stronger than
reported.

4 rIMELY CRITLCLsM.

AichisOn Champion: The railroads,
II seems to us, make u grave mistake in
not furnishing To the press, Mt once, fun
particulars of accidents resulting in loss
of life or injury 1" persons. On Mon
day evening, for instance, II serious ac-
cident occurred on the A. T. ~ =. +. road
Mt a point nine mics west of Hutchinson.
The Associate Press agent at that point
sent brief account of il, but
was unable TO furnish particulars, or
the names of those injured or killed. As
a consequence, number of persons
called at this office the next day, in anx-
ious distress. because they feared that
relatives or friends were on the trains
that collided. 1t appears TO be the poll
cy OF the railroads, whenever an acct
dent occurs at an out-of-the-way place,
to suppress all details concerning it.
The consequence is that the papers pub
lish all the rumors they get hold of, and
very often these are grossly cxaggera-
ted. The sensible thing for the railroad
officials to do would be to furnish the
press with full and accurate account
of the accident and list of all persons
hurt. This would save themselves and
everybody else trouble, and would espe-
clally prevent anxiety and distress of
mind in the case of many persons who
fear the worst concerning relatives and
friends who have escaped injury or were
not, as expected, on the trains involved
in tho accident

The report of the medical officer of
the large district in London known as
North East London "r Hackney, re-
Gently published, gives some interest
ing particulars concerning The pOpula-
ton and health of the great city. Il ap-
pears that whOoping cough is fertile
cause of mOrtalItY; nO', as 1t is explained
because it is dangerous in itself, but
from carelessness, or want uf knowledge
in treating it. The report states that
the presence of an epidemic of one or
even more diseases does not exercise so
large an influence on the deaih-ra in
London as the continuance of excessive
cold or heat, or the frequent occurrence
of fog for few weeks. All factories
which emit noXious vapOrs or smells
have been banished from this district,
and an effort appears to have been made
by the sanitary authorities to minimize
as much as possible the dangers to life
that are inevitable in large city. The
low death-rate of some parts of London
as compared with many other cities, is
accounted for by the immigration of
persons between fifteen and thirty five
years Ofage, between which periods of
life comparatively few people die.

Atchison Champion: According to
rule No. 40 of the Santa Fe regulations
for the guidance of employees, conduc-
tors are held responsible for the proper
position ofswitchcs after they have used

duclor must see that the switches are
properly set themselves, and not trust II
to a brakeman or anybody else. On the
Central Branch road conductors are re-
Quired to lock and unlock the switches
themselves, and violation of this rule
renders the delinquent liable To be dis
charged If the conductor ON the San

that train men frequently ask citizens TO
