Ereluht Blockade Exnected.

st. Louis, October 16.-Some appre-

yield to the demands of the strikers or
to compromise with them. They are
bringing men in from the country to
fill the striking mems places. The
strikers are now holding a secret meet

human prudence would least have chosen,
but which was most for the advancement
of Christ's kingdom. The believers in
these places where they had labored were
exposed to peculiar dangers. They had
all the native proneness to sin which
belongs 10 man everywhere, and besides
were many of them just rescued from
superstition and idolatry; and more than
this, all were subject to the opposition, so
bitter, which always came from the jew.
ish leaders. Under these circumstances,
how mnch they needed confirming and
streng gthening. The main endeavor OF this
return journey seems 10 have been to
build up, and organize, and encourage
those who had before believed. The work
was hence more of private work, in
which they did not address the multitudes
so much as assemble with believers; and
on this account we do not read that they
encountered special opposition.
Another important item in this work
was the permanent organization Of socie-
ties, or churches. in these places where
they had before labored. The ordination
of elders was very Important; since it
would be necessary that there be some
who should act as rulers and leaders in
these yet unframed companies of Chris
t ians. All the work of this missionary

THE TWO SOWERS.

Death came to the ca rth by his side was spring
They came from Gods own bowers,
And the earth was full of their wandering.
For they both were sowing flowers.
~ SOW" said spring. "by the stream and wood,
Aud the village children know
The gay, glad time OF my own sweet prime.
And where my blossoms grow.
81 There is not spot in the quiet wood
But hath heard the sound of my feet,
And the vioets come from their solitude
When my tears have made them sweet"
II SOW" said death, where the hamlet stands
SOW ia the churchyard drear;

My flowers from year to year.
The young and the old go unto their rost-
To the sleep that ava its them below:
But clasp the children unto my breast,
And kiss them before 60"
:" sow," said spring, " but my flowers decay
When the year turns weak and old,
When the breath of the bleak wind wears them AVA
And they wther and drop In the mold.
But they come again when the young earth feels
The new blood eep in her veins.
When the fountain of wonderful life unaeas,
And the earth is alive with the rains"
J." SOW" said death. /" but my flowers unseen
Pass away from the land of men,
Nor sghs nor tears through the long sad years
Ever bring back their bloom again.
but know they wondrous br light and fair
In the fields of their high abode;
Your flowers are flowers that child may wear,
But mine are the blossoms of God"

The two came from Gods own bowers
One sowed in night and the other in light.

LARKIN MEAD'S GREATEST WORK
Probably the most colossal statue yet Or
dered for the states has Just been finished
in the plaster form by an American sculp-
tor at Florence, Mr.. Larkin &. Mead,
There are but two in America that can
even be compared with it, Greenough's
Washington and his group of civilization
which adorn the capitol in Washington.
Some idea of it may be obtained by a short
description. The subject is the Mississippi
river, a large recumbent statue, not unlike
in treatment to the Nile group in Rome.
The figure is represented leaning against
a cluster of rocks whence spring the source
of the Father of Waters, while as sup
port to the other arm is a broken paddle
wheel caught in snag, n not uncommon
sight on that mighty river. AT the base
are represented in bas-relief the various
objects characteristic of the stream during
its long course, stern wheeler and side
wheeler; sugar cane and crocodile, and
its mineral wealth in the representation of
lead mine, while negroes are seen load
ing and unloading bales of cotton and
tobacco and sugar cane; crystals, too, are
not forgotten while the giant right foot
rests on ledge of limestone, and in the
right hand stalks Of that great product of
the Mississippi valley, Indian corn, are
held, one mature, the other in the shock
A wreath composed of tobacco and cotton
crowns the head of tho colossus, while a
fishing net is careIessly thrown across the
base. The plinth or pedestal is II feet in
length, and the weight of the marble no
less than "A tons. This is to be presented
to the city of New York by Mr.. Elliott F.
Shepard, New York lawyer, son-in-law
of Mr.. w. Fl. Vanderbilt.-FrOm the

Johnson's island, three miles from San
dusky, in Lake Erie, was the principal
military prison for rebel officers during
the war. The old forts and graveyard
are fallen into decay, but there still
remain the ruins of two block houses and
two or three wooden structures once used
az quarters. The old earthworks may
still be traced, and the spaces noted that
once were occupied by magazines or
frowning cannon. In the burial place set
apart for the prisoners lie entombed near
ly 800 confederate dead. The graves are
neglected, the headboards fallen or gone,
and the lettering upon those remaining
almost obliterated. Two graves are
marked by marble headstones, but from
one Of them the iron chains and posts that
once surrounded it have been taken away.
Grass and weeds overspread the spot, the
fences are broken down, and a growth of
shrubbery and young trees cover thickly
the last resting-place of the captives. A
movement is now on foot 10 put the
ground in presentable condition, and per.
haps on the day sacred to the union dead,
to scatter few blossoms in memory OF
tho ill-starred southerners whose bones lie
mouldering under the tangled grasses.

FLoRIDA'S MAKE UP.-An unexpected
and novel proposition to divide Florida is
under discussion in that state. The gull
coast progress says that the child OF to.
day may witness the consummation of the
projected division before attaining his
aiority. 1t says: "Recent events point
unmistakably to the fact that South Fori
da has no rights which the northern part
of the state is bound to respect. We have
been despoled of our lands to satisfy the
insatiate thirst of the greedy cormorants of
the northern and middle portions of the
state, and if we would save the remnant
of our heritage from the hands of the
despoler. we should be up and doing"
The FIoidian defends the northern part
of the state against the charge of want of
respect for the rights of Southern Florida
going into details on several points. 1t
also opposes the proposed division,
declaring that it would be monstrous. 1t
ingenously gives reasons why there can
never be harmony between the several
parts of the state, but does not consider
that sufficient reason for separation. The
following passage will be read with inter-
est. "The intirmity, as it were, of Florida
is her geographical malformation. Terri
torially she is fearfully and wonderfully
made so to speak. She would not have
been so curiously constructed but fer the
circumstance that when the boundaries of
Georgia and Alabama were determined
the area of Florida did not belong to the
United States, and hence the lines of
Alabama could not run down to the
waters edge to obtain the port of Pensa-
cola, nor those of Georgia to possess the
fair land of Middle Florida with its gulf
harbors-a coast outlet naturally belong
ing to those two states, and which they
would doubtless have possessed, and the
peninsula alone have constituted Florida.
So Florida territory became a common
wealth of the union in the same form as
that acquired from Spain, and here we are
now, Jaw hardly shaped but quite determined
to stick together and hold on to what we
have, though it is 800 miles aronnd the
elbow, and has more land than the six
New England states have, and is so
arranged that it is quite out of the question
that there will ever be union of interests
or entire mutuality of commercial inter-
course and consequently political har-
mony. Atlantic, eastern and northern
connections pull one way, and gulf south
ern and western the other way. One
section is jealous of another, for each has
what another can't have, and each wants
of all. We cannot all be
satisfied even US TO the location of the
capital, as a geographical center is a
problem that deiies solution by any
measurement of this boot, shaped domain.
Wherever the capital might be it would
be too far Off from some part of the state"

PETRoLEUM.-In its original state
petroleum has murkv green color, ant
it needs refining before it is fit fol
Illuminating purposes. 1t is distilled In
pans, with great furnaces blazing beneath
them; and as the vapors arise from the
blazing liquid, they are conveyed into pipe:
surrounded by water, in which they are
condensed The first vapors condense
into paptha, and those produced by longer
heating give the burning oil. About five
per cent. of the crude oil put into the pans
or stills remain in the form of tar, which
by another course of treatment, is
converted into paralline and coke.
After distillation the refined oil is no
longer green but is as transparent as
spring water, and beautifully tinged with
puppies and blues. 1t is not ready for use
however. and has yet to be washed. The
idea of washing oil may seem absnrd, but
it is quite practicable. The fluid is
emptied into a large circular tank, in
which it is treated with acids, which are
poured in and mixed with it by a
powerful air pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shaken up it is
allowed TO settle, and the acids then
separate from it, and sink to the bottom of
the tank, taking with them some of the tar
that remained in the oil.
The acids are then removed, and the oil
is washed with salt water. which is mixed
with it and agitated. Suffocating fumes
come up from the tank, and the more
they are shaken out Of the oil the safer it
is. for they are the explosive part of it,
Finally, it is bleached, and it is then
ready for the shops.
