The WANDERER.
BY HELENA MODJEsKA.

Upon mountains height far from the sea,
found a shell,
and to my curious ear this lonely thing
Ever song Of ocean seemed to sing
Ever tale of ocean seemed to tell
How came this shell upon the mountain height?
Alb, who can say
whether there dropped by some too careless hand
whether there cast when oceans swept the land
Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day?
Strange, was it not? far from its native sea
One song it sang
Sang Of the mighty mysteries of the tide
sang OF the awful, vast, profound and wide
Softly with echoes Of the ocean rang.
And, as the shell upon the mountains height
Sings of the sea,
80 do ever leagues and leagues away
80 do ever, wandering where I may,
Sing, my home-sing, my home, Of thee
.... -DenUey Tribune.

Emma Abbott's Story.
MAN About Town, New York Star

TNIan About Town, New York Starr
"The chief difference between Homer
and Emma Abbott, apart from sex, +"
''said Jack Gilbert, the baritone, to me
this afternoon, 9" is that seven cities
claimed Homer, while clever little Emma
claims seven cities as her birthplace.
At Peoria, ILL.,, last winter, Miss Abbott
appeared before the curtain and recited
the story of her birth and early struggles
N Peoria, and named several persons in
fhe audience who had befriended her in
her girlhood days. The recital brought
down the house. She repeated the
story at Burlington, Iowa; Sioux City,
Iowa; Atkinson, Kansas, and several
oher little cities, and it invariably cap
tiyated her hearers. Miss Abbott is a
shrewd business woman.

The HerCulean Gar,
IFrom Albert Wolf in De Figaro.


The emperor alone stands up; the
metropolitan still kneels before his mai
esty and the empress:-upon the twelve
steps of the estrada the kneeIing priests
form double line which stretches away
beyond even to the holy gate. Domin-
ating the whole assembly the car stands
bearing all the insignia of empire; near
him is the imperial standard. I cannot
even attempt to give my readers an idea
of the real grandeur of the movement,
and the image of awful power which the
whole figure Of his majesty symbolizes.
I may well say that this power actually
terrifies; for to us, men of another civil
Izatiop and more modern institutions,
such enormous power concentrated in
the hands OF any one man, whether the
czar or another, must appear even more
terrific than astounding. It must also
be observed that the czar's stature well
BELTS his right to appear as the incarna-
ton OF human might. He is very tall;
his shoulders are huge; his features re-
call those Of the Emperor Paul whose
portrait saw at Kremlin; the expression
OF his face is energetic without harsh
ness; his blonde -deeplylblonde-
and blue eyes give much gentleness to
the countenance, and alternate the
strong materialism of the general aspect
of the sovereign, who is the very image
OF force. The emperor is considered one
OF the strongest men in all his vast en-
plre;-hls is q truly herculean nature,
which repeats with mirthful ease the
great deeds Of the strongest knights of
horseshoe in his sinewy
hands or breaking coin between his
hands with as much facility as though it
were a fragment of glass.

MEAT PRESERVES,

Prof. Johnson of Yale College finds
that the antiseptic known to the trade as
" Rex Mangus'' is by far the best and
indeed the "only preparation" that is
effective in preserving fresh meats for
domestic purposes. Some of the meats,
duly washed or prepared, have hung in
his laboratory for month or more and
were found to be well preserved and
fresh. At q dinner in which a party of
twenty gentlemen took part, articles
preserved for sixteen days could not be
distinguished from those taken from the
refrigerator of the hotel. The value of
this statement would depend good deal
upon the hotel, for some refrigerators
contain meats that taste quite sixteen
days old, but there can be no doubt in
this case that the experiment was fairly
tried. This preparation is destined to
be Of great value in Jour export trade
since it is evident that cream, oysters
and fresh meats can be shipped without
the use Of ice, which will be a great
saving, particularly so since there is no
deterioration such as follows the use Of
saltpeter and other antiseptics.

THE NATIONAL, MUSEUM.

The National Museum at Washington
is the best example in this country OF
the practical application of electricity.
In go large building it was found ad-
visable to take advantage of the best
means Of communication, first being it's
system Of telephones and call bells by
which those IN any room can communi-
cate with every room in the building.
Twenty six telephones are connected by
a local telephone exchange which in
turn is connected with the main tele-
phone office of the city. The result is
that but three messengers are needed in
this vast establishment. The photo
graphic laboratory is independent of the
sun owing to the electric light there
used If oneof the $50 windows OF. 23O
doors is opened, bell rings and an
electric annunciator shows to the at
tendant at the main Office which window
or door it is. This system is soon to be
applied to every case of specimens.
The watchmen at night. also, are kept to
their posts by hourly releasing an cleo
trlc current at certain stations which
pierces dial and records his visit. The
sixteen clock dials are likewise run by
electric currents.

EX-SENATOR KELLOGG.
Not Indicted---Presented.
Spacial TO The lnter-Ocean.

special tc The mter-Ocean.
Washington, April 1-Ex Senator
Kellogg has not been indicted as h,s
been reported. The statement has
been circulated probably owing to- a
misunderstanding Of the practice in
this district. which is believed to be
absolute elsewhere, having heen aboI
ished one hundred years ago i'll Eng
lsnd- This practice provides, first,
the grand jury shall present the name
of a person whom it is proposed to in
diet to the court upon the theory that
the consent Of the court was aecessa-
ry before an Indictment could he
found. After the presentment it is
the duty Of the prosecuting attorney
to draw the Indictment and lay it be-
fore the grand jury, when a vote is
taken upon it. Sometimes after a
presentment has been made, the
grand jury fails to return the indict-
ment, hence no arrest is made, and
constq qcently no arraignment for
pleading and fixing bail follows the
presentment. Kellogg has simply
been presented. 1t is curious fea-
ture of the presentment that the re-
cord is falsi6ed as to date in order
to bring the case within the statute
of Limitation. The date of the occur
rences which are alleged to have been
in pursuance Of corrupt conspiracy,
namely, the giving Of the so-called
Price drafts, was in 1879. The Price
drafts are still in existence and there
is no dispute as to the date of the
iransa ction. Still ths presentment
makes the year 1880 instead of 1879.
AS yet the government counsel have
given no explanation Of the discrep-
ancy. They must know, however,
that such an Indictment, if found,
will have to be quashed for obvious
! reasons.

Washington, April 4.-The President

CLOCK for Florida. He will be accompanied
by secretary Chandler, Mr. Miller. of New
York, and private secretary Phillips. A

sonville, and make as few stops as possi-
bic. From Jacksonville thew will proceed
up the St Johns river as far as Sanford. -
They expect to be absent from this city
about two weeks, The length Of their stay
will. however, mainly depend upon the
weather. 1t has not yet been finally deter
mined whether or not the party will TO
turn direct to this city. 1t is likely. how
ever, that short visit will be made to
several of the principal cities on the route.
The President has made no plans for any
subsequent trip.

The Secret of Success.

If you want to succeed in life, you
must roll up your sleeves and 20 to
work, and keep at it. 1t is only by
constant application and persistent
efforts that greatness is achieved in
any Of the professions, or in the
sciences and arts.
The successful business man is an
earnest worker. He does not play.
or daily, but is alert, Industrious
full of vim and energy.
1t is only the worker, who tolls
with we'll derected aim who is ne
cessity to society, prop, pillar, as
well as an ornament. The common
laborer or the delving scientist, the
studious statesmen or the busy me-
chanic measures each his success by
the amount of his work.
Our people need to learn that work
docs not cease beyond the cotton
field or the trades. If our young men
would rise in the professions they
must do it by toll and application to
their duties.
The Doctor establishes himself only
by diat of hard study and dutiful
attention to each and every depart
ment of his calling 1t is thus that
he at last merits patronage, and the
sick and ailing then turn to him as
naturally as the thirsty seek the
spring.
So in all other vocatlons, it is the
men who best understand their busi-
ness, who succeed, and who are real
ly needed.
Looking over the present condi-
tion Of the people we see that progress
calls for work. Work is needed to
give us more enlightened ministry,
better teachers, docto.s, lawyers and
men Of all callings. Let our young
men come to the front and build
themselves up with the country by
hard and honest work. Go at the
trades This field is open and wait
ing. Let it be entered by the youth
Hard work in every trade and bust
ness and profession is necessary to
the future prosperity Of the sunny
South land.

COUNTING THE CASH.
A. COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO
ExAMINE THE CASH IN THE
United STATES STREASURY.
Eoloer insists on a Count, the Last
Overhauling Occurring Ten !
A Years Ago g.

Overhauling Occurring Ten
- Years Ago A--
Washington, April 1.-Tbe com
mittee appointed to examine the
cash in the United States Treasury
and the accounts Of the late Treas
urer, began work after the close OF
business on Saturday by making q
count of Teller's cash, so that there
need be no interference with busi-
ness Of the office. The reserved
vault was also sealed up, preparato-
ry to taking an inventory OF its con-
tents as turned over by Mr.. Gilfillan.
It is thought that the count will oe-
cupy two or three weeks. There has
not been a thorough overhauling of
the Treasurer's Office for ten years,
the last full examination being the
one made during Treasurer Spin
ner's time.
When Mr.. Spinner turned over
the Office to Treasurer New, the lat
ter was willing to accept the cash
and accounts without examination,
and his bondsmen also being willing,
the Secretary of the Treasury dis
pensed with the examination. The
same thing occurred when Treasurer
Wyman succeeded New, and when
Gilfllan succeeded Wyman. The
latter has expressed his willingness
to forego an examination on the
present occasion, but the Secretary
thinks that SO long time has in
tervened since the last count, that
one should now be made. The COM
mittee will be assited in the work by
force of twenty or thirty clerks,
detailed from offices other than the
Ireasurer's office.
The count will be made of old
notes in the redemption division,
new notes il the reserve vault, and
silver and gold and bonds held in
trust
President Upton, of the commit
tee, has decided that an actual count
must be made in all cases. Packages
of notes will be opened and count
ed, as will also be bags cf gold ard
silver coin. He will personally as
sumo charge of the work of compar-
ing the cash on hand with the Treas
urer's accounts and with the &C.
counts of disbursing officers.

viii not hold water. They insist not ol.ly
that proof to sustain tie allegation is lack
ing, but also that prosecution tor the Al
legged offense is barred by the statute Of
limitations.
The government counsel on the other
hand maintain with equal confidence that
the indictments are sufficient in every way
to bring the parties to trial. One of their
views is that as the postal drafts which it il
alleged passed between the parties covered
a period Of four years, the offense may
technically be held to have continued for
that time,

Rich Enough.

The sudden and voluntary retirement of
William H. Vanderbilt from the manage
ment of the great railroad properties in
which the fortunes Of the entire Vanderbilt
family have so long been supposed to be
bound up, has naturally given rise to much
conjecture as to the underlying causes of
what on its face would appear to be very
precipitate action, and az usual the pub
lie are disposed to accept any other
reason than the one offered by Mr. Van
derbilt himself as the true explanation
of the riddle. Wall Street, which, if
somewhat given to drawing rash conclu-
sions, is nevertheless the most skilful
interpreter Of the meaning of such sur
prises, Immediately inferred that the Van
derbilts had disposed of their stock as well
as relinquished their personal interest in
the control of these roads, and its opinion
of what the effect of such a withdrawal
would be was promptly registered by de-
NlliAc III llC uiaiktl. I1OlQerS OF new 4 DIX
Central stock FASTENED to dispose of it, and
on the day following the announcement of
the event no less than $1,000 shares changed
hands. Despite Mr.. VanderbiIt's public
statement that he had not withdrawn his
financial support from the road, the belief
was general that in anticipation of the
Improbable competition which would nee
essarily be forced upon his system of roads
by the completion of the parallel line now
in course Of construction on the west shore
of the Hudson, he had chosen an opportune
moment to realize On his properties
and make an advantageous change of in
vestments. Whether or not that was really
the motive of his retirement the future
course of the stock market will doubtless
reveal, but meanwhile his action may be
reasonably accounted for ON other grounds.
