ON THE BRIDGE.

II was young Robin and his love
stood on bridge at even song;
Nights countless lamps were lit above:
below, the straamlet slid along.
Across the rail she lightly leant,
And gs zad into the quiee stream,
Whei Elm she saw with deep content
The buried stars rejected CLEAN:
But never stars sfone half as bright
as Eisie's eyes that summer night.
A0uCd her taper waist an arm
Her gallant tiobin's-gently lay:
In place and hour there lurked a charm
hat owned no kinship to the day.
Familiar sounds upon the gale
We're softly waited TO the ear
And from the darkness of the vale
Inc love-Iorn maviS fiuted clear;
But sweeter than the song he sung,
The words thIt trembled on her tongue
The shadows deepen In the dell:
Weird bats athwart the water play:
And on the titful breezes swell
The village church-bells far away.
Through all the windings of the glade,
The stately trees like phantoms stand:
Whilst Love was leading man and maid
Far onward into fairyland:
and neither had on earth a part,
save only in the others heart! .s--.
Anon, from yonder wooded ridge,
The cold moon climbs the blue expanse,
she giorities the rustic bridge,
Her beams upon the brooklet dance;
She softly winds about the twain
a.. The radiance of her liquid light,
As though, for lovers, she would fain
Create fairer day from night.
Her silver signet-nothing 10th
She sets upon their plighted troth!

Something About Canoes.

"The onyx stone, on which the most
valuable canoes are cut. is found in
such plenty on the Uruguay River, in
| Brazil, that ships often take it for BAL
| last" said a cameo cutter. ''Some of
it has been found in Germany where
much of the cutting is done. The
market is flooded with cheap and i'm
perfect canoes, the work of apprer-
| tees, yet there is q fair demand for
new work at good prices, especially for
portraits. The art OF cameo-cutting ID
| very old and some of the specimens
OF Roman work done 1000 years ago
are exquisite in tracery and design.
They are produced by an extraordinary
| amount of labor, unaided by the mod
ern improvements in tools. Such work
was then done for monarchs or very.
wealthy persons, and a cutting requir-
ing year was q very common thing.
The same quality of work is now with
in the reach of persons of moderate
means. Three fair-looking cameo-cut-
tings, suitable for mounting as breast
pin and earrings may be bought for
SO. But cameo portraits cost from $50
to $3.50, according to size, and the
stone for the latter would be worth
about $40.
IA raised cutting on any stone IL
called cameo; when the device is sunk
it is called an intaglio. The onyx is pre-
ferred for canoes above all stones, be-
cause it comes in layers of two colors.
The combinations are black and white,
black and cream, red and white, and
dark brown, called the sardonyx. One
advantage of cameo portrait is that
it will last forever. The stone is 80
hard that it can be cut only with dia-
mond dust. The process of cutting
consists of holding the stone up to re-
volving drills whose soft steel ends are
covered with diamond dust. The ut
most Impotence and caution and deli
cate manipulation are required to grind
off the lower layer of stone. A mistake
is fatal to the work. No steel can be-
made hard enough to drill the onyx
Even crome steel will not do it, and
that is so hard that drill made from it
will cut through an ordinary file. No
acid will affect the onyx, and it will
stand the greatest heat of the furnace
if the heat be applied gradually, so as
to prevent cracking. Some cuttings
went through the great Bond street fire
and were found in the ruins I'M
harmed. IN y Mail.

The Zura Burns Murder.

+ hr5a ~ LINCOLN ILL.,, NOV. S,slt63,
The Circuit Court room was crowded to-
day by SOLICITORS audience as to ths out
come of the Carpenter preliminary hearing.
It has beena field day for the defense, who
have scored numerous strong points, and
by witnesses whose testimony cannot be
shaken BY any circunstantiaI evidence.
The sensational part OF the proceedings was
the appearance of Mrs. Mary Carpenter,
aged seyenty-four years, mother of the de-
PENDANT, on the witness stand. Her APP
pearance is that of q well preserved and re-
fined old lady and her account is particu-
larly marked with the striking vernacular
Of the average Bostunian.. Her voice is
trembling and during her examination was
listened to with breathless attention and q
most rigid cross-examination failed to
shake her testimony in any particular.
When leaving the witness stand she passed
by her son, took him by the hand, kissed
him and passed on, after which for several
minutes the prisoner sat with his face bur-
led in his hands and wept. She has never
seen her SON behind the bars and 1t was the
first meeting since his arrest. The testi-
mony will be concluded tomorrow fore

Shocking Domestic Tragedy.

INDEPENDENCE, No, Nov. 8.
The city of Independence was thrown
Into a great excitement to-day by most
horrible double murder and suicide. When
the children of Henry Clay MCGEE arrived
home from school they were Mortified to
find their mother lying dead on the floor,
with her breast full of buck-shot, and, on
entering the next room, they found their
sister, beautiful young lady OF about
twenty years, lying on the bed completely
riddled with shot. On search being insti-
tuted for the murderer, the father was
found upstairs, with an empty morphine
bottle lying beside him. ALI had the ap-
pearance Of being dead for several hours.

Why Honesty is Unknown in Tonqnin.

Few words are necessary regarding
the Anamite administration. The sys-
TEN is precisely that of the Chinese.
| Tonquin is divided into sixteen pro-
| vinces, seven of the first order, eight of
the second, one of the third, the latter
| two orders being attached to the first.
Each commune has mayor. Each lot
| of twenty or thirty communes forms a
sub-prefecture; six of these make pre-
lecture. governed by Tuanfu or pre-
| feet Provinces of the first class have
each three great Mandarins, similar to
those of China; the first is Tongdoe or
governor, theu second Bochink or trea-
surer, the third Ansat or Judge. Once
Tonquin had a Viceroy,. but latterly it
was found unwise to have officials of
such high rank and power permanently
there, and only an occasional Royal
Commissioner is sent, to report. The
titles Viceroy and Governor, represent
very different positions from those of
similar officers in China, where the
power wealth, and responsibilities of
the officers are considerable. In noun,
tain and plateau districts there are
tribes forming administrative divisions,
the office of Mandarin being held by a
Tassu, an aboriginal hereditary chief,
similar to those OF China. Tonquin has
copied from China, as indicated, it's
administrative system, and borrowed its
literature. religion, and manners; in.
fact, Tonqin is a copy of the level parts
of Eastern China. Nothing new, moth
ing original arrests the attention of the
stranger who has travelled in the Celes-.
tial Empire. The administration, though
admirable. fails here as in China, and
from the same reason, the main cause.
being the inadequacy of pay. Corrup-.
ton as fine art has been carried to
the highest limits. Whenyou learn the
scale of official salaries YOU will under
stand one reason why honesty is an
unknown quantity in Tonqnin, at least
among officials. The monthly pays
are: Governor 16s.; project, Is. 3d.;
private soldiers, Sd. Higher officials
have to maintain certain degree of
pomp. Their appointments are gained
on the Chinese competitive system. An
Anamese scholar is as conceited, prig-
gish. and ignorant of all useful knowl-
edge as his Chinese confrere. The
Anamite Mandarin has the reputation,
according to the French, of being
shrewd. cunning. cruel, and oppressive
to those beneath him, and of being SUBJ
servient to those above him, and, above
all, to understand the art d attendre. ]

Pastor Resigned-The following let.

Pastor Resigned The following let
ter from Washington and resolutions ac-
companying it we take from the columns of
the Baltimore Baptist. AS they relate to a
minister of the gospel well-kn0wn in our
county they will be read with interest
When Rev. J. l.. Lodge, d. d., a year ago
accepted the call of the North Baptist church,
of Washington, d. c., he did so at a great per-
sonal sacrifice. There were two other calls
before him at the same time, but he chose
this because he believed that with the in
viting field and the enthusiasm OF the church
manifested in the call, there was a splendid
success awaiting him. His plans were large,
including the early commencement of a new
house of worship, suitable to the elegant
surroundings Of the church. The hope kin
died within him has made him willing to
contribute, within one year, nearly five hun
dred dollars to his own support, besides what
he has given to other objects Of the church
lie has been enabled, through the goodness
OF God, 10 add to the church twcnty-thpe
new members, thirteen OF whom were bap
tiled. The size of the prayer meetings was
quadrupled, the regular Sabbath attendance
about doubled, and the financial condition
of the church was better than aver before
thoroughly convinced that because of GER
tain obstacles his hope of extensive useful
ness could never be realized and accord
ingly, on the 9th of October, he wrote his
resignation, to take effect Dec. proX. which,
being final, was accepted and the resolutions
appended passed. 1t is conceded, by his
regular hearers that to say the least Dr.
Lodge has no superior as theologian and
preacher in Washington. His reputation as
an author and contributor to various reli-
gious journals is known to your readers
many of whom are his warm, personal
friends. DIR. Lodges health has improved
since he came to Washington, and it is be-
lieved that God has guided him to decs
ion best for the servant, and that the Master
has great work for him to do upon some
other field. ID. $. +.
WHEREAS, Our beloved pastor, the Rev
James l.. Lodge, d. d., has formally re-
signed the pastorate of the North Baptist
Church, therefore, be il
Res0Ioed, That we hereby accept his resig-
nation, but in so doing desire to express and
record our appreciation of the rare talents,
intelligence, energy and devotion displayed
in the discharge of his duties, and also our
deep sense OF gratitude for the abundant
fruits that have been seen in the conversion
of souls, and the unprecedented additions
to the church, the increase in our congrega-
tons, and in the unusual record of its con-
tri5utions as the result of his labors among
us.
Resolved, That in any field upon which
he may enter, he will be followed by our
best wishes for his prosperity and happi-
ness, and our earnest prayers that the great
head OF the church may make him an ever
increasing blessing to the cause of Christ.
Res0tped, That these resolutions be en-
tered upon the minutes Of the church. and
that copy of them be handed to Brother
Lodge. d. 5. FOSTER,
