A New Branch of Industry.
New FORK Evening Post.


A new branch of industry has been
suddenly developed on the other side
of the Alleghanies. 1t appears, accord
ing to the vigilant correspondents of
the Times at Erie, Pa, and Milwaukee,
Wis, that the British government has
been for a long time solicitous to buy
up and destroy all the existing accounts
of the bad. conduct OF George Nv.
while he was prince regent, and espe-
cially book, entitled t:Memoirs of
George IY.,'' of which two or three
copies are supposed to be still in exist
ence. Fifteen hundreds pounds ster-
ling is said to be offered by the chan
cel1or of the exchequer for each copy
of this volume extant. 1t is believed
that the policy of the government is
not to make great noise about it,
which would naturally lead holders of
the book to stand out for higher prices,
but to carry on sa still hunt" Thus it

The American Limburg.


Green county, Wisconsin, is the Amer
lean Limburg and the adopted home of
of the Limburger. In that county there
are forty-eight Limburger cheese fac
tories, using nearly 100000 pounds of
milk daily, the produce of 1856 COWS,
and making 21,1S3 pounds of cheese
each day. Sixty thousand pounds of
milk is also used in twenty Swiss cheese
factories, which make $500 pounds of
cheese. There are also seven Ameri-
can cheese factories, using $500 cows
and 10000 pounds of milk and making
daily $500 pounds of cheese. 1t is
a hopeful indication for the cheese man
ufacture that other localities are begin
ming to compete in this fancy cheese
business, for we have no doubt when
the taste for these kinds of cheese is
awakened there will be very general
and extensive demand for them.

THE FRONT GATE IN OCTOBER

This Is the front gate. The shivering
moonlight played
Upon its twisted hinges, and the gaunt
Night wind creeps wailing through the bars
Where erst the spooning lovers chung and
With long three-ply kiss that made the
house-dog howl.
Now all deserted, with broken catch,
1t trails and scoops furrow in the path,
And hoarsely screams unto the screaming
wind.
Alas! what transient things are human
A little season Of short nights and perfumed
airs
And gentle moonlight; then Euroclydon
Comes bowling from the sea; romance Is
GER,
And to the stuffy parlor we adjourn,
And mindful Of the arras, sit apart
And wistful list the wailing of the gate.

A Colored Samson.
Charlotte Journal-Observer.

ShhEIotte OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
One of the cases before the mayor yes
terday morning of more than ordinary
interest was that of Rufus Reed, colored,
who was charged with an ARRAY with
Sells little elephant, and the facts
brought out at the trial proved that the
fight between the elephant and the man
was severe one, and furthermore, that
the man whipped the elephant. Reed,
who is tall, muscular colored man,
had been giving the elephant a few ap-
pies, handing it all except one, which
he put in his vest pocket. While his at
tention was turned the elephant reached
out his trunk, and getting hold of Ru-
fus' pocket, tried to pull the apple out.
tearing the vest nearly off before the
wearer's attention was turned to the
elephants prank.
Selling the elephant trunk ("snoot"
Reed called it) he tried to wrench his
vest and the apple away from it, but the
elephant drew his trunk from Reeds
hands, and swinging it around, gave
Reed terrible blow on the side of the
head. Reed drew back and felled the
elephant to the ground with a blow of
his fist, delivered over the eye. The
elephants keeper then attacked Reed,
aud Reed knocked him down. In the
meantime the elephant had regained its
legs and gave Reed another blow on the
side: Reed was now thoroughly ex-
asperated, and actually knocked the
elephant over on its back, and then left
the tent. AS the elephant had left the
city and could not appear in court yes
terday, the mayor took Reeds state
ment and let him off lightly, feeling
that the elephant deserved the flogging.
Reed is powerfully built man, and is
something of giant in proportions.
He is the same who had the fight with
the bear, in which the bear was killed,
at Lowell, some month ago. His fight
with the elephant was witnessed BY a
number of our citizens.

THE HIGHT OF THE TIDE.
BY REV. FRANK W. aUNsAuLUs.

Oh
This is the hight of the risen tide.
Who knows II billow shall ever ride
To such hight and write Its name
To tell its tale on the ear Of fame,
In a ripple Of sand
Which bounded the land
And fronted the scar
Who knows If the soul which marked as it's
own 3ssJZ
A shore unforeseen, silent, unknown,
In Plato in Greece or Caesar in Rome
Shall rise again with such lofty swell
And leave on the beach its fresh farewell,
In ripple Of sand
Which bindeth the land
And fronteth the sea?
We know that the ocean hath olden grown,
And that erewhile there rose such waves I'm.
known.
As are not now. Its reign Is DER,
But the soul is young and it hath no shore
Where ripple of sand
Fer bindeth the land
Or fronteth the sea.

the book was net published in the Lon
don Times, bnt in an obscure corner of
a newspaper published at Erie-so OBJ
scure, in fact, that it was not noticed at
,, the time of its first publication, but was
fdiscovered accidentally in a bound vol
ume of the newspaper files by some
person. hunting down tax sale in the
advertising columns. The discovery OF
the advertisement resulted in the find
ing of copy of the book itself on the
top shelf of a dust-laden bookcase be-
longing to retired merchant in the
city of Erie-showing that the chan
cellor of the exchequer knew what he
was about when he advertised in an
Erie newspaper instead of the London
Times.
The news of this lucky find spread
rapidly, and led to extensive search in
old libraries, bookstalls, lnmber rooms,
and trunk rooms, far and near. For
tune rewarded the labors of Mr.. Edward
Seibert, of Milwaukee, who found
among his own effects copy of the vol
ume, brought to this country by his
father fifty years ago. The Milwaukee
copy is said to be much better pre-
served than the Erie copy. AS both
contain indisputable proof that George
". was privately married to an obscure
girl before he was publicly married to
Queen Caroline, and that a child was
born of this union, whose empower
ished descendant" ought to be wearing
the English crown, instead of the pres
ent possessor of that bauble, the anxiety
of the usurpers can be readily under
stood. 1t is stated that Seibsrt intends
not to claim the f1,500, but to "open
negotiations with the British govern
ment."
Doubtless other copies of this disturb
ing volume will be found, and it would
not astonish us if the new turn given to
American industry should have de-
pressing effect on the labors of the
wronged heirs who are trying to force
the Bank of England to disgorge the
sum of 100000, which has accu-
mulated in its vaults as the result of a
deposit made by order of the court of
chancery in the suit of Smith against
Tompkins half century ago. Viewed
as matter of public interest the dis
coveries of Seibert and of the retired
merchant of Erie eclipse the possible
gains of the heirs of Smith by as much
as the possession of the crown of Great
Britain transcends the distribution of
500, ZOO, 900 among the rightful owners.
If Siebert is the man we take him to
be, we can tell the Chancellor of the
Exchequer that he will never get pos
session of the book for f1500. The
opening of negotiations by Siebert is
only preliminary step on his part to
opening negotiations with the other
side. The Impoverished descendant
will have fair chance to bid, and how
ever impoverished he may be, he will
not be without friends to advance the
money for him. Meanwhile, the search
should be vigorously prosecuted. Ru-
NOR has it that a third copy of the vol
ume was secured by the British govern
ment at Louisville, Ky, some time ago,
on private terms. Probably mean
advantage was taken of the seller, as
there was no great stir about the mat
ter until the beginning Of the present
week. We caution all finders of the
volume not to part with it for the pal
try sum of 91500. 1t is worth great
deal more money.

Had and Would.

The colloquial use of the same con-
traction I'd for had and l Would has
been extended imperceptibly into writ
ing and printing, with results that
threaten to supersede lCould altogether
and to replace it most improperly by
had. Some of our ablest writer's have
fallen into this inelegancy, or allowed
their printers to do so--among others
Mr.. Thackeray, who says in the "Vir-
ginians,' Il had rather have lost an
arm" instead of al lO0uld rather have
lost an ARM" and Mr.. Carlyle, who
has " A doom for Quashee (the negro)
which had rather not contemplate"
instead of "aUOuld rather not" In
stances of this unnecessary corruption
of the word are to be found so far back
as the days of Shakespeare, and a cent
ury later in the usually well-written
and classical pages of the Idttler and
Spectator. When had is followed by the
word better, as in the phrase you had
better, it is an improper substitute for
would, though "you had better do SO
and so" has the small advantage Of
being more laconic than the synonymous
phrase: "H WOuld be better if you did
so and So" When had is followed by
.
haze, its use is still more ungrammatical.
Thus, when the Times, March II, 1879,
says: "Sir Wilfrid Lawson had better
haze kept to his original proposal, " it
means that ''Sir Wilirid Lawson aoould
haze done better to keep, or to have
kept, to his original proposal" So also
the Spectator, March 2, 1879, when it
wrote: "The motion had better be with
drawn" was guilty of permissible col
loquialism, but was grammatically in
correct, and should have written 1T
lOould be better if the motion were with
drawn" In like manner the Examiner
fell into the prevalent carelessness when
it wrote, March 2, 1879: IF the Uni
versity of London after an existence of
forty years, can not produce a compe-
tent man, it had better cease to exist"

Il TAP AT THE DOOR.

A hand tapped at my door, low down, low
] opened it and saw two eyes of brown,
Two lips of cherry red,
little curly head,
bOnny fairy sprite, in dress of white,
Who said. with lifted face: Papa, good
night"
She climbed upon my knee, and kneeling
Lisped softly, solcmnly. her little prayer;
Her meeting finger-tps,
Her pure, sweet baby-lips,
Carried my soul with hers half unaware,
Into some clearer and diviner air.
! tried to lift again. but all In vgin,
OF scientific thought the subtlfe Gain;
So small, so small,
- My learning all:
My child's 'our Father" bridged the gulf of
space.
] sat with folded hands, at rest, at rest,
Turning this solemn thought within my
breast:
How faith would fade
If God had made
No children i'm this world-no baby age
Only the prudent man or thoughtful sage;
Only the woman wise; no little arms
To clasp around our neck; no baby charms,
No loving care,
No snless prayer,
No thrill of lisping song, no pattering feet,
No infant heart against our heart to beat.
Then If tiny hand low down, low down,
Tap ut thy heart or door, ah do not frown:
Bend low to meet
The little feet
To clasp the clinging hand; the child will be
Nearer to Heaven than thee nearer than
thee.

ne referred briefly to the story he had
heard.
"And you knew this" was his one
reproach. "You knew, and you reared
me to believe him the noblest of men,
most basely betrayed by the woman he
loved
The stern old face, haggard with suf-
fering, lit with defiant blaze.
And it was true. She lured him
away first; if she had not treated him
cruelty he would never have turned to
that Florine. He never cared for her as
he cared for La June. She was the
guilty one; she led him. directly or in
directly. to his doom, to his death. Oh,
Launt, don't quarrel with me because
hate her for it."
She stretched out two trembling, i'm
ploring hands.
what is it you intend to doP' she
asked.
Repair the wrong have done, gain
Dana's forgiveness if / can. Pray for
it, grandmother. 1t depends upon her
whether you ever see me again"

IngersOI or the Tariff.

Agricultural countries produce great
wealth but are never rich. To get rich it
is necessary to mix thought with labor.
To raise the raw material is question
of strength; to manufacture, to put in
beautiful and useful forms, is question
of mind. There is a vast difference be-
tween the value of, say a milestone and
statue, and yet the labor expended in
getting the raw material is about the
same. The point, after all,is this: First,
we must have revenue; second, shall we
get it by direct taxation, or shall we tax
imports, and at the same time protect
American labor? The party that advo-
Gates reasonable protection will succeed.
