LOST. a BOY.


He went away from the old home hear rthston
Only six years ago,
4 laughing. frolicking fellow.
1t wo7ld do you good 70 know him.
Since then We have not seen him.
And we say. with nameless pain,
The boy that we knew and loved 30 well
We shall neyer rec again.
One bearing the name we gave gave him.
Comes home to us to-day.
But this is net the dear fellow
We kissed and sent AWAY.
Tall as the man he calls father.
With mans look on bis face,
Il be who takes by the hearthstone
The lost boys olden place.
We miss the laugh that made music
Wherever the lost boy went,
This man has q smile most WinsOma.
His eyes nave grave intent;
We know he 10 thinking and planning
Bis wax IN the world of men.
And we cannot help but love him,
Though We long for our boy again.
We are proud Of this manly fellow
Who comes to take his place,
With hiats of the vanished boy hood
In his earnest, thoughtful face;
And yet mes back the longing
For the boy we must henceforth miss
Whom we sent away from the heerthston0

1t is curious to compare this command
of this dying lady of Vassali race
whether it was an act of arrogance or of
humility-with the standardization of q
Virginia dame of the same period, who
directed the burial of her body beneath
that portion of the church occupied by
the poor, as he had despised them in life
and wished them to trample upon her
when dead. Historians have dwelt too
much, I think, upon the differences in
social life between the different colonies
and too little on the points of likeness.
Let us consider. by way of illustration,
the way of living on the Narragansett
shore of Rhode Island and see how
closely it resembled that of Virginia.

Indiana Elections.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 4.-The
returns from the municipal elections
throughout Indiana show that in
many instances strictly political diff
ferences were not the only issue, and
in some instances politics did not
figure in the result at all. At Rich
mond an alliance of Democrats and
disaffected Republicans led by ex-
Mayor Bennett, Republican, was
utterly routed by the regular Repub-
Ilican organization, only one Demo-
cratic Councilman being elected. AT
Greencastle similar combination re-
suited in the election of the Demo-
cratic Republican ticket, but one
Councilman being saved from the
wreck. In Shelbyville a similar
scheme worked ruin to the regular
Republican ticket. The Lafayette
election hinged to some extent upon
the recent Islander suit, which agita-
ted the town for months, and the
Democrats were ViStorious, for the
first time in several years. The DEM
ocrats elected their ticket entire in
Vincennes, but wherever the Repub,
licans maintained their organization
intact and made the fightupon strict
ly party grounds they were generally
successful, and in some cases substan-
tial gains were scored. Especially
was this the case at Terre Haute,
where last fall the Democrats carried,
everything by 600 majority. This
time they got only the clerk. The
result was the same of Elkhart,
Frankfort, Brazil and Greenfield,
where a combination of Greenback-
ers, Democrats and dissatisfied Re-
publicans existed. The drift of the
elections in a political way is regard
ed as decidedly in favor of the Re-
publicans.

Look Out for Paris Green Potatoes.

DR.. J. lack Taylor, of Oxford, Tai
bot county, Maryland, contributes
the following: He says he has writ
ten this article for the whole press,
and trusts all will give such harm
less formula space for the benefit of
their patrons.
"The time has arrived to warn the
whole people against buying Irish
potatoes, thatare green in color, either
for planting or eating purposes. Ex-
anime your potatoes, and if you find
dark or green spots thrust your fin
ger-nail into it and remove part of
the skin or peel and you will find the
potato is green. This is caused by
thu use Of Paris green and other prep
arations of arsenic upon the vines to
kill the potato bug, Writes cores
re '1dent 20 the Boston Waterman /:
The great bulk of green potatoes are
evidently poisonous and not fit to be
eaten by man or BEAST And further,
a man might as we'll say that exter-
nal applications cannot effect the in
ternal organs of the body, as to say
Paris green applied to vines cannot
and will not effect the roots.' OF
course said he "a certain percentage
of the article is appropriated by at.
mospheric changes but it must not
be forgotten that the earth is great
absorbent, and from repeated appli-
cations scores of times during the
growing season, enough would be
taken into the soil to produce the
baneful effects described.' How shall
we get rid of these poisonous pota-
toes? Don't buy them either as food
or as seed. How shall we prevent
the using of Paris green and other
arsenicaI compounds upon potato
vines? Legisiate against it, What
shall we use as substitute for Paris
green and other deadly preparations
to kill the potato bug? L think the
following is sovereign remedy, be-
sides it is good fertilizer to both the
plant and the soil: Unslaked lime,
l peck; water, 10 gallons; mix and
stir until Stacked, then add 10 pounds
sulphur; set this on the fire and let
it boil an hour orso, then remove from
the fire. This is called liquid sui
phide of lime, which will kill rose
bugs, peach-bores and other parasites.
Next take 10 pounds snuff refuse
found at the factories), or 10 pounds
tobacco refuse (snuff dust preferred),
and pour 10 gallons boiling water
upon 1t and let it stand half day.
Then mix the sulphur lime mixture
with the snuff dust mixture together.
set on the fire and let it come to a
boil stirring the mixture. sprinkle as
much as is necessary and as often as
necessary on the vines containing the
potato bug, and the result will be
gratifying indeed. Persons with
small patches of potatoes need only
make portion of this mixture at a
time"

Body Found.

The body OF Jacob +. Gregg, who
was drowned in the Savage river
April 9th, last, was found near where
he was drowned, on Saturday last.
A coroner's jury was empaneled by
Esquire Marchus M. Fazenbaker,
acting as Coroner, with VIM. Moody,
Esq, as foreman. Several witnesses
were examined, who detailed the
manner of his drowning and the
finding of the body. The jury re-
turned verdict, "that the said Jacob
E. Gregg came to his death whilst
engaged in his occupation of driving
logs in the waters of the Savage river,
accidentally, casually and by misfor-
tune, and that neither the Lochiel
Lumber Company nor Messrs. Clark
d Arnold, his employers. were in
any manner accountable or response

Nature has come to life again, cloth

the consequent prospect of the inau-
guration of strike in the iron mills
at the west on the first of June, was
not unexpected by persons who have
watched the course of events. New
ertheless the formal announcement
OF the disagreement has caused great
excitement and in all quarters of the
city TO day it has been the most alb
sorbing topic of conversation. Rep
resentatives of both sides profess to be
very finn, and plainly consider a
strike imment, although the officers
of the Amalgamated association will
not admit this.
Manufacturers talk with consider
able freedom. One, who is among
the most prominent in the city, said
this morning.: at has not been
stated before, but it is. nevertheless
true that the Amalgamated associa-
ton in addition to refusing to ac-
cept any reduction in wages, insist
that number of changes shall
be made in present rates. Among
them is the adoption of a scale Of
wages for mill engineers without re-
gard to their ability. This means an
advance in many mills. Another
item is that thay demand an advance
of 81 per ton for making that class of
iron used in the manufacture of car
aXleS and similar articles. The work.
men seem to be entirely blind to their
interest in this respect. They seem
to forget that the reduction of 1874
per cent recently accepted by the steel
workers of the west enables steel
manufacturers to compete with man.
ufacturers of the higher grade of iron,
and that every pound of steel that is
used for new purpose lessons the
demand for iron in the same proper
ton. In fact [ know of several persons
now engaged in the manufacture Of
iron who are seriously considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of changing their
plants so as to manufacture soft steel.
If strike takes place and promises
to be long drawn out, this policy is
certain to be adopted, and will throw
many iron workers out of employ
ment. There is only one way by
which suspension of work can be
averted that is for the Amalgama-
! ted Association to accept a reduction.
The manufacturers will make no
| further OVertures for a settlement.
We will meet the Workmen as often
as they want US between this and the
first of June, but if there is another
conference it must be at their re-
quest"

The Panama Canal.

Said Mr.. Appleton, the American
agent for De Lesseps. protector of the
Panama canal, to Boston Herald re-
porter: you will find to-day on the
American Isthmus, along the line OF
railroad which follows much the d.
rection of the canal, except some ten
miles on the Pacific end, continu-
Gus series of houses for the officers
and white employees, while it is dot
ted everywhere with the palm
matched huts for the natives and
the Jamaica negroes, who constitute
the bulk of the workmen. Some
5000 or 5000 of them are now at
work. They begin to work at o'clock
in the morning, which is about sun.
rise, or the cool of the morning, and
knock Off at II A. NJ, when they
have two hours for a midday meal
and siesta, and again take up their
work at 1 P. NJ, laboring until 6
O'clock in the evening.
1.-THE principal attack is at Mount
CuIebra, the highest point on the
Isthmus, little over 800 feet above
the level of the sea, and some fifteen
miles from Panama. Mr.. Albert Mil.
let, an American citizen of French
parentage,. has the contract for re-
moving 100000 cubic meters from
the top of the hill. For this he will
soon have in operation ten or twenty
excavators built in the United States.
"At the entrance of the canal new
town is being built. A mile or two
from the mouth some 1000 men are
at work building houses and work
shops, and, in fact, everything neces-
sary for new port of entry. For
this they are filling in the accessible
marsh land with earth taken from
Monkey Hill, two miles in its inte-
rior.
1.-THE canal company is now spend
ing not far from 100000 in salaries
and wages a month. Another $780,
900 month is spent in the offices OF
the company in Paris and New York I,
and in the purchase of machinery and
material in different sections of En-
rope and America. The more you
look into the canal and study it in all
its relations, the more you realize
what great enterprise it is"
"What is your estimate of the prob
able expense of construction and the
time it will take to complete the un-
dertaking?"
II do not hesitate to say that it is
of little Importance if it should cost
$500, 100000, and take twenty years to
build it, for it is for all time and for
all nations"

case OF murder. Even the prisoner
does not deny having murdered the
boy. Saturday night it was the gen
