Mould upon the ceiling,

Spiders in the corners,
Spiders on the shelves,
Weaving frail and endless webs
Back upon themselves.
Weaving ever weaving,
Weaving in the gloom,
Till the dropping drapery
Trails about the loom,

Gather in the dark,
Where a breath has brushed away
Dust from of q mark.
Dust of weary winters,
Dust of solemn years,
Dust that deepens in the silence,

Window bars and wall,
Covering Infinite devices
With its stealthy fall.

Break, and group again,
Wreathing, writhing, gibbering
Round that fearful stain;
Blood upon the panels,
Blood upon the floor,
Blood, that battles wear aud washing,
Red forevermore.

When the bat that clings,

See, they pause and listen,
Listen through the air;
How the eager life has struggled
That was taken there.

Signing through the room.

Signing on the floor,
Signing through the windowbaIs

The FAMOUS mo. y,
TURNS UP IN NEW YORK AS A CLIENT OF GEN.
ROGER A, PRYOR,


ROGER A. PRYOR.
NEW YoRK-The Herald, of Monday, says
that Mr.. P. J. Sheridan, Mr.. John Walsh
and other gentlemen whose names have 81
late been prominently identified with an
alleged determination upon the part OF the
British government for their extradition,
were relegated to the rear yesterday, and
Mr.. Patrick J. P. lyman, the heretofore
10 ysterious and thoroughly uncomfortable
mo. l" CT the recent literature in conuec.
ton with the PhehiL Park murders, came
to the 'front.' For months Mr.. lyman has
been regarded, if not as q myth, certainly as
one whoss existence was problematical.
That Mr.. Tynan-If there were such per-
son-was IN America was generally conceded.
But the man who had actually laid eyes
upon him in the flesh was not to be found.
1t was asserted that the only delay in the
arrest of Messrs. Sheridan and Walsh arose
from the desire upon the part OF the British
authorities 10 first put Mr.. lyman under
lock and key. But that gentleman was not
forthcoming.
Mr.. lyman, however, has at length emerged
from the gloom and obscurity in which he
has heretofore been hidden. True he has
not rs yet manifested himself as real exist
ing entity, but the evidences Of his existence
are much stronger than those which "Sairey
Camp" could produce of the existence Of
her favorite authority. The following CORE
spondence, which passed yesterday, would
seem to shed some light upon Mr.. lyman:

A CATOIINA CAVE,
Remarkable Discovery by Convicts in
the MILESTONE Mountains.

Last week the convicts excavatlng
tunnel in the MILESTONE mountains, ,on
the line of the Ducktown branch of
the North Carolina railroad twenty
two miles west of Webster, N. c.,
broke, which gave a hollow sound, and
found themselves in an immence cav
ern in the limestone of the vast noun
tain.
A party, composed mainly Of visi
tors from Northern States, has gone
from this place to see the cave. The
most exaggerated reports as to its ex-
tent and beauty are brought here, and
it is asserted that the cave has the
beauty of the famous Luray caves,
with much greater size. 1t has been
long thought that great caverns ex-
listed in this range of mountains with
its limestone formation. Not great
distance from here, and in one of the
branches of the range, is Bald noun
tain, from whence proceed at times
strange noises and rumblings whose
volcanic origin is believed in by many.
But the cause of these noises, which
has been discussed, is simply the fall
ing of enormous masses of the lime
stone rock from the roof of the mighty
caverns TO their floors. Suhterranean
streams flow through these mountains.
At Warm springs base the current OF
the great French Broad river sinks
out of sight and whereas mile above
the place the river is a perfect torrent,
deep and violent, at the place it can be
forded and is narrow, while below
some miles, the water comes up in q
vast volume. In the mountains or
the line of the railroad near this place
were discovered by the convicts many
skeletons, and the remains Of two
mammoths. Part of the road neal
here is cut through a solid mountain
of red marble, the place being known
as Red Marble gap.

The Stage.

The stage has function to perform
which is not moral instruction but which
is, nevertheless, praiseworthy and bene-
fetal in the main. 1t has its good fea-
lures, and it has its bad ones, just as
the public press and the pulpit have
their sensational elements, and all
branches of business have their phases
of selfshness and dishonesty. The fact
that the level of purity in the theater is
higher than in the standard English lit
erature which comprises its expurgated
dramas, should be set down to its credit.
But it should not be elevated to the po-
sition of moral instructor which it can
not fulfill. Nor should the acknowl-
edged fact that it has sensational and
meretricious developments lead to- its
wholesale condemnation, any more than
we wipe the pulpit and the press out OF
existence for the same reason. This is
the view which the common sense OF
the general public has long adopted in
its practice and which, if the clergy and
actors couldperceive it, might save them
trouble.

Emperor Williams Dream,

A Berlin correspondent of the London
Daily Neacs relates the following episode
of the German Emperor's recent visit to
the hygienic exhibition: While inspect
ing the pavilion of the City of Carlsbad
his majesty noticed a small china cup,
bearing the date 1868, and decorated
with blue silk ribbon. On inquiry he
was informed that this was the cup
from which he had taken the waters at
Carlsbad in 1868, preserved in memory
OF his visit Taking the cup in his
hand, the emperor said with smile:
"Yes, remember that time very well.
It's twenty years ago, and yet it nearly
seems as if only months had passed
since then, my recollections are so Wv
id. They remind me of a small episode
which, perhaps, l may tell you. One
night I dreamt stood by the Kur-spring
and man handed me cup containing
poison. When l awoke laughed at
this dream, for every morning at the
spring received my cup from the hands
of charming girl, and that she had no
desire to take my life 1 felt positive.
That morning, went to the spring at
the usual hour; but when found man
present this time, waiting to hand me
the cup, instead of the girl, who was
prevented from coming by illness, or
some other reason, then the memory Of
my dream made me feel quite uneasy
and shivery for moment. remained
uncertain for some instants, but then l
suppressed my suspicious, saying tony
self: The good Carlsbaders cannot have
any thoug hts of murder. And then I
looked once more at the kind-looking
man and at all the pleasant surround
ings, and | emptied the cup at a draught!
Of course it did not harm me. On the
contrary, my stay at Carlsbad was very
beneficial to me.h

Old 0locka


The old brass clocks went only thirty
hours, and we're set in motion by 3
weight attached to chain which passed
over a sheave having spikes in the
groove which caught in the links Of the
chain and required to be drawn up ev-
cry day. There was a counterpoisc at
the other end of the chain, and some
times a single weight was contrived to
serve both the going and the striking
parts. and there was occasionally an
alarm. On the introduction of the long
pendulum, clocks seem to have assumed
a different character. Catgut was sub
stituted for the chain, and barrels were
introduced, on which the catgut was
wound up, and, greater length of line
being employed, clocks were made to go
for eight days instead of thirty hours,
and chime of bells playing every quar-
ter of an hour was often added; the
weights and long pendulum hung down,
and as there was danger of their action
being interfered with, tall wooden cases
were made to protect them, on the top
of which the movement was placed.
This was, believe, the origin and date
of the tall, upright clock cases, which
were often made of ornamental woods
and enriched with fine marquetry. !
have one myself in IN early marquetry
case, made by Thomas Tompion, with a
beautiful set of chimes, about 1890, and
it is an admirable timekeeper, though
it has only the original iron wire for the
pendulum rod; and similar instances
are numerous. The earlier cases are
made of oak and walnut, the mahogany
cases being of the following century,
when that wood was introduced. The
brass "button and pillar clocks" seem
to have gone out of use about this time,
and probably few were made at the end
of the seventeenth century; but that
will appear more clearly if I receive
many communications from the owners
of dated examples. With regard to the
name of brass clocks, Ihave heard them
called very many years ago "button
and pillar clocks" The meaning and
origin of the name cannot tell, unless
it is derived from the pillars at the cor
ners and the hook or button on which
the clock may be hung up against the
wall.-N0teS and Queries.
