Ocean Etiquette.

Eighty thousand Americans annu-
ally visit Europe. OF this number
10000 sail from the port of New York.
They spend upon an average while
abroad $500 apiece. The greater
number are ladies. Such is the state
ment made by Broadway (New
York travelling commission firm 10
reporter. The Importance of these an
nual pilgrimagts s, which are increasing
year by year, has developed a ystem OF
ocean etiquette that governs t con-
duet of what may be termed the best
circles of "maritime society,"" Nova
days the captain of a crack ocean
steamer must not only he trst-class
sailor, but he must also be man of
infinite tact and method, with a thor
ough knowledge of what society" re-
quires at his hands.
To sit at the fright of the captain
at table at once accords to the occu-
pants of that distinguished honor the
highest place in the social scale on
board ship, and the position is COM
peted for with an amount Of anxiety
that is very amusing. The senior sur
geon and his assistant (when two are
carried) act as Deputies, and rank So
cially next in importancetothe captain
himself How to accommodate the va
rious claims for this coveted distinction
is a matter of serious moment. The
personnel of the passenger list is
closely searched at least fo;ty-eight
hours before the vessel sails. Very
often the purser is called into CONSUL
tation, and the difficulty is finally set
tied by placing card bearing the pas
senger's name upon his or her plate.
From this decision there is no appeal.
1t frequently happens, however, that
one or more persons may consider
themselves sighted, and where it is
probable that the imaginary slight will
disturb the social harmony the captain
escapes by taking his meals in his own
room. --Boston Trareler.

Three Acres Of Eggs.

A Santa Barbara (Cal.) fisherman
has discovered, near San Miguel island,
a smaller island, about three aores in
extent, which is probably the largest
nest of eggs in the world. The island
is covered with a layer of guano in
which sea fowls of all descriptions
were found laying or incubating their
eggs. The surface appeared to be al
most entirely covered with eggs, prin-
cipally those of the sea gulls, shags,
and a small bird known as the salt
water duck. The disc0yerer says it
was difficult to walk without treading
upon the eggs, and that it would be
easy to load a ship with them.

What are we going to do with our

BE calm, man. We can get along well
enough with our dead. They won't
trouble us. They are good and quiet
enough. It's the live men that worry
us. What are we going to do with
some of the live men? And we tell
you confdentially; there is one of them

THE HEIRESS.

Adele Fayton gave a vexed little
toss of her heal-a gesture intended
to be awfully annihllating to Mr.
Harry Browne, standing on the lower
step of the piazza at the Seaside house.
VERY well, 60, Of course, Mr..
Browne, if you prefer but really,
think it is too bad of you"
"Of course it is, added pretty Miss
Hunter, with the golden locks aid
baby hlue eyes that were considered M-
resistible by the generality of the
sterner sex. "0f course it is too bad,
when you know that to a dozen ladies
stopping at the Seasi 10 there are only
such few gentlemen. l know what
the trouble is, though, don't i, Mr..
Brownep You are tired of us--the
same over and overland you are re-
serving your forces until the much
talked Of and anxiously expe ted
beauty and heiress arrives upon the
scene"
Harry turned lazily round and
smiled.
:" am afraid shall have to incur a
great risk in contradicting lady, he
said, good-humoredly.
Naughty Ad lie Fayton flashed him
half-indignant, half-sarcastic glance
from her black eyes and said:
And when this heiress has arrived,
l daresay Mr.. Browne will lose all his
interest in his solitary boat rides and
fishing excursions, while we forlorn
maidens get through the day as well
rs we can, for lonesomeness. Mr.
Browne, you are selfish"
"Well, yes, rather, if always want
ing the best of everything concerned
Is what you callselfish. But will re-
deem my character by proving to you
that which will doubtless st YOUR
hearts at rest. don't believe in your
wonderful coming beauty and helress
to begin with, and in the second pla e,
would commit hari-kari before I'd
marry an heiress. Now am l vind.-
cated?"
He bowed and walked off, just a lit
tie to the discontinue of the ladies on
the piazza-weLt off TO the beach
where his boat and fishing tackle
awaited him, with more of disgusted,
impatient look on his face than was
customary with him.
"What a lot of idiots fellow comes
across in the course of his life Be-
cause a lot of pretty girls lose their
heads when a wealthy beau comes
along, they argue, with a woman's
sense'ess persistency, that the men are
as mercenary as themselves. Marry an
heiress not if she were as beautiful as
as Venus, and every word she
dropped was transmitted into a kohl

pipe out of his mouth and TRANQUILITY
remarked:
"Guess you fellers jest as well go

1t is one Of my rules in life never to
ask useless questions. | went back,
and in a few moments | found out
why.
The sound of chopping and the swish
of the saw suddenly ceased, and a
long, mournful cry rang through the
woods. 1t was the warning noe Of
the woodmaG.
The top of tall tree some distance
ahead of us began to tremble slightly.
There was an awful prolonged groan
such groan as might come from
the breast of the imprisoned giant be-
meath Mount 4Etna. Then came a
sharp "crack T. as the mighty trees
trunk snapped. The tall monster
slowly and majestically moved toward
the earth. There was terrible crash
as it smote the branches from its fellow
trees-smitng them cleanly as with a
cimeter There was roar as OF thun-
der when it struck the ground; the
earth trembled for rods around as if
an earthquake shock were upon us; a
cloud of dust rose up, and when it
cleared away the impassve woodmea
were stripping the fallen giant of his
limbs.
Inasmuch as the tree fell upon the
exact spot we had occupied moment
before, we understood and appreciated
the remark of the laconic woodman.
We watched the woodmen prepare
an immense log, about twelve feet in
diameter. They drove in the staple,
and then hitched to it twenty oXen--
ten yoke. The goad bearer punched
his animals, swore at them in a pleas
ant and persuasive voice, and they
started. The mammoth log groaned
slightly, turned reluctantly, andmoyed
forward an inch or two.

THEN AND NOW.

All the years of longing, waiting,
All the hours of loving, hating,
All the dreaming, hesitating,
That have borne me as river
Bears the vessels that we give her
Looking back, sigh and shiver
At the time tween then and now.
Days Of summer warmth and gladness,
Moments of delicious madness,
And the nights of fearful sadness
That have ruled my brow with care lines,
Chilled me when the MONDAY sun shines,
Placed the thorns where memory still twines
Round the time tween then and now.
Midst the tumult of life's hurry
And the thousand things that worry,
Shall the bloom become berry?
Shall the bud become flower!
That shall fill some sheltered bower
With wond'rous perfume shower?
Shall the then be lost in now?

BURIED IN OAK HILL CEMETERY, WASHINGTON
D. O., JUNE 8, 1881.
Oh, dews and flowers Of splendid June
With pearls and garlands grace his tomt
Who taught Milan's dear maid the tune
That times the whole worlds loving feet,
10 which all golden hearts shall beat,
Where'er they wait or weep or roam,
OF Home, Sweet Homo " forever.
Our mariner on the Spanish main,
The tattered miner in his tent,
The wanderer on the throbbing plain
Where yellow moons by simoons wheeled
Smite Desolation's finty shield,
A second bow of hope is bent
In Home Sweet Home" forever.
And %hen to bugle and the blast
Where battle turns the lilies red,
Through flashing columns standing fast
The soldier cuts his narrow lane
That lets him through to Glory's fame
He hears an angel overhead
Sing Home, Sweet Home" forever.
1he weary traveller who waits
In twilight's dim and drear abode
The opening of the pearly gates
That some faint ray or friendly star
May shine abroad through doors ajar
And show his fading eyes the road,
Sighs Home, Sweet Home forever.
Acamp of blue, a camp of gray,
A peaceful river rolled between,
We're pitched two rifle shots away;
The sun had set the west aglow,
The evening clouds were crimson snow,
The twinkling camp fires family seen
: Across the dark ming river.
Then aoated from the Federal band
The "Spangled Banners" starry strain,
The grays struck up their Dixie Land"
And "Rally Round" and Bonny Blue" =
And "Red and What" alternate flew
All, no such flights shall cross again
The Rappahannock river!
And then, over the gancing beam
OF song" bugle warbled low,
Like some bird startled from a dream,
Home, Home, Sweet Home" and voices
rang
And gray and blue harmonious sang
All other songs we're like the snow
Amoug the pines when winds are stilled,
And felrts and voices throbbed and thrilled
With Home, Sweet Home forever.
No matter what the flag unfurled
All, Dulce Domum rules the world!
Sweet singer of the song of men,
Thou CONTEST late to claim thy own,
But when the daisies rise again
Arrayed in all thy borrowed dust,
The world will hold thy words in trust
And ages chant from zone to zone
Thy Home, Sweet Home forever.
The Memnon murmured song, they thought,
When dawning day his lips impressed
And flushing marble warmed and caught
The sweet Ionic of the Creek
All, truer far thy lips shall speak
Nor wait the touch of sun or stars
For thee the night time has no bars
Welcome, dear heart, and take thy rest
At Home, Sweet HOME" forever.

The editor of the New Era should keep

may interest him to know that few
days ago the Legislature of that state
with an overwhelming Democratic pre-
ponderance in both branches passed an
apportionment bill by which six of the
ten congressional districts were given
negro majorities. Two of the six dis
tricts have colored majorities of 16, 600.
while the remaining four have each 25,'
600 of a negro surplus. This political
division was made Notwithstanding the
fact that the whites are numerically
stronger than the negroes by $4,000 in
the state.
