LOVES POWER,

II were blind, and thou shouidst enter
Fen SO softly in the room,
should know 1t,

Something subtle would reveal it,
And glory round thee centre
That would tighten up the gloom.
And my heart would surely guide me,
With Loves second.sight provide me,
One amid the crowd to find,
If were blind
If were deaf, and thou hadst spoken.
Ere thy presence had known,
should knowit,
should feel it.
somethi ng subtle would reveal II,
And the seal at once be broken
By loves liquid undertone.
Deaf to other, stranger voices.
And the world 8 discordant noises
Whisper, wher esoever thou art,
Twill reach my heart!
If were dead, and thou shouldst venture
Near the coffin where lay,
should know 1t,
should feel Il,
somsth ing subtle would reveal IT.,
And no look Of mildest censure
Rest upon that face Of clay.
Should st thou kiss me, conscious flashes
OF Lo1e's fire through Deaths cold ashes
Would give back the cheek its red,

The Age of Invention.
ICin. Times-Star.

The number of inventions that have
been made during the past fifty years is
perhaps unprecedented in the history of
the world. OF course inventions of benefit
to the human race have been made in all
ages since man was created but looking
back for half hundred years, how many
more are crowded into the past fifty than
into any other fifty since recorded in his
tory! The perfection of the locomotive
and the now world-traversing steamship,
the telegraph, the telephone, the audiphone,
the sewing-machine, photograph, chrome
lithographic printing, the cylender print
ing press, the elevator for hotels and other
many -storied buildings, the cotton gin and
the spinning jenny, the reaper and the
mower, the steam thresher, the steam fire
engine, the improved process for making
steel, the application of chloroform and
ether to destroy sensibility in painful
surgery cases, and so on through long
catalogue. Nor are we yet done in the field
of invention and discovery. The applica-
tion of coal gas and petroleum to heating
and cooking operations is only trembling
on the verge of successful experiment the
introduction of steam from great central
reservoir to general use for heating and
cooking is foreshadowed as among the
coming events the artificial production of
butter has already created CONSERVATION
among dairymen. The navigation of the
air by some device akin to our present bal
loon would also seem to be prefigured,
and the propulsion of machinery by cleo
tricity is even now clearly indicated by
the march of experiment. There are some
problems we have hitherto deemed impos-
sible but are the mysteries of even the most
improbable of them more subtle to grasp than
that of the ocean cable or that OF the pho
tograph or the telephone? We talk by
cable with an ocean rolling between. We
speak in our own voices to friends a hun
dred miles or more from where we articu
late before the microphone. Under the
blazing sun of July we produce ice by
chemical means, rivaling the most solid
and chrystalline production Of nature. Our
surgeons graft the skin from one persons
arm to the face of another, and it adheres
and becomes an integral portion of his
body. We make mile of white printing
paper, and send it on spool that per-
fecting press unwinds and prints and cuts
and delivers to you folded and counted,
many thousand per hour. Of verify
this is the age of invention, nor has the
world reached stopping place yet

A PRESIDENTS WIDOW.
Mrs. James X. Polk Celebrates the
Eightieth Anniversary of Her
Birth
Ma shville World.l

Nashville World.
The eightieth anniversary of Mrs. James
K. Polk was observed in a quiet vet ele-
CANT and becoming manner yesterday at
the Polk mansion on High street. This
venerable lady, now passing into the wal
ley of the shadow" still retains a good
degree of vigor, indicating a continu-
ance Of that bright and beautiful life that
has characterized her throughout the long
years of her useful existence. Mrs. Polk
would impress the casual observer as a
lady of about sixty years of age, kind,
genial, yet modest and retiring adverse to
all public demonstrations. She was not
even aware that her birthday was known
to others than herself, until flow of con-
gratulations, bouquets and we'll wishes
poured in upon her. Among those who
called during the day was Judge John M.
Lea, Governor William B. Bate and ex-
Governor James d. Porter A number of
handsome and tastefully arranged bou-
quets were sent in by admiring friends.
One bouquet, the gift of Mrs. DR.. w.
A. Cheatham, had the figure eighty ar
ranged beautifully in white flowers in the
center of large cluster of pinks. Mrs.
Horton Fall, Mrs. Captain Stockel, Mrs.
A. G. Adams and many other ladies sent
bouquets of the rarest and loveliest flowers.
The sitting room was redOlent with the
perfume of these rare exotics, and Mrs.
Polk, sitting in the midst of them, re-
ceived and entertained constant stream
of visitors throughout the day.

SENATOR VEST.
What He Says of the Indians--His
Impressions of Montana.

The Post Dispatch of st. Louis, Septem-
Der 28th, contains an interview with Sena-
tor Vest, Just then returned from his Pres
idential and Territorial trip. Concerning
his Indian mission and impressions of
Montana we extract the following:
II went with Mr.. Maginnis, Delegate
from Montana, to visit the Indians in that
Territory. We visited the Flatheads, Pen
dOrielles, Kootenias, Piegans, Blackfeet,
Mountain Crows and Assinnaboines. The
Assinnaboines are only twenty-eight miles
from the British possessions, and we passed
over the line, going 1875 miles through the
buffalo country, and struck the Canadian
Pacific at Maple Creek. We then came on
that and the Manitoba road to Winnipeg,
and then to St. Paul and Chicago"
"What is the general condition of the
Indians?"
"Bad enough. The game is gone, and
they must work or starve. The men con-
slider work degrading to warriors, and fit
only for squaws and they won't allow their
children to learn how to work. The ratiOns
issued by the government are insufficient,
and the Indians eat up in one day what is
intended for seven. It's terrible problem,
what to do with these people, and worthy
the best thought of the country"
How did you like Montana?"
Every much indeed. The people are en-
ergetic, prosperous, and noble race OF
men. There are great many MissOurians
there, and was received everywhere with
open arms. If l ever leave Missouri |
shall 60 to Montana. Helena, Montana
and Fort Benton are thriving, pushing
cities, and have great promise for the
future. l did not visit Butte City, the
great mining centre, and was very sorry
my time would not permit. Of the cattle
interest in Montana l saw great deal, and
l was astonished to find their common cat
tie as good as any in the States. | visited
their State Fair, and saw horses equal to
any we see at our Fair here, whilst their
vegetables, especially potatoes, turnips and
cabbage, were wonderful. Altogether, l
like Montana very much, and believe it
has great future"

A WOMAN'S HAIR.
Raven Tresses Found in Burglars
Cell.
[San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 81.

San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. q.
At late hour Wednesday night from
certain signs about the cell OF Joseph
Hussey. an old State Prison offender, and
in Alameda Jail for burglary, the Jailers
suspected that he was up to some game,
and made a sudden descent on his cell. A
thorough search was made, but not single
suspicious circumstance was ascertalned.
1t then occurred to the jailers that they
would make an inspection of the outside OF
the cell, and, procuring dark lantern, they
explored the Jail yard.
Here their search was rewarded, for
under the window of Hussey's cell they
found an immense quantity Of woman's
hair, partly plated into a small cord and
connected with the cell by single hair
line. The mystery is how the hair got into
the cell, for no woman has visited the
prisoner since his incarceration. He states
that he found it in the cell when he was
first placed therein, but the authorities
suspect that some woman must have
passed it to him from the outside or else it
must have been smuggled in by some
male visitor. This is believed to be scarce
ly possible by reason of the fact that every
male visitor to Hussey has been closely
watched. 1t is quite evident that some
woman, with tender spot in her heart for
the prisoner, has sacrificed her hair in an
endeavor to assist him to make his escape.
The hair is black, immense in quantity,
and of an extraordinary length, the tresses
being over three feet long They are now
hung up among the curiosities of the Jail.

TransmutatiOn.

An object lesson in the transmutation of
virtues is conveyed in this paragraph from
an exchange: "Tennison can take sheet
of paper, write poem On it and make it
worth $1,000. That's genius. Vanderbilt
can write few words on sheet and make
it worth S5.000,000. That's capital. The
United States can take an ounce and a
quarter of gold, stamp upon it an "eagle
bird" and twenty dollars" That's money.
The mechanic can take the material worth
SIS, and make into watch worth $780,
That's skill. The merchant can take an
article worth twenty-five cents and sell it
for ST.. That's business A lady can pur-
chase very comfortable bonnet for $40,
but she prefers to pay 500. That's foolish
ness. The ditch digger works ten hours
day and shovels out three or four tons of
earth for So. That's labor"

HEALTH ALPHABET.

The Ladies' Sanitary Association of London
gives the following simple rules for keeping
health, which we find copied in the Sd,.itoridn:
As soon as you are up shake blanket and sheet
B-etter be without shoes than sit with wet feet
Children if healthy, are active, not still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both make
you i'll;
Eat slowly and always chew your food well;
F-reshen the air in the house where you dwell !;
Garments must never be made too tight;
Homes should be airy, healthy and light;
If you wish to be well, as you do, have no
doubt,
Just open the windows before you go out;
Keep the room always tidy and clean,
Let dust on the furniture never be seen;
Much illness is caused by the want of pure air !;
Now. to open the windows be ever your care !;
Old rags and old rubbish should never be kept;
People should see that their floors are well
swept;
Quick movements in children are healthy and
Remember the young cannot thrive without
light;
See that the cistern is clean to the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and trim /;
Use your nose to find if there be a bad drain;
Very sad are the fevers that come in its train !;
Walk as much as you can without feeling ia
tigue;
X-erxes could walk full many a league.
Your health is your wealth, which your wis
dom must keep;
Zeal will help good cause, and the good you
will reap.
