THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE.

Slowly and YEARLY
We climb the mountain eide,
Aiming to scale the heights;
All filed with manly pride.
Sliding unsteadily;
Our feet are tired and sore;
Snow ell around US falls,
The winds and waters roar.
Gazing to depths below,
And then to yonder peak;
Steps seem TO count for naught-
The thought zen. makes US weak.
Still ss we trudge along,
We know we're gaining ground,
Views, now enlarge: become;
We scan the scene around.
Hours pass quite steadily,
The miles we make are few,
Yet, as we ON ward strive,
Cur sight greets something new.
Sunshine, and wind d hail,
Clear sky through fakes of snow;
Nature is beautiful,
Above, around, below.
Peaks hey nd peaks appear,
And nearer TO the sky;
Slowly and YEARLY
n
just as the thought took wing,
An eagle promptly sailed
Far up above the peaks:
His graceful form Ne hailed.
Battling. we tribute paid
The King Of higher realm;
Lovingly praised his fight
What power 10 in that helml
Man, when he floats in air.
At mercy of each breeze,
Meets thee. and thou dost scoff
And tAunt him, with thy ease.
Euros and Z,pbyrss,
And Boress, No.os-all,
Mock at bis wingless form,
And strive to make him fall.
Pleading and struggling hard,
Thy secret to obtain;
Men fear whilst thou art dumb,
The secret NUT remain.
Fate charged thee not to speak,
And babe US not to fly:
May we not barter gifts?
On! Ash the gods on high.
Fly, noble bird to earth,
And name thy secrets price;
Men will that jewel buy,
Though death come in tiice."
Alb How he .corns our Plea;
He flies towar1 the sun,
Soaring as if 10 show.
His flight had just begun.
higher, and up he sails,
Our sight seems poor and weak,
Fsjing I'LL lost to earth;
With gods he now might sneak
Oh! What . glorious boon
That noble bird enjoys!
Free from the cares we bear,
His freedom neught alloys.

Thy secret must be found;

HERALD readers will doubtless
remember that not long ago a
Chinaman, sailing under the eupho-

purporting to speak for the entire
resident Chinese population of the
town, asked the City Council, by
petition, to select a spot Of ground
in the suburbs, where the wash
houses of his people might be per-
mitted to flourish under their own
vine and fig tree. with none to mo-
lest or smell the effiuvia. 1t may
also be called to mind that this pc
tition, among other things, attemp-
ted TO give a scientific analysis of
the ingredients of common soap; to
prove that when exposed to the
elements in the form Of wish house
refuse, there was nothing so deadly,
and wound up with the modest re-
quest-inasmuch as those more i'm
mediately interested were entirely
willing, and for the general health
of the people-that the Chinese be
required to prosecute the soap and
water portion Of their business in
locality remote from the haunts OF

The sentiment of this petition
was universally applauded, as it
had for its object the adjustment

y ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS statement
Of the yield of precious metals shows
that in 1882 the output of gold in the
entire world was valued at $11S, 000,-
600 and of silver at 1914, 000,00 It
is a fact not generally understood
that Russia is the third great producer
of gold, the yield of that country be-
ing $50, 900. only $21, 40O,0 900 less
less than Australia. The United
States is the greatest silver-producer,
the yield in 1882 being $16, $50, 0OO
Australia, though ranking second in
the production of gold, contributes
scarcely any silver to the worlds
isupply, while Mexico, a great silver
producer, yields but little gold. The
comparative data shows that the
United States is the only nation in
which both of the precious metals are
found in great abundance.
Two weeks ago Dr.. Orrin E. New
ton, of Pittsburg, committed suicide.
Saturday a woman named Mrs. Bry
ant, who had been living with DR.
Newton, took her own life She made
the most elaborate preparations for
the act, bathed and arranged herself
in the garments Of the grave, and
when found had a wreath of flowers
on her head Suicide is the usual end
of such lives, and there was nothing
remarkable in it except the minute
directions she left for the disposition
of her body and effects. She original
ly came from Bloomington, Ill, and
was a niece of Alex. Campbell found

Gariield's Monument.
From the Cleveland Leader.

The surveyors on Saturday finished
laying out the grounds for the Gar
field monument. The plot consists of
about two and one-half acres on the
highest point of the cemetery grounds,
on the south side. From this point
beautiful panorama lies spread before
the vision. To the north magnificent
grounds, dotted with groves and pene-
trated with splendid drives, that wind
in and out like silver threads among
the trees, while scattered here and
there, surrounded with well-kept
lawns, are quiet farm houses, while
the deep, blue waters of Lake Erie
form background of exceeding beau
ty. To the left a rare view Of East
Cleveland is obtained, while the tall
smokestaclzs of various manufactseies
send their curling clouds to the skies,
bespeaking of the hum and the stir of
business life in the distant city. On
the right is spread a quiet view Of the
beautiful cemetery, the ravine, tall
monuments, and the handsome
grounds. Across the drive on the OPP
posite hill is the tall, plain spire,
marking the resting-place of Amasa
Stone, that can be plainly seen from
the windows of Adelbert College,
which ne founded The Garfield plot
is in the unimproved portion Of the
cemetery; but the natural beauty Of
the place is great, and when properly
laid out and surrounded with drive
it will be the most attractive spot in
the cemetery. The main drive leading
from the entrance will be intersected
by the new drive to the monument
about 1000 feet from the gate, and
will bear in a southerly direction to
the hill, where an easy grade will be
made, winding around the plot to the
top. The exact location for the monu-
ment is now fixed in about the center
of the plot, but before the work of
erection begins may possibly be chang

she had broken her promise to give
him her hand in marriage if he would
give her a $500 pianoforte. He added
that she also put cheese in his coffee,

he gave her the pianoforte uncondi-

She admitted that she once playfully
threw a piece of cheese at him when
they were at the table, and that she

mere reckless escapade characteristic

result was simply an ordinary shoot

Raising PIUmS.
From the Country Gentleman.


AT a recent meeting of fruit-growers
in Ohio, member remarked that it
was usually easier to raise ten bushels
of strawberries than one of plums,
although some had tried to drive away
the curculio with tar water, and to
repel them in other ways. We have
not been able to make a comparison
of the relative facility of raising
plums and Strawberries, as we have
had a superabundance of both this
season. Every day for a month our
tables were copiOusly supplied with
Cumberland, Charles Downing and
Sharpless Strawberries, and later in
the season the plumb trees were bend
ing under the heavy loads of Imperial
Gage, Lawrence, Mclaughlin, Jeffer-
son and Bradshaw plums. Without
the simple and efficient mode which
we have long since adopted for ex-
terminating the curcuIiO, we should
probably not have had a peck of this
fruit. An interesting fact in connec-
ton with plum culture is worth men
tiOning. This year the trees have been
usually subject to the early dropping
of the leaves, some of the later sorts
not having foliage to finish the growth
and maturity Of the fruit. A part of
the orchard was top dressed last win
ter with stable manure, which was
worked into the soil. On
this portion of the orchard the trees
have retained their leaves. On the I'M
part, most of them have lost
their foliage The virtue of stable
in the formation of fruit is
yearly becoming better known.

Accidents to an Imperial Family.
London Truth.

A whole series of unlucky accidents
have befallen the Austrian imperial
family. Just as the Empress Eliza
beth was passing on horseback over a
small bridge, which spans a torrent
IN the Ttyrian Alps, near Murzsteg. a
plank gave way under her horses
hoof. The animal stumbled and threw
his rider over his head. On the very
same day, at the same hour, Archduke
William, brother of Archduke Albert,
while experimenting the cavalry ex-
ercises at the camp of Bruck. was
taken i'll and fell in dead faint off
his horse; and at the same moment
the Archduchess Clotilda, wife of
Archduke Joseph, who had been to
visit girls school near Buda-Pesth,
having just stepped out of the house,
accompanied by the young girls,
heard frightful noise behind her.
She turned, and found that the roof
of the school-room had just fallen in {!
What Interpretation will superstitious
people place upon these condolences?
Mine would be that the Archduchess
Clotilda is luckier than her relatives.

WhistIing Girls.
N. 2. Morning Journal

'. L
1t IS now the fashion for women to
Kensington stitch and play on the
banjo, and whatever is fashionable is
perfectly proper, so at least say fash
ions followers. Besides the many
professional women in this city, there
are scores of amateurs. In Brooklyn
there are two clubs of girls where
whistlingis the only music permitted,
and one of the clubs possesses a teach
er who teaches them part whistling
songs and solos, with piano accom-
paniment. In this city there are no
whistling clubs, but many young
ladies make whistling as much an ac-
cOmplishment as singing A Journal
reporter asked a young lady how she
learned to whistle.
ooh, easy enough" she replied. Il
have always whistled, and learned
with my big brothers; in fact, [ can
whistle better than either Of them
now listen" and she sat down at the
piano and whistled. ''Listen to the
Mocking Bird" doing the trills in a
mastery style.
Il always had an idea it was hard
work for a girl to whistle"
well, it is" she replied. "Some
girls can not whistle at all, and others
whistle in a most peculiar manner.
Why, [ know a girl, and she can
whistle and sing at the same timew
The reporter looked incredulcus.
"How does she manage it?'' he ask
ed.
We'll, you see, she can't whistle
but between breaths, and when she is
taking a breath the tune continues,
but she sings it instead Of whistling.
1t is very amusing indeed, and sounds
as though she were whistling and
singing at the same time"
DO you whistler" asked the re
porter of a very pretty young lady the
other evening.
ooh, yes" she said Il have just
learned a new piece, Sweet Violets,
and it sounds beautiful | whistle
with guitar and violin accompani-
ment, which is quiet unusual, you
know; but one does get so tired of
banjo music all the time.
Did it take you long to learn?'
Yes, quite a time. I didn't seem
to get my tongue right, and now a
girl | know tells me | am gettin g
wrinkles all about my mouth; but I
can not see them, and [ think she
says so merely out of envy, because
my whistling is SO much admired. "

The Female Telegraph Strike.

Most of the female telegraph strikers
in the East are still out of work. Their
case is hard one, as many of them
have not only had to support them
selves, but others as well. They get
plenty Of sympathy, but that's a
mighty poor thing to dine on. When
the strike was abandoned and they
offered to return to their places, they
were told the places had been filed
and they were not wanted. The filing
was done chiefly out of the telegraph
class IN Cooper institute. The girls
learning telegraph there were only
too glad of a chance to get employ
ment, and those who could handle an
instrument with any skill were taken
IN by the Western Union people, The
girls who joined the strike received
very little assistance while it was in
progress, bat they held out like little
soldiers, every one. 1t is hard luck
that they should fare worse than the
men after making SO brave a fight.
They think the Western Union cam
pany holds a special spite against them
for being so firm, and that this is why
they are not taken back, but the real
reason is that the places Of most of
them We're really filed.

The following incident is reported
by the Belgian newspapers as having
occurred at the recent Ostend horse
races. King Leopold, who was pres
ent at the races, was talking to some
gentlemen of his suite, when an Eng
hsh gentleman and lady passed by.
The lady, pulling her husbands sleeve
whispered ''The King" and the Eng
lishman calmly confronted the Bel
gian monarch and slowly produced a
number of coins from his pocket, from
which he selected Belgian franc for
the purpose of verifying the truth of
his wifes statement. After long
and minute comparison between the
impression on the coin and the origi-
nal, the Briton called out with evil
dent satisfaction, "Oh, yes, it is the
King!" King Leopold, who had
watched the scene, was highly anus
ed at the process of Identification.
