THE HAND OF LINCOLN

Look on this cast and know the hand
That bore Nation in its hold;
From this mute witness understand
What Lincoln was-how large or mold
The man who sped the woodman's team,
And deepest sunk the plowman's share,
And pushed the laden raft astream,
OF fats before him unaware.
This was the hand that knew to swing
The aX-since thus would Freedom train
Her son-and made the forest ring.
And drove the wedge, and toiled amain.
Firm hand, that ioftler office took,
A conscious leaders will obeyed,
And, when men sought his word and LOOK,
With steadfast might the gathering
swayed.
No courier's toying with sword,
No minstrel's, laid across lutte;
A chiefs uplifted TO the Loru
When all the kings OF earth were mutel
The hand of AnalS, sinewed strong,
The fingers that on greatness clutch;
Yet, lol the marks their lines along
OF one who strove and suffered much.
For here in notified coro and vein
trace the varying chart Of years;
know the troubled heart, the strain,
The weight of Atlas-and the tears.
Again / see the patient brow
That palm erewhile was wont to press;
And now It's furrowed deep, and now
Made smooth with hope and tenderness.
For something of formless grace
This nodded outline plays about;
plying flame, beyond our trace,
Breathes like spirit, in and out
The love that cast an aureoe

SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.
A New Craft Not Unlike jules Verne's
Famous ship.

New HAVEN, Feb. Sth.-Professor
Charles f. Ritchell, of Bridgeport,
famous in Connecticut as the inventor
of numerous practical labor-saving
machines, and famous in Europe and
America as the inventor and builder
of the only flying machine ever devised
that succeeded in flying, has perfected
a model Of submarine craft with
which be expects to overcome the
obstacles that so long kept the civilized
mariner ignorant of the surroundings
of the North Pole. He feels confident
that with this vessel he can navigate
the sea with far less danger below the
surface than above, and make much
greater speed. He considers that his
vessel will be indispensable to the
navy, and for all expeditions in the
Arctic'or Antarctic Oceans. The first
machine will be of an elongated egg
shape, will be built in compartments,
and will be, atleast, 200 feet long. 1t
will have four huge glass eyes, through
which the lookout can see above, ahead,
behind and below. The propeling
power will be a screw at the stern, and
the lowering and lifting power a screw
beneath the keel on exactly the same
principle as that Of the fan wheel used
on the air-ship, Whereby the vessel is
made to rise or fall at the operators
desire. The vessel is made to float,
but the vertical screw will draw it
downward at whatever rate of speed it
is running.
The Professors plan about reaching
the North Pole is to come to the sur
face at every opportunity in the ice
openings, and, after securing enough
fresh air to fill the condensed air de-
partments, descend again and continue
the voyage. Twenty men could sue
cessfully operate the machine contem.
plated. The principle of buoyancy is
the same as that of the air-ship, the
equipoise being such thata slight force
will govern its upward or downward
movements. Should the vessel strike
the earth or ice it would bound back
in the same way and for the same
reason that a football bounds on the
earth. 1t is proposed to use oil for
fuel and electricity for light. The
vessel will be of copper. Professor
Ritchell has built a working model of
his submarine craft This miniature
is now in operation in large tank of
water at bis laboratory in the Bridge
port Savings Bank building. The
model is worked by means of a spring,
but in every other particular it is
rugged as will be the larger vessel. 1t
will readily be seen how radical an
improvement is Professor Ritchell's
plan over the exploded theories of
former inventors of submarine vessels.

HAWTHORNE, ESMERALDA COUNTY, NEW, FEBRUARY
THE LAND OF THE AFTERNOON.

An old man sits in his garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky,
What sees he in the hlle depth there,
Where only the Isles of Memory lie?
There are princely towers and castles high,
There are gardens fairer than human ken,
There are happy children thronging by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices of sweet attune
The songs of the Land OF the Afternoon.
The old man watches form of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are,
And he sees n homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beekons him afar,
o, check of roses and hair of godl
o, eyes of Heavens diynest blue,
Long have ye lain in the graveyard mold
But love is infinite, love is true:
He will find her-yes-it must be soon,
They will meet in the Land OF the Afternoon,
The sky has changed. and a wreck of cloud
Is driving athwart its troubled face,
The golden mist is trailing shroud;
1t is cold and bleak in the garden place.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from his wrinkled brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Der every wasted feature now;
One sigh exhales like breath in June
He has found the Land of the Afternoon.

trees grow on the islands Of Asia and in
tropical America. They bear fruit for
seventy or eighty years, having ripe
fruit upon them at all seasons. A fine
tree in Jamaica has over 4, 600 nutmegs
on it yearly. The Dutch used to have
all this nutmeg trade, as they owned

How q Political Debate of 1880
Ended.

One of the most exciting duels ever
fought took place at Little Rock, Ark,
in 1880, between Gen. Conway and
Robert C, ittenden. 1t was of a polit-
ical nature. Parties were just begin
ming to form in the state, and the two
gentlemen were opposing candidates
for congress, and canvassed the state,
taking different routes. The people,
however, clamored for joint discus
sion, and the men spoke in q pine grove
opposite Little Rock, people coming as
great distance as 400 miles to be
present, and camping out around the
town. The discussion became highly
personal, and at the close of Critten-
den's speech he said he hoped no gen.
tleman would utter words in the heat of
debate concerning him that would not
be tolerated in the code of honor. Con-
way ans yered in shower of invective,
and challenge followed. A tremend-
Gus crowd collected to see the en-
counter. Ben Desha, son of a govern
or of Kentucky, was second for Crit
tenden, and Wharton Rector for Con-
way. During the preliminaries Con
way was angry and restless, while Crit
tenden lay on the ground on blanket
with his eyes closed as if in slumber.
At the word fire from Desha, Conway
pulled the trigger, but missed. Stand
ing firm, calm and C elected Crittenden
fired at the word two, and his adver-
sary fell, pierced through the heart by
ball from CritteDden's pistol.

Lifelong discomfort and sudden death
often come to children through the in
attention or carelcssness of the parents.
A child should never be allowed to go to
sleep with cold feet the thing to be last
attended to is to see that the feet are
dry and warm. Neglect of this has
often resulted in dangerous attack
of the Group, diphtheria or fatal sore
throat. Always on coming from school
or entering the house from visit or En-
rand in rainy, muddy or thawy weather,
the child should remove its shoes, and
the mother herself ascertain whether the
stockings are the least damp. If they
are, they should be taken of, the feet
held before the fire and rubbed with
the hands till perfectly dry, and another
pair of stockings and another pair of
shoes put on. The reserve shoes and
stocking should be kept where they are
good and dry, SO as to be ready ut q
minutes notice,
