SPARK(LING) NEW CROWN SEWING MACHINE
Shegarbled a seam on cheap machine
A queer looking tumble of tangled loops.
And the awful screech of that snide machine
Was enough to make her beau look green.
The cat that sang ON the back yard fence
Hung poised on his tail in an awful trance;
The dog in the cellar yanked yowl.
For he never before heard aught so foul.
The young man rose As the row increased.
And smashed that machine In little bits.
"Il1 buy YOU" he said, when the chorus ceased
"a machine that won't drive us into fits"
So he sent to Mains and got Crown,
And now they are married and settled down.
He bought Machine and an Organ, too
One of Mains best, that can't be beat
The dog yowls not and the cat has fled,
And the baby lies still in its little bed.

She matched him sweet with Weaver sounds,
And the tinkling dip of the lovers twain
Ran over the rim of my soul like rain.
And the stars in the light of her upturned eyes
Spoke their love. as through rifted skies
Glinted and splintered in crystal mist
Down the snow white keys that her fingers kiss'd
II is soul-inspiring, the tones of the Weaver,
And when ii is played by sweetheart fair
The young man never wants to leave her,
But is tilled with ecstacy to the roots of his hair.

New 70 4 Po.s
Western newspapers are boasting
over a printer in the employ OF the San
Francisco Chronicle who has COM
pleted half century of a ''sit at the
case. There is a printer in Erie, "a,
named Michael j. Quinn, known
amonq the printers as Father" Quinn,
who has a longer string than the
Golden GAZE man. Father Quinn was
apprenticed when lad to printer IN
the CITY of Waterford, Ireland, in 1860,
and, after serving his apprenticeship
cot sit on the London Times, and
Iad several STAT takes" of the account
of the queens marriage notice. COM
ing to America, Mr.. Quinn got eases
on the New York Evening Post, which
he held for seven years. During that
period he had the personal acqualnt-
ance and confidence of William Cullen
BRYANT, Park Goodwin, John Bigeiow
and others. Turning his face west
ward, he went to Erie and served
nearly twenty years on the Erie De-
spatch. He now holds cases on the
Erie Daily Herald, and, although al
most seventy, uses his eyes without the
aid of glasses. Father Quinn's years
of toll present startling features IN the
way of figures. For instance, assum-
inc fair average rate of speed, taken
from his best, at 10000 ems, and his
rate of 5000 ems at the present day,
gives $500 ems for an average, Tt VII!
De found that the enormous amount OF
119, $40. 900 ems of matter has been set
up by this compositor during the past
half century or more. In setting this
it was necessary to handle over $685.
100000 pieces of metal twice over be-
sides distribution. 1t will further in
terest the reader to know that the type
so set would weigh 1SS,000 pounds, or
ninety-four tons which the old man
has lifted piece by piece in the speci-
fed time. In setting type the average
distance over which Che hand travels
is foot and a half or whereabouts.
Consequently his hand has travelled
over 100000 feet, or a matter OF
81, 727 miles, or within few hundred
feet of being four times the circumfer-
ence of the earth, this does not include
the distribution, which would increase
the distance to about five and a half
times around the globe. Father Quinn's
string would fill about 1O,015 columns
of space If stretched out in a contin-
uous line it would form q belt two
inches wide and over seven miles long
in solid reading matter. Put these
lines in one continuous line, and it
would extend 15S miles. Father Quinn
expects to spend ten years more at the
case. Hei is quite spry and observes all
the fast days and st. Patrick's day
with great regularity.

American Bellies Abroad.
london Letter TO Chic ago Tribune.

Among the Amei lean women who
have attained high position in Lon
don socially is I1rs. Pierre Lorilla-d
Ronalds, nee MS Fanny Carer. New
York society people will well recollect
Miss Carter as one of The most beauti-
ful girls of her day. ff,er several years
OF pronounced mar..,al unhaopiness,
Mrs. Ronalds separated from NJ. b.,
quitting Amei icI VIII her three Ii lie
children. l suppose there are rew lives
more full of incident and romance than
thai of this Sill beautiiul aud wonder
fully fascinating woman. During the
reign of Napoleon III. she was one of
the bellies of the F.ench court. The en-
peror is said 10 have thought her the
most beautiful American he had ever
seen, and irequec ,lv went purposely to
see her skate on the ice at tie fashion
able "rink," which she did, according
to my informant, "Givinely." After
the fall of the empire Mrs. Ronald went
to Algeria, and foi several years was
lost to the fashionable world. Eumor
from time to time said she was living
on sheep ranch. She was even cred
tied with the management of the vast
estate herself, and one story went so far
as to paint her experimenting her farm
personally and driving about over
countless acres armed TO the teeth, fear
less, though the only white woman
within miles.
Within the last few years Mrs. Ro-
maids has returned to London, and now
holds position in society second to
none. Her only daughter was married
a short time since, making a brilliant
match, and, friend tells me, the we'd
ding gifts included one from the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of Edin5urg, and several other
members of the royal family. Last Sun
day Mrs. Ronalds had the three Ameri-
can beauties with her during her recep-
ton hours-Miss Chamberlain, Miss
Winslow and Mrs. Beach-Grant's love-
ly daughter. There were also several
artists present, among them Miss Girls
void, Mr.. Bret Harte's niece, whose
successful debut at Covent Garden a
few weeks since has so gratitied her
friends and admirers.

could not wholly comprehend.
She understood sufficiently well, how
ever. But candid of soul and blunt OF
speech as she was, she did not at this
crisis shrink from a little innocent dis
sembling; and she did not allow him
to guess that she knew the entire truth.
Her poor, weak, punished recreant
had returned to her affections, and
she was not 10th to believe that his
amends would be all that she could de-
sire.
