THE SONG OF THE SEA.
BY SIDNEY GREY.

Restless and mysterious heart of the ocean.
6nndest OF Tyres ever swept by the wind;
bow does il answer each varied emotion
That thrills through the turbulent heart OF man
kind.
Hast thou not heard IL. the song OF the sea,
When the wide waters lie sunlit and calm?
True to might OF a changeless decree.
II CIRCLES the earth with iubilant psalm.
Wave hidden treasure, 1t whispers your vanity;
Thunders OF God where the rolling clouds form
Tempest-tossed, echoes the cry of humanity,
Weakened by passions as wild as the storm
Wonderful voice, never still, never firing,
While to oblivion centuries sweep,
Always the praise OF Omnipiteuce quiring,
Whose spirit first moved on the face of the deep
Not until time hath attained its duration,
Not till the end of the finite shall be,
Not until doom overtaketh creation,
May sink into silence the song of the sea.
Leisure Hour.

DR.. DUBUQUE, OF Pau, recommends as pre-
ventive of cholera the strengthening of the
endothelial and epithelial systems by the
daily administration of two doses of Q. 25
grain of pure tannin prepared with ether.
His curative method consists in restoring
the circulation by copious intravenous in
jections of an artificial serum, to which
should be added one grain per liter of pure
tannin. Perhaps his views were the most
important of those communicated on the
subject of cholera to a recently-appointed

The Alcohol Question.

Why do doctors ever prescribe alcoholic
stimulants? They say there is strength in
them. This is all mistake. Such Things
may bolster patients up for little while,
but leave them worse when the temporary
stimulus subsidies. If people keep on taking
alcoholic stimulants, it means drunkenness
and ruin. Remember that Browns Iron Bit
tiers is not an alcoholic drink. It is the only
reliable preparation of iron ever made. 1t

Engagement Bracelets.

Engagement bracelets are more used than
engagement rings. Some of them are very
pretty, being set with diamonds, rubies and
sapphires, and having the initials of the en-
gagged pair engraved on the back of the lock.
Chain bracelets are extensively worn, and
are far more popular than bangles. Silver
is preferred by a great many people to gold.
1t is more stylish and never looks shoddy.

A SPLENDID LETTER OF CREDIT.

pNIoE CRY, Ind, Sept. 1--we, the IN
designed, foreign born citizens OF Union
city, Ind, and vicinity, who have personally
known Hon. Isaac P. Gray for many years,
and some of us during hisentire thirty years
residence in this city, in reply to the charge
of 'Know-nothingism" now being circu-
lated against him, desire 10 say that no man
il more free from intolerance and proscrip-
tive principles than Isaac P. Gray.
He has at all times, when proper, in all his
public and private utterances denounced
everything like "Know-nothingism" and
religious prescription of every character.
Well do the Catholic people here remember
when, many years ago, sectarian prejudice
caused the arrest of Catholic school teacher,
and that notwithstanding the eEcitenent
and prejudice of the occasion Colonel Gray
promptly volunteered and defended the
teacher. No man who has ever lived among
ms is more popular and highly respected by
the foreign born citizens than Colonel Gray,
and he always had the courage of his con-
victiOns.
Our only object IN giving this statement
to the public is that Colonel Gray's attitude
before the public in this respect NAV not be

FOR THE GREEDY RELIEF.

MS 10 tho Best Means or Finding the

Suggestions OF Prominent British Ofhcers
ms TO tho Best Means OF Finding the
Lost.
The secretary of the navy has received a
communication from Capt. G. s. Mares, r. N,
embodying the views of himself, Maj. II. W..
Fielden, H. NJ. A., and Capt. A. II. Markham,
R. N, in response to the invitation received
from the secretary of state for such sugges-
tions as they might make for the conduct of
the expedition to DO sent for the relief of the
Greedy party. In their opinion to insure
success tho expedition must be thoroughly
and efficiently equipped, competently COM
manded, and above all he under the direct
auspices and supervision of the government.
They would strongly deprecate the dispatch
of an expedition that was TO combine
any other object, such as whaling, with that
of tho primary undertaking. They are
strongly of tho opin ion that the main relief
party should consist of two ships; one OF
these should be engaged in advance in the
actual search, proceeding, If necessary, as far
north al Discovery bay, while the other
should be used Us a depot ship, placed in such
convenient position that in case of accident
to the advance ship there would BIO no neces-
sty for her crew to retreat to the Danish set
Elements in Greenland.
The letter then gives detailed plan for q
relief expedition, its suggestions being III ac'
cordancc with the plan adopted by the Greedy
relief board, and which are now being
carried out under Capt. Schley's directions.
The writer's express the greatest confidence
in finding Greedy and his party, and urge
the necessity for reaching them by the close
of the navigable season of 1884, even if they
have advanced 10 farther southwark than
Discovery harbor.
Tho report concludes with an assurance OF
tho sympathy of the British government with
the object of tho proposed expedition.

richest in tho world, with 10000 miles OF
coast dotted with great commercial cities
and manufacturing towns, there Is not q sin
gle fort ON the ocean or lakes that Rn ordi-
nary ironclad could not pass" said Admiral
Porter in his testimony. and no man will
question his judgment. Our perannuated
forts have not single modern gun to damage
an enemy's ironclad yet our congress re-
Gently appropriated only fow hundred
thousand dollars TO armor one small irOnclad.
The secretary of the navy advertised in this
country for bids for those plates, but not one
was rendered they could not bc made in any
of our navy yards, nor in any private estab-
lishment in this country, SO they were con-
tracted for in England,
Recently board of officers WAS appointed
to determine which navy ard should be
used for the manufacture of heavy ordnance,
but was unable to give any idea of the extent
Of the cost of the necessary plant, and was
finally sent to England to procure tho needed
information. This board has just made its
report, and says that it will require three
years to make the tools and put the plant in
order before the first gun could be made.
Three years, with all their contingencies
Can this nation afford TO wait three years Z
Can we begin too soon? England to-day has
in her navy 10 powerful modern ironcads,
with tonnage of 100000 tons, with the most
modern improved guns 43l ships for general
