A Cure for DiphtherIa.

EXILE OF ERIN.

Thomas Campbell (l777-1S44), the Scotch poet
of illustrious family, gave early indications OF
poetic genius. He was fine classical scholar
excelling especially in Greek. His career, so
common to the poet, was checkered with sun
shine and shadow, though the clouds were the
frowns of fortune rather than the consequences
of improper conduct. His poetry accords with
the purest Greek taste. Pleasures of Hope, and
Gertrude of Wyoming are his longest poems and
thew are much admired. The poem given below
is among the best known of his short poems.]
There came to the beach poor exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill;
For his country he sighed, when at twilight re-
pairing
But the day-star attracted his eyes sad devotion,
For it rose over his own native isle of the ocean,
Where once, in the fire of his youthful emotion,
He sang the bold anthem of Erin go bragh.
Sad is nv fate! said the heart broken stranger
The wild deer and wolf to covert can flee,
But have no refuge from famine and danger,
home and country remain not % TO me-
Never again in the green sunny bowers
Where my forefathers lived Shall spend the
sweet hours,
Or cover nv harp with the wild-woven flowers,
And strike to the numbers of Erin 60 bragh!
Erin, my country though sad and forsaken,
In dreams I revisit thy sea beaten shore;
And sigh for the friends who can meet me no
cruel fate! wilt thou never replace me
In mansion of peace, where no perlls can
chase me?
Never again shall my brothers embrace me?
They died to defend me, or lived to deplore!
Where is my cabin door, fast by the wildwood?
Sisters and SIRE did We weep for its fall?
Where is the mother that looked on my child
hood?
And where is the BOSOM friend dearer than all :?
o my sad heart long abandoned by pleasure,
Why did it dote on fast fading treasure?
Tears like the rain-drop, may fall without meas
B." ure,
But rapture and beauty they cannot recall.
Yet, all it's sad recollections suppressing,
One dying wish my lone bosom can draw
Erin, an exile bequeaths thee his blessings!
Land of my forefathers, Erin 60 bragh!
Buried and cold, when my heart stills her motion,
Green be thy fields, sweetest isle Of the ocean
And thy harp-striking bards sing aloud with
devotion,-
Erin mavoureen, Erin 50 bragh

MISS ROSE ELIZABETHC CLEVELAND.
Miss r. T.. Cleveland, the sister of the
President, and mistress of the White House,
is the Youngest of the nine children of Rich
ard and Anna Cleveland. She was born at
Fayetteville, New York, and whilst still
small, removed, with her parents, to Clin-
ton, and subseq uently to Hollow Patent, a
small place in the vicinity of Utica, where
her father, in 1853, was pastor Of the Pres
byterian Church. During the year, her
father died, leaving Rose an orphan at the
early age of seven. A few years after this,
she was sent to Houghtow's Seminary to re-
ceive her education, and there distinguished
herself for her efficiency, graduating with +,
honors. Her address, ,"Origlnal People,"
met with an enthusiastic reception during
the graduating exercises. She became one
of the teachers of her alma MATER and after
continuing thus for two years was made
principal of the Institute at Lafayette, In
diana. She subsequently conducted a pri-
vate school in Pennsylvania, and delivered
course of lectures at HoughtoW's Semina-
ry. In 1882 her aged mother died, which,
although most severe blow, enabled her to
give more time TO her literary labors. The
Evangelist, of Elmira, speaks very highly of
Miss Cleveland and her works, and of her
address, the "Altruistic Faith," affirming
that of the addresses delivered at the COL
lege for the preceding twenty-five years,
it was second to none, and in respect to its
application to the wants of the female stu
dent, far superior to any. In looks, Miss
Cleveland reminds one somewhat of Anna
Dickinson, perhaps because she wears her
hair in the same style. Yet there is moth
ing mansh about her, and in private she is
rather too modest than otherwise. She is
an ardent advocate of all schemes that tend
to elevate her sex, and advocates the rearing
of silk worms as means to this end. Her
book, published by a New York house, is
meeting with success, and she promises to
become one of the best mistresses the White
House has had.
A WONDERFUL BRIDGE.-The land of Ce-
lestials still boasts of the most wonderful
bridge in the world, and this, according to
travellers, is the bridge of Lagang, over an
arm of the sea in China. 1t is built in a
similar way as the bridge of Babylon, but
entirely of stone. Its length is said to be
twenty-six thousand Paris feet, and COM
prises three thousand arches, or rather open
ings of pillars. These are not overspread
with arches, but there are placed above
them large slabs of stone, which form the
roadway, seventy feet broad. The distance
of the pillars is nearly seventy-four and a
half feet, the latter DelnS seventy Ieet nlS1
and fifteen broad, and Strengthened with
stone facings of the form of triangular
prislns, which extend over the whole height
of the pillars up to the traversed slabs. The
latter (of course more than seventy feet
long,) extend in breadth to fifteen feet, and
have nine feet in thickness. The parapet is
balustrade, and every pillar supports
pedestal on which lion, twenty-one feet
long and made of one block of marble, is
placed.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.

AS Mr.. w. s. Kennedy, the historian of
the locomotive, says, popular prejudice has
caused the death of many of the best en-
gineers in the country. The reference is to
the mistaken notions of an ignorant public,
who would have an engineer, in case OF ac-
cident, commit suicide after his obvious du-
ty has been fully performed.
the most careful of regulations. Engineers
themselves confess to a touch of fatalsm in
this respect. A mistaken telegram, sleepy
switchman, even worn tie, may, at any
time plunge the engineer into eternity. A
simple remark of an engineer, the other day
expresses the sensation best: 81 can sit back
on my seat and enjoy the ride with the old
engine running fifty miles an hour and
not feel a touch of nervousness, but know
just the same that death is running along
side all the time"
Whenever these periodical collisions oc-
cur, and the sickening details are spread
out for public delectation, there is usually a
mournful pean Of appreciation raised over
the dead engineer, even if he be the cause
of the accident, who was found lying under
the engine with one hand on the lever. On
the other hand, the engineer, who seeing
the inevitable, opened throttle and sand
box, jammed on the brakes and then jump
ed for the sake of the dear little ones at
home, is popularity condemned as chicken
hearted coward, who has proved unfaithful
to his trust. A more unfair and unjust con-
demnation could not be made. With the
throttle wide open, the the brakes harnessed
down to their hardest work, and the sand
box wide open to check to the utmost the
whirl of the great driving-wheels, the mas
ter Of the engine has done his most against
disaster, and this done, his next duty is
self-preservation.
Exceptional conditions will of course sug--
gest themselves where such an act would
not be praiseworthy but heroic; but, gen.
orally speaking, the engineer who sticks to
doomed engine either because he thinks
it safer, or from lack of presence of mind,
or because he willingly throws away his
life, is only in degree less foolish than the
inspired lunatic who leaps from the Brook
lyn Bridge.
There has been many heroic deed done
by simple engineer in overalls and jump
er, and there have been plenty of instances
where voluntary risk Of life on the part of
q courageous railroad man has saved hun
dreds from a dreadful death. The escape
of the Gloucester Express last summer
through the quickness of a discharged en-
ploye of the Eastern Railroad is not yet for
gotten. But because these men are worthy
Of all praise, it is not just that comdemna-
tion should be meted out to the engineer
who jumps at the moment of collision any
more than to the keeper of powder mag
azine who would leave it when it was hope
lessy on fire.-C0nanerciM Bulletin.

THE DEPTH OF SLEEP.-Two of Vier-
ordt's pupils, Moninghoff and Piesbergen,
have made the depth of sleep the subject of
an investigation. They worked upon the
principle that the depth of sleep is proper
tional to the strength of sensory stimulus
necessary to awaken the sleeper-that is, to
call forth some decisive sign of awakened
consciousness. AS a sensory stimulus they
made use of the auditory sensation produc-
ed by dropping a lead ball from a given
height. The strength of the stimulus was
reckoned in accordance with some recent
investigations of Veirordt, as increasing,
not directly as the height, but as the O.5O
power of the height For perfectly heal
thy man, the curve which they give shows
that for the first hour the slumber is very
light after one hour and fifteen minutes
the depth of sleep increases rapidly, and
reaches its maximum point at one hour ana
forty-fve minutes the curve then falls
quickly to about two hours and fifteen MIN
utes, and afterward more gradually. AT
about four hours and thirty minutes there
is a second small rise, which reaches it's
maximum at five hours and thirty minutes,
after which the curve again gradually ap-
proaches the base line until the time of
awakening. Experiments made upon per-
sons not perfectly healthy, or after having
made some eXertion, give curves OF differ
ent form.-INedicM Adrocate.
WHAT KILLED PRESIDENT HARRISON.
There's President Harrison who died SO
soon after he got into the White House.
They all say he died from excitement, ner-
vous prostration and all that. But the
man who waited on him said that he died
from too much dinner. "He had been in
the White House but few days when he
told the waiter he had brought from 1ndi-
ana to get him what he called a regular
old fashioned North Bend dinner. That
was Mr.. Harrison's home in Indiana, and
his order meant cabbage, picked, pork,
fresh roast pork, peas, cucumbers and sweet
potatoes, With corn-meal fritters for des-
sert. "That was on day that Mr. Web
ster had a long talk with him. Mr.. Web
ster was in his Cabinet, and he said: "Har-
rison, if these office seekers don't kill you
that dinner will" Well, sir, he never saw
we'll moment after that dinner. He had
indigestion, headaches and swimming in
his head, and they say his mind wasn't
right till he died. 1t might have been
something else, but l believe it was that
dinner that caused his death.

THE NINE LIVES OF A CAT.-Of the cat
it is commonly said that it has nine lives.
By this saying nothing very definite is
meant beyond the opinion that under va
rious kinds of death, the cat lives much lon
ger than other animals that have to be killed
by violent means. When any question is
asked of the police or of other persons who
have to take the lives of lower animals they
tell you without exception, according to my
experience, that the cat is the most difficult
to destroy of all domestic animals, and that
it endures accidental blows and falls with an
immunity that is quite a distinguishing
characteristic. The general impression con-
veyed in these views is strictly correct up to
certain and well-marked degree. BY the
lethal death, the value Of the life of the cat
is found to be, at the least, three times the
worth of the dog. In all the cases l have
seen in which the exactest comparisons were
made, the cat outlived the dog. A cat and
dog of the same ages being placed IN lethal
chamber, the cat may with perfect certain
ty, be predicted to outlive the dog. The
iethal chamber being large enough to hold
both the atand the dog, the vapor inhaled
by the animals being the same, with every
other condition identical, this result, as an
experimental truth, may be accepted with
out cavil. The differences, always we'll
marked, are sometimes much larger than
would be credible in the absence Ofevidence.
l have once seen cat, falling asleep in a le-
thai chamber, in the same period as dog,
remaining breathing, literally nine times
longer, for the dog died within five minutes
and the cat not only continued to breathe,
in profoundest sleep, for forty-tive minutes,
but would have been recoverable by simple
removal from the vapor into fresh air, if it
had been removed while yet one act OF
breathing continued. This, however, was
exceptional, because the cat, in the same le-
thai atmosphere as the dog, does not as
rule, breathe more than thrice as long; Z. e.,
if the dog ceases to breathe in four minutes,
the cat will cease in from ten to twelve min
utes after falling asleep.-Popular Science

with unscientifc weapons, killed himself;
but if he also had possessed rockets, ne
would have fought on. No men. not even
Prussian soldiers or English sailors, will
face shells without shells to throw back:
but when they have shells, they face the
enemy's shells as bravely as they did the
old round shot. The methods OF war are
changed by science, but war is not eXtin-
guished. Suppose it true that able chemists
and mechanicians could invent a method
of throwing an asphyxiating vapor on
sleeping army, what would be the result?
First, the adoption of some protective cover
ing, such as iron clad huts for sleeping in;
next, the adoption of a method of encamp-
ing which spread the army over surface
too great or too uneven to be reached and
next, the use of similar mechanicians and
chemists as the assailing force. Huxley
would march with his fishermen to choke
Tyndall with his Alpine climbers. War
would then consist mainly of efforts to OBJ
tain advantageous positions, from which
showers of death would be thrown, but war
would not cease. Forlorn hopes would be
organized among chemists or mechanicians
as easily as among soldiers, enormous re-
wards would be paid to the new warriors,
and nations would fight each other as brisk
ly as ever.-LOnolOD Spectator.
