An Oil Pond.

A singular spot exists in the Gun OF
Mexico, some ten miles to the SOUTHWARK
and westward of Sabine Pass, and al
most directly in the track of vessels en-
Gagged in the lumber trade between Cal
weston and Callasieu, La 1t is nothing
more than large space, mile or SO III
diameter, upon the surface OF the sea,
which looks like all the rest OF the Gun
during calm weather, but when the wlnd
freshens to gale and the waters about
it become agitated, takes on a reduish
color and becomes thick and uuudy;
The Dlace has been called the ''oll
nond.n from the reason that while there
NAV be a tremendous sea running all
around the place, within the circle OF
surf the water is comparatively qulet,
and vessels which otherwise would be
blown ashore or swamped can there rlde
ont the heaviest storms, and have done
so in hundreds of instances. The water
is about twelve feet deep, and pole
can be pushed twenty-five or thirty teet
through the soft and peculiar mud 1orm-
ING the bottom. This mud Is dlllerent
from ANYTHING on the coast-of soapy
character and of remarkable cleansing
properties, being often used to cleanse
the decks of coasting vessels. The OIL
which renders the surface of ''the pond"
so smooth is supposed to come from the
mud at the bottom, and many think
there are deposits of petroleum not lar
from the surface. However, Providence
has provided safe shelter for small
craft out in the open sea, for the "oil
nond. " once reached during gale, is
lust as safe as a vessel being under the
| lee of a wharf in any harbor.

Didn't Go to Get his Face Washed.

At the down town end of East Broad
way, saws the New York Sun, is large
barber shop in which boys, and some
times an engaging Italian woman, lather
the face, and barber scrapes off the
soap and bristles. Yesterday all the
chairs were occupied but one, and all the
BARRIERS and most Of the boys were en-
gagged, when a man in need of shave
went in and threw himself into the empty
chair. The disingaged boy lathered him
copiously, and looked around for bar
Der. but every barber was busy. So the
bov went over the mans face again, and
left the soap half an inch thick upon 1t.
The customer breathed very hard as the
lad looked about him once more, and
beckoned to another boy who carefully
rubbed all the soap off with rough
towel, and put on another coat.
The shave was apparently as far off as
ever when the woman hustled upylooked
with an eye of indignant contempt at
the second boy, and in twinkling had
all the soap off and third layer on
But still no barber was ready, so she
called the first boy, and smilingly
made remark in Italian to the victim
Again the soap was rubbed off by boyisf
hands, and another lathering was abou
to be put on when the customer struggled
out
''By thunder" he said, eff you thinl
came here to Aet my face washed your
mistaken"
And he went unshaved into the street
followed by the protestations of five bar
bers suddenly disengaged.

store, who was smart and quick and a

got upity and bigoty, and put on conse-

associates that the concern couldn't pos
sibly get along without him. So the old

Germ couldn't possibly survive it, and

A STORY OF GENERAL GRANT.

"Iremember going up the Red Sea on
one occasion when gentleman who IS
now connected with the government OF
AlIahabad, colonel of engineers, whom
I came to know quite well as COM
pao1,o7s du g0yage, said TO me that he had
read a great deal of the American war
and was anxious to have some converse

tics. WELL | said, General Grant
does not like to talk on those subjects,

General has one curious faculty, that
if YOU make any mistake in his presence

Colonel came. The General was smok-
inc and gazing upon the sea Int up by
the moonshine. and at the cold gray
shores of the Red Sea. l opened the
conversation by describing to the Coionei
the battles of Champion Hills and glcks-
burg, and describing it wrongly. Grant,
who sat next to me, turned around, and
by and by got nervous. Flnally no
could stand my description no longer,
and said, 4 beg your pardon, but you
are mistaken about that, and then took
up the conversation. The Colonel asked
two or three questions, and Grant dlS-
covered at once that he was talking with
a soldier who wanted to know. l With
drew from the party The next morn
inc the Colonel said to me- i want to

MOTHERS OLD HYMN.

Through the trembling folds of the twilight
dim
can hear the strain of that grand old hymn
Which mother, whose heart is now still and
cold,
Sang amid her cares in the days of old.
There was something about it, underlined,
That charmed into quiet the troubled mind
Der the bleak hearts breathed with a spirit
bland,
Like warm south wind DER q frozen land.
And crowning it all with a strange, deep chord,
Like the throb of the heart of the blessed Lord,
That shed through the fainting soul abroad
sense of the pitying love of God.
The songs of the singers that fame has
crowned
In the float of the years are lost and drowned;
9'sauotbass o osssaEpsa--ss pause and tone,
Wiz the growth Of time has the sweeter grown.
And it seems not out of the past to come
An echo only of lips that are dumb
But down from the home Of the glorifed
1t has always come since the day she died.
We know not the music that spirits hear
As earth is receding and heaven drawn near,
But treading deaths valley of shadows dim
ask but to hear of my mothers hymn.

The original autograph love letters

from one to three pages each. They
are said to presents complete picture,
If painful, of the unfortunate poets

life. The comparison between the first
of the series, written at Shanklin, Isle
of Wight, in the summer of 1879, and
the last, indited on the eve of his depart
ure from London for Rome, is singular
ly striking. The former is full of
hope, while the other seems to have
been written in despair, its concluding
sentence being: ''The world is too

On June /, says the PHILADELPHIA
Times. the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will Introduce new air sys-
tenn of signals in their passenger trains,
to take the place of the bell rope now in
use. When the air brake was first used
it was discovered that the pipes were
too small, and larger ones were put in
These old pipes will now be used to
signal from the conductor to the en-
gineer when the former wishes to stop
the train. The pipes will communicate
with q small whistle in the engineers
cab, and the signal will be given by
conductor pulling rope, which will
hang on one side of the car. The main
advantage in this arrangement Will be
that it will be more difficult for the
passengers to stop the train. Trains
are quite often stopped by some excited
or intoxicated passengers, and acci-
dents are likely to occur when such
thing happens.
Jefferson Democrat: 1--WE presume
that printers are selfish, just like other

so little was said in the papers about
employing convict labor in competi-
ton with honest men, till printing
office was set up in the Missouri peni-
Tertiary. The matter is now brought
home to the fraternity, and they can
feel it like other honest mechanics have
been feeling it for years. The State
Journal Company have set up print
ing office in the penitentiary, and are
competing with free-labor printing of
fees in the line of job-work, including
legal blanks and books. We under
stand that they have an agent out
soliciting orders. We do not suppose
any county officer of this county will
give him any patronage, and hence
have no threats to make. But, while
being determined that We will not COM
plete with convict labor, we are i'm
pressed with a sense of our duty to
other honest laborers; and, while we
would not have the convicts supported

Were twenty-three State associations of
Republicans in Washington. That
year Congress passed into the control
of the Democrats, and, as aparty meas
ure, the appropriation bills were so
framed in the interest of reform as to
force the dismissal of 63o subordinate
officials in the departments. The
chairmen of the twenty-three associa-
tons formed themselves into a commit
tee and prepared complete roll of
Democrats in each department, gather
ing up the Information through the Sc
cret WORK of their associations. The
Cabinet officers were furnished with
the names of Democrats under them,
and in nearly every division or bureau
where the Democratic Congress had
cut down the clerical force the victims
were selected from the black-listed
Democrats. With only two or three
exceptions these chairmen are still in
Government employ. Mr.. Manning
has obtained the list and the positions
occupied. 1t need hardly be added
that not one OF those chairman will
survive, officially, to tell the tale.
