MILFORD. DEL, FRIDAY, OCTOBE
Song Of the South Wind.

Through fragrant pines sweep along,
And chant for them lightly song,
Grand and triumphant, sweet and strong,
Like organ notes heard faraway,
In some cathedral old and grny,
When vespors tells the close of day.
stir the ripples on tho lake;
The dancing wavelets softly break
Against the cool white sand, and make
A broken melody that seems
Like birdlings, chipping in their dreams,
Ere lights the cast with dawn's faint CLEANS
bring the min clouds from the sea-
The shadows fall on lake and lea;
The thirsty plants nod thanks TO me,
And yield me treasures Of perfume,
The sweet mementos Of their bloom,
To bear away to elimes Of gloom,
To tell the Northland's prisoned flowers
Biding the slow, dark winter hours,
While chill and gray the dull sky lowers;
"Long though your time Of waiting be,
And firm the CHAINS that fetter ye,
Lose not your hope-ye shall be free %

Keeping the head perfectly clean is
a great aid to health. A distinguished
physician. who has spent much Of his
time at quarantine. said that person
whose head was thoroughly washed
every day rarely ever took contagious
diseases, but where the hair was al
lowed to become dirty and matted it
was hardly able to escape infection.
Many persons find speedy relief for
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly in weak soda water. We
have known cases almost wholly cured
in ten minutes by this simple remedy.
A friend finds it the greatest relief in
case Of ''rose cold" the cold symptoms
entirely leaving the eyes after one
thorough washing of the hair. The
head should be thoroughly dried after
ward, and avoid draughts of air for a
little while.

the same position with reglesas V the
earth, and always the same distance
from it, the eclipses would always be
of the same size. But as these condi-
tions vary, so do the appearances Of
the eclipse. For instance, let us sup
pose that at the time Of an eclipse the
center of the moon happens to pass d.
rect over the center of the sun. If the
moon is near the point in the orbit
which is at the least distance from the
earth her apparent diameter win ex-
coed that of the sun, and the latter will
be quite hidden from view, and we
have what is known as total eclipse.
OF course. even in this case, the eclipse
will only appear total to the observers
near the line joining the centers Of the
sun and moon. II, however, the three
bodies occupy similar positions, but
the distance between the earth aud
moon is greater, the whole Of the sun
is not covered by the moon, and the
eclipse is annuIar. If the moon, how
ever, does not pass centrally over the
sun, It can only hide part Of the lat
ter on one side or the other, and the
eclipse is said to be partial AS the
moons orbit is quite elliptical, the dis
lance Of that body from the earth
varies greatly. Its least distance is
22l,000 miles. its greatest 259,60O ]
miles.

In II n Death Trape

DIVERSE OPINIONS CONCERNING THE GOVERN
AENT PRINTING oFFICE-THE KNIGHTS OF
LABOR URGING STEPS TO PREVENT A CATAS-
SAYS.
The Knights Of Labor, Assembly 3,579e
passed a resolution at their meeting Saturday
night earnestly requesting the proper authori-
ties to take such immediate steps as will secure
the thousands Of employees of the Government
Printing office against the probability OF a
shocking catastrophe, because the present
building is liable to fall at any moment and
crush the inmates to DEATH" This action was
the result of information claimed to be had of
Corner of North Can o me stret unied at ias
as the Government Printing office.
Public Printer Rounds, in reply to q STAR re-
that the building was unsafe, said that it was
the first he had heard Of it,, He said the build
ing was very much crowded, butft always had
time during the many years 1t had been occu-
pied; "If did not think 1t safe,' he said, Il
would not risk my bones by staying in 1t
some OF its weight. Congress has appropriated
money to build q store house. and when it is
completed much of the weighty matter now
that"
"Have you ever heard any Of the employees
complain that the building was unsafe" the re-
81 never have" was the reply
What motive can you assign for the re-
pOTE
"None"
Employees in the building say: "They can't
make us resign in that way" and then add the
only motive they can think of, that the knights
oflabor could have had In passing the resolu.
tlon was to bring about the construction of an
other building, SO as to give work to somebody.
The opinion expressed at the office of the fire
department. is that the old portion of this office
fronting on II street is in reality a death trap,
and that In case of a fire no fireman would like
to enter It without positive command of his
superior officers.

The H0Zen Trial.


REPRIMANDED.
The record of the Hazen court martial was re-
ceived by Secretary Endicott, Saturday after
noon, only a few minutes previous to his depar-
ture for New England. The record was, there
fore, locked up until his return, when it will be
referred to the President for action. The sem
tence of the court is a reprimand, which, if
approved by the President, will be admin
istered publicly, in general order by the
Secretary Of War. in the name Of the
President The request of Mr.. Mackey, Gen
Hazens counsel, that he be furnished with q
copy OF the findings before they have received
the action OF the President will not be granted
as it is considered wholly irregular. The article
OF war upon which he bases his request is in-
tended, 1t is said. to permit the accused to have
q copy of the proceedings and sentence after
they have become final by having received the
action of the President, but never before. The
published intfmation that Secretary Lincoln
packed the Hazen court is refuted by the fact
that the President personally selected the men,
