And on her brow his kisses fell like

Her soft cheek flushed her sweet lips

"How long will love yOu :"
Upon her hair she felt hi s fervid breath
And heard the beating of his heart
anear.-
Then raised her eyes and answered.
"Until death,
Thus long I'll love you, dear"
"And only until then Z" amazed he cried,
And loosed her, turning half in scorr
away.
"And then how long wilt hoN love me r

"Forerer and a day!
They said farewell: the wind about hin

And bore to her the echo of his moan.

Across the sea, before the year was dead
From tender lands beneath an Orien

With lips as cold as those of lifeles

With scornful brow and eyes, oft muir

A Grand Prohibition Victory IN
Atlanta.

AIlanLa.
The following special to the Men,
phs Avalanche details one Of the
greatest iriumphs for moral and
economic reform of the day. All
praise to the brave men and women
of Atlanta and Fulton county:
ATLANTA, Nov. 25th,-After the
most exciting election ever held
in the State, Fulton county has
adopted prohibition by a majority
of about 22S out OF poll of 5000
votes. Late last night the excite
ment was so great and the fears OF
trouble so grave that the Gate City
Guards slept on their arms at the
armory, and extra police were on
duty in all parts of the city.
AT 6 o'clock n. m. the colored vo-
tiers who had been locked up In the
various halls were marched to the
different polls, and the battle of the
ballot began in dead earnest. All
day long the best of humor prevail
ed, and the leaders of both sides
were active in taking up all bets
offered. One man had $4,000 in the
pot contingent upon the success OF
Prohibition. The city hall was
surrounded all day by over 5000
persons.
AS night drew near it became
evident that the contest was a hand
to-hsnd affair, and runners were
sent out in every direction to bring
to the polls the lame and the blind
There are IL precincts in the county
only two of which are in the city.
The vote in the country precincts
gave prohibition a majority of $40
North Atlanta gave prohibition 9
majority of IL votes out of a poll o
$500. This left only one precinct tt
hear from, South Atlanta, at which
there was poll of over 5000. 1t was
known to be an anti-prohibitior
stronghold. and all day the wet mer
claimed it by 700, the Prohibitionist,
conceding it by 400. Thus when i
was known the ProhibiLionists cam,
to this precinct with majority o
$50 the utmost excitement prevailed
in the city. 1t the Prohibition con
cession was substantiated it would
give the dry men" majorit,
of $50, and if the claim of the Eve
men" proved true it would go we
by $50.
Everything depended on this pre-
cinct and thousands of men collecle,
around it. When it was announced
that it had gone wet by a majorit,
of only 33l the most intense enLhu
siasm prevailed This gave thu
Prohibitionists the county by ina
Ijority OF 22S and the great figh
ended with q Prohibition victory
The city is in state of The wildes
excitement.
The Prohibitionists are paradins
the streets by the thousands anC
torches and bonfires light the hcav
ems. This is not, however, the enc
of the fight. The Prohibitionist'
declare that not until the State i.
absolute Prohibition territory viii
the fight be stopped.

was found standing on the street the
other day shedding crocodile tears
as large as horse apples because
there were two personal encounters
in Atlanta the day after the election
growing out Of the Prohibition ag.
itation. That's what Prohihibition
brings, he cried out in the agony of
his spirit, and the people should be
ware Of it. Bnt he didn't say any
thing about the three drunken men
who were killed in saloons in other
States on the same day. Neither
did he undertake to prove that gen

down and abolished because a man
is occasionally killed at the polls, as
in the case of Print Matthews. Oh,

DIAMONDS FOR DRILLS.
The Apparatus by Which Deep Rock
Boring Us accomplished.

Diamonds are comparatively cheap now
adays, a rock-driIl manufacturer said to a
reporter, "and the diamond set bits used in
tue diamond drills do not cost as much as
they did. -
Are genuine diamonds used in these drills,
OF are they called diamond drills because the
steel has AN extremely hard temper" the re-
porter ASKED.
Diamonds are used in the drills They
arc chiefly enc and two carat stones. At
present tacy cost about 81 carat They
are IN the roa.h Tie diamond set is hollow
Ii Is u steel thlmAle, having three rows of
diamonds imhedded ia Ii, 81 that the edges
Of those in one rsw project from its face,
while the edges al those in the other two
rows project from the outer and inner
Ueru h arv respectively. The diamonds of
tie inst. mentioned row cut the path OF the
| drill in its forward progress, while those
on the outer and inner periphery of the tool
enlarge the cavity"
"Do the diamonds wear out"
Their edges which come in contact with
| the rock get a little smooth, and then they
are taken ont and reset SO that a fresh edge
is presented
How are the diamond drills worked
by rapid rotation, varying anywhere
| from 400 to 1000 revolutions minute
! There are different machines used for diff
fereat kinds of drilling For deep boring a
machine with q double oscillating cylinder
| engine is used, mounted on an upright or
horizontal tubular boiler The machine has
a screw shaft made Of heavy hydraulic tub
| ing from five to seven feet in longth, with Il
| deep screw cut in the outside. The shaft
also carries a spine, by which it is feathered
| TO the lower sleeve gear. This gear is double,
and connects by its upper teeth with a
| bevccd driving gear, and by its lower teeth
| with q release gear, which is a friction
| gear. and is fitted to the lower end of
the feed shaft, 10 the top of which a gear is
feathered, fitting to the upper gear on the
| screw shaft, which has one or more teeth
| less than the upper gear on the feed shaft,
| whereby a difTerential feed is produced. This
| friction gear is attached to the bottom of the
| feed shaft by q friction nut, producing q
combined diiTerential and FRACTIONAL feed,
| which renders the drill perfectly sensitive to
the character Of the work through which il
| is passing, and maintaining uniform press
| ure. The drill rod, made of heavy lapweId
| tubing, passes through the screw-shaft and is
held firm by a chuck Mt the bottom of the
| screw shaft. To the lower end of this tubu-
lar boring-rod the bit is screwed, and 20 the
upper is watch swivel, TO which connection
is made with & steam pump. You can see
! by this that the machine Is very simple ana
| not likely to get out of order
