II Ia sad to read the account of the
destruction of Charleston, by the recent
earthquake. All the worst reports, we
egret to say, are verified, and 1t is
feared that the destruction OF both life
aud property.will prove more serious
than was ct first estimated. An imper-
fect survey OF the ruins places the loss
of property alone ut between thirty and
fortv million Of dollars. Two-thirds OF
the city, 1t is said, has been actually
wrecked and ruined, while there is no
actual basis yet for the calculation OF
the extent Of the loss of human lives.
One report says 1t will take several
days to ascertain the extent Of the NOR.
tally, the inference being thai many
persons are believed to be buried among
the ruins. That this should be 30 seems
probable, rs the severeet shocks oc-
CURED at an hour when nine-tenths OF
the women and children OF the city had
probably retired for the night.
1t has been demonstrated already
that wooden houses are the best TO with
stand the shock Of an earthquake
They will stand Q great deal more oscll
lation before they go to pieces. scores
of them In California, where earta-
quakes have prevailed, are said to have
been turned completely over without
falling apart. All the indications go to
show that the earthquake at Charleston
was more violent than any that have
occurred In California since the Ameri
cans have become possessed OF 1t. The
complete destruction OF the churches II
an evidence of the duration OF tn
shocks, for In the worst earthquake
that ever visited San Francisco, moth
ing Of that kind ever happened, thougl
some three-story brick buildings wer
ruined. In the case with Charleston
the destruction appears to have beef
general and almost complete, and 1t
not surprising II the suffererers still
find 1t difficult to realize what has be
fallen them and fall to recover equa
nimity in the face OF recurring shocks
The destruction Of Charleston will n
doubt check the erection Of lofty build
ipgs throughout the country, and 6
the same time stimulate the erection {
wooden ones at the risk OF increase
insurance.

BERLIE IS NOW the third great city
OF Europe, and according to all &C.
counts the worst. q, the one million
two hundred thousand population, one
hundred and fifty thousand are de-
pendent upon charity. Divorces are
fifteen per cent. Of all the marriages
solemnized. Only two per cent. Of the
population attends church. There we're
atty eight thousand funerals in the
city last year, of which thirty thousand
were held without any religious cere
monies whatever.

IT WAS many years before the Will
mington and y orthern Railroad Com
peny found suitable place at this end
of the line for sum mer pic-nics and ex-
cursions. Joanna Heights and French
Greek Falls supplied the want at the
upper end, but neither Point Lookout
nor the Elysian Fields were popular at
the lower end. The company now,
no viewer, has struck solid rock in the
selection OF Birmingham Park, 1t fills
the bill in every particular as frst-
class picnic and excursion ground, and
grows more popular the more 1t Ia
visited.

fricate or ornamental they cost be-
tween thirty and fifty dollars. After
the carving is done the stone is pol
ished first with a lump of lead or zinc,
and then with tripoli, rouge and putty,
after which the stone is examined with
glass of great power, and any slight
defect remedied. The work is then
ready for the jeweler.
"What is incrusted work."
"Stone-incrusting is an old method
that has sprung into favor again dur
ing the last few years. The design or
letters are cut into the onyx and pure
leaf gold or fine platinum hammered
into the cuts until flush with the sur
face. When properly done this work
is very beautiful and lasting"
sis there any thing new in your line
for the coming season."
Nothing of Importance. Here is
the only thing that can be termed a
novelty. We call it the crazy-quilt
combination stone. Small fragments
of different colored onyx, cornelian,
tiger-eye and all varieties are &C.
mented together and afterward cut and
polished into ring and pin sizes. In the
one you have in your hand there are
eighteen different varieties. They look
well and are quite novel, so perhaps
there may be run on them when prop
erly brought forward. Chicago Int,

LOVE IN A COTTAGE.


Come from the city to our cottage home
Screened with the honeysuckle's trellised
vines:
Leave for time the dust and glare and
come
Where the dews fall-the sun serenely
Shines
Where morning birds trib each delicious note
That echoes from the hills de and the rocks;
\ There in our scented bower, we'll read
about
THE rise and fall of stocks"
Pshaw! unromantic plodding man, has life
No other aim than that of sordid gain?
Leaves fools TO carry on the sordid strife,
And Ter their musty ledgers rack the BRAIN;
Let us 20 forth where hyacinths unfold
lent
The starry crocus all its wealth of gold
"At thirty-three per cent"
owhat brute and is their then no charm
In clover scented fields, and purllng hills?
Why, there is beauty even in storm,
When 1t is wrestling with the plumed hills,
And when the whispering twilight sets the
seal
OF silence with its cool and quenched light
And to and fro, dim forms are seen to steal
Our chickens every night
OH that had friend with soul attuned
10 the neglected yearnings of my own.
instead OF barbed words that seek to wound,
MY voice would find sympathetic tone;
Together we would roam o er lawn and mead,
AND start the thrushes from their leafy
screens,
Where our united souls could love, and feed
ION bacon cooked with green's"
