A YaluSble Looking-GIoss.
LOnSon Truth,

The other day, in poking about in a
bric-a-brac shop, fell upon curious OBJ
ject of virtu, writes Paris correspon-
dent. It was the lookink-glass present
ed to the emperor of China by George
Ill, through Lord Mccartney. The con-
struction is analogous to that of toilet
mirror, such as beauties of the early part
of the century used to sit before when
sticking black patches on their rough
faces. The frame is in carved ebony of
a fine grain, and is fastened to stand
with drawers of the same wood. never
saw glass of finer quality. The plate is
about the size of a quarto page and is
beveled at the edge, which is surrounded
by an ornament of gilt bronze formed by
serpentine lines intersecting each other
at regular distances. At the back of the
mirror, which is made to swing round,
there is an enameled painting on porce-
lain the size of the glass, representing
Agriculture seated on a rock, overlooking
a generous country like that visible from
Richmond hill. have in point of exc
cution rarely seen finer piece of en-
ameled porcelain. The gilt bronze orna-
ment is carried up around a medallion
above the frame of the mirror in which
is set a portal, also on porcelain, of
George III, with behind it, another of
lady, who I take to be the princess dowa-
ger of Wales. The king is very young,
and the foce, which gives me the impress
ion of truthful portrait, is fair, ingen-
uons, and yet with a kind of lurking sly
ness which one often sees in the physiog-
Monies or native Germans. It is made
up of big, blue eyes, on the surface and
rather engaging, a thick heavy nose of
acquiline type, and full lips. Chin and
forehead fly back. The hair is powdered
and frizzed and the coat is of white silk
with gold fringe. A lacs frilI falls over
blue ribbon of the garter. The lady
on the diverse side looks good-natured
confding soul, with a fresh complexion.
Her enbonPoint is saxon. She, too, has
a wretched cerebral development. The
dealer in whose possession this piece Of
bric-a -brac was told me that he bought it
of an officer who had been at the loot of
the summer palace. The price asked for
it was 10000 francs.

model of the telescope outside the build
ing. This model is of the size of the pro-
posed Lick telescope, and is fifty-seyen
feet long. These two lenses are set six
inches apart in their iron frame, which
has openings to allow of the glasses being
properly cleaned on each side: Lenses
and frame together weight 700 pounds.
While everything now appears to be
perfect, some slight defect in the glass
that has not yet appeared, or an accident,
may render useless all the labor of months.
When completed the great telescope will
be placed in the observatory on Mount
Hamilton, in Santa Clara County, Cal.
Mr.. James Lick left 100000 in his will
for the purpose of constructing the nee
essary buildings and 'for a telescope
superior to and more powerful than any
yet made"
An astronomer has stated that this
telescope will bring the moon, 100000
miles distant, within, apparently, hun
dred miles of the beholder. It will cost
100000, and will be covered by steel
dome seventy-fve feet in diameter, weigh
ing nlnety-fve tons. Besides the OBJ
servatory are many other buildings, con-
tanning all the valuable instruments nee
essary for complete establishment to
carry out Mr.. Llck's intentions. The
citizens of Santa Clara County have built
a road to the summit of the mountain, at
a cost of $4,000.

GRANDEUR MOST TERRIBLE.

Details of the Most Destructive Volcanic
Eruption in the Worlds History-A Sea of
Fire 100 Miles Long and Twenty Miles in
Breadth-Whole Villages Engulfed Great
Loss of Life.
SAN Francisco Telegram.-The steam
er Alameda, which arrived to-day from
Australia, brings particulars of the fear
ful volcanic eruption in New Zealand last
month, and which is among the most de-
structiye in the worlds history. The first
reports of the volcanic disturbances came
from lauraguary in Oakland Lake district.
Inc natives of that district were sharply
awakened from sleep at 2 o'clock In the
morning by repeated vivid flashes of
hghtnlng, which continued at rapid in
teryals up to a. M, when tremendous
earthquake occurred, followed quickly by
others. The shocks were so violent that
people jumped from their beds and fled
for thels lives in their night clothes. max
ing no effort to save or take away any
thing with them except their children. The
earthquakes continued to follow one
anoter IN quick succession up to a. M,
when aden-colored cloud was observed
advancing from the south, spreading out
until it covered the sky. While still NOV
ing 1T burst with a sound of thunder, and
shortly afterward showers of fine dust be-
gan falling. Accounts from other points
state that Mount Tarewera was the first
volcano to break forth, and hardly were
the flames seen issuing from its crater
than the entire Paeroa range of noun
talns belched forth in sympathy hurting
flame, burning lava, and stones over the
surrounding country. For the first time
III tradition the extinct volcano Eura-
peaha was awakened into activity. The
entire country to the extent of 12O miles
long and 20 in breadth was nothing but a
flame and hot, crumbling soil which in
places rose to height of 1000 feet can
ped at the heighest point by the Tekopha
gelser, said to have been the grandest in
the world.
During all this time showers of dust
continued to fall, until it became so dense
as to make the day dark as night, and not
until the second day did the dust cease
falling. 1t was noticed that the dust
emitted strong sulphurous smell. Num-
erous small native villages were totally
destroyed. Wairea was covered to q depth
OF ten feet with dust and ashes. Ra-
thomanaha was completely engulfed, as
were also some other small villages. One
hundred and twenty persons are known
to have lost their lives, among whom were
several English residents. The loss of
cattle starved to. death from the destruc-
ton of pastures by the dust is very great,
and great distress exists throughout all
the Auckland Lake district
One old man, chief at Ratorna, was
dug out alive after having been buried in
ashes 1O4 hours. Every effort was made
to save the lives of others, but in most
cases where bodies were found they were
dead. At the date of the departure of
the steamer Almeda from Auckland, the
volcanoes were still very active and the
temperature of the hot lakes was increas-
ing.

A Ten-Year-OId Heroine.

Three months ago, writes Cambridge,
Mass, correspondent of the New York
Herald, Mrs. Edward Barry, wife of day
| labOrer on the Fitchburg railroad, living
In the Belmont district, died from hard
work and exposure, leaving five children
to the care of her kind-hearted though
rather dissipated husband. The eldest
child, Nellie, 10 years of age, has acted as
housekeeper since the death of her moth
and has managed to clothe the backs and
supply the mouths of her four younger
brothers from the $1.50 day wages of
their father.
| Last night it was very hot In their cot
tage, and Nellie, after putting the little
folks to bed, and singing and tanning
them to sleep, put her fathers supper on
the back of the stove, and sat down to
wait for his return. He was late. The
clock on the mantle licked off the hours
and brought 8 o'clock, but no father
Then Nellie remembered that he had been
drinking since the Fourth and went out
to seek him. Failing to find him she re-
turned, tired and worried over her heavy
cares. She went to the little heated
chambers to look at her sleeping broth
ers, and then resumed her place in the
chair, determined to stay awake until her
ldGu0E CdulG, DuU Gue u0db, COuuDIH6u WlUH
her hard work, was too much for the child,
and she was soon sleeping with her head
upon her arm.
An hour later she was awakend by the
sound of falling timbers, and springing
to her feet, she saw the whole end Of the
house on fire, while clouds of smoke filed
every room. What she did first she can
not tell. All she knows is that when her
first neighbor arrived he met her coming
out of the burning house with the last Of
her little brothers in her arms. Her eld-
est brother, Jimmy, says she came up
stairs, and, taking them one by one, car
ried them out in safety. Her face is
burned and her hair is scorched, but 9TH
erwise she is unhurt. The three smaller
ones-aged 2, 4 and years-were not
awakened until the arrival of their tipsy
father, who reeched home with the fire
company.
The premises caught in an adjoining
barn, probably from an engine spark, and
spread to the house. The little heroine
and her brothers were taken to the house
of an aunt, in the Dublin district, and to-
day she has been receiving so many con-
gratulations that her little head is nearly
turned. Several wealthy people who heard
of her deed, have made arrangements to
give her an education, thinking so brave
a girl should have an opportunity to ele-
vate herself.

The Decline of Dan cling.
Pail Mall Gazette

There has never been known a London
season with so few dances. At homes,
with or without music, receptions with
drawlngroom entertainments have been
plentiful enough, but the old fashion pail
seems to have become thing of the past.
No doubt the explanation has been the
want of money; but it is not the only one.
A bad and selfish habit has lately grown
up in London society of not introducing.
1t is very simply way out of what is
sometimes troublesome social embar-
rassment; where introducing is the rule,
the hosts have a fatiguing night unless
the party is very small and the guests all
know each other. 1t is very much easier
to do nothing at all, and let the guests, as
Mrs. Proudie says, GROUP themselves
But young ladies who wont to waltz are
not content merely to group themselves.
They prefer being coupled to being group
ed, and so another fashion has crept in to
assist the selfish or gauche party-givers.
This was for the girls to bring their own
partners with them. 1t succeeded for a
time, but not entirely. Many old fashion
ed persons preferred to ask there own
guests. They had kind of feeling that
there rooms were not assembled rooms,
and that they ought to know the names,
or at least the appearance, of the guests
who came to their houses. The crush &C.
cordingly superseded the ball. Society
has become stupid, and unless hostesses
will break through a bad habit and attend
to their duties we shall soon ser dancing.

Improvement in the Iron Industry.
st, Louis GLobe-Democrat

The steel, rail manufacturers of the
country find such an improved demand
for their wares that they have agreed to
increase the stipulated production so as
to bring the total for the year up to l.
100000 tons. This will be a larger out
put than that of any previous year. The
production of 1882, when railroad build
ing had reached its heighest- point, was
1904 1892 tons. Since that time, up to
present year, the annual output has been
steadily decreasing. The improvement
in the iron industry also has been unex-
pectedly great since the strikes in the
building trades ended. These are encour-
aging evidences of the revival of bust
ness. With fair crops assured, and a bet
ter demand at advanced prices abroad
for our cereals than we have had since
1884, the outlook for the fall and winter
trade is very hopeful.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1886-08-05

Then, as she shuddered alone in the
night-for all the family had gone to bed
when she read the ewspaper-Marth cha re-
fected that it might be her own fate to
die in this house as Phil had died, and
that once again Mr.. Bannerman would be
complimented at her expense. Death she
did not fear; she felt it coming, and had
no wish to live; but death in this house
had double terrors. ooh, anywhere but
she faltered, starting
up with tottering footsteps; and not long
afterward Mr.. B. started on his pillow at
hearing the street door slam.
The black river told no tales; it took
the heart-broken girl into it's deep, cold
bed and swept her away beyond reach of
her master and of furter earthly reproach.
When Martha's body was found a fort
night later, far down the river among the
shipping, there was no indication in the
clothes it wore to show that this was the
girl who had been adopted into Chris
tian household.
Mr.. Bannerman always talked of the
runaway as having "relapsed into crime

The Longest Telescope in the World.
Hortfor1 Doc+

Hartford Post.
Passengers out of Boston on the Boston
and Albany Railroad may have noticed
just across the Charles River, at the first
bridge out of the city and opposite Cot
tage Farm Station, a handsome residence
and back Of it low, Handicapped OBJ
servatory, and outside, near it, long
white model Of a telescope, and in the
same yard a two-story brick building.
The building is the factory where the
great Russian telescope was made, as we'll
as many others also famous, and where
work is now going on for the Lick teles-
cope which will be the largest in the
world.
Of the two discs of glass, each one yard
in diameter, for the Lick telescope, the
flint glass has been made a long time,
but the crown glass, although ordered five
years ago, was only received by the
Clarks in September last. It was made
after repeated trials and failures at. an
establishment near Paris, the only one
that could get out such a piece of work.
Each glass is worth $4,000 in the rough,
and they can not be finished before
fall.
At first machinery could do a little
rough grinding, but for months the bare
hand only has been used in applying the
polishing substance, which is rough. The
glasses have now reached stage where
the removal of a small portion of the
surface in the wrong place would ruin
them. They are frequently tested, set IN
a circular iron frame called cell. No
instruments can be used for the test, but
the long experience of the Clarks has
given them a judgement which is uner
ring.
Very soon the tests will be made in the

A MAIDEN'S DREAM.
KATE THOMPSON s1zEK, IN cAssELLs MAGAZINE

No football wakens the mansion
Asleep in the suns warm rays,
The Lady Clare is weary
OF silence and lonely days.
Loves magic of late has stolen
The charm from her life's still ways.
She turns from her book and rises
To gaze through the easement low.
The laDguorous liIy perfumes
Toward her on soft airs blow
White liliesl All, once she loved them,
She gathers red roses now.
Oh, when will the moon be sunset,
And over the green hillside,
And up through the beeches' shadows
The lover she looks for, ride?
And when will his life be ended
And bring the bright life untrieds
While thus she waits in impotence,
Naught guesseth the Lady Clare
That sweet as are Loves red roses,
Full often thorn they bear,
Ard the new life that seems so joyous
May bring with it weight of care.
Perhaps in the years that follow,
w hen cares press heavily
And thorns have pierced through the roses,
Then all her dreaming will be
OF the old sweet life mid the lilies,
Ia maidenhood blithe and free.
