Founder of Great Commonwealth.
For the first time in forty years Colo

not we'll known to the present genera

thousand men and colonize il. !
landed there the 10th of March, 1847,
and have never been twelve hours
away from it until I started on this
visit. Then San Francisco hadn't a

self who named it San Francisco.
There were only tbirty-four houses
and about two hundred and fifty in

the property amounts to S195, O0O,-

AFTER DEATH.

AT first when my face shall be changed, and !
To dwell in silence that can not be
broken,
A few whom love will lament me, know,
And eyes will be dim when my name shall
be spoken
II any have blamed me, their ccnsure will
cease,
For when the fun light of eternity flashes
There's nothing to do but to whisper of peace.
And no one can war with Il handful OF
ashes.
But o, to be gone from the home that was
mine,
With no more share in its joys or its sor-
Ny part in its plans to forever resign,
No thought of to-day and no care for to-
morrow!
All this is beyond PIE. How strange it will be
To go on journey that has no returning,
With year aftpf year speeding on without me
10 Giadde, or grieye when the sunsets arc
burning!
The children will lean their light weight on
the stone,
To spell out my name, and to question and
wonder
What Ills to lie there in the darkness alone
Through moonlight and starlight and roll
ing of thunder.
Int then in Il moment some butterfly gay
Will hover above them and Chde their de-
laying
With beautiful wings it will lure them away
OAnd they will forget all the stone has been
saying.
But shall lie pat entity there i'm NV place.
The slumbor a part OF my life and M story;
Ill some time the morning VIII flash in my
face,
And shall awake to its gladncss and glory.

THE RUG CRAZE.
Interesting Information Concerning the
Products of Persian Weavers.

| Interesting Information Concerning the
Products of Persian Weavers.
1.-The present style of decorating the
| interior of dwellings, said Broad
way dealer, .'has done much toward
increasing the business in Eastern rugs
and carpets. Ten years ago Persian
and Smyrna rugs were only in use
among the wealthiest people, but now
a-days families of moderate income
manage to buy one or two, even if they
do come higher than domestic
''Do the Eastern rugs last longer than
those of American and English manu-.
facture?' the dealer was asked.
''In one sense they do. have seen
rugs made in Persia over century
ago that still retain their beautiful col
or. These rugs always look we'll to
the last bit. If the colors fade at all.
and they will sometimes in the case
where aniline dyes are employed, the
effect is still more harmonious. Age
only softens and beauties the color
ing.
'But,n said the dealer, ''yOu must
bear in mind that in this country we
are harder on carpets than the natives
of Persia. When they come home they
always take off their shoes and put on
slippers, often with felt solcs, which
can do no injury to the delicate text
ure of the rugs"
care the Persian rugs ever used by
the natives for any other purpose than
covering the iloor?'
"Yes; the finer grades are used to
cover divans and tables. and often az
porticres. The best rugs are seldom,
| if ever, laid on the floor, except in the
palaces and dwellings of the nobility.
| There is one kind of rug made in Persia
that YOU seldom see in this country. l
mean the rugs made of silk. They are
very costly, and run in price from what
would be five hundred dollars in our
money upward"
The dealer continued: Here is a
felt carpet from Persia. They are not
very popular in this country, as yet.
but there is no telling when popular
taste will change in their favor. Ii
people only knew what they were about
they would lay in supply of these
carpets for cold weather. They are
much thicker than any. other kind,
and delightfully."- soft to walk on.
''How are the felt carpets made?'
1.-The process employed is peculiar
one, and differs from any other methods
of manufacture. The operator makes
Il frame of the thickness intended. OF
digs out place in the hard clay floor
of the depth and size required. He
lays the hair for the rug in this sort of
mold, as you might call it, and beats it
into cohesive mass by the use ofwooden
malets. The design in coiored threads
is then beaten into this surface.
care the rugs made by this process
artstic?'
Some of them introduce very
pretty effects. The designs are
naturally plain, but they are principally
noted for being warm and comfortable.
They last a long while and present a
clean appearance until they are worn
out. -Minneapolis Com mercial Buile
