Under the Magic Touch of His Hands the heavens Bent to Listen-the hoarse chords muttered like the Retreating Storm, or the electrified keys sang all the twittering songs of all the Birds of Spring at once-the Sun burst through the Riven Clouds-the Moonlight Slept upon the Bank of Violets, and singing Brooks ran MuImuring to the grim-visaged War changed on his Brazen Shield with mimic Thunder Of the Skies, and ali the Clamor of the raging battle shook the ground beneath our feet--the room swan with the brilliant perfection of every Marvellous Conceit that ssprang into living being under This marvel lous Execution, and when He raised Both Feet higher than His Head and brought them down upon the keyboard in the Final Grand Hoopia, knew no more, for I had Swooned at the M Masters Feet.

AN INTERESTING PLAN.

There are in the great city of London more than 250, ,000 women occupied as seamstress- es or needlewomen, whose average earning for long days work is not over one shilling per day; that is, not over $1.5O for weeks work. Thousands ct those engaged in this poorly paid class of service die every year, but the ranks are kept full by fresh acces- sions from the country districts of women who believe they cen do better in Lon don.
 Mir. William Westgarth, who has been studying the problears presented by these sad facts, proposes plan whereby he thinks women can be improved. He would have so- cieties organized for the construction of large buildings as homes for working women, each with great common hall in the cen ter Around this he would have broad bal comics placed, and opening upon these would be a succession of small rooms correspond ing in size and furnishing to the staterooms on a ship. The space allowed to each per son, or to the two or three occupants of a stateroom, would be, necessarily, limited; but he estimates that the cost of sleeping berth under such circumstances would not exceed eighteen cents per week.
 The broad balconies and the large open hall would give to the tenants of such building the space and air needed for com fort ,and when filled with from 5000 to 5000 tenants the building would resemble small city, and each broad balcony well ordered and pleasant street, with the occupants sit ting out and pursuing their work under cheerful circumstances and under social con- ditions which might prove in high degree attractive. He would, moreover, institute 8 house diet, the result of science and ex- perience, of cheap, wholesome and palatable food, believing that if the purchase of food and it's preparation were carried on upon scale indicated by the number of tenants mentioned above, the cost of a much better sustenance than the London working women are now receiving could be obtained at fraction of what they are now compelled to pay.
 This is an odd scheme, but it is interest ing That it would work satisfactorily is not at all certain. Perhaps when it was put in operation the employers of the poor women would make it an excuse for reducing their pay.

The Mexican (Vera Cruz) railroad comPa-
 ny has, in an experience of two years, we'll
 tested steel ties. The road began using steel
 ties in 1884, and has now some 2O,O00 ot
 them on it's bed. So satisfactory has the ex- pertinent been that 40,000 more have been
 ordered from England for use this year, and it is proposed to put in from 40, 900 to 5O,O ,OOo per year hereafter. The s'life'' of a steel tic is considered indefinite, but it may safely be set down from thirty to fifty years, the former being all American estimate by competent metallurgist. The Mexican Fi- nancier says: By chartering it's own vessels the Vera Cruz company can land it's steel ties here at cost which permits their exten- sive use. It may be set down that the out side cost will not exceed $2 each, Mexican silver. The wooden ties which the steel ties are replacing on the Vera Cruz line range in price according to the wood from 9O cents

Some years ago Colonel Roudaire brought forward proposal to transform some of the deserts in Africa into inland seas, the level of the soil being at present about eighty feet below that of the Mediterranean. An alter native proposal was made by Colonel Landas' who prefers to keep the sea out and to irri- gate the desert, and so transform it into a fertile district. Colonel Landas has actually commenced to work on these lines and he has just presented to the French Academy of Science report, in which he states that he has driven an artesian well in the desert to the depth of 800 feet, which is now dis charging fresh water at the rate of 2,OOO gallons minute, which suffces for the irri- eation of 500 hectares. This area was Q desert year ago, and is now fertile and well-stocked district. A second artesian well is now being driven, to extend this work of 1 fertilization.

The Ansonia Sentinel says "It is fore gone conclusion that MT. Bulkeley will re- ceive the nomination two years hence. That was his purpose in originating boom prior to this years convention, as it serves to give him good start for the 1888 race. Major Tibbits may come in 8 good sec ond at that
 time, and capture the coveted plum in 1a90." The Hartford Post very properly comments on this as follows: This is all very interest 1 ing, and possibly true, except for the as-
 sumption that MT. Bulkeley's purpose was to obtain Ia start for 188S." The Bulkeley canvass was for the nomination and for
 nothing else. If anything grows out of it for 1888 the Republican party will not be the loser.

The business activity which prevails in the Northwest is said to have been unparalleled for long time. Chicago merchants report that dry goods and kindred merchandise are selling better than in any former year. Coal and lumber are largely called for from western points. Crops generally have been marketed early and money is now reported to be quite plentiful in the producing dis tricts. In some parts of Illinois, where the corn crop is not turning out as well as was anticipated, trade has eufered, but such in- stances are exceptional.
 A French musical journal says: Different people sound different vowels when laugh ing, from which fact a close observer has drawn the following conclusions: People who laugh in A (pronounced ah) are frank, honest and fond of noise and excitement, though they are often of versatile and tickle dispo- sition. Laughter in (pronounced ay) is peculiar to phlegmatic and melancholy per sons. Those who laugh in (pronounced eel are children or simple eminded, obliging, affectionate, timid and undecided people. To laugh in O indicates generosity and dar- ing. Avoid all those who laugh in U, as they are misanthropists.

matter, called on Supervising Architect
Bell to ascertain when the work would
be commenced. He was informed thai
the old plan OF appointing commission

abandoned, on account of the corruption
which has sometimes been practieed. Th'

Over year ago nineteen members Of
DUPONT Post, No. 2, G. A. R., became
dissatisfied from some cause and applied
for withdrawal cards, which were grant
ed. AZ the majority of them belonged to
the guard, or firing party, they took their
arms, as they claimed that they had
bought them themselves, and formed
what was known as the Veteran Guards.
The Post then held courtmartial, aud
suspended them from the order for terms
of two and three years each. Matters re-
NAMED In this condition until after the
election of John NJ. Dunn AS Commander
Of this Department, when he went to
Washington and laid the facts before
Commander In Chief Burdett, when the
finding of the court-martial was set
aside, and these nineteen men reinstated
In the order. They then became mem
bers of U. s. Grant Post, and have con
tinued as such ever since. The members
of DUPONT Post we're not satisfied with the
decision of the Commander in-Chief, and
appealed to the National Encampment
now In session In San Francisco, and /
dispatch was received last night stating
that the matter had been considered, ant

sustained. The despatch was read at tn
