MARION, May ia citizens meeting was
held here last night, looking to the securing to
this place of the shops of the T., G. & ST. L.
railway. Moses Bradford, who recently re
turned from conference with General Superin-
tendent Pettbone. at Toledo, reported that he
had assurances that if the donation was raised
from $4,000 and thirty acres Of ground
to 100000 and thirty acres of ground, that the
principal shops of the company would be
brought to Marion. II this donation is made
the company, according to Mr.. Bradfords
statement, agrees to put up shops that will en-
ploy 300 men. The enterprise meets with pub
lie favor on all sides, and it is likely
that the donation will be voted if
there legal obstacles. A
committee composed of seven principal citizens
of this place was appointed on ways and means
and to inquire into the legal provisions bearing
on the case This committee will report at an
other citizens meeting which is called for next
Tuesday evening

A Lullaby Night in Camp.

/ recommend the wall tent. rather
than the "A" or wedge tent We have
both varieties in our camp, but when
the winds are boisterous the wall tent
has few fancy steps that the '.A' tent
can never hope to initiate. Night has
fallen On the other hand, the wind
has gotten up. / retire TO the cot that
says down like watering trough to re-
ceive me, and the circus begins. am
not afraid that the tent will blow over
it takes terrific wind to capslze a well
pinned, neatly adjusted tent But
don't see why it can't stand still l
hear the wind waving among the trees.
l look at the cot where the prince is
sleeping and half wish hadn't brought
him out into this land of furious storms.
l lie down again. look at the swaving
lantern, and think will get up and put
1t out Suddenly the tent squats down
like collapsed balloon, and then be-
fore / can throw my arms over the
prince to keep the ridge pole from hit
ting him, the tent stands straight up
three feet higher than its best standing
record. Another roaring tempest
through the trees; the four sides of the
tent bulge out until it is as round as
a Sibley tent; then it collapses and
sucks in until there is hardly room in
side for the lantern. Then three sides
stiffen up like sheet iron, while the
fourth flaps itself mad for no particular
reason. The tent squats again, and
when it stands up this time, the fly be-
gins to flap and pound over your head,
faster than you can think, with the roll
of q muffied drum, varied now and then
by crack like the shot of a gun. A
moments lull-suddenly the winds seem
to be rending the forests, and both tent
poles. fore and aft, are seized with the
delirium tremens, and shiver and shake
and tremble in oscillating spasms-
while the walls dance up and down,
fiutter. bulge, collapse and stretch, and
the frantic fly. ''as fast as mill wheels
strike" smites the top of the tent in
furious, loud-sounding whacks that
make the very lantern burn blue with
fear; the moaning of the wind III the
woods rises to a shrek; under the i'm
preston that the whole mountain is
flowing away. l spring to my feet. rush
to the tent door, tear it open.
The blueSt skies. the brightest stars,
the loveliest night in all this land greets
me with the blessing of peace. The
night wind is singing softly in the gent

summer night a liquid whisper. the

A letter to the Boston IrGUeLler says:
"One of the best-known characters in
Lynchburg, Va, is 'Jube Early's nigger
Joe Joe is an old negro with all the
dignity of body servant of the slavery
days, and his affection for the General
amounts to worship. Jube owned him
before the War. and owns him still. Joe
never having been freed, scorning to
accept what he says docs not belong to
him. and saying as long rs Mass Jube
is alive Joe is his slave. Early is very
fond of his slave, and would shoot
quicker in defense of the negro than
nybody else. He has given Joe
carte blanche to buy what he likes in
the town, and has instructed storekeep-
ers, no matter what Joe wants or how
much it will cost, to give it to him and
send the bill to his master. Sometimes
Early gets rather the worse for whisky,
and then a comical sight is seen Joe
follows him like a dog. and when the
General gets very drunk Joe will say:
Mass Jube, YOU mus come home
why, you black rascal, what do YOU
mean? I'm your master Yes, Mass
Jube, when you'se sober; when you Sc
drunk rse massa.' Well. | reckon YOU
are right. old man; I'll go with you "

watterson on the English.

am afraid that some of nv readers
will have got an impression from the
perusal of these letters that am preju-
diced against the English. simply do
not like them either as a nationality or
as q race of men. In both characters
they are an epitome of all that is pow
erful and offensive.
They are hospitable to the last degree;
but their hospitality is much in their
own conceit, and lacks the sweet aroma
of true generosity, which is at once well
coming and unconscious. They have a
winning way of making themselves dis
agreeable 1t comes natural to them,
and they prefer it They are an honest
people and brave people, with big
bone, and sinews. and appetites- The
brute is strong within them. They love
TO eat and drink, to argue and brow
beat, to swagger and bully. Beacons-
field, who was Jew and a gentleman,
understood them perfectly, and when
he started policy of jlngoism he knew
that he was representing a nation of
jingoes. The lines:
We do not want to fight, but, by jingo, If we
do,
We've got the ship, we've got the men, and
we've got the money, 100
tell the whole story, and leave little
more to be said.
truly believe that, in single-hand-
ed contest, England could whip any
other nation, the United States alone
excepted. and, as matters stand, she
could batter down and burn all our sea-
ports cities before we could fairly take
the field. Her resources, save only as
to food, are enormous. On the land
and ON the sea she is equipped for every
manner of enterprise, either of war or
of peace, and she is our enemy and rival.
Lord Randolph Churchill, who is per-
sonally blatherskite and blackguard,
derives no little of his undeniable popu-
larity from his outspoken abuse of the
Americans.
At this moment it looks as though
Mr.. Gladstone is overwhelmingly de-
feated. In England proper he is. and
that is largely reaction against the in
termeddling of America. do not won
per at this in the least. My wonder is
that the English are not more demon
strative than they are in their hatred of
us. That they do hate us is a fact as
reasonable as it is true. For my part L
respect them for it and cordially recip-
rocate the sentiment, and only wish that
the space between us were, instead of a
ferry, lake Of fire, dangerous in win
ter and impossible all the rest of the

An English naturalist remarks that
it is sad reflection that. while the tur-
bot lays 100000 eggs, not more than
one, on an average. ever lives 10 reach
maturity. In fish. generally. it takes
yearly at least 10O,0O0 eggs for each in
dividual to keep up the average of its
species. In frogs and amphibians. a
few hundred are amply sufficient Rep
tiles often lay only much smaller
number. In birds, which hatch their
own eggs and feed their young, from
two to ten eggs per annum are quite
sufficient to replenish the earth.
Among mammals. three or four at a
birth is rare number, and many of
the larger sorts produce one calf or foal
at time only. In the human race at
large total of five or six children for
each married couple during a whole
lifetime makes up sufficient for infant
mortality and all other sources of loss,
though among savages a far higher
rate is usually necessary. In England
an average of four and half children
per family suffices to keep the popula-
ton stationary.

What it Was.

oh, they were as happy as happy could be,
Those two little boys who were down b y the
sea,
As each with a shovel grasped tight in his
hand,
Like sturdy young laborer, dug in the sand.
And it finally happened, while looking around,
That, alongside big shell, star-fish they
found
eyes
Grew large for moment with puzzled sur
prise!
Then-"I know" said one, with his face grow
ing bright,
+'It's the dear little star that we've watched
every night;
But last night, when we looked, it was no
where on high,
So, of course, it has dropped from its home in
the skyP

Sleep.

Last night lay asleep, and sOmbre dreams
Around my pillow came on waving wings
Tranced in fOrgetfulness of all true things
lay awhile; at last l woke. The beams
OF the sweet moon flowed in silver streams
Through both my windows, and their glim-
merings
Hinged all they touched like songs poet
sings
Behold" thought / in joy, 'these bright
mOon-gleams
Played round me while 1 slept my troubled
sleep
And Cynthia with her stars smiled in the sky.
So on through life in fitful dreams we
sweep,
Intent on visions that around us fly.
And seldom wake to feel how soft and deep
Gods love in floods is shining from on high"
