SONG OF KING ALCOHOL.

That Kaiser Gar or King since the birthday
of the world
Had rule so universal rs 1 claim?
What conquering banner yet was so far and
wide unfurled
: As my ensign of destruction and of shame?
My burning letters bind every race of human
kind;
Ny dominion rules their bodies not alone.
But heart and soul and brain are encircled by
my chain,
And their future as their present is my
Then clnk-acink the bottle and chink-a-
chink the glass;
Send the, tankard round, imps, and let the
Ply the fools with whisky and fill them up
with rum,
Till fends are hoarse with laughter and
angels stricken dumb.
Talk not to me of Nero, that ancient Roman
ass;
His tortured slaves in death at last were
But the serf who bears the sway of bottle or
of glass
Belongs for all eternity to me.
The bravest man who broke u human tyrant's
If he once began to worship at my shrine,
Would submit strength courage, all of his
manhood to my thrall,
Lose truth and pluck and honor, and be
mine.
Then pass the poison freely, circle round the
drink
Do not give the drunkard time to even think
In stupid slumber let his conscience dwell
Till, too late, ha! ba! it awakens up in hell
Despots oft are hated; it is not so with me
Homage pay NV bondsmen for their pains;
Common helots struggle madly 10 be free
Mine lie down and hug their bitter chains
My triumph through the years is told in blood
and tears.
On the scatfold, in the dungeons dreary
gloom.
! whet the murderer's knife-rob mother

And build my horTid throne upon the tomb.
Then let the red wine gurgle, let the whisky
flow,
Satan turns the hose on, for the demons
know
God and Heaven are lost to the fools who
sink
Underneath the sway of that cruel monarch,

CHANNEL ISLANDS.
The Thousand Years of Interesting His
tory Possessed by Them.

The Thousand Years of Interesting His
tory Possessed by Them.
| The Channel Islands were originally
part of the dukedom of Normandy.
The son of Rollo, the first Duke, gained
possession of them in A. d. 932 Then.
as ever afterward, the existing laws
and customs of the islands were not in
terfered with to any large extent. AS
the islands thus came under the agls
of the Norman Dukes, previous to the
invasion of England by William, the
inhabitants still boast that their con-
nection with the realm commenced
with their taking part in the conquest
of the SaXons. King John is said to
have granted charter confirming to
the islands their long enjoyed rights
of self-government. A writer in
the Quarterly Revie1O for July, 1885,
however, asserts that there is no
foundation for this statement, and that.
on the other hand, it is more probable
the constitutional and administrative
arrangements of the islands have pre-
vailed-to adopt the Quarterly ReUieW's
incontestable statement-'from time
of which no memory exists" Feudal-
ism seems never to have weighed
heavily on the shoulders of the island
community. ''From about 4S1 to 932
A. D. the old Aryan system of the
Western Franks subsisted in force, and
when the feudal system spread to the
islands it was grated upon the older
stock in the forms of reciprocal service
and protection, doing what was re-
quired by the times, yet bringing little
or no organic change" Philip Angus
tus is believed to have endeavored to
wrest Jersey from the King of England
on the reversion of Normandy to him
self. He failed. and it was not till 1888
that Guernsey was occupied by France.
Six years later the invaders were OK
PEELED by Jean de la Marche du Bias.
In 1928 the islands successfully re-
sisted the attacks of the great Bertrand
du Guesclin. They were, however,
nearly lost to this country during
the wars of the Roses. Margaret OF
Anjou offered to cede them to the King
of France if he would assist her hus-
band, Henry vi. The Count of Maui
evrier was dispatched to help the UNI
lucky Lancastrian Prince, and Mont
Orgueil was handed over to body Of
French troops led by an agent of Maui
evrier's. But if the French imagined
that the islanders would submit to be-
ing thus bartered away they made a
grave mistake. Philip de Carteret re.
fused to give up that portion of Jersey
of which he was Seigneur, and when
Edward w. came to the throne Vice
Admiral Sir Richard Harleston was
cent to De Carteret's aid, and in 1868
the French were compelled to evacuate
the island. Henry VII. took the is.
land levies out II the power of the
Seigpcurs and transformed them into 8
public militia. During the great re-
bellion Jersey sided with Charles l.
and Guernsey with the Parliamen,
tarians, the former being eventually
beaten by a portion of Cromwell's feet

SCENES IN IRELAND.
Country Where the Stars and Stripe
Are Oftener Seen Than the Union Jack.

A Country Where the Stars and Stripes
Are Oftener Seen Than the Union Jack.
The country scenes all over Ireland
are far different from those of Ameri-
ca. The people have strong brogue,
and though those of the cities dress the
same as we do, out in the country dis
tricts you find some of the quaint knee
breeches peasants whom you see in the
old Irish prints. In the cities, at the
railroad stations and in the hotels there
is great display of brass buttons and
gaudy liveries. The railroad men all
wear bright coors, and the porters
have caps with scarlet bands about
them, while their usual suit is of a yell
low velveteen. The guards or the
conductors of the trains are dressed in
blue and many buttons, and the gov
eminent officials connected with the
post-office mail service have q striking
uniform. met one of them at a sta
ton between the lakes of Killarney
and Dublin. He was mail dispatcher,
changing the mails at the depot to a
number of trains, examining the seals
of the mail bags, and being responsible
for them during their stay at this sta
ton. He had been seventeen years in
the service, and had three gold bands
on his coat, each of which indicated
five years term of good behavior, and
each of which gave him twenty five
cents week extra pay.
The British soldiers are another set
of uniformed men whom you will find
everywhere in Ireland. They wear
guady red uniforms and the cavalry
gallop through the streets of the cities
amid the scowls and curses of the Irish.
South and Central Ireland has no love
for England. The American flag is
oftener seen than the union jack, or
the flag of Great Britain, and in the
many professions 1 have seen l have
yet to see one British flag, while | find
the stars and stripes everywhere.
In the professions in Dublin bidding
good-by to Lord Aberdeen, there were
over one hundred American flags car
ried, and not one single British one.
l heard curses against England
frequently, and the Irish l met outside
of Belfast and the north nssle no bones
of expressing their sentiments. Eng

large as that of the whole United States.

A BAND OF BLUERIRDS.

o, happy band of bluebirds,
Brave prophets of the spring.
Amid the tall and tufted cane,
How blithesomely you singl
What message haunts your music
Mid autumns dusky reign?
You tell us Nature stores her seed
&, To give them back in grain!
Your threats are gleeful fountains,
Through which song-tide flows:
Your voice greets me in the woods
: On every wind that blows!
dream that Heaven invites you
To bid the Earth 'good-bye;"
For in your wings you seem to hold
A portion of the sky!
o, happy band of bluebirds,
You could not long remain
To fit across the fad ng fields
And glorify the grain.
You leave melodious memories,
Whose sweetness thrills me through:
All, il my songs were such as yours,
They'd almost touch the bluel

A Hans Yearly Food.

From the army and navy diet scales of France and England, based upon the recognized necces- sities of large numbers of men in active life, it is inferred that about two and one-fourth pounds avoir- dupois of dry food per day are required for each individual; of this about three-fourths are vege- table and the rest animal. At the close of an entire year tLe amount is upward Of 800 pounds. Enum- erating under the title of water all the various drinks, its estimated quantity is about 1,500 pounds per annum. The air received by breath ing may be taken at 500 pounds. With these figures before us We are able to show how the case stands. The food, water, and air which a man receives amount, in the aggregate. to more than 5000 pounds year-about ton and a half, or twenty times his weight.
