Wanted on Pioneer Day.

One OF the most delighted visitors to
the Centennial Exposition was Mr.. Dan
iel F. Maddox, who is now resident OF
Highland county, o. The Pioneer De.
partment was paradise of enjoyment
to him, and he spent as much time there
as majority of people do at the entire
Centennial. All the memories Of child
hood and young manhood were awaken
ed by the sight of these early time souv-
enirs. The dust of time was brushed
from the tablets of memory, and Mr..
Maddox talked familiarly of things that
to us seem but relics of past far be-
yond the span of single lifetime. Here
was man standing in one Of the grand.

ly knows how entirely lonesome he feels
surrounded by sea Of men and women,
who are glibly chattering in a language
that sounds like so much gibberish to

garded as elsewhere along our journey.
Nearly all the places OF business were
open, and people were eating and drink

and can present the scene to you very
fairly by comparing it to gigantic State
Fair. Games of all kinds were in pro.

there and bands were discoursing music
from several different quarters. Such q
demonstration OF disregard for Sunday
in America would surely have discourag'

beautiful, fountains playing in all di

ornamental buildings, statuary and

IroncIad Overland Graft.

Perhaps the only solid iron box car in
the Southern States to-day is now in use
regularly on the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad. 1t was built by
the United States Government more than
twenty years ago. and, judging from
present appearances, it will be used for
twenty years more.
This relic IS constructed of heavy
boiler iron, with doors of the same ma
terial, and was used to transport powder
and ammunition along the line Of road
between Nashville and the South, to the
Federal troops aud stations 1t afforded
perfect safety to its contents from those
terrors, the Tennessee bush whackers,
who would be along the side of the track
and fire upon occupants of every train.
Their bullets fell harmlessly from the
sides of the ironclad, so for four long
years of strife and bloodshed this old
travelling magazine would Jog along
calmly and serenely through the thickest
of the fight, perfectly indifferent TO all
attacks that were made upon it, After
following the army all over the South,
and fulfilling its important mission, at
the close of the war it was sold to the
present owners. 1t was used by them as
a baggage car on the Shelbyville branch
for about fifteen years. 1t is, perhaps,
the only relic of the kind in the country,
and, its veteran friends say, in token Of
past services, should be bought by the
Government and placed in the National
Museum, where, doubtless, it would be
very attractive feature. - NdShgWe

Mine be the force Of words that tax the
tongue
But once to speak them full and round and
clear.
They suit the speech or song and suit the
ear,
Like bells that give one tone when they are
rung:
Or bird notes on the air like raindrops flung,
That pour their joy for all who pause to
hear.
Their short, quick chords the dull sense
charm and cheer,
That tires and shrinks from words to great
length strung.
Strong words, of old, tina right to the
brain
And hit the heart as soon we're brief and
terse
Who finds them now, and fits them to his
sling,
Smooth stones from brooks of English are
his gain,
Which shall make strong his thought in
prose or verse,

IN A DREAM.

The old farmhouse, see il again:
In its low, dark caves, the twittering wren
Is nested as long ago;
And breathe once more the south winds
balm,
And sit and watch, in the twilights calm,
That bat fit TO and fro.
The white cows lie at the pasture bars,
And the dairy, cool with its tins and jars,
Is stored with curds and cream;
There's somebody putting the things to right,
And through the window | see the light
From the tallow candle CLEAN.
The garden is rich with its old d-time bloom,
And catch, in fancy, the faint perfume
or blossoms dank with dew;
And over it all is the starlit dome.
And round about it, the peace of home
How it all comes back to viewl
The night wind stirs in elm and oak,
And up from tho pond comes the breezy
croak
OF the ull-frog's rich bassoon;
And catch the gleam as over the brink
There peeps with a tremulous, shivering
blink,
The rim of crescent moon.
Itall comes back from the dusk of time,
With the mournful cadence and swell of
rhyme
That is half remembered, still
Like measure from some forgotten strain,
That hauntingly comes and fees again,
And under duty, twilight sky,
It, mingling, floats with the plaintive cry
or the desolate whippoorwill.

Lunch Dishes.

Lunches are less formal gatherings
than parties, receptions, and the like,
says lady correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, and the refreshments are usual
ly much simpler. Being generally given
in the middle of the day when the ma
jority of the gentlemen are engaged in
business, ladies constitute the principal
attendants. Hats are worn or not as
preferred. Some only serve chocolate
or coffee with waters, oat meal or other
thin crackers, either with or without
cakes and ice cream. A little more
elaborate lunch includes with coffee and
chocolate, thin sandwiches, or thin slices
of bread and butter, sliced chicken,
boned turkey, or some other nice cold
meat, and some kind of salad, as shrimp,
lobster or chicken salad. After the
plates are removed, if in the berry sea-
son, ice cream and cake with berries are
served. No doubt in other localities
different customs prevail, but the idea of
the lunch is not so much to bring friends
together for the display of toothsome
dishes, as for the interchange of friendly
greetings and the renewal of pleasant
friendships.

KeenInr Sweet Corn.

This easy way of keeping sweet corn,
recommended by the New ork Tri une,
can be readily tried When the corn is
not too old cut it from the cob and put
into a stone jar with one-eighth measure
of salt, or more-it cannot be made too
salt. Cover and weigh. 1t must always
be covered with brine. But lady found
that even her COW wouldn't eat corn thus
treated. But later she learned that after
being drained out of the brine it must
be put at once into plenty of boiling
water, boiled ten minutes, then drained
and put into fresh water for short
time, repeating this the third time,
when it is excellent seasoned with but
ter, pepper and milk or cream, with a
spoonful of sugar to each quart of corn.
Just scald this and then serve.

A MOntenegrin Dance.

The Montenegrin dance is curious
graceful it is not but one can not help
being struck by the wonderful activity
and suppleness Of limb displayed by the
dancers. A ring is formed and a man
and woman begin to dance by springing
as high as they can in the air, with the
arms raised above the head. After few
bounds they change sides with a prodi-
gious spring, twisting around in the air
as they pass. A couple will dance for a
minute or so, and when exhausted be
succeeded by another couple and so on.
The dance is unaccompanied by any sort
of music, not even by that primitive and
doleful monochord instrument, the
"guzia. n-lSt. James gazette.
