BEFORE NINE EYES.

Before mine eyes are sea and sky,
And from the sea mountain high
Bathed in the softest silver light:
The suns great shield so dazzling bright
Upon the tranquil sea doth lie.
Such radiant gems l there descry
Nor emperors nor queens may buy,
They shine like flashing stars of night
Before mine eyes.
Oh, mountain, soft as clouds that fly.
Oh, clouds, 'twixt heaven and earth that ply;
And sea of silver, shorn of night
BY peaceful sky; most blessed sight
To soothe, TO cheer, to fortify
Before mine eyes.

Mister HalIanl.

Theodore F. Hallam, tho Covington lawyer, who was Speaker Carlisle's counsel in the TT ocbo contest, is tho only man in tho United States who has an official, not to say legal right to the titlo of Mister. When Proctor Knott was elected governor of Kentucky, he wrote to Hallom that ho would liko very much to make him member of hls military staff, with the title of colonel. Hallam wrote back that he was obliged to him but thought thcrc were too many coloncls in Kentucky already; however he would like very much to bo on Kuott's staff, and if Knott could appoint him as plain Mis- ter he would very gladly accept. By return mail he got his commission as "Mister" on the governors staff, doc ument which now hangs in handsome frame on the wall of his office. It was Hallam, who, meeting Judge Hogg of West Virginia, resolved to take him down peg or two. He had his chance when Hogg asked him whether ho had ever read "Hallam's Commentaries" "Oh, yes," said Hallam, '1 wrote them" 'Thcn you're the original Hallam2' inquired Hogg. 'Ycs," said Hallam; land may ask whether you arc the original hog?'-[New York Graphic

A Phlegmatic Englishman.

In one of the wars on the continent of Europ', in the last century, in which England and Spain were allied, George Haz.cwood, an English soldior, was taken prisoner by the Dutch, in com pany with twenty -three Spaniards. Prince Maurice, who was in command of the Dutch, ordered that eight of the prisoners should be put to death in re- taliation for like sentence passed upon eight Dutch soldiers not long bofora. It was ordered that it should Do de- cided by lot upon which of tho prison CTS the death penalty should fall. When the Englishmau's turn came, hc drew Not which told him that his lifo was spared. He said nothing but stood by to see tho rest of the dreal full ordeal. Presently, two or three fatal lots hay ing been drawn, Spaniard stepped out to put his hand into the helmet and showed Q great reluctance to do so. H, drew back once or twico and seemed to be under great mcntal strain. Are you afraid2' asked au officer. ''No," sad the Spaniard, ''but fear it is wrong to make my own hand the instru- ment of my own death. 1c,n die will ingly, but l fear the guilt of suicide" George Hazlewood, tho Eaglishman, here stopped forward. 'Hsve you any money9" he asked the Spaniard. "Yes," said the latter, 'I have twelve crowns" ''Very good," said Hazlcwood, eff you will give it to ma. I will stand tho chance in your place." ''IIc is a fool or madman,' said the officer in con- mand; ''ho docs not deservc tho life he has SO providentially obtaiuo1. Let him tako tho chance in the others place. Hozlcwood put his hand into the helmet and again drew himself safe.

Remarkable History of a Mcteorit,

Remarkable History of a Meteorite
 A largo metcoritc has bccn recently added to tho collection of the Braziii ID National Museum which is remarkable for its history no less than for its size. It has been known for over a century, and in 17S5 m attempt was made to TO- move it from it's location at Bondego creek to Bahia. It was, however, un- successful Last year railroad was completed to within about seventy miles of Bendego, and as there was no prospect of nearcr approach in tho near future, the Geographical Society of Rio de Janeiro took the matter of its re- moval in hand, and attempted to raise tho necessary funds to accomplish tho work. Baron Guahy, wealthy mom- bcr of the Society, finally offered to furnish the money. An ex-naval officer named Carvalho, who had had some OK pcriencc in transporting heavy cannon over mountain roal Is during the Para guayar war, took charge of tho removal. The difficulties woro enormous; tho meteorito weighed ovor scvon tons, and not even the facilities of common roads were to be had for its transport. Over eighty temporary bridges hal to be constructed, and ono mountain chain had to be crossed, involving rise of 800 feet in 25OO After over six months of hard work tho mcteorito was gotten to the railroad, taken from thcrc to Bahia, and thence by sea to Rio, whcro it was finally deposited safely in tho National Muscum.-[Scicntific Amcri,

No grandor idea has ever been sug- cested, asserts the New York Graphic, than that proposed by our National Sur vey-to dam the canyons of the Rocky Mountains, in order to form vast rescr- voirs of water, that may be used as needed, to keep the aril lands of the great dry basins irrigated and fertile. The plan will, If carried out, be equally valuable in preventing floods in the Missouri and lower Mississippi valleys. It IS believed that 150, 900 square miles of land may thus bc reclaimed for cul- tivation. The extent of this may be seen by the fact that the total extent of land now under cultivation in the United States is less than 300, 900 square miles. Dams can be constructed strong enough absolutely to regulate the spring flooding; retain the supply and feed it out slowly. as may be needed, all sum- mer.

Kerosene an Antedoto for Strychnine.
 A special dispatch to tho Cincinnati Enquirer from Providence, R. I.,records tho discovery under peculiar circum- stances of an antedote for poisoning by strychninc. Ono Ben jamin Johnson, for somo reason or no roason, hastily de- ciIcd to end his existence and swallowed ten grains of strychnine. I'm nod iatoly hc regretted the rash act and yelled to his wife for help. Mrs. Johnson, though nervous little woman, did not have spasms or mysteries, neither did she losc her breath. She bethought herself of
 he oil can, with its couple of quarts of freshly purchased Illuminating fluid. When Johnson was almost in tho throes of death Mrs. Johnson sciz d the kero- scno can and hespout was thrust woll down into the throat. Tho oil flowed rapidly. aud Johnson was very sick man. Aquart of oil had been swallowed, but not without the greatest determiua- . tion on the wifo's part. "That will not hurt you," said Mrs. Johnson, "and you know you buy it to drink just the same. That's just what they soil you, but I'd give you tho other If had it in tho house." Mrs. Johnson worked hard to get tho remaining quart into her husbands stomach, but ho was filled to tho teeth. In flow moments kerosene and poison boiled out from Johnson's s frame, and when physicians arrived there was little to do but observe th :, telling work of Mrs. Johnson. She had saved his life, for the kerosene antidote worked we'll. Mrs. Johnson said that some years ago sho lived in tho lumber region of Pennsylvania, and men bitten by snakes had been filled with plain kerosene instead of whisky tho usual antid otc in such cases, and none to her knowledge had ever died.

The Poppy as a Bank Protector.

The Manufacturer Record, in an article recommending op um culture in the South, says that, once sown, the poppy is self perpctuating, and ia, In fact, hard to cxterminate, recitiug the fact that within tho last two or threo years eminent French engineers have undertaken the sowing of railroad em- bankmonts with poppy seods, as, when once established, that rrolifi, plant would cover the soil with a network of roots that would prevent it from washing away during heavy rains or from uphcaval when frost was coming out of tho ground in tho spring.
 The suggestion seems good enough to warrant trial. Surely bank of pop pies would present advantages h an @ thetic point of view over bank of big weed and thistles.
