THE LYRIC MUSE.

CParaphrase from Horace's "Ars Poetica."l
1 love the lyric musei
For when mankind ran wild in groves,
Came holy Orpheus with his songs
And turned mems hearts from bestial loves,
From brutal force and savage wrongs;
Came Amphion, too, and on his Tyre
Made such sweet music all the day
That rocks, instinct with warm desire,
Pursued him in his glorious way.
Hove the lyric muse:
Hers was the wisdom that Of yore
Taught man the rights Of fellow-man-
Taught him to worship God the more
And 10 revere loves holy ban;
Hers was the hand that jotted down
The laws correcting divers wrongs
And so came honor and renown
To bards and to their nvble songs.
love the lyric muse!
Old Homer sung unto the lyre,
Tyrteus, too, in ancient days
Still, warmed by their immortal fire,
How doth our patriot spirit blazei
The oracle, when questioned. sings
So we our way in life are taught;
In verse we soothe the pride of kings,
In verse the drama has been wrought.
Hove the lyric musel
Be not ashamed, y noble friend,
In honest gratitude to pay
Thyhomage to the gods that send
This boon TO charm all Ill away.
With solemn tenderness revere
This voiceful glory asa shrine
Wherein the quickened heart may hear
The counsels OF voice divinei

A Hive of Industry.

The scenes at Braddock's Field are greatly
changed from the days of Indian scalping In
stead of the war whoop is now heard the hum
of busy in dustry. The scalping knife has been
displaced by the steel rail, which bears the
product of great nation from ocean to ocean.
Prophecy tells of a time when swords shall be
beaten into plowshares, and spearsin into prun-
ing hooks We in this day have seen even
greater changes than prophecy foretells. 'The
wilderness and solitary place are made gla1'
by the development of great industries.
Bradd0ck is now a thriving town Of more
than l., 900 inhabitants, with churches, schools,
great library and all the appliances of modern
civilization. This has been accomplished in the
main since the centennial year. ]. 81. Y.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
The Probabilities Are That the President
Will Issue n Call.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
WASHINGTON, September 5.-The President
expects to return to Washington Saturday, in
season tohold the first Cabinet meeting of
several weeks, and it is possible that at that
meeting the question of the extra session will
be finally settled. The weight of opinion is in
favor of the theory that an extra session will be
called, though it is asserted that the President
has never been fully convinced Of the wisdom
of the step. The fact of his preparing his mes
sage at this time appears to be convincing to
most of the politicians that he has yielded to
the opinion of Republican Congressmen who
desire the extra session that month or two of
the regular session may not be consumed by
the work of organization.
On Monday the President will go to Balti-
more to attend the opening of the exposition,
and then, after brief stay here, expects to
return to Deer Park and proceed with the
preparation of his message.

The Steel Rails.

In August, 1876, the first steel rail was turned
out The idea of those who started this great
manufacturing enterprise was to build mill
with an annual capacity of 55, 900 tons of steel
rails. But foundations were laid sufficient to
reach greater output, if, in the course of
years, such output should be deemed advisable
and profitable. The output of seeel rails last
year was in round numbers 100000 tons, and
orders are already booked su fficlent to keep the
works going to their utmost capacity up to 1890.
In 1881 three furnaces were added to the
plant, two of which had daily capacity of 80
tons and the other so tons. Three years later
two additional furnaces were built, and for the
past two or three years seven furnaces have
been supplying materials for steel rail manu-
facture. There are now in process Of construc-
tion two new furnaces of the largest size and
with all the latest lmpr ovements, which are in
tended to eclipse every thing in the past. Their
capacity Will be 1l6 tons of metal daily.

LAZARETTO IMMIGRANTS,
Philadelphia Wants to Know What We Will
Do With Them.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.I

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPAfCH.i
WASHINGTON. September 6.-Collector
Cooper, of Philadelphia, has written to the
Treasury Department asking for instruction in
regard to the disposition of immigrants who
are detained at the lazaretto by sickness I'm.
der the law an immigrant who is sick is sent to
this place, and in most cases is detained until
after the departure OF the vessel in which he
arrived. In such cases difficulty has arisen in
regard to the return of immigrants whose en-
trance into the country is prohibited by the
immigration laws. which provide that such per-
sons shall be returned by the vessel in which
they sailed. The Collector desires to
know whether vessels of the same line in which
prohibited immigrants have arrived may be
stopped at the lazaretto to take up those of
them who are sick, or if, when well, they may
be brought to the city by rail, the proprietors
of the line giving bond for their return to their
own country if they be found to be of the pro-
hibited class.
Certain vessel owners have offered to give
such bond, but the Collector was in doubt as
the legality of the action.

The New Furnaces

under headway will cost not less than $500 1000,
including stores engines, etc. The height will
be 80 feet, which is 10 feet more than the old
furnaces, and q feet bosh, which is an addition
of feet to the old. There are now in opera
tion three ten-ton converters in the rail mill,
and fourth will be in operation in short
time. The average quantity of steel rails
turned out daily by the Edgar Thomson
worksis over 1000 tons, and 100 tons have been
reached. Beside this large quantities of steel
slabs have been furnished to Homestead and
other works. This output, it is expected will
be increased per cent when the new furnaces
are completed Orders are out for five new
Innings for furnaces, new and old, which will
require over 1000 000 fire brick.

Another Collision In the FnR.

During the thick fog which hung over East
river this morning the big Fall river steamship
Providence tried to come down from He'll Gate
to her dock. The river was full of small craft.
Near Poor House Flats the Providence all but
ran down the schooner New Bedford. As she
sheered of to avoid a collision she crashed into
Commodore Gerrys famous steam yacht, the
Electra, which lay at anchor on the other side.
The big masts of the yacht snapped like
matches as her nose plunged into the steam
ships side just abaft the paddle box. Five
hundred passengers on the steamship hurried
to the deck, frightened and white. Several
women tainted, one slipped and bruised her
face, and small boy sprained his wrist falling
down stairs. In minute the vessels swung
apart and the Providence drifted on down
stream with the bowsprit and stays of the
yacht. The damage to both vessels was quite
serious.
