eALLADE OF AN OLD SPINET.

Within an upper room it stlctk,
garnet corner grim and gray,
Where spiders spin their stlken STRANDS
Molested by no sunlight ray;
Yet danes and damsels, dare say,
Have loved its music; TO and fro
Their lily hands were wont TO stray
On that old spinet, years ago
I often fancy ghostly bands
A stately minuet essay
AT dead Of night, while unseen hanas
Their long forgotten skill display
The little children; where are theyf
For many must have danced, know,
To measures fanciful and gay
From that old spinet years ago
Some cavalier OF other lands
To il once sang his roundelsy,
Regardless OF the reprimands
OF her whose heart he longed to sway;
Or some despairiBg genius may
Have made il sharer of his woe
And bowed his weary head 10 pray
Ger that old spinet, years ago
Behold, ii still resists decay:
There's music in il still, although
The hands are dust that used to play
On that old spinet years ago.

MRS MARGARET ~ ILSoN ULIPHANT, better
known simply as Mrs. Ohphant, is now
sixty years of age. She makes her home at
Windsor, and this. together with the fact
that she is q Scotchwoman, has made her
quite favorite of the Queen, who reads all
her novels. or rather has them read to her,
and who takes every occasion TO praise their
healthy moral tone. Mrs. Oliphant Is an
amiable as well as an Mathematician
woman, with strongly marked features and
silver gray hair, which she half covers by
the inevitable British natroD's lace cap.

WEEKLY TRADE RE VIEW.

New York. Oct 4-Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: "Tae iron
business is in some danger of running
into an unhealthy BOOM 80 great is
the anxiety of many to stimulate the
demand. Several large furnaces are
about going into blast, and Southern
No. is still sold here at Sl6.75. but
higher prices than $1S are paid for
desired brands. which are scarce, aud
structural plate and wrought pipe are
strong; but OF bar there is much buying
and some miles are inviting orders at
$3.50. Rails have actually sold for
$29 in considerable quantity at eastern
works, but Philadelphia quotes S3l,
and the west correspondingly highe r
prices. Only $500 miles of railroad
have been built in nine months of this
year, and it is still an open question
how long the demand for iron and steel
products in the aggregate will equal
the constantly increasing supply The
business failures in the Unit'd States
for the quarter ending with September
were 2,276, showing decrease of IS
or a per cent, from last year, but for
the nine months the number has been
1879, showing an increase of 329 or
4 per cent For the past week the
failures reported number l72 for the
United States and 81 for Caua la,
against 1872 last week aud 221 for the
corresponding week last year.

UNPROTECTED STEAM PIPES,

In recent issue Of Engineering are
reported results of Albert HACKS ex-
periments TO determine the loss OF heat
from unprotected steam pipes. This
tests were directed to finding the relat-
i've losses Of heat from (D bare pipes,
(2) pipes covered with one inch of fossil
meal composition, and (3) pipes cover
ed with one inch of fossil meal com
position and three layers Of hair felt.
The result of experiments with steam
in the different pipes under pressures
of from as to 60 pounds and upward
goes to show that a covering of fossil
meal composition one inch thick saves
out of possible loss of 100 per cent
as much as 1857 per cents and if oyer
this covering one and one half inches
of hair felt with canvas is added, the
extra saving is only 1925 per cent. II
one pound of steam coal is r, quired 10
evaporate eight pounds of water into
steam of 60 pounds pressure, then six
and half hundred weight of steam
coal are required every year to make
good the loss of heat from every square
foot of uncovered steam pipe. The
loss is even greater in winter, or when
the pipes are exposed to wind and rain
or where steam of high temperature is
used. Finally, Mr.. Hasoke combats
the opinion which is firmly et1blished
in the minds of many users of ste am
that the outside temperature of non
conducting composition applied to hot
surfaces is measure of its, ,,non-conduot
| inc pfficiency

Gas Companies Have No Control Over the
Surface Of Lands They Leave.

A dispatch from Findlay, Ohio, says:
Judge Pendleton, of the Hancock
county conrt of common pleas, yester-
day delivered bis decision in the in
junction suit of the Standard Oil comp
any against the Toledo, FindlaY and
Springfield railroad, to restrain that
corporation from constructing Its road
bel over the lands on whicl. the
Standard held leases on the ground that
an oil or gas lease carried with it absol-
ute control of the premises for all purp-
oses save alone agricultural. The Judge
Dissolved the injunction, and in doing
so rendered lengthy opinion denying
the position taken by the Standard
that its leases of lands intludei the
right TO control the surface TO such an
extent as to prevent the owners from
giving or selling the right of way
across it for railway or other high
way. Judge Pend con d ded that
he leases made to the Standard by the
owners of the land did not cover the
control of the surface OF the lands, but
only gave the lessees the right TO use
such of the surface as was necessary to
the prosecution of their work in devel-
oping and utilizing the gas and oil in
the interior.
A decision in favor of the company
would have given them aud other
companies absolute control over humid
reds of thousands of acres of land in
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. The
Standard attorneys gave notice OF ap-
peal.

"All Wool and a Yard Wide. "

When a great business house, of
world wide reputation for honesty,
fair dealing and financial responsible
ity, feels warranted in attaching its
certificate of guarantee to its goods,
such action furnishes tn, best posi-
BILE evidence that the products are be-
lieved to be just what they are rep
resented to be. Such confidence on
the part of manufacturers and vend-
ers naturally begets confidence in pur-
chasers, and hence it is that there has
grown to be, all over this great coun-
try, such unprecedented demand for,
such implicit confidence in, that most
popular liver, blood and lung remedy
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, as no other medicine has
ever before met with. 1t is sold by
druggists, under positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will
either benefit or cure in every case of
disease for which it is recommended
or the money paid for it will be
promptly refunded. 1t is manufactur.
ed by the Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association, of Buffalo N. Y, a we'll
known and financially solid business
corporation. No other responsible
manufacturers of medicines have put
their remedies TO such severe tests as
to warrant them to give satisfaction, or
refund the money paid for them.
"Golden Medical Discovery" cures
silver complaint or biliousness, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia, all humors or
blood-taints, skin diseases, sorofulous
sores and tumors and pulmonary con
sumption(which is only scrofula of
the lungs) if taken in time and given
fair trial. Chronic catarrh in the
head, bronchitis and throat diseases,
are also cured by this most wonderful
blood-purifer ana invigorating tonic.

A Reliable Port Wins.

Mr. A. Speer, of New Jersey, whose
Port Grape wine has such wide repu-

80 generally, was the first in this country
to import Port Wine Grape vines
from the banks of the River Dours, in
Portugal, where the finest old ports
were made, and to plant vineyards of
them in New Jersey. His Port, Bur-
gundy and Claret which are nov the
best to be had, have become a great
favorite among the fashionable New
York, Philadelphia and Washington
society.
Druggists sell it.

sheriff of Northumberland County,
with posse of men, yesterday began
at Georgetown to work up the river to
Sunbary, tearing out fish dams, kind
of work that requires considerable skill
and strength. Sheriff Sheesley will
pretty soon turn his attention TO the
fish dams in Dauphin County.

In the case of the commonwealth
against the Pennsylvania live stock
insurance company, of Philadelphia,
Judge Simonton has granted an order
requiring the company to appear on

In this weeks issue of the Journal
Of United Labor, the official order of
the Knights of Labor, there will ap-
pear leading editorial denying the
report relative to the alleged disrup.
tion of the order aud of the bankrupt
condition of its treasury. The article
says that the reason the general lec-
turers were called in was on account
of the special fund of $4,000 having
become exhausted. The executive
board has no authority to draw on the
general fund for any other purpose
than to meet general expenses. The
statement that the general executive
board was working without salary is
branded as a lie, as are other state
ments concerning Mr.. Powderly.

up its life to save the community. The
river was very high and the dyke
which had been built to keep out the
waters h,d given way in one place,
when the cat happened to pass by and
realizing the condition of affairs, crawl
ed into the hole and stopped the flood.
1t is estimated that $4,000 and num-
Der of lives were saved by the heroic
animal, and the villagers have built .

mice carved in reliet, over her remains

Eight Thousand Noble Paupers.
From a So. Petersburg Letter.

According to an official report just
issued the number of mendicants and
avowed paupers in receipt of public
relief and charity in the four principal
cities of Russia in Europe includes no
less than S235 noblemeD, among whom
there are many princes, counts and
bsrons. The clergy in these cities
furnishes further contingent of 5000
to 1000 o. paupers in receipt of state
and communal relief. Sebastopol en-.
joys the proud and unique distinction
in Russia of not having a single pauper
or mendicant within its walls. Mos
COW, on the other hand, has no les,
than $4,000 on its books.

The coal trade shows greater activity,
but the policy of restriction is still en-
forced.
The circular prices are now main
tanned except in a few cases. So
marked has been the restriction that a
sudden increase in the demand is like
ly to come at any time. The stock on
hand September was 795,740 tons.
1t is believed that the output for the
year will not exceed 36,000,0OO of
tons. The output at the close of last
week amounted to 24,603,219 tons
compared with 26,695,784 tons in the
same period of 1888, decrease of g.
092, 500 tons. There was decrease
in the December output Of over a mil
lion tons, as compared with the pre-
ceeding month. The approach of cold
weather has stimulated the trade, and
a short but active season is expected.
