THE RATTLE OF ApIA BAY.

The portfolios black looked over the bay
To the ports ON the outher side;
And the gun in each grim square portfolio
dim
Is guarding nations pride.
Two fleets are they In an alien sea,
And whether as friends or foes,
TIL the diplomats prattle decides their
battle.
Nor sailor nor captain knows.
But strange to each is the sun that starts
The pitch In the white decks seams,
While the watch, half-dosing, with eyes
half-closing,
Go home In their waking dreams.
And strange is the land that lies about,
And the folk with faces brown,
To the Pommerland boy with the yellow
And the boy from Portland town.
And each looks over the bay to each
Is the end Of it peace or WARP
And the wish that's best In each brave
young breast
Is the wish for a run ashore.
%
Death came out of the sea last night
Death is abroad this morn
The water is over the warship's PROV,
Aud her snow-white sails are torn.
And the bright blue waves that leap to
catch
The CLINT of the tropic sun
Roll overhead, and beneath are the dead,
For the battle is fought and won.
There's the Pommerland boy with his yell
low beard,
And the Maine boy, bearded brown;
And there's weeping sore on the Pommel-
land shore
There are tears in Portland town.
o ships that guard two nations pride,
Death had no need for ye
They went to their fate through no mans
hate
Deaths servant was the Sea,

THE MAGAzINn JOKE.

Henry I. Bailcap of Point Remove, Ind,
writes that he desires to contribute jokes to
the leading magazines. ''Can YOU" he
asks, "give me any instruction as to the
proper form to employ? know that the
magazine anecdote is different from the
newspaper joke, and not knowing exactly
wherein this difference lies, IT behooves me
to prepare myself before offering anything
to our great periodicals"
Nothing is easier of construction, Mr.
Bailcap, than the magazine anecdote. Its
beauty consists Of its clean-cut simplicity.
1t makes but little difference what you say,
The main idea is to say It in the proper
form--ln short, TO start off In the way
poited out by the eastern Magazine Joke
Manual" first printed In 1850, by j. w.
Fetherstone & Company, Boston. We have
the manual before us, and take pleasure in
copying some of its forms:
"In the village of K---t there once lived a
noted local divine whom we shall designate
as the Rev. Mr.. b.
''Dr. -, of - street, Boston, at a din
ner one evening, related the following anec
dote at the expense of the great merchant,
L-.ne
IA little girl, the daughter Of the we'll
known Mrs. S., while visiting with her
mother at the house OF Colonel o."
BY close following of these forms, Mr..
Bailcap, you cannot make a mistake, for
this manual, although attempts have been
made in the West to supercede it, still re-
mains the standard. Professor Bandy-
shanke, of Gravestone college, recently
sent to the publishers the following high
testimonial:
at is with pleasure that indorse THE
Eastern Magazine Joke Manual :have
used 1t for forty eight years with marked
pleasure and success. When took up the
manual (having, after many failures, been
advised by friends to use it), had but little
confidence in its efficacy, but after short
trial l discovered, to my great satisfaction,
that had become quite a hum9rist !
could not be induced to use any other
manual. will, in few days, send you
specimens Of my performances, before and
after using your wonderful publication"
We reproduce this testimonial, Mr..
Bailcap, not as an advertisement, but to
show you that the work is commended by
one Of the greatest joke writers in the East.

The consumption OF peanuts is 100000
bushels season, and the highest produc-
ton is but 100000 bushels more. All
these peanuts are raised in Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee, but the Tennessee
production is comparatively small. Dur
ing the peanut harvest the people, picka-
ninnies, the dogs, pigs and nearly every
thing that eats gets fat in the land of the
peanut. Peanuts are planted at corn
planting time; each kernel produces a
running vine like crab grass, and each root
develops about twenty pods. When ripe
the pillow Is run through the loamy soil, on
dry day, just before frost, The nuts are

The; New York Centennial.

4 The action Of the Pennsylvania authors
ties In sending the State militia to New
York to be CHARTERED at the expense Of the
Centennial Committee has been the occa-
sion of more thana mild surprise. This is
further heightened, says New York cor
respondent, by the suggestion of the Phila-
phia Press that such proceeding ought to
be taken as sort of stand-off for the food
given the New York militia regiments there
when they were en- route TO the front in
the late war. The thrift Of the idea strikes
the New York mind rs simply immense.
The centennial committee on the plat
form details at the sub-treasury, Messrs.
Gardner Sherman, a descendant OF Roger
Sherman; Roger De Vint, great-grandson
Of Colonel w. s. Smith; Lewis L. Living
stop, grcat-grandson of Colonel Morgan
Lewis, the grand marshal Of the inaugura-
tion parade; T. b. Blocker, jr., great
grandson Of Mayor Leonard Blocker, one
of the assistants; Thomas Jefferson
Coolidge, great grandson OF President
Jefferson, and Brooks Adams, great-grand-
son Of President John Adams. In these
the men who were about Washington a
hundred years ago on the sub-treasury site
have representatives, and In the Messrs.
Webb, Fish, De Vint and Livingston the
have direct representatives The full of
fetal programme Of the whole celebration
was given out this evening.
The merchants Of New York are not sat
isfied with the concession Of four days
time given to the centennial tickets. They
wanted the limit to end on May 10, and
