How my songs are wrought.
Like the blowing Of the wind,

But nothing that is clear,

And sorrow unforlorn,
For there song is born.

PRoFEssoR REMsEN, of the Johns
Hopkins University, in recent lecture,
said that the alchemist's dream Of the
.transmutation Of metals did not seem
chimerical to modern chemistry. A skill
ful chemist, Krause, of Munich, has de-
composed the elements, nickel and cobalt.
It is probable, however, that he simply
discovered their compound natures. In
any event, the discovery is an important
scientific fact, though practically it will
not make the change of metals-from {
nickel TO a silver dollar-that every well
regulated man is striving for.

In oblivion for all times to come.
While the mass of Republicans in
the two lower counties recognize, as

exalted position of Senator Of the United
States. Curses deep and loud are heard
on every hand. and from present appear
auces time will fail to satisfy not
