Through lovely wood and sleeping dales'
sweet murm' ring, as when yernal gales
Float through the greening trees
Flows soft and mild, lovely sight,
Famed by the airy breeze.
Between their banks in dreamy bliss
The waves their glorious tlowrels Kiss
That gently, gently, wave.
In breaking winds the flowers sleep,
The floating waves watch DER them keep,
And smiling sweetly, lave.
At evenings dawn in crimson fold,
The purple web of clouds aud gold
Across the h eavens flows.
The moon, silyery flowing gem.
Floods bright tn skies, or lights the hrm
OF fwaves that gleam like SHOWS.
The stars like daughters of the hour
Clean bright upon their azure bower
The moon before the stud.
The soft waves glow, the grand light hoats
on blazing waves, while soitened notes,
Fleet DER the silVery flood.

And listen To the balmy sighs.

Hindoo Magic--the China Duck
Trick.

In 1873 | was stopping III the city OF Al
lallabad. near the center of India on the
Indian Peninsular EdiiwTy, giving perfor-
mances in the Railway Theater, says Il
traveller. Every day party of native jug
glers We're in the habit of visiting our ho-
tel and exhibiting their skill on the plaza
in front Of the building. One day | was
particularly attracted by an old Hindoo,
his son, and daughter, who squatted down
on the ground and waited for the crowd of
sightseers to gather round. They did not
have long to wait When enough specta-
tors had come to make the performance
profitable the old fellow drew from the
bag that all Indian jugglers use 10 convey
their properties in, small earthenware
jar filed with muddy water. He first
spriIkled few drops Of water on the
ground and then placed the jar upon three
small stones, which lac also took from the
bag.
He then produced IA small china dnck
and gave it to ne for inspection. | found
nothing noticeable about it. He asked me
to put it in water | did so, and it imme-
diately sank to the bottom. He next drew
from the bag a small tom TOM little mu-
steal instrument that emits drumming
sound when the handle is turned, and be
gan waving it around the jar. Instant
ly the duck arose to the surface. lie told
me to touch it. | tried to do So when the
bird again disappeared, to reappear again
and again at the juggler's will. / must
confess that | was mystiGed. There was
apparently no cause for the strange actions
of the little bird. 1t was only after the
third or fourth visit Of the eonjuror that
discovered the secret OF the trick
1t was a particularly bright, sunny day,
and had chosen q place among the spec
tators slightly nearer than the others were
allowed. | was behind the scenes, as il
We're. While attentively watching the
trick, | noticed in the sunshine the sparkle
of long hair that extended from the tom
tom to the jar The moment | saw this |
OWNED the iuggler'5 secret, and l after
ward found that my theory was correct.
The lar already contained china duck
precisely similar to the one l L ad cxamin-
ed, save that it was buoyant. Attached
to the breast of this duck was the hair.
This hair came through a tiny hole in the
bottom of the jar. The water was sprink-
led on the ground, the hair was fastened
so that the duck could not rise to the sur
face
As the juggler picked up Lil tom tom it
was an easy matter for him to fasten the
end Of the hair to it by means of bit Of
wax. After this was arranged you can
see how easily he was able to make this
counterfeit duck bob up and down at the
word of commamd.-POttery Gazette.

Iceberg Dust.

One of the most interesting c0ntribu-
tions of Prof Nordenskjold TO popular sci
cnce is his examination--when about So
n. lat. before reaching Parry's Island, TO
the northwest of Spitzbergen-of the snow
which covered the icebergs, and which
had come from still higher latitudes. He
found il strewn with multitude OF minute
black particles, spread over the surface or
situated at the bottom of little pits, a great
number of which were to be seen on the
outer layer of snow; many of such PARTICLES
were also lodged in the lower strata. The
dust, which became gray on drying, the
professor found to contain large proper
ton of metallic PARTICLES attracted by the
magnet, and capable Of decomposing sui
phate OF copper. An observation made a
little later upon other icebergs proved the
presence of similar dust in a layer of gran
ulnr Crystalline snOw situated beneath a
stratum Of light fresh snow. and another
of hardened snow Upon analysis, Prof
Nordenskjold found this matter to be com
posed in varying proportions Of metallic
iron. phosphorus, cobalt, and fragments Of

Jim Butler was one of those men called
in the west Gland poor" Early in the his
tory of Rock river he had come into the
town and started in the grocery business in
n small way, occupying n small building in
"A mean part of the town. At this period
of his life he earned all he got, aud was up
early and late, sorting beans, working over
butter, and carting his goods to and from
the station But change came over him
at the end of the second year, when he sold
a lot of land for four times what he paid
for it. From that time forward he believed
in land speculation as the surcst way of
getting rich. Every cent lie could save or
spare from his trade he put into land at
forced sale, or mortgages on land, which
were Gust ~ good as the wheat" he was
accustomed to say.
Farm after farm fell into his hands, until
he was recognized as one of the leading
land owners of the county. His mortgages
were scattered all over Cedar county. and
as they slowly but surely fell in, he sought
usually to retain the former owner as
tenant.
lie was not ready To foreclose indeed he
had the name of being one of the easiest
men in the town. He let the debtor off
again and again, extending the time when
ever possible.
II don't want your land, " he said "All
/ want is the interest on my money--that's 3
all Now, ify' want to stay ON the farm
why, I'll give y q good chance. l can't
have the land layin' vacant" And in
many cases the owner remained n tenant
In the meantime he had sold his store;
he couldn't spend time in it; he was main
~ occupied now with sitting around town
on rainy days, smoking and gassin' with
the "boya," or in riding 10 aud from his
farms In fishing time he tished u good
deal Doc Grimes, Ben Ashley and Cal
Cueathau were his crOnie5 on these fishing
excursions or hunting trips in the time Of
chickens and partridges. In winter they
went to northern Wisconsin to shoot deer
In spite of these signs Of easy life, Butler
persisted in saying he hadn't money
enough to pay taxes on his land and was
careful to convey the impression that he
was poor in spite OF mis- twenty firms. At
orc time he was said To be worth fny
thousand dollars, but land had been little

What the SUN Says.

NEE YORK, August 1a,-The Sun sum-
marizes the strike situation as follows:
Mr.. Powderly submitted to Vice Presi-
dent Webb what is in effect the ulti-
matum of the Knights of Labor propo-
sition to submit to arbitration the differ
ences between the New York Central
and the strikers. Mr.. Webb replied that
the men whose discharge was complained
of had not been dismissed because they
were knights of Labor. and that there
was nothing to arbitrate. Mr.. Pow
derby was in consultation at Buffalo,
with the heads of all the unions of rail-
road employees except the engineers. The
result of their deliberations was not pub
licly announced, but two members of the
conference are authority for the state
ment that general strike will be or
dered today on all the roads in which the
Vanderbilts hold a controlling interest
These lines are the New York Central,
West Shore, the Lake Shore, the Michi-
gan Central, the Canada Southern and
the Chicago & Northwestern.
Mr.. Webb said to Sun reporter last
night after giving out the letter: / don't
know that can add much to what have
written. We are in this fight to stay.
Wo will not arbitrate. We will fight.
Some of our men have been discharged
for cause and we will neither take them
back nor submit to arbitration our reass
ons for discharging them. They were
not discharged because they were Knights
OF Labor. That we have stated again
and again. We feel that we have the
support of all right minded men in our
cause. Messrs. Wright and Holland
of the executive board, were unaware Of
the nature OF Mr.. Webb's reply to Mr..
Powderly's letter until informed by the
reporters. They were unwilling to DIS
cuss 1t and said that nothing could be
done in the matter until MIR. Powderly
returned. Mr.. Wright said: 81 expect
the chief and the supreme council of
federation at 1880 3. m. Tuesday. As
soon as they arrive they will go into scs-
sion and will probabably confer with the
general executive board Of the Knights.
I have no doubt that they will take
prompt action. From what l heard of
Mr.. Webb's letter, think that Mr..
Powderly has tho best Of tho dispute so
far"
When asked if there was any possibil-
fly Of tho supreme council ordering a
general strike he said, 81 cannot say
what will be done. Should they take
that action I think We could keep the
road tied up for year or so."
