THE OLD FOOT LOG.

Its mates have fallen, one by one
Their shade no more the Wild birds greet
Across the stream still running on
Between the fields Of growing wheat
Ger It the pathway wanders down,
Through holIows deep. round wooded hill;
No rule TO follow but its own,
II bends winds the ripping rill-
stand and gaze about to-day,
At woodland haze, at changing sky;
The memories ofthe far away
With shadowy years come hurrying BY
Iuuse upon the fricnds-a host
Who lie within the churchyard low;
The feet that once so ninbly crossed
Have feeble grown and very slow
Here. merry children ran and played,
Where butterflies danced in the air,
a fairy garden nc'cr TO fade,
With flowers blooming everywhere.
Here grew the violet's modest cup
Low in the fern, sweet surprise.
Methinlls 1 see her looking up,
Their hue within her gentle eyes.
The long, long years have fed away;
Ihcar once more quiet voice,
AS wandering by this narrow way
She bade my sorrowing soul rejoice
She sleeps with vioIets on her bed,
Their hearts die out in fragrance there
And yet, above, so softly spread,
In beauty waves the maiden-hair.
Take but a blossom aud 4 spray,
Else might this day seem but a dream,
TovaniSh with the mists away,
To die with murmurs OF the stream
Ali Life may lead through desert ways
And, lacking Joy, all sorrow prove;
Yet still, when done are earthly days,
'Twere worth 1t all TO only-love.

Weeping Trees in the Northwest.

In the forests of Washington and
British Columbia 1 have frequently seen
trees dripping copiously during clear,
bright DAYS, when no dew was visible
elsewhere. The dripping was SO pro-
fuse that the ground underneath was
almost saturated. The phenomenon in
this case was caused by the remarkable
condensing power of the leaves of the
fir, and II occurred only when the rela-
tive humidity was near the dew point
The dripping ceases after ten or eleven
o'clock IN the morning, but resumes at
or near sunset. In Hakluyt's Voyages"
there is an account of Hawkins second
voyage to Africa and America, written
by gentleman who sailed with Haw-
llins. IN which we are told that in the
island of Ferro there is a weeping tree
that supplies all the men and beasts
of the island with drink, there being no
other available water supply Further,
he states that in Guinea he saw many
weeping trees, but of a species different
from that at Ferro.

press train in the near future viii in
all probability contain one or more pow
erful motors ON the axis of it's drivers,
and aggregating perhaps 1000 horse
power as normal output 1t will be
lighted and heated by electricity. The
track over which it viii run will be
straight and smooth, like the great En-
glish trunk lines of to-day. The train
will start smoothly into motion, fly
along the track at the rate of one hun
dred miles an hour or more, and stop
quickly and easily by applying its cleo
trio brakes. An automatic block sys-
tenn will be used that will secure perfect
control of the trains and almost absolute
immunity from collisions.

That the Trouble Came in the Navy as
well as in North Carolina "Once
Upon Time.''
lBy United Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Secretary
of the Navy this afternoon appointed
Admiral Harmony Greer, Capt. Weaver
and Lieut.. Lemly Judge Advocate, mem
bers of court of inquiry, to convene
next Monday at Hampton Roads, to in
vestigate the charges preferred against
Capt. Reed, of the U. S. S. flagship
Richmond, by Acting Rear Admiral
Gillis. The vessel has just ar
rived at Roads from Montevideo,
where she was the flagship Of the South
Atlantic Squadron in command of Lieu
tenant Commander Louis Kingsley
Capt. Reed having been temporarily
deDosed for INSTRUMENTATION. y The offic-
ials at the Navy department, while re
fusing to divulge the official charges
which the court will investigate, take a
humorous view Of the question and
evade all interrogations by quiet smile
which has lately developed into a
broad and pronounced grin when even
the subject is mentioned. It is learned
however, that the trouble between Ad
miral Gilis and Capt. Reed is of a per
sonal nature and primarily involves
the question whether or not Capt Reee
exceeded his authority when severa
months ago on the South Atlantic sta
ton he discharged cook whose abilit.
to serve epicurean dishes was questioned
by the Captain.

COLUMBIA, s. c., July AT no
meeting of the present State campaign
has such bad blood been displayed as
yesterday at Winnsborough, the home
of Gen. Bratten, one of the candidates.
Gen. Bratten was accorded respectful
silence from the crowd who listened to
him, Gen. Earls' speech was inter
rupted by yells and cries of "sit down"
and "let the man speak," "you can't
change us we are going to put Tillman
in, "run him out, boys"
When Capt. Tillman arose it was fully
five minutes before he could speak, so
great was the applause on one side and
the Kissing on the other. After speak
ing short while he said something that
again put the crowd to yelling, and all
efforts to silence them were in vain.
Some one told him to sit down. This
produced the widest excitement. A
score of Tillman's followers rushed on
the stand and lifted Tillman from his
seat, into which he had dropped, and
carried him to the edge of the platform
They swore he should speak. At this
point the attention of the audience was
called to the fact that twenty of Mr.
Tillman's supporters on the stand had
their hands on their pistols. At this
announcement there was the greatest
confusion. The ladies fled from the
meeting and an eye witness reports
hundred pistols in sight at the same mo
ment. A terrible rush was momentaril,
expected and single shot or blow
would have brought it on. The tension
was very great until the end of tn
most heated meeting of the campaign
