TO the blue-coat trst-but the gray coat, too.
Grandmother Newcome, of Bingham.
That July day. when the great boats swan
A. the foot OF Vickburg's yellow bluff
When the stars and bars had tiuttered low
And the stars and stripes were hutterng
high
And for one day there was glory enough
Mother Newcome, out OF the glow
OF jubilant triumph, heard the cry
OF one of her wounded soldier boys:
Take me back to my Illinois.
Take me back to my home-to die"
Onward swinging. the huge boats prov,
slowly swinging, moment more
Had left the agOniZed boy ashore
In all the frenzy OF wild despair
To die in this far, hot land of sands,
Aud his cool green prdiries, even now,
Stretching their myriad healing hands
To gather and shelter and heal him there!
mo soldier can come aboard this boat"
HOarscly, its sullen officer said,
In a growl from the depths of his bearded
throat,
With an angry shake of his vicious head.
Dying or living, you stay ashore!
We hare our load: and Wen take no more!"
And at his beckOn the long staqe-p plank
Slowly rose from the sandy bank;
And rending the air with pitiful moan
The sick man sank to the ground like "a stone.
How she did IT, nobody knew;
And nobody knew it less than She:
But right in the face OF the wondering crew.
Right in the teeth Of the angry mate
As Ine plank came up. she walked elutc,
Bearing the wounde boy, somehow,
In a burst Of indignant rcstacy.
/ Der lettering plank safe onto the bow,
| Into the midst of the cheering crew.
/ "There!" she said, as she laid him down
| And facing the mate with threatening frown:
! You throw him out, and you'll throw me,
! tool"
/ Cheer after cheer went up from the bank.
/ Cheers from the bOats-crew after crew
| As the great boat, slowly hauling its plank
| NOrthward into the channel drew.
And happy visions of prairie bright.
! Happy visions for one OF their boys
! Taking his hopeful homeward flight
| Under the more than mOtherly care
/ OF the Dorian matron standing there
| Grandmother Newcome, of Illinois
The degree Of delicacy which has been
attained in the application of the radio
micrometer for the measurement of radi-
ant heat-viz., from candle, fire, the
sun, the moon, the stars, or anything else
which radiates heat through space-is mar
velous An appreciable effect is produced
on the radio-micrometerb by candle placed
two miles away, at which distance its light
is almost comparable to that of barely
visible nebula.

There is a unanimity of opinion as

ills endured, elbow grease judiciously
expended will double discount legisla-

 gentleman who is not avcrse to tipping a waiter when he happens to have the requisite small change, had a curious experience in well-patronized restaurant in Sixth avenue, few nights ago, says the New York Times He took his wife into the restaurant after the theater and enjoyed refreshments, the cost of which footed up one dollar and ninety-five cents. He had not a penny of change, and he handed his waiter a two dollar bill with which to pay his check. Without waiting for the five cents change he started to leave the place. His wife and himself had got us far as the door when the waiter overlook them and rendered the gentle man nickel. ''Oh! keep that" said the man, indifferently. ''No, thank you, sir," said the waiter, very politely; Il beg your pardon, but I can not ac- cept it."
 ''Why not?" said the gentleman, some what impatiently.
 "Because, sir, I am not allowed to take tip of less than ten cents. The walters here have pool, and one of the rules is that no member of the pool shall take less than dime by way of a tip" Tho gentleman, somewhat em- barrassed. explained that the nickel was the only bit of change that he had, whereupon the waiterblandly remarked: "Oh, that is all right, sir; you can hand tt to me the next time you come in"

COLLECTION OF GARBAGE.

A Elan to Turn the Mattcr over to s A. the Town.
 The board of health announced . meeting fer yesterday afternoon, but as usual they could not obtain a quorum for the transaction of business.
 The mayor, the board of selectmen, and F. A. Spencer were present and the question of the collection of the city garbage was discussed. The project of putting the matter into the hands of the town was discussed at length. There are many able bodied men at the almshouse. and the matter of having the superintendent of the almshouse take charge of the gar bage brought out several opinions. It was thought under certan arrange msnts the town could take the job with profit to itself and also give the city sat- isfaction.
 After the meeting Messrs Carmody and Pinney spoke about the plans. MT Carmody said the plan at first seemed to be good one, but he thought it possi- ble that many objections would arise. Mr Pinney did not feel prepared to ap' prove of or condemn the plan at present | but thinks it would work well under certain conditions. He and Mir Car mody will visit New Haven Monday to | inspect the city's system.

Ullie Akerstrom will close her three nights engagement at the opera house this evening, and without a doubt the house will be crowded. After the matinee this afternoon Miss Akerstrom will hold an informal reception on. the stage to exchange greetings with the ladies and children who are present.
 Pincus' Casino Theatre.
 Not content with turning people away Manager Pincus will try a depart lire next week, which should prove a great success. It is this: There will be two distinct and complete performances given each evening. The first com. mences at 7:45 o'clock and the second at 9:15. This gives those who must get to work early in the morning . chance to do so, while the second caters to those who cannot get away from their busi- ness until late. Thr attraction for the inauguration of this new idea will be Morrissey's Mirror of Ireland' and comedy company, which is in reality 6 beautiful pantomimic tour through Ireland ,interspersed with music, novelty dancing and plenty cf fun. The admis sion to the entire performance is only one dime.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-An Irish NJ. P. said to-day: "The solution of the Irish trouble is entirely in the hands of Justin Mccarthy, and there is no doubt that Mir. Mccarthy will do what is best for his country, irrespective of personal feel ings. Healy had an interview with Nc Carthy immediately after the return of the former from Paris, but, it is under stood, without receiving any pledge as to McCarthy's future course. After the arrangement Mir. o'Brien will probably return to America and resume his tour, with the added eciat of Irish leadership and of having put an end to the inter. necine conflict

Boston's Big Willow.

In a recent visit to Boston was very much interested in observing the va rious kinds of weeping trees to be seen in that vicinity. Many that are not at all common, yet quite hardy withal, are to be seen planted in permanent loca- tions and growing thriftily, says a writer in Vick's Magazine. The finest specimen have ever seen stands close to the lake near the bridge, in Boston Public Garden. It is nearly or quite three feet in diameter, with stem of three feet where it branches and spreads its magnificent dropping spray over a circle of seventy-five or eighty feet. Its height is about fifty feet. A drizzling rain prevented my slletching it, but l hope some enterprising horticultural journal will have it photographed and hand it down to posterity as the most perfect weeping willow ever grown the king of willows, in fact.

 County Fair Managers.
 T. c. Cambell, the advance agent for Neil Burgess County Fair" organiza- tion was in the city recently making arrangements for the appearance of that company at the opera house, January 12 and 13. We have five funny little fel- lows travelling with Us" he said, "and they get us into no end of trouble with their pranks. When we arrived in Chicago to open our season, these boys were put in charge of the running horses and instructed to take them from the depot up Michigan boulevard to a certain livery stable.
 All five boys have been employed on race courses, and when they got on that famous street, they could not resist the temptation to race, so up the boulevard they went, sending pedestrians helter skelter. The result was all five horses and boys were taken to limbo, and we had to pay a big fine for racing in the city limits. Those kids are more trouble to us than all the rest of the company put together. They fight, play pranks, get lost and in fact run the show. They are great people among the street boys, for they travel with a show and assume all the airs of actors"

French Opinion on Kocn's Lymph.

PARIS. Jan. l0.--The committee of French physicians appointed to study the Koch system of inoculation as cure for consumption reports that sometimes in- furious results follow the application of the lymph. Extreme caution in its use is claimed to be necessary. The report also states that the cleverest physicians are bewildered in the use of the remedy, and suggests that it is advisable to await further developments before bringing it into general adoption.

after 9 o'clock last evening fire broke out Tn the basement of Hale's block on Main street, directly under Storrs' drug store. The basement was occupied as a paint shop by A. P. Marsh. The fire was soon got under control by the fire department, but not until a loss of B, ,000 had been caused. Storrs' loss is about S1, ,O00, insured.

 The peculiar and pungent odor that arises from the person and the garments of habitual cigarette smokers Is otfen- sive to many ladies, who discern 1t when passing these smokers in the streets, or when sitting near them in the horse cars, and can hardly toler- ate it in the house. Some ladies, it seems, find the fumes of the cigarette more disagrseable than those of the cigar and more sickening even than those of the pipe. There can be no doubt that these facts should be brought within the knowledge of all concerned.a 2
