A CIiILD's LAUGHTER.

All the bells Of heaven may ring,
All the birds Of heaven may sing.
All the wells Of earth may spring,
All the winds OF earth may bring
All sweet sounds together;
sweeter far than all things heard.
Hand of harper, tone of bird.
Sound OF woods at sundawn stirred,
yelling waters winsoms word.
Wind In warm wan weather.
One thing yet there Is that none
Hearing ere its chime be done
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun.
Hoped In heaven hereafter;
SOFT and strong and loud and light,
Very sound Of very light
Heard from the MORNINGS rosiest height.
When the soul Of all delight ..
Fillsa child's clear laughter.
Golden bells OF welcome rolled
Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours no blithe in tones so bold
as the radiant mouth Of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
1f the golden-crcstcd wren
Were a nightingale--why,t then
something seen and heard OF men
Might be half rs sweet as when
Laughs child Of seven. ....

TIPPU TIB ON SLAVERY.

White Men Have Incorrect Ideas of Afro
Arabian Manners and Customs.
"Tippu lib, on his way to Mecca, said
recently: "White men have incorrect
ideas of our manners and customs.
They have the effrontery to propose to
abolish at once in other lands institu.
tions which quite recently fourished in
their own. 1 am told that in q big
country called Russia some years ago
nearly all the common people were
slaves, and great misery had befallep
them since they became their own mas
tiers. What is the difference between a
slave and a servant?
THE servant is free and may leave
his master when he pleases. So may

them from deserving me. They are
too we'll content with their lot to run
away. If you were unjust to them per-
haps they might flee, But what would
happen to them? They would simply
fall once more into the power of their
equals, to be sold again, to be maltreat-
ed, to be killed perhaps, or to toll, very
likely twice as hard as they did before.
You say it is immoral to own slaves;
that slavery debases men and puts them
on level with cattle.

it is only because they are offered to us,

IF you call it immoral to compel men
to work for their bread, men who would
rather steal it than win it honorably,

morality rests. If all the savages and

! ooe.s WONDERFUL ElpELlrY.

His Master Was Killed But the Dog Still
Guarded His Coat and Pail.
"a touching incident happened in my
town the other day." said resident Of
Piqua, o., to reporter of the St. Louis
Star-Sayings, land one which demon
strates tho instinct and fidelity of dog.
"A neighbor of mine was the owner
of a handsome Newfoundland, which he
had reared from puppy, and to which
he was much attached. The dog re-
turned his owners affection, and was
extremely fond of following him to his
days work. The master did not en-
courage this, but sometimes the New
foundland would creep along stealthily
in the rear until he was too far from
home to be sent back, and then would
come to the front with every sign Of de-
light in his own cleverness- One morn
ing about three weeks ago he had fol-
lowed his way to a house where his
master was at work upon the roof. To
keep the dog from straying away the
man put down his coat and dinner pail
and said: There, old fellow, you fol-
lowed me without leave and now you
may stay and watch my things The
dog lay down as he was directed and
course of the forenoon the man fell
from a scaffold and was killed. His
body was carried to his homo, where
his wife was lying i'll, but no one could
induce the dog to leave his post beside
the coat and dinner pail. For two days
he remained and refused to eat ana
CRASHED histceth whenever an attempt
was made to remove the things of which
he had been left in charge. AT the end
of that time the wife of the dead man,
too i'll to leave her bed, suggested that
the dog would obey her little son, boy
of two and one-half years, just old
enough to talk plainly. The boy was
taken to the place, and, moved by tho
loss of his father and the excitement of
the moment, rall to the dog, put his
arms around his shaggy neck, and burst
into tears. The dog seemed to under
stand that this was no ordinary fit of
weeping. He licked the childs hair
soothingly, and when the boy took up
his fathers coat and pail the faithful
creature followed submissively at his
heels as if he recognized the little one
now as his master"

BOTTLES BY MACHINERY.


The First Successful Attempt to Thus
Make Them in This Country.
During the last six weeks the Amer
lean Bottle Company, whose works are
located at Woodbury., n. j., have suc-
ceeded in making bot+.es by machinery,
being the first successful attempt to do
SO in this country, says the New York
Sun. The machinery used is an Eng
lish invention, which has been used
in that country for two years. The
glass is gathered in the usual way and
allowed to run from the rod into an iron
cup, which measures the quantity
needed for making the bottle. From
below hollow iron plunger is pushed
up through the bottom of the cup and
through the mass, and the cup is re-
versed, leaving the glass suspended
from the hollow plunger. The cup,
which is hinged, is then removed, and
the movement of lever admits small
qua nifty Of air through the plunger,
after which the bulb is flattened at the
bottom and dropped into the mold,
which is then closed and the air APP
piled. This completes the bottle, which
is taken while hot to the annealing
oven.
BY the old process the ring at the top
of the bottles neck was made by a sec
ond operation. By the machine the
bottle comes from the mold complete.
Men totally inexperienced in the hand
ling of glass are able, it is said, after
six weeks practice, to turn out as much
as an experienced blower with blow
nine.

Private Art Collections In Rome.

The Italian government having abol-
ished the law of succession, by virtue Of
which the great private art collections
in Rome descended to the eldest son of
each family with the bulk OF the
parental fortune, these famous collece
tions are now In danger of being scat
vidcd among tho children, and the ex-
pense of maintaining the galleries for
the public benefit falls heavily upon the
head Of the family. Several owners
having sold some of their finest works
to defray these expenses, the govern
ment is alarmed at the prospect of the
national masterpieces leaving the coun-
try and is considering measures to pre-
vent it and keep the galleries open to
the public.

something great. In this light she had
very much at heart the long-carried
idea that her son should be an artist,
which, taken together with their wealth,
might lift and float them in the end
among the social peaks. To this end she
early directed his attention to the
brush, forgetting, or not knowing,
that he or she. who from dearth of in
clinatlon turns not to art as child

while the boy remained at school he

ALLIGATOR AND SHARK.
They Begin Desperate ARRAY, Which
Was Never Finished.

They Begin a Desperate ARRAY, Which
Was Never Finished.
A surveying corps at the mouth of
the St. Sebastian river related to a
gentleman, few days ago, at Titus
vile, and he to reporter of the Palatl1a
Herald, the particulars of a most des-
perate encounter between an alligator
and shark at the first mentioned place.
The engineers had pitched their tents
near the river, and just above its mouth,
and were eating their dinner under q
small clump of palms.
AL at once their attention was at
tracted to violent commotion in the
water near the shore. At first the
bodies were SO active and made the
spray, interIningled with blood, so
heavy that they could not make out
what the two objects were. Finally,
after about half an hour of such work,
the monsters seemed to be growing
weak and weary. 1t was then discov-
cred to be fight to the death between
a large alligator and a nan-eating
shark. The former seemed to be trying
to get to shallow water, while the shark
was equally as determined not to go.
The fight was still going on, although
growing less vigorous all the time,
when one of the parties got his Win
chester and shot them both.
On pulling them ashore the alligator
was found minus a foreleg, bit off as
smooth as if cut off with a surgeons
knife. The shark had numerous ugly
gashes on his body which would prob
ably have killed him soon. The party
skinned the alligator and saved some OF
the teeth Of the shark as mementoes OF
this singular and sanguinary encounter.

JUDGE wADDILL Is RETICENT.

But He il Pleased at the Mshone-Langston
Reconciliation.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 26.-Ex-Congressma
Edmund Waddill, who is represented to have
been the leading spirit in bringing about the
alleged reconciliation between Malone and
Langston, while cautiously reticent, is evil
IDENTIFY quite we'll pleased with the prospect of
seeing the warning factions of his party in Yir-
ginia brought together.
He says he has always been peacemaker and
believed that harmony could be secured If
proper steps were made.
He will not admit that he was in Washing
ton at the time of the meeting between Ma
hone and Mr.. Langston, as described in The
STAR.
Judge Waddill was asked If Malone and
Langston favor Mr.. Harrisons denomination,
but he was reticent.
The reconciliation between Malone and
Langston is accepted here as q certain indica-
ton that Malone is preparing to take
an active part in politics in the COM
ing presidential campaign. His joining hands
with Langston. the man he has SO bitterly
denounced and to defeat whose political aspira-
30 much money, is accepted as an indication
that the combination means a concentration
upon presidential candidate.
1t is understood from very good authority
that Mr.. LangstOn does not expect the new cir
cult judgeship and has no idea that he could
getit il he were an aspirant. The same authority
believes that Langston is not unfavorable to
ex-Congreseman Wsddiii claims for the posi-
ton.

THERE IS SOME HITCH,
A Rumor Regarding the Proposed Visit Of
the Canadian Commission.

A Rumor Regarding the Proposed Visit Of
the Canadian Commission.
CHICAGO, March GA special dispatch from
Ottawa, Ont, says: There has evidently been
some hitch in the projected trip Of Sir Charles
Upper and his colleagues to Washington, and
it is believed that it is to the refusal of New
foundland refusing to jointly negotiate with
Canada for reciprocity with the United States
that the delay may be attributed.
1t is learned, however, from q reliable
quarter that a meeting of the cabinet is to be
held to discuss the matter when some definite
action may be decided upon. Sir Charles view
Of what reciprocity should be and the
limits to which the dominion govern
ment is prepared to join the negota-
tions are somewhat at variance. Sir
Charles idea is more liberal in its scope and
application than the view of his colleagues. Sir
Charles, during the recent campaign, while in
Nova Scotia assured the electors OF that prov
ince that whatever arrangement might be made
for the reciprocal exchange Of commodities
between Canada and the United States there
would be no modification in the duty imposed
upon bItuminous coal imported from the United
States. 1t is learned that this assurance was
given upon his own responsibility and that
several members OF the cabinet, especially those
from Ontario, are opposed to any such arrange
ment
