one Of the parties implicated in the
attack ON old man Lamrock and his
wife, Of Decatur County, recently,

during the latter part of last week
they located Mitchell on the Abe

at Thompson's Point on Tennessee
River. At an early hour Sunday
morning the officers rode up to the
house of a man named Gwinn on
the above farm and called him out.
Mitchell, who was at breakfast, con-
fronted them with double-barrel
shotgun and warned them that he
was desperate by throwing the gun
to his shoulder as if to fire on them.
But the officers were not to be
bluffed in this manner, and contin-
ed to advance upon Mitchell, who
threw his gun to the ground and
ran for life. The officers gave
chase, and several shots were fired
at him-one of which it is thought
took effect in his eg-but they fail.

Thou art safe in Graded rest. birding in a
IT'S weary world, no doubt but thou hast not
found it out;
Only love has sheltered thee, from thousand
prrils free.
Coming to the world stranger. thou hast
known nor fear nor danger;
Little king from morn to night. ruling in thy
sovereign right
Golden head on pillow laid; violet eyes meath
Dimpled hands and dainty feet; cheeks like
roses. flushed and sweet.
Gift of gifts to mother given, making home an
earthly henven.
Meath the spreading angel wings, where the
chtld's own angel sings.
Far and wide the angels fly, sweeping down
Some to watch Ger beds of pain, some to
hover DER the main.
This to bid bright dream perish, that n SUM-
ny hope to cherish,
But the dearest angel still guards the house.
Here and there are brawl and strife, there
and here is buOyant life
Dancing feet that trip to measure, hearts that
throb with gnyest pleasure.
In the baby's day is calm, Isles Of peace in
And the baby has no care. yet too young for
Gullo or snare.
Life shall bring thee many grace. baby. in
this holy place,
Health and wealth and youth and fire, love
and Joy and hearts desire.
Never in the time to be shall the angel turn

Never, till the heavens are dim, cease to chant
thy cradle hymn.
As w"tch the angel light in that guardian
form Tonight,
Something dual battles thought, strangely are
my f ncies wrought.
Could the look be less Elysian if the radiant

Wore no pinions floating wide, wore no beauty

Only looked as mothers do when the mothers
heart breaks through
Eyes that were the baby SIS sky, though no SER

How Plate GIass 10 Made.

A visit to plate-glass works reveals
nothing more interesting than the cast
ing tables, whence come the heavy
plate glass that is used in all shop win
dows. The casting tables the snperin-
tendent tells you are the most import
ant pieces Of apparatus in the establish.
ment. Each table is about 20 feet
long. Is feet wide. and inches thick,
strips of iron on each side Of the table
afford bearing for the rollers and
determine the thickness of the plate Of
glass to be cast.
The rough plate is commonly nine
sixteenths Of an inch thick, but after
polishing is reduced to six or seven
sixteenths. The casting tables are
mounted on wheels and run on a track
that reaches every furnace aud anneal-
ing oven in the building.
The table having been wheeled as
near as possible to the melting fur
mace, the pot Of molten glass is lifted
by means Of a crane and its contents
poured quickly out on the table. The
heavy iron roller then passes from end
to end, spreading the glass to uniform
thickness. All this is done in half the
title it takes to tell it, each move being
made by skilled men in the quickest
possible time.
In contact with the cold metal of the
table the glass cools rapidly. Then the
door of the annealing room is opened
and the plate of glass introduced. The
floor of the oven is on the same level
as the casting table, so that the trans
fer can be made quickly. When. after
several days, the glass is taken out Of
the oven its surface is very rough and
uneven. 1t is used in this condition
for skylights and other purposes where
strength is desired rather than trans
parency. The greater part of the
