The ~Telegraphers.

l notice that the papers are very loud
in their praise of the admirable service
rendered during the late conventions by
the United Press, a very deserving thing
to do, but we think you have overlooked
speaking a word of praise to those hard
working and faithful servants Of the
public, namely, the telegraph operators,
by whose skill it was sent and received,
whose skill went far in permitting the
papers to SO quickly set the news before
their readers. True enough, the tele-
graph operator is little thought of and
seldom mentioned. Still, we think they
are a very important instrument in the
progress of our country and would like
to be encouraged.-An Old Operator in

When the jetties were built the

sissippi river were not closed. On
the contrary, they + all there, just
as many of them as there have ever
been in the historic period. The jet
ties were placed in the South pass
when it was only eight feet deep.
Now it is more than thirty feet deep,
giving free passage to the largest
class of ships. Southwest pass. which
was formerly the chief channel Of
navigation and had to be dredged
daily to secure an extreme depth of
eighteen or nineteen feet, is now en-
tirely neglected as a route for COM

chant. when the prince visited Amer
lea he was a very wild young man, and
he had no difficulty in finding plenty of
young swells on this side who could go

the heir to Britain's throne wandered,

Allies of Crime

In the month of June some thousands
Of young lawyers were graduated in the
various law schools of the country,
Nearly all of them began to practice in
some shape at once.
Just before the time for the gradua.
ton proceedings at the schools the
court of appeal of New York state was
pronouncing a decision which should
have been read carefully by all these
young lawyers, and by their older breth-
rem as well.
The decision was in the case of Il muir.
derer who had been convicted two
years before and condemned to death.
The case had been twice brought before
the supreme court of the United States,
and three times before the court of ap-
peal of the state of New York.
The court of appeal, as the result OF
this third resort to it in the case of a
man long before condemned to death,
denied the motion for a rehearing, and
rebuked the means which had been used
to prevent the original sentence from
being carried out.
The court declared that when every
opportunity had been given to all &C,
cused person to make his defense, and
his conviction had been confirmed by
the highest court, the contest should be
at an end. The forms of law should not
be used to subvert the law.
1T ought to be a subject of inquiry
the court said, whether attorneys and
counselors by vexatious proceedings
can become the allies of the criminal
classes and the foes of organized society
without exposing themselves to the dis
ciplinary powers of the supreme court
1t is hoped that this warning will not
be lost upon lawyers to whom the chief
use of the law is to defeat the law

The WAY of the TransgressOr.

Jepson had married his wife for
no reason in the world except that
she had money, though he lied to
her like a pirate, and she thought it
was a love match. Naturally welded
life was not sweet, and Jepson was
getting the bitterest end of it. One
day he met a friend.
"By George" he exclaimed, THAT
wife of mine will drive me crazy"
"What's the matter now9" inquired
the friend consolingly.
"You know my wife has $3.50, 900,
and you know l married her for it
and got it. There is no use lying
about that any further"

Restoring Faded Ink.

Faded ink on old documents, pa
pers, parchments, etc., may be re-
stored so as to render the writing
perfectly legible. The process con
sists in moistening the paper with
water and then passing over the
lines a brush which has been wetted
with a solution of sulphide of am.
monia; the writing will Immediately
appear quite dark in color, and this
color in the case of parchment will
be preserved. On paper, however,
the color will gradually fade again,
but on a fresh application of the sui
phide of ammonia it will reappear.
Writing executed in ordinary ink
which has been rendered illegible by
age may be restored by carefully
moistening it with an infusion OF
gals, or a solution of ferrocyamide
of potassium slightly calculated with
hydrochloric acid. Care must be
taken to apply the liquid so as to pre-
vent the ink from spreading.-Brook

An Electric Lineman Killed.

An electric light went out on the
wharf last evening. 1t was on the top
of a high pole on Nelson's wharf, below
the Canadian Pacific elevators. A line
man, John Gray by name, was sent to
remedy the trouble. He assembled the
pole, fifty feet in height, and swung the
lamp around so that it would come
within his reach. Then he started to fix
it. The next moment the few people
watching him in the semidarkness saw
him lean over and fall to the ground be-
low, striking upon his head. The Notre
Dame ambulance was called, but the
man was dead before it reached him.

NIGHT IN NEW YORK.
Haunted by unknown feet

Haunted by unknown feet
Ways of the midnight hour!
Strangely you murmur below me,
Strange is your half silent power.
Places Of life and Of death,
Numbered and named as streets,
What, through your channels of stone,
Is the tide that unweariedly beats?
A whisper, q sigh laden breath,
Is all that I hear OF it's flowing.
Footsteps of stranger and foe
Footsteps Of friends, could we meet
Alike to me in my sorrow:
Alike to a life left alone.
Yet swift as my heart they throb;
They fall thick as tears on the stone:
My spirit perchance may borrow
New strength from their eager tone.
Still ever that slip and slide
OF the feet that shuttle or glide,
And linger or haste through the %populous
waste
OF the shadowy. dim lit square!
And I know not, from the sound,
As I sit and ponder within,
The goal to which those steps are bound
On hest of mercy, or hest of sin,
Or joys short measured round;
Yet a meaning deep they bear
In their vaguely mufled din.
Roar of the multitude,
Chafe of the million crowd,
To this you are all subdued
In the murmurous, sad night airi
Yet whether you thunder aloud,
Or hush your tone to a prayer,
You chant amain through the modern
maze
The only epic of our days.
Still as death are the places of life;
The city seems crumbled and gone,
Sunk mid invisible deeps-
The city so lately rife
With the stir of brain and Drawn.
HAPPY it only sleeps;
But what if indeed it were dead,
And another earth should arise
To greet the gray of the dawn?
Fain Their our epic would wall
To those who should come in our stead.
But what if that earth were ours?
What if, with holier eyes,
We should meet the new hope and not
fail?
Weary, the night grows pale;
With q blush as of opening flowers
Dimly the east shines red.
Can it be that the morn shall fulfill
My dream, and refashion our clay
AS the poet may fashion his rhyme?
Hark to that mingled scream
Rising from workshop and mill
Hailing some marvellous sight;
Mighty breath Of the hours,
Poured through the trumpets of steam:
Awful tornado of time,
Blowing us whittier it will!
God has breathed in the nostrils of night,
And behold, it is day!
