THE BARD OF Dali
BEATTIE.
MILLBUsH, DALBEATTIE,
SCOTLAND, June 81, 1892.


DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: / have had
another spare hour or two, aud the
result is another Hawaiian song
(ifI may so express it) which I
enclose herewith for the delecta-
ton, or otherwise, of the readers of
the P. G. ADVERTISER and HAWAI-
IAN GAZETTE. I do not know that
L have any right to aff1ict the Ha-
waiian public with these lucubra-
tons of mine, unless it may be
that that enlightened public have
given me more or less encourage
ment in my Irritation with my
muse, who is kind enough to visit
me at intervals. / have been led
to believe that these illusions of
mine have from time to time been
welcomed by the old friends of
mine who are still left to me "where
scenes of enchantment bewilder
the eyes," and in looking back
down the misty chain of years that
is being quickly added to link by
link, I can no more help singing
my songs-imperfect though they
be-than the lark can help singing
his native hymn ON a summer
morning.
With kindest regards and best
wishes, believe me
Yours sincerely,
g. III. EwART.

DECORATIVE PoRTlERE.

n Design Rich Enough for Even tho Fest
Equipped Homo.
OF curtains aud porticres' we can
scarcely have too many, and the one for
which the illustration offers design is
handsome enough to find place in even
the best equipped of homes. 1t is made
OF old-rose colored plantation cloth, in
which as background the decoration
is applied in a deeper shade of the same
color combined with gold. The curious,
sprawley figures, which look more
nearly like some curious form of Jelly
fish than any other natural form, are
cut from plush one shade darker than
the cloth, and are placed at intervals
all over the hanging. Each is first
basted firmly iato place and is then
made permanently fast with COUGHING
of heavy floss. That is, the floss is
carried round oil the edges and is sewed
down with the finest possible gold
thread, so that just tiny bits of bright
ness are visible here and there. The
small circular center OF each figure is
entirely filed with fancy stitches in
gold or is darncd with gold thread one
way and silk the other, so that each
figure has different center, and each

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
You May Have Plenty of Fun on the
Train by Their NIenns.

You MAY Ifavc Plenty of Fun the
Train by Their Means.
AS the train proceeds rapidly over
the level desert my eyes ''fix"-i e.
gaze steadily at-a clump of sage bush
which is probably two miles distant.
The bush seems to move slowly with
the train, while objects between it and
my eyes have an apparent motion in
the opposite direction. OF these latter
the near ones fly pass with great rapid
ity, but the apparent velocity of those
farther removed diminishes until, inst
before the point of fiXation is reached
objects come to an apparent standstill
Beyond the point fixed by my eyes OBJ
jects move in the same direction as the
train, their velocity apparently greater
the farther away they lie.
Suddenly shift my gaze, writes Dr.
Wood in the Popular Science Monthly,
from the sage bush to a large bowlder
which is sailing slowly past, probably
one thousand yards from the train.
Everything is changed at once. The
powders retrogradc progress is arrest
ed; near objects fly by with accelerated
speed; the sage bush clump FORCES
ahead as If to make up for lost time,
while the plain beyond it, iIIdistinct in
the distance, races ahead of every OBJ
jcct in view. And SO l while away
full half hour, making one conspicu-
Gus object after another stand STILL go
ahead, or sail past ut will-all upon the
surface OF this apparently boundless
plain-trying to realize, meantime, that
things are not as the moving panorama
before me indicates. For, relatively to
the train, all objects are passed at an
equal rate, the near as we'll as the dis
tant, those seen by direct as we'll as
those seen by indirect vision. But, in
looking from my car window, am
made the subject of optical illusions

ADDS It's bit OF gllnting gold to the whole
effect.
The lines which run here and there
and serve to connect the several figures
as we'll as to give graceful effect to
the whole are worked with twisted floss
of the same shade as the plush and have
their outlines couched with gold. The
whole result is eminently satisfactory,
and as bit of decoration the hanging
cannot be too highly recommended.
1t can, of course. be carried out
in any color which may best
suit the needs of the individual, but
whether in the old rose, as suggested,
in brown or in one of the lovely olive
shades the same general directions hold
good. The portiere will be found as

moderate expense it can be trusted to

BUILDING BLOWN
Crowded Schoo1-house Wrecked
by a Powder Explosion.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. 1.-THE
Democrats of Mountain View held g.
presidential election celebration in the
district school-house at that place last
night, and a terrible disaster ended
the proceedings prematurely. Anvil
firing and the discharge of fire
works were features of the jollifca-
ton, and as consequence large guam
tity of explosives had been provided.
A portion of these had been stored in
the school-house. During the speech
making, and while the building was
packed with men, women and children,
two kegs of powder exploded.
The results were frlghtful. The
school house was totally wrecked and
most of it's occupants buried in the
ruins. Those who could extricate
themselves at once set about to rescue
the others. Shrieks and means came
from the mass of wrecked tim
bers. The debris took fire in
several places, and it required hard
work to prevent the cremation of the
persons who were imprisoned. The
flames were subdued, however, with
only one person suffering from the fire.
A son and daughter OF Silas Graham
were taken ont dead, and Berry
Sherod, one Of the most prominent
residents Of Washington County, was SO
badly injured that he has since died.
Another man, whose name has not been
learned, was also killed. Fifteen 9th
ers were injured, some fatally, but their
names have not been learned here.
Berry Sherod suffered horrible ago
MES, mentally as we'll as physically, be-
fore he was gotten out of the ruins. He
was pinned down by timber and was
burned beyond recognition. He lived

250 men had applied and very few were
