The Coming Man.

There never has been anv formidable CD
position To President Harrison. and the real
ipsIgnlticance of what opposition there was
became evident rs soon as it could no
Ion ger use the great popularity of and en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Blame in order to make lt
aDDear to amount TO something. That op-
position is much less to-day than 1t was two
months ago. 1t was OK pected to concen-
trate somewhere else If Mr.. Blaine declined
TO be a candidate. but Mr.. Blaine is irrev-
ocably out. and there has been no drift in
any direction save toward President Har-
Tison. He grows stronger every day. and
the conviction is general. and it Is justl-
fed, that he will DO the Republican nomi-

The Return.
A brown wing beat the apple leaves and shook
One blossom on her hair. Then seemed to float
Deliberate bubbles. In her shaded book
she found romantic interest. No look
Betrayed the tumult in her trembling throat.
The bird sang on. A dreamy wind came down
From one white cloud OF afternoon and famed
The leaking petals on her book and gown,
And touched her hair. She curved a quiet frown,
And smoothed it with a singlejeweled hand.
The ribbon of her hair dipped on her brow
And then she knew be watched her: Twas kt,
breath
That moved the blossom on the apple bough;
His eyes that made the wood thrush cease. And
now
Her cheek went crimson. now as white as death.
Then on the dappled page his shadow; yes,
Not unexpected. yet her haste assumed
Fright's s~tartlc; and rich laughter did confess
His presence there, like some long-lost caress
or noble manhood, where the thick trees
bloomed.
Quickly she rose, and all her gladness sent
Sweet welcome 10 him. Her his unburt arm
Drew unresisted; and the soldier lent
Fond lips TO hers. She wept. And so they went

Sailing before the silver shafts Of morn,
He bore the White Christ over alien SOFAS
The swart Columbu Into Glands ~forlorn,'
That lay beyond the dim Hesperides;-
Humbly he gathered up the broken chain
OF human knowledge, and. with sails unfurled,
He drew 1t westward from the coast of Spain,
And linked 10 hrmly to another world.
Tho binding tempcsts drove his ships astray.
And on the decks conspirtng spanlards grew
More mutinous and dangerous, day by day.
Than did the deadly winds that round him
blew
Yet the bluff Captain. with his bearded lip.
His lordly purpose, and his high Gsdain,
Stood like a master with upiifted whip,
And urged his mad sea-horses DER the main.
Onward and onward thro' the blue profound,
Into the West a thousand leagues or more,
His carvels cut the pillows till they ground
Upon the shadows OF San Salvador;
Then robed in scarlet like a rising morn
He climbed ashore, and on the shining sod
He gave 10 Man q continent new born,
Then. kneeling, gave his gratitude to G cd.
And his rewardl In all tho books of fate

To try the waves OF other unknown seas.

And lay aside the worldly guise
Which we as mortals have to wear,
And let me look into your eyes,
While softly falls upon my ear
Your voice with oil its melodies.
Why, love, We two
Have naught to do
With this sad worlds ipcessant strife;
We've learned its lessons through and through,
We know oil that there is in life;
What Is there left for me- or you
Who have been woman, mother. wifel
Why. dear. We know
How sorrows grow
Thicker than joys along the way;
How many men heartbrokeu go
About their duty every day;
How many smiling women. too,
Bear hearts too sad to weep or pray.
But sit down here
Beside me, dear.
And lay aside the worldly guise
Which we, as mortals. have to wear.
For heaven shines within your eyes,
And in your gentle voice I hear
A note Of heavens melodies.

The Way Opium is Gathered.

When the land has been prepared, the
seed sown broadcast, aud covered by
the use of drag, the field is laid off
into small beds about ten feet in width,
irrigated by little water channels. The
plants are carefully tended, and when in
bloom the petals CLEAN like silver.
These are not allowed to fall off, but ARE
picked one by one and dried by tho
women and children of the cultivator's
families aud then used as Il covering fol
the manufactured cakes OF opium. The
bare heads or capsules are left standing
until ripe enough for lancing. This is
done vita an implement somewhat like
the knives of cupping instrument, and
it is said that much skill is required in
making the incIsion just the right depth,
for if made through the walls of the
capsule the juice will flow into the cavity
and be lost. The cut is made transversely
and may extend two-thirds around the
capsule, or tic be made s2irally, ending
beyond the Starting point.
This scarifying is done towards even
ing, and the next morning early the cul-
tivators appear with their long lnives
and scrape off the exuding juice int1
vessels held in the hand. Now this is
opium in the crude state, and waen
enough Of the juice, half dried, has been
collected to form clke it is wrapped in
leaves and put in the shade to dry. In
this condition it is purchased by buyers

A Barometric Stone.

One of the most curious stones in the
world is found in Finland, where it &C.
ours in many places. 1t is q natural
barometer, and actually fortells probable
changes in the weather. 1t is called
semakuir, and turns black shortly before
m approaching rain, while in fine
weather it is notified with spots Of
white, says the st. Louis Globe-Deno-
srat. For long time this curions phe-
nomenon was mystery, but an analysis
of the stone shows iS &c be . fossil mixed
with clay and containing a portion of
rock salt aud nitro. These facts being
known the explanation was easy. The
Falt absorbing the moisture, turned
black when the conditions were favor
able for rain, while the dryness of the
atmosphere brought the salt from the in
terror of the stone in white spots on tho
surface.

"There is one very peculiar thing
about the laws of the Isle of Man."
says writer in the Louisville Courier
Journal. at is the only country in
the world, so far as l know, except
Iceland, which clings to the ancient
customs of hundreds of years ago, of
promulgating them from the top of
the Thingwald hill, mountain in
the very center of the island. They
must be read to the whole people
from the Thingwald mountain, on
the 9Th day of July, before they are
binding. OF course, there are some
special occasions, but the 9Th day Of
July is the lawful day, and on this
occasion, each year, $4,000 or 10000
people assemble to hear the news
read. This is something that is not
generally known, l think, and is pc
culiar to the Isle of Man. The laws
must be read in both the Manx and
the English languages.

HOG CHOLERA SYMPTOMS.

Symptoms of hog cholera are described
by the Iowa State Board of Health rs
follows: The presence of the disease is
indicated by a cold shivering, lasting
from few seconds to several hours;
frequent sneezing, followed by loss of
appetite; rough appearance of the hair,
dropping of the ears, stupidness, at.
tempts to vomit, tendency to root the
bedding, to lie down in dark and quiet
places, dullness of the eyes, often dim;
sometimes swelling of the head, erup.
tions of the ears and other parts of the
body, dizziness, laborous breathing,
vitiated appetite for dung, dirty and
salty substances, accumulation of mucus
in inner corner of the eye, discharge
from the nose, fetid and offensive odor
of the discharges from the bowels, of
feuslve exhalations; diarrhell dis
charges are semi.huid, of grayish green
color and often mixed with blood. In
many cases the skin on the belly be-
tween the hind legs, behind the ears and
even on the nose has numerous red spots
which toward the fatal termination turn
purple. As the disease progresses the
animal becomes sluggish, the head
droops with the nose near the ground,
but usually will be found lying down
with the nose hid in the bedding. II
there has been costiVeuess, about two
days before death there will be offensive.

~It Is popular belief that the dog
Is the most intelligent of all four /,
footed animals, and that next in the
mental scale is the horse, said George
Mcdonald to st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat man at the Lindell. THAT is
a mistake. The COW knows more than
horse and dog combined are capable
of learning. An ordinary town COW
who has been accorded reasonable ia
cilities for acquiring general informa-
tion is much wiser than some men
who have been honored with proud
positions and expensive funerals. The
average town COW can open gate
that fastens with time lock, get into
the garden, and do $50 worth Of dam
age before the exasperated owner can
ram charge Of slugs into a muzzle-
loading gun. Ionce lived In village
where one-half of the inhabitants
kept cows and expected them to for
age their living off the other half.

no avail added a bolt and slept that
night secure. The next morning ev-

old brindle she-pirate came up and

and again surveyed the house. Next
she went to work on the bolt with
her tongue. In five minutes she had
it drawn and started to come In. She
looked surprised TO find herself still
on the outside. Half dozen Of her
companions came up and surveyed
the new jewelry. Then brindle broke

hinges. They appeared to hold a
council of war; then an old spotted

whole drove marched inside. gave

The rules of the Society of Friends
have been recently relaxed in order
to allow of what are called mixed
marriages being solemnized at their
meeting houses. The regularity of
the marriage ceremony Is that no
minister or officer interferes. The
marriage vow is repeated by the bride
and bridegroom standing up, after a
short interval of silence, in front of
the congregation. A ring is gcncr-
ally put on after the actual ceremony
is Finished In Difference to ancient
custom, which the rules of the society
have not been strong enough to break
through. A certificate recording the
actual words used by tile newly mar
ried couple, and giving description
of their parentage, is then signed,
first In presence of the meeting by
the bride and bridegroom, and then
by a number Of their friends, and Is
afterwards read aloud 10 the meeting.
