A PEN PHOTOGRAPH.
BY EMILE CLARE.

wsll, be 1t SO; for once, indeed, to see as I
am seen,
To laugh and Jest, to frown or sigh, and
gossip, too, ween.
The picture does not flatter much, my tresses
turning gray,
The circling years have registered just
three score years to-day.
Ny faithful glasses ever near assist my
faded eye
10 trace the lines where dlmples shone IN
happy days gone by.
] may not sigh for cheek Of Hrse, for still my
face is fair,
And Time has left my teeth Of pearl and
cheeks ruby pair
The silent thief has left me, too, thankful
For worldly blessing, as I go down nfe's
dusty way.
sometimes think my weight goes on, and
yet I am contented,
And quite ignore the anti-fat some genius
has invented;
Nor envy in my inmost soul the skeleton or
shad
That Worth or Butteric resurrect with cum
" ming puff and pad.
It does not seem I'm growing old, though
little children three
Are very fond Of grapdmama, and cling
about my knee,
Just as used to cling to one some fifty
years ago
The sweetest face ever saw, framed in a
cap OF snow.
Il seems, indeed, but yesterday she called
me to her side
And whispered, BLESSINGS on you, Trot,"
the very night she died.
'~You look as old as l." she said; "your hair
like mine is white;
Now kiss me, darling, once again, and then
we'll say goodnight"
A last good might, and shall hear her gen-
tie voice no more,
I'll called from earth with all its care to
see the other shore;
Though well I know her kindly eyes look
on my lowly lot,
And all those happy sinless days can never
be forgot.
There's something else I'd love to learn-in
. heaven twill be explained
The mystery that draped her life, her ten
der bosom panied,
The lonely years OF widowhood, the tragic
tale OF woe
That robbed her Of her Joy and pride
- hundred years ago.
Dor none grow old and feeble there, but
youth and joys return,
And all the friends we've loved below for
.. whom our bosoms yearn;
AS nothing sweet or dear In life can ever be
o.. forgot,
Then Grandma Goode will be rejoiced to
meet with Grandma Trot.

THE sHEREEFA OF wAzAN.

the position of woman remains un-
speakably deplorable. Morocco is 80
deeply sunk in the degradation of sin
that it is impossible to lay bare its
deplorable condition.
In this country the only vice which
public opinion seriously condemns is
drunkenness, and it is only before
foreigners that any sense of shame or
desire for secrecy about other vices is
observable. The taste for strong
drink, though still INDUCED compare
lively in secret, is steadily increasing,
the practice spreading from force of
example among the Moors themselves,
and as result of the strenuous efforts
of foreigners to inculcate this vice.
As yet it is chiefly among the higher
and lower classes that the victims are
found, the former indnlging in the
pri'ilcy of their own homes and the
latter at the low drinking dens opened
by the scum OF the foreign settlers al
all the open ports
One woman has, however, risen to
a commanding rank in Morocco and
still exercises sway rivalinS that of
the Emperor himself. This is the
Shereefa OF Wazan, IN English woman
by birth. The shereefs of Wazan have
ever been ct least the equals, perhaps
the superiors. of the sultans OF Fez,
to whom they are nominally subject.
Wazan is the holy city OF Morocco,
and one of the holiest in all the Mo-
hammedan world, and its shereefs are
descended directly from Fatima, the
Prophets fayorite daughter, while the
Emperor himself is descended merely
from some collateral branch of Mo.

hammed's family. So the shereef is
reckoned the hottest man in oil
Islam and his spiritual authority ia
recognized by the faithful everywhere,
in Egypt, Turke Persia, India. The
latest generations of these potentates
have been invested with not little
romance. 1t is told that the grand,
father of the present shereef lived to
be more than 100 years old. At the
last, when he lay dying, the elders
asked him to name his successor fo1
there is no law of primogeniture in
Wazan. The old man answered in the
oracular manner in which his inspired
,utterances had always been made.

he shall sway the sceptre. Now it
happened that one Of his slaves, an Afri.
can woman, was standing just outside

FAVE YOU A BOY TO SPARE?

The saloon must have boys. or It must shut
up shop. Can't you furnish 1t one2 1t is

million boys from each generation for raw

the door and heard this. She, hearing
the old Shereef's words, instantly
seized, unnoticed, his gold-headed
staff and placed it in her bright little
sons hands, and when, few moments
later, the aged Shereef died, the Tai
bian elders came out to search for his
heir. And the first they saw was the
little mulatto playing with the staff
Wherefore they obeyed the saints
command and bowed down before him
as the new Shereef.
The Shereef.grew up with rather adj
vanced notions. He took to travelling
in foreign parts and then paid long
visits to England, France and Italy.

But while the hull of the Destroyer
is remarkable enough, it is her gun:
she carries only one-which is her
chief feature. The enemy is likely to
conclude. this one gun is more than
sufficient. The one now, aboard the
Destroyer is not the same which Erics.
son originally put in her. It has been
greatly improved Ericsson's was Of
iron; this is of steel. The system,
however, is the same. The improve
ments were made by Walden F. Lassoe
naval engineer with the Ericsson
Coast Defense Company. His improve
ments are,so many that the title OF
Lassoe gun, which it now bears, is
fully justified. The gun can take q
charge of 800 pounds of gun cotton.
There is no known means of pro.
lection against the Lassoe gun. 1t
can blow up anything. Hitherto it
was thought that the torpedo net
would prevent torpedo from striking
vessel, but the tests at Newport have
proven that the torpedo net, as now
constructed, is useless. The Lassoe
projectile pierces torpedo net as il
it we're made Of tissue paper.
The gun is thirty-three feet long.
The projectile, which has steel point
and a copper chamber for the explosive
charge, is twenty seven feet long, six.
teen inches in diameter and weighs
1926 pounds. The explosive charge is
800 powder, dynamite or gun cotton.
The gun is mounted on the bottom OF
the forward part of the vessel, next to
the keel. Its muzzle terminates in
the stern, seven feet below the water
line. The water is prevented from
rushing into the gun by valve which
opens and closes automatically.

FHE throne of the

S2rI QN boasted Sidi Mo-
hammed, the father
of Muley Hassan, the present Sultan.
The Sultan, indeed, is nominal lord
of all, but nominal, not actual, says a
writer in the New York Tribune. He
sets Governors over the provinces and
wrings from them such taxes as be
will and there the functions of his ad-
ministration end. So long as they pay
lip-service to the Governor and render
the tribute of gold that is required OF
them the tribesmen may do as they
please.
These Riffans, or Riffs, who have
been making trouble at MelillG, form
such tribe; and they are perhaps OF
all the most independent, as well as
decidedly the most savage. Their
home is in Ell Rif, the range OF hills
that runs parallel with and near to the
Mediterranean coast, from the Muluya
River to Cape Spartel. They are the
Ishmaelites of that 1shmaeliSish land,
their hands against every man and
every mans hand against them. Woe
to the stray traveller who falls into
their hands. He would fare better IN
a camp of hostile Comanches, or as the
Apaches' prisoner of war. Every stud
led horror of torture will be his; every
revolving outrage that savage passions
can conceive. Even the other Berber
and Moorish tribes have dread and a
loathing of them and use the name OF
Rifan instead of "wolf" to frighten
children into obedience. In appear
ance the Riffan men are fierce and un-
couth, with tattooed faces often, and
long, unkempt hair and beard: Their,
strength and endurance are marvellous.
They are fine horsemen and good
good shots, and in battle display the

TO CONTINUE THE WORK.
The Stockholders Of the Atlantic
Short Line Authorize the Directors
to Borrow Money.

The Stockholders Of the Atlantic
Short Line Authorize the Directors
to Borrow Money.
President John r, Youngof the Atlantic
Short Line returned yesterday from Ma
con, where he had been to attend a meet
ing Of the stockholders of that road
The meeting was called for a special
purpose, which was accomplished, as an
nounced in the MORNING News yesterday
Over 20 per cent. of the holdings, which
amount altogether to 81, $780, 900, was rep
resented at the meeting, and largely by
the personal presence of the holders. The
directors were authorized to borrow such
funds as they saw fit to carry on the work,
1t being understood that no bonds were to
be issued, but that the money was
to be obtained from friends of the enter
prise. These are numerous, and it will no
doubt be an easy matter to get sufficient
funds to go on with the work at an early
date.
There are few formalities to be looked
after in the courts yet before the work
can go on, but these are expected to be
arranged shortly. The directors will see
that the work will be begun as early as
possible, though it is their intention to
pursue a conservative course and not
attempt to do the work too hurriedly.
The present status of the road has already
been given in the MORNING News. 1t is
a route the completion of which will
bring a large amount of trade directly
into Savannah
