A little poem called "The Kings
Roses" in a recent paper begins with
these lines which make one sigh for
summer:
In the palace garden the roses blow
Like flames of fire and drifts of snow.
And the path is walled with their brilliant

And the air is freighted with rich perfume.
And the brow of the king from it's care
worn frown
Is cleared as he walks the rose-path down.

POPULAR LONDON SONGS
BY NOTED TILLY, CHEVLIER, LIND
AND OTHERS.
Airs That are Heard in the Parlor,
on the Stage, and Whistled by the
Typical Boot Black on the Streets.

From the Herald'S European Edition.
Down in the country p'r'aps you hardly
know
At what pace these street songs come
and 60
This is what Punch said last
week in some clever verses to a
country friend whom he heard
whistling. "The Man Who Broke
the Bank at Monte Carlo" Mr..
Punch concludes his verses with
this piece of advice
But do not whistle, if you wish to rank
As in the know, The man who broke the
bank"
Punch, who knows everything,
is certainly right about this, and if
one wishes to describe a popular
song one must do it Fright away"
to use an expression which is here
called an "Americanism," but
which gives as good an idea of
haste, it seems to me, as "lOOk
sharpw So am going to tell you
about the songs that are whistled,
sung, ground on hand organs
and played by street bands,
introduced on the stage and in
the drawing room, and l am going
to tell you fright away" for if 1
wait l shall fall under Mr.. Punch's
category of not being in the know,
as the songs will have had their
day and have been relegated to the
shelf or to the cheap comic song
albums.
The principal advertiser Of the
last new air and promoter Of it's
success is the Lonnon street boy.
1t cannot be said of this ubiquitous
compound ofabnormal Intelligence
and gross ignorance, of courage,
slyness, humor and happiness, that
he is up to date. So that when
you hear him singing "Dysy, Dy-
sy" or "After the Ball is over" you
may feel quite sure that you are
listening to the latest thing in mu-
sic hall ditties, for this youngster
would disdain to sing or whistle a
song over three months old. con-
fess to taking rather an interest in
the amusements Of that part Of the
community called "the lower Or
ders." "Cela dome a ref1echir."
l often cannot help comparing
their relaXations with those of the
upper circles. And sometimes |
cannot help realizing how akin
they are. Human nature is, after
all, very much alike, whether you
are a peer or coster. And Gar
riet,"- who waltzes to the airs of a
barrel organ at the street corner,
is only showing the same taste as
Lady Clara We're de We're when she
displays her ankles in a skirt
dance in Mayfair drawing room
after dinner. And does it not show
a taste in common when AIRY, the
costermonger, takes and equal de-
light in the culture Mrs. 'Awkins"
to that of young Lord Dunderhead,
who gives the last named ditty
with the greatest success to an
audience of his own set at a Savoy
supper?
MUST BE SENSATIONAL.
An English comic or popular
song must have many attributes.
To be widely sung it must not be
too vulgar, and any amount Of sem
timent will be stood. The lower
orders are sentimental, and applaud
the 'homely virtues to the echo. In
facts, it is the highest in the social
scale who wink at marital infideli-
ty, neglect of home duties, &c, and
it would not do to attempt to pre-
sent anything but the most moral
sentiments to a music hall audi
once. The song, CATER the Ball."

Tolstoi pIsIIkes Poetry.

In conversation with a young Russian
poet recently Count Leo To, Itoi ex-
pressed himself as follows: Il entertain
a general dislike To all poetry, and for
this reason-that it prevents one from
giving a clear, intelligent and compre-
hensive expression to ones thoughts and
ideas. Why should we laboriously strain
TO conform our expression to the rhyth-
lnicaI ard metrical rules of versifica-
ton when we can the better and more
clearly convey our thoughts III simple
and lucid prose? II is as if, instead of
permitting me the free use of my limbs,
you tether my legs and make me hobble
around the object of observation. In
order TO he succinct, concise and COM
prehensively expressive. l Railways strive
so to construct my language that every
reader. even he of the scantiest intelli-
gence, can, without the slightest trouble
or reflection, at once grasp my meaning.
If I wrote in verse, my primary and dis
tracing labor would be to conform to
the laws and rules of versification, and
my readers would be left to sift out for
themselves the thoughts and ideas I
wished to convey"

MANcHEsTER,s SHIP CANAL.
The Dream of Many Years Is Realized a

The Dream of Many Years Is Realized at
Last.
Within q short time the great ship ca
nal from Manchester to the sea will be
opened for traffic, and the hopes of more
than a generation of cotton operators
will begin to be realized. For many
years these men have dreamed of time
when the vessels bearing their cotton
from abroad could sail proudly up to
their own wharves and deliver cargoes
without paying toll at Liverpool. Nor
was the matter purely one of sentiment,
for the cost of the 30-mile shipment of
merchandise from Liverpool to Manches-
ter by rail was as great as that of n So,
000-nile ocean voyage.
Though the canal project was vigor-
ously agitated for quarter of century,
the opposition of interested railroads and
the city of Liverpool was so strong and
successful that it was not till 1887 that
parliament could be induced TO pass an
act authorizing its construction. Work
was begun the same year and has since
been constantly pushed, often with a
force of Il, 600 men, yet the time limit at
first set for its completion was exceeded
by two years, and the cost, which was
estimated not to exceed S33, 900. 900, has
aggregated fully $50, 000, 600.

Rear-AdmiraI Harmony.

More than a few naval officers
and great many people who are
not particularly interested in naval
affairs are engaged in criticising
the navy departments action in
summarily retiring Rear-Admiral
Harmony, says the Washington
Star. The records show that Adj
miral Harmony had applied for re-
tirement under the law which
grants that privilege to those Off
GERS who have served not less than
forty years. He was then COM
handing on the China station, and
when he recently returned to San
Francisco reported to the depart
ment by wire. Immediately there
after he was notified by telegraph
that his request for retirement had
been acceded to. There was great
discourtesy in the haste shown and
great injustice in severing the adj
miraPs connection with the active
list while he was three thousand
miles from his home. He deserved
every consideration, but got none,
for the over-speedy acceptance
made him pay his travelling ex-
penses to this city. An ordinary
seaman would have been permitted
to return to his home before being
retired why should less courtesy
be shown an officer Of rank who has
served the country with honor for
nearly half a century? Who was
in a hurry to be promoted?

REVOLUTIONS IN ARGEN-
TINE.

In three states or provinces of
the Argentine Republic-Buenos
Ayres, San Luis and Santa Fe-
revolutions are in progress against
the provisional government of the
states, and are seeming ly progress
ing very favorably for the insur-
gents. The government of the
republic is not threatened by the
revolutionists, but President Saenz
Pena is anxious about the outcome,
fearing that prolongation of the
contest may lead to a general up
rising which may menace the
federal power. A cabinet meeting
has been held, at which it was de-
cided to ask congress to sanction
federal intervention in the dis
turbed provinces.
Manifestly the Argentine Repub-
lie differs materially from our own.
If in any state Of the Ameri-
can union there should be a
revolt against the state government
there would be no necessity for the
federal authorities to appeal to con-
gress for leave to intervene on be-
half of the administration of the
State. The governor Of the State,
finding himself unable to sup
press the revolution by means
of the State militia, would
appeal to the president of
the United States, and that official,
under the fourth article of the
constitution, would be bound to
use all means within his power
to protect the State against DOM
este violence, which, of course,
would include the suppression of a
revolution.
1t is hard to conceive of a feder-
ated republic without such a power
lodged in the central government.
Clearly there can be no unity, no
nationality, no political entity un-
less the federal power be not only
authorized but directed to protect
each member of the federation
against domestic violence. If the
people of the provinces of Buenos
Ayres, San Luis, Santa Fe are dis
satisfied with their government or
with the incumbents of the several
State offices, why do they not do
as we do here-wait for an
election and replace them with
others ? This method of pro-
cedure never seems to occur to the
South American. His one way of
changing an administration is to
get up a revolution and drive out
the officials by force, which GER
tainly does not comport with the
North American idea of popular
governments. F. Chronicle.

THrLAST LOCK.

From an engineering standpoint the
work IS a marvel. Its average breadth
and depth are greater than those of the
Suez canal, though the length is not so
great, being but little over 30 miles.
The locks are built in groups of three,
of different dimensions, so that vessels
OF all sizes may pass without unneces-
sary waste OF water. At Eastman,
where the canal enters the Mersey and
may be said to end, the largest Of the
locks is Coo feet by so. the next $50 feet
by 80, and the smallest 80 feet by 30.
Between the locks are concrete piers
so feet wide, and each lock has in add
ton to the ordinary gates storm gate
formidable enough to withstand the force
of the greatest waves. These gates are
made OF greenheart, species of laurel
from Guiana which never decays, but
has the disadvantage OF being SO poison
Gus that a splinter will produce a pain
full and dangerous wound.
