AN OLD SEvENTY-FOUR.

l am nothing now but shattered old hulk
With not even a sail or mast,
Laid up in the dock to rot and to sulk
And to brag of the days that are past.
There is only one gun, an old cracked one,
That is left me here on my deck,
From which hot shot in the days that are
1 fired from this shattered old wreck.
Despoiled and bereft, and with nothing left
l am kept here. who knows why,
Save t., tell the old tales till my memory
OF the glorious days gone by
OF the battles ! fought, OF, the din of war,
OF the times of peace, of the voyages far
Into many sea and CLINE
That | made in the good old weli-rgged
time
When life was without a care
And l in my strength and prime.
Now, far away to the tropic isles,
Where the love-birds of Paradise fash
through the air.
And the years long summer sleeps lingering
there.
And the deep blue heaven smiles
Now to the North where the icebergs high
Topple all flashing against the sky.
Or into the seas at their bases flashing,
Splitting. fall with a sudden crashing
And the white gulls startled fly.
You may laugh if you choose, and scorn
Those good old sailing days
You may boast of your steam and your
wheels and your screws,
And all your neW-fangied ways:
But for beauty and grace you must take
second place
However your use you praise.
All, yes! for a drawer and gallanter sight
On the ocean YOU never will tird
Than an old three-maSter. its canvas white,
All rounded out to the wind;
Not hammering, painting along the sea
With a ceaseless splashing and noise,
But almost flying, bending. careening,
Now up erect. now sideways leaning,
With an ever-Shifting poiSe.
Ali that was sailing All. that was living
How we went in those days. how we
went.
The winds from heaven their impulse Civ
ing.
And we joying in what they sent,
How we played with the storm and laughed
with the tempest,
AS under their pressure we bent.
The wild seas leaping, and rushing, and
sweeping
Over our decks and sides:
Our sharp prov lifting high up, and cleav-
ing
The dark-blue pillows before it heaving.
As over them bravely it rides:
Or downward STOPPING and into them
Swooping
AS greenly they yawned beneath
Into their deep black caverns scooping
With a foam-bone in its teeth
While above. at the masthead flying free
And playing with the wind
Streamed the good old flag, and after us
sweeping
Came the following gulls, their orbed
wings dipping
In the foam-fringed edge of the pillows up
leaping
In the rustling wake behind.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
1t Will Cure the Blues a Well "A S sooth,
the Savage Breast.


When you are very tired and utterly
respondent, when you want to cry your
heart out and the tears will not come,
do not 90 home and lie fiat on your back
or take exercise or tea or indulge in
cheerful conversation with the hope of
getting rested and happy. Sometimes
these remedies work, but quite often they
don't. Try instead the never-failing
cure that was yours in the good old days
when tired of play and half afraid of the
coming dark you crept into your mothers
arms and heard her sing a lullaby.
Probably you cannot creep into her
arms now. You are rather too big, and
she is miles away, and that is one reaS
why you are sad. But you can Shear
music, and the cares that infest the day
will fold their tents and depart even
as LOngfellow says. Music will soothe
you as nothing else will. Go to some
friend who plays or sings, and make her
play or sing to you
Have the lights turned low or put out.
Lie down on the diyan with your head
among the pillows and listen. Do not
let your musician play you stirring strains.
Make her avoid classical selections
Make her play all the simple, old ballads
that you like Make here play old-fash-
Toned hymns. BY and by tears will be
trickling down your cheeks. which you
will mop silently with your handkerchief
A big lump will come into your throat as
the music means. Gould you come back
to me, Douglass" The fact that you new
er had a Douglass or anyone else to call
back will not lessen your grief. You will
feel your heart breaking over annie
Laurie" you will sob over THE Queens
Maries.' There will be perfect rain of
tears when the music drifts into the sweet
Sunday strains. You will be dimIy con-
scious that crying spoils your complexion,
but you may solace yourself even then
by the thought that tears will not prove
so destructive of beauty as the drawn,
strained look of one who cannot cry.
When it is all over and you have cried
silently until you can cry no more, you
will be surprised to find how cheerful you
are growing. You will soon want some
thing to eat-tears are great appetizers-
and then you will go to bed and sleep
cheerful, healthy sleep. In the morning
the tiredness will be gone.-New York

AT LOW WATER MARK,
Steamers Cannot Make Their Trip on
the Upper mississippi.

The Mississippi has reached the low
water mark of 1864. Old rivermen say
that the mark has never before been
reached since the government established
it. But Maj. Meigs of Keokuk declares
that in 1892 the water at Mechanics
rock, above the Des Moines rapids, was
two inches lower than now. At any rate,
the water in the Upper Mississippi is now
so low that the Diamond Joe line of
steamers has been compelled to stop bust
ness for the season. The river is full of
sandbars. Never before has the water
fallen SO rapidly or the channel changed
so often or so treacherously, and several
drownings are due to this fact. At Bur-
lington the Mississippi is a mere thread
in fact, no wider than the channel

Horrible Story of cannibalism.

DUNDEE, Oct. 25.-At the beginning of
August the whalers Aurora Balaena and
Esquimaux were in Prince Regent inlet
searching for white whales. They
steamed in Elvin bay, and party from
the Balaena went on shore. They had
not gone far when they came upon a
CHASTITY ring of corpses, the remains of
Esquimaux who had evidently died of
starvation. Clean-picked bones and
partly devoured bodies revealed story
of cannibalism. One corpse had been
beheaded, and the head was found 80
yards away from the trunk at place
where some one had evidently made a
meal upon the flesh and brains. It is
supposed the party while travelling found
their progress choked by the setting in
of winter. One by one they had sue
cumbed to hunger, and finally the
stronger in the futile efforts to save their
own lives were driven to eat the others.

The Car Improperly treated.

LONDON, Oct. PA st. Petersburg
dispatch this morning says there is a
general feeling of indignation against
Professor Zarscharin, whose mistaken
diagnosis in the first place, it is claimed,
was rendered more Injurious to the
patient by the professors negligence
and lack OF medical skill. Professor
Zarscharin will be severely blamed ac-
cording to these advices, by Professor
Leyden, and it is asserted that should
the czar die it will be because proper
treatment was not undertaken in time.
The dispatches add that since the crisis,
the czarina has been subject to continual
trembling and syncope. Yesterday the
condition of czar varied between drowsi-
ness and comparative cheerfulness.
During one of the latter periods the czar
said he had been left alone with the
czarevitch an hour, and had directed
the leaving of message of farewell to
Russia, which will be issued upon his
death

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops

Harrison to Speak in New York Next
Week--AIcKInIey There Now Con-
gressman wilson's Tour.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 25.-There
were two political riots in this city last
night, and feeling has not run so high
since the days of the great Garfeld-Por-
ter campaign in Indiana. Milton Tur-
ner, a colored orator who has gained
notoriety in recent years in the Western
states with his democratic speeches,
was brought here to address the colored
people OF Indianapolis at the Yellow
bridge over the canal. This is colored
republican locality, and in 1890 couple
of democratic orators were mobbed and
nearly killed there. Turner was greeted
with an immense crowd of colored citi-
zens. He began with TRADE against
ex-President Harrison, when the dis
pleasure of the audience burst forth and
a rush was made for the stand. Turner
was dragged down and pounded in spite
of squad of police present. Heads were
clubbed, but the mob could not be
driven off the man. Finally he was
dragged out under guard of the police.
In spite of this the enemies of Turner
chased him six blocks and came near
killing him. The other riot occurred at
Agnes and Morris streets, on the south
side, where Allen Jennings, a populist,
invaded democratic community. Jen-
nings heaped all the contumely he could
think of on Congressman Bynum, when
on signal shower of stones was
rained on him. He escaped from the
fury of his pursuers with little damage,
save to his clothing. A number of
heads were cracked by stones, and one
little girl near the speakers stand was
badly cut over the eye.
