The Chambered Nautilus,

Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Ihis IS the ship of pearl which poets feign
Sails the unshadoWed main;
The Venturous bark that filings
wings
In CULTS enchanted, where the siren sings
And coral reefs lie bare;
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun
their streaming hair.
Its web of gauze no more unfurI;
Wrecked IS the ship of pearl,
And every chambered cell d .f...,.
Where its dreaming life was wont to dwell
shell
Before thee lies revealed,
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt
unsealed.
Year after year beheld the silent toll
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
he left the last years dwelling for the
new,
Stole. with soft step its shining archway
Built up its idle door
Stretched in its last found home and knew
the old no more.
Thanks for the,heavenly message brought
by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
from thy dead lips clearer note is born
Ihan ever Triton blew from wreathed
While on my ear it rings,
Through the deep caves OF thought hear
a voice that sings:
Build thee more stately mansions, o my
soul, '
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nober than the last
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more
vast,
Till thou at length art free.
Leaving thine Outgrown shell by life's I'M
resting sea.

A Hunters Peril.

A Los Angeles hunter, VT Bush, had
an exciting experience in the mountains
OF Orange county last Friday, says the
Los Angeles Herald. He left a party in
camp early that morning and started out
IN the hope OF bagging a deer before
breakfast. He followed a long deep
chasm, called Sycamore Canon and after
walking for mile without getting sight
OF game and having become nearly tagged
out IN crawling under and over the heavy
nanzanlta and mesquite bushes, he sat
DOWN TO rest. The gray morning dawn
Was Jusl giving way to daybreak. and il
was not easy TO distinguish objects at
great distance. As Bush sat thinking in
inns lonely spot, with high rock walls
rising abruptly on either side Of him he
Ihought he heard the cracking of bushes
Iar up the canon's side. In another in
Stant a most unearthly yell broke the 81
fence and filled Bush with a sense of hor-
TOT. he turned around in time to see
huge mountain lion spring from an i'm
menSe rock and leap toward him.
II had grown brighter as the morning
sunlight cast shadows on the canon's wall
ana things could be more easily dstin-
gulshed. Bush looked at his rife, then at
me non as II seemed to increase its speed
toward him. He had not yet raised him
SER up but when the animal turned into
me httle trail on which he was sitting,
BUSH suddenly leaped from his hypnotized
position and awaited the animals com
ing He had no more than cooked mis-
riHe when the huge beast sprang from
GLump or bushes directly in front of him.
Inc frightened hunter threw his rife to
MS shoulder. The lion, seeing the move.
ouuuSLiy matted, as II II mad come upon
the gentleman unawares.
1t IS a well known fact that any wild
beast VIII become frightened if ii sees the
lace or a man turned toward il in a de-
nant manner, unless the animal is wound
ed. That is one great secret of bear
hunting, and the same is true of all
beasts. The lion Bush held at bay was
no exception to the rule for it took in the
situation at once and leaped down the
Canon's side. Then it was that Bush knew
the animal had run across him accidental
~ ana was not bent on making a break
fast of him.
But the worst was yet to come As the
immense lion darted into the manzanita
thlcket Bush fired and wounded it, He
saw the animal fall and carelessly started
IN TO claim his game. Jumping into the
brush ne found the beast upon its haunch-
IS ready TO fight. 1t was then too late for
BuSh to back out, and for a moment he
STOOD lace to face with the enraged lion
Before he could raise his rifle or remove
his hunting knife from its scabbsrd the
beast was upon him. Then began a strug-
gle Tor life. The lion fastened it's teeth
IN Bush clothing in an attempt to reach
ms throat. The last thing Bush remem-
Dered OF the fight was that he drew his
knife and made a lunge for the animals
heart.
When he recovered consciousness short
~ before noon he found himself side by
SIDE with the dead lion, the knife still
SUCKING IN its side. He has the pelt of
the DIG animal on exhibition.

Hill Takes a Strong Position.

Senator Hill in his speech at Syracuse,
opening the campaign. put the boiling
democrats of New York city, Brooklyn
and elsewhere in the position Of attacking
the regular democracy and not him per-
sonally. He pointed out very conclus-
lively that he had not sought the nomina-
ton for the governorship, and accepted
it only when he could not avoid it without
injury to the party's cause. The nomina-
ton had no attractions for him. and he
would have gladly stepped aside If an
other and more satisfactory man could
have been found to take the place.
The senator pitched his campaign upon
a high plane; which fact must have sur
prised those who thought the man in
capable of rising above selfshness for
himself and partisanship for his faction.
He made an advance of friendship to-
ward the element of the party with which
he has ben at outs for some time, and
concluded with a statement implying that
he didn't care whether or not he was
elected governor, if the voters would see
to it that the gentlemen on the ticket
at the people supporting the Everett p.
Wheeler ticket Their objection is to
Senator Hin, and he told them they need
not vote for him if they did not care to
just to vote for the other men and meas
ures on the regular democratic ticket and
he would be satisfied.
1t is gratifying to observe, by the way
that the opposition to the regular de-
mocracy is losing strength. Ex-Secre-
tary Whitney, ex-Mayor Grace and other
leaders who have been counted in the
anti-Hill column have come out strongly
for the regular ticket headed by the SEN
atOr. Realizing that the loss of New
York might mean the loss of the House
in congress to the democratic party, and
possibly the presidency in 1896, these lead
ers have laid aside personal objections
and win work for the success of the regu-
lar organization. ~

Increased Gold Production.

Several weeks ago Director Of the Mint
Preston estimated that the output Of
gold for the world for 1898 was S155. 522, 900,
and that for 1854 it would be s174OOO,OOO.
Upon this basis. and in consideration of
the fact that the production of silver
is declining from the abnormal proper
tons 10 which it grew under an aritfi-
cial stimulus, the Morning News ad-
vanced the proposition that if these con-
ditlons of increased production of gold
and decreased production of silver should
continue for a time, the time might not
be distant when the mtnts could be opened
to silver without forcing the county
to a silver basis.
The director of the mint has, since he
made the estimate referred to. received
official advices from Russia which adj
vance the total output of gold in 1893
to $157. O22.0OO and cause him to change
the estimate for 1894 from $4,000, 600 TO
$50, 900 or Whereabouts.
In the directors forthcoming report the
gold production for the United States for
1894 is estimated at $4,000 Oo which is a
gain of 100000 over 1898 and is likely to
be supplemented by a gain of S12O00.0DO
from South Africa and 100000 from Aus
traIasia. The figures from these two re-
gions already show a gain Of Sc, 100000
over the product of 1898 for the first six
months in South Africa and 100000 in
Australasia a further slight increase
in the rate of production would very easily
carry the product of 1894 above $3.50 co.,
OOO-an increase of $4,000, 900 above the
production of 1888 and $25OOO,OOO above the
production of any previous year.
These facts tend directly to bear out
the position assumed by the Morning
News, and to smash into nothingness the
free silverite claim that the supply of
gold is decreasing and that there will
shortly be a gold famine.

Needed at Once.

The merchants Of Savannah cannot or
ganize the freight and transportation bu-
reau too quickly for their own good. And
the sooner this fact is recognized, the bet
ter it will be for their business. Investi-
cations into the determinations against
this city have shown that, to the south
of us. New Orleans is selling goods as
near 10 us as Thomasville; Atlanta, on
the west. comes for trade within thirty
miles of this city, and Charleston, on the
north. is sending goods around and
through Savannah into the very heart
Of the territory heretofore enjoyed by
Savannah.
The fact is that Savannah for so long
a time. by. reason of her interests in the
Central railroad and its connecting lines,
left her transportation interests in the
care of railroad officials. that she feels
that those interests are still under their
on the stocks and bonds of those roads
were supposed to be a compensation for
any small losses in trade.
But conditions have changd, in the
whole railroad and business situation,
which change the merchants see in their
losses in trade and the dullness of bust
ness generally. And they are just be-
ginning to realize that they have been
asleep while the merchants of other cities
have been wide awake and pushing into
their territory. The awakening of Sa-
vannah should be made complete, and
quickly at that. Those merchants who
do not come forward at once and aid lib
orally in the establishment of a freight
bureau-an organization for mutual pro-
tection-win be recreant to their own in
terests, or else mean enough to take ad-
vantage of other peoples enterprise and
eXpenditures

the sentiments which dominate the people
south OF Mason and DiXon's line Is the
true one? Something IL wrong, certainly.

State Control of Railways.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem.

State ownership of railroads, which is
insisted upon by some loose thinkers as
a remedy for unfair determinations
against localities and against employees,
has developed greater evils where it has
been fried than are inherent in private
or corporate control. Pennsylvania Ohio,
Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts have all
had unfortunate experiences in building
and owning railways or canals.E State
management on a larger scale in European
countries has proved costly in construc-
ton and control, and inefficient in ser
vice. The final appeal, which lies to
the people themselves in the choice of
representatives, in case the state or the
federal government controlled the rail
ways Of the country, would be a million
railroad employees, every one of whom
would be practically a federal ofeeholder,
with his bread and butter depending upon
the cast of his ballot. Such a situation
would be worse than anything we are now
called upon to endure
