THE ALAMO.


Beseiged, Out-numbered, Succorless:
But with undaunted pride,
Defying foes who round them press,
The Texan heroes dies.
Here the brave Travis rfearlesS
stood,
And faced his cruel foes;
These walls We're stained with Bowies
blood
Here Crockett dealt death blows:
Here in the tumult of the storm.
In battles SulphurOuS breath;
Their thin intrepid lines they form.
And calmly wait for death.
All hope of Succor they resign;
Their lives they count as drOss;
When Travis drew the fateful line.
Not one refused to cross.
With high resolve they grandly chose
To die if needs must be,
Rather than yield to alien foes
The hOmesteads of the free.
Invitingly the prairies wide,
Offered chance to fly;
But they gave heed to naught beside
Save how to nObly die.
Though in the view of every man
LoOmed death, and dire defeat,
They left no line; they formed no
plan
BY which they might retreat
Without four thousand of the foe,
Thirsting for human gore,
And they within the Alamo,
Were eight less than nine score:
Such odds We're counted naught by
Who bravely held this post.
And struggled here, the march to
stem.
OF the invading host.
The hour has come, surrender all"
The naughty foeman cries:
And Travis from the outer wall,
BY common mouth replies:
Interpreter was needed not.
That rough speech to cOnStrue:
The meaning of that cannon shot,
The MeXicans well knew.
In all the records time has made
OF battles lost, or won,
No grander courage was displayed;
No Drawer deed was done;
All fields of fame, where heros fell,
Had messengers of woe,
But none survived the tale to tell
How fell the Alamo.
No monument above the brave,
Rears its fair form on high;
In an unknown, neglected grave
The immortal herOS lie;
Earth guards the secret of their tomb
Close hidden. unrevealed,
Where meath the verdure and its
bloom,
Their ashes are concealed.
Immortal spirits of the dead,
Fair freedoms martyred slain;
Not fruitlessly your blood We shed;
Ye did not die in vain;
On San Jacinto'S fame crowned field
A vengeful cry uprose;
The Alamo remembered, sealed,
| The fate of freedoms foes.
Their deathless glory lives in song,
Fame's lips will still repeat
The AlamO's sad tale. as long
As human pulses beat;
While hearts with pride and valOr
glow,
And liberty is taught;
1 III Illtu WIN utIN lllt %hldhlp'
Will never be forgot.
The mild spring day again returns,
The early flowers bloom,
The river bank is green with ferns,
The air. filled with perfume;
And freely nature StrewS her gifts.
OF blossom, grass and tree.
The battle smoke no longer drifts,
And all the land is free.
Where once was strife and battle rage,
Where guns disturbed the air;
Rises our gOOdly heritage,
A city proud and fair;
And ever with most grateful pride.
We feel the debt we owe
To those heroic men who died
Within the Alamo.

Hanna Was Glad to Sec Him.

The Buffalo Express tells 4 good story
of a Buffalo man whose first name is
John, and who has the pleasure OF an
intimate personal acquaintance with
Senator Mark Hanna Not long ago he
was in Washington and called on the
genial Ohioan. "How do you do, John:"
said MI Hanna, cordially extending his
hand. "I'm glad to see You. I'm
very well, y replied the Bu1falonian,
"and 1 would like to add right ut the
outset that I have not called on you to
bespeak your influence i'll getting a
political appointment either for myself
or any friend. :" A broad smile of relief
passed over the senator's face, and,
srasping the hand Of his friend Il second
time, he shook it moro heartily than be-
fore, exclaiming with unfeigned earnest
ness, Johnny, Johnny, I'm-glad to
see youl''

Ecverslng Nature.

The reversibility Of the physical proc
esses of nature has latterly been the
subject CT interesting comment. Lord
Kelvin, for example, has been credited
with saying that al Of them, no matter
how complex they might appear to the
human senses, consist in reality of the
motions of invisible molecules, and if,
therefore, ly some means, all these
molecules could, at the same time, DO
made to move in exactly the opposite di-
rection, and each with the same velocity
that it possessed at the moment, all the
world would begin and continue to move
backward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides of cliffs, rivers would run upward
from the sea, rain wcpld rise, full blown
flowers would shrink into buds and
plants dwindle into seedlings, man him
self would become yorng again, passing
from old age to infancy Just what kind
of pictures such IL torsy-tnrvy world
would presentnay be seen with kinet-
oscope running backward. Professor
Queroult, according to report, has made
observations il this line, and some time
ago Communicated them to the French
Academy CT ScicIoe-Cassicr's Maya
Eire.

HOW TALC is GUARDED.
Where It Comes From and the Manner Of
Sending 1t to Market.

At Luzenac, in the upper valley Of
the Ariege tale is quarried on an ex-
tersive scale in the granite Of st. Bar
thclemy, mountain I, 700 feet high
and about 20 miles from the main chain
Of the Pyrences. Tie quarries, which
are situated about two miles from the
summit and 3, 500 feet above the sea,
are opened in a bedded deposit, included
between micaschist below and lower
silurian States above, which has been
followed for about 1000 yards in a
north and south direction, with Il dip Of
about 60 degrees to the east, the thick
ness varying from 100 to 1000 feet, as
does also the composition. Masses Of
limestone and granite, the latter often
Of considerable size, are frequently found
included in the silicate Of magnesia,
which also contains some alumina.
The best rock is Of a brilliant white
color and feels greasy to 1.-THE touch when
ground to fine powder. The principal
quarry, at Tremouin, is worked in the
open, across the direction Of the bed,
forming two CT three terraces so feet
high, the surface covering, to 10 feet
thick, having been first stripped. The
stuff broken is carried by a level in Tie
bottom OF the quarry, driven in the foot
wall Of the vein 10 the valley Of Axiat,
whence it is hauled in bullock wagons
about ~ miles to the works of Luzenac,
where water power Of 80 horsepower
is obtained from the Ariege. The me-
chanical preparation includes sizing by
sieyes, driving IN a rotating cylinder
furnace, breaking, grinding and sitting.
Nearly the whole Of the product is
converted into powder, only small
part Icing made into pencils for mark
