So Longfellow dwelt mournfully on
the passing Of the old year, and in like
manner did Tennyson bemoan its de-
mise:
Full knee deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are YEARLY signing.
Toll ye the church bell sad and slow
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die.

You lived with us so steadily

AIter nearing both s1oes General
Grant turned to Logan with q smile
and said he was sorry that the general
had placed his heart on any headquar-
ters in Vicksburg. because he had just
written an order sending the whole di-
vision on a special expedition to look
after the retreating rebels. Logan glow
cred until Grant, turning to cPherson,
said: II am sorry to disarrange your
plans, general, but have just written
an order sending your division on an
important expedition. ! appreciate the
feelings of the men who would like to
march through vicksburg, but it will
be impossible. Duty comes first" Gen.
eral Logan's face cleared and McPher-
son smiled. Each went to his command
and there was no further trouble. They
possibly suspected that Grant had in
vented the expeditions to get rid Of the
quarrel, but they recognized the fine
strategy Of his maneuver, the fairness
of his decision.

MoNAsTERIEs OF METEoRA.
An Extraordinary Scene on the Mscedo-

An Extraordinary Scene on the Mscedo-
nian Frontier.
Between the curve of the Macedo-
nian frontier of the mountains OF Khas-
sia and the open town Of Kalabaka,
which terminates the long western
plain of Thessaly, lie the monasteries
Of Meteora. A casual glance gives the
idea of the whole space being occupied
by lines of bare hills, but on nearer
inspection a curious amphitheater is
found, carved out among the noun
tains, and this is occupied by most
extraordinary collection Of rocks, on
which are perched, like storks' nests
or the turban on q Turkish tombstone,
the aerial Iaonasteries Of Meteora. In
one place O huge monolith is found lit
orally crowned with buildings, as in the
case of the monastery Of All Saints,
popularly known as Haglos Barlaam; in
another group Of Jagged rocks. will
have one point capped by monastery,
as is seen in ST. Nicholas. The most
striking feature about these monaster-
les is the method by which they are
reached, either by loose ladders hanging
outside the perpendicular rocks or by
being wound up by means of windlass
in net at the end Of a rope.
From its beautiful position, its size
and the fair preservation of its build
ings the monastery Of Haglos Barlaam
is very good specimen of these fifteenth
century monasteries, but what makes
this one Of especial interest is that
the rope Is said to be the longest used
for the purpose-340 feet. The ladders
to this monastery are not 30 difficult
to climb as some, but inasmuch as they
pull out every time you grip them and
oscillate frightfully it is pleasanter to
risk the net.
The monastery Of Haglos Nikolaos
appeared to be in totally dilapidated
condition and entirely deserted when
we visited Meteora, while the ladders,
which rise from neighboring peak and
hang from the bare rock, are impractica-

station for three months, and il then
transferred to another station by an in
spector on his quarterly visit. There are
nearly 1000 of these libraries in circu-
lation, each in it's little portable case,
and, by their judicious interchange, the
keepers Of stations where they are fur
nished see about 200 volumes year.
Keepers are forbidden to engage in
any business which will prevent their
presence at their stations or interfere
with the proper performance of their
duties Many have useful and profitable
occupations which they carry on at the
stations, while some fill pulpits, are
justices Of the peace or teach school.
All keepers are furnished with quarters
for themselves and in some cases for
their families. In some cases they are
furnished with food and rations. Other
stations have barns furnished for cattle
and horses, and boats are furnished all
stations inaccessible by land.
The discipline Of the service has been
always rigid, as BETTING service
where negligence or inefficiency may
mean the less Of many lives and much
valuable property.
Dismissal instantly follows in two
cases-where keeper is found intoxi-
Gated and where he allows his light to
60 out. Keepers are trained to consider
the care of the light and the lighthouse
property above any and all personal
considerations, and it is rare indeed
when they fail to realize this high
ideal. There have been number Of in
stances illustrating the esprit de corps
Of the service-how the keepers Of the
Minot's Ledge light first built went
down with the light and died at their
posts, how one keeper saved his lens
and let his family look out for them
selves, and instances where they have
saved public property and lost their
own.
Fortunately the service is not ham
pered by any question Of politics, and
this fact, coupled with the excellent
discipline maintained, accounts for the
fine class of men now in the service
men who take an honest pride in their
work, and whose interest makes the ef
ficiency of the service what it is. It II
unfortunate that the navy has no retir
ing laws for its seamen which would
allow men after 20, 20 or 80 years serv

A lighthouse keeper disappointed by
the secretary of the treasury on the rec-
ommendation of the lighthouse board,
and at first receives only an acting ap-
pointment. At the end Of three months,
If he passes an examination by the ma
val officer who is the inspector Of the
district, he receives full appointment;
If he does not pass, he is dropped from
the service. A keeper must be able to
read and write, keep accounts, sail and
pull boat and have enough mechanic
al ability to make the necessary minor
repairs about the station and keep it in
order. There is only one grade of keep
er recognized by law, but the custom Of
the service has divided the keepers into
different grades. with different pay and
duties and with promotion from one
grade to another. A man may be ap-
pointed to the service and assigned to
particular station, but he may be moved
at any time il promoted or il the inter-
ests of the service demand it. At sta
tions requiring but one keeper a retired
seafaring man, with family, is usual
ly selected, and in general men Of the
seafaring class are most wanted. At sta
rtions where there is fog signal one of
the assistants is a man who has an en-

according to the importance Of the sta
tion and the amount Of service render
ed. The principal keeper at Minot's
Ledge light, just outside Of Boston, re-
ceives $1,000 year for his services,
and this furnishes the only instance
where the pay Of keeper Is specified
by law.
The keepers who live at isolated
lighthouses and on the cffshore light
ships lead very monotonous life, bro
ken only by the sight of passing vessels
and the quarterly visit Of the lighthouse
supply boat.
These keepers get considerable leave,
about two weeks in three months, dur
ing which time they visit their families
ON full pay. A lighthouse on an outly.
ing reef, for instance, Is ON the same
status as lightship. except that It can

A Brilliant Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Ina M. Phillips
and Mr.. Wallace Williams, both of our
city, which was celebrated Sunday, Nov.
7, at 6 O'Clock at the Hotel Brooklyn in
Tacoma was very handsome affair.
The ceremony was witnessed by quite a
number of friends, who were nicely re-
ceived by Mrs. Ed. Farmer as they en-
tered the handsomely decorated parlor.
The wedding march announced the APP
proach of the bridal party, who were pre-
coded by the little flower girl, Lizzie
Farmer. AS she marched to her place
scattering pink and white roses along the
path, the bride and maid OF honor took
their place just back of her and the groom
and best man followed to the time OF the
enchanting music that helped to make
the affair a success. Miss Williams, OF
Seattle, acted as maid of honor, and the
groom's brother. Thornton Williams, OF
Seattle. acted as best man.
The bridesmaid and flower girl were
handsomely dressed in white nuns veil
ing trimmed with lace ribbon and flow
ers, and each carried bouquet of pink
roses. The bride wore a lovely white
china silk dress trimmed in white bro
caded silk and pearls. Roses were in
her hair. and she carried a handsome
bouquet of them. The groom was at
tired in an evening suit, which made him
appear the happiest man on earth.
Rev. Eshelman performed the wedding
ceremony in very pleasant aud impress
sive manner, and after the friends had
congratulated the, newly married couple.
a march was struck up by little Lizzie
Farmer, and the bridal party marched
out to their apartments to prepare for the
wedding tip.
