THE CUMBERLAND.

At anchor in Hampton Roads we lay
On board Of the Cumberland. sloop-of-
war,
And at times from the fortress across
the bay
The alarum of drums swept past
Or bugle blast
From the camp on the shore.
Then far away to the south up rose
A little feather of snow white smoke,
And we Knew that the iron ship of our
foes
Was steadily steering it's course
To try the force
OF our ribs Of oak
Down upon US heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort;
Then comes a puff Of smoke from her
guns
And leaps the terrible death,
With fiery breath,
From each open port
We are not idle, but send her straight
Defiance back in full broadside!
AS hail rebounds from roof Of slate
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
Of the monsters hide.
'Strike your f1ag!' the rebel cries
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
~Never!" our gallant Morris replies.
ut is better to sink than to yield!''
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers Of our men.
Then like kraken huge and black
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp.
Down went the Cumberland all a wrack,
With sudden shudder Of death
And the lannon's breath 4
For her dying gasp.
Next morn, as the sun rose over the bay.
Still f1oated our flag at the mainmast
head.
Lord, how beautiful was thy day! S
Every watt of the air Isl Hgz=
Was whisper Of prayer
Or dirge for the dead.
Flo, brave hearts that went down in the
= seas! s... --'. -.
Ye are at peace in the troubled stream.
Ho, brave land, with hearts like these.
Thy flag, that is rent in twain 4
Shall be one again
And without seam!

FILLED" BEDCLOTHES.

They Are Moisture AttractOrs, and
" g cath Turks In Them. s
Science, thy name is adulteration !
Another terror has been added to exist
ence by the revelations made by trade
paper Of the processes by which certain
manufacturers "fll'' the sheets and
blankets with which they flood the mar
ket. . T., @ ~. !.
We are told that after piece Of
waste sheeting has been woven the cloth
is passed over a trough containing So
luton Of zinc, sulphate Of magnesia
Commonly known as EPSON salts) and
water. This is called sprinkler. A re-
volving brush plays spray OF these
noxious ingredients upon the cloth,
with the result that so pound piece
after the operation weighs ~ pounds
more than when it left the loom. As
the goods are sold by the pound, the OBJ
ject is evident. # t.2:. 3 III
But what about the purchaser? A
piece cuts up into ten pairs Of sheets.
Each pair therefore contains three-quar-
tiers of a pound Of moisture attracting
material. The results are appalling.
Az soon as wet day comes the sheets
become damp and the luckless wight
who sleeps between them is apt to con-
tract a chill that may send him to the
bourn whence no traveller returns.
Even if his suspicious are aroused and
he boldly casts aside the sheets and
wraps himself in the blankets it may
avail him nothing, for the blanket
makers have learned the trick, and the
same i'll results may ensue.
Next we shall hear that the counter
pane makers are equally astute, and
the timid sleeper may be driven to pro-
vide himself with the wooden sleeping
bags that suggest travels in the farthest
north. The only advantage Of these
'filled'' or heavily : sized" sheets and
blankets is that they are death to in
sects, but if they kill the sleeper as
we'll as the pulex irritans- to say moth

SUPERIOR.

blv Tuesday evening next
in the Hammond block and all
delegates are urgently request
ed to be on hand promptly at
eight o'clock. Several matters
of importance will be discussed
chief of which will be the adj
visibility of sending a delegate
to the next convention of the
A. F. of l., which will be held
in Kansas City, Mo-, on Dec. II.
The unfair committee met
Sunday morning. Label agi-
tation was discussed and a COM
mittee of three appointed to
place before all union men and
the pu Sic in general, suitable
literature containing fac SIM
lilies of all labels now in vogue.
1t is expected that a local
branch of the International
Association Of Machinists will
be formed next week. There
are about 40 men eligible to
membership and the new union
will be welcomed into the ranks
Of the organized in Superior.
The BARRIERS union held a
meeting Tuesday evening for
the purpose of discussing ways
and means Of getting bill be-
fore the coming session of the
legislature.
The arguments in favor of it
are that it would, were it
passed, insure a better class of
worknen in the shops, and
would be a guarantee to the
public that a good workman
was waiting upon them; it
would insure cleanliness, rid
the profession Of cheap, incom-
petent workrnen, turned out by
so-called "barber schools, and
would tend to raise this class
of workmen to higher level of
responsibility in the eyes Of the
public.
The bill provides that no per
son shall work at the BARRIERS
profession unless he shall have
obtained certificate of regis
tration. A board of examiners
is to be appointed by the gov
ernor, to be composed Of three
mem bers, each member to be
recommended by the BARRIERS
unions throughout the state.
This board is to hold examina-
lions at least four times in each
year in four different cities of
the state, within 80 days after
the passage of this act every
person practicing barbering in
the state is to send in his name,
residence and length of time
during which he has practiced
his profession, to the secretary
of the appointed board of ex-
aminers, and pay to the treas
ury of the board the sum of one
dollar, upon payment of which
he will be issued a certificate
of registration, emitting him to
practice such occupation.
Any person desiring certi-
ficate, must pay to the board
the sum of So, and shall under
go an examination. He must
be above the age of nineteen
years, of good moral character,
free from contagious or infec-
tious diseases, must have stud
led as an apprentice for spec
fled period, or must show that
he has practiced the trade for
three years in another. state.
The board of examiners under
the act will have power to re-
woke any certificate of registra-
ton granted, when person is
of habitual drunken
ness orany other offense, crime,
incompetency or the like disa-
bilities.
