Time may set his fingers there,
Fix the smiles that curve about
Her winsome mouth. and touch her hair,
Put the curves of youth to rout;
But the Something God put there.
That which drew me TO her frst,
Not the imps of pain and care,
Not all sorrows fienc accurst,
Can kill the look that God put there.
Something beautiful and rare.
Nothing common can destroy;
Not all the leaden load Of care.
Not all the dross of earth's alloy:
Better than all fame or gold,
True only Goc's cwn truth.
1t is something all hearts hold
Who have loved once In their youth.
That sweet look her face doth hold
Thus will ever be TO me;
Joy may all her pirions fold.

Though the reads be foul or fair.

Pines


Not word concerning the whereabouts
of Admiral Schley has been received at
the Navy Department since the departure
of the Isle of Pines naval expedition,
which was headed by tSchley's flagship,
the Newark -
The department does not know that
Admiral Sehley transferred his flag from
the Brooklyn to the Newark in accord
ance with orders telegraphed recently, but
assumes that he has done so. In that
event, he must have gone at the head
of the Isle of Pines expedition.
Commodore Watson, who was directed
to transfer his flag from the Newark to
the Oregon, likewise failed to inform the
department of compliance with the order.
although he has communicated with the
department since then. Orders were tele-
graphed him Friday to transfer his flag
back to the Newark, as the Oregon will
go to Tompkinsville with the other ar
morclads of SIMPSONS fleet.
Commodore Watson has acknowledged
the receipt of the orders sent to Sampson
in his care. ordering the commodore to
send the arnored cruises and battleshfp
New York and to raise the blockade. The
department has also been informed by
Commodore Watson that he has sent
vessel to recall the expedition to the Isle
of Pines.

The reasons which were advanced for
the opening of these registers seemed to
apply as well TO all registers, but the
various departments in some cases re-
quested that no Information whatever be
given TO the public in regard TO the con-
dition of the register or the standing OF
eligibles.
This condition of affairs frequently
placed the commission in a very embar-
RAISING position, especially as the depart

Congress that such information could be

them were equal to any ever found for
beauty and coloring. The colors were
principally purplish red, copper red and
dark pink. Within the past eight years
over $500. go worth of pearls have been
sold from this district.
These discoveries led to immense ac-
tiyity in pearl hunting through all the
Streams of the region. but the North
western pearl excitement subsided in
few seasons, as the others had done in
turn before. by the exhaustion OF the
mussel beds and the consequent cessa-
ton of product. About every ten years
or so a new wave OF interest arises In
connection with fresh discoveries at some
point where the shells have lain long
undisturbed; it again absorbs the atten-
ton and excites the imagination of the
community around. and spreads to other
parts of the country. a fresh campaign
of ignorant determination is carried on

Several valuable pearls. however, were
this year found by persons from St
Louis and Memphis, who at once sent
them TO those cities. and ascerta ned their
value. The same parties then searched
for more, and took steps 10 lease the
land where pearls ware abundant. Era
long the facts became known, and Wild
excitement set in and spread through
large portions Of Arkansas extending
into Missouri Kansas ard the territory
OF the Choctaw Nation. The first i'm

White River and its branches, then on
