The success of Rebecca's Tri-
umph, and also of the minstrel ag-
gregation last fall. shows that there
is plenty of amateur dramatic tai
ent in Florence if properly handl-
ed and trained. 1t will be a pity
if it is allowed to languish until
some charitable object presents
itself for which an entertainment
has to be given. Why should not
an amateur dramatic club be form
ed here which could give enter
tainments of its own, and after
having made enough money for
it's costumes and such necessities,
give regular performances in aid
of charities, firstly of universal in
terest and afterwards for churches
in regular turn. BY this means
we should get frequent amuse-
ments, and often prevent good
money going out of town in the
pockets of travelling third rate
companies.

Here is what Peter Cooper, who
died with many millions, said of a
newspaper: I'm all the towns
where newspaper is published
every man should advertise in it, if
nothing more than a card stating
his name and the business he is in.
1t not only pays the advertiser,
but it let's people at distance
know the town in which you reside
is prosperous community of bus
mess men. As the seed is sown,
so the seed recompenses. Never
pull down your sign while you ex-
pect to do business"

While the stock markets are de-
moralized owing to fears of war,
the marts of trade are busy. Pros
perity is felt in many directions
The reviews of last weeks trade
are most encouraging. The rail
roads are gaining even while spec
ulators are selling their stocks
Products used in industrial enter
prises are in demand and it is moi
alone the fever of preparation foI
war that has kept the thermometer
OF trade rising healthfully

THE DREAM OF THE SPANISH
ADMIRAL, A. D. 1871.

In slumber as the morning broke
ct was our homeward VOYAGE TO Spain)
Methought L gave parting look
AT the New World beyond the main;
The shores were low, and soft, and faint.
Half-purple mist and half-firm land
On which the sunbeams seemed to paint
The semblance of a foamy strand.
I dreamed 1 saw hundred slips
Where not sail had glanced before,
And for chained hands and livid lips
l heard newborn people roar.
To every mast a. flag was nailed.
No lion crest, but stripes and stars
And deep into the sea they sailed
TO wrestle with US, old in wars
They Glove our ranks, they Climb the
towers r--
Our Hottest galleons proudly bore:
They struck with more than mortal
powers,
Till Spain herself could strike no more.
And down the wind we drifted far
And to the shore our lulIxs We're blown:
The sea was thick with mast and spar
And Spain was shaken from her throne.
And louder than the whirling brine.
And louder than the cannon 5 ICar.
l heard a voice, Vengeance is mine,
l recomDense for evermore!''
Now may st. James defend US STILL
And may the cavaliers of Spain
Sail on and conquer whom they will,
And teach me that my dream was vain.
Samuel Ddrman in the Spectator.

a new method of testing the hardness
! of steel balls has been devised in Ger

fixed height on a glass plate set at an
angle: If properly tempered they re-

too soft they drop into another.

Soldiers and sailors accustomed to
smoking, and who have lost their slght
in action, continue to smoke for short
while but soon give UP the habit They
say it gives them no pleasure when they
cannot see the smoke. and some have
said that they cannot taste the smoke
unless they see it.
The uses of the fan are many and
various in Japan, where they are carried
by men, women and children. A butter

at wrestling and fencing matches is made
to express a number of messages per-
fectly understood and promptly attended
to by the combatants.
That the military spirit in Germany is
not confined TO the men is shown by the
following. The sixth regiment of UhlanS
was transferred from Langensalza and
Muhlhausen to Hanau, and within six
months 254 servant girls, seamstresses,
and cooks had followed them from their
old garrison towns to their new ones.

a Method In His Manner.

1t was raining cats and dogs out
side and the Columbus avenue car was
crowded, says the New York CONNER
cal Advertiser. A young /oman stood
looking from one seated man to an
other, but the men, would not bulge.
She looked timidly. then a0Dealingly.
then daggers, but they did not care.
Finally the worst dressed and rough
est looking man in the car got up.
Here is a seat for you, num-" he
said, suavely.
"Oh, thank you ever so much" said
the young lady, shooting glances IL the
other men which said: You are cen
tlemen, but this uneducated Iaborer
could give you a lesson in manners"
Presently she was shifting about on
her seat, shielding now her face, now
her white stand-up collar, and looking
with troubled face at a point in the
ceiling from which the water came
down at irregular intervals, in splashes
as big as a cent
The well-dressed men buried their
smiles in their newspapers. The Ia
borer, now ensconced in a. corner near
the driver, gave his vis-a-vis a wink.

herself, hugging a doll The little one
was pretty, with large black eyes. ra-

a face so pleasant and full of light that
it naturally attracted everybody.
Nobody could talk to little Bohumala
Homa, for that was her name. vet
ladies who bent down over her seemed
to understand her dainty foreign Jar
gon. Around the child's neck wa a
string that held suspended upon her
bosom the photograph of a Young
woman holding babe in her arms. To
the photograph was a note written in
the Polish language stating the name
OF the child, whittier bound, and asking
strangers to show her along her way.
The child had come all the way from
Bremen, in north Germany, all alone.
and was on her way to her mother
whose name is Anna Klobosa, and who
lives at 1IOS South Broadway, st. Louis
The place from which she started
originally could not be learned. Her
clothes were very poor, and her little
shoes were made of the coarsest kind
of leather. She carried no baggage ex-
cept a. little school sack, in which were
a few primary books, nuts, candies.
cakes and large envelopes that con-
tanned her transportation. OF these
the little one was very careful. and
would cry in a frightened manner if
anybody touched them.
From steamship captain to railroad
conductor her guardianship had run
since she was first tagged and sent
afioat down one of the worlds great ar
teries, but everybody amused her. and
before the train took her away for her
St. Louis home the little one had made
friends OF nearly all in the big waiting
room.

And England bids US smile,
Repeating in our new world nGht

Ringing the glory of our fleet
From crest to foaming crest.
The shades of Nelson. Collingwood.
And all her admirals brave.
Could they but wake to hear the roar
Our guns in Sulu gave,
Would send the far God speed and
mark
The glory that is ours
When the new engines of the sea
Speak forth their thunder powers.
Beside the three another stands.
And on the storied page
Manila and the Asian fleet
Receive the victors wage
OF glory in the combat won
For valor on the sea,
And for the flag that floats above
The squadron of the free.
Aboulzir heard the turrets ring.
The city of the Nile

And those look up to smile
For shadows of the dead dance there,
And well those shadows know
The deep roar of the hurting shell
That shakes the ships below.

AT one struck Denmark down.

The doom of tyrant sway.
Let Baltic sleep and Nile repose.

The shade of Nelson walks
To cheer our new world fame.
But Dewey's thunder-stroke has wrapped
The history of the sea
In the brave colors of the flag
That floats above the free.
