DAUGHTERS o. AMERICA.

Ring out, ye bells. your sweetest chimes;
Sing, all ye pc - dG.cct rnyme3;
Shout load, ye crowds. in strongest praise
Shine ont, fair sun, in softest rays.
And dance ye ripping waters.
Fer Freedoms sons viii sing song.
That in a chorus. high and stronS.
Shall sounding ring, from sea to sea,
Whose theme OF harmony shall be,
Americas true daughters.
OH they arc loyal, brave and true.
And fair the red, and white, and blue,
That in 4 nations co!ors rise,
Shine IL their cheeks, and brows and eyes,
And glow upon their banners.
From ocean shore to mountain crest;
From north, and south, and cast, and west;
From ali the bright and heauteous land,
They come, blessing-laden band,
And singing sweet hosannahs
With cheering words from such a mouth
AS thine. oh! daughter Of the south!
And love from such loyal breast,
AS thine. OH daughter of the west!
The sons can never falter.
And while in north and east shall stand
The earnest, helping, sister band,
Sweet Freedoms DAY shall know no night.
But ever shall the fame glow bright
Upon the country's altar.

IEigh Tensfon Electricitv.

Prof John Trowbridge has been max
ing some most interesting investiga-
tions in high tension electricity, using
only a very high voltage storage bat
terry and a system Of condensers. The
apparatus gave a four-foot spark.
Nothing could insulate it; not even a
vacuum tube. It proved satisfactorily
the futility of endeavoring to insnlate
a lightning~rod. The great spark rep
resented over 100000 of volts tension.
For a lightning-hazh mile long this
ratio would give something like 1,o00,-
oO0,o0o,oC0 of volts. The experiments
are Of special interest as the absence OF
an induction coil enables the voltage to
bemore accurately estimated.-Youth's is

0LD-TIaE RAILROADING.
Some of the Queer Rules Enforced
q Southern Reed Forty
Years Ago.

Vice President j. M. Eagan, of the
Central railway Of Georgia, has brought
to light some old rules which governed
the running Of trains on the Contra
10 years ago. They sound strange to
lay, even to those who are unfamilia!
with the standard rules.
On the old Central the practice wa
to run freight trains during the day
only, and to stop them off at some sta
ton at night. A freight train that
would leave a station after six o'clock
would run to some point that they
could reach between six and seven
o'clock, where they would remain over
night, starting out again the next
morning. The time card shows that
they occupied the greater part of two
days in running a freight train be-
tween Savannah and Macon, distance
of 191 miles. Following are some of the
rules fer engine men, taken from the
time card Of 1856:
The engine man viii be subject to
pay the fare of any person who may
ride upon his engine without proper au-
thorty."
"An engines unproyided with lamps,
and running at night out of time, must
Keep their dampers open, SO as to show
a light"
CAS- a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turn out win run back. ANY dispute as
to which train will retire will be deter
mined at once by the conductors, with
out any interference on the part Of the
engine men. This rule is required to
be varied in favor Of the heayiest-lOad
ed engine or worst grades, il they meet
near the center. In cases Of backing
man must be placed On the lookout so
that any danger to the remotcst part
of the train may be seen and the. en-
gine man at once receive nCtice-the
backing must be done very cautiously"
THE spark catcher or chimney CT an
engine getting out Of order, so as to
endanger the safety Of the train, the
conductor must put the train out the
first turnout, and return his engine
to Savannah for repairs--a watchman
must be left with the train"
THE conductor must not intrust his
keys to any of the hands, or suffer any
person not duly authorized to enter
MS car, and he will in all cases be
charged with freight lost or damaged
while under his charge. On entering or
leaving a turnout he will see that the
switches are replaced to the proper
track, and he will always be certain
that he arrives at station with the
same number Of cars with which he
left the last station"
"All officers Of this company will be
required to pay freight on merchandise
or produce transported over this road
except butter, eggs and fruit-those
articles will be allowed to go free as
far as they are required for the use of
their own families; other articles for
the use cf their families will be trans
ported at one-half less than the usual
rates"
On the South Carolina railroad time
card No. ?, June, 1855, reads as fol-
lows:
"In cases of dense fogs, the down
trains willrun with their whistles blow
ing. The up trains will shut steam
off the engines at every mile board, and
listen for the whistle Of down trains"

THE KANSAS HORSE.
Pegasus and BucephaIus Reported to
Have Been Natives of
the State.

speaking of the record of Joe Patch
en-, the Kansas horse, do you know"
said a Kansas horseman and real estate
ural horse country in the world? Talk
about Arabia Why, it simply wasn't
in it with Kansas. If you could trace
back the ancestry Of ali the noted
horses of the country, you would run
'em back finally to this country. It's
the climate and water that gives EN- the
wind and speed
How about Pegasus?" asked sal
low-complexioned, professor-loolling
man, who wore spectacles and talked
with a Boston-bean accent.
''What was his stcck-Hambleton
or Kentucky Whip?" asked the Kansas
horseman, who hadn't heard of Pegasus,
and was evidently sparring for. wind.
"Pagasus," repled the professor, as
he deliberately wiped his spectacles,
was the noted flying steed captured
by Bcllerophon, tie son of Glaucus,
while quenching its thirst at cele-
brated spring"
"Oh, yes" said the Kansas hcrseman,
frightening. Il recollect all about it
now. That spring was down here at
Geuda, Sumner county. Best water fer
horses | ever saw. Wild horses used to
come 100 miles to drink that water.
Didn't know that feller Bellerophon
personally, but heard of him often.
Think / met him nnce when he was buy
ing up a herd CT horses from Texas.
Boys used TO call him Beller' because he
talked loud. You could hear him all
over the town when he called for a
drink. He was something of blow, but
he knew the points Of horse, al right"
"How about Bucephalus? p asked the
professor as soon as he recovered from
his first shock of urprise.
Don't just call the horse to mind, :"
said the Kansas horseman, knitting his
brows in thought. when did he make
his record 2"
''He was the wild horse that was
broken to ride by Alexander, after he
had thrown the most expert equestrians
OF Phillips court" responded the pro-
fessor with an expression that plainly
indicated, Il have him now''
why, of course said The Kansas
horseman. "Oughst to have remembered
that before. That horse used to run in
a herd that ranged between the Pan
Handle and where Wichita is now.
Used to range down on the Peavine
flats, in Sumner and Harper counties,
nearly every summer. Seen him many
a time. No question but what he was
born down in the southwest part of the
state. Finest wild horse | ever saw.
Had a name that came down to his
knees, and when he smel1ed danger you
could hear him snort half mile. That
fellow Alexander that broke hin-let's
see, what was his first name why, sir,
he could ride anything that were hair,
but he mighty near had to give in when
he struck the horse. I understood that
he told some of the boys around town
that he wouldn't tackle another job Of
that kind for 500. As I was saying,
there is just no end to the wind and
nerve Of a Kansas-bred horse"
But the professor from Boston was
not there to hear. He had given up the
unequal contest and fed.--Chicago

Ingenious sounding Apparatus.

Rapidtest souudings were required
in some work on railway line between
Paris and Havre, where the cast-iron
viaduct of Bezons was replaced by an
arch bridge alongside. The old founda-
tions for six channel piers were re-
moved to the bottom of the river. 1t
was required that the river bed should
be carefully leveied. After it had been
dredged the bottom was explored by
means of horizontal bar of iron about
30 feet long, which was suspended at
each end from a framework uniting
two fiat boats in catamaran fashion.
This beam was lowered close to the bot
tom and the boats were gradually
moved along in the direction transverse
to the length of the bar. When the
scraper encountered no irregularity,
the suspending chains hung vertically,
but as soon as either end was DETECTED
by contact with any obstruction an
electric circuit was closed, which
caused an alarm to be rung. The boat
was stopped, and the obstruction To-
Gated by means of sounding poles. In
this way, small stones, down 10 a di-
emeter of four inches, were easily To-
Gated, and the bed of the river was lev
eled to within that amount of irreg-
ularity. This method proved rapid and
ccessful.-Savannah News.

DEFEATING A PRIVATEER.
An Interesting Incident in the Early
Naval Career of Famous
British Seaman.

The New England privateer contests
in the long ago gave a distinguished
officer Of the royal navy his first cppor-
tunity. Charles Wager was the nephew
of John Hull, Newport merchant. He
was with his uncle in one Of his YES
sells when she was threatened by a
French or Spanish priyateer. There is
a well-attested tradition that Wager,
only lad, but high-mettled, persuaded
the peaceful, nonresistant owner to re-
tire to the cabin and give him control of
the vessel.
Charles mustered the erew-they
were always armed-and handled them
so bravely and skillfully that the at
tacking party was baff1ed. The old
Quaker's anxiety prevailed over his
principles, and, coming into the com
panionway, he stood taking snuff and
watching the fight As he was below
the level of the combatants, he could
well see the effect Of the firing.
His interest grew ard his excitement
waxed high as the contest went on. He
took pinch after pinch Of snuff in most
wasteful fashion; his usually inmacu-
late waistcoat became recklessly pow
dered. Finally he cried out:
"Charles, if thee means to hit that
man in a red jacket thee had better
raise thy piece little,"
The attack was repulsed and the gal
liant Charles was commended by his
uncle with: ''Thee did well, Charles,
thee did well, but fighting is wrong.
Still, Charles, if thee had let them whip
1 could have flung thee overheard"
Through his friends Wager obtained
a post in the royal navy, ending his
honorable career as Sir Charles Wager,
first lord of the admiralty, and finally
with a monument in Westminster alb
bey.-Youth's Companion.

BID FOR THE BUSINESS.
Competition Between the Roads for
Hauling the Fifteenth East.

Competition Between the Roads for
Hauling the Fifteenth East.
The railways have been given until
tomorrow to put in bids for the trans
portation Of the Fifteenth regiment to
Camp Meade, Pa. The trains are to be
ready Thursday, but 1T has not been
decided whether the men shall be load
ed in the cars at Fort Smelling or
whether they shall march to this city
to take the cars.
There Is keen competition among the
roads to secure the contract for the
transportation Of the troops. Repre-
sentatives Of all the st. Paul terminal
lines except the Western roads met in
the Milwaukee office yesterday after
noon to settle upon a plan of action
that would insure to each an equal
chance in the selection Of the route.
It was feared that unless an under
standing was reached some line would
offer to transport the regiment for so
low a rate that there would be no
profit in 1T. The meeting did not re-
suit In an agreement, but it adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
The regiment may be transported
over three lines. Each battalion may
be assigned to a different road. This
would insure q speedier journey to
Camp Meade az it would allow only
one special train on each road. If the
entire regiment La sent over one line

The statement for the current week is
about what was anticipated The
treasury took $4,000, 900 from the banks
on bond account, and the loss to the
interior was between one and two mill
lions. The clearing house report makes
the loss of cash about $4,000, 900. The
decrease in deposits reached the I'M
usually large sum of $50, 4S7, 200, which
was due to the cash contraction noted,
and the falling off of Sc, 77S, 700 in loans.
1t is to be noted that had the banks
not called in outstanding loans. the
surplus reserve would have practically
disappeared.
THE present financial situation is
anomalous. The country never had so
much money, but it is so distributed
that 1t is unavailable for use. and it is
needed now more than ever. The treas

RETURNS TO HIS WORK.
NJ. l.. Hutchins Home From a Visit
to Some Canadian Points.


NJ. L. Hutchins has just returned
from an extended trip. Mr.. Hutchins
having been given one months vaca-
ton from his duties visited Chicago,
Detroit, Toronto, Niagara Falls and
some points of interest on the st. Law
renee. He speaks in glowing terms or
the beautiful city Of Detroit, Mich.
The trip UP the st. Clair flats to Port

enjoyment. Detroit being the former
home of Mr.. Hutehins he is delighted
with its advancement. Visiting Tor
onto, Can, also former home, Mr..
Hutchins was fortunate enough to take
In the industrial exhibition, which Is
the greatest in the Dominion-one of
the principal attractions this year be-
ing the battle Of Santiago.
Visiting Niagara Falls he found 1t
more interesting than ever before, on
account of the George trip on the trolly
car which follows the edge Of the river
from Lewiston to the Fails. His trip
on the st. Lawrence was principally to
visit the place Of his birth. While there
he was much interested in the Can
adian enterprise Of enlarging the Corn
wall, Morrisburgh and Cardinal canals
Crops have been good and were gath
cred early. In looking over the various
systems of caring for the dependent,
Mr.. Hutchins says he finds no city
where the poor are treated with greater
care and consideration, and where there
are so few fake schemes practlced on
the public, and so few beggars on the
streets as there are In st. Paul.
