illuminated Buoy..

Another form Of beacon for mariners
Of smaller Dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy.
These floating lamp holders placed in
an estuary where the available channel
10 often only a narrow one. bounded by
mud or sand banks only a few feet below
the surface Of the water, are Invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating a high pressure reser-
voir and COMPRISING machinery.
Mr. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus. has introduced q min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost. The
maintenance Of one form Of lamp can
be kept up at a cost Of one penny for %
hours, and as no comprising machinery
Is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost Of the lamp. The
approach to port-such as that Of Liv-
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through a long avenue Of buoys
could by this invention be almost as
we'll lighted al a city street. -Cha1a-

& Pleasant Letter.

1t takes a clever man to find q good
word to say on every occasion. Tits said
Of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he once
received q letter from his friend, Pro
lessor Edward s. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible. Mr.. Al
drich was not at q loss for an answer.
In due time there came to MI. Morse
the following reply:
Ny dear Morse, it was very pleasant
to receive q letter from you the other
day. Perhaps I should have found it
tpleasanter il ! had been able to decipher
it. I don't think I mastered anything
beyond the date, which I knew, and the
signature, at which I guessed.
There is a singular and perpetual
charm in q letter Of syours-it never
grows old, and it never loses its novelty.
One can say every morning as one looks
at it: Here's a letter Of Morse's I
haven't read yet. I think I shall take
another shy at it today, and maybe I
shall be able in the course Of q few
years to make out what he means by
those t'sthat look like WI and those is
that haven't any eyebrows"
Other letters are read and thrown
sway and forgotten, but yours are kept
fo-ever-unread. One Of them will last
a reasonable man q lifetime.-Youthss

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
4 Belief That 1t Changed the History
of This Country.

q Belief That 1t Changed the History
of This Country.
It is said that q single glass Of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860. The story is worth telling.
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held q state con.
v%ention. Great excitement prevailed.
The leaders Of the party could not
agree. It was a critical period.
The majority report Endorsed the So
ceders or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their ac-
tion. The leading champion Of the mi
nority was Hersohel V. johnson. and
his followers were confident that his
eloquence and logic would carry the
day.
It is quite likely that such would
have been the a Q but for an unfortq.
nate mishap. Ex-Governor johnson be-
gan his speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second day and concluded
after dinner.
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was a powerful arguneaH,
and the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with . few
eledge hammer blows. b.
But the overoonfident friends Of the
minority report were doomed 10 disap.
