OLD SOILS RIDE IN 1849.
FlOwery Weather Predictions of the
Journalists of Long AEO,

Journalists of Long Ago.
In these days of practical newspa
per writing, in which bald facts are
expressed i'll the plainest and terscSt
form, the tlowery language INDUCED
in by some Of the journalists" half a
century ago sounds peculiar. The
following poetic convulsion was copied
by one of the local papers from the
New York Tribune in 1910 as worthy
Of a high place in the newspaper lit
erature of the day:
"On Saturday evening at II minutes
past II o'clock the sun rode calmly
and mildly over the autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the Win
try coast of autumn. But as yet the
vast ocean Of air through which he
sails is glowing and transparent with
the memory of the long summer days
that have passed over it, darting their
rich beams to its very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades. like the sky's blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis
lance the cold ghosts of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on icy hinges, while in the ST
lence of midnight prophetic voice Of
wailing and desolation means fitfully
at the easement"
Few people can contemplate this
specimen of literary architecture with
out experiencing feeling of awe and
sadness, with few cold shivers on
the side. 1t is proof positive that the
profession has in some things gained
by what it has lost-Albany Argus.

A Tale From the Mysterious East.

The last wonderful tale being told
among the Burmese In Rangoon Is con-
corning a monster egg. few months
ago near Shwebo the villagers heard a
strange ard mysterious voice in the
jungle uttering in Burmese the words,
peated frequently several times a day
for many days. Eventually the egg was
laid, and it's size is said to exceed that
of ten large paddy baskets. Nobody
will go near this egg, from which now
come the words. 81 am going to hatch"
also repeated many times every day.

DELAGoA BAY TREATY.
P1rtugese Representatives In This
Country Have No knowledge
on the Subject.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Luis Q. Nj.
p. 4. Taveira, Portugess consul gcn-
eral, said that he had no knowledge
Of any agreement regarding the sale
Of Delagoa bay. But" added Senior
Tayeira. this does not mean that
such an agrsemtn may not have been
made, would not be likely 10 hear
Of It before the general public. It
would not be surprising II a treaty
had been made or Is going to be
made"
The Portugese charge d'affairs in
the United Safes, Ignaclo De Coctn
Duarte, Is at present in this city. He
declared in an interview what, in his
opinion, It would be well for Portugal
to dispose Of Delagoa bay and the
last African pOssessions. They had
always been source Of trouble and
we're likely TO remain 50.
"Eut It Is not credible" said Senpr
Duarte, that any treaty has been
made by which Portugal has parted
with all her colonial possessions. ANY
ministry that agrsed u such a treaty
would not remain in power mir ute
II a treaty such as described In the
German newspapers had been consul
mated, there would have been some
hints Of 1t published in Portugal 10
