And (rave th lady his free band
To help her down upon the sand.
The hnge ombre 11a leDt its shade
To grateful man apd gracious maid;
With all the world quite close at hand.
They felt alone upon the sand.
Some flimsiest web that fiction weaves
She read; 1 idly turned the leaves.
And so. it happened that their hands
Touched now and then upon the sands.
Her shawl was fluttered by the breeze,
And both essayed the folds to seize,
And so it happened that their hands
Met once again upon the sands.
She didnot mean it should be so,
But be forgot to let tier's go;
And she forgot to claim her hand.
And thus they sat, upon the sand.
The book was closed, the shawl blew wide.
And as they sat there side by side
They both agreed to fast lock: hands
Ana walk together o'er life's sauds.
Rome weeks passed by, and both again
Were seated oy the sighing main:
Alas! be held another's hands.
Another hers, upon the sands.

New York Sun.
"If you can get that queer-looking duck to
talk, be may give you a wrinkle," said a io
liceruau to a reporter, poiuting out a man
whom the reporter had often seeu loitering
around t be newspaper offices as the last of the
reporters, editors, and comjiositois bend their
steps homeward. His ae was probably about
45, although the weather-beaten look of his
face made him seem older than he really was.
His slight figure was bent forward at the
shoulders, and his eyes were closely bent
upon the pavemeut as he walked slowly
along.
" I don't, waiTt no competitors in my biz,"
be said, tbo' 'taint every one who'd have
the perseverance or the gifts to follow it. I'm
a finder, that's what I am, and I'm a mo
nopolist," What is a finder" asked the reporter, i
"I'm a finder of things that are lost ; that
is I hunts for 'em a good deal oftener than I
finds 'em. You ain't no idea how many
val'ble things is lost every day in this city
jewels, watches, purses, rolls of money, dogs
and children. 2sot half the folks who loses
thinks to advertise, but some dxs. They
rush to the newspaper otlices, and I waits
heie to get the earliest copies and read the
ad vertisements. "
Is it possible you find things that have
been lost so many hours before f"
"Some times, but not often. If I makes a
good hit once in two weeks I'm satisffc!.
J Hit as often I don't make one in a month.
You see, the al. says very gen'lly, 'lost
'tween somewhere and somewhere.' Well I
goes and I paces that district, and my eyes
has got so sharp that they cau tell the glint
of a di'mond or any stone from a bit of
broken glass on the darkest night. Why,
you and a lots of people walks over lost
things every day and never sees Via You
walks with your eyes in the air a fixed on
the folks and the - windows, I or

ia always close to my own feet, and I walk
mighty slow. The gutters is the great place
for lost things; they get dropped there by
women who are alius iu a hurry eroding
roads, or they get knocked iu by feel or
dresses. Only the other day I was eio.viing
a street aud saw a mud ly bit of cardboard
lying in the gutter. Ten thousand people
would have passed it by, but I saw what
looked like a pin sticking i:i it. I grabbed its
turned it over, and there, sure enough, was a
a gold breastpin set with pearls stunners
too."
Uen. Sherman Mini pie Campaign
Habit h.
E. V. Smalley in The Century.
Sherman's habits during his campaigns
were of the simplest. Ho rose early in the
morning, and was up late - at night. In
the face of the enemy, five hours' sleep
ufficied him. Before the reveille sounded,
be was often in the saddle and out on the
most exposed part of his line. The orders
were always to arouse him at any
hour of the night, if report came
in. During the Atlanta campaign he set the
example to his troops of discarding tents and
reducing baggage to a minimum. There was
but one tent attached to his headquarters,
and that was used by his adjutant general
and his clerks. With his stall he slept on the
ground under a tent fly, which was stretched
at night over a pole resting in the crt tches of
some convenient saplings. It used to be said
that his headquarters were in a candle-box,
because one or two small boxes, emptied of
the caudles they originally bad coutained,
served to transport his papers.
The soldiers called him "Old Tecuuis" and
"Uncle Billy," tho latter nickname coming
into general use in the army during the
march to the sea. At his headquarters a
iingle sentry stood guard; but nobody,
whether ofiietr or private soldier, who
wanted to speak to the general, was slopped.
He always bad a cordial and encouraging
word for the soldiers when he rode along
the lines in front of the enemy or passed a
marching column. For the details of military
etiquette and ceremony he cared nothing:
but for sturdiness in action and en lurance in
bard marching, he had a quick eye and a
ready word of praise. He was unusually
communicative and outiokeii, unless his
plans demanded secrecy.
Sometimes his frankness deceived the
enemy more than concealment would have
done. After he captured Savannah, he snt
a flag-of-truce boat to Charleston and gave
permission to go upon it to the families of
Confederate officers who wished to get in
tide the Confederate lines. Among the ap
plicants for passes was the wife of a Con
federate surgeon, who told the general
she wanted to go to Columbia, South
Carolina, to join her husband. "Don't go to
Columbia, madam," exclaimed Sherman. ul
fcball be there myself in a few days with my.
whole army. You are at liberty to tell that
to your rebel friends in Charleston." The
lady made haste to. communicate this infor
mation to the Confederate commanders in
Charleston as soon as she arrived; but all
agreed that, if Sherman actually meant to
march to Columbia, he would never have
paid so. His advance reached Columbia a
day after the surgeon's wife arrived.

THE POPE'S DAILY LIFE.
HI Personal Habit and Mpeeeh Be

Hi tuple Life.
II Capitan Francaise.l
One of our correspondents has had a
conference with the Rev. Philip Barry,
canon of the Cashel cathedral. The
canon spoke as follows : "Leo XIII. is
now 74 years of age. He is
tall, thin and bony. His face is of an
ivory tint, and his eyes and lips are
very expressive and smiling. He looks
very firm. Sinieoni says lie resembles
Voltaire, but Leo XIII. 's smile is totally
different to Voltaire's smile. The pope
wears his age well and walks remark
ably straight. He has snow white hair
and very finely marked eyebrows. His
eyes are wonderfully intelligent look
ing, and his voice is extremely har
monious. He speaks several languages
as well as any professor of languages.
He never says a foolish thing nor does
a foolish thing like poor Pins IX..
whose policy was fatal to tho pope's
temporal power. He rises early, and
spends the first hours of tho day in
prayer, and generally in his bed-room.
At 9 o'clock he says mass. At 8 o'clock
he breaks his fast with a cup of choco
late, reading his correspondence all tho
time. At 9 o'clock he receives Jacobin
and tho chiefs of religious societies. At
noon he receives those Roman patri
archs who have remained true to lum
and the embassadors.
"At 1 o'clock he dines, his dinner
rarely costing more than 2 francs, or
half a dollar." "And he keeps so many
cooks!" said the correspondent. 'lle
is obliged to keep up a pe.i ranees," an
swered the canon. "Once upon a time
popes were great eaters and drinkers,
and were given to every kind of ex
travagance; but Leo XIII. is nothing
of all this. After dinner he takes a lit
tie walk in the Vatican grounds, or he
visits the museums, galleries, etc.
Sometimes he is carried in a chair
quilted with white (satin. He is very
fond of the garden, and likes to play the
gardener at times. He frequently re
ceives visitors in the garden, and talks
of flowers to them to avoid other sub
jects. The first and second times I saw
him he was in tho garden. W hen I
went with the pilgrims he was preceded
by three noble . guards, and at
his side was Monsignor Macchi,
his servant chamberlain. He wore
a wide-brimmed hat and a
large red cloak. We were presented to
him one by one. He looked at us and
scrutinized us well. I saw he recog
nized nie, but he treated me like the
others as if he saw me also for the
first time. 'Are vou all Irish ?' he said ;
'I am happy to receive the faithful of
that nation! He then looked again at
us as if he would have read into our
souls. 'Your bishr.p, he continued,
'brought me offerings from a people
pressed with poverty.' Then peeing me
still on my knees, he offered me his hand
to raise me. 'I had thought,' he contin
ued, that the offerings would have de
creased ; but it was not so. We live on
charity' (and here he smiled sadly), 'for
all we had has been taken from us. Oh
these persecutions,' he cried with a loud
voice. 'They purify us even when the
leaven is pure and immaculate.
"I seem to see him now," said the
canon. "His head looked like a relief in a
blue skv. The sun was setting, and he
looked up to the Bkv as if seeking an
inspiration there. 'I have heard,' he
then said, 'that, notwithstanding the
general state of anguish in , Ireland, the
churches aro full of people. May the
Lord be praised and blessed, and may
my pravers bring peace on the people !
Lord, hear our prayers and judge us !'
He then blessed us, and the audi
ence was finished. I have never seen so
much power united to so much sim
plicity. At 4 o'clock the pope resumes
his official audiences in the Vatican. At
7 o'clock he only takes a little rest, but
at 8 o'clock he returns to work in his
private rooms, where he remains until
10 o'clock, when he . retires for the
night."
As to Clipped Roadsters.
Chicago Times.
"Horses Clipped Here" is a sign dis
plaved at numerous livery stables.
"We have clipped 150 horses this
year," said a horseman yesterday. "A
long-coated horse can't get fat. When
clipped the horses eat less, but gain
tJesh rapidly. Drive a bursa ' with a
long coat and he is soon covered with
perspiration. Then, if the weather is
cold, the perspiration freezes about the
hair, forming tinv icicles. Liverv

Hence tuey taKe cola ana are

horse you could stand a block away
from and count the ribs of two weeks
ago. He was clipped, and now you
may see how sleek and fat he is. Be
fore the clipping he ate fifteen quarts
of oats and a quantity o hay daily.
Now we feed him the same quantity of
oats, but he does not eat it all, and hay
he scarcely touches. Then he was a
light chestnut. Now he is of a pretty
mouse color. in at bay horse was
clipped iu October. His hair is grow
ing long and thick and in January or
February he will need the shears again.
Nearly all horsemen are in favor of
clipping. The best veterinary surgeons
in the country say it is greatly bene
ficial, cs
"We charge $4 for clipping a horse.
At some other places tho work is done
for $3 and $3.50. Take a long-coated
horse valued at $100 and by clipping
him you will in many instances enhance
his value 23 per cent."
A 51 Intake in Pie Crnt.
Detroit Free Press "Household.")
Let me tell yon, dear friends, the
toughest thing we ever had to t at wns
the first pie I made. It was an apple
pie. I prepared the crust ; put it in
the dish, put in the apples and sugar,
put on the top crust, set it in the oven
and gave it ten minutes to bake before
looking at it. At the expirat on of
that time I looked in and what a sight
presented itself to my astonished gaze
The pie was fully one foot thick. 1
have laughed many a time over that
pie. 1 had mixed the crust with soda
and cream tartar without one bit of
shortening. Such speeches as were
ma le over that pie, and such fun a we
had ! It seemed to me that between the
fun and the chewing of that pie crust it
would be the death of us.

PIANO-FORTE MUSIC
Its History and Development..' T.ie
Piano-forte'. Predecessor.
. f London Tim.
Mr. Ernst Paner, principal professor
of the piano-forte at the Royal College
of Music, on Thursday afternoon de
livere 1 be fore a large audience at the
Royal institution, Albemarle street, the
fiitt of a course of ix foctures on VI o
History an I I'ew!o;meut of tho Mus"o
for the l'iano-'ortG aud its Prede
c ssori, the Clavecin. Harsichoid,"
etc, with musical illustrations
on these instruments. Ho re
marked on the great numler of
excellent composers who have confided
coma of their finest ideas to the key
board,. so that at first sight it seemed
almost a hopeless task to evolve any
thing like order from the extraordinary
mass of names. Rut on studjing the
matter more closely a clas.siiication
evolves itself roadily enough, o specially
as the lecturer's desire was to bring the
masters in music before the audience
not so mnchtht orctically as practically,
i. e. by playin the pieces chosen for
illustration, rather than by oral de
scription. He then gave, as was indispensable,
tho shortest possible sketch of tl:e
keyed instruments in use before the
piano-forte. The clavictherinm was in
troduced about the year 1300 by the
Italians; it was a kind of oblong lyre,
with catgut strings arranged in the
form of an upright triangle. Ivt-ys
were used to raise the hard leatiier
plectra -which twanged the strings.
This was the only keyed instrument in
which catgut or vio'in strings were em
ployed." All tho later one i, beginning
with the clavichord. Lad wire strings.
The clavichord, whose wires were set
in motion bv pressure on the
ke.vbo.trd. ha I but a feeble tone;
still, under au artistic hand it
vielded excellent mii-ic, being favor
able to staccato passagi s, und giv'ng
great prominence to the melody, it
was the favorite instrument of Sebastian
Jiach. Tho virginal had brass wires,
and the sound wai produced by a p'ece
of raven's or crow's quill. The vir
ginal hr.d a compass of only four
octaves, but its touch was extremely
sensitive. This instrument was C;ueen
Elizabeth's favorite, bit it wt.s not
ninitd, as was thoight by some, in
honor of the virgin queen, for it was in
use under hor roval father and sister.
It was most likelv ttvied the virginal
from its common use by the nuns in
their hymns to tlie irglu.
The spinet, or iustriunento di penna,
resembled in shape a- harp la"d horizon
tally. C'laveciu and clavier were the
respective Fre::c'i and (Jerman names
of the harpsichord, ihe ltanans used
the clavicytherinm an I spurt, tlie
Knglish the virginals and harp ichord,
the French the spinett, and the er
mans the clavichord and harpsichord.
The, great characterise- of the piano
forte was that bv introducing the h tin
nier to strike the vire a hr avit r tou;-h
produces a louder, a gentler touch a
softer tone, the eby giving the per
former, as imp I ed in the ins rumetit's
name, the power of playing at w 11
piano or forte. '
The character t f the muic of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
was especially religions. With hardly
an except. on all composers were organ
ists, the organ having already reached
a h:gh degree of mechanical perfection.
15ut tho want of musical instruments
for the chamber, especially for th. fair
sex, was more and more felr, aud the
demand created tie simplv. there
was, however, a great lack of variety
and pleasant express. on in the earliest
clavecin music.

No receat phenomena has more puz
zled astronomers than the remarkable
appearance of the attnospnere as ob
served after sunset and before su.irise
during the last five months. Tlics
brilliant glows have been seen iu all
parts of tho habitable world. Fhey wer
iirst noticed on the 2Sth of Aujn-.t, and
they miy still bj seen, both morn i g
and evening, when t:ie st;tte of the at

in fact, that on any clear dav the mat
ter by which the appearance is pro
duced rnay be sieii aro.ind thj sun, ex
tending to a distance ot twenty or
thirty degrees. Tho phenomena have
been nscriled :
1. To watery vapor in tho atmos
phere. 2. To meteoric maitdr through
which the ea th has been snpOied to
be passing ; and
3. To the volcanic eruptions of Java
aud Alaska.
The first conjecture has been dis
proved bv tin spectroscope. The s. c
on 1 may be said to bo rendered ex
tremely improbable by the long con
tinuance of the glows. Ihe earth
crosses tho m:it?oric streams of August
and November in a few da3s at most.
but the present phenomena have al
readv lasted m re than five months,
The volcanic hypothesis is received with
most favor, and we must either accept
it or a unit th t the true explanation re
mains to b3 discovered. In the last
number of The Sidereal Messenger, I
have briefly stated some objections to
this theorv, us follows: No similar
results at least to any great extent-
had been Known to follow volcanic
eruptions. If the matter started from
Java on the 20th of August, its rata of
motion through the atmosphere till its
appearance in Urazil was 10 J miles an
hour. Or, if we assume that tlie ap
pearance in South America was derived
from the Alaska outburst, we have the
additional improbability that results of
a character before unknown follow
volcanic eruptions in opposite hemis
pheres at nearly the same time. Again,
what force could have maintained this
volcanic matter at so great an elevation
during a period of several months ?"'
In short, no explanation yet offered
is free from serious diilieulties.

JUDGE XELLETS VIEWS.
The Hon. William D. Kelley, of Phila
delphia, has long been known for his fear
less advocacy of the right, and his uncom
promising opposition to the wrong. Since
18G0 he has been a member of the House
of Representatives of the United States.
He has always been known as a man of
positive counsels; a powerful speaker: an
earnest debator; an able thinker, and an
unwearying worker.
Judge Kelley has been so long and so
prominently before the American people,
lhat his sentiments on any important sub
ject are valued, even by those who do not
agree politically with him. He is emphat
ically a man of the people. Elevated to
tho Judgeship many years ago, he proved
to bo a man of such unswerving integrity,
suci earnestness of purpose, and such
depth of conscientious conviction, that he
was for a long term of years retained on
the judicial bench; and on his desiring to
retire to the comparative seclusion, of an
extensive law practice, was told by the
people that ho must serve them in Con
gress. For twenty-three consecutive years
his Congressional service has been ren
dered with singular fidelity and purity.
His utterances are well known to come
from his inmost heart, and his opinions
to be the result of the most mature delib
eration. The judgment of such a man
carries with it Immense weight, and his
views, whether on public affairs or private
interests, are entitled to the respect and
esteem of all thoughtful persons.
Judge Kelleys power of resistance to
obstacles which would have put an ordi
nary man In his grave, has long been tlie
subject of comment, not only among his
friends, but the public generally. Such
was his physical condition ten years ago
that it was feared tho next Congressional
session would be his last.

A PROSPEROUS SANK.
THE iPACIFIC BANK, corner of Pine
and Sansome Streets, San Francisco, Col.,
before any other commercial bank In the
city, deserves this title. Founded in 1SG3, it
has held on the even tenor of its waj, under
the conservative business head which has
guided it by safe, legitimate and cnterpris
ing methods to a uniformly increasing suc
cess. This past year has been the most
prosperous of its prosperous existence, and
has placed the bank still more to the fore
amongst the best of the city. Its manage
ment and stockholders are to be congratu
lated on its success, and the business com
munity on the existence of a bank combin
ing ample resources, the best business ad
vontages and absolute security.

We had a friend say to us a few days
ago: "I never do anything for a cold; just
wear it off." That is exceedingly danger
ous; one might do that nineteen times and
the twentieth time the cold would settle
on the lungs and lead to consumption, and
thus cut one's life short many years. Is It
not better and more sensible to go to your
druggist and get a bottle of Ammen's
Cough Syrup than run anv risk at all.

Many wonder why the brute creation
excel mankind as a rule when it comes to
a question of health. Investigation quickly
ascertains the cause. It is because the
brute naturally obeys every law of health,
while mankind is constantly degenerating
owing to excesses of our ancestors and
our own individual Imprudence. Sudden
exposure to extreme climatic influences,
gluttony, improper food, alcoholic stimu
lants, over exertion of mind and body,
worriment, anxiety, care, etc., all have a
marked influence on the human system.
Be cured by using Brown's Iron Bitters.
