DEATH IN THE SKY.
Who that looks upward to the sky
In tome transparent rammer night.
When mystic s'art are burninr bright.
When there is nothing wide and nigh
Save what enchants the tight.
Who tha 1-Kk upward to the life ' "
WfcU eternal, and which aeema
Quiecnt aa the fl w of streams,
Uomarred bj bitter death or Istrtfe.
Ethereal as oar dream
Thinks that within the calmy Tast
World-nature rolling overhead
fcuns circle which are cold and dead.
And spheres which biased in agea past
Are meless globes, that shed
So glimmer through the lacentalr.
Yet whirl upon their unseen ways
1 ike ghosts of other skies and days,
Like shadows lingering darkly where
The ancient splendor start!
As radiant earth is but the tomb
Where death awaits behind its bars
- Hearts torn with many wonnds and scars,
Tbe sky Is an aniathomed gloom
A sepulchre of stars.
Harper's for June.
A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
I am a physician, and among my pa
tients nnmoer the wife of a deceased
army officer. The general a wife was a
case of nervous debility. She had, so to
speak, a (renins for nervousness: her
body, like her soul, vibrated at a touch,
like a delicate stringed instrument un
der a skillful master's hand. She was
an excellent wife, and she adored a seo
ond husband, whom she married soon
after the death of the general, whose
title tbe world continued to give her.
She worshipped the last husband, but
unfortunately, the unworthy scamp
much younger than his wife m no way
deserved the self sacrificing tenderness
and the loving solicitude with which she
treated him. Whenever and whenever
an inducement offered he stole away
from an elegant home, and spent
the night as well as hia wife a mon
ey in dissipation.
The wife s sorrow and despair were
boundless, all the more as the frivolous
youth, who had every reason to avoid an
open rupture, knew how to preserve ap
pearances with an inexhaustible store of
indisputable evasions and excuses. He
lied and cheated with the thorough and
untiring attention of a man to whom
fraud and artifice yielded income of
many thousands. Thus she was unable
to get any proof of his iufidelitv. Never
theless, her unerring instinct told her
that her uusband deceived her and was
r 'iLf-i il 1. i iL.i l: l
settled her highly nervous organiza
tion.
Moreover, she put his different state
ments together and discovered little
contradictions deficiencies. Then the
poor woman shed some bitter tears and
sobbed in heart-breaking fashion, and
became so miserable that she was not
ashamed, under the circumstances, to
consult xner, her family physician and
trusted adviser. At first I strove to calm
her in the usual way, by lying.
But, alas! I soon saw these innocent
expedients were not sufficient. So the
general s wife oiten sat ior hours in my
study, crying and wringing her hands
with incessant grief. One day she sat
on the sofa, her head buried in her
hands, groaning and moaning in acrony
of soul. Without design, beyond trying
to soothe her, I smoothed her forehead
several times with my hand, and saw, to
my great surprise, the sobbing woman
become quiet, involuntarily let her
hands fall to her side, draw regular
breaths, and soon fall into a profound
sleep. v--
My astonishment merg;d into joy, for
the poor woman with her grief had be
come a little troublesome. Therefore I
or ered my servant to roll the sofa on
which she lay into the next room. After
a while I awakened her by blowing into
ner iaoe, sua tmu uer mat sue uaa siept
a M Jl . I I JJ I X.
"An. she answered tnat has done a
world of good. I feel, indeed, doctor,
that you are right. Probably I have
been a fool to s aspect my good hus
band." '
She gratefully pressed my hand and
departed, hopefully smiling.
About a month afterward the coupe of
the general's wife stopped again before
my door, and the poor wife sat with
weeping eyes in my study. Renewed
groans, renewed tears. I told her to go
to tbe little room, x made the same
passes lightly over her brow as on the
former occasion, and she slept again in a
moment. Again she awoke in a calmer
state, and hastened to her husband.
She repeated the call quite frequenily.
One day the general's wife came to
me unusually agitated, and confessed
with tears that her husband had not
come home the previous night. My
office hours were nearly over: my wait
iocr room was thronged. I gently led
her into the little room, put hr to sleep
as usual, locked tbe door and went back
to my studies. My servant brought an
urgent dispatch. A Brazilian prince
was dangerously ill; a difficult surgical
operation must be performed, and they
honored me with a request that I should
perform it. The steamship would leave
Bordeaux next morning. To catch the
night train I mast start at once. I ex
cused myself to my patiepta. I quickly
packed all the Necessary instruments and
books, bought a ticket and soon left
Paris far behind. .
Tbe train was late; the steamer was
waiting for us. I was scarcely on deck
before the signal for departure was
sounded and we were moving. I went
at once to my cabin, unpacked my sci
entific works and lost myself in reading.
I thought of ihe great honor fallen to
my share, and alternated between hope
and fear as to the success of the opera
tion. Wearied with the day's excite
ment, I went to sleep and did not awake
till morning. I went on deck. The cap
tain approaohed me.-
"We seem to have come a good way,
captain?"
"Four hundred miles," was his an
swer." "And where do you intend to stop on
the way?"
"Nowhere. We go directly to Bio de
Janeiro. A thirty six days voyage lies
before us." A steamer went much slower
in those days than now.
"Thirtv-six davsl" I cried, mechanic
ally. "No trifle that, captain; a long
time a verv. very long time, indeed.
I looked thouffhtfullv at the play of
the waves. A dark presentiment and
denlv troubled me. ' It seemed to me as
if I had foreotten something.
But what could I have forgotten?
What what had slipped my mind?
Suddenly I groaned aloud. Like light-nine-it
had flashed through my mind.
The general's wifel I had forgotten the
ffAnAral's wife the general 8 wife in a
nomnleta catalepsy the general's wife
locked in the little room which my peo
ple never entered, the key of which I
had carried with me. a
"Captain," I cried, lifting my hands
imploringly, "I must instantly senda
telegram."
The captain took two swift steps side
wise and fixed his eyes on me in a singu
lar way. He evidently believed that I
had suddenly goai crazy.
"I must I must telegraph, captain,
I insisted. I have forgotten the gen
eral's wife, who is asleep. Do you hear,
captain? She is asleep."
"In the devil s name, what do you
mean?" cried the captain, impatiently.
VII you left her asleep she must have
wakened by this time." He turned his
back, laughing hoarsely, and ordered
two sailors not to lose sight of me.
I need not say what a terrible day 1
passed. Sleeping or waking, always saw
the dreadful picture of the poor woman,
sunk in sleep, lying on the sola xrom
which she could never rise.
In what a state I found myself on the
thirty-sixth day it would not be easy for
you to imagine. At last Bio de Janeiro
was in sight. I threw myself into a boat.
sprang ashore, and ran to the telegraph
office. ".Break open door of small room;
wake up general's wife." When
the dissipated husband of the general's
wife discovered that she, too, had been
out all night, ho gave the matter no more
thought than to use the favorable oppor
tunity for another carousal.
"Is madame home yet? he nonona-
lantly asked the porter, as he returned
the second morning.
"No, sir," replied the porter. Tbe
affair did not trouble him, but it began
to appear strange.
The third dy went by and the fourth
came and no sign of the general's wife.
Her husband became uneasy. He sent
to her relatives in ths country. They
had not seen her for years. The young
man s disquietude increased from hour
to hour. The fifth day he informed the
police. Their search was vain. It was
found that she had been to me that day,
but they conld go no further. Hundreds
of patients daily went in and out of my
office, in at one door and out another,
which opened directly on the stairs.
My people oould not remember about
her, the police could not think of search
in a mv rooms, neither did it occu r to
my servant to force open the small room
since I frequently looked it when I
wanted to guard some valuable objeot of
interesting study. So the disappearance
of tbe general s wife remained an un
solvable riddle.
One believes what one wishes. So,
when four days were passed, the husband
was convinced his wife would never re
turn. He said to himself, with a certain
painful satisfaction: "The poor thing
has killed herself. From love of me, no
doubt."
According to the marriage oontract the
wife's wealth now belonged to him. A
skillful lawyer At once arranged every
thing. The young widower inaugurated
his monarchy by making such altera
tions in the stately old house as his some
what loud taste dictated. His wife's
boudoir was changed to a smoking-room.
In place of the dining-room a museum of
weapons appeared. The small blue par
lor served as billiard room. The carriage
in which the general's wife used to ride
afternoon's was sold and replaced by a
yellow English dog cart. She bad
prided herself upon simple, unostenta
tious livery; her widower dressed his
servants in red, gold embroidered uni
form.
One evening my servant was called to
the door by a stout stranger suffering
from dropsy who wantei me to cure him.
Just as he was about to say I had not
been in Paris over a month, a messenger
ran up the steps and handed him a
dispatch. My servant read, turned pale
and cried:
"Quick, quick! Break open the door
of the little room I"
The dropsieal man was so frightened
at the outcry that he fell into a swoon.
Without troubling himself my servant
ran to the study, put his shoulder to the
door of the inner room and burst it
in.
On the sofa lay the general's wife cov
ered with a thick layer of dust. Under
the combined influence of tears, rice
powder and dust, her face, never pretty,
had gained the look of a caricature. She
was an awful sight. My servant was fa
miliar with the mysteries of catalepsy,
so he wasted no time in blowing strong
ly in her face. She was not dead, but,of
oourse. much emaciated. At last -she
opened her eyes and made a motion as if
she would have dried her tears.
"Dear doctor," said she, in a weak
voice, "I feel a little encouraged. I be
lieve I have wronged my husband. He
has really spent the night at the club. I
will hasten to embrace him."
She arose and went to the door. My
servant : was so excited that no word
passed his lips. She passed through the
study. When the dropsical patient.who
had just recovered consciousness, caught
sight ot her he cried in horror: "Is this
the state in which patients come out of
tbe private room? and fled as fast aa he
oould.
The house of the lady was not far from
mine. She hurried home. At the door
she stopped in wonder. Was she awake?
This could not possibly be her plain
house. The vestibule was decorated with
gay frescoes, a confusion of glaring es
outohons and bizarre flowers.
Speechless in amazement; she went up
stairs, intending to pass through the
small blue parlor to her boudoir.
There was neither little blue parlor
nor boudoir. In one was a billiard table;
in the other a collection of pipes.
The general's wife sank into a chair to
collect her confused thoughts.
Suddenly she rose; she could hear
voioes near by. Laughter and singing
met her ear. She hurried to a portiere
quickly and resolutely lifted it. Horri
blel Her husband sat with some ladies
at a nobly-spread table.
The servant, at a glimpse of the gener
al's wife, who seemed to have risen from
her grave, let plate and dish fall. The
women fled with frightful shrieks; while
the supposed widower, who had drunk a
little more than was necessary, flung
himself on his knees, and deathly pale,
stammered:
"It is her spirit. Forgive me."
"Leave the house," cried the general's
wife, "Lackeys, know your mistress,
and chase this unworthy wretch from
the house."
The servants,' who from fear , had kept
aloof, obeyed her command.
As the sorely troubled woman with
great satisfaction saw them execute her
order, she saw my servant, who had fol
lowed her unobserved.
"What has happened?" she asked.
"Madame," my servant replied, "you
have slept for five weeks."
"Ob, fool that I have been," she cried,
with a deep groan. "When one has
slept for so long a period one need never
awake."
Bridging Kiagara.
Work on the foundations of the Can
ada Southern railway's great bridcre over
the Niagara is steadily progressing. The
location is at a point about three hun
dred feet above the present suspension
bride, where tbe chasm is 850 feet from
bluff to bluff. The railway company ex
perienced much difficulty in selecting
plans from those presented, but finally
accepted those of tbe Central Bridge
works of Buffalo. The contract requires
that the bridge be completed by Decem
ber 1, 1883, under the forfeiture of $500
per day for each day's delay after that
date. The design selected is what is
known as the canti-lever bridge, the
Principle of which is that of a trussed
earn, supported at or near its center,
with the arms extending on each side,
and one end anchored or counter
weighted to provide for an equal loading.
It is m practice an entirely new design,
no bridge as yet having been completed
upon this principle. The Firth of Forth
bridge in Scotland, with a clear span of
lbOO feet, is being built upon this plan,
and in this country the Fraser river
bridge, 315 feet clean span, on the
Canadian Pacific, is now being con
structed after the same plan.
The bridge is to be a double track steel
bridge, being built to carry upon each
track at the same time a freight train of
the heaviest kind, extending the entire
length of the bridge, headed by two
"consolidation engines and a side
pressure of thirty pounds per square
foot, which pressure is produced by
wind having a velocity of seventy-five
miles per hour. Under the above loads
the structure is strained to only one-fifth
of its ultimate strength. The total
length of the bridge proper is 895 feet,
divided into two canti-levers of 875 feet
on the Canadian and 395 on the Amen
can side, Hupportea on steei cowers
rising from the water's edge. A fixed
span of 125 feet is suspended from and
connects the river arms of canti levers.
The cl ar span across the river is 500
feet, being the longest double track
truss span ever built. The excavations
are carried down until soua rocx is
reached, v hen blocks of "Biton Col-
guet" twenty feet wide, forty-five feet
long, and ten feet thick, will be put in
These form one single mass that will
withstand a pressure almost equal to the
best Quinoy granite, and will so dis
tribute the load of 1600 tons that comes
upon each pair of steel columns that it
will produce a pressure of but twenty
five pounds per square inch on the
natural formation. Upon these Biton
blooks, four in number, will be built
masonry of the most substantial charac
ter, carried up fifty feet above the sur
faoe of the water. On these the steel
towers rest, rising 130 feet above the
masonry, and upon these will set the
steel superstructures. The material for
this will be subjected to the most rigid
inspection and tests from the ore until it
enters the completed structure, ior
erection at the bridge site temporary
scaffolding, using some 600,000 feet of
timber, will be built on the bluff from
either side out to the edge of the water,
on a level with the top pi tne uiun.
Upon these the shore arms of the canti
levers will be erected, one end resting
on the steel towers and the other upon
masonry on the bluff. The shore ends
will be firmly anchored to this masonary,
so that it will take an uplifting force of
400 tons at each end to displace it. This
constitutes the counter weight to bal
ance the unequal loading on the river
arm referred to above ; as this, under
the most unfavorable conditions can
never equal 200 tons, the provision is
ample. After the structure is completed
from the shore to the towers comes the
difficult portion of the work to span the
400 feet across and 215 feet above a roar
ing river, whose forces no earthly power
can stay,and no temporary structure can
survive a 'moment. Here the skill of
the engineer comes in to baffle nature
and laugh at her powers.
The design of the canti-lever is such
that, after the shore arm is completed
and anchored, as described above, the
river arm may then be built out, one
panel or section at a time, by means of
great traveling derricks, and be self-sustaining
as it progresses. After one panel
of 25 feel is built and hat its bracing ad
justed, ten traveling derricks are moved
forward and another panel erected. Thus
the work progresses, section by the sec
tion, until the ends of the canti-lever are
reached, when there still remains a gap
of 125 feet to close. Into this will be
swung and suspended from the canti
lever arms an ordinary truss bridge,
forming the connecting link and com
pleting the structure. Compensation
for expansion and contraction is provided
for an ingenious arrangement between
the ends of the canti-lever and fixed
span, allowing the ends to move freely
as the temperature changes, but, at the
same time preserving perfect rigidity
against the side pressure from the wind.
There will be no guys for this purpose,
as in the suspension bridge, but tbe
structure will be completed within itself.
Neither will there be any of that wave
motion noticed on a suspension bridge
as a train moves over it. When it U
considered that it took over three years
to build the present suspension bridge,
which is for a single track, and that this
bridge, for a double track, must be fin
ished within iy months from the ex ecu
tion of the oontract, some idea may be
formed of the magnitude of the opera
tion. Albany Journal.

While we were busy getting tha press
ready to work off tbe outside, and wish
ing that, like flther people, we could go
to the picnio to morrow without the har-ra'-slng
consciousness of work n -gloated,
he walked silently in. We kn9w him the
moment we raised oar eyes and saw him
standing there. In (act, we had be n ex
pecting him, he nearly always.God bless
him, comas when we are in just such a
strait and needing him. He always wears
the same strle of clothps coat of one
kind and pant of another he hasn't any
Test; hi- saof s are worn and run down
an t ie heels, and his hat ia battered and
dosty. There are spots of ink about his
shirt, which h ns over his waistband,
and nis new piper collar is the only
fresh, wh.te thing abont him, and it
looks as though he had jast pat it on
with soiled fingers. - He is pale, weak
eyed and prematurely gray haired ; he
looks as though he had never known rag
ular hours, either for sleeping or eating,
and he must have come thousands of
xmiles, and been ooming ever since he
was a boy. His starting point was so
far away and so long ag that he has al
most forgotten where or when it was;
but we have an idea it must hare been
when his mother buttoned his little blue
shirt band around h:s white, boyish
throa1, put on his little straw hat, and
s nt h m, barefooted, to ask for a pluce
to work in a printing tfflj?. Hwprmd
he was when he went home that first n gat
and showed his new brass rule, and tells
mother he has "learned all the bcxes,"
and that he has a "free tickt to the cir
cus next week," and the editor gave him
a big piece of wedding cake, a part of
which he has brought home for the baby,
end if he sets up a column in one day
next week he can go fishing cnSitu daj.
; Y v somewhere about . time was the
commencement of this long journey, an 1
here he is now, perhaps two-thirds on the
way. He asks us "What's tU show f jr
a sit?" Wo give him a case, and by and
by he says he fjels f iiut an I ask) us if
we can't lend him a quirfer ha hain't
had any b-e ikfasS yet. - We know hia
"weakae38,'' and as we need his work we
go down with him aad order some break
fast for him at tha nearest restaurant.
When he comes back he looks happier
and better able to work. In the evening
when he goes to distributing his case, he
recounts the history of his late places of
employment. He knows the circulation
and amount of business of everv paper
in the state, and just why the Dispatch
suspended, and why the Advance sold
out to the Courier. He is well acquainted
with the unknown editor o! the Thun
derer, and has friends on the editorial
force of all the leading journals- of the
country. By and by he whistles low an air
from tbe Italian opera, and in reply to a
question answers with a I -at in quotation.
He stays with us a week, and we grow to
like him more and more every day; he
has read everything, from Shakespeare
and Buskin to Mark Twain and Bill Arp;
he knows more about our laws, national
and state, than the b.st lawyer in the
city; he is well acquainted with the life
of every eminent person of tbe age, and
is a perfect encylopsediaof current events;
but we cannot afford to keep him any
longer, so we pay him off and he again
starts on his long road that leads not
to home, for he has has none; not to the
society of intelligent paople like him
self, for outside of the pritt ng offio he
is unknown; maybe back to night work
on some .city tiai y, or if too old and
worn for that, a rapid descent from one
country newspap r t an.tlur, with
whisky and laudanum aa companions, to
an unmarked gray a by some lonely way
side.
We expect to meet Lien again when we,
too, have finished our journey here and
stand on the other side of the cold river.
We wonder sometimes if he will remem
ber all his long and sorrowful wander
ings here, and if be might not ask us
some pleasant questions which will be
hard to answer truthfully, asy for in
stance: Are not newspaper men too lax in dis
cipline for young boys sent to them as
apprentices, sending them out as print
ers before their trades are half learned.
or business habits established, and with
no idea of the dignity and responsibility
of their avocation?
Are not vagrant habits in manhood
the result of laok of business training in
boyhood
Are not bad habits intensified by the
uncertainty of permanent work and the
certainty of poor pay?
Would it not be better for editors and
publishers, at the meeting of their asso
ciations, to spend less time in amuse

nobling of their profession to its better
