???AIi ODE.
-o
BY TATJL E. UAYSE OF SOU TU CAilOITXA.
I.
Hark ! hark ! down tbe century's long reach?
ing slope,
To those transports of triumph-those raptures
of hope I
The voices of Maia and of Mountain combined,
Ia glad resonance borne on the wings of the
wind ;
The bass of the drum and -the trumpet that
thrills
Through the multiplied echoes of jubilant
bills!
And mark ! how thc years, melting upward
like mist,
Which the breath of some splendid enchant?
ment bas kissed.
Reveal on the ocean, reveal on the shore,
The proud pageant of conquest that grace
tb eui of yore.
Chorus
Where blended forever in love as in
fame
See ! the standard which stole from the
starlight its Came,
And type of all chivalry, glory, ro?
mance,
The fair lilies, the luminous lilies of
France !
II.
Oh '. stubborn the strife, ere the conflict was
won !
And the wild, whirling war-wrack half stifled
the sun ;
The tbucders of cannon that boomed on the
lea
But re-echoed far thunders pealed up from
the sea
Where guarding his sea lists-a knight on
the waves
Bold DeGrasse kept at bay the bluff bulldogs
of Graves
The day turned to darkness, thc night chang?
ed to fire,
Still more fierce waxed the combat, more
deadly the ire
Undimmed by the gloom, in majestic advance,
Ah! behold where they ride, o'er the red
battletide
Chorus
Those banners united in love as in fame
The brave standard which drew from the j
starbeams their flame,
And type of all chivalry, glory, romance, j
The fair lilies, the luminous lilies of
France !
III
Ne respite ! No pause ! By the York's tor?
tured flood
The gray lion of England is writhing in
blood !
Cornwallis may chafe, and coarse Tarleton
aver
As he sharpens his broadsword and buckles
his spur
"This blade, which so oft has reaped rebels
like grain,
Shall DOW harvest, for death, the rude yeo?
man again."
Vain boast ! for ere sun set he's flying in fear,
With the rebels he scouted close, close in the
rear !
The French on his flank hurled such volleys
of shot
That e'en Gloucester's redoubt must be grow?
ing too hot.
Chorus- *
Thus wedded in love as united in fame,
Lo! the standard that stole from the
starlight its flame
And type of al: chivalry, glory, romance,
The lair lilies, the luminous lilies of
France !
IV
O ! morning superb ! when the siege reached
its close !
See! the sundawn outulooni like the alche?
mist's rose!
The last wreaths of smoke from dim trenches j
u pen ried
Are transformed to a glory that smiles on the j
world.
Jov ! Joy ! Save the wan, wasted front of the j
foe,
With his batllefiags furled and his arms trail?
ing low.
Respect for the brave ! Ingrim silence they
yield,
And in silence they pass with bowed heads
from the field.
Then triumph transcendent ! So Titan of
tone
That some vowed it must startle King George
on his throne !
Chorus
(j ! wedded in love, as united in fame,
See! thc standard" that stoic from the
starlight its fi>me
And type of all chivalry, glory, romance.
The fair lilies, the luminous lilies of
France !
V
When Peace to her own timed the pulse of
the land,
And the war weapon sunk from the war j
wearied hand,
Young Freedom, unborne to thc heighth o.
the goal
She bad yearned for so long with deep travail
of soul
A song of her future raised, thrilling and
clear,
Till the woods leaned to harken, the hill
slopes to hear !
Yet fraught with all magical grandeurs that
gleam,
On the hero's high hope, or the patriot's
dream,
What future, tho' bright, in cold shadow shall
cast
The stern beautvthat haloes the brow of the
Past ?
Chorus
O ! wedded in love, as united in fame !
See! the standard tiiat stole from the
starlight its flame.
And type of all chivalry, glory, romance,
The fair lilies, the luminous lilies of
France !
Cotton.
In 1770, there were shipped to Liver?
pool three bales of cotton from New
York ; four bales from Virginia and
Maryland, anti three from North Caro?
lina. lu 1784, the year after the treaty
which closed the Revolutionary war and
secured the recognition of American
Independence by Great Britain, a ves?
sel that carried eight bales of cotton
from thc United States to Liverpool was
seized in that port on tbe ground that
so large a quantity of cotton in a single
cargo could not be the produce of the
Un it cu ?tates so humble were thc be?
ginnings of this now extended culture.

Y HE SOUTH CAROLINA BOYS EXPERIEXC
ROUGH 'PASSAGE, JiUT RECEIVE Ii
C0MIILIMEXT5.
[From Special Correspondence News ACouii
YORKTOWN, October 18.-The tr
bearing the South Carolina troops a:
ved at Portsmouth at 9 30 this caora1
after a terrible fatiguing night, nea
! tho whole of which was spent in eran
j ed up seats, or standing io tue aisles
thc oars. Complaints of the bad trc
menl received by both thc military a
the civic delegation are general, and
can be said without exaggeration ti
the management of the trip from W
raingtoa to Portsmouth was as a faili
a signal success. As there seemed
strong inclination to blame the Co
missiouer, I saw that gentleman, a
in explanation he says the Wilmingt
and Weldon Railroad Company fail
to come up to the terms of their contrai
They agreed to furnish six first-cla
passenger coaches for the military ai
one for the civic delegation capable
holding fifty persons each, and Maj
Hamilton, finding that the number
ladies who intended to go was lars
secured another coach which was ot
side of the contract. When thc tra
started from Columbia it was two ca
short, these the railroad officials pr
mised to put on at Sumter and W;
mington. They failed to get a car
Sumter, and on arriving at Wilmingt(
they hustled the whole crowd, civic at
military, into small third-class car
some of which were divided of? for coo'
ing apartments for train hands. The:
would seat only about thirty five mei
aud consequently such cars as did ho
fifty men were overcrowded, and (1
men were compelled, many of them
stand daring the entire night, while E
one got room enough to sleep. Anotl
er very serious grievance was the wai
of water and light The majority ?
the cars were without a ray of ligh
and not a drop of water could be ol
tained from the time of leaving Wi
mington until reaching the steamer ?
Portsmouth.
The steamer B. S. Ford was boarde
at 9.30, and from that time until ti?
arri val here things were much mot
comfortable. The troops from Greer
ville and Abbeville, who had to leav
their homes on Saturday last, really su;
fe red considerably from hunger. Th
provisions which they brought soure
on their hands and it was absolute!
impossible to get anything to eat o
their way. It was therefore extremel;
trying to these men to be refused tb
privilege of paying for something to ca
on the boat, the luxury nf entering iii
eating saloon being entirely rcs?rvei
for thc civic delegation.
The trip up Hampton Roads and int
the York River was exceedingly plea
saut and was without special incident
As the steamer came in sight of th
town the view was- striking. Th
American and French naval vessels
bright with bunting, were drawn up op
positethe point upon -sr.h-ieb the monti
mental ceremonies were at the time be
ing conducted and from time to tim<
poured broadside after broadside in re?
sponse to thc saline of artillery on I bi
hillsides. The steamer passing closely
to these vessels was greeted with cheers,
and came into the dock playing Dixie.
A landing was speedily effected and
the battalion linc was formed by Col.
Thompson on the main road opposite thc
pier, it was intensely hot, and taking
warning from the fate of the New Jer?
sey troops, who fell like sheep along thc
linc of march a day or two ago, orders
were extended to lay aside the heavy
knapsacks so that the march might be
as endurable as possible. ?t was well
this order was issued, rf he. march was
a terrible one, two long country, revo?
lutionary miles, over a road that is
without exaggeration ankle deep in the
finest dust I have ever seen.
When the men reached camp they
were as black as negroes and well-nigh
exhausted. One mau only succumbed,
and had to be taken to camp in a wagon.
He was not seriously hurt, however, and
was a member of one of the Greeville
companies.
Thc detail of men sent on a week ago
under the command of Lieut. Lee, of
Sumter, had done cverthing in their
power in the arrangement of the South
Carolina encampment. Twenty-two
large tents for the mea, with one tent
for the Colonel's headquarters, had
been erected and supplied with an
abundance of straw. The tents are
arranged eleven in a row, with a street
between them. Each company has
two lents.
The South Carolina encampment is
pitched just North of ?he Fifth Mary?
land Regiment, who have already
shown our men many courtesies. It
was about 3 o'clock when the troops got
iuto camp and about 5 o'clock before j
they could ?et anything to cac. Mr. ]
T. ri. Pollock, of Columbia, who is
the caterer for our battalion, had an
abundance of bacon and rice and bar?
becued beef and potatoes cooked, but
no tables nor cveu boards for the men
to eat on had been erected in consequence

THE EIC DA 1' AT Y0*KT0WN\
YOKTOWX, October 10-A heavy
shower last night lowered the tempera?
ture nearly twenty degrees and partial?
ly laid tbe dust, which had become a
serious obstacle to comfort. This morn?
ing opened fair and cool, and was ush?
ered in by thunderings from the French
and American vessels in York River
and from the batteries of artillery at the
encampment. Being thc chief day of the
celebration, the programme has been
elaborate and extensive, and the crowd
in attendance, exclusive of the military,
has been largely increased.
At 10 o'clock the French and Ger?
man guests were received on board the
Excelsior and thence were driven in
carriages to Lafayette Hall, where j
President Arthur and Cabinet, with a
number of Senators, heida reception for
about half an hour. The President,
leaning on the arm of Secretary Blaine,
shook hands with the distinguished vi?
sitors from across the sea and after?
wards received a number of prominent
guests from the several States. Among
these were Governor Hagood, Mrs.
Stonewall Jockson and daughter, (the
latter being with Representative Dar?
gan, of Sumter,) Congressman Richard?
son, and one of the governor's aides.
The President stood at the north end of
thc hall during the reception immedia?
tely under two large portraits of Wash?
ington aud Garfield bearing respective?
ly the dates 1781 and 1881. After the
reception the President walked out of
the hail arm-in arm with Mr. Blaine
and was followed by the French and
German guests, Cabinet officers, mem?
bers of the Senate and Gen. Hancock
and staff and Gen. Sherman and staff.
The party proceeded across thc plat?
form to the stand erected for the exer?
cises of the day. As the President
made his appearance there was a faint
cheer, and two men hallooed ''Hurrah
for Sherman" when that officer passed.
When Gen. Hancock reached the stand
however, three times three cheers were
given with notable enthusiasm, and
when the General recognized the courte?
sy by raising his hat, thc applause be?
came deafening.
Senator Johnson, of Virginia, the
Chairman of thc Centennial commission,
called the meeting to order, and Bishop
Harris of New York, opened the pro?
ceedings with prayer, during which he
invoked the special blessing of the Ai
rnightv God on Victoria and the Re
public of France. After the singing of
Poindexter's Centennial hymn by a
chorus cf voices, accompanied by the
Marine Band, President Arthur came
to the front and delivered au address,
which in point of brevity was a model.
Ile occupied only about five minutes,
delivering what he had to say from
memory. -He had not learned it well,
however, for he stumbled when he had
gotten through but a few iinos, and had
to start over and begin afresh to catch
the thread. He tripped np three times
and had to repeat over a sentence or
two to get going again. What he said,
however, was to the point aud was re?
ceived with generous applause. His al?
lusion to the French and German guests
beside him were especially applauded,
and were received by the recipients cf
the compliment with low bows and
broad smiles. Mons. Max Outrey one
of the French dignitaries, arose to re
spoud to the President. He prefaced
his remarks, which he read in English,
from manuscript, with a bow, which
brought his head in close proximity to
thc table in front of him. Ile is a dark
haired little man, strikingly ugly, but
surprisingly graceful He spoke pretty
fair Fnglish, but his voice being weak
he was not heard, save by those imme?
diately around him. He was received
enthuastically, and at the close of his
remarks was cheered vociferously.
Count Rochambeau, a descendant of
the revolutionary naval oinccr, followed
Mons. Outrey., delivering his remarks
in French in a quick jcrkey style, as if
his sole object was to get . through with
it. His allusions to the kindly relations
which had existed between France and
America for one hundred years, and
his hope that thc children of those pres?
ent would, with the same spirit, cele?
brate this day one hundred years hence,
was received with great cheering.
Co!. Von Steuben, the oldest living
descendant cf the revolutionary Von
Steuben, who was present with seven j -?
Dther descendants, responded as 'he re?
presentative of 'he German Empire.
He spoke in Germ?^, and alluded kind?
ly io tue progress and prosperity attain?
ed by America during the century, ex?
pressing the hope that thc friendly
relations always existing between the
United States and Germany would
aever be interfered with.
ne was followed by James Barron
Hope, of Virginia who read his Centen?
nial poem with fine effect.
The oration by thc Hon. R. C. Win?
throp, of Massachusetts, which follow?
ed consumed the rest of the day, occu?
pying two hours in its delivery. The
intendance at the staud, which numbcr
:d fully ten thousand when he started,
Jwindled down to about two thousand
tvhen he stopped, and the remaining
Programme was cut to save time.
The singing of the odes and anthem
?vas uot extraordinarily tine, the chorus
lumbering only fifty or sixty voices, in
.lace of thc three hundred advertised.
It is a striking fact that tho majority of
he people pay no attention to the cerc
lionies. although they are supposed to
...e the attraction. Out of the twelve
h cusa nd soldiers in Yorktown to-day
tot ouo hundred, outside of thc regular
trmy o?Tiecrs, were present during the j ti
jeretnonics, and large numbers or* civic j o
guests from al; ?.he- States could bo seo:: j n

When it is considered that the Cl
Magistrate of the United States and
representatives from two of thc greal
European countries were invited

enough to-make an American blush.
At thc South Carolina encampm
to-day everthing passed off with
special incident. The men slept
night and no sick arc reported. T
morning they had stewed oysters, ho
iny, bacon and beef with coffee. ?
arrangements for netting the men th
meals have been much improved sit
yesterday. A detail of four men Fri

The men still have to hold their pla
in their hands, and will probably ha
to continue to do so as there seems
chance of getting any lumber to cc
struct tables.
Thc officers of thc battalion and t
officers of the companies were invited

Lieut. Vogdes, of thc 5th Artillcr
who is well known in Charleston, call

Lieut. Yogdes is now stationed. Th
were received warmly and extend
earnest invitations to our troops to cor
over to their headquarters and ma!
themselves at home.
The Catham Artillery is thc on
Georgia company present, and thc on
one which will be here. They arc 1
cated next to the South Carolina troo
to the east, and are nicely fixed. Go
ernor Colquitt and aides have arrive
and some of his staff will occupy ten

hundred guns from two brass pied
captured from Cornwallis one hundn
years ago to-day, and preseuted

Thc guns have been in the possessic
of thc Chathams for ninety years, arc
are the centre of attraction.
A DItESS PARADE.
The South Carolina troops had a fu
dress parade at 5 o'clock this aftcmoc
on the parade ground near the encamj
ment. They were reviewed by Co
Thompson and Adjutant-General Man
gauit, and presented a splendid appeal
ance. It is in no boasting spirit th;
it is said that thc South Carolina troof
have attracted more notice and receive
more compliments for their appearanc
and soldierly bearing than any regimec
on the ground.
Thc troops have suffered greatly fror
thieves, and Gen. Hancock has issue
a special order for street guard duty t

Last night one cf the 13th Regimen
of New York caught a man in his tin
trying to steal bis overcoat and she

SALUTES TO THE BKITTSII FLAG.
Of thc picturesque scenes of this da
the most beautiful and impressive wer
witnessed on the water. York Hiver
stirred into foaming swells by a fros!
md bracing breeze, looked bright am
beautiful in blue waves and tnowyeaps
Outlined against the water were th?
:rim black hulls and rigging of the mem
Dt-war, the white shapes of the rive;
?teamers, and thc bright sails and flag:
Df numberless small craft. Stcau
aunches aud tugs, full of naval ofiicer;
ind sailors, flashed across thc sparkling
A-aves from vessel to vessel. It was au
miniated and vivid scene, fascinating
:n every detail.
When Secretary Blaine read thc order
Df the President that in token of that
unity and friendship long cxis?ng be
:wcen the Uuited States and Great
Britain, and as an appreciation of thc
vindly interest of her Majesty, Queen
Victoria, in this country, the flag of
j?reat Britain be saluted by the military
md naval forces of the Union present,
t was thought to be a compliment as
graceful as ever decorated international
:ourtesies, and met with a cheer from
he immense audience which would have
uuch consoled George III if his Majes?
ty bad lived one hundred years later.
Sro doubt the idea was Blaine's. Oe
.cad the order as if it were.
After thc saint* ^ {'nc armv to j?~
LTlitlsii ting, the naval demonstrations
ook place. At o'clock a signal was
jiven and the Union Jack floated to the
>eak of the Trenton by the side of the
Jutted States flag. At that moment
he masts of thc seven men-of-war and
he half-dozen transports were manned
vith sailors, and the Trenton fired gun
fter gun, enveloping herself in a driit
ng fog of smoke. Then there was a I
?ause. A moment after a shot from
he Magicienne attracted attention to
icr, and it was seen that her masts were
Iso manned and that she seconded with
icr guns thc salute made by the Tren
ou. When the smoke had cleared
way, the tri-color of France rose on
he Trenton, and her guns roared out a
ecogoitiou of thc unexpected courtesy
f France. Thinking to-day of one
und red years ago, it seemed as grand
demonstration of good-will between
ld cuemics as the world bas ever secD.
OTU KU INCIDENTS
Among thc picturesque incidents of
lie celebration was the illumination of
il the United States vessels with cobr
d lamps suspended from thc masts and j
igging. Fach ship was decked with j
offs of red, white and blue lights, form- j
lg a complete outline of the shape of j
he craft. In thc dark night not a spar ,
r rope could be seen-only the brilliant
oints of light stood out against thc j
lack background, making thc phantom |
hapes of shins riding on the waters. J

Another anti a different piece of pic- i
?jrcsuucricss was the spectacle of a !
{assachusetts regiment en its retnru ;

I Yorktown. Thc spruce white coats of
! the soldiers were layered with dry dust.
! and this evening they, with one accord,
; doffed and shook them vigorous!v.
j bach a spectacle and thc unanimous
' foging of dress coats was doubtless
never seen.
The air during thc whole of the after?
noon was filled with echoes of patriotic
strains from every quarter, the Marseil?
laise, Star Spangled Banner and Hail
Columbia being rendered from many j
fine bands. Thc American Band of I
Providence gave a magnificent concert I
in thc steamer Excelsior, on which were j
the Centennial Commission headquor- i
tors. The fire-works arranged for to- j
night were in a great measure omitted.

TJETJ5 I RESIDENTS* ADDRESS.
Thc following is President Arthur's
speech :
Upon this soil, one hundred years
ago, our forefathers brought to success?
ful issue their heroic struggle for inde?
pendence. Here and theo was estab?
lished, and is, we trust, made secure
upon this Continent for ages yet io
come, that principle of government
which is the very fibre of our political
system, the sovereignty of the people.
The resentments which attended and
for a time survived the clash of arms
have long since ceased to animate our
hearts. It is with no feeling of enthu?
siasm over a defeated foe that to day we
summon up thc remembrance of those
events which have made holy ground j
wherever we tread. Surely no such j
unworthy sentiment could find harbor j
in our hearts so profoundly thrilled with j
the expression of sorrow aud sympathy j
which our national bereavement has j
evolved from the people of England and j
their august sovereign, but it is alto- j
gelber fitting that we should gather |
herc to refresh ourselves with the con- j
templation of the unfaltering patriotism, j
sturdy, zeal and sublime faith which
achieved the results we now commemo- ?
rate. For I say that if we learn aught j
of thc lesson of the hour we shall be
incited to transmit to the generations
which shall follow us the precious le?
gacy which our fathers left to us-love
of liberty protected by law.
Of that historic scene which we here
celebrate no feature is more prominent j
and none more touching than the par- j
ticipation of our gallant allies from !
across the sea. It was their presence
which gave fresh and vigorous impulse j
to the hopes of our countrymen, when j
well-nigh disheartened by a long series
of disasters. It was their noble and j
generous aid extended in the darkest [
period of the struggle which sped the j
coming of our triumph and made the j
capitulation of Yorktown possible a cen- j
tury ago. To their descendants and j
representatives who are here present as J
honored guests it is my glad duty to j
offer a cordial welcome.
You (turning to the guests) have the j
right to share with us the associations |
which cluster about the day when your j
fathers fought side by side with our j
fathers in the cause which was here !
crowned with success, and none of the
memories awakend by this anniversary j
is more grateful to us all than the rc-1
flection that the national friendships j
here so cemented have outlived thc
mutations of a changeful century.
God grant, my countymen, that they
may ever remain unshaken, and that j
ever henceforth with ourselves and j
wich all the nations of the earth we may j
be at peace.
The President was not interrupted
daring the delivery of his address, but j
there was (Treat enthusiosm at its close
"The Star of Bethlehem."
In reply to a correspondent who j
asked to be told what is the large bril- ?
i hi nt star now visible near the seven j,
stars and which some persons call the i
'.Star of Bethlehem," the New York ?
Syn says:
Thc brilliant twinkler near thc P?ci- | ;
ades, or Seven Stars, is the planet !,
Jupiter. Thc star that is sometimes ! (
called thc Star of Bethlehem is not now j,
visible, although, according to the cal- ',
culations of some astronomers, another |.
appearance of it is due, and it may blaze j (
out at anv* moment. This star was last j j
seen in ?572, in thc time of Tycho j (
Brahe. It shone out suddenly where j,
no star was visible before, and was so j j
bright that it could bc seen at noonday. ;
It gradually faded, assuming various j
hues as it ?id so, until it disappeared, i *
This wonderf';! s'ar is believed to bave , 1
been seen in the years 1- and 94o. j ?
Its apparent period exten?e.; backward j
would indicate an appearance of this j j
star about the time of the birth of j s
Christ ; hence its name. Star of Bcthle- j <
hem. If you wish to know where to j,
watch for it. look some forty degrees to j j
the northwest of Jupiter, and you will j (

A Judge's Charge Against j j
"Cornering." 1
At Chicago Wednesday Judge -[Tame- j1
sou charged the grand jury of thc cri- ? *
minai Court very plainly about * 'corn- j1
crs" in trade, which he characterized as j!
"a process of driving unsuspected deal- [ 1
crs in grain, stock and the like into a i
corral and relieving them of their pur- ; <
srts." Continuing, Judge Jameson
said : "However powerful thc combina- ? (
tion to defy the laws, and however diili- 1
cult to detect and punish the criinos, we j 3
rank ourselves with the criminal if we s
fail to bring thc terrors of the law to t
bear upon him. For one. 1 refr.se not i
to-hen E what lilis the ears of all to the j l
discredit "f thc business men and i
methods of this city. Thc crimes in- j rj
dicated arc being committed. it im- c
ports much that the validity of our !
statute and its sufficiency to reach the c
guilty parties should be carly tested." ,i
BSLV'GQ?. Wire ?'ence.
These fences are, so far as we sec
and learn, gair.iug in popularity. The
objection to them is first raised, of their
being liable to injure cattle, is practi*
cally without foundation. The spikes
or barbs are too short to do any rca!
bann. At the worst they could do
nothing more than scratch an animal.
Those that we hare seen struck us as
bei?g made of rather light wire ; but'
we suppose the manufacturers have
studied out deliberately this very es?
sential point. This fence possesses
other advantages beside merely turning
horses and cattle. It will do the same
for dogs and biped trespassers, which'
will prove very serviceable. The price
we should think is less than the com?
mon post and rail-fence, and will last!
equally as long. About wire fences of
every kiud one of the principal reasons*
of their requiring renewal much oftener
than otherwise would bc the case is the
neglect to repair them. There are
screws by which the wires are intended
to be tightened ; but they being seldom
used the wire stretches and bends, al?
lowing epeoings large enough for a goat'
to get through. A wire fence, by be-"
ing stretched whenever needed-which'
may be once in two or three years
would last at least twice as loog as they
commonly do. This is a valuable hint,
and we hope it will be taken.-Ger

How to Make a Poultice.
Dr. Brunt?n, in 'Brain,' the new
London periodical, gives the following'
useful hints on this subject: The com-"
mon practice of making poultices by
mixing linseed meal with bot water and
applying it directly to the skin is quite
wrong, because if we do not wish to
burn thc patient wc must wait until a
great portion of thc heat bas been lost.
The proper method is to take a flannel
bag, the size of thc poultice required,
to fill this with the.linseed poultice, as'
hot as it can possibly be made, and to
put between this and the skin a second
flannel, so there shall be at least two
thicknesses of flannel between the skin
and the poultice itself. Above the
poultice should be placed more flannel,
or a piece of cotton wool, to prevent it
from getting cold. By this method:*
wc are able to apply the linseed meat*
boiling hot, without burning the pa?
tient, and the heat gradually diffusing
through the flannel affords a grateful
sense of relief, which cannot be ob-"
fained by other means. There are'
few ways in which such marked relief is
given to abdominal pain as by the ap-'
plication of a poultice in this manner.
Long Words.
'.Rob," said Tom. "which is tire'
most dangerous word in all the English
language to pronounce?"'
"Don't know," said Rob, "unless te
is a swearing word "
"Pooh !" said Tom, "it is stumbled,
because you are sure to get a tumble
between the first and the last letter."
"Ha, ha!" said Rob ; "now I've one
for you. I found it on : day in reading
the paper. Which is the longest word .
in ali the English language?.'
"Valetudinarianism," said Tom,
promptly.
"No, sir, it's smiles, because there's
a whole mile between the first and last'
letter."
"Ho, ho !" cried Tom, "that's noth-'
ing ; I know a word that has over three
miles between its beginning and end?
ing !"
"Now, what's that," asked Rob,
faintly.
"Beleaguered," exclaimed Tom, tri?
umphantly.
Paper Barrels.
Beside car wheels and other minor'
articles, barrels are now being made of'
paper They are manufactured of
straw pulp run ioto a mold made into'
the shape of one-half of a barrel cut
vertically. The pulp is reduced to the
thickness of three-eighths of an inch,
being subjected to a powerful hydraulic
pressure, and is then put into a steam
Iryer, the sides trimmed evenly and
thoroughly dried. The ends are also
aiadc of paper, but are protected by
rcood. Thc advantage of these barrels
)ver wooden ones is lightness, cheap?
ness and the prevention of flour sifting
)ut while in transit. They do not cost
nore than one-third thc price of wooden
carrels.
Confederate bonds are worth in Am
:tcrdam ?12.50 for $1,000.^ They
jave been solo recently at ?? in Wall

The rise in Confederate bonds in
England is caused by the effort of
mme of the bondholders to get hold of
[$11,000,000 deposited years ago by
he Confederate government ia the
Dank of England. That gold, of '
:ourse, belongs to our government, and
t has been drawing interest for about
