A SONG.
- ' by orlando.
Buoyant and light as the air she breathes,
And innocent as she is free,
While bewitching smiles her sweet lips wreathe
That are soft and red as rubies be;
She bringeth warm sunshine to the heart
That breathes there new joys and life,
And a comfort, too, that will ne'er depart,
But therefrom banish every strife.
Refrain.
Ever cheerful is little Maggie,
Whether she sits or rides or walks,
All the time she rattles away,
Filling with laugh and jest her talks!
She's an antidote'lbrnll life's ills,
A catboiicon ror every woe,
As fall of life as are mountsitf Tills,
As boanding onward tbey singing go ;
While ever from her new joy and life
In a perennial current flow,
That bear off on it all care and strife,
And will, while she remains below !
, Refrain.
O were this earth now bat crowded full
With just such beings as is she,
Then none despondent would be, or dull,
^ But all be happy and full of glee;
While all thefuture would grow still more bright,
And ever be full of trust and hope,
And all her ways sparkle and glow with light,
Where none ever stumble or grope.

A CASE OF COMPETITION.
Not long ago a young Boston grocer went
out into a northern Massachusetts city to
establish a grocery on a large and liberal
scale. He rented a big store, filled it up
with electric lights, put an immense and
glittering coffee-mill in the front window,
filled up his store with new goods, stacked
up in ingeniously constructed pyramids and
the like, and invited patronage with doublecolumn
advertisements in the daily papers.
The trade started in briskly enough, but he
soon discovered that his patrons were somewhat
interested in the prices he sold goods
at, as well as' the imposing surroundings of
his business. There was a rival establishment
very much like his own, with .electric
lights, big coffe-mill, glittering pyramids of
baking powder, boxes, etc., further down
the street, and purchasers were continually
comparing his prices With the rates in the
rival store.
One day a male customer with an open,
confiding face came in and remarked:
"What do you sell the best Haxall flour
for?" "Five dollars and a half a barrel."
"But the other store down the street sells it
* *! II IITI L. TT 11 SAQ1) UAk
lor DCSb nHAail, 19 lb i vu, j-to.
"Well," said the new grocer, "they don't
sell this kind of* flour for 15. Did you notice
how many Xs there were on the barrels
down at the other store?" "There were
three, sir." "Well, I'll fix. you this flour
for $5, and it has four Xs on the head.
Do you see? They can't begin to do that
for you;" The open-faced man went out
and traveled right over to the other store.
That man in the new store," said he, offers
to sell me the best Haxall flour, with four
Xs on the barrel, for $5, and your flour
hasn't got but three Xs." The grocer
scratched his head. "Did you notice the
size of the Xs on his barrels?" he finally
asked. "Yes," said the customer; "they
were about three inches long." "Ah, that
a. makes the difference, don't you see. The
Xs on my barrels are six inches long. Just
look at them."' The customer was convinced
and ordered a barrel at once.?Boston
Record.
He Settled the Business Thoroughly.?McCoy,
when he came to Scott county,
went to work for a farmer named Hitt, who
had a charming daughter, Emma. A young
x man whom Farmer Hitt had repeatedly
driven from the place continued to come
around, paying his addresses to the daugh~
ter, until finally the farmer, despairing of
keeping him away by any milder means,
hired McCoy to thrash him every time he
came near. Once or twice, or maybe more,
the young man came, saw the girl, took his
thrashing and departed. But one day there
came the end of this sort of thing. McCoy,
returning from town, where he had gone as
driver and escort for the daughter, approached
the father, saying:
"Well, Mr. Hitt, I've settled this business
of that young fellow's coming around here
to see Em."
"What do you mean ?" asked the farmer.
"I mean that he won't come any* more,
an' you can bet on it."
"Why, Mac, you haven't killed him, have
you ?" asked the farmer, fearfully.
"No. Better than that."
"What then ?"
"I've married Em."
The old farmer flew into a dreadful rage,
but McCoy had the girl, and there was no
getting her away from him, so Farmer Hitt,
like a sensible man, made the most of it
and gave his son-in-law a piece of land,
which he is now tilling, while "Em" minds
the babies like a dutiful wife.?Chicago

A Great Man in Georgia.?In a certain
section of Georgia, Senator Joe Brown is
held to be something higher than earth and
something greater than man; and through
thissection an Atlanta newspaper man of a
religious turn of mind (there is only one in
Atlanta, and he is not there now) had occasion
to travel. One Sunday he attended a
country Sunday-school and was called on to
speak, and to interest the scholars he asked
them questions between his remarks.
"Who made the great big world?" he
asked, under the subject 'Creation.'"
"God," answered the whole school.
"And who made the pretty stars and the
great yellow moftn to shine by night, and
the beautiful silver sun to shine by day?"
"God," said all the children again.
"Correct," he said, pleasantly.
"And now, children, who made God ?"
This was a poser, and the school was silent
for a full minute, when a small hand belonging
to the postmaster's small boy, went
up.
"Ah! my boy," smiled the catechizer,
"you can answer, can you ? Well, now, tell
us who made God."
"Joe Brown did," piped the boy, and all
the scholarsin the school looked ashamed of
. themselves for being so ignorant, and even
the teacher seemed provoked that the postmaster's
boy had taken the honors.

case of the young lady who sat in an alcove
at an evening party with a bright young
military man, her little niece on her knee
to play propriety. Suddenly, the company
is electrified by the exclamation of the
child.
"Kiss me, too, Aunt Alice!"
But the sudden shock is succeeded by a
feeling of relief as Aunt Alice calmly replies:
You should not say, "Kiss me, two, dear,
you should say, Kiss me twice.

Convention took a recess one member approached
another and said: "That was a
splendid speech you made against the carpet-baggers,
telling fiow the Democrats
hurled them from power and corruption;
but say I was a carpet-bagger."

Miscellaneous Reading.
THE PHENOMENA OF EARTHQUAKES.
Tn every part of the world the surface is
subject to be shaken at times by movements
taking place in the interior and transmitted
somewhat like a wave, to distant regions.
No country escapes these visitations, but in
volcanic districts they occur more frequently
than elsewhere; and commencing in
these they have been known to pass between
sea and land, from one hemisphere to another,
till full one-eighth of the entire surface
of the globe has been, more or less, disturbed
by the movement. Some countries
are so subject to these disturbances that the
habitations of the people are built low, with
broad bases and substantial walls, with particular
reference to their stability against
the shocks.
Taking into account the whole surface of
the earth, there is probably not a day that
passes without the occurrence somewhere of
a sensible disturbance of this kind, and
hardly a moncn witnout one or more wormy
of note. The same countries have continued
to be frequently visited by earthquakes
from remote periods.
The approach of earthquakes is heralded
by several premonitory symptoms of an
unmistakable character. The air appears
to be affected in some respect, perhaps in
its electric condition, and the brute animals
show a sensitiveness to this by uttering
cries of distress and running wildly
about. Men sometimes are affected with
dizziness and a sensation like sea-sickness.
The atmosphere is often hazy for months,
and the sun seen through it appears red and
fiery. The weather suddenly changes from
fierce gusts of wind to dead calms, and
rains pour down in torrents at times; or in
places in which they are usually of rare
occurrence. Immediately before the shocks
occur, the air is generally very still, while
the surface of the ocean or lakes is unusually
disturbed. A sound then breaks upon the
stillness like distant thunder, or it may
break at once with an awful explosion, as
when the peal and flash come together from
every part of the cloud in which one is enveloped.
At the same time the ground is
shaken or lifted upward or thrown forward,
as by the passage of an irresistible wave
beneath it. The shocks may be repeated
several times in quick succession, or recur
after long intervals; the movements may
be so great as to rend the earth into chasms,
and these may open or shut again; or remain
in fissures of the width of a few feet
oryards, and extending to unknown depths;
smoke and flames are occasionally sent from
them during the continuance of the earthquake,
even if the region be not volcanic.
Torrents of water *re ejected from these
chasms, and springs of water are often
forced by the convulsion into new outlets
and directions. Objects upon the surface,
^ i ...11>
as dwellings, trees ana animais, are enguned
in the chasms, and by the subsidence of
the surface, large trees, mountains even, and
whole cities, are swallowed up.
Occurring as they most frequently do,
along the seaboard, the water is observed
commonly to retire to some distance, leaving
the harbors dry, and then to return in
a great wave of many feet in height, which
sweeps everything before it. This may
occur by the progress of the great wave,
the recession being occasioned in the same
way as the similar movement upon a small
scale noticed along the shore as a steamboat
approaches it, the water first receding
and then returning in a great wave ; or it
may be owing to a tract being uplifted in
the sea at some distance toward which the
waters would first be drawn from every direction
and immediately after be propelled
back with redoubled force.
Although the terrible effects which are
often produced by earthquakes have in all
ages forced themselves on the attention of
man, it is only within the last thirty years
that the phenomena have been subject to
exact investigation; aud after all that "has
been written on the subject, but little is
really known as to the origin of earthquakes.
Probably several distinct causes
should be recognized, for it is hardly to be
supposed that all the subterranean disturbances,
differing as they do so widely in intensity
and duration, should be referred to
one common mechanism. Any great concussion,
even upon the surface, is competent
to produce tremors which may be regarded
as diminutive earthquakes. A recent
investigator was led to refer most
earthquakes to the "snap and jar occasioned
by the sudden and violent rupture of solid
rock masses, and perhaps the instantaneous
injection into them of intumescent molten
matter beneath." He believed that the
rupture of the rocks was due to the expansion
of deeply seated masses of mineral
matter, consequent upon either increased
or diminished temperature. It is argued,
however, by another, on mechanical prinoinles.
that such fractures could Droduce
only weak impulses; though he admits
that some earthquakes, especially those
marked by long continued tremors, may be
due to the movement and crushing of rock
masses by tangential pressures produced
by secular cooling of the earth.
Steam has always been a favorite agent
with one class of investigators, since it is
clearly competent to produce great effects
by its sudden generation, or by a sudden
condensation.
It has been suggested that water finding
its way through fissures in the earth's crust,
might reach highly heated rocks and remain
quietly in this spheroidical condition
until a local reduction of temperature suddenly
caused it to flash into steain.
The great earthquake in Lisbon, in 1755,
led the Rev. John Michell, professor of
mineralogy at Cambridge, to turn his attention
to the subject. Regarding the earth as
having a liquid interior covered by a comparatively
thin crust, he conceived that
waves might be geuerated in this subteranean
liquid, and that such waves, by shaking
the flexible crust, would produce the
shocks of an earthquake. His illustration
of the movement of the ground is that of a
loose carpet thrown into undulations by being
shaken at one corner. Although Michell's
hypothesis is still accepted, in a modified
form, by some geologists, it should be
remembered that many arguments of considerable
weight have been urged by modern
physicists against the doctrine of a
liquid nucleus and a thin crust. Whatever
the nature of Michell's theory, he failed to
understand the true nature of wave motion,
and the way it is transmitted during an
earthquake shock.
Modern writers believe that an earthquake
is a vibratory motion propagated by
vibration in the atmosphere.
A relation is clearly traceable between
the geographical distribution of volcanoes
and the chief earthquake areas; and although
it is not for a moment to be supposed
that the volcano and the earthquake
stand to each other in the relation of cause
and effect, it is nevertheless highly probable
that they represent merely different exsions
of the same subterraneous forces.
"Whatever may be the real origin of the
earthquake shock, it is convenient to regard
its effects as proceeding from a concussion
or sudden blow delivered under the ground
at some definite centre. This centre, so
far from being anything like a mathematical
point, is in nature a subterranean region,
which in many cases is no doubt of very
large dimensions, measuring perhaps some
I miles in diameter. From this centre waves
are propagated in all directions through the
solid materials of the earth's crust; and if
the focus be situated beneath the sea, the
vibrations of the ground will be accompanied
by undulations of the water. These
waves which pass through the elastic materials
of the earth consist, for the most
part, of longitudinal vibrations, like those
of atmospheric sound-waves, and consequently
not like the ordinary water-waves.
That elevation has been frequently observed
after an earthquake is a fact beyond
question; thus Capt. Fitzroy found, after
the South American earthquake of 1835,
that a part of the isle of Santa Maria, in the
Bay of Concepcion, had been raised upwards
ot ten feet; and although this elevation was
followed by a slow subsidence, it is believed
that the land was permanently left consider
ably higher than its level before the occurrence
of the catastrophe.
Humboldt maintained that everything in
earthquakes seems to indicate the action of
elastic fluids seeking an outlet to spread
themselves in the atmosphere, and as an argument
to support this theory, he says:
"Often on the coasts of the South Sea, the
action is almost instantaneously communicated
from Chili to the Gulf of Guayaquil,
a distance of six hundred leagues; and what
is very remarkable, the shocks appear to be
so much the stronger as the country is
more distant from burning volcanoes."
Of all the calamities to which man is exposed,
there are none of so fearful a character
as earthquakes; none involve such terrible
and devastating destruction to life
and property. There are none, of the approach
of which he is less forewarned, and
none against which he can take fewer precautions.
The very mysteriousness of the
danger oppresses him with terror. He is
ignorant in what form it is most imminent,
or in what direction toseeka way of escape.
METEORS AND VOLCANIC OUTBURSTS.
We have actually no possible way of explaining
the terrestrial origin of any meteors
but in volcanic outbursts. Moreover,
we are obliged to set the time when such
outbursts took place very far back in the
past, seeing that at present the volcanic
forces of the earth, even as manifested at
Krakotoa recently, possess nothing like the
power necessary for the ejection of matter
beyond the range of the earth's backdrawing
power. Looking, however, at the immense
extrusive power of the tertiary era,
when balsatic lava covering hundreds of
thousands of square miles to a depth of 1,000
to 14,000 feet were poured forth, we can conceivethe
still micrhtier energies of volcanoes
in the secondary era, their still more tremendous
power in the primary era, and so,
passing backward to millions of years beyond
the first beginnings of life on the earth,
we can even picture to ourselves volcanoes
ejecting matter with velocities of 10 to 12
miles per second. With such velocities
flights of ejected particles would pass beyond
the earth's attraction, and if she were
the only body in the universe, such ejected
matter would travel away from her never
to return. But, although such expelled
bodies would never return to the earth, they
would not escape from the solar system. To
drive them forever away from her the earth
would '.dve to impart a much larger velocity?an
average of about twenty-six miles
per second.
The greater number of the expelled bodies
would travel thenceforth in an orbit round
the sun, crossing the earth's track at or near
the place where they were first sent forth
from their parent planet. One may almost
say that this origin of many meteorites and
meteor systems is forced upon us by the
evidence. Still it would be negatived if
we found that volcanoes do not eject matter
at all resembling meteorites in structure.
The reverse, hovever, is the case. Ranging
the products of volcanic ejection in order according
to the amount of iron they contain
and ranging meteorites in like manner, we
find the two series coinciding over the greater
portion of longer?the volcanic series. We
might not indeed have known how closely
the most ferruginous volcanic products resemble
the iron meteorites in structure but
for the accident that Nordenskjold discovered
a mass which he mistook for an iron
meteorite, but which is. found now to be
really a volcanic ejection, akin in structure
to the field of basaltic lava (at Ovifak on
the shores of Greenland,) in the midst of
which it had fallen while the lava was still
plastic to retain this missile as it fell after
its fight through many miles of air.
The Wonders of Alaska.?A report
has been received at the Navy Department
in Washington from Lieut. Geo. M. Stoney,
commanding the Alaska exploring expedition,
dated Fort Cosmos, Putnam River,
December 2G, 1885. Lieut. Stoney states
that between the 10th and 19th of December
he made a sledging expedition to the northward
and reached the headwaters of a river
which flows northward. The natives say
that this river empties into the Arctic near
Point Barrow. Owing to the shortness of
the days, having only twilight and moonlight,
he could not make much headway
and regarded it more practical to continue
exploring the country nearer headquarters
| and take up the northern country when the
I days lengthen. Every effort would be made
to explore the mentioned river and also to
reach Point Barrow, thereby completing
the exploration of Arctic Alaska.
On his northern trip he came across natives
who had never before seen white men,
and who were at first much surprised to see
white men come among them. There being
but two whites in the party, Lieut. Stoney
at first feared trouble, but the natives proved
to be very kind and friendly. Their
curiosity, was, however, beyond imagination.
Some ol these natives claimed that
i they sometimes visited Point Barrow by
j way of the river. Their chief food is the
flesh of the reindeer. The few fish they
get out of the lakes are of little or no value.
Their country abounds in reindeer and
many herds were seen, some of which
i numbered several hundred. For six days
the party lived principally on deer meats.
The winter quarters were very comfortable.
So far Lieut. Stoney said he had been able
to procure fresh meat twice a week, and he
l felt confident that he could continue to do
; so through the winter. The men are enj
during the Arctic winter without serious
I results to their health. The winter thus
| far has been milder than expected. Fortyi
five degrees below zero was the lowest tem;
perature experienced.
Tiie Game of Chess.?Many tales are
i told of the invention of the game of chess.
: The Hindoos say that it is the invention of
' an astrologer who lived more than 5,000
years ago, and was possessed of supernatural
knowledge and acuteness. Greek historians
assert that the game was invented to
beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy.
; The Arab legend is that it was devised for
. the instruction of a young despot by his
J father, a learned Brahmin, to teach the
youth that a king, no matter how powerful,
! was dependent upon his subjects for safety.
That Ancient City, Damascus.?The
ancient city of Damascus is in a prosperous
condition. Its trade with foreign countries
| is rapidly increasing. The narrow thor|
oughfareand bazarrs are disappearing, and
giving place to wider streets suitable for
wheeled vehicles, and the ancient aspect of
the city is slowly, butsurely, changing.
