When the north wind blows on the south ern HOS The venturing tide turns about; The waters retreat to the caves of the deep, And the whltecsrps are picketed out; The^amp is all snugged for a wintry day, While the south wind has wandered in dalilanee away. The foam on the breakers Is chilled and white As the enow of an old man’s beard. And the waves are os still as the grave yard mounds, For the timorous sea is afeared. The north wind Is angry, and threatens a fray, And the valorous south wind has wan dered away. The beach Is bare, and bleak, and wide. And the llshermen’s nets are dry; The pelicans s<|uat In the lee of the roof. And the ocean Is hashed ns the sky; For the north wind Is master and lord the dav When the sun Is aslant and the south wind's away. • Now Orleans Picayune. of >0900000009: JACK’S FATE. nr FAVLINK MONTAfll’B. )DOODOOOOOOOOOOOOdOOOOOO HE thermometer had tumbled down to . fifty-four, and the rawest of east winds was blowing in damp gusts, bring- « ing misty sheets of rain against th e | window -panes in Jack Jerome’s office, with a miserable, wailing noise that was only equaled in gloominess by the appearance of slow ly tinkling rivulets of the rain-drops as they dripped down tho glass. As dispiriting us ever u day was or co ild be, Jack thought, as be closed his day t -book with a bang, and saunt ered across tho dusky office to the window, to plunge his hands in his pockets, and look out on tho gray, sodden, weeping world. And not so very much more cheerful inside, either, Jack thought, ns he turned disgustedly away, into tne little room again, with its stove in fjie middle, that stood there perpetual! its time-tables of a dozen of roai tacked on the walls, its railed-ol ticket-office with the telegraph ap paratns, whose monotonous cliok- cliokety-cliok had come to be a positive >rr<tfju Jack’s life. j he was obligedTlo listen to it thirteen hours out of the twenty-four, and to attend to all the other duties of agent at this lonesome, little, ont-of-the- way railroad station in the suburbs, and all for the magnificent remunera tion of forty dollars a month—Ji Jerome, college-bred, strong-limlWd, handsome as a young Apollo, 4ud proud as—well, brave and proud enough to fill .this detested position wen, since nothing yet had offered. He had always meant such grand things when college days were over. He had fully decided to study law, make a name for himself that should bring coy Fame and fickle Fortune to his sido. There had been plenty of money in the Jerome coffers then, and not until a week after Jack had carried off the grand honors did tho sudden, appal ling crash coino, in which everything was swept by tho board, and the hand some, ambitious young fellow found himsolf with a tine stock of clothes and an A 1 education, in a place whore a beggar could not be a chooser. pf course he had tried other things, but other filings were not avaliable; and then this had been offered him, and be had taken it and fulfilled bis duties well, and loathed it equally well. But to-day he was not thinking so much of that as of one other thing, that naturally led him to despise tho future of his position. He was think ing of tho soft, velvety gray oyei that he had seen once or twice too often for his happiness—a fair-faood, proud- stepping young girl, whose uamo ho did not even know, but who had made an impression upon him that he could not shake off. “But what good would it do, even if I knew her, and if a mutually-delight- fnl acquaintance ensued?’’ ho asked himself, bitterly, ns be leaned against the big desk and looked moodily out into the disconsolate day. “A poor fellow with ten dollars a week is not an object of much interest to one oi the fair ones, to begin with; and to venture to build hopes of a future An imperative summons on the tel egraph instrument dissipated his thonghts, and by the time he hat taken his orders and seen to one or two details the down train came in and while it laid off on the siding waiting for the Eastern Express Frank Wheat came in, cheery and good-natured as over, as well-paid anc; geutlemauly passenger conductors usually are. “I suppose you’ve heard the latest, Jerome?” he said, with just the least little deprecation in his voice. “No. What is it?” Jack asked, in differently. “Rather a departure, and pretty rough on you fellows; but the super intendent’s going to pat lady teleg raphers in all along the branch road, Jack looked incredulous. “It’s a fact,” Wheat answered; “and a shame. You fellows get little enough now at double duty.” t jaok flashed angrily. “Then you mean.” he said, impet- nously, “that they iktend to dock our pay?” Wheat nodded. “I’m sorry for Jerome.” Jack was thoroughly angry now. “It’s an outrageous shame! I sup pose tho company will save one per cent, by tho innovation—so mnch for the beautiful equality of the sexes! Well, let ’em put in a slip of a girl if they want to, and reduce my immense salary in proportion. But I can’t be lieve it, Wheat!” The whistle of the Eastern Express sounded lugubriously through the misty air, and Wheat had only time to answer a word. “You’ll see, Jerome!” Well, twenty-four JJhours later Jerome did “see”—an autograph let ter from Superintendent De Sown, stating that Miss Alma Barry would take charge of the telegraphing de partment in his office, between the hours of 8 a. m. and 5 p. m., and that his pay would be reduced—well, so materially that Jack at once resolved to quit the place entirely; and, so strange is hnman nature, actually with a feeling of sharp regret at the loss of the situation he had so despised not an hour before. “Miss Alma Barry!” He quite bated tho name, poor, lonely fellow, as he posted up his accounts, before closing up for the night; and ho wondered if she needed tho pittaneo he earned as much as he did. That night he was decidedly unlucky. He went to a score of places to find work, and failed most successfully every time, and, the next Wirning, went down to tho offico more utterly desolate and discouraged than ever he had been in all his life before. Precisely at eight o'clock, Superin tendent De Bown’s representative ap peared, escortingu young lady—slight, graceful, modest, in her gray dress and veil—and introdneed them—Miss Barry and Mr. Jerome; and, as the veil wont off, Jack nearly lost his self- possession to see the exquisite gray eyes, and rippling dark hair, and grave, sweet month he had been hopelessly in love with for months. A faint flush made her cheeks pret tier than ever, and Jack wondered, wildly, what mysterions Fate was in it all. Then Miss Barry laid off her sacqne, and hat, and gloves, and sat down to her duties at the instrument—so fair, so sweet, so dignified and thoroughly lady-like, and so perfectly mistress of her business, too. While Jack managed to attend to his duties, with, a very vague idea that he was somebody else, and a very bewil dered person at that, until late in the afternoon, when Miss Barry addressed him for the first time, unsolicited, all that day, and Jack’s heart was in his throat as he walked over to her. Her clear, calm eyes were wistful al|d—so exquisitely beautiful. r. Jerome; It doesn’t Benin right at you should be obliged to give so nch of your position up.” What ootlld he say—to her? He found no reply, and Alma went on, softly, regretfully: “I am so sorry. I know from ex perience what it is to be out of employ ment, and I am so troubled about this.” So this lovely gray-eyed girl was poor, and a worker like bima^lf! The commonplace fact was somehow be- wilderingly precious to him. “I will be as honest as yon are,” he said, after a moment, looking frankly dowuiu her face. “I needed the place --verymuch, indeed.” She flashed him back a look that was half a smile, half a pleading depreca tion. “And so did I, Mr. Jerome. It is so hard for us girls to And positions to decently support us.” She was poor—oh, it was raptur ously sweet to him to hear her say so! If she had been rich—this lovely girl Jack controlled a sudden, audacions lopo that leaped up in his heart, but ho did not take his eyes off her. ‘I don’t approve of women being employed in places as public as this, Miss Barry.” She flushed suddenly, but answered gravely: Nor do I, Mr. Jerome. But what are they to do?” “Stay at home, and make it tho leaven ou earth for the husband who l oves them. Let him work iu such a place as this—she in her own sphere.” A delicious flush crimsoned her i acc as she drooped it away from his eager eyes. “Yes,” she answered, softly. ‘Some women are so blessed, but not all." He leaned forward toward her, the andacions hope past control now, the sweet, sadden passion that had been growing for all these months spring ing up like a surging sea that would not be stayed. “Not at all; but will yon not make me so blessed? Alma, yon have been my love for mouths; is it possible— can it be possible—that you will be my wife?” He had said it, and with a solemn, wide-eyed look into his honest, hand some face, Alma answered him very quietly, but with a little catch of her breath and a little thrill in her tone: “I think it might be—some time.” And Jack was a resolute lover, and in just six weeks’ time they were mar ried; and they are so happy, so con tent, and Alma manages the money iu a way that is marvelous to her adoring husband, while there are excellent grounds for the rumor that has spread about among the railroad officials, that young Jerome is to be given a very superior position, where his salary will be quadrupled. But Jack and Alma will never be any happier, because they are as hap py as they can be now, and Jack never ceases to bless the day when the su perintendent pnt lady telegraph oper ators on- the branch line.—Saturday BUSHING FRONT. Episode As Exciting sod Sngt**tive the Year 1861. Twenty days after the fall of Sumt er, In 1861, President Lincoln issued his second call for volunteers—that of —three-year men (the first being for 75,000; nluety-day men, made April 15, 1801), two days after Sumter. The response was more like the passage Of the $00,000,000 appropriation recent ly in Congress than anything recalled at this time. The Government was not prepared to meet the exigencies of the situation, especially in the matter of transportation. Later, Thomas A. Scott c< the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, was made Assistant Secretary of War and given the direction of all matters relating to railroad transportation. Order and system soon came out of confusion, and troops were moved with the regularity of mail trains in times of peace. It was during the confusion days, and in answer to the call for 4” 000 three- year volunteers, that a Wisconsin Colonel reached Corning, N. Y., en route to Washington with his regiment of nearly 1,100 men. By some miscalculation, no way had been prepared to forward these men to the front—beyond this point. The Colonel kept the wires hot in appeals for further transportation. He was told that he could not be moved for possibly a week. He replied that he was not in the field and how was he to subsist his men. The reply was equivalent to quien sabe. Here was a dilemma which could not have been met save by an Ameri can officer, in command of Americans and on American soil. He ordered his regiment into line and called for volun teers for special service: “All experi enced telegraph operators, particularly those familiar with railroad work, step three paces to the front” The same order for railroad engineers, fire men, conductors, brakemen, switchmen and blacksmiths. To everybody’s surprise, he had enough experts of each kind to man a dozen trains. At once they were or dered to«make-up the necessary trains from cats standing idle in the yardi take engines from the roundhouse and get ready to move the regiment with the greatest despatch. 4 Then the telegraph operators were* ordered to notify every office alongjffe line, the general office in New (Erie), that of the Norths h-' 1 Philadelphia, and - sylvania Central /W*.

Eqaal W were ordered slj he undersign® Everything when the Cold he found a ft ready to take hll and Washington^) ts Dynamite Whoa Mixed vfti Char coal Powder. At a meeting of the Society of Arts, held at the rooms in Adelphi Street, Professor J. A. Ewing read a paper on “Linde’s Method of Producing Extreme Cold and Liquefying.” In May, 181)5, said he lecturer, Dr. Carl Linde, of Munich made public a novel process which he has invented for attaining extreme low temperatures and for liquefying air. By his method the production of liquid air was so much simplified that its application to industrial uses was comparatively easy. From this point of view the liquefac tion of aid was likely to prove valuable mainly because it gave a means of sep aration more or less completely the oxygen of atmosphere from its asso ciated nitrogen. After describing the process by which a liquid consisting largely of oxygen may be produced, Professor Ewing went on to say that the most interesting application of the liquid which had hitherto been tried pn a commercial scale was to make an explosive by mixing it with carbon. When liquid air enrl led by the evap oration of a large part of its nitrogen was mixed with powdered charcoal it formed an explosive comparable in power with dynamite, and which, like dynamite, could be made to go off vio lently by using a detonator. Experiments with the explosive had been made on the parade ground at Munich and a practical test on a large scale had gone on for some months in a coal mine at Penzberg, not far from Munich. The chief advantage of the explosive was its cheapness, the cost being to all intents and purposes •Mmply that of the power used in lique fying the air. Even the fact that after 3 short time the mixture ceased to be Capable of exploding might be urged is a recommendation, for if a detonater there was no danger of the ing off acidentally some tjme explosion was due; nor was re afy risk of its being purloined ing fir irge ter tt irg 'arg •or® “shove him across m Virginia before he quarfewA J4hen the Senate chamber or bivouacs the grounds of the White House.” on Fires o!
