AFTER THE WEDDING.
All alone in ray roora at last!
I wonder how far they h*ve travelled now ?
They'll be very ?\r when the night is past,
And soLwould I-if I knew but how.
Haw calm she was, with her 3aint-like face !
Her eyes are. violet-mine are bine.
How careless I am with my mother's lace 1
Her hands are whiter and softer, too.
They have .gone to the city beyond the Lilis;
They must never come back to this ??lace
again. ;
I'm almost afraid to sit here so still ;
Wish it would thunder and lighten and
rain.
Ohv no ! for some one may not be at rest ;
Some one, perhaps, is traveling to-night.
I hope that the moon may shine instead,
And heaven be starry and earth all bright.
It is only one sommer .that she's bees here ;
It has been my home for seventeen years t
And seventeen sommers of happy bloom
Fall dead to-night ia a rain of tears.
It zs dark, all dark in the midnight shades ;
Father io Heaven, may I have rest ?
One hour of rest for this aching bead ;
For this throbbing heart in my weary breast?
X loved him store than she understands ;
For him I prayed for my sou 1 in troth ;
For bim I am kneeling with lifted hands
To lay at his feet my shattered youth.
I loved, and I love-I love him still,
Moro than father, mother or Life;
Hy hop? of,nopes was to bear his name,
My beaven of heavens to be bis wife.
His wife-the name that angels breathe
"The words shall not crimson my cheek with
shasoe ;
'TwonJd have been my glory that name to
wreathe
. In the princely heart from which it came?
And the kiss I gave the bride to-night
His bride ti ii life and light grow dim
God oalj knows how I pressed her lips,
That the kia? to ber be given to him !

The Threats of a Crazy Man Under
. Arrest at Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 5-Friday even
ing Officer Grot? arrested a carpenter,
47 years of age? who gave his name as
Beodicbt Krebs. The prisoner is a na?
tive of Sweden, and says be has been
living in Springfield, III., for some
years. He came here about three weeks
ago and stopped for a night at the Co
Iambus Hotel on Pe na sylvan ia avenue.
The next morning be told the clerk,
Hr. George Houston, that be was a.
carpenter, and the latter gave bim a few
days* work.
Krebs then paid in advance for a
room ia tbs hotel for a mon tb and took
bis meals tn the adjoining boose. He.
bad not occupied bis quarters in the
hotel long before be began to talk about
the President, and often inquired where
be lived. Several years ago, be said,
there were ?500,000 coming to himi
from the government, but the President
(Grant) got it and spent it. Then be
said that President Cleveland owed him
J^00,000,000, which 'he would have to
pay, and be began talking about killing
the President. One afternoon wben be
bad one of tbsse crazy spells on, be beld
a piece of soap in his hand and said :
'If I can't get anything else Til kill i
Cleveland with this/
On Friday be said be was going to j
get a doable-barreled shotgun and
wben Cleveland was at Church on Sun
- day he was going to shoot the top of bis
bead off.
Mr. Houston - thought that Krebs
would carry bis threat into execution,
and ito notified Officer Groff, who ar?
rested bim.
Friday night, wben seen in bis cell,
. Krebs said that in 1875 President
Grant convened a special term of the
United States Court, which granted him
(Krebs) $12.000 'for neglect of educa?
tion and innocent suffering/ The
President failed to keep bis contract,
and be (Krebs) was defrauded out of
the money. Now President Cleveland
acts in the same manner. He intended
to see the President when friends of
both were present, so that if there was.
any trouble each would bave a fair
show.
.Are you married or single V asked
tba reporter.
.I am single,' be answered, 'but it is
not my fault. In 1872 I was driven
from an engagement in Wisconsin by.
assassination. The assassins were tried
at the capital, and judgment was ren?
dered against them.'

The reunion of Northern and South?
ern veterans on the battlefield of Get?
tysburg on Saturday, July 2d, was a
v grand affair. Gen. Pickett's widow
was present and was treated with
?very evidence of hospitality and re?
spect, being the guest of the Penn?
sylvania brigade. Col. Banes, U. S.
A., made a handsome speech and was
replied to by Capt. R. P. Rives, of
Riebcond, of Pickett's brigade.
Many other speeches were made, and
the following letter from President
Cleveland was read :
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June 24, 1887.
I have received your invitation to
attend, as a guest of thc Philadelphia
brigade, a reunion of ex-Confoderatc
soldiers of Pickett's division who sur?
vived their terrible charge at Gettys?
burg and those of the Union army
now living by whom it was heroically
resisted.
The fiatemal meeting of these sol
fliers upon the battlefield where
4wenty-four years ago in deadly fray
they fiercely sought each others' lives,
where they saw their comrades fall,
and where all their thoughts were of
vengeance and destruction, will illus?
trate the general impulse of brave
men and their honest desire for peace
and reconciliation.
Thc friendly assault there lo be
?made will be resistless, because in?
spired by American chi valry ; and ito
result will be glorious, because con?
quered hearts will be its trophies o?
success. Thereafter this battlefield
will be consecrated by a victory
which shall presage the end of the
bitterness of strife, the exposure ol
the sincerity which conceals hatred
hy profession of kindness the. con
demnation of frensied app^-ls to pas?
sion for unworthy purposes and thc
beating down of all that stands in tin:
way of thc destiny of our united
country.
While those, who fought and win
have so much to forgive lead in lin
pleasant ways of peace, how wickec
appears ihe traffic in sectional hate
and the Le tray al of patriotic senti
ment.
lt surely cannot he wrong to desire
lin? settled quiet which lights for om
entire country the path t?> prosperity
ami greatness ; nor wed the lessors
of the *.var oe forgotten and its result*
jeopardized in thc wish ?'jr that gena
. ine fraterai?y which insures national
pride and glory.
? should bo very glad to accept
your invitation and be with you at
this interesting reunion, but other ar?
rangements already made and my offi?
cial duties herc .will prevent my do?
ing so.
Hoping that the occasion will be
as successful and useful as its pro?
moters can desire, I am, yours very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
The veterans of both sides went
into, camp on Cemetery hill.
The old soldiers who bad confront?
ed each other in battle twenty-four
years ago met as brothers and friends
under the folds of their country's flag
and vied with each other in the
warmth of their fraternal greeting.
Such meetings are productive of none
but the best results. .
Facts about the Three C's
Railroad.
Two large new freight engines have
arrived at Black's for the use of the
Charleston Cincinnati and Chicago.
Road. They weigh forty-five tons each
and are named 'Rutherford' and 'Cleve?
land.' Another engine soon to arrive
will be called 'York.'
Chief Engineer Matson objects to
: the abbreviation *Three CV for the:
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
I Road, and wents it called the 'Magnetic
Line.'
Col. P. P. Dickinson, who bas just
gone over the line of the Three C's
Road, says that the road bed is the
'. finest he ever saw on a new road.
Fifteen new freight cars with a capa?
city of 40,000 pounds each, have been
received at Blacks for use on the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Road, between Black's and Rotberford
: ton.
Previous to tbe arrival of thc new
equipment the Three CY Road returned
for taxation two passenger coaches,
one baggage car, two box cars, twelve
flat cars, seven hand cars and nine
push cars. The completed track from
Black's to Rutherfordton is forty-three
and three-fifths miles of main track and
one mile of Side track. Four miles are
in South Carolina, twenty-one in Cleve?
land and eighteen and three-fifths in
Rutherford. The assessment ia South
Carolina is $5,000 per mile, in North
Carolina it is $3,500 per mile.
The Kershaw Gazette says: 'It is
probable that the amount paid out for
Railroad work in this County daring
the present week will reach at least
?15,000.'

The Manufacture of Type.
Gutenberg, K?ster (if he ever lived),
and most of the early printers made
their own type, and this, indeed, is
the germ and key of the whole industry.
The making of type is now a calling
by itself-the trade of the type-founder
-but it is most curious that up to the
invention of the type-casting .machine
in 1838 by an American, David Bruce,
Jun., of New York, there had been
scarcely any improvements in the pro?
cess since the early days. Then, as
now, in aH probability, the type-founder
cut first his * conn te rp un ch' of hard
steel, which stamps into the end of the
tiny bit of soft steel the interior part
of the letter to be made. It is a patient
mau who must do this work, which ir
completed by cutting away ail thc
superfluous metal outside the letter,
leaving in relief the letter A of the
desired new pattern or new size. When
a smokeproof of his die shows the
punch-cutter that his A is perfect, he
hardens the bit of steel, and with suc?
cessive blows of this die upon a bit of
copper makes the matrix for any num?
ber of type. If it is a very large let?
ter, the metal is poured into a mould,
with these matrices at the bottom, by
hand, in the old-fashioned way, and the
letters sawn apart ; but most types are
now cast in the little casting machines,
which will turn out a hundred or more
type a minute. The type metal bas.
been fused in great melting-rooms,
where the lead, antimony, and tin have
been mixed in the crucibles in the pro?
per proportions to form this alloy, which
must be 'hard, yet not brittle ; ductile,
yet tough ; flowing freely, yet harden?
ing quickly.' It is kept fluid in a lit?
tle furnace under the casting machine,
whence, as the caster turns a crank,
it is spurted by a pump in just the
right quantity to fill a tiny mould
which presents itself at the spout at
just the right moment to receive it.
The copper matrix forms the end of the
mould, and as the letter jumps back
with its quickly cooling charge of metal,
thc matrix frees itself from the mould,
the upper half of the mould pops off,
and the formed type is tossed out in?
stanter. Thence thc tiny bits go to the
breakers, boys who break off the waste
'jets' of metal ; rubbers, with leather
protected fingers, sitting at large circu?
lar stones, rub down the rough edges ;
girls set the types up in long rows into
a 'dressing-block,' in which they arc
held while the dresser, with a planing
tool, grooves their understandings and
shaves their sides perfectly true. After
passing the inspection of his maguify
iug-glass, the good letters go to a
haven of rest to wait the printer's
orders, while the bad are committed
again to the flames.-Harper s Maga?

The Pigeon Fancy*
The man or Vornan, boy or girl,
who really loves the pets that are hers
or his is the person wbo will get a sat?
isfactory amount of both pleasure and
profit from their pets. Many an bum?
ble, hard-working man finds far keen?
er enjoyment in contemplating a sin?
gle pair of fine fowls, pigeons or rab?
bits than does his rich neighbors in
looking over his acres of land, cover?
ed with fine fowl houses, stables and
barns. Many a boy has made whole
years pleasant and sunshiny, by sim?
ply a love for his pets. After all it is
not what wc have, but how we look
at it, that makes anything enjoyable.
To teach one the way to happiness,
the way to enjoy owning pets, let him
commence with something that he can
not so readily make a means of money
making. Let him learn to love and
care for his birds because they are his,
because they have beauty of form or
color, or way, and not to look upon
them at all as a source of money
earning.
Yet keeping a limited number in a
proper manner, carefully breeding
them, and selling them through the
regular pigeon or poultry magazines
will not fail paying very fairly usual?
ly. We know this from personal ex?
perience of several years with them.
And yet.the pleasure and satisfaction
is not lessened any even when it is all
outlay and no income. We recom?
mend them to all the boys and girls
who read this paper. No possible
harm will result from keeping one or
two pairs of these interesting pets.
They are easily made very tame and

A Sick Man's Wife Disregards the Druggist's
Advice and So Saves thc Life of
f^--.^.. Her Husband.
I nm a wood carver by trade and it is
out of my line to write letters; but my
wife thought it was no more than right
that I should kit you know what your
remedy has done fur mc, and I think
so too.
I live in East 157th street, west of
Third avenue, and have lived there for
about twenty-three years, where I own
real estate. Up to the time I am about
to mention I had been a strong, well
man. There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but I had
not personally suffered from it. It was
?n 18801 had my first attack. It came
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi?
tion, chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, a disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. I was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West 32d
street. I hoped the attack would wear
off, but as it didn't I consulted a well
known and able physician in Morris
ania, who gave me q inine and told me
what to do. I can sum up* the first four
and a half or five years of my experi?
ence in few words. Occasionally I
"was laid np for a day or two, but on
the whole I stuck to my work. 1 kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak?
er anti worse, slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now well de?
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. I had dumb ague in its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that I could do or the doc?
tors could do. It held me in a grip like
fire in a burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. I was
fast losing flesh and slrength, and about
March, iSSi, I knocked off work entire?
ly and went home to be down sick, and
to die for all I could tell. I ran down so
rapidly that I soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later 1 went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of quinine were increased until I
' often took thirty gr atna at a dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. It broke
my sleep all up. and 1 often walked the
Moor, or staggered about it, all night
long, scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely, irritable. As to food,
one of my little children would eat
more in a meal than I could in a day.
I would order food and then turn from
it in disgust. I lived on quinine and
other stimulants and on myself, like a
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in a whirl, and thc liquor-given
as a medicine-made my stomach so
sick I could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight)
I ran down to 97 pounds-the weight
of a light girl-and was scarcely better
than a skeldon.
]f anybody had. iahen a hatchet and
knocked mc dow fi and killed me I should
have been better off.
During tiic latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
"Miller, there's no use in my taking
ail}* more money of you, I cau't do you
any good. I might pour pounds of qui?
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you."
On the strength of this I gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
mv el i anees.
Three weeks afterwards-about thc I
last of May-my wile saw an advertise?
ment of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. I said: v Stull' and
nonsense! it can't do me any good."
But she went to a druggist's, iieverrhe
loss. to get it. The druggist advised -
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar: that she ought not
to throw away ber money on it, &c.
He sahl he didn't keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn?
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor. Mv. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her a bottle at a drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith. I began taking it. In
one week I was better. I began to
sleep. I stopped " seeing ghosts." I
began to have un appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first of
June, 1886, and by the end of t'hat
month I was back at my bench at C. P.
Smith's scroll sawing factory in ll?th
street, where I work now.
Since then I have never lost a day
from sickness. Taking Kaskine only,
about forty pellets in four equal doses
a day, I continued to fl*ain. The ma?
laria appeared to l>e killed in my sys?
tem, and now I've got back my old
weight-?7.5 pounds-and my old
strength to labor. I am an astonish?
ment to myself and to my friends, and
If Kiskinc did not do this I don't know
what did. The only greater thing it
could do would be to bring a dead man
lo life. FREDEKICK A. MILLEU,
