TEEAEOTIC WATCH.
1 upootbe frosen foaa.
Auto vessel xmr xrom looe,

The polar star above ber lies,
A award of light act in the skies;
The Arctic war is on ber deck.
And Hope has left the broken wreck.
Bereft of aU things else but Fate.
And elnkinff, sinking-, sinkta- yet.
Behold her lying- desolate.
The lost Jeannettel

Dead heroes on a field of scow;
One lonely heart that, beating- stew.
Yet dreams of home.
Where g-olden fruits are on the bough,
AB9 all the woods are crimson now.
The last of that high-hearted band
Keeps vigil in that bitter land :
And, crowned with thorns of frost and pais.
Lives o'er his boyhood days again;
And in his drear death-watch uplifts
His gaze, and sees beyond the drifts.
The iceberg- tall, a crystal pate.
By which his risen comrades wait.
Not weak and worn like men who died.
But robed, and crowned, and glorified.
Tamlliar voices trreet his ear:
rh hm that love him call him dear:
Frost-flower and thorn that bound his

Kelt off, and it is wreathed instead
With lilies of the pure-in-hcart.
His icy garments fall apart:
The paln.and toll, and danger passed.
The long death-watch Is done at last!
He stands a form or living light,
He joins his comrades in their flight.
They pass the sward set in the 6kies,
No waste white deserts now to roam.
They upward, upward, upward rise.
And win the gates of Paradise
O, welcome home!

a TERRIBLE REVENGE.
It was on the ere of the battle of
Solferino. The French regiments,
which had arrived from Milan during
the day. by long and dusty roads, under
a broiling sun, exhausted by fatigue,
were encamped on an immense plain,
shut in by a chain of hills, on which
towered the white houses of the town.
Lightning, plajirjg among the leaden
colored clouds, illuminated, at intervals
with lurid light the battlefield of the
morrow. Nothing else lit up the camp.
No fires were allowed, as a measure of
prudence.
All wcro uot asleep, however. Be
sides the outposts and pickets, many in
camp were wide awake. Here and
there groups of men, lyiug on the grass
around their tents, conversed in a low
tone and discussed the probable issue
of the coming battle.
In the middle of a small group of
officers, who talked over the chances of
the morrow, was Colonel Eugene do
Valniout, who commanded a regiment
of light dragoons. He had the well
earned reputation of being one of the
most splendid officers in his own branch
of the service. Although a strict disci
plinarian, he was beloved in the regi
ment by officers and men alike, and
deservedly so.
Colonel do Valmont appeared to pay
but little attention to what was said.
He seemed in a proud reverie, as he
bit, rather than smoked, a half con
sumed cigar. Turning suddenly to his
Surgeon Major, a veteran with a well
bronzed face, he said :
"Brisac, do vou believe in presenti
ments?" "It depends, Colonel. One may have
them, no doubt; but to admit that they
are ever realized is another matter."
You look upon them as valueless,
devoid of any prophetic importance?"
"Quite so."
"Ah! It is true, as is said, that all
you doctors are more or less material
ists." After a pause, he added: "You
are right, perhaps, and so much the
better. There are some thoughts which
should be banished on the eve of a day
like what to-morrow promises to be."
So saying he got up and added: "I
shall turn in arm get some rest and ad
vise you all to do the same. In a few
hours we shall need all the strength we
can command."
One by one the group broke off and
presently there was left only three offi
cers the Major, a Captain, and a
sub-Lieutenant.
"What did the Colonel mean by pre
sentiments?" asked the younger of
them. "We know he has no fear about
to-morrow; yet his manner and his last
words, to say the least, are not reassur
ing." 'Had you been longer in the regi
ment, young fellow," replied the Major,
you would know that the Colonel pe
riodically gets 'the blues;1 but we take
no notice of them. They soon pass, and
he becomes himself again."
"But what is the cause of his recur
ring depression?"
The cause?" said the Captain.
Why, all the regiment know the
causa."
"Except in3'self. I only joined three
months ago."
"Well, nere is Brisac back from his
rounds. He can tell the story best."
The Surgeon-Major being appealed
to, lay down upon the grass.'lit a cigar,
and said:
" In 1834, Do Valmont, appointed
Lieutenant in the Chasseurs d'Afrique,
which had just been raised, landed in
Algiers, where I was assistant surgeon
attached to the military hospital.
Though I was older than he, we soon
struck up an acquaintance that ripened
into friendship, which time has not im-
aired. Eugene was young, good
ooking and a man of fascinating man
ners. He came of a distinguished fam
ilv, and his friends kept 'his purse well
filled; in short he could get money as
fast as he wished to spend it,
We served three years together,
when De Valmont got leave to exchange
and return to France. His mother was
the cause of this, for she had in view
for him a marriage with a rich heiress.
Leaving Algiers would have been all
plsin sailing except for bidding 'fare
well' to a certain lady called La Sever
ina, a danseuse at the theater. In ap
pearance she was decidedly handsome,
of an olive-colored complexion and with
raven black hair. In her large ex
pressive eyes and in her firmly cut
mouth there was a significant indica
tion of determination which suggested
that the young lady would be more de
sirable as a friend than as an enemy.
She said she was an Italian, .having
been born at Rome; but her parents
were Bohemians, who traveled through
all countries rope-dancers by profes
sion. La Severina had conceived for
cugene a passion as violent as it was
hopeless. When she heard of his pro
posed departure 6he was wild; when she
learned the motive of it, she turned a
demon. Failing, in a determined at
tempt to baulk his plans by stabbing
him with a stiletto, she assured him
with her last words that she would be
revenged. Do Valmont laughed at the
threat. I, however, determined to keep
an eye on the actions of the young lady.
In this resolve, however, I was foiled.
She left Algiers about a month after,
and I never know what became of her.
'Nearly four years had passed since
Eugene's 'return. We kept up a
constant correspondence, ana I learned
of his marriage and the birth of one
son, whom he called Lucien. He con
tinually pressed me to exchange and go
back to France.
At length I got appointed to a
cavalry regiment quartered in Paris,
aad left Algiers to take on my new
duties. Landing at Marseilles, I put
Hp at the Hotel Castellane, where the
first Barnes I read in the list of arrivals
were those of the Count and CoaBtess
de Valmont We met with joy after
oar loar separatioa. Eugene intro
duced me to his wife a lady as lovely
as she was charming aad showed aae
with pride his son a ftiie. canopy
afcild, with curly hair, and tPati
worshipped this boy poor follow! and
his life and soul seemed wrapped up in
its beina? and existence. And now, as
to the sad sequel to my tale.
" 'De Valmont was on leave, and at
bis wife's desire they were abouttovisit
Italy. Not to fatigue the child their
route was mapped out in short stages.
They were resting two days at Mar
aeilles before going to Genoa by LaCor
aieae, se I decided to stay and see them
oft
" 'la the afternoon of my arrival, as
the weather was glorious, Utile Lucien
was sent with his nurse down to the
sea, on that magnificent beach where
the splendid palace of Prado stands.
Two hours after this nurse returned
alone, looking like a mad woman. The
eyes were starting out of her head, and, !
sobbing and crying, she threw heriself
at the Countess's feet, and said she had
lost the child. She and her charge
were playing on the beach, where they
were attracted by the performance of
some acrobats. A small crowd had
assembled, and the boy was not out of
her sight for half a minute. On looking
rouadne was gone; and she sought him
in vain. He seemed to have been
spirited away. She called his name at
the top of her voice, and ran up and
down the beach until exhausted. By
standers who heard her cries helped
her in the search; but they found
nothing."
"Was Lucien drowned?" asked tbo
Sub-Lieutenant.
"This was the question started, but
it was well-nigh impossible. The child
could only toddle, and the seas was too
far from the place indicated by tho
nurse. So this hypothesis was given
ud. The police considered it a case of
kidnapping and went to work, but
tailed to find a clue. They searched
for weeks through all the slums of the
city the low quarters where the dregs
of the population congregate, the scum
of the Mediterranean but with no suc
cess. A description of the child was
sent to every consul, with orders to
make full inquiry. De Valmont him
self obtained special leave of absence
from the War Office and spent a year
in trying to solve the mystery. He re
turned more dead than alive to bury his
wife, whom grief had killed.
"As to the Colonel, at first he had
serious intentions of joining tho Trap-
Eists and retiring from the world. But
ope sustains him still. He believes, if
his boy was not drowned, that Provi
dence will take pity on him and yet re
store him. Vain delusion! But we
humor him in his hope. Ho has since
devoted his whole life and soul to his
regiment; but tho wound at his heart
has never healed, and when it breaks
out afresh he becomes sad and sor
rowful and talks about presentiment.
"La Severina, I believe, has kept her
word and wreaked a terrible revenge!"
Brisac finished his story and wished
all good night.
"We have six hours for sleep, my
boys, and then !"
On the morrow, at the early hour of
six o'clock, a double line of smoke ex
tended for a distance of two miles on
each side of the plain. The French
had brought almost all their guns into
action. Tho Austrian batteries posted
on the opposite hills replied with a well
directed lire. In this artillery duel,
which lasted for some hours, the ad
vantage remained with the French. The
superiority of the Austrian position was
more than counterbalanced by the
deadly effect of the rifio guns of tho
French, which wero first employed in
warfare at the memorable battle of Sol
feriuo. The carnage was frightful and
the result disastrous to the Austrians,
who were obliged to retreat
At three o'clock on that day 23d
June, 1850 tho French were formed
up to advance under a withering mus
ketry fire to assault the Tower of Sol
ferino, the key of the cnomy's position.
Marshal Benedeck then called on his
cavalry to make a supreme effort,
which, had it been successful, would
have changed the fortunes of the day.
The Austrian cavalry wero massed be
hind a fringe of wood which effectually
concealed their movements from the
French. Suddenly they were seen to
emerge from their shelter and to pre
pare lor a determined charge, to take
in flank those battalions which had al
ready reached the slopes of the hills.
General Niel saw the danger, and im
mediately hurled against them the Mar
Sierite division of cavalry, in which
e Valmont1 s Light Dragoons charged
in'the first line.
The shock was terrific! The ele
ments contributed to swell the frightful
storm of war. Peals of thunder bel
lowed forth and vivid lightning played
over the ghastly sight beneath.
It was after the delivery of the charge
"home" that Colonel de Valmont sud
denly saw rise before him about a doz
en hussars, in white, of tho Archduke
Albrecht's regiment Led by a young
Lieutenant with fair hair and a budding
mustache, they sabred the French
drajroous with maniacal fury, making
their way through them like a cannon
ball. With one' bound of his horso the
Lieutenant was at the Colonel. De
Valmont saw his sabre flash as he raised
it to cut him down. He had only time
to pull the trigger of his pistol and the
Austrian fell, killed by a bullet in the
forehead.
At the end of the engagement Colonel
de Valmont, returning to camp, passed
over the scene of the conflict The
body of the Lieutenant still lay there
on its back. A thin trickle of blood
marked the spot of the bullet-wound.
The face of the young officer was as
calmand placid as a child asleep. De
Valmont gazed at him with profound
emotion. A few yards off somo dis
mounted men were guarding Austrian
prisoners, among whom was an officer
of Albrecht's Hussars. Pointing to the
dead body the Colonel asked:
"Sir, can you tell me the name of that
brave fellow "
"Karl Gottfried," was the answer.
One month after the peace of Villa
franca, Eugene de Valmont returned to
Paris with the army of Italy, where he
found the following letter awaiting his
arrival:
Milan. 6th August, 1858.
Mr Dear Old Friend: You know that I
am still at the Military Hospital here where I
shall remain until all our wounded are re
mored. They brought In the other day aer
cral marauders caught by our men riding the
dead, and on somo of them who tried to
escape they fired. Among them was an old
woman disguised as a man. A bed was found
for ber, as she was on the point of death.
I offered my services to dress her wound, and
judge of my amazement when I heard her
amy: You don't remember me. Dr. Brisac.
I am La Severina." Under the withered
features of the woman I recognized your
former acquaintance in Algiers. By what
series of misfortunes she came to be a
despoller of the dead I shall not attempt to
explain. Enough to know that before dying
she allowed the priest to communicate a part
of her confession, and, as I have for long
thought, she it was who stole Lucien at- Mar
seilles. After a host of adventures, which I shall
tell you later on. poverty compelled her to
abandon the child at Vienna. She left it to
the charity of tho landlord where she lodged
No.20Uo6enstr.isse and never heard of the
boy after. This address will give you some
trace. Apply at once to the Austrian Em
bassy. Tout a tot. Biusac.
Mad with ioy, the Colonel ran to the
Embassy and explained the object of
his mission. For a fortnight after,
which seemed to him a lifetime, he
lived in a "ever of suspense, and was
going to bed obo night when his valet
ronght him an official letter, with a
large red seal bearing the Austro-Hua-ganan
arms. He read as follows:
MOX81KDB u Comtk: I am instructed by
the Minister for Foreiga Aflalrs to inform

Oa hour afterward the relet entered

.the shoulder, and his master dropped
motionless on the floor.

The First Ice-Palace.
In the construction of this work, built
by the Empress Anna Ivanovna, on the
Neva, 1739, the 'simplest means were
used. First, the purest ana most trans-
tarent ice was selected. This was cut
nto large blocks, squared with rule
and compass, and carved with all the
regular architectural embellishments.
No cement was used. Each blo k when
ready was raised to its destined place
by cranes and pulleys, and just before
it was let down upon the block which
was to support it water was po:ired
between the two; the upper block was
immediately lowered, and as' tho water
froze almost instantly, in that intensely
cold climate, the two blocks became
literally one. In fact, the whole build
ing appeared to be, and really win. a
single mass of ice. The e:lect it pro
duced must have been infinitely more
beautiful than if it had been of the most
costly marble its transparency and
bluish tint giving it rather the appear
ance of a precious stone.
In dimensions, the structure was fifty
si feet long, eighteen feet wide, twenty
ouc feet high, and with walls three feet,
in thickness. At each corner of the
palace was a pyramid of the saruo
height as the roof, of course built of ice,
and around the whole was a low pal
isade of the same material. The actual
leugth of the front view, including the
pyramids, was one nunarca ana iout
tecn feet
Tho palace was built in the usual
style of Russian architecture. Tho
facade was plain, being merely divided
into compartments by pilasters. There
was a window in each division, which
was painted in imitation of green mar
ble. Tho window-panes were formed
ot slabs of ice, as transparent and
smooth as sheets of plate-glass. At
night when the palace was lighted, the
windows were curtained by canvas
screens, on which grotesque figures
were painted. Owing to the trans
parency of the whole material, tho
general cfl'cct of the illumination must
have been line, the whole palace seem
ingly being filled with a delicate pearl v
light The central division projected,
and appeared to be a door, but was in
fact, a large window, and was illumina
ted like Aie others. Surmounting tho
facade of the building was an orna
mental balustrade, and at each end of
the sloping roof was a huge chimney.
The entrance was at the rear. At each
side of the door stood ice-imitations of
orange-trees, in leaf and flower, with
ice-birds perched on the branches.

Antlers for Ornaments.
"Where do you get such big deer
antlers as those?" said a young man to
a black-eyed, curly-banged girl in a
taxidermist's store in Williams Stree'.
He referred to a pile on tho walk. The
girl dropped a crow blackbird, which
she was flaying, and said:
"Those deer horns grew on elks in
Montana. They are not very largo if
compared with others."
Tbo young man was directed to an
adjoining room. A red-mouthed polar
bear, with paws wido apart, greeted him
on one side as he opened the door, and
a leopard, with arched back and
knotted muscles, seemed to snarl at him
on the other. Overhead, hanging from
a tangled mass of whitened horns, and
on every side of the room,
there was a throng of monkeys, squir
rels, birds and animals of a huudred
varieties, all in attitudes which looked
as if the old baboon in the corner, witii
his fingers to his lips, had checked them
in the midst of a wild carousal on the
entry of a stranger.
"Horns are just now very fashion
able. Such things vary from year to
year. Last December we sold a hundred
pairs of antlers," said tho girl.
"How much did you get a pair?"
"From three dollars for a pair of
small Virginia deer-antlers to thirty
dollars for a five-foot spread of elk's,
and forty dollars for a pair of magnifi
cent moose shovel horns."
"Did that include the stuffed head?"
"No. Mounted head and all. moose
or elk horns bring sixty dollars and
seventy-five dollars. Those animals are
dying out very rapidly."
"What is the very latest thing in the
line of wall ornaments?"
"A wild boar's head. We have just
received a barrel full of tho skins.
When properly mounted they look de
lightfully vicious, and sell for thirty
dollars."
"KeeDS the Dronrietor nrettv bnsv to
supply the trade, doesn't it?" said the
young man, hearing work upstairs.
"Yes. He employs eighteen hands
besides me."
"And what can you do?"
"I can flay more than 400 birds aday
for use as hat ornaments."
"Are the wages high?"
"As high as the skill of the operator.
The men who can show the muscles of
an animal and place it in striking and
natural positions get from fifty dollars
to sixty dollars a month." N. Y. Sun.
Why Eyes Shine.
Place a child (because the pupils of
children are large), and by preference
a blonde, at a distance of ten or fifteen
feet from a lamp which is the only
source of light in a room, and cause it
to look at some object in tho direction
of the lamp, turning the eye you wish
to look at slightly inward toward the
nose. Now, put your own eye close
behind the lamp-flame, with a card be
tween it and the flame. If you will
then look close by the edge of the
flame covered by the card into the eye
of the child, you will see, instead of a
perfectly black pupil, a reddish-yellow
circle. If the eye happens to be
hypermetropic, you will be able to see
the red reflex when your own eye is at
some distance to one side of the flame.
This is the true explanation of tho
luminous appearance of the eyes of
some animals when they are in com
parative obscurity. It is simply the
light reflected from the bottom of their
eyes, which is generally of a reddish
tinge on account of the red blood in
the vascular layer of the choroid back
of the semi-transparent retina, and not
light that is generated -there at all.
This reflection is most apparent when
the animal is in obscurity, but the ob
server must be in the light, and some
what in the relative position indicated
in the above-described experiment
that is, the eye of the observer must be
on the same line with tho light and the
observed eye. The eyes of nearly all
animals are hypermetropic, most of
them very highly so, so that they send
out the rays of light which have en
tered them in a very diverging manner.

Ahent Fences.
The legal obligation of the partfes
occupying adjoining lauds, to maintain
partition fences where no prescription
exists, and no agreement has been
made, rests on the statute. The law
relative to division fences is:
1. The tenant of a close at common
law wa-? not obliged to fouce against an
adjoining close unless by prescription
or agreement
2. But if obliged to fence under one
or the other, he was only bound to
fence against such cattle as were right
fully in the adjoining close.
3. If not required to fence against
adjoining land, he was nevertheless I
bouud to keep his cattle on his own '
land.
It may piove beneficial to re'er brief y
to what will constitute "a fen e." sinea
it frequently becomes of pr i-tieal im- I
portance to know. Cf course hat the
farmer chooses to erect on his own land,
can in no way be regulated by law, ua- .
less, perhaps it be a- nuisance, in uring
other people as well as. him-clf. He
may buiid what manner of fence ho
chooses, or none at al1. Iron, stono,
brush, stump, rail, wire, board or a
combination of anv or of all of tIn,co
materials, commonly employed in build- j
ing fences, may be used without viu- .
latinjj law. !m it onlv becomes not us-
sary to consider the law i.i it sppiR-a-cation
to fenros di-. idiug lands owned
by different partie-.
A ditch will sometimes he considered
a fence, as far as boundary lines aro
concerned. It cannot of coarse be re
garded a fence that will protect the
owner's land from trespassers, except,
perhaps under certain conditions when
it is vesy deep or very wide. We" shall,
however, regard it as a common fence,
bounding adjoining estates. If an
owner of land construct a ditch through
it and afterward sell a portion of tho
land bounding tho part sold on tho
ditch, the granteo will take to the center
of the ditch. The ditch. will here bo
regarded a fence in the absence of any
agreement between the parties, and
must bo governed by tho same rules
governing the repairing aud erection of
fences. Like fences, it must bo kept in
condition by either of the parties, pie
serving its width, however.
If one construct a ditch between two
estates, he must exercise care to keep
on his own land, for he cannot lawful ly
cut into his neighbor's soil without his
permission, ami he i-; also obliged to
throw the soil which lie digs out upon
his own land. The same rule applies
to ditches as to fences. If not required
to be done it must be erected on his own
land.
A hedge may also constitute a good
fence; in general, it belongs lo the oc
cupier who has been accustomed to
trim and repair it, and proof of such
act will ho prima faciei evidence of prop
erty in tho hedge. If tho adjoining
owners bo tenants in common of tho
hedge, each has a right to clip and
keep it in repair, but neither can grub
jt up. In the Western States, because
of the scarcity of wood, feuces are
frequently constructed by planting
young shoots which in timo become
sufficient to turn sto.'k, and oftentimes
become so dense as to prevent fowls
from entering the enclosed tract. These
fences are specially sanctioned by law,
but in the East it might be questioned
whether they would bo or not In New
York it has been decided that inasmuch
as zigzag or rail fences have been used
time out of mind, they arc legal fences,
and also that they may occupy as much
land as is necessary each side of tho
strictly mathematical boundary Hue.
Such a fence in contemplation of law is
a fence upon the boundary line between
the adjoining farms, and one half may
be properly placed upon the land of
each owner.
Usually the statute declares what
shall be considered a sufficient fence,
by specifyiug the material of which it
shall be constructed and of what height
it shall be. It is impossible, in brief
space, to give anything more than an
instance. Thus, in Michigan, it must
be four and a half feet high, consisting
of rails, timber, boards or stone walls,
or any combination thereof, or what
ever shall be considered sufficient in
the option of the fence-viewers. Any
structure, in the words of the Indiana
statute, used for the purpose of in
closure, and as such as shall, on the
testimony of skillful men, appear to be
sufficient shall be deemed a lawful
fence. In some States it need only
meet the approval of the fence-viewers,
who are appointed, aud whoso'duty it
is to examine and decide whether
fences meet with the requirements of
the law.
The object of fencing is to provide
against damage caused by domestic an
imals properly restraiuable by a com
mon fence. The owner of land en
closed by a fence is not obliged to pro
vide against the entrance of animals so
small that they may pass through or
under an ordinary fence, nor against
such wild animals as would break
through an ordinary fence. U an ani
mal break through a sufficient fence,
and trespasses on another's land, the
owner is liable for the damage done. It
was decided in Missouri that when a
'buffalo bull breaks through a fenre, tho
owner of the land might kill him to
protect his property from dcstiuction,
although the fence was not built in
strict accordance with the requirements
of the statute. But this was the case of
a wild animal. It is not ordinarily law
ful to kill animate which are trespass
ing on one's land. At most the owner
of the land can only drive them oft' or
impound them. Only by statute can
the owner of cats and dogs be mado
liable for tresspasses committed by
them.
Where there is neglect to build a
fence where one is required, the party
so neglecting will be liable for any in
jury occurring in consequence of his
negligence. The rule is analogous to
the one requiring an open and danger
ous culvert or pit near the public high
way to be fenced, if it be at all likely
that passers-by will be liable to fall in
and be injifred. Unless this is done,
.the person opening the pit may be sub
jected to heavy damages. Addison O.
McKean, in Country Gentleman.
' They Shook,
At Toledo a sharp-looking young
man boarded the Detroit-bound train,
and after looking over the passengers
in one of the coaches he took a seat be
side a traveler-with a face as honest as
a four-dollar bill. Just as the train was
about to start the young man suddenly
said:
"My friend, I am on my way to De
troit to see my mother die."
"Eh! that's too bad."
"I haven't got any money with me,
but I'll give you my watch for security
if you'll lend mo twenty dollars until
we reach Detroit"
"Let's see toe ticker."
The watch was a galvanized affair,
worth about fifty cents per pound. The

The following cuts
show the pieces of the
Deering cord holder and
kn otter when taken
apart only six in number,

Which when put together are really
only two, as shown in this cut.
A neat little device,
shown in the following
cut has been added to
the Deering Binder for

board, which is adjusted

Makes all the bundles bound by the
Deering square at the butts, thus not
allowing any of the grain to slip out

who cannot do better than
shown in this cut.

Of the Deering Knotter it can truly be
said that it is no complication, no getting
