Whorq limy wandering boy tonlnlit , The child of my icwieiMt cure ? Go , hi-lnit him to mo with nil Ills blight , Uotullmin lie still U dour. So sang the prisoners in the county Jnll last Sunday afternoon , and so they slnu every Sunday. They love that old hymn do the erring ones , thut old hym with its tender implication nnd gcntlo p.ithos. They love It , nnd every Sunday when llov.V. . A. Llpo of the city mission , and the many good ladles of the. city who nro Interested In missionary work In Omaha , gather in the jail and prepare - pare In hold religious services with them , they always ask for this hymn , and after thut they like losing : "Christ Kculroth nliiful inon. " Ilcllglous services liavo been conducted in Joe Miller's ' hostelry on the summit of the hill'of ' Justice for a number of years In a desultory manner , but , moro than u half your ago , the relief committee of the Omaha city mission , with Mrs. J. B. Jnrdlno at the hcud , took hold of tlio work of malting an effort to Inspire tlicso imprisoned ones with religion in earnest , and to nssiat thorn they called upon Uev.V. . A. Llpo. Mr. Lipo labored In the Father's vineyard In Omaha during Its curliest nnd crudest dnvs. Ho came hero In 1873 and was pastor of the English Lutheran church m this city until ISM ) , when Ids wlfo became 111 , which compelled him to scolc another cllmato. His wlfo died seven months ago and ho came back to Omaha and becuino engaged in Uio work of the city mission , and , assisted by the ladles of tlio mission began holding services In the county Jail. Tlicso services occupy the hour between 1 nndli o'clock of every Sunday afternoon. They arc divided into two departments. Mr. LIp , assisted by Uev. J. J. H. Keedy , con- ducts Uio services uuiore tlio long time pris oners and the hardened crimi nals , \vhllo tlio ladles hold similar ( services for these prisoners who are held Tor a short tlmo only. The latter ser- vioo.1 are generally led by Mrs. Jardluo. These ambassadors of the Lord are always received very kindly by the prisoners. If Uiey don't consider the visitation ono of bcnollt to their spiritual natures they cer tainly deem it n break from the dull monotony ony of thelry every day existence. Thu services nro always opened with sing- ingof lijmns , and this iho prisoners seem to enjoy to the fullest. Copies of "Tho Gospel Hymns" nro distributed anjongst them and thov select the hyrnns they deslro to sing , Tno lirst choice Is the hymn above referred to. It seems as though they never would tire of that old hymn , and it bus been noticed that all the hymns they select are pathetic lu their nature. Twenty minutes are devoted to the singing of hymns , nnd then a short prayer Is said. A few of tlio prisoners kneel during the solemn invocation , but a majority of thorn simply sit upon the benches with bowed heads. 'They keep very quiet during this portion of ( lie service , nnd In f nei throughout It all there is the best of behavior upon the part of tlio audience. There is a total absence of levity , and 110 Indication of any desire to scoff at tlio doctrines held forth. The prayer Is always short , nnd after that testaments are distributed and the prisoners and visitors alternately read n chapter. After that , ilr. Llpo indicates the Roneral scope of the ohnpter and addresses the prisoners upon It for about twenty min utes. utes.All All this Is purely a work of love for sinful men. men.No largo nnd cultivated audience Is there to laud the words of the speaker ; no massive organ peals forth in sonorous tones the en- deuce of the hymns ; and , back of It all , there is no fat salary awaiting the preacher. H is dinicult , Mr. Lipo aays , to Judge of how much good is done by this work. IIo thinks tlio hearts of some men huvo been touched , but at the same time , In his opinion the Instances when lasting impres sions hnvo been made nro very rare. All the prisoners , with ono exception , listen patiently to him whoa ho talks to them Indi vidually , but at the sumo tiino ho can feel that no deep and lasting Impression is being made. The exception is the murderer , Ncal. wlio has no patience with the efforts made by these geiitlo men nnd women to soften his re bellious heart. IIo actually seems tocaro ueltner ( or man , God or devil. I'limchhiB to men Incarcerated for crimes Is a different thing from preaching to an or dinary congregation , Mr. Lipo talks very plainly to thorn. IIo does not attempt to disguise the fact that they are prisoners hold there for wrong they hnvo done their fellow men. Ho speaks very plainly but kindly to them andliasfound that to ho the best way. After the services the prisoners crowd around the preacher und these assisting him with requests for boolcs aud papers nnd nil manner of things , oven money. They are by no means modest In their demands either. At times some of them cull upon the pcoplo engaged In the work after they have been re leased from custody , and , beginning by telling of the good the services have done them , wind up by nsldng for money to got away from town and they generally got it. There are not many conversions made In the county jail on Sunday afternoon , but sonic good is being done and the men and women connected with the work are willing to keep on Tor the sake of doing thnt little. There Is ono thing about the services , the congregation Is always there rain or shiuo. everybody about the county jail goes to church on Sunday afternoon even Joe Milter. Milter.A. A. Flourlsliliij ; Sunday School. Last Sunday night the children of West minster Pi-csbytorlan church celebrated the third year of tholr organization , A very largo audience was presant. The church was beautifully decorated with llowors. The mooting was presided over by Mr. AVnrrcu Swlt/lcr who has been president of the school over since it was organized. Appropriate and Interesting addresses were made bv Mr. I' . L. Porino and llov. Dr. McMillan. Then fol lowed a highly interesting musical and llt- ciary programme which the children enjoyed During the three years of Its existence the school has grown mightily and now has a very largo numberof regular attendants.

The Sisters of Mercy have secured another tract of latin for their now orphanage , having exchanged the pleco donated by Dlshop O'Connor ' , and which proved unsuitable , for another tract In Unison's addition , which Is perfectly adapted to the purposes for which it Is to bo used.

"Then I have been accused of infidel ity , though I say : A mouse is miracle enough to stagger sex- tilllons of iniUlols. "Francis Howard Williams of Gor- mantowii wi-oto mo the other day some thing that pleased mo very much. He wrote : " ' has been deal of 'Thoro a howling and shuddering conventionally about you , dear Walt ; a deal of holding up of hands In shocked amazement the dear pcoplo all the while forgetful of the fact that in reading Whitman they wcro looking into a clear mirror which showed them the rollection of themselves and whieli didn't ' make them look prettier simply because the mirror wits not cracked ! And amid all this thunder-shower of vituperation you calmly went on your way , saying : " 'I do not trouble my spirit to vindi cate Itself or bo understood. I see that the elementary laws never apologize. ' " 'Today there m-o signs that the vin dication lor which you waited thirty-five or forty years has come , and in the right way from without. And it 1ms come from these compelled thereto by Inex orable truth.1 "I see , " snld Mr. Whitman , "good sense in what was suid by John Herbert Clifford , n Germnntown Unitarian , who called mo prophet and bard , and who quoted Voltaire as saying that if God did not exist man must invent Him , und that old concern to take euro of God goes with modern nrouintlnir to take care of man. Tuko euro of man and God will take care of Himself ami of men's ' substi tute for Him. Whitman's God Is Cosmic. Tlio daring poet who sings himself u Cosmos has not far to sing his God , nor Ineksfor equal mind to celebrate the gifts of life and death. " The old poet paused awhile nnd then continued : " 1 hail a mission as I under stood it , and I was true to it. Why wusto more words ? But I will merely add that iu Lewes' 'Life of Goethe' I roadjon Uio 30th day of November , 188-1 , Bomo words which touched mo nearly words evidently Goethe's own , though Lewes docs not credit thorn to Goethe , These sentences may bo a key to tho'So who like mo but say they don't under stand my books.

But the very thing which constitutes the pout Is that ho banishes from himself everything which reminds him of un artificial world that ho muy restore nature in hov primitlvo simplicity. And if ho lists done this ho Is thereby absolved from all laws by which n perverted heart seeks security against itsolf. IIo Is pure ; ho is inno- cout , nnd whatever is permitted to inno cent nature is permitted also to him.

METHODS EMPLOVED IN THE FOUNDRIES , Iron From l'ig' and Scrnp Until It Finds Kent ill tlio Casting Tlio Uattlef nnd the Crlmllug Iloek Pnint. While the average Omahnn Is walking upon the shady side of the street , drinking cooling draughts at the soda fountains , or protecting himself from the smcltcring rays of a July sun by carrying nn umbrelU over his head , his mind scarcely , If over , rovcrti to the 115 men , who , down at the foot of Cms street , in the foundo' of the Union Pacific , labor from 7 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'doclc lu the afternoon , six dnys in each week , over the great kettles of melted iron and brass. Time and again the phco has been termed the second edition of hades , and , as you stand upon the green nnd shady bluff * over looking the city and watch the great clouds of black smoke aa they nro vomited forth from the towow above tha llery furnaces , you are soon convinced that the place in no wlso belles its name. For twenty-four years , during the rains of summer and the snows of winter , an army of workmen , carrying thcli1 llttlo dinner palls have dally p.issed through the outer gates and Into the workshop where the tempera ture is never below 145 degree- * . A foundry Is always an intorojtlng place to visit , but this ouo Is doubly so , on account of the fact that herein uro manu factured all of the castings , with the exception of car wheels , that the Union Paeillo railroad uses in operating its great system. As you enter the foundry you are struck by the appearance of the M. > men who arc 0111- ployod , not because there Isanythlngremavk- able about them , only that they nro clothed in the lightest possible garb , consisting only of a gauze shirt , a pair of duck overalls and The general foreman , Ed Hlchllleu. one of nature's noblomcn , is lu charge , and holds the position to which hu was promoted eight years ago , having coino up from the ranks of the fovco of laborers , Mr. Hlchllleu is re sponsible for every pound of material that pusses In or out of the foundry , nnd so iiccu- rnto is ho in his methods of Uolng business that when he niado his last annual settlement with the company the accounts of both bal anced to a cent. Should you deslro to visit the foundry the first features of interest are the furnaces , ono of which is capable of melting twenty-nine tons of Iron every eight hours , and the other eight tons within the same length of time. The process of melting Iron is something that always commands attention , notwith standing thai it is perfectly simple. The iurnaco , or cupola , as it is moio prop erly styled , Is a Inure lire-brick chimney , tow ering high above the roof of the building , with an iron covered door ten feet above the ground lloor , Kiteh morning when the first whistle blows the "stokers" or men whoso duty it is to operate the funmco arrive upon the scone. A layer of colto is passed through the feeding door nnd spread upon the lire-clay base of the cnpalo. The next stop Is to cover this with a layer Df pig iron , then a layer of coke and another layer of pig-Iron and so on until the cupalo is tilled up to the door ; the pro ] > ortlon being ono ucunil of coke to avery nine pounds of iron. Fire is then lighted at the buso of the cu- l ilo ; the blast , which is furnished by a huge ran , operated by au engine located in unothor [ i.u-t , of the building , is turned on and in ton minutes the melted Iron , which Is about the consistency of mica , begins to ilow. The molten mass is drawn Into the crnno Indiewhich holds three tons , nnd is swung to a distance of twenty feet from tbo mouth of tbo furnace and placed upon the ground. Two men tnko a small ladle witli a long iron Immllo on each side and lowering it into the InrrfO ladle dip the liquid iron out with the same indirfcrcnco as you would dip a cup of water from u bucket. This is poured into small ladles holding from ono tothreohundrcdpoundscach. After liltoration those ladles are seized by three men , who grasp them with long-handled tongs mid carry them to such places as John Shane , the foreman , may direct. Each afternoon , after the blast has been drawn off , the tuoldon have full possession of the foundry. Mr. Hichllieu hsuj informed his men what castings ho wants made during the next uay. The molders go to the pattern room mentioned In last Sunday's DKK , whore , in wood , cau bo found duplicates of every piece of casting used in the construction or repairing of nny kind of machinery used in operating the road. After selecting these patterns the men cheese their "lloors , " which are the spaces they are to occupy in working their molds , thuaizooftho lloor depending upon thu size of the casting to bo made. The inoldcr having selected his "lloor , " elves a signal , his helper wheels in u barrow of sand , not the ordinary river sand , but n line black loam which is found at Sherman , the most elevated * the Union Pacific sta- cions , in Wyoming. This earth is mixed with paste , much as the housewife kneads her broad , and when the mixture lias been thor oughly worked it is shoveled in ton square oox and pressed down. The wooden model is then pressed into the box of sand and auother similar box of sand is placed ou top in order .to got the reverse side. The two boxe.s stand iu this position for a few moments , while the molder makes a mold for another cast ing. After the llrst 1ms "set , " the boxes are carefully removed Uio model taken out and the cavity thus formed sprinkled with ground coal dust. This mold , which is called 11 "Husk , " is then set away uud lu the morning it is ready to ro- ccivo the melted iron. If the casting to bo made bo a large ono , such as a cylinder for an engine , a bridge column or a draw-head , the mold is made and sanded , alter which it is put upon a truck and wheeled into a bake oven , which is heated to 2S5 degrees , where it remains several hours , oruntil it istheroughlycooked. To some it is a mystery how they cast a hole , such as you will Uud in columns or brdlgo plates , or in car wheels , for Instance , but this process Is simple when understood. There is a man whoso business is simply to make cores , and , in ono end of the foundry , over a bencli which U covered with patterns , ho works tram early morn until the blowing of the afternoon whistle warns him that It is time to cease his labors. On ono sldo ho has u pile of yellow sand un the other a kettle ol common Hour paste. Jio has a wooden mode of every hole that is to bo made in every cast ing that goes out of Ilia foundry , and , if tlio foreman tells him -that u certain number o : hollow braces nro tex \ cast , that means thai ho Is to make that number of cores. The mixture of sand and p-isto goes Into the mold where it rqnmins until it sets , after where ills placed in the oven to cook. The cooking process complete , the cone is * read } to bo turned over to tho. moulder , who places it tu its proper position in the llaskho has prepared , nnd , when this h ready to receive the iron , the melted mass runs around it , nnd after being cooled thofcnnd is readily shakei out. out.In the morning the , flasks are ready , and as soon as the men reach the foundry the lira thing to do is to nrr'ungo them about the "lloors , " where theyivill bo the most con venlent to reach , th largest ones being near cst tlio furnace. A nmull funnel-shnpo hole is bored into the top of ruch Hash that the Iroi may enter. As soon as the blast begins to rut there is n continuous hurrying to and fro , us men dart hero and there carrying away the ! kettles of melted irou or returning with empty ones. The process of pourin , is the same ns tha employed by boys when they cast bullets The ladles are tipped over tlio funncl-shape < holes and the whole Interior of the ilask i tilled. That flaws may not occur , a helpe with a rod covered with line clay goes among the flasks and pumps them that is , h plunges his rod into tlio melted Iron a dozen or more times , which drives it into all th crevices , manlng a perfect casting. When the HUSKS linvo been filled tlio worl of the day ceases and the doors nro closed t nil except the molders , -who begin propuru tions for tlio next day. The cooling prrxxws is nn important one , as the iron must not cool too rapidly , nor must 1 cool too slowly. If it should It would not hav the right temper. To rojulato tlila me with ordinary pnrilon sprinklers ro con- tnntly moving about the "Hoors" pourltiR utcr upon the boxes of soiuo which contain 10 red hot calling. An Iden prevails thnt water poured upon his Iron will produce nn explosion , but this dea Is u mistaken ouo , as the valor ut once inn to steam and no dumnffo results , llut , liould n drop of tlio incited Ironfall upon u votspoton the giound , or should n llttlo ntw llnd its way into ono of these flasks , nd the Iron then bo poured la , n most tprrlllo xploslon would follow. It U snld that half in ounce of water hi n Ilask , into which one uindrod pounds of Iron would bo poured , vould produce an explosion , which , la force , vould equal ten pounds of dynamite. When cooled off , nnd out of the boxes of and , the castings p.ro not ready for use. bo- auso they nro still rough mid Imperfect , 'ho larger ones nro turned over to n K'uuj of non who go over them with chisels , romov- ng all knots and rough places. The smaller lies urcj handled In a different muimor , nnd ire gathered up and tnUon to n small build- ng , just back of the foundry , where , with ns ot of Iron clinkers , they are placed i a "rattle.11 The "rattle" Is ( bout the size of a largo barrel , the aside being corrugated. This is et lu motion , revolving at n rapid rnto. Vftcr this rotary motion hat been kept up fern n liflur or more the "rattle" is opened and ach casting cornea out as bright uud smooth s though it had passed through a polishing inclilue. The eastings miula nro not of new iron , either nro thoymado entirely of "semi' ' ' " 'hey nro one-third new and two-thirds scrap , vhlch is considered equally as good , for nil iractlcnl purposes , us though all now pig ron had been used. The breaking of the scrap Iron Is nn Inter- isting feature. Back of the foundry In n box , wo feet square n car load of old car wheels , tovoi or other worn out articles , is thrown. V machine something like a pile driver Is wung over the box , the engine started , anil hammer weighing 1 , 'JOO pounds and striking ovcnty-llvo blows per niluuto begins to porato upon the pile. This con- luiies for half nn hour , and the vholo mass is pounded until it Is broken Into lieecs small enough to place into n wheel- > unwv and be carried away. The foundry baa been considered by some as an unhealthy place , but statistics show his to be false , because during the past ten ears the death rate lias been lower tluin in ny of the other departments of the hops. Where It would bo sup- > osod thnt accidents would be f frequent occurrence , there have been coni- uiratlvely few. AVhllo the brass foundry Is run In coiinpc- lonwith the Iron foundry , it i * upon alto gether n different plan so far as its cupola uul oilier features , as well as itsiutoaso heat , ire conceonod. In this department ten men are employed , ight of whom mold nndopemtotho furnaces , vtillo two prepare the llasks. The brass , vhlch is formed by adding n certain amount if tin to a certain amount of copper Is placet ! n crucibles , kettles of llro dav , holding from l.r > to 1S5 pounds each. The.so kettles nro iluccd low in a direct draft furnace. As soon is thu mixture they contain is molted they ire lifted out with tongs mid the melted iquld is poured into the llaslcs. After t'ool- ug , the castings nro dressed and then sent tone no car shops , where they are polished and silver plated , ready for USD ou locomotives and la passenger coaches. The amount of material used in the two foundries is simply enormous , as last month , vhilo they were miming light , ll-li,0X ( ( ) xjunds of Iron and 77 , . " > 00 pounds of brass wcro converted into now castings. Kim in connection with the foundries Is mother department , which is so closely ai led thnt it is under the same roof and under he same suporlntendency. The dull rod paint that is so familiar upon the freight cars and depots of the Union Pacific road is all manufactured In the little building where the rattles are In operation. This is not mint , but is a rock containing Iron ore and is 'ound in Oregon. It is brought hero In its natural state nnd is broken up by passing .hrough a crusher , after which It goes into n nill which looks much like these the fanners use la grinding corn. In this It is reduced until it Is about as coarse as com meal , after which it is shoveled into unothor mill where t is ground ns Hue ns Hour. Then it Is piulced .n bags and kegs and is ready for shipment ilong the lino. When zulxud with oil it makes a first class cheap paint. In this de- five men are employed and their products consist of ono ton of paint per day. THE ISltVSTHX.il FIELD. Horseshoors in Now York got $4 a day of nine hours.

"When 1 was ) n boy 1 lived at Shopinifd's ptirk , Roekland county , and ncniby was a good stream well stocked , with fish. "Whenever I eiuiR'ht a moss which was very often my father used to insist that I clean and scale them at 11 distance from tbo house , nnd my hubit was to thus prepare the day's catch on the bunks of tlio htreani buforo rot urn- ing homo. Ono day while thus engaged a largo black snake appeared.from under a huge rode near by , and , approaching 1110 , made a deliberate meal on the dis carded portions of the lish. Ho then ro- tired. The next day ho came again , and after that he fell into tlio habit of waiting for me , The snot whore I moored tlio dingy from which I angled WHS the ono selected by mo for cleaning1 the fish , nnd after a few days of familiar friendship Mr. lUacksnnko vcnturod into the dingy and went a fishing with mo. After that ho became my regular companion , but many generations of op- prusaion had made him silsp'clousiof my race , and if I made a violent motion ho was over the side In a second and swim ming ashore for dear life like an ani mated corkscrow. On such occasions I invariably found him waiting for mo with an appetite sharpened by his bath. "J do not know how intimate womight have become but for the sad sequel which cut short bis earthly career. One day I was called away , and during my absence two neighbors repaired to the bank of the stream with the Intention of doing a little fishing from the dingy. As they approached it a largo "bhtcksnnko wriggled up to thomiiin confidential manner. While ono of them was nearly paralyzed with fear the other raised a heavy atone and , letting it full , my harmless companion was no more. I am an old man now , but I never prized _ iv friendship more than that , and to this day I have not forgiven the man who killed my friend. " Drs. Merrill & Merrill. Sri < ; CIYliIKT8 Clironlo.
