There' a woman like a dawdrop, she's eo purer than the purest; A&3 br noble heart's the noblest, yes, and her sure faith's the surest; And her eyes are dark and humid, like the depth on depth of luster XUd n t harebell, while her tresses, sunnier hwTi tiie wild grape's cluster, Gush In golden-tintea plsnty down her neck's rose-misted marble; Then ue voice's music Call it the well's bubbling, the bird's warble! And this woman says, "My days were sun less and my nights were moonless, Parched the pleasant April herbage and the lark's heart's outbreak tuneless, U roa lored n; not!" And I -who (ah, for words o2 flatne !) adore htr, TTho am mal to lay my spirit prostrate pal pably before her . , tay tnter at htr portal soon, as now her lat tice Akes me, , ii by r ooatide as by midnight make her mine as hers she makes met The match Monopoly of France. Edward King in Boston. Journal Matches, they say, are made In Heaven, Cat the matches -which the government compels us to use here are by no means of celestial origin. Neither can they be said to come from the place where one might the more naturally expect sulphur deposit, for there is so little sulphur upon them that the French, with their usual sharp ness, say thit It takes two gorernment matches to light one. The match trade, like the tobacco ' trade, is a monopoly In France. It is let out to the highest bidder who can give the best guarantees, and he Is protected by all the rigor of the law. A few days ago the concession of the old General Match company, as it Is called, expired. Fresh tenders were reauired, ana these were examined and decided upon the other day. The Importance of the trade can be judged of by the fact that the old company was again given the con tract for the term of twenty years from next January in consideration of the pay ment to the government of the annual sum of ;17,000,OW franca a 'pretty penny. Which will buy many Ilotchkiss guns with Which to harass the unfortunate China men. If the sales go above 35,000,000 of matches in any one year the government is to h&ve 40 per cent on all the sales over that number. The contract may be terminated by either party at the end of each five years, with a years notice in advance. The match Company is to deposit security to the ex tent of 10.000,000 francs. It is also sub ject to a great variety of fines, varying from $1,000 to $5,000, for the production pf inferior articles; but these fines, as you may readily imagine from the above de scription of the matches, are rarely levied. For the information of any Americans who may think that the state can meddle with advantage to the consumer with the sale of such articles as matches and cigars, It may be well to say that the monopoly here fa distinctly a mistake. The people would be far better served, as they are in numerous adjacent countries, if they were allowed to buy what and where they tUzse. The complaints of the cigars ..of fered by the government to the consumer la France are almost universal. Cen. Sickles' Lost Leg. iNew York Tribune. Expellee Commissioner Gen. Duryee was philosophiaice a few days ago over a f4aa of wine. HU thoughts were on the compensations of life, and were suggested by the presence of a most genial little gentleman who has the misfortune to have CO legs. "I have no doubt, " said one who was present, "that the loss of a limb, or the loss of sight or hearing has some sort habits, mode of life, his nature, mode, or disposition. At any rate, I never see a Ume, blind or deaf person that I do not tronder what sort of person he or she was before the loss. n "The case of Gen. Sickles is a double illustration, w said the general. 44 1 happen to know that Gen. Meade strongly con dtmned frirft for disobedience of orders in making the movement which , brought on the battle of Gettysburg; he expressed his condemnation in my hearing; and Sickles would have been court-martialed if he had . not lost his leg in that fight. But he not only escaped court-martial, but found re sewed favor in military eyes by that loss. Moreover, the loss changed Sickles' whole methods of life and his nature in some - degree, making a more serious, earnest man of him. " I recalled and mentioned tht ovr a rmn.flrp Iti Oftnrcrfa. in 1834 Gta. Sickles had told me that he made the movement which precipitated that battle purposely and under the belief that Gen. Eleade intended to retreat from his posi tion. I brought on a battle, " he said, "not a retreat, and it was a victory, but, n he addsd, looking down at his stump of a leg, "I paid very dearly for it. " Anothter Steerable Balloon. ,? Tha French Inventors of a steerable i balloon are, it seems, not unlikely to ha 'r forestalled by German competitors in the tame field of labor. & According to a letter frora Kiel, published by The Cologne Gazette, a Dr, Woelfert has just accom plished there two successful experiments la aerial navigation. The . balloon, like ' that of Capt. Renard, is cigar-shaped. Its cubic contents are 500 meters. If filled with ordinary gas it can carry a load of E30 kilograms, but if filled with hydrogen ras it will take as much as 800 kilograms. A. height of 2,000 meters was attained at each experiment. One of the voyages lasted two and a half hours, during which Dr. Woelf ert is said to have navigated against a northeast wind of t wo or three meters the second. It la stated that a special motor, the nature of which is not described, of five-horse power, is in course of construction for Dr. Woelfert, with which he feela,confident of being able to navigate in the face of strong winds. The weight of thisnachine will be but one fourth of the carrying capabilities of the balloon. Dr. woelfert, it is added, is negotiating with the German admiralty for the establishment of a balloon trial ground and works at KieL Paying for Ills Pass. Boston Transcript.
