"Going away" think you said
With never word for me;
Going away, and I turn my head
In vain, for the sun in the West is dead
All dead on the darkling sea.
Why did he leave me thus? God knows!
weaI y, i think, Of his love;
He left me kiss and anew-plucked rose,
And L for -fancy's sake 1 suppose
Gave him my violet glove.
The ships sail over the sea, know,
Too far for maiden's sight,
The ships sail on, the strong winds blow,
And some to the lands of the Orient go,
And some TO the starless night
I look, and over the waves afar
The white sails flicker and CLEAN,
And The ship rides gayly over the bari
But the night is black with never star,
And my heart is sad with its dream.
Only the dim of the seas far strand,
Only the dark see; 80
For ne left me here by the trodden sand,
With only 70 In my little hand,
And never a word for me

How Rich MEN EyADE TAXES. For the
past five years Boston, a correspondent
says, has had a class Of wealthy men who
find it convenient to move from town just
before the first of May, when the annual
taxes are made up. The board Of alder
men propose to look after these rich men,
and publish their names among the delin-
qaents. The towns to which they emigrate
have no claim upon such men. / know OF
men who have played this dodge year after
year, moving back to the city about the
time the autumn leaves begin to fall. One
man worth 5000, 900, has been repeatedly
known to have changed his domicil from
the city for the purpose of avoiding taxes.
1t is anything but a patriotic prnciice, to
say the least. nc f

A New Prima ponna.
The Paris American Register says:

IHe IarlS American AeglStef says: :.
"a new American prima donna The
marvellous voice of a young American girl
is exciting the wonder of the musical world
in Milan. Her name is ,Avonia Bonney
She has just entered her sixteenth year,
and is prosecuting her studies for the
operate stage in Milan The director of
the Kings Theater at Turin, CHANGED to
make business visit to her maestro at the
very hour appointed for the first trial of her
voice. She sang from s'Ernani, in the
original key, seldom used, as few singers
have the range voice. When she had
finished, the director exclaimed, ssyoung
lady, God has wonderfully endowed you.
In {. short time you will rule the singing
world !" He could scarcely be induced to
credit that she was only fifteen, and had
never had any training but at the conserva-
torres at Boston.
''Soon after this the director of Ike San
Carlo begged Signor Gerli, tne maestro. to
let him hear the 1nuch-talked-of voice.
Signor Gerli. 10 prevent his young pupil
from becorsling embarrassed, concealed the
director in an apartment adjoining the one
where he gave his lessons and left the fair
vocalist in Ignorance that she had an audi
ence. She sang the mad song from Lucia
di Lammermoor. Great was the terror
and amazement of the fair girl herself and
her bewildered mother when, just as the
last notes died away, the door flew open, a
stranger rushed in, caught the youthful vo-
calist in his arms, and, amidst kisses
and embraces, vented his ecstacy in Italian.
'sThe enraptured director was perfectly
astounded at the rare beauty and compass
of that voice; but not less astounded were
the American mother and daughter at the
sudden apparition and fervent demonstra-
ton The above is an extract fora q

Tho Russian Jews.

The Russian Jews, whose transportation
to this country has SO long been threatens
ed, have at last commenced to arrive,
greatly to the embarrassment OF their core
ligionists, who, however, accept the res
possibility. Two or three shiploads have
already arrived, and nine other vessels are
known to have been chartered ~ the
Emigration Committee at Konigsberg. In
view of the helpless numbers thus thrown
on their hands, the Jewish citizens of New
York last Sunday held meeting, at which
steps were taken for collecting means for
their temporary reception, until they can
be dispatched to the West. The congrega-
tions of several synagogues in different
cities have already forwarded contributions,
and all are to be solicited to do SO. The
committee, meanwhile, have again written
to M. Cremieux, the European promoter of
the movement, urging the stoppage OF emil
grafton to America, except of young men
selected in accordance with prescribed
| terms. From over the water, however,
comes the intelligence that new troops of
the refugees continue to arrive at Konigs-
berg from the Russian frontier; that they
are forwarded thence to Hamburg, whence
they are shipped to New York.
A FATHER AND HIS TWO SONS DROWNED ON
SUNDAY MORNING. heart rendlng affair
occurred one mile north of Oakville station,
topposite Catskill, on the Hudson, at eight
o'clock Sunday morning, which resulted in
the drowning of the well-known doorkeeper
of the Assembly in 1869. Mr.. r. A. Decker,
and his two sons. 1t appe RS that the
youngest son, James, awakening in the
| morning before the other members of the
family, went down to the beach in front of
the house and got small boat to play.
Accidentally stumbling he fell out of the
boat into the river. His frantic cries for
/ help were heard by Mr.. Decker, his father,
VINO was still in bed, and who rushed from
the house to save his son. He entered the
water ard waded towards the little fellow,
but whez, he reached him both were SO ex-
hausted that they az once disappeared TO
rise no more. The noise, it seems, also ST
tracted the attention Of Delbert Decker,
another and older soE, eighteen years OF
age, who was also in bed. He, too, hurried
out and waded in, but sad to relate, SEEM
ed to become at once exhausted and sunk.
The bodies of all three were soon after re-
covered. The affair has cast a great gloom
over all classes in ie vicinity. The moth
er and another are left to NOUN their
triple loss.-N Herald, 10tk -

CB" A young man of Patterson, N. j.,

for the arrest of his girl, because she had
rejected his suit. The Recorder took it
for granted that the man was crazy, and
had him locked up in Jail.

sidewalk on Hoboken avenue on Saturday
night with view of knocking peoples hats

ZEE A Texas mail contractor having been
notified by the Post Office Department that
one Gage, mail carrier in his employ, had
been complained of by citizens, replied in
a letter of peculiar orthography, and in
which he stated that he had no information
whether the complaints were against the
manners or the looks of the carrier, but
feared that if it was the mans looks that
were objected to, he would have 'to gov
by the Bord." A photograph of the un-
lucky carrier, which the contractor enclosed
fully sustained this view of the case.

question was, what was her object in
leaving the parental roof? The family
relations had not of late been of the most
agreeable character, owing to her openly
expressed preference for the Kittanning
cousin, but there had been nothing in the
family difference which would justify
recourse to step which the distressed
father and brother now began to regard
as a possible solution of the difficulty
That the girl had left her home to lead
life of shame was theory reluctantly
accepted, but one which, under the cir
cumstances, had many probabilities to
support it. A tour of the houses of pros
titution was made under the direction of
Officer Hager. A couple of courtezans
who had left their homes some time ago
to come to the brothels of the city were
known to the detective, and he regarded
it as probable that the runaway might
have taken refuge with them.
Their residence was ascertained and a
close watch was kept upon the house
without result. They were interrogated
and expressed entire ignorance in the
matter. The search was then ex-
tended to all places of the kind, but no
traces of the lost one could be found
The father and brother became dispirited
and after a week or so spent in the vain
inquiry they returned to McKeesport
leaving orders to have every effort made
from time to time that would give any
promise of favorable result.
The missing girl is yet in her teens
being only in her seventeenth year, SIX
was a very attractive person. and could
lay claim to considerable beauty. Hel
motives and her whereabouts arc equally
a mystery We would suggest that
the search be not intermitted as it is the
only hope of saving her to a future prom
ising enjoyment of responsibility.

PHILADELPHIA, DeC. 10, lOiO.
Mr.. Editor-It really begins to look as if
our city council were frightening up and
trying to place our good old town on an
equality with other live cities. They have
actually passed q bill establishing a "paid
fire department" The bill now only wants
the signature of Mayor Fox to become a
law. With the passing away of the old
organization, we expect not only to get rid
of much of the rowdyism that at present
disgraces the city, but TO have less fires
Another frequent cause of fire is the use OF
poor coal oil, which is frequently sold not
only in the city, but all over the country,
causing great loss of property, and bring
ing desolation and mourning to many a
family. There is, however, remedy fol

A Dark Mystery in Pittsburg.

About the middle of November, Officer
Hager was communicated with by gen
tleman of McKeesport, who advised him
that his daughter had eloped from her
home early the preceding day; that no
trace could be had as to her whereabouts
and expressing his belief that she had
probably fled in the company of a cousin
of hers of Armstrong county, who had
for some time been paying her attention
which had not been countenance by the
family, and who, it was believed, had
been keeping up clandestine correspond
ence.
The father is a well-to-do citizen of
McKeesport and contractor. On the
occasion in question, he had been away
from home for a day attending to some
business. On his return he learned that
his daughter was nowhere to be found
He had thought proper to interdict the
young lady's intercourse with first cous-
in of hers, who lived in Kittanning and
worked at carpentering, mainly on the
ground of the close relationship of the
parties.
Officer Hager was at once on the look
out to discover the whereabouts of the
girl, but Intellectually. No person an
swering to the description given had put
in appearance at any of the public re-
sorts. The father and brother of the
young lady shortly got down from Nc
Keesport, and consultation was held as
to further measures. Finally, the officer
was detailed to go up to Kittanning and
learn what he could of the parties there.
TO his surprise he found the Armstrong
county cousin working as usual at his
trade in Kittanning, and, apparently, per-
fectly ignorant of his cousins elopement.
A careful watch was set upon his move
ments, and Hagar was at length satisfied
that the young fellow had no completely
in his cousins disappearance.
He returned to the city, and the search
was taken up with fresh vigor. Not hay

The proprietors Of private detective
agency in Chicago have been arrested
and charged with various criminal often
ces. 1t is alleged against them that they
had thieves in their employ, whose opera
tions they planned and superintended,
and then negotiated with the owners for
the return of the property which had
been stolen under their own direction
also, that occasionlly they committed bur-
glary on their own account for the purpose
ofturning an honest penny by selling their
services to ferret out the villains. They
even stole dogs for the sake of getting a
reward for their return. The private de-
tective business needs regulating; for
while there are some shrewd and trust
worthy men engaged in it, many of those
who embark in the occupation obtain
their living by exacting blackmail, and
by acting as agents for thieves in the
disposal of stolen property.
