FIRST TRAIN. About 800 passengers came
into this city on the first regular through pas
senger train from St. John, which arrived here
promptly on time last night. Over hundred
of these passengers were for the Maine Central
Railroad, most of whom took the night express
The train also brought large quantity OF bag
gage and freight. Bangor Wing, 18th.
The storm of the 18th was aterrible hurric ane
along the Nova Scotia coast. At Halifax the
wharves We're flooded, buildings blown down
and vessels wrecked. Thirty vessels were
ashore in the harbor and many lives lost.
1t is matter of keen regret that Hon. Johr
A. Poor could not have lived to see the com
pletion of the European Il N. American Rail
road, of which he was unquestionably the orig
inator, and largely the promoter.

STILL ANOTHER ACCOUNT

Mr.. Abel Palmer cousin of Potter Palmer,
the Chicago miionaire), who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the topography and population
of Chicago, furnishes the following: On Satur-
day afternoon several small alarms of fire were
sounded, but none amounted to much until
about 10 o'clock. At II, we looked out of the
windows and saw the sky crimson with the re-
Election from the flames, and at midnight the
glare lit up the streets and even sent brilliant
flame over the lake. Everybody in the Ire
mont House was up all night, fearful of what
might happen. All day Sunday the excitement
continued, but it was not until night that the
worst came. From the roof of our hotel we
looked over the doomed city. A strong wind
was blowing at the time, and yet the flames
seemed to 60 IN all directions, like an expand
ing scythe moving great and increasing.swaths
with frighttul rapidity. We could think of
nothing else but hell. The flames were in
some places like huge waves, dashing to and
iro, leaping up and down, turning and twisting,
and pouring now and then a great column OF
smoke and blaze hundreds of feet into the air,

For all the murders they had wrought.

To feel their madn ming fatal power

Bend thy psoud brow meath sorrow 3 stroke;
For eyes in mourning can not right
The hundred hearts which thou hast broke.
With rare old scent of sandai-wood,
Perfume each soft fan.wafted breath,
Oh, would your fan might watt away
The woes that harrassed hearts to death
While sculptured hands with pearls bedect,
How could you deal such cruel blows!
For, Oh the blood of wounded hearts
Ger I'll your fatal fairness lows.
Sweep upward, jet-frinSed lids OF snow
And look thy past within the face
SAY, can'st thou trace one single light

As beauty's fall from its high place:
Charms formed to elevate, inspire,
Made tools to ruin and disgrace.

hair is of that peculiar hue that field of
ripe wheat throws toward the setting sun.
Her eyes send forth light so effulgent and
magnetic that strangers become spellbound
under its influence, and stand rudely gazing
Her cheeks bear bloom like the sunny
side of an early peach. A pearl would
seem almost black beside her teeth. Her
form is so graceful that men worship her

mate her presence, and when she laughs
