A Washington dispatch of Friday.
says
The Wawassett investigation was
closed this afternoon, 80 far as the ties
timony was concerned, and the com.
mission announced that they would
proceed at once TO make mp their re.
port. Fifty or sixty witnesses were
examined, but IL was impossible TO as
certain the cause of the fire. The re.
suit of the investigation may be
summed up az follows:
l. IL is shown that neither the can
tain nor mate of the vessel had the
United States license required by law.
2 Ii was proven that when the fire
was discovered, the engineer was alb
sent from his post, and had been deal
ing out liquor at the bar.
B. That while the certificate of in
spection allowing the vessel 10 carry
only fifty passengers and a crew of fiji
teen, the vessel carried one hundred
and fifty passengers on her last trip.
The officers of the company insisted
that limiting the number of passengers
to % was an error Opposed to this
was the duplicate certificate i'm the
treasury department, and also oath of
the local inspector. Mr.. Saville, who
said he would not have issued Ger.
tiiicate for more than 80. All the wit
nesses agreed that after the fire had
been discovered, the officers labored
faithfully, and did all in their power TO
save the lives of the passengers, but il
was also in evidence that the discipline
on board the boat was bad that the
crew bad never been exercised with
the fire apparatus, and that the me.
taiie life-boat was not IN the condition
that 1t should have been TO meet an
emergency.

The Majesty of Failure.

Sc Failed" Ali that word ares many a tale
unfeld,-
Ship half completed, careless, and adrift;
A book begun, yielded TO dust and mold;
Railroad projected, marble hewn and left
A hymn part written, then the pen laid by -
Der all these wrecks the loud world laughs
with sheer
But he who tails heaves far deeper sian
For what TO their dull eyes does not appear
They see in that white block only rough stone :.
In that incipient verse unmeaning lines
He sees his lost ideal crushed, alone,
The non-ful6lment OF his aim he pines.
He failed because he saw far grander things
In vision than his earthly hand could rear
He failed because has dream outstretched her
wings,
And LETT behind attainment in despair.
Some, being content street organ tunes to
grind,
Pleasing the gaping crowd, rorsooth, sue
coed =
Far better, mute before the unattained.
Pursuing still, still see the goal recede.
Rather than pander 10 the multitude,
Spirit be brave ScoTn censIire, dare 10 fail.
Upon the western frontiers, wild and rude
Three shanties, clustered in SEINE prairie
vale,
Labeled themselves :" city !" seem 10 saw.
Stranger, judge Us by what we aim 10 be .
Judge men by aim let purpose lar outweigh
Chance deed, that may not with the intent
agree.
When Tyres are hushed, men scorn the half
sung lay;
The grand unwritten hymn no mortals see.
Let others bend TO take the rabblo's bays.
Receive the homage OF the passing hour:
Thy glory waits, reserved for coming DAYS
Through present failure reach thy future
power.

Escape of Four Lions.

The Anglo-American Circus of
Messrs. Bell & Hutchinson arrived at
Hal, in Belgium, on July 90, intending
to give but one representation. Early
IN the following morning, the servant
who had been sweeping out the larger
cage, with two compartments, in which
the five hons are kept, neglected to
close the door. The lions sprang out,
but one was afterwards frightened back
into the cage. A circus horse standing
near was attacked and seriously wound.
ed by one of the lions.
The lion tanner, Hugh Condael, also
their owner, prevailed upon the citi-
zens and the circus employees not to
fire on his pets. In about three or
four hours the first lion was recaptured
after he had prowled through many of
the streets. The second hon took to
the open country, followed by gen'd-
armes, citizens and the circus men.
Fortunately he entered an aqueduct.
The two issues were guarded, and it
was sought TO make him come out by
burning various materials, but in vain.
At length the lion tanner and circus
employee descended into the aqueduct
and drove the lion out through the
other end into little ditch, where he
was retaken.
Morphine, spread on meat was
thrown to the two still remaining loose
IN the public square. A running moose
was thrown over one of them, and both
were eventually captured.
Nj. Condael's whole fortune was in
vested in these lions, which are worth
about 81, 900 each.

A Humming-Bird Duel.

The other day, as A. Il. Clearwater,
OF this city, was coming down East
Front street, he witnessed novel
battle in the yard opposite the Presby-
terrain church. Two green-backed
humming birds were the combatants,
and the fray lasted seventeen minutes.
The tiny antagonists would dart on

twenty feet or more IN the air, and
then return to the flowers in the beds
for moment or two. where the war

Finally the larger bird apparently be-

quivered, one quick gasp, and the ruby
throated little ole was dead. The

An Exciting Scene.

The Inhabitants of the Boulevard
Pereire, Paris. we're witnesses, a day
or two ago, of chase of the most ex-
citing character. A distinguished
velocipede rider appears every day on
this boulevard, and performs remark
able feats in that line of horsemanship.
He had just bestridden his bicycle, when
cries CT "Out OF the way Kill him
kill him !" resounded through the
streets. The foot passengers darted
into the houses, closing the doors af-
ter them with crash, and the veloci-
pedist was left alone on the road, along
which rushed an enormous dog, with
staring coat, inhamed eyes, and Jaws
bathed in foam. The mastiff, which was
evidently mad, perceiving the bicycle
and ITS rider, instantly bounded after
il, and a clound of dust soon concealed
the details of the chase. The veloci
pedist whirled his machine round and
round, taking as many turns as hare,
but the horrible brute followed him
closely. At lenghth, in dispair he
darted forward at full speed, whensud
denly cry of alarm burst from the
spectators ut the windows. The bicy-
Gle had broken down and the rider had
been thrown senseless to the ground,
whilst the dog, gathering up the re
mainder of his strength, sprang toward
him. But this time the police had
headed the animal, and one of them
cut off it's fore paws with one stroke OF
his sword, just as the furious beast was
about to throw himself upon his vic
tim, who soon awoke from his swoon &c
find himself safe and sound.
