WEBB AND BOYTON.
KNIGHTHooD FOR CAPTAIN WEBB RECOMMENDED
BY DISTINGUISHED POET.

From the London Daily News
We publish to- day letter from Mr. II. H. Horne,
commencing that special mark of distinction should
be conferred upon Captain Webb Mr.. Horne's name
entities him to respectful hearing for any suggestion
he may make. We may add that he is himself an ex-
feat then believe almost unexamped of swimming
across the Mena Straits from Carnarvon Castle To
the Isle of Anglesea in rough and
strong current But say that agree
with Mr. Horne in thinking that Captain Webbs feat
would be appropriately rewarded by the honor Of
knighhood 1t is quite true that in the earlier days of
such distinctions they often conferred for eas OF
strength and skill lar less remarkable and creditabe
than that Of Captain Webb. Legend, believe
that the first honor conferred upon the Bucceuch
family was that Of knighthood given to an ancestor
who stouty carried buck up steep height to oblge
a king. Even in recent times VIC have instances
enough of similar titles being suddenly granted
for mere display OF gladiaoral strength. Still
have recently changed all that and our sovercigns
have confined the dignity of knighthood to services
supposed to be of character less distinctly
official We do not by any desire tho gal
liant Captain Webb turned into knight of the modern
If he could be made Knight of the Bath there
might perhaps be some appropriateness in the title
least If in nothing else But think his felloY
countrymen would much prefer that Captain Webb
should remain Just as he is and that he should
chance OF being conounded with the husband OF
Dickens Lady Tippns who was knighted by mistake
That Captain Webb deserves much more substantial
recognition at the hands of his counrymen than nera
barren honor of any kind we fully admit 1t hardly
be, indeed, that such recognition will be wanting
the of the man who has accomplished the greatest
feat of strength, skill and courage these later times
have produced But should be sorry to the
stout swimmer ''translated" into a knight

A gentleman from our distant sister
State of Kansas is visiting in this city
for few days, who drove all the way
from Kansas to New Hampshire in a
top buggy drawn by single horse.
This is Mr.. Thomas II. Kinney, of Wells
vile, Kan. Mr.. Kinney left the fertile
soil of the garden of the West on the 9th
day of October. He carried only what
baggage he could stow away in the bug
gybox, travelling thus in light marching
order. His horse was native Kansas
four-year-old colt. They started out in
the early morning, and travelled three
days without Inconvenience. Then, for
the first time in his life, the horse was
shod. Later on the shoes were taken
off and reset, and afterwaTd en- route he
was shod second time. This was all
the shoeing necessary, The roads were
all sorts, of course, and once or twice, on
account ofrain and other causes, Mr.
Kinney had to stop over for day or SO
at time. But he met with no accident
and accomplished the whole 1899 miles
in fifty-nine days, arriving at Charles.

THE OLD YEAR-lSI.
From the SPECTATOR

From the SPECTATOR
At dead of night the year lies down to die,
With shroud Of snow above his Ice cold breast.
Unwept expires he, but full many n sigh
From hearts that sorrow deeply, lastiDgiy,
Is heaven for those he hurried to their rest.
Mid surge and storm, "La Plata's" gallant crew
Met on the mighty deem their summons home |;
While they who loved them with love how
true,
Heard in the blast that shrieking. round them
blew,
A voice which prophesied their hour had
come.
The cup of some held yet one horror more
An isle of fire amid the ocean rose;
No rescuing ship, no near and friendly shore,
Saved from the raging flames the hundreds four
Whose peaceful lives have met such tragic
close.
Our isle, too, hath It's dangers; perils dread
Dog at each step our unsuspecting way.
The living on a Journey start; the dead
BY scores are on a longer journey led,
To wait, not Christmas,-but the Judgment
Day.
And oh how many souls by sudden call,
Through fell disease, old age, or suffering sore,
This year has summoned hence! the tears that
fall
By beds of death, on funeral bier and pail,
Cease not one hour till time shall be no more.
.Fatherl to Thee we bow. Thy stern DEGREES
Inscrutable to us are. This we know
Thou numberedst each precious hair of these
We mourn; Thou governest fire, blast and seas:
Therefore we trust, though our beloved lie low.

THE MORNING STREET.
BY JOHN JAMES PrArr.

Alone I walk the Morning Street,
Filled with silence vague and sweet:
All seems as strange, as still. rs dead,
AS IL numbered wears had ned,
Letting the noisy Babel lie
Breathless and dumb against the sky.
The light winds walks with me, alone,
Where the hot day fiame-like was blown.
Where the wheels roared, the dust was beat
The dew is in the Morning Street!
Where are the restless throng that pour
Along this mighty corridor
While the noon shinesf-the hurrying crowd
Whose footsteps make the city loud7
The myriad faces, hearts that beat
No more in the deserted street?
Those footsteps, in the dreaming maze,
Cross thresholds of forgotten days;
Those faces brighten from the years
In rising suns long set in tears;
Those hearts-far In the past they beat,
Unheard within the Morning Street,
A city of the worlds gray prime,
Lost in some desert far from Time.
Where noiselsss ages, gliding through,
Have only sifted sand and dew
Yet a mysterious hand of man
Lying on all the haunted plan,
The passions OF the human heart
Quickening the marble breast OF art
Were not more strange to one who first
Upon its ghostly silence burst
han this vast quiet where the tide
Hangs trembling, ready soon 10 beat
With human waves the Morning Street!
Ay, soon the glowing morning food
Breaks through the charmed solitude:
This silent stone, to music won,
Shall murmur TO the rising sun;
The busy place, in dust and heat,
Shall rush with wheels and swarm with 1ees
The Arachne-threads of purpose stream
Unseen within the morning CLEAN;
The life shall move, the death be plain;
The bridal throng. the funeral train,
Together, face TO face shall meet
And pass within the Morning Street!
