A few days since a party from
this city was out on the bay for a
sail when John perched himself on
the rail of the boat and said :
Charley, do the boys owe you
any" That was all, and the
next second John made a hole in
the water. He don't care now
whether the boys owe anything or
not; and he says that six miles on
the water, with boat sailing at
the rate of ten miles an hour, is q
bad place to enquire after the boys

past week. In the township o.

every precaution to save buildings
Several shanties in the Nine Mile

the fire swept the forests nearly
clean. On pine lands the timber
is much injured, and it will be nee
essary to cut immense quantities

AT the meeting of the Common
Council Monday evening, q resolu-
ton was passed, instructing the
Comptroller to add $4,000 to the
assessment roll Of the city for the
present year, for the purpose of
purchasing another steam Ere en-
CINE.
This we believe to be q step In
the right direction. Every man In
the city knows that we are In need
Of another fire engine; and, in our
opinion, the best way to get one Is
to raise the money by tax to pay
for the machine, without issuing
bonds to run on interest. BY Is
suing bonds for the purpose Of ac-
complishing an object desired, is
only to pay the amount really
necessary nearly twice over, when
this extra expense might be saved

A Balloon Duel.

Perhaps the most remarkable duel
ever fought took place in 1903. 1t
was peculiarly French in its tone,
and could hardly have occurred un-
der any other than French state of
society. NJ. LeGrandpre and NJ. LIE
Pique had quarrel arising out of
jealousy concerning a lady. They
agreed to fight duel to settle their
respective claims, and in order that
the heat of angry passion should not
interfere with the polished elegance
of the proceeding, they postponed
the duel for a month, the lady agree
inc to bestow her hand on the sur
viyor of the two if the other was
killed; ut all events this was infer
red by the two men, if not actually
expressed The duelists were to
fight in the air. Two balloons were
constructed exactly alike. On the day
denoted, LeGrandpre and his second
entered the car of one balloon, lie
Pique and his son that OF the oIner' ;

pistols might hardly have served this

Tbe wind was moderate and kept the
balloons at about their original dis
tance of eighty yards apart When

earth preconcerted signal for firing

SOMNAMBULFsTs have performed
many curious feIts and have accom-
plished dangerous acts at times with
out fatal results, but it remained for
small boy travelling from Milwau-
kee to Minneapolis to do, sleeping,
what no one ever did before. The
boy was son of Mrs. Wright, and,
in company with his mother, was on
train going at the usual rate OF
twenty miles an hour. After the
train had left place known as Wea
yer Station, the boy fell asleep, and
walking out on the platform stepped
carelessly off. No sooner had he ac-
complished this feat than his mother,
noticing his absence from the train,
and remembering also his peculiari-
ty, surmised the cause of his depart
ure, and through her entreaties the
train was backed up. The missing
boy was not discovered, however, and
the mother was left at the station.
She had not long to wait in sorrow.
A figure was seen coming up the
track, and its nearer approach show
ed the missing boy. The search for
him had proved unavailing, simply
because at the time it was made, he
was not visible. As he stepped off
the train in his sleep he had been
hurled into a snow bank and had ac-
tuaIly only awakened when the cold
had called him to his senses. He
could remember nothing of the af-
fair save that he fell asleep in the car
and awoIe buried four or five feet
in Il drift, and being young, he did
not analyze his sensations upon
awakening, which must have been
somewhat queer. The accident is
one of the most remarkable in the
history of sOmnambulism, and if that
boy is not always thankful that he
struck a snow drift instead of rail
fence, he'll be an irreligiols indi-
vidual.

Lady Byron's Answer to Lord
Byron's Farewell"

Yes! farewell-farewell forever,
Thou thyself hast fixed our doom,
Babe hopes fairest blossoms wither,
Meier again for me to bloom.
| Unforgiving thou hast called me
| Didst thou ever say fOTgire9
For the wretch whose wiles beguile,
thee,
Thou alone didst seem to live.
Short the space which time has given
To complete thy loves decay;
By unhallOwed passion driven,
Soon thy heart was taught to stray.
Lived for me that feeling tender
Which thy verse so well can show,
From my arms why dids't thou wander
My endesrments why forego?
oh too late thy breast was barred,
oh too soon to me twas shown,
That thy love once but shared,
And already il is flown.
Wrapt in dreams of joy abiding.
On thy breast my head hath lain,
In thy love and truth eOnfiding,
Bliss | ne'er can know again.
That dark hour did first discover
In thy soul the hideous strain
Would these eyes had closed forever,
Ne'er to weep thy crimes again.
But the impious wish. o, heaven!
From the record blotted be;
Yes, | yet would live, o, Byron,
For the babe I've born for thee
In whose lovely features Qet me
All nv weakness here confess,
Whilst the struggling tears permit me, }
II no fafianr's II phn
He whose Image never leaves me,
lie whose image still prize,
Who this bitterest feeling gives me,
Still to love where | despiSe.
With regret and sorrow rather,
When our child's first accents flow,
| will teach her to say Father,
But his guilt she ne'er shall know.
Whilst tomorrow, and tomorrow
Wakes me from widowed bed,
On anOther's arms, no sorrow
Wilt thou feel, no tear wilt she'd.
the worlds approval sought not,
When | tore myself from thee;
OF its praise or blame | thought not
What's Its praise or blame to me-!
Be so priZed-sO lOved-adored,
From his heart my image drove,
On my head contempt has poured,
And preferred a wanton's love.
Thou art proud; but mark me, Byron,
I've heart proud as thine own;
Soft to love, but hard us iron
When contempt is DER it thrown;
But, farewell I'LL not upbraid thee,
Never, never wish thee ill;
Wretched then thy crimes have made
me,
If thou canst, be happy still.
