By BRET HARTE.

The sky is cIotIled, the rocks are bare,
The spray of the tempest is white in air,
Tile winds are out with the waves at play
And shall not tempt the sea to-day.
The trail Is narrow. the wood Is dim,
The panther ciings 70 the ayching limb;
And the lions wfeIps are nbroad at play
And shall not join the chase to-day.
But the ship sailed safe over the sea,
And the hunter came from the chase in gl@@s
And the town that was built upota rock
Was swallowed up in the eartiiQssake shock.

Democrat says, speaking of Gov. Hay es:
ssTIe is an amiable man, we all know !;
a man of integrity, we are free to allow Il

that is not the sort OF a man we wish for
President at this time, when required in

THE EVE OF INDEPENDENCE.

The Fourth OF July began the right
before. Sunday and Monday passed off
very quietly, the boys holding their crack
ers and fireworks in reserve. hut many of
the shops gave their employees holiday
from Saturday afternoon. About five in the
afternoon of Monday businesswas virtually
at at an end. AT nine In the evening
Broadway was toll of people. in the street
and out of it as thick as they could stand.
The denizens of the east side ot New York
that hide in their lodgings ard workshops
at all times save holidays, came out, the
Germans with wife, children and baby, the
Irish boys and girls, feet-footed and fieeter
tongHed, and stood around cheerful and
perspiring, or sat on steps and cnrbstones,
till the great show should begin that
would be an event in their lives. At nine.
the signal for the illumination was given.
The buildings We're gay and a-flutter with
flags since morning. when Broadway
looked as il all the butterflies of the world
had settled upon its face in ;Ile sun. And
now, looking down The street miles away
where it sinks TO the hafbor. as far as one
could see. calcium light shone, a great
blazing star in the forehead OF the sky. and
below wound a rive: of fire, tossing glitter

among the tall buildings Of Union Square
As spectacle, of unreal aaag4i dcenee, the
effect was exciting and the pro1igal won

A BATTLE ON THE BEASTS.

How Il Lioness aud A Tiger Fought
out an old Qudrrd at Barnum's
Much excitement was created in Bar
NUNS menagerie at Twenty-sixth street
and Fourth avenue "Wednesday morning
by the escape of young lioness from the
cage in which she ard three other young
cubs were confined. The assistant keep
err Jack Parker, had entered boldly into
the "lion's den' for The purpose Of clear
ing out the cage, and had succeeded in
driving the four cubs into corner, when
suddenly and with great agility the lion
ness. perceiying the door open, made a
spring int , the arena, knocking down the
assistant keeper in her course.
The on-lookers made no delay in get
ting into places of safety. The brute,
however, paid no attention to them, but
rushed toward the cage of a Bengal tiger
in another part Of the building There
was, it appears, an pld teud between the
two beasts since they made together the
journey to New York, and, without de-
Election in her course, the lioness was in
moment beating herself against the bars
of her enemy's cage The tiger howled
back his defiance and managed to draw
his fierce claws across the face of the lion
ess, inficting a severe wound. Her leo
nine majesty, moreover, also got in some
effective work, and before the fight was
over the tigers bloody head and other
marks showed that the battle was not all
one-sided. The terrific roars of the in
furiated beasts had meanwhile attracted
a large crowd about the Hippodrome, and
in the absence of Charles White, the tam
er, none Of the employees dared to inter-
fere. He was speedily sent for, and, on
coming into the arena, made rush at
the lioness. A brief contest ensued, the
surly brute offering some resistance, but
Mr.. White succeeded in forcing her into
her cage again, where he whipped her
soundly.
A close watch his now been placed
over the refractory cub, and in future the
operation of cleaning the cages will only
take place in the pre- sence of Mr.. White.
