POETRY.
ANEW ENGLAND DEACONo OF THE
 OLDEN TIME.

He was a man of calm and austere mood,
 And in his sternnoss showed his pedigree, For he was born of Puritanic blood
 To no one did he ever bend the knee, Except to God, and even then expressed Less outwaed homage than his heart confessed. Though stern his brow, his heart was warm and
 mild,
 The fountain gushed, though curbed its spark
 ling rim
 His eyes. as he chastised froward child,
 We're off with nature's gentle dew made dim He strncK with thoee fond feelings he betrayed, As round his old armed chair the urchin played. His words were few, select and pertinent,
 Each understood and well performed its task 1; Before their force frivolity grew silent,
 And guilt, in sudden fear, let fall it's mask And yet, though strong his bow and sharp his
 steel,
 He only wounded men thhthe might heal He may have wished but never worshipped wealth, He sought it as a means, but not an end. He deemed the best of creature comforts" health The best of all Gods outward gifts afriend- Incomparably so his chosen wife, hnu ut, Nho DlOht tp DOpH pHe bread Ol llle. Beneath the pulpit, in his wonted seat,
 He meeKly sanctiiied tlni day of rest; His locks fell on his shoulders like sheet
 Of snow upon bending naples crest; His features solemn, meditatiye, mild, Repressed the lIghtness of the gazing child. He was breathing, bold impersonation
 Of moral outlines, which the preacher drew, Impressing portraits limned ill Revelation,
 By corresponding features full in view. A living picture strikes, when one that's santed Will sometimes fail, however strongly painted. But ifyou take the living, letitbe Some one whose points of character are strong 'Tis not enough that he is merely free
 From faults and overt acts of wrong, His goodness must be positive, thing Whose echoes ever on liie's anvil ring. This world is full of action, he must ride
 The foremost wave who would direct its motion. The timid sailor, on the inland tide,
 Can never feel the miehty heaves of ocean. Then lift your anchors, set your strongest sail, And speed, with steady helm, before the gale.

COLORADO CLIPPINGS.

w. T. Potter's 25 stamp mill, at Ne
vada, will be removed to the Deadwood
mines in the Black Hills.
The thirty-seven Erie miners who
were arrested for rioting on Gen. J. E.
Bates, had their trial at Greeley on a
change of venue, and were discharged.
Albert Abbott, of Greeley, attempted
to cock his double-barreled gun last
Wednesday by placing his foot on the
hammers, holding the gun with his
hand on the muzzle. He succeeded ad-
mirably, but his foot slipped and the gun
exploded, blowing away portion of the
thumb and fore finger.
1t is reported that the Star coal men
have received notice from the Boulder
Valley railroad company that hereafter
the rate on coal from Erie will be raised
so cents ton. This will necessitate an
advance in the market price of coal, or
reduction in the price made for min
ing. This company it will be remem-
bered, did not join in the late reduction.
The Boulder News stands up and
says that two years ago a lot Of rail-
road ties were fioated down South Boul-
der creek; but a, ,7S7 never could be found
or heard from. The ties, however,
have recently been discovered in Ari-
zona, on Little Big Squaw creek, in the
North Side Mountains, which place they
reached by an underground passage;
the distance being 425 miles. The prob
lem of the Northwest Passage will prob
ably be solved in similar manner.

leg. His wife is unhurt. Charles
Teenan lost his life in attempting to
save others. Philip Gerald, boarder
at the hotel, was brought out alive, but
entirely bereft Of reason. About half
an hour after the fire was discovered
the
ENTIRE ROOF WAS ABLAzE,
and the flames were rapidly descending
to the lower stories. A half hour later
the floors and interior walls began to
fall, and there is nothing left Of one Of
the finest hotels in this country, except
the Walnut street front and parts Of
the 4th and 9th street faces.
THE LOSSES
on the building and contents is
estimated variously from $3.50, 900 to
81 ZOO, 900. The building cost 81, ,000,-
600 at the beginning of the war. The
insurance is 1922, 900, and on the furni-
ture, 5000, 900.
The engines are still playing on the
fire and force has been organized to
search for the dead bodies. There are
several dead bodies at the morgue
awaiting Identification. Mrs. Morgan,
a servant was killed by jumping from
a window. Geo. Frank Gouley, grand
secretary of the grand lodge of Free
Masons of Missouri, is supposed to have
perished. Six other persons, names
unknown, were killed either by
jumping from windows or were suffo-
Gated by the smoke and dragged out of
the burning building. 1t is difficult to
procure the names of the killed, but it
is hoped that nearly complete list will
be obtained this evening.
Great crowds of people have thronged
the vicinity of the fire all day, some
looking for absent friends, but the great
mass melted only by curiosity. There
is strong guard of police surrounding
the ruins, and no one is permitted
within the lines excepting reporters
and those who are directly interested in
the calamity.
LIST OF KNOWN DEAD.
The coroner gives the following list
of killed as reported to him, and thinks
it comprises all known to he dead:

into the cause of the fire, and all facts
connected with it, but will not begin
the investigation for day or two.
The fire department is still throwing
water on the ruins, and as soon as
cool enough search for bodies will be
commenced. Those most familiar
with the circumstances Of the fire and
the number Of guests and employees in
the house, believe few if any bodies will
be found.

Discovery of Dynamite.

New York, April ia good deal
of excitement was caused yesterday at
the appraisers store, corner of Laight
and West streets, by the discovery in a
cask of wine of large tin box filed
with dynamite cartridges, which were
attached to wires with gutta percha
fuses. The cask was one of the cargo
from the steamer Frisia, which was
brought to the appraisers store. 1t
and supposed to be from Hamburg. 1t
was addressed to a person in Hunting
don, ILL.,, and is thought to be fool
hardy attempt Of some person to ship
dynamite to this port. Had an explo-
sion occurred in the store, the conse-
quences would have been very disas-
trous, as fully four hundred people are
employed there and the property in the
place is valued at 81, 500.

lies in Jail because he has failed to
make the promised unconditional sur
render of his property and vouchers,
some of which have already been ex-
hibited, which confirm his confession
of improper dealings with legislators,
judges, editors and others. His friends
say he has lost possession of many of
duce them he is likely to remain per
petual prisoner, as placing them be-
yond his control was a violation of the
compact agreed to when they were ad-
mitted to be in his hands.

ITE.-An improved nitro-glycerine
compound has been invented 10y Mr..
G is tat Fahnehjelm, of Stockholm, the
chief modification being that the Sec
ond main ingredient is charcoal plo-
duced from a special wood, and select
ed and prepared in such manner as
to be able to absorb and solidify the
greatest quantity of nitro-glycerine.-
In order to render the combustion
more complete, and to augment the
rapidity ofthe explosion, small guam
tity of nitrate of potass, or other suit
able salt, is added to the mixture Of
the two ingredients above named.
The composition of the new sebastin
depends opon the objects for which it
is to be used, and the effects intended
to be produced. The strongest COM
pound, and even in this there is stated
to be no risk of the separation of the
nitro-glycerine, is composed of IS
parts, by weight, of nitro-glycerine,
IA of wood charcoal, and s of nitrate
of potass; and when less power is re-
CURED, the proportions are varied, the

A LION TAMER's PRESENCE OF M1mD

eNAO1'
Perhaps the most magnificent act of
heroisn ever performed in this vicini-
ty was witnessed during the perfor-
nance Of Forepaugh's circuis, at Reno,
on Saturday last. The lion tanner wa
giving an exhibition of his control
over the ferocious brutes under his
charge, when suddenly he was ,bscry-
ed to turn pale and tremble. The
largest lion of tile six in the cage had
displayed unusual sullenness and an
ger and now refused to obey it's mas
ter. With glaring eyes it crouchedln
the corner, aud evidently meditated a
spring. The trainer recovered his
self-possession in moment, and, keep
ing his eye fiImly fixed upon that of
the huge beast, dealt it terrific blow
with his raw-hldc over the face
With fierce snarl the Infatuated lion
bounded forward. Catching one of
it's open jaws in either hand, the DOW
erful man held the brute off for a des.
perate moment by main strength. An
electric thrill of horror ran through
the crowd, which surrounded the cage
in all instant. The beasts in the 9TH
err pens shrieked and roared in chorus.
1t is in moment like this that the
real heroic element asserts ITSELF
Without turning his head in the least,
the brave man firmly whispered, Pass
me IN a small boy" One was instant
ly seized and crowded through tie
bars. it'll one superhuman effort
the trainor thrust the boy into the hot,
closing jaws, and then bounded lightly
aside. A snarl, a few savage crunches
and the beast turned again for his
prey. But the hero was gone! The
door snapped behind him, and gasp
ing Saved" he tainted in the arms of
the cheering concourse. A handsome
subscription was raised on the spot,
and when the audience dispersed it
was with tears of emotion in their
eyes. A brave soul had been rescued
from horrible death-another small
boy had been wiped out.
