The Dividend ON Leeds.

The Leeds mine, which has been
looking remarkably we'll of late, and
has been yielding plenty of bullion at
very moderate expenses, has come to
the front as a dividend payer. On
Saturday the Directors met and de-
clared a dividend of twenty cents a
share, payable August 20th. The
mine is altogether out of debt, and has
enough money on hand, without re-
gard to August shipments, to pay this
dividend and leave a fat surplus in the
treasury. Shipments are coming in
at the rate of $1,000 a week, without
prospect of cessation.

Outside stocks.

The outside stocks continue to attract
a deal of attention from spectators,
and when a mine can show real merit
it has no lack of support yer in these
dull times. During The past week the
outside stocks have been among the
most active on the list, and in numer-
Gus instances prices have made a very
sensible advance. Especially has this
been the case with Raymond & Ely,
Eureka Consolidated and Grand Prize.
The fluctuations in these stocks are
shown by the closing prices in regular
afternoon sessions of the Board:

The Russian "Lariat" Drill.

One feature of the Russian cavalry,
not generally known, will account for
the great superiority of the artillery
which accompanies them. Every Rus
sian mounted soldier is provided with a
stout lariat or rope, and is trained to
help heavy guns out of trouble. In the
Crimean war on more than one occasion
the Russians brought twenty -four pound
ers into the field in this manner, with as
many as twenty horses hitched in teams
and Cossacks helping with the drag-ropes.
In 1914, when Napoleon beat the Rus
slams near Paris, in heavy rain storm,
Gen. Osten Sacken saved all his guns, in
spite of the fearful state of the roads, by
putting fifty cuirassiers with their drag
ropes to each gun and caisson. This
habit has accustomed the Russian cavalry
to take plenty of artillery with them, and
accounts for much of their superiority
over the Turks in Asia. -BOstOn Herald.

Several weeks passed by, during which
time, through storm, and cold, and
snow, Little Popcorn failed not to come
every morning with her basket of white
treasures.
One morning my door opened as usual,
and, thinking it Maggie on her daily
rounds, did not even raise my eyes from
my work, until glad little voice said, in
a triumphant tone:
" He's come, sir, he's Gomez
Then glanced up. A man of middle
stature and age stood before me, with
dropping head and downcast eyes, and an
evident look of shame in his whole bear
ing But suddenly thought seemed to
rouse him, and shaking himself, as if he
would be free from all recolections of an
unhappy past, he walked toward me
holding out his hand, and said:
"Sir, before God | thank YOU for
bringing me back to this child, and, as
surely as stand here to-day, promise

failed entirely, for Maggie was clinging
to her fathers hand, and wetting it with
her tears.
All this happened year ago, andnow,
on Rogers street, there stands little
candy-shop, which, by its neatness and
freshness, attracts many Coppers out of
many pockets, and even beguiles me into

An Enraged Elephant.

GilmOre's Garden was in an uprOar
yesterday morning, and a curious throng
gathered in the streets near by. A big
elephant named Borsen, which arrived
from Liverpool on Saturday for Barnum's
menagerie, was assigned to place where
three other elephants were chained; and.
being unaccustomed to stand otherwise
than alone, he became very bellgerent.
He walked in front of his companions as
far as his chain would permit, struck them
on their heads with mis- trunk, and seemed
determined that they should acknowledge
his superiority Always when several
elephants are together one masters the
rest before peace is established Mr..
Hale, the keeper of Borsen, gave him
blows with a stout stick, and aided by
several other men watched the beasts
throughout the night. Borsen enter
tanned consequent grudge against his
keeper, and as the latter, about seven in
the morning. was giving him water, hit
him blow with, his trunk on the side
that knocked him twenty feet away.
Hale ran at Borsen with his stick, but
was seized and thrown over the railing.
On returning to the charge he was again
seized, and this time the beast was on
the point of plunging his tusks into him,
when Mr.. Charles McLain, the boss can
vassman, went to his rescue and dragged
him out of reach. Borseu then became
furious. He broke his chain and started
through the premises with his trunk ele-
waited and his tail standing stiffly in
horizontal position. He tore down the
wooden railing as if it were thread,
and went to the lions cage, which he
knock ed over. There was then pande-
monlum of roars from all the beasts, in
GLIDING the seals and sea lions. The
men fled, but soon rallied, and, under
the leadership of Messrs. McLain and
Mcdonald, prodded the elephant with
pitchforks and tore his ears with hooks
until he was secured. This was done by
first lassoingo one of his legs as he stepped,
and then twining the rope around his
other legs, which caused him to fall
heavily. Then, being helpless, his fore
and hind legs and his tusks were chained.
In this condition, after tremendous beat
ings, he was allowed to rise, and was led
to one of the posts of the garden, to
which he was attached. His ears were
badly lacerated, and blood streamed
from wounds on his sides and belly.
An elephant, after being conquered,
rarely attempts second rebellion, and
Borsen was quiet last evening, obeying
the commands of the attendants. 1t took
six hours to subdue him, and men were aft
erward occupied for hours washing away
the constant flow of blood. Mr. Hale
was badly, but not dangerously, hurt.
Charles Rivers had very narrow escape,
for the elephant at one time beld him with
his trunk, and was on the point of driv-
ing his tusks into him when violent
blow of club caused the trunk TO loosen.
Borsen is now so well chained that he
cannot break loosely Y. Sun.

GRASS.

The rose is praised for its beaming face
The lily for sanity whiteness:
We love this bloom for its languid grace,
And that for its airy lightness.
We say of the oak: How grand of grth!''
OF the willow we say: How slenderr'
And yet to the soft grass, clothing earth,
How slight is the praise we render!
But the grass knows well. in her secret heart
How we love her cool green raiment;
So she plays in silence her lovely part
And cares not at all for payment
Each year her buttercups nod and drOwse
With sun and dew trimming over;
Each year she pleases the greedy cows
With oceans of honeyed cloverl
Each year on the earths wide breast she waves
From spring until bleak November;
And then-she remembers so many graves
That no one else will rememberl
And while she serves us, with goodness mute,
In return for such sweet dealings
We tread her carelessly undertook
Yet we never wound her feelingsl
Here's lesson that he who runs may read:
Though fear but few have won it
The best reward of kindly deed
Is the knowledge Of having done It'll

4 DREANLAND CITY.

Sometimes the guarded gates
OF the Unseen on outward hinges roll,
And in deep dreams of night the troubled soul,
In bright, brief vision sees the glory of its goal
Some angel, watchfu, kind.
StoOps for the moment from his kindred band,
Reaches, through veil of sleep, plying hand,
And leads the dreamer forth into farer land.
Such boon to me was given
Thus to my sorrow came sweet relcase
Sleeps magic touches gave TO pain surcease.
And forth my spirit passed into transcenden
peace.
A city beautiful
Shone on my vision. Palaces of white
And cleaning marble, in uoonday light,
Glittered along wide streets with pearly pavement
bright.
Amaranth and asphOdel
Above each pillared door their blossoms hung;
From every mansion mystic music rung,
For POesie was here the only voice and tongue.
High in the ctys midst .
Arose Temple as the sunset bright;
OF tlame-like spendor, dazzling TO the sight
Arch, column altar, glowed with an interior light
This is the shrine of Song"
a voice beside ME uttered - This her home
Her chosen dwelling Hither none may come
But her beloved, her own. Fame'4 worshipers are
dumb.
- Forth from her temple flows
Perpetual inspiration. Glorious themes
Break on the vision in eCstatiC CLEANS.
Embodied here the bard beholds his rarest dreams
either the minstrels throng-
The masters wearing laurels centuries old,
Bards who the harp-strings smote with fingers
bold,
And they whose softer lays with faltering lips
were told
Nor they alone whose brows
On earth the yictors sparkling wreath have
worn;
These, too, whom Fate of every bliss hath shorn
Save Of the matchless boon-that they were singers
BORN
Even as he spoke there rolled
From out that inner shrine Il tide of song.
Each outer voice the anthem bore along:
The angel at my side responded full and strong.

My guide, in tender voice replied Not yetl''
The dream at an end:
Yet in its light walked through many days
Seeing no darkness in them. for my gaze
Illumined once, still burned with the celestial
rays.
Now, singing as 90,
Little heed, although the path is long
Light from above hath made my spirit strong

To sing unheard. unanswered. at her feet
