NEWSOF THE WEEK.
TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.

On Friday morning, May 11th as the
keystone was being placed in the dome of the
main pavilion in the new court house in
process of construction at Rockford, H.,
the entire dome and interior walls of the
structure fell with deafening crash en-
gulphing large number of workmen.
Eleven men were either killed outright or
died soon after being extricated from the
debris. The building was a magnificent
affair, the dome raising to a height of 119
feet. The following is & list of the killed:
Fred Haugh, 4. Haugh, J. f. Peek, j. Pipe,
\. II. Hollenbeck, J. Warren, Geo. Glass,
Timmothy Flanagan, - Linholm, J. Sau-
son, c. Harris. The wounded are: A.
Lucas, T. Hayes, VIM. McInnes, Geo. Smith,
Hugh Eldreds, 4. Beldahl, Ben Brown,
Isaiah Donnelly, and Cicero Dixon. The
loss to the building will be from $4,000 to
S65, 900. The entire front will have to be
taken down to the frieze, and it is very i'm
probable that any attempt will be made to
rebuild it again on the present plans. The
front was virtually strong, but the back was
radically defective.

story that Mr.. Seward, when in Eng
land, went with him TO the Crystal
Palace. The American lighted cigar
and proceeded to smoke with great en-
joyment. when policeman, meeting
the pair, said to Mr.. Seward, in a tone of
authority, Sir, it's against the rules to
smoke in these grounds. Put out your
cigar or leave the place" Sir" Mr.
Seward rejoined with equal dignity, g it
is against the rules for ME to give YOU
half a crown. Take it and put it in your
pocket, and leave my presence" The
man looked round for fear of listeners,
took the half-crown, smiled pleasantly,
and discreetly turned away in the OPP
posite direction.

TWILIGHT VOICES.

What are the whispering voices
That awake at twilight fall?
Do they come from the golden sunset
With their haunting, haunting call!
They tell me OF breezy spring-times,
And of dreamy summer ewes,
And of snow-wreaths merrily shaken
From the shining ivy leaves.
But the far-off treble changeth
To a tenor tone, and so
i know that the voices tell me
Only of long ago.
What are the tuneful voices
That of early dawn are b,rn?
Do they come from the orient portals
OF the palace of the morn?
They tell of golden city,
With pesrl and jasper bright,
And of shining forms that beekon
Out of the dazzling light.
Then q rush of far-off harpingS
Blends with the vision clear,
And know that the night is passing,
And know that the day is near

O. W. Holmes on the Present Age.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered
a lecture before the Boston Microscopical
Society, recently, and in opening said:
" To men of my generation this modern
world, which most of you take as a
matter of course, it being the only con-
dition of things Of which you have had
experience, is source of wonder-a
standing miracle Science and art have
in our time so changed the aspect of
everyday life that one of certain age
might well believe himself ON another
planet or in another stage of existence.
The wand of Prometheus is in our
match-boxes; the rock of Horeb gushes
forth its streams in our dressing-rooms;
our words flash from continent to conti-
nent; our very accents are transmitted
from city to city; the elements of form
ing worlds are analyzed in our labora-
tories; and most wonderful and signifi-
cant of all, the despotic reign of traii-
tion has received its death-blow when
the angel of anesthesia lifted from We
manhood the worst terrors of the primal
malediction"
