Oh for some deep, secluded dell,
Where brick and mortar's line may cease
To sit down in pot OF grease
MOI no IL mean grot OF peace
I'D choose home by Erin's wave,
with not a sound TO mar lifes lot;

Noi--by the shannon have cot.
How fair that rocky isle around
That wide expanse to scan 1t DER
love a shiver with roar
mean a river with shorei
Romantic Erin's sea-girt iandi
How sweet with one you love the most
To watch the cocks upon the roast
mean the rocks upon the coast
Twere sweet at moonlights mystic hour
To wander forth where few frequent,
And come upon tipsy gent
mol not mean gypsy tent!
In that retirement lone would
Pursue some rustic industry,
And make myself a boiling tea
MOI no IL mean a toiling bee.
or, sweet with your fond wife to sit
outside your door at daylights close,
While she's hard hitting at your nose
mean hard knitting at your hose!
Perhaps on early cares you brood,
While sympathy her sweet face shows
'Tis good to walk upon ones toes
Imean to talk upon ones woes
An! how you watch that fairy shape
summer dress which does adornl
Admiring much her laugh OF scorn-
No OIL mean q scarf OF lawn!

A DREAM-L0VE.
BY HEINE.

Say, love, art thou not vision7-
Speak, or TO know were fain-
Such as summer hours Elysian
Breed within the poets brain?
Nay, a mouth OF such completeness,
Eyes OF such bewitching flame,
Girl so garnered round with sweetness
Never did poet frame.
VAMPIRES, basilisks, chimeras,
Dragons, monsters, all the dire
Creatures In the fable eras,
Quicken in the poets flre.
But thyself, so artful, artless,
Thy sweet face, thy tender eyes,
With their looks SO fond, SO heartless,
Never poet could devise.

MURDER At BEAR GULcH.
EDeadwood Pioneer

ktFtpS fN'yh j ljtiSEi.t
A man named Warren Stiles was murder.
ed in cold blood at Bear Gulch on Thursday
evening last, The circumstances, as related
to us by Mr.. Stephen Goodall, who arrived
last night, are as follows: Mr.. Stiles, who
was occupying a cabin on claim No. 20 be-
low discovery, heard a suspicious noise and
went outside to investigate. Two men, COM
p~anions, accompanied him. No sooner had
the party got outside than sone one near the
cabin fired and shot Stiles in the forehead
the ball coming out Of the back side OF the
head, killing him instantly. At the
report the two companions Of Mr..
Stiles dropped TO the ground, but while
doing 90 saw two men running up the gulch
The snppoaition is that the assassins came
into the guIch TO rob another party who wa;
known to have taken out a considerable
amount Of money, and when interrupted BY
Stiles they fired to prevent being discovered
On Friday morning a party started in pur-
suit, but failed 10 discover or capture the
murderers. Mr.. Goodal came over from
Bear gulch or foot, and says there has beer
no Indians seen there this summer. 1t is
therefore, almost certain that the murder
ers were white men.

SYMPATHIZES WITH THE STRIKERS.
tsioux City Journal.

So far as the Journal is concerned, it has
no disposition to conceal the fact that its
sympathies are very Largely with the stri
kers. The Journal is very far from express
ing sympathy with lawlessness ii has no dis
position to offer one palliating word for any
of the deeds Of violence the mob have
wrought. The truth is, however, as the
journal believes, that the railroad employees
have been wronged by the capitalists who
control their labor. And it is further true,
as a sitting of the facts will demonstrate,
that the railroad men themselves are re-
sponsible for little of the destruction Of
property that has occurred. We have not
the space this morning 10 discuss this
question at any considerable length. We
desire to say, however, that we believe the
corporations have pres umed upon the mems
necessities that they have sought some what
to save themselves from %ruinous loss in their
extravagant war with each other by shaving
the salaries Of their employees. The bus
mess has two sides, and the side of the hard
worked employees is a strong side. Right
is right, but right by the controllers Of these
corporations with reference to their men has
not been regarded. We believe the strike
will be OF benefit to the men 10 the end. It
will serve to render capitalists more cautious.
1t Is to be understood as pretty positive proof
that a disposition to take advantage of men s
necessities may be carried too far, though
this land Of ours be a free country.

THE GENERAL SENTIMENT FAIRLY STATED.


lFrom The jacksonville ull) Journal.
While we have no sympathy for rioters,
we have sympathy for poorly paid and 0 Ter.
worked laborers who are the victims of soul
less corporations-men who perform hard
labor in dangerous places, at such wages as
afford only a meag e subsi stance for a man
and his family. Railroad employees partic.
ularly ought TO be well paid, and their du-
ties are irksome, continuing, and especially
hazardous, and it becomes a mlt.er of
earnest inquiry if there is not something
radically wrong and oppressive in the wages
OF railroad employees which has seemed to
justify thousands of them in refusing to work.
Wages IN other fields of labor are not being
reduced al this tlme-tliey are, rather, being
increased. The times have been hard for
the last four years, and wages have been re
duced to about the lowest point they would
bear. True, the business Of the railroads
mas not been good for the past year, and
few OF them have paid any dividends at all,
whlle most OF them rave actually sunken
money but the times are getting better the
crop, are, or promise TO be, most abundant,
and the transportation business must, for the
coming year, be very large. Besides, the
cost OF living Is no less than for the last two
years, and employees are not prepared to re-
ceive a further reduction Of wages. All
considerations u site, therefore, in forcing us
to the conclusion that railroad companies in
thelE recent very general reduction of wages
are wrong, and our sympathies are with
these men; but when these men form a mob,
ana by iawlessness obstruct the great bust
ness industries of the country, damage prop
ertyv, a q threaten life, our sympathies are
entirely against such mob, and no measures
ihat can be restored to are too severe for
bringing them into subsection.

The Danuhe Camnaipu

1t will be seen from the dispatches that the
shrewd tactics of Russia have almost COM
petey baf1ed the Turks. The Russians e
threatening in three directions, and the Turks
are trying to keep the Danube covered at all
vital points. The Turkish monitors keep ham
mering away at Reni below Galatz, to keep the
Russians from crossing at that point, but it is
clear that they are beginning to suspect trouble
higher up the river, for they have beea hover
ing round Oltenitza, place half way between
Rustchuk and Silistria, and laying torpedoes in
the river. 1t must be remembered in looking
at the movements of these Turkish gunboats
and monitors on the Danube that there are two
fleets of them, and that the Russians have cut
IN between them at GalatZ and separated them
hopelessly. The larger portion of these gun
boats were, at the commencement of HOSTILE
ties, up at Widden, where they had been sta.
toned all through the Servian war. Hobart
Pasha took them down to Rustchuk with the
probable expectation that he would be able to
patrol the Danube and make things lively for
the Russians. The sudden seizure of Ga
atz and Brala spoiled all his plans The
banks once occupied and fortified, the monitors
were imprisoned. To test the strength of the
Russian lines, Hobart Pasha took swift dis
patch boat and dashed past their batteries in
the night, but there does not seem to be suffi-
Gent enterprise in the other Turkish officers to
follow his example, although the sure result of
their continuance in the river must be
their capture whenever the Russians want
them. The upper squadron seems to be hover
ing around Oltenitza, having backed out of
another bombardment of IbIail, and meantime
the Russians have only to seize Turna, high up
the river, and plant line of torpedoes there,
to have the river 1otilla of Hobart Pasha in a
trap from whence they cannot escape, Every
move the monitors make up and down the river
leaves the track behind them open for the
planting of more torpedoes and they must at
last be hemmed in and run down, at Rustchuk
or thereabouts. The smaller division at the
mouth of the Danube-the one whose gunboats
are bombarding Reni at intervals-is not ex-
posed to the risk of capture, but it is doubtful
whether 1t can accomplish much of Importance.
The line OF the river from REM to Ibrail is now
occupied, according to the latest dispatches, by
S0,O0O Russians, with 100 heavy gans in posi-
tioD. No gunboats possessed by the Turks can
nope TO run the gauntlet of passage thus pro-
tected, and when we consider the additional
perlls OF torpedoes, it is clear that the river
may be said to be practically closed wherever
the Russians choose to close 1t. Meantime the
Grond Duke Nicholas telegraphs that the Pruth
is much swollen, but that "the concentration of
troops shall not be interfered With, and en-
cages rooms at Ployesti. His movements are
very slow, but those of the Turks are so timid
and hesitating that he will be enabled to choose
his own point of attack at leisure during the
present week. k.--BoSton Globe.

THE meeting of the Turkish Parliament is
likely to prove an experiment in language
The London Athen9um says: cit is well
known that the Turks, like the Magyars, the
Greeks and the Roumans, have worked up
an oratorical and artificial language which is
quite distinct from the popular dialects. 1t
was with some question how far the Anato-
lian dialect, almost Turki, would get on be-
side the highly-wrought Stambulu, with its
infusion of Persian and Arabic. 1t is, how
ever, stated that the country members speak
freely. This is attributable to two causes.
The first is that Turks of all ranks are in the
habit of stating case concisely before an of
fetal or a tribunal, as advocates were not for
merly tolerated. The more immediate cause
is that Fuad and Ali Pashas began in early
life reform in the language, with view to
increasing its area and power. They encour-
aged plain Turkish and discouraged the grand
style. So the officials have learned to discard
their stilted phraseology and to speak plainly.

England and Russia.

The declaration of Carlyle that England is
fast drifting into war, is amply justified by
the progress of events in the East. 1t has
become evident within week that the Rus
sian au is not Rumela but Anatolia, that
the ancient Byzantium is not TO be captured
but to be isolated, and that the Russian Czar
aspires to the empire of the illustrious Mace
donian whose name he bears. The conquest
OF lesser Asia by the Muscovite is more dread
ed by England than.the conquest of Constan-
tinople itself, for the seizure of the lands over
the Bosporus closes the new route to Hin
dustan, and menaces the great Indian empire
whose crown the British queen has lately as
sumed. England looks upon the Russian oc-
cupation of Asia Minor as threat to the Sc
curity of her possessions in the farther East,
and she knows that blow at her colonial
dominion is blow at her existence as great
power.
The course of Russia has been character
lied by great sagacity. While amusing Eng
land with display of diplomacy she concen-
trated troops in the Pruth and beyond the
Caucasus. Then the moment the protocol
was rejected she set her armies in motion.
To-day, but two weeks since the declaration
of war, the Gar holds the Danube from Ser
via to the Euxine, and is lord of Armenia.
He has three hundred thousand soldiers ready
to occupy Bulgaria at notice, and two hundred
thousand on the road to Trebizonde. He
wisely refrains from crossing the Danube,
forcing the Balkans and seizing Adrianople,
for by prosecuting a movement upon Con-
stantinople he might alarm Austria and Ger
many, and provoke conflict to which he is
inadequate. But no continental power save
France, which is powerless, feels any inter-
est in his Asiatic conquests. England is thus
isolated, and can rely upon no ally save the
Turk. She at last realizes her position and
comes tardily to the knowledge that any
fight against Russia must be made by her
self. That she will light is quite probable,
for every Russian victory weakens her power
and augments her danger in the East. I'm
less she is prepared to see the Muscovite cross
the borders Of India as a libsrator she must
speedily check his advance. With Persia as
an ally Russia will find no obstacle in her
way to India until she faces British troops.

THE demand for Al rer cent bonds of fl

THE demand for 41 per cent. bonds of the
United States has fallen off but slightly in
consequence Of the European war,-less
than the demand for any other securities in
the money-markets of the Old World. 1t is
also true that the variation in current quo
tations has been less than in the case of any
strict ly ''gilt-edged," both abroad and at
home; but gratifying feature of the case is
the fact that the a per cents are being large
ly taken by our own people, while the 6 per
cents in the hands of European holders are
called in and cancelled as fast as the sales of
Al per cents furnish the funds.

a VOLCANIC lake, three acres in extent,
has been discovered on the Colorado desert.
The area contains boiling springs that have
thrown up mud in pyramidal form around
their vents, which glitter with sulphur. The
temperature of the water is thought to be 12O
degrees. One of these steam jets is projected
out of mound twelve feet sidewise. This
escape occurs about once every two seconds.
One of the numerous pools of water within
the boundary OF these boiling springs is per-
fectly cold, but saline to the taste. Pieces OF
sulphur, almost pure, have been broken of
from the mounds thrown up by these waters.

Dom Pedro's indifference to the rules of pa

Dom Pedros indifference to the rules of pal
ace etiquette during bis stay at Berlin Mortified
the German courtiers. He appeared at the
Empress's reception wearing black cravat in-
stead of the regulation white necktie, which,
as the Cologne Gazette observes, sis indispen-
sable even at the White House in Washing
top." Kaiser William and his Empress called
by appointment at the Hotel de Rome to re-
turn Dom Pedro's visit, but the Brazilian tour
lists were not in. Astonished and somewhat
chagrined, the Kaiser gave directions to his
coachman to drive back to the palace, when a
droshky rapidly drove up, and stout, elderly
man in gray oyercoat, crying ''Sirel Sire!'
aghted, and springing to the imperial car
riage helped the German Empress out. TIE
Emperor William followed, and on reaching
Dom Pedro's apartments the latter apolocized
for his apparently rude conduct by saying he
had gone to Professor Helmholz without pre-
vously setting his watch by Berlin time, and u
discussion on physiological optics had so much
interest for him that he overstayed his time.
The Brazilian sovereign had no desire to see
the barracks and parade grounds of Berlip, but
the university, the art galleries, the scientific
institutions, and above all the palace library,
underwent his careful inspection.

FUN has begun. The independent journals
for want of better things to abuse have fallen
to abusing each other. The Springfield Re-
publican with its usual audacity copies Gail
Hamilton's attack upon it in the Tribune and
the comments OF that journal, and in reply
tells the Tribune people that ''it is hardly
valorous in them to leave their revenges to
maiden ladies, and do their fighting behind
petticoat barricades." There is truth enough
In the sentence to give it a sharp sting. Of
course Jay Gould's name figures conspicu-
ously in the Republican columns. The fight
is strongly suggestive of the old proverb

WHEN The great battle of Oltentza was
fought, twenty years ago, between the Turks
and Russians, Omar Pasha, the commander
Of the former, made all his arrangements,
and then sat on hill and smoked his pipe
while the battle was going on. He was vic.
torious, but, it must be said, more on account
of the weakness of the Russians than be-
cause of any special generalship he mani.
tested. The Omar spirit, however, is dis
played by the Turkish commanders now on
he Danube, who have calmly sat down and
are waiting for Allah to fight their battles for
them
