The Werst Of 1t.

A fact that is strongly commented
upon relative to the Lake Shore dlsr
aster is that Immediately after the accl-
dent q train dispatcher in Cleveland tele-
praphed not to permit water to be thrown
on the burning cars. The dispatcher
admits sending the dispatch, but says
that it was through fear that the wounded
might be drowned by too liberal use
of water. Near the west pier stands an
engine house with steam pumps for
forcing water up into the tank onztfe.

The Russian Soldier.

dr. Eugene Schuyler, writing to the
London Daily Ne,os says: l 40 not
think the Russian officers and soldiers
are habitually brutsl, cruel or savage,
and I have always considered the Iurk9-
man campaign and the Khokand cam
paign as very exceptional. l do not Pc
level am far wrong in placing the
whole blame Of the acts I reprobate
Ipon General Kaufman, the commander
of both eIpe6tI0ns. Personally, Rus-
sian soldiers are good hearted fellows,
and I would not for moment compar :
them to Bashi- Bazouks, as has OF late
been very unjustly done. I see no rea-
son, however, for concealing the i'll CON
duct of Russian officers in matters Ike
this.

Barbara.

Barbara sits in her porch so green
AL day long till the sun goes down.
She bears the buzz Of her sewing machine,
She bears the hum of the distant town.
And sometimes the drone of the hive sedate,
Or the tick-tack murmur the mill wheel makes;
But at every step at the garden gate
Apause she makes and o thread she breaks
And sadly saying: "He comes not, thesT
She Gghs and turns to her sewing again.
Summer Winds can We bring no balm
To aweary bosom that knows no calm?
SuInnner and winter, and early and late,
Doth little Barbara sit and bark
For that one swift step at the garden gate
That never comes Of shine or dark.

Tha is kept from SO many fond, anxious
Souls
That her lovers head hath been long laid low
Where the grassy sea Of the prairie rolls
How hng would if be ere window and door
Would be empty both, and her waiting DER?
Oh, winds, west winds, will We never tell
whatlong ago in your wilds befen?
Nay, have her be; let her knit and sew,
Anilinger and listen, and watch and wait.
IN its own good time there Will come, know,
A Amessage for her atthe garden gate

Her wasted figure a soft arm fold,
And the love and trust Of these weary years
VIII bring their reward in a bliss untold.
Though watching and waiting consume our

There ne angels in heaven that bide their time.
Ye winds, blow lightly still let repbse
The happy ignorance Barbara knows.

The Cacti of Arizona,

tcresting notes on the uses to which certain
species Of cacti are put in Arizona:
"The Candelabra Cactus has been en-
ployed by the Apache Indians for communi,

feet, but occasionally specimens are found SO

necessary to set fire near the ground to one OF
the vertical rows of prickles with which the
plant is adorned; the flame runs to the top,
andthe candelabra becomes torch But the
plant is not destroyed, nor indeed, apparently
injured, by such burning on the surface.
Wien dead and dry the wood is found to be
hollow, and it separates at once into "A number
of sticks or poles, these having been chiefly

Smttcn to death crushed and mangled frame,
Sank with the brake he graspcd, just where lac
stood
To do the utmost brave man could,
And die, II need be, a. true man should.
Men stopped over him, women dropped their tears
On that poor wreck beyond all hopes and fears,
Lost in the strength and glory of his years
What heard thcyl Lo! The ghastly lips of pain
Dead to all Thought save duty's, move again.
''Pu. out the signal for the other train
No nobler utterancc since the world began,
From lips Of saint or martyr ever ran
Electric through the sympathie: Of man.
All me! how poor and notelcss seem to this
The sick bed dramas OF self-consciousncss,
Our sensual fears of pain and hopes OF bliss.
o, grand, supreme cndeavor! not in vain
That last brave act Of falling tongue and BRAN!
t'reighted with life the downward-rushing train
Following the wrecked one, as wave follows wave,
0beycd the warning which the dead lips gave;
Others he saved, himself he could not save.
Nayithc lost live was saved. He is not dead
Who in his record still the earth shall tread,
With Gods clear aureoe shining round his head.
We bow in the dust with all our pride
OF virtue darfed the noble deed beside,
God give Us grace to live rs Bradley died.
