Strategy of tho Walrus.

The walrus has singular mode of
adapting his attack upon enemies to the
circumstances in which he is placed.
They can shiver ice from four to six
inches thick by rising from below and
striking it with their huge heads. An
exploring party near Navaya Zemla,
while walking ever field Of new ice,
noticed herd of walrusscs following
them under the ice. They presently
began operations, and broke the field
in pieces on all sides Of the party, which
barely escaped by running for the main
pack of ice near by.

THEBLOOM OF TIE HEART.

Under the blue OF the mid-AIay sky,
Under the shsdow Of beech and lime,
Watching cloud-shsllops drifting idly by
Free from the thrdldom of fate and lime
Lulled by the murmur OF breeze and stream,
Twitter Of songster, futter Of spray,
That swee ly blend with the waking dream,
And whisper one ma ,ical word alwAyi
Held by the spell Of an exquisite face,
"A voice that is dearer than all things dear,
All, but the world is fairy place
In the Jloom Of the heart, the May of the
year
Sitting alone in the waning light
In tue dead November's leaden dearth,
Watching the mists rise ghostly white,
And blend in the shadows, and quench the
earth;
Musins for ave on the might-have-been-
Sweet mIght-have-been that may not bel
The tender hopes and the fancies green
That faded and futtered from lfe's fair tree
Haunted always by a vanished face,
voice that is hushed in the midnight drear,
ALI, but the world is a weary place
In the gloom of the heart, the gray Of the
year.

PANIC IN A THEATRE.
The Injury Caused Thereby.

LIVERPOOL, October IL. 1t is stated there were
between four thous and and five thousand persons
IN the Coliseum Theatre, last night, at the time
OF the fatal panic, though this is probably exag-
gersted. The performer was singing comic
song, when a free fight commenced in the pit.
The cry of "fre" was raised, and general STAN
pede for the box-ofice entrance ensued, though
there were SAID to be five other doors open for
egress of the audience. The police inside and
outside vainly endeavored to control the frantic
crowds.
The structure of the theatre at the point where
the crush occurred, Is intricate. The exits con-
verge into a narrow well, and it in this well
that the de ad were collected until they had reach
ed ghostly pile, six or seven bodies deep. An
upright partition in the centre of the doorway,
stopped passage until one OF the men attached TO
the theatre procured an and cut 1t away, en-
abling some of the Imprisoned people to escape.
scene of great excitement prevailed outside
the theatre. Fire engines and fire escapes sirv.
ed and fl emen, joining the police, entered to res
cue the people.
The manager of the theatre upon the first alarm
rushed INTO the pit from the entrance, and shouted
to the audience TO remain quiet, but his Efforts
int ffectual, until the theatre had been nearly
cleared when the dead and 10 ured were carried
to the Royal Infrmary. Two of the dead were
women, three boys, and thirty two were able
bodied men of the laboring class.
