The gloomiest day hath CLEANS Of light.
The darkest wave hath bright foam near IL:
And wrinkles through the cloudiest night
Some solitary star to cheer II.
The gloomlest soul IL not all gloom,
The saddest hour Is not all sadness;
And sweetly Per the darkest doom
There shines some lingering beam Of gla,ipess
Despair is never quite despair,
Nor life nor death the future close,
Ard round the shadowy brow of care
viii hope and fancy Irvine their roses.
BY Mrs. Hemens.
Withereh Vi0Dets.
Long year, have passed, pale flowers, since yot
Were cuIIed, and given in brightest bloom,
BY one whose eyes eclipsed your blue.
Whose breath was like your OWE perfume.
Long years-but though your bloom be gone,
The fras rance which your freshness shed
when memory fingers ON,
When all that blessed its birth have fed.
Those hues and hopes will pass away
Thus youth. and bloom, and bliss, depart:
Oil what Is left when these decay
The faded leaf, the withered heart!

Captain Dawson, master of the Mitsu
Bishi steamship Kiushiu Maru, gives the
following relation of what passed before
his eyes on his voyage from Riu Kiu to
Kobe in the early part of April. The
statement is duly signed by himself, and
countersigned by Mr.. John McKechnie,
the chief officer, and its authenticity ap-
pears to be beyond question:
Saturday, April 9th, at III a. NJ, Cape
Satano distant about nine miles, the chief
officer and myself observed whale jump
clear cut of the sea, about quarter of a
mile away. Shortly after it leaped out
again, when / saw there was something
attached to it. Got glasses, and on the
next leap distinctly saw something hold
ing on to the belly of the whale. The
latter gave one more spring clear Of the
water, and myself and the chief officer
then observed what appeared to he a
large creature of the snake species rear
itself about thirty feet out of the water.
1t appeared to be about the thickness of
a junk's mast, and after standing for
about ten seconds in an erect position, it
descended into the water the upper end
going first. With my glasses ! made out
the color of the beast to resemble that OF
a pilot fish"

Fun With the Bears.

fnlIhuelpHld lllHes
Nobody who visits the Geological Gar
den goes away without seeing the bears,
and from looking at them the desire to
see them eat is as natural as second
thought. There are three bear pits, con-
tanning altogether eight bears. In the
first pit are two cinnamon hears, noted
for their laziness and their disposition for
climbing the artificial trees placed there
for their benefit, and falling asleep on
the loftiest perch in the sun. The next
pit contains two huge grizzlies, and the
third four black bears The last pit is
the chief center of interest. The black
bears stand on their hind legs as erect as
the stump of II tree, fold their fore paws
across their breasts, and opening their
mouths as wide as possible, look up at
the spectators, mutely appealing to them
to drop something good in them. This is
the critical moment. There is a rush of
men, women and children for apples, pea
nuts, gingercakes, sugar cakes and ban
anas, and the bears throats become tar.
get for the skill of old and young. 1t is
like an exciting game of baseball. When
peanut or gingercake is dropped into q
bears mouth the feat is hailed with uni
versal applause. The bears are partia
to gingercakes.

Big Meteor in minnesota.


On Monday Mr.. Ridley, of Esther
vile, braught to the Republic Office a
piece of the meteor which he saw taken
from the identical spot where it fell. 1t
had opened the earth for a space of ten
feet across, Just over the line, in the town
of Emmet, Iowa. One piece, weighing
2! pounds, had been dug out when he
left. 1t threw sods for about Is rods.
On Wednesday Mr.. 8. B. Weir in
formed us that after digging 10 feet they
reached the 800 pound wonder, which
had been driven that distance into the
ground, and 10 feet of which was in
solid blue clay. The parties succeeded
in raising it by means of levers and
chains, and it weighed 431 pounds, an
other piece 32 pounds, and, with other
pieces that were found, made the whole
meteor safely 500 pounds. In size it is
feet in length, and IA by % inches.
| is starting point is a matter not easily
figured, but within u rods of the school
house near John Barber's, about mile
east of the residence of our good friend
Charles Jarvis, that burning, bursting,
cannon-resounding, lightning-speed mis-
sile came in contact with the earth.
Mr.. W. r. Pingrey yesterday inform
ed us that another piece, that weighed
about $50 pounds, was afterward found
on A. A. Pingrey's farm, about 2 miles
from the other, and buried feet in the
solid clay.

Cecil Clayton stood before the mirror
putting the finishing touches to her wealth
of hair.
She sighed as Claras admiration revealed
itself in this outburst
The thoughts of her lonely condition and
of Philip, were creating within her revolu-
ton. q revolution which would be the cause
of much trouble for herself as we'll as others.
Not one thread of the mystery of old John
Claytons sudden disappearance had been
unraveled-all was surmise. Nor were the
detectives any more successful in their hunt
for clue TO the whereabouts of the wife,
having no portrait TO guide them, and but
few scraps OF family history in themselves
unimportant, which Cecil was obliged to
give.
Still the young heiress' determination
never wavered.
She had almost changed her mind as to
the propriety of going into society, but Gu
riosity finally prevailed
| How strange, if the man should prove to
be Jared Clark under an assumed name!
What hold on him it would give her!
Black grenadine, with white crepe frill,
caught with y pearl OF rare value, comprised
her dress.
In her hair Clara had placed a camelia,
the effect of which called forth an outburst

to see if 1t were properly arranged.
"If really am to be the belle of the even
ing, Clara, what will our friend the dashing
widow say?"
"What she pleases. She's as jealous as
an old dowager, and could not control the
opinions of her set. I'm friendly enough
with her, but have no sympathy with jeal-
ousy. 1t reminds me Of dogs growing over
bone"
"Love, minus jealousy, is not lasting,

Toxic Times.

Aligators, though not unknown, are
not very common in the rivers OF China,
where in many places their appearance is
held to presage some watery disaster.
One has recently been discovered at Chin
Riang by some laborers employed in
clearing out small canal. When the
scales Of the monster were observed above
the mud in which it had buried itself,
work at once ceased. The mandarin9
were informed of the unwelcome pres
ence, and came in force TO the spot, burn
ing incense, unsuccessfully, to induce the
visitor to depart.

Youth, beauty and fashion, mingled with
the odor of perfumes and flowers, rendered
the scene delightful one.
The butterflies of Mrs. Burrill's ''set" ever
strove for ascendancy in style and social

All eyes were turned when Cecil CLAYTON

the elite. Those whom chance had favored
with an acquaintance haStened to renew it.
OF course she was overwhelmed by the

TQuincy (Fla.) Star.l


On Tuesday last colored man rushed
into Scotts store, shouting that he had
"treed rattlesnake in a gopher's hole"
This was fun for the boys, In few
minutes party headed by Mr.. Scott set
out for the snake. 1t was found quietly
sleeping on the back of the gopher. Mr.
Scott fastened two strong trout-hooks to
the end of long pole, and, hooking the
reptile, held him firmly until he could
be dug out. Cotton saturated with chic
roform was then held to his mouth until
he was insensible. He was then taken up
to the store, restoratives were applied,
and soon he was in fighting trim. His
mouth was then forced open and an
ounce of hydrocyanic acid was forced
down his throat. Instead of being in
stantly killed, the snake did not seem to
mind the dose at all, but sprang from the
box he had been placed in and was ready
for fight. Mr.. Scott, then, drawing his
pistol shot him dead.

A Georgia Dog Diving for a HAM


A very intelligent pointer that was
owned by a gentleman in this county
was so we'll trained that his master could
send him home with note for anything,
and he always attended to his mission
with the utmost promptness.
One day his master, while walking
around his premises, found loose plank
on his fence and sent the dog to the house
with note for hammer and some nails
His mistress put the hammer and nails
in basket and gave them to the pointer
On returning to his master he had to
cross narrow stream of water. Reach
ing the stream, he gave one bound and
was over. His owner, who was in sight,
saw him set the basket down and com
mence to jump from the bank into the
stream. He continued this performance
so long that his master hastened to the
spot to see what it all meant. He dis
covered that in jumping the stream the
dog dropped the hammer from the bas-
ket into the water and was diving af-
ter it.

where their ashes lie be not obliterated

ever committed in any way, shape or
fashion, as l wrote my own simple
initials, A. G. Underwood, my name
being Albert G. Underwood, and that of
my father at Milford being Alvin G.
Underwood. The notes were written in
the same style that have used during
my ten years banking experience with
Houghton, McCord & Co., of Milwaukee,
and the notes were presented to these
parties and Others as A. G. Underwood's
notes, and did not refer in any way as to
whether they were A. G. Underwood's
notes of Milford or A. G.. Underwood's S
notes of Milwaukee. A. G. Underwood
of Milford never knew anything about
the matter at the time the notes were
given"

Trout Fishing in the Rocky Mounts
aims.

At Lake Tahoe can be found trout
weighing from four to twenty pounds
At independence and Donner Lakes
trout are plentiful, varying in weight
from half to two pounds. Every day
fishermen bring to town fine strings of
fish. Independence Lake is still cov-
cred with ice. The fishermen there go
out on the lake in snow shoes and break
holes through the ice in order to cast
their lines. The trout bite readily, and
large numbers are caught.

Gov. Garcelon, of Maine, is deprived
of the solace which the bar-room grants
(and so are his sisters and his cousins and
his aunts), and therefore gum-chewing
has assumed the proportions of formid-

Governor has been moved to issue a
message, manifesto, ukase, haiti, or some
other decree on the subject, in which he
declares that the people largely indulge
in "the disgusting habit of chewing
gum" Where is prohibiton?-and who
is to be the Neal Dow of the gum-tree?
