THE BELLS OF LYNN.

When the eye is growing gray, and the tide is roll
ing in,
sit and look across the bay to the bonny town Of
Lynn;
And the fisher folks are near.
But wis they never hear
The songs the far bells make for me. the bonny
bells of Lynn.
The folks are chattering gay and hear their mer-
ny din.
But look and look across the bay 10 the bonny
town Of Lynn;
He told me TO wait here
Upon the old brown pier,
To wait and watch him coming when the tide was
rolling in.
Oh, zee him pulling strong, pulling DER the bay
TO me-
And hear his joyial song, and his merry face
see;
And now. he's at the pier,
Ny bonny love and dearl
And he's coming up the seawashed steps with
hands outstretched to me.
O my love, your cheek is cold, and your hands are
stark and thini
hear you not the bells Of old, the bonny bell OF
LynnY
have yoa naught 10 say
Upon your wedding dayr
Love, hear you, not the wedding bellsIacross the
bay of Lynn
my lover, speak to mel and hold me fast, mine
own
For l fear this rising sea, and these winds and
waves that moanl
An me all me, I did but dream: and am all alone
Alone and old and gay and the tide is rolling in
But my hearts away, away In the old graveyard
at Lynn! -

FIGHTING WITH AN OCTOPUS.

The occupation of diver is one that
offers but little attraction to those who
by temperament have no fancy for ex
plering the ''mysteries of the deep. 1t
is, however, not so monotonous IN EN-
ployment as might be imagined, and
divers occasionally meet with exciting
adventures while engaged in their labors.
One OF these the other day fell to the lot
of government diver in Victoria, Mr..
Smale, while at work on the bed of the
Moyne River, at Belfast, in that colony,
and from the account he gives of il IN
The Melbourne Argus, it must have been
more exciting than pleasant. Having
thrust his arm into hole, he found that
it was held by something; "the action of
the water WIS stirring up the clay, and
therefore / could not see distinctly for
few minutes; but when it did clear away
| saw to my horror the arm OF large
octopus entangled around mine like q
boa-constrictor; Just then he fixed some
of the suckers on the back of my hand,
and the pain was intense, Ifelt as If my
hand was being pulled to piece, and the
more 1 tried to take it away the greater
the pain became; and from past experi
ence / knew this method would be use
less; but what was to do lying in this
position. I had the greatest difficulty III
keeping my feet down, as the air rushed
along the interior of my dress and lntiat
ted it; and if my feet had got uppermost
| should have become insensible, held IN
such position; and also, if | had given
the signal to be pulled up, the brute
would have held on, and the chances
would have been that | should have had
broken arm. I had hammer by me,
but could not reach down to use it on the
brute. There was a small iron bar about
five or six feet from me, and with my
foot I dragged this along until could
reach it with my left hand. And now
the fight commenced; the more l struck
him the tighter he squeezed, until my
arm got quite benumbed; after awhile L
found the grip began to relax little, but
he held on until had almost cut him to
pieces, and then he relaxed his hold from
the rock and [ pulled him up. l was
completely exhausted, having been in
that position over twenty minutes. l
brought the animal up, or rather part Of
it. We laid him out, and he measured
over eight feet across, and l feel perfect
ly convinced that this fellow could hold
down five or six men,"

A RUSSIAN EXECUTION.

Frequent as Nihilist executioners have
been during the last few years, the vic
TINS are happily of very different order
from those of the days of Nicholas. But
many men still living can remember
bleak December morning in st. Peters
burg when a dozen of the Most brilliant
men in Russia were led ont to die upon
one gallows, including Postal, the COM
poser of the famous waltz, and Rylaletf,
one of the leading native poets of his
time The latter's end was marked by
very striking episode. He bad insisted
on DIVING before his friend Postal, in order
to show the latter how calmly he could
meet his fate; but the rope broke, and
he came to the ground still alive. An
influential friend of his who was present
iuplored the officer in command to delay
the execution until he had made enc
more appeal for mercy, and hurried to
the palace. ''Did he say anything when
he fell?" asked the Gar. The suppliant
hesitated, bat the suhaltern, who attend.

fore going on board and directed to

An "old tar" has recently prepared a
-I-.--a-t-v-,- 81 K-qrIUHaT terms FOR the use
of persons who intend to follow the sea.
In order to correct popular belief our
author gravely asserts that the berths on
board ship do not necessarily add to the
census. The hatchways are not hens
nest. The weigh of the ship is not the
extent of her avoirdupois. The boat
swain does not pipe all hands with
meerschaum. The ship does not have a
wake over dead calm. The swell of a
ships side is not caused by dropsy. nor
is the taper of bowsprit tallow candle.
The hold is not vessels grip. The
trough of the ship is not dug out of the
ships log. The crest of wave is not
the indication of its rank. The buoy is
not the captains son. The men are not
beat to quarters with club. Ships are
never boarded at hotels. The bow of a
ship is not evidence of politness. A
sailors stockings are never manufactured
from yarn of his own spinning. The
sails OF ship are not made by an auc-
tioneer, nor are the stays constructed by
a milliner.

A Disastrous Cyclone-DamaRe to Prop
 tiOn for Marshdeld.
 ST. LOUIS, Dec. IA severe cyclone passed near Carthage, Mo-, on Saturday evening, going from southwest to northeast. South of Topin fences were prostrated and houses and barns torn down, but nobody is reported hurt. Ten miles south. of Carthage the dwelling and all the outbuildings of Wm. Bay man were demolished also the buildings of MT. Forsythe, near by; but no lives were lost. Four miles to the northeast of Bay mans house the buildings of MT. Quimby were all destroyed and Mir. Quimby was fatally injured. At Sarcoxie the storm ragged with great fury. A black smiths shop was totally destroyed. The Masonic hall was twisted of it's founda- tions and ruined. Many other buildings were badly damaged and fences and out houses carried several rods. The house of John Mccoy near by was lifted from it's foundation ]; MT. Newman's house was blown down and his two little girls were fatally in jured. The timber in the track of the storm was all torn up.
 The town of Mansfield, which was nearly destroyed last summer, was visited by this storm, and great damage is said to have been done, nearly all of the northern part of the city being blown down again. The storm was accompanied by thunder and lightning the electric shocks being very violent.

NEW YORK, Dec. z.
 Subscription books of the Universal com pany" for the construction of the Panama canal were opened to-day and will be kept open tomorrow and Thursday. The sub scriptions to-day were small, but large num- Der are expected by mail tomorrow.
 The United States grand jury to-day brought indictments for manslaughter in con- nection with the Seawanhaka disaster against the following persons: s. l.. M. Barlow, Stephen Tabor, James Nodell, Edward Nor gan, Silas Croft, Stephen H. Townsend, Ed ward Weeks and Charles P. Smith.
 Great anxiety is now expressed for the safety of the Anchor line steamship Victoria, which left London November 13 and has not since been heard of. It was hoped that the steamship City of New York, which arrived in port to-day, would have some definite in- formation concerning her, but the officers do not report having passed any steamer. The Victoria is now twenty y-four days out, and be- sides valuable cargo and some passengers she has the celebrated race horse 'fBlue Gown" recently purchased by Joseph R. Keene, on board.
 B. G. Arnold & Sons, coffee dealers on Front street, made an assignment to-day to J. Lawrence McKover. The house were the largest operators in coffee in this city and probably in the country, and was estab- ished in 1888 by Reed & Lacy. The rumors of the failure became known before noon, but no credence was placed on it until 12:30 p. m., when it was authoritaiveIy stated that an assignment had been made. The unse- cured liabilities are placed between $75O, 600 and $1, ,000, 900 between this city and Phila- delphia.
