SONG OF THE ICEBERG.
FROM AN OLD SCRAP BOOK.

Hal hal who biddeth me staya

Have but frightened my crystal blood: t.
OIL my cup from the storm clouds tear,
Aud gather the SHOWS for food.
Men quake az the lifting folds OF storm
Uncover my CHASTITY face: t
There is woe IN the sweep OF my giant armi
There is death in my chill embrace
To our ice-barred lands the pigmy race
Uubidden essayed TO pass
beckoned my brothers TO come apace.
And we shivered their fleets like GLARS
But there came youth TO our desolate realm,
A pale and slender man; .
With nerve OF iron he grasped the hel n.
And laughed at our Idle ban

Bat We could not hinder his nortbward way
Or fetter that chanIess will.
The silent shores Of the uttermost sea
With rcverent feet he trod-
We knew by the glance Of his sleepless eye
That he was the sent Of God.
From the frozen heart OF the plttering North
Exulting I've bnrst away!
On the ocean tide forever to ride
Hat hal who biddeth me stay1

But what 10 this In the atmosphere
And what is that eye of eame
That burns. and burns 70 my very heart,
And withers my giant frame:

Ibavs Knocked at the whirlwind's mood
Bot the sun hath smitten my shining crest,
And the ocean drinks my blood

Probably there has never been In this
country so much glorification over we'd
dug as that which made Nsils Peterson
and Mali ]. Hansen man and wife. The
ceremony was performed at st. Olaf Church
north OF Sioux Falls BY the Rsy. o. Sando.
The couple were accompanied to church
by twenty-five wagon loads Of friends, aud
from there tbey went to the homo Of tho
groom, near Republican postotsioe, nine
miles from here, where the gloriHcation
was held. Feasting and dancing COM
m~nced right away, and were kept mp for
ive days. Part OF the time there were as
many as 2C0 gussts present, and during the
whole Ave days there Was steady stream
going and coming. There is no way Of
knowing how many were there altogether,
bus the preparations made Tor their .euter-
tainment indicaes something Of the crowd :.

Garfield stands for the best sentiment Of
the party which has been Identified with
the patriotism, the intelligence, the free IN

programme or policy, and with the most
damaging traditions. That party has emf

of them. If he has views on public ques.-
tions, they are not known. He is,of course.

that OF q military governor. He is wor-

SPANISH BULL FIGHTERS.
They Will GIVE an Exhibition of The.
Art in a New York Circus
New York Sun .

New York sun.
There arrived IN this city yesterday by
the French steamer, st. Laurent. from
Havre, party OF ten Spanish bull fighters
who bave been brought to this country by
Mr.. Fernandez. They are to give their
performance in the new circus building at
One Hundred and Sixteenth street aud
Sixth avenue. The party numbers some
Of ths most skillful of the fighters who
have risked their lives in the arena at
Madrid. With the exception Of the chief,
Angelo Valdemore, the matadors are young
men, of 80 or 25 years Of age. The chief
is about As. Ali have hne physiques. They
wear close fitting, full trousers, made of
dark colored velvet, and short jackets OF
the same material, both richly embroidered
with gold. A broad red silk sash encircles
stockings and low shoes complete the outfit.
When In the arena black silk bOunst is
wsrn instead Of the hat.
A noticeable feature are their queues,
which are very small and worn about foot
long, the end being secured with gay col.
ored ribbons. Each Of the party wears
upon his breast medals and other insignia
received for skillful performances. The
chief baldmoro has more Of these badges
than his comrades among the jewels pre-
sented to him by King Amadeus and King
Alphonso.
The band bring with them the swords,
spears, etc., used by them in Spain. These,
however, will not be used here, but in their
place similarly shaped instruments made
of wood. Changes as to the mode oftight
ing will also be made, as it is not intended
to kill the bulls, but simply to show how
simply to show how the fights are co.,
Quoted in Spanish countries. The two
most important changes will be the omls
sion Of the picadores and the banderrillos.
The former are the one who ride ponies
and urge the bulls to the ig ghtand the latter
also incite them by placing fireworks on
the necks of the bulls. The banderillos
will engage in the fight, but will use in
place of the fireworks some harmless de-
vice that will illustrate their part in the real
fight.
The party are stopping at present at the
Sturtevant House. The bulls are beng
brought from Texas on one of the Calves
ton steamers. 1t is expected that the cir-
Gus will be completed and performsnoe
given by the latter part of next week.
