Like gentle, wearied spirit,
That slowly glides away,
In peace and calm contentment,
So fades the dying day.
And as the shades of evening,
Are deepening all around
He leaves his farewell kisses
Upon the dewy ground.
Far sweeter than the midnight,
Though that is sweet to me,
When the deep-souled thoughts are surging
Like the pillows of the sea;
Far fairer than the MONDAY,
Though that be fair and bright,
Is the sweet, mysterious marriage
Between the day and night

WHO FERRIS Is.


Miss Ferris gave the following account
of her fathers life: "My father" she
began, Gas far as can learn from my
relatives, was born about the year 1880.
His mother married twice, her
first husbands name being Ferris. My
father was born of this marriage. After
her first husbands death my grand
mother married Charles T. Brown, who
is still living here in Brooklyn: My
grandmother finally died insane. When
my father was boy he was very wild
and before he was 16 he ran away to
sea. He did not return until some SIX
teen years later. He was then about 80
years of age. Soon after this he married
my mother, whose maiden name was
Eliza Jane Williams At the outbreak of
the war my father left home and have
been told he enlisted. About this time
nv mother died and some time later
my father married second time.
He married some woman living at
Flatlands, and went out with her to Cali
fornia. Two years ago my father again
returned to Brooklyn and remained here

DR.. J. H. Mclean, Of st. Louis, who
has expended about $500, 900 for models
of implements OF war which he claims are
so destructive that their practical use in
one campaign would force the world into
u state Of perpetual peace, gave public
exhibition OF his inventions at Washing
ton Navy Yard on the 9th ult. About
two hundred persons were present, in
cluding the Chinese Minister and suite,
General Benet, Chief of Ordnance; Com
mandor Mccormick, of the Bureau OF
Navy Ordnance; Admiral Scott, Colonel
Macauly, Captain Harrison, Lieutenant
Very and many army and navy officers.
There were ii implements on exhibition,
but only four of them were tried, and of
these only one worked perfectly. The
General Sherman, a small preaching
loading cannon, which was expected to
fire 26 shots per minute, fired twenty
shots in minute and half. The
"Vixen," built of bronze, fired one
inch ball once in seven seconds. The
Annililator," which was intended to
fire two charges in second, fired one in
little less than two seconds. The
"Lady Mclean" which has Sc barrels
with an estimated capacity of nearly
$4,000 shots per minute, with range of
three miles, was worked to the speed of
70 shots per second. The other guns
were not in order for trial. Among other
inventions that DIR Mclean exhibited is
magnetic torpedo propelled by clock
work, and guided to iron ships to be de-
destroyed by loadstone. The guns
were pronounced fairly successful by the
officers, but the claim that they would
bring on millennium was by no means
admitted.

On Tuesday or Wednesday of last
week, in Ivanpah, Indian VIM threw a
squaw into we'll for some unknown
cause, the squaw getting out with some
slight bruises. Being afraid that the
whites would kill him VIM thought he
would go down to Kestler's ranch and
kill kestler for some old grudge. He &C.
cordingly went to Kestler's, and finding
him at home, shot him at first in the
back, the ball penetrating the heart.
This must have killed him instantly. He
then shot him in the right breast twice,
twice in the neck and once in the eve.
He then carried the body into Kestler's
cabin and locked the door, and two other
Indians who were with him when the
shooting was done went up to Ivanpah
and told the whites and Indians of the
affair. The latter went down to the
cabin, caught VIM, tied him and took
him to Ivanpah. The Indians had taken
him to Mr.. Clark's saloon, and late in
the evening, while number of miners
were there talking, smoking and drinking
by turns, four masked men entered the
place, ordered the crowd to stand back,
took Winn out and hung him to butcher
gallows near by. Winn confessed to the
killing Of three other white men before
Kestler, and said he killed him for fun.
He said he had killed four Indians, one
his own child, which he Drained. -[San
