Sonnets from the Afghanese.

In venturing to publish few speci-
mems of the literature of remote race,
who have lately attracted the attention
of the whole civilized world, deem it
necessary to offer word of explanation,
lest the reader should conclude that
the colloquialisms of Cabool are too
suspiciously like the slang of our own
metropolis. Sir William Leslie, in his
admirable work on the "Social Life and
Manners of the Afghans," says: "Their
poetry is rude and simple, full of colo
quial phrases, and celebrates only the
primitive passions and most familiar
surroundings of their daily life" 1t
will be observed that this remark is
eminently true, if the following SON
nets are faithfully typical of Pushtaneh
literature. In translating, have been
at some pains to preserve a natural at
mosphere by substituting for the idioms
of the Pushtu language such of our
own colloquialisms as most nearly cor
respond. In no other way could pre-
serve the vivavoc tone of the originals.

A Rear With a Strong Head.

An enterprising and good-natured
visitor at Castle Park, few days ago, in
generosity of heart presented the bear
with a bottle of beer. Bruin ascended
his throne, and after uncorking the
bottle, drank it, and appeared much
refreshed and well satisfied. This
amused the visitor to such an extent
that he took glass himself and gave
the bear another bottle. The perform
ance lasted about two hours, the gen.
erous visitor drinking his glass each
time that his bearship put bottle of
the chop juice" under his belt. At
the expiration of the two hours it was
found that bruin had indulged in nine
teen bottles of beer, and his friend had
gotten himself ON the outside of nine
teen glasses of the foamy stuff. The
only difference to be discovered between
the two was that bruin was quiet aud
docile, and walked to the end of his
chain with his usual dignified tread,
while the man imagined that he was
the czar of all the Russias, and was
momentarily expecting to hear an ex-
plosive missile burst about him. He
was finally conveyed home "upon O
shutter" while the bear quietly walked
his beat and looked anxiously for the
appearance of another fun-loving visitor
who would "set 'em up."-Hot Springs

When our weary feet become heavy and wear
On the valleys and mountains oflife,
And the roadjha grown dusty and dreary,
And we groan in the struggle and strife.
We halt on the difficult pathway
We glance back over valley and'plain,
And sigh with a sorrowful longing
To travel the journey again. -.
For we know in the past there arc pleasures,
And seasons of JOY and delight,
While before all is doubling and darkness,
And dread of the gloom and the night;
All bright sunny spots we remember
How little we thought of them theni
But now we are looking and longing.
To rest in those places again.
But vain of the vainest is sighing,
Our course must be forward and on;
We cannot turn back on the journey,
We cannot enjoy what is gone.
Let MS hope, then, as onward we travel
That GASES may brighton the plain,
That our roads be beside the sweet waters,
Though we may not begin it again.
For existence forever goes upward
From the hill to the mountain is rise
On, on, DER invisible SUBMITS,
To land in the limitless skies.
Strive on, then, with courage unshaken-
True labor lie never in vain
Nor glance with regret at the pathway
No mortal can travel again.

The Age of the Earth.

Richard A. Proctor says that the age
of the earth is placed by some at 800
900, 900 years and still others of later
time, among them the Duke of Argyll,
places it at 100000 years. None
place it lower than 10000. 600, knowing
what processes have been gone through.
Other planets go through the same pro-
cess. The reason that other planets diff
fer so much from the earth is that they
are in so much earlier or later stage of
existence. The earth must have be-
come old. Newton surmised, although
he could give no reason for it, that the
earth would at one time lose all its
water and become perfectly dry. Since
then it has been found that Newton was
correct. AS the earth keeps cooling it
will become porous, and great cavities
will be formed in the interior which
will take in the water. 1t is estimated
that this process is now in progress so
far that the water diminishes at about
the rate of the thickness of a sheet of
writing paper a year. At this rate in
5000, 900 years the water will have sunk
mile, and in $1,000, 900 years every
trace of water will have disappeared from
the face of the globe The nitrogen and
oxygen in the atmosphere are also dI-
minishing all the time 1t is an inap-
pr ciable degree, but the time will come
when the air will be so thin that no
creature we know could breathe it and
live; the time Will come when the world
cannot support life. That will be the
period of old age, and then will come
death.

Novel Device IN SMUGGLING,

A novel device in smuggling has re-
Gently come to the notice of Colonel
Alexander, the fifth auditor of the treas
ury. Sometime ago a vessel laden with
lumber somewhere in Texas was dis
patched to one of the Mexican ports,
but for some reason she could not
make her destination, and discharged
her cargo upon the beach some sixteen
miles distant. After time the Amer
lean consul or some one acting for him,
evidently not we'll informed OF the af-
fairs of the vessels owners, sold the
lumber on their account, and sent the
money to the treasury department.
The lumber was sent by its purchas-
ers to a sawmill, and the first log was
placed in position to be cut into boards.
The saw had penetrated only a few
inches when there began to appear upon
its teeth shreds.of clothing and finally
it became fast and refused to move
further. Investigation disclosed the
fact that the log had been made hollow
by boring, and had been filled With
clothing and other dutiable material,
and then plugged up. The vessel was
seized by the Mexican government but
being wormeaten and worthless was
abandoned.

Met a Violent Death.

The shooting of the President recalls
the fact that the first Fourth of July
orator this country ever produced died
in a similar manner. In 1778, just two
years after independence had been de-
clared, the day was celebrated in
Charleston, s. c.. and an Grafton was
delivered by DR.. David Ramsay. The
latter was an able author, as we'll as a
physician, and published the first history
of America. He married the daughter
of Henry Laurens, the distinguished
patriot, who was for a time imprisoned
in the Tower of London for his devotion
to his country. 1t is a curious fact that
this very David Ramsay was shot in
broad daylight by lunatic, this being
at the time new feature in crime. The
weapon was pistol and the wound was
Immediately fatal. DIR. Ramsay was a
member of the first Congress. 1t con-
vened in this city in 1889, and included
remarkable representation of the talent
and patriotism of the country. He was
the first instance of assassination among
our public men. The patriots of the
Revolution indeed, as a class, have
escaped violent death, the exceptions
being found in James Otis, who was
killed by lightning, and also in Button
Gwinnett and Alexander Hamilton, both
of whom were victims of dueling -Nel0

The glow against the western slSyi

The breezes in their fitfnl sigh
Betoken soon the end Of day,
The shadows creep from vale to hill,
The chill mist settles DER the river;

From out the woodlands darkling glade

Across their path has come no shade,

A Stricken settlement-sma1Ipo1 Raging
 Among Its People-The Town Isolated
 A Strict Quarantine By Surrounding
 Cities.
 SIOUX C1TY, Feb. 2-For several weeks smallpox has been raging with great fatality in Jefferson, Union county, twelve miles from this city. A strict quarantine has been en- forced and the disease has not spread beyond the settlement, though it has played havoc there The settlers are mostly French Cana dians and when the disease broke out they were unmindful of its contagious character and funerals were publicly attended. The disease spread rapidly. All the towns around have quarantined against Jefferson, and the people there have been isolated for nearly month. Mails are not received from the town and none are sent. The rail- road authorities have forbidden trains to stop there. Elkpoint, Dakota, the county seat of Union county, and this place have largely contributed to the relief of the suffering people, but under the restraint to which they are subjected the settlers have become restiye and threaten to break the quarantine and come into the city. This was avoided by the city council sendlng NaPoieon DronoiG who has many relatives in that settlement to Jefferson From him it islearned that there have been over ninety cases in the town; 32 have died and only six have recovered so far. At present there are sixty cases under treatment. It is believed that many of these :. will recover, as the disease has lost much of it's former violence. MT. Brondig reports that whole families have been swept away by the disease, and in many cases the dead have been left unburied for days through fear or inability to obtain help to bury them. Elkpoint has two physicians in charge of the district: Isolated cases are reported in several towns in southern Dakota. The disease IS said to be black smallpox, and is thought to have been communicated by party of Rus sian Mennonite immigrants who passed through the place to Yankton several weeks ago.

The chichester Tragedy-His Companion.
 At the coroner's inquest on Monday after. noon in Stratford in the Chichester case, a verdict of death from exposure was rem dered. The only important testimony was that of Mir. Ashben Bond, the companion of Mir. Chichester. His statement is as follows ::
 t'We left the lower dock at about o'clock to go after a few ducks. I left Chichester out upon Skate Bar and told him might not be able to come back after him, owing to the running ice, and that he had better walk ashore to Milford Beach and go home that way. After got through clamming start
