II was in the soleRn poet man,
Full haggard and forlOrB, -------
That came unto the editor
One sunny summer morn.
And PLACED within bis jeweled hand
That erestwfile in mood
of loving kindness written had
ct toeman something good,
some manuscript, and seating then
Himself ia cushioned chair.
Spoke boldly out first smooth hing down
His tangled locks Of hair.
Il know FIJI well the poet said,
That oftentimes it is
The painful duty Of your craft
To run their little sciss-
Orr through the thoughts Of other men
Which may not he expressed
Within your c5lumns-as, perchauce
An ANTICIPATED jest,
Or verses gu an eii-lam3 Death
All these, ] know must fail
Beneath the awf9l ban thar spreads
Above them like pail
But have heard a little thing,
Quite touching in It's way,
That tells Of ripping waters
Aud the smell Of ne''-mown hay
i he Ddsuiu4 UafIeu : "ltcAiAS SAhi4Sf
The lowing Of the kline;
The meadows spangied Ger with iiowars,
The sunset most divine,
Are also pictured by the use
OF softly-soulding words,
And over all there comes the sweet
Low twitteriEg Of the birds.
Twas then up spoke the editor
Your scheme is good, he said
On the ripping water racket
You have really quite a head.
But the spaRgled meadow business
Ard the blgshing country maid
Have long since Copyrighted been,
And therefore j m afraid
That your story will not answer;
But if you could only make
The maiden sweep the parlor
1t would simply take the cake.
The poet man gat much downcast,
The luster left his eye;
He rose TO 90 and sadly said
[ cannot tell a lie

A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.
Explosion OF a Cargo of Oil in Steamer a
West Point, Va.-Nineteen Lives Lost by
Rurning and Drowning

Explosion Of Cargo of Oil in a Steamer a
West Point, Va.-Nineteen Lives Lost by
Burning and Drowning.
The steamer West Point arrived at her wharf
at West Point, Va.,, Sunday evening, but dis
charging of the cargo was not begun until Mon
day afternoon, and after the hands had been
engaged nearly two hours terrific but as yet
unaccounted for, explosion occurred, near the
forward hatch, blowing out of the star board
side of the steamer and almost enveloping the
forward part of the vessel in, flames.
in the forward hold, all of
whom at the explosion were killed or
burned to DEATH Five men jumped overheard
and four were drowned. When it was found
there was no hope of SAVING the boat, she was
cut loose and the tide drifted her two miles mp
the Pamunky river, where she continued to
burn until everything combusEble was de-
stroyed. Her iron hull was broken into amid
ship. Among the killed we're l. s. Bradford,
Chief Steyedore First Officer Peter Georg-
ham, of Baltimore, was blown overheard, but
Bohanan, of Baltimore, was seriously burned
OF the nineteen lives lost eighteen were colored.
Three others were injured.
The boats cargo made up of miscellaneous
freight, among which were several hundred
barrels OF OIL six OF which were gasoline. The
oil becoming ignited, the flames spread with
such frightful rapiditY there was no chance of
saving the vessel, nor any on board, even il
they were not killed by the explosion. The
forward portion of the deck and great part OF
the starboard side were thrown out, and there
isno doubt all in the hold or forward hatch
were killed. Four men were drowned by the
large hatch side falling upon them. They sanl
at once. The cause Of the explosion has mo-
yet been solved.

Late but Graphic Description Of the
Michigan Fire.

One of the best short descriptions of the
Michigan fire comes in late lsster from
little girl to q New Haven LADY who had
sent her O winter coat. The young cores
pondeut writes: The fire was terrible. Il
got dark ct noon, and so hot that the win
dow panes were as hot as lamp chimneys,
and the wind was so strong that it blew the
building over forty acres. The fire sparks
few as big as fists, and so thick; thicker
than snow fakes. It was hard 10 save the
lives. There were two of our naighbors
who got burnt to crisp on the road as
they were escaping. The fire overlook
them, each mother with five children, and
the father was left. There was one family
of six children with their parents, and all in
group. The whola number of lives lost
was thirty -one in our town. 1t got so dark
that everybody was running, and they did
not know where to save their lives. Some
had to tear their clothes from them to save
their lives, for they were burning On them,
and some children sufocated IN their
mothers arms. One girls clothes caught
fire on her, and she was burnt before she
could tear them off. She amt well yet.
Next morning you could see cattle, horses,
hogs, sheep, and human bodies all around
living burnt. This fire was o great deal
worse than the fire in 1871, but I do not re-
u,emhar fhak one.
