.rsCR CARY's SWEETEST POEM.

No apology is necessary at this time
so, renroducing the following exquisite
Ines by the lamented Alice Carey-lines
which. in the Judgment Of 50 eornpe-
.ant critic "a Edgar 4. Poe, deserve
~ rank among the very finest contri-
hntions to the poetic literature Of this
country:
M all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall.
Is ene of dim old forest.
That seemeth best OF all;
Not for its gnaried oaks oideu,
Dark with the mistletOe:
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the iniik-whlte lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge.
Connecting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge:
Nor for the vines of the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks. nor the pale. sweet COW
slip,
II seemeth to me the best.
Ionce had little brother
With ewes that were dark ard deep
In the lap Of that Older forest
He lieth in peace asleep:
LIGHT as the down OF the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
W. royed there the beautiful Summers,
The Summers Of long ago;
Rnt his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one Of the Autumn ewes
made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sv.etly his pale arms folded
Nv ok in meek embrace.
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows OF 5unset
Lodged in the tres-t)p5 brigh'
He fell in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of hight
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Tn, one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth best OF all.

 mate of The Lost.
 HAMBURG, Jan. 23.-The Diamant, one of the steamers sent in search of the missing passengers a nd crew of the Cimbria, has reached here with sixteen passengers and 8 fireman of the ill-fated vessel found clinging to the rigging. The rescued passengers say that after leaving the Cimbria their boat was capsized and they returned to the rigging of the Cimbria, which was still above water, and there remained ten hours, freezing with the cold and expecting that every minute would be their last until rescued by boat from the Diamant. Many of those who were in the boat when it left the Cimbria were drowned when it capsized, and many others, after reaching the rigging, were obliged to release their hold and were lost. The survivors de- All of them praise in the highest terms the conduct of the captain and crew of the Cim- bria, who never moved from their posts and did everything in the power of man to save life, until they themselves were engulfed in the waves Most of the survivors present a miserable appearance, having lost every thing. Everything possible has been done for them at Hamburg. Some have been sent back to their homes, and the remainder will continue their voyage Wednesday.
 The crew of the Sultan are openly charged with running at full speed in a dense fog, with deserting the crippled ship, and not attempting to save life. The captain of the Sultan replies that he waited for several hours after the collision and that on board his ship great terror prevailed, as no one knew which vessel was the more badly dam aged.
 From the report of an eye witness of the disaster it seems that two of the boats, which were launched and loaded chiefly with wo- men and children, capsized almost immedi- ately and all in them were lost One of the rescued passengers states that married couple cut their throats on the deck of the vessel just before she went down, saying they wished to die together. The steamer Sultan lowered one boat, but it did not approach the Cimbria and it is thought that the crew feared being sucked in by the vortex caused by the last plunge of the sinking vessel. corrected estimate gives the total number of the passengers and crew of the Cimbrla at 522 persons, of whom but 65 are known to nn caun6

N ug0n1eS V111t to F3E1Ss.A EanAc A1nOA& The Moneyed Glasses.
 PARIS, Jan. 23.-The widest rumors are in circulation tonight concerning the visit of the ex-Empress Eugenie, and it is believed by many that an important Bonapartist de- monstration is imminent. The moneyed classes especially among the bourgeoisie are badly frightened and indicate their uneasiness by throwing government and other securities on the market in large quantities, while making heavy investments in British consols and United States bonds. There is an evident fear that revolutionary movements are to be expected which would occasion disastrous depreciation of all French securities. The origin of this belief may be traced to several sources the late manifesto of Prence Na- poleon and the events to which it has lead the incertitude shown by the chamber of deputies; the weakness of the present cabi- net which if it has not actually resigned is undoubtedly on the point of doing so, and the alleged legitimist conspiracy together with the uncertainty attending the real ob- jeet of the ex-Empress' return at this juncture have all contributed to produce the grayest apprehensions among those pos sessing money and negotiable securities and this feeling has already operated to such an extent that serious financial crisis is not improbable.

Crashing Down a Steep Grade-Fright-
 ful Accident to Coal Train-Seven Dead Bodies Taken From the Wreck. KEIsER, Jan. 23.-A terrible and fatal acci- dent occurred on the Georges Creek and ] Cumberland railroad, running from Cumber- land to Laconing, to day. The coal train consisting of three locomotives, ffty-two hoppers and seventeen gondolas, all load l ed, started for Cumberland about 2 p. m., all coupled together with one engine in front, another in the middle and one in the rear, this being the safest way to take them over the grades in this bad weather. In going down one of the steep grades ten miles unmanageabIe and started down the steep incline at fearful rate of speed The train kept the track until it got on a trestle- work having 8 reverse curve where the for ward engine flew of the track, dragging all the 69 cars and the other locomotives after it, all going rolling and tumbling down steep hill which was between 80 and 100 feet high on the track of the Eckburt branch of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad. The loss of life is fearful Seven dead bodies have been found amid the wreck and more are missing. Each train carried a conductor, two brakemen, g fireman and an engineer, making in all fifteen men, not one of whom can be found alive. It is supposed that the other men are either among the wreck, or having jumped to save their lives are lying on the mountain somewhere either dead or bad ly hurt, and if exposed to night like this will surely freeze to death.

The Winter Carnival at nrontrs.

The Winter Carnival at Montreal.
 MONTREAL, Jan. 23.-The winter carnival was opened to-day with the annual drive of the Contractors association led by four-in : hand and tandem team of five horses Sev enty five sleighs turned out, making a pro- cession of nearly 8 mile long. The ice pal ace is nearly completed and will be inaugu- rated tomorrow. It has already been illuminated and presented "a magnificent spectacle, the lights in all imaginable forms and tints flashing through the alm ost trans parent walls. An attempt made to-day to freeze the roofs and spires of the structures, which are composed of cedar boughs, was unsuccessful and so cracked the ice as to threaten the destruction of the whole build. ing. The curling on the river presented a very pretty scene, but the, intense cold, the thermometer being at zero, made it very un- pleasant for the players. The Americans played against the best Canadian players to- day and were badly beaten. Trotting will be- gin tomorrow on an egg-shaped track mile long on the river. The tobogganing hills on Mount Royal Park are alive with hun dreds of people who keenly enjoy the sliding and majority of the visitors freely admit that it is the most exhilarating sport they have ever spent.

The Victims of the Railroad Wreck.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The passengers of the wrecked sleepers on the Southern Pacific railroad have been accounted for by a duplicate chart of everyone who took pas- sage. The remains of Charles R. Pierson, Ferdinand Bumford. Thomas Keegan, and Wright the painter, ex-soldiers, were readily identified, as were the bodies of Colonel Lar abee, Miss M. E. Squires, Mrs. Downey and Lawrence, the porter of the through sleeper. It is also ascertained that l.. Weberel and H. A. Oliver are among the dead. These with the recognized remains of Mir. Schlinghyde, who boarded the doomed train at Fresno, make the number of dead accounted for twelve, two bodies still remaining unrecog- nized. The clues for identification are so slight that it is possible that they will never be known. The remains may have been those of tramps stealing ride. At all events every passenger on the chart of the sleepers has been accounted for as living or dead.

 OfRe1igious Insanity.
 MILWAUKEE, Jan. 23.-A terrible tragedy occurred here at noon to- day. The wife of John Zimbrick, 8 laborer living in Sixth street, killed her three children, the oldest of whom was seven years of age, and the young est eighteen months, in most brutal man. ner, literally cutting them to pieces and disemboweling them. The at tention of the neighbors was attracted to the scene by the woman's at- tempt to hang herself in an out-house. They cut her down and brought her into the house where the horrible spectacle was discovered. Mrs. Zimbrick was at once arrested. She took her arrest very calmly, saying that she had read in the good book that it was right to sacrifice children. She is doubtless suffer- ing from religious insanity.
