Masks and Faces.

I he stage was bright, the plaudits rang,
The play WAS nearly DER;
With happy voiaeths player sang
Glove Is forever mOrel"
'iShe never sang or locked so fair"
The people whispered low;
But the real tale OF the woman there
Nobody cared to know.
The clreus-crowd was gay and glad,
And loud thu whirling ring:
HuzZa! the rider rode like mad,
As j0ound rs king.
Huzzal TO watch him laugh and leap,
They oheered him high and low;
But the tears that lay in his bosom deep
Nobody cared to know.
And we are all players for our day,
On the stage of life we fare.
Each with his little part to play,
Each with his mask to wear.
And what ia real It's vain to ask
And what is only show;
Fer what lies hidden behind the mask
Only ourselves may know.

While the year 1882 will long be re-
membe by astronomers on account
of its great comet and its transit of We
nus, 1888, bids fair to witness some ce-
lestial events of hardly less interest and
Importance. In May total eclipse OF
the sun will occur, which will be re-
markable for the great length OF the
period of totality-nearly six minutes.
This extraordinary duration will give
observers unusual advantage for study
ing the suns corona at time when the
solar photosphere is at its greatest
activity, and for search after the small
planets which are suspected to exist
within the orbit of Mercury. Unfortu-
nately, this important eclipse can be
favorably watched only from two small
islands of the South Pacific. D'Arrest's
comet-seen last in 1877, with period OF
about six and half years-is expected
to return within the year; as is also
Tempel's comet-last observed IN
1878, and having period of five and a
quarter years. A late calculation OF the
orbit Of the comet of 1912 leads Messrs.
Schulhof and Bossert to predict the pos
sible return of thatlong awaited object,
although they think it more probable
that it will appear in 1884.

Decoration Day.
Sweet sleep our heroes, couched beneath the
sod,
Wrapped in their winding sheets of blue and
gray;
While o. er their heads the fairest flow rets nod
Kissed by the breath of May.
War-wasted. weary sank they down to rest,
Spent with the struggle in their cOuntry's
need;
No gentle breathings heave the placid breast,
No signs of love they heed.
And yet new life through all the world doth
beat;
Its rhythmic splendors threb through space
afar;
1t blossoms in the daisies at their feet,
1t glows in yonder star.
And SO the souls of heroes whom we sing
Sleep not; but far in Heavens fadeless cline.
Der all the nations grateful Offering,
Keep watch and ward sublime.

THE NEWHALL INQUEST.
Close of the Hearing-The Verdict Not Yet
Rendered.

MILWAUKEE, Feb 1.-The inquest in the
Newhal House fire was finished to-day L..
w. Brown, yardmaster Of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, who lost his wife in
the fire, told the story of his escape in a
graphic manner, but the evidence developed
nothing new.
Herman Strause, ex-member of the fire de-
partment, who rescued many persons, said
the extension ladder was badly handled,
most of the crew being green, and never
having been drilled. The ladder was in bad
condition and broke; it had not been handled
or drilled with for years.
A number of witnesses, among them DR..
Spearma and C. H. Haskins of the telephone
company testified to the capability of the
landlord Antisdel, and also to the condition
of the hotel in regard to fireescapes. Haskins
also said that Nash wanted a bridge to the
Frachelton building, but FTachelton would
not consent The witness thought the fire
was the work of an incendiary.
The case was given to the jury, who were
instructed to return verdict on the follow
ing points:
The manner in which, and by what means,
the fire started; by whom, if known; the
cause, if ascertained and whether by negli-
gence of any person, owner or occupant,
servant or master; the time and place of the
fires commencement, if accidental
The jury deliberated several hours, and
then adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The jurors unquestionably differ
as to the origin of the fire, as is shown by
their questions. Ali have tried various
means to get at the true condition of the
hotel. Ii is impossible to surmise what the
verdict will be.
Scheller, who was arrested for setting the
hotel on fire, publishes a statement to-day
embodying a general denial of having re-
moved the billiard balls explaining the re-
moval of the whisky as being caused by want
of room in the hotel, and stating that the in
surance was not more than the actual
value of the stock. The statement was writ
ten by a lawyer, at Scheller's dictation, in
the Jail. Admission to the prisoner is still
refused.
The remains of Gertrude Donahue wife of
joan Gilbert Donahue the actor, were sent
to her fathers home, at Blood's Station, n.
Y, to-day. The unfortunate husband was
unable to accompany the remains.
VIM. E. Cramer, of the Evening Wisconsin,
and wife, are declared out OF danger by the
physicians to-day.
