From the Judge.
Alnascha ar turned to enjoy again
The tints of the dainty porcelain.
Vases were there that might grace the board
OF Babylon's caliph or Persia's lord:
Those tiny cups would he fair between
The finger tips Of the hnren's queen;
The greatest genii scarce could choose
A daintter set for their masters Use
SO fne, rose leaf would leave stain
On the delicate gloss Of the porcelain.
Alnaschar scanned his beautiful ware,
And he framed u vision upon 1t there.
He knew it was rare. of costly price;
He cav It was wrought with u strange device
And said: when the cahph shall nee my ware
He VIII oMn owl #. # regal and passing rare;
Weighing each cup with golden weight.
30 shal! thrive, when years have gone,
The richest merchant Of Babylon:
A Thousand slaves shall attend my pride,
a princes daughter shall be my bride"
And 30, with gesture OF head and hand,
He followed his fortune from land to land.
Till the first link snapped in his fancy's chain,
Alnaschar died but his spirit still
Is seeking TO reap where he did not till.
Wealth and fortune and fame remain
Wrapped in future he cannot gain.
Here he watches the stormy seas.
FreiRhted with possible argosies;
There he watches the ehb and How
Of cold humanity come aud go
Learned in the lessons misfortunes teach,
Gaining u goal that he could not reach
To these. Annschar. is all in vain
The lesson taught by the porcelain.
Alnasc hnr stands on the busy street.
Braveiy hoping against defeat.
Proudly he watches the stocks ascend,
His fancy pressing them to the end.
Every dollar that they go up.
Adds 10 his store another cup.
He looks at the beautiful! porcelain,
And frames the vision of Joy again:
III put up my margin now
Stocks were surely never so low
can get-let me SEE; can get no much.
Then will sel them when they touch
Five hundrcd-thata n handsome gain;
And when they fall III buy again.
Then III have fortune in my maud;
Then Will buy me house and land"
So hebriglt tnts OF fancy glow.
TIL values shrink and margins go,
And poor Alnhschur mOurns again
His shattered heap OF porcelain.
Alnnschar's fltful spirit still
Socks to reap where he did not till;
The gold of dreams IN piled In heaps,
While he, who should protect it, sleeps:
Fortunes grow for the lame and blind,
But the castle builder IL left behind.
Values vary like cbb of tide,
But he is stranded on either side.
Princes daughter and troops of slaves
End but sadly in early graves.
TIL the weary lesson is taught again
BY other fragments of porcelain.

H..

We are glad to see that the Messrs. Putnam
have been called upon TO publish second edi-
tion OF the collection Of poems boaring the
title Of The Blind Canary by Mr.. Fl. +. MCDER-
MOTT. Only those toleraby familiar with tho
book trade know how rare 1t Is for a volume Of
verse. even when commended by tho name OF
Morris or that OF Swinburne. to reach q second
edition. and the fact that such demand is at
tested In this instance shows that the author
has found tho way to the heart Of the people.
1t is easy to see why this should be SO. Among
the poems here brought together some un-
doubtedly betray imperectlons Of workman
ship. but such occasional shortcomings are far
outweghed by the sincerity and earnestness Of
the feeling expressed and the directness and
spontaneity by which. as a rule the utterance
is characterized. According to the definition
framed by Mr. Matthew Arnold. poetry. what
ever else II be. must Mt all events possess two
eements-it must be simple and itmust be emo
tlonal. That is why the school OF Burns Is cer-
tain to long outlive the school OF Boileau and
Pope and 1t Is one Of the gains OF our gener-
alton that critics have learnedlto distinguish
between rhymed prose on the one hand. and
song on the other. The author OF THE Blind
Canary" lays no claim TO an esoteric taste In
poetical technique or to hyper-rehnement OF
culture but. In his unaffected way. he Is o
singer. and that explains why he has found .
wider audience than some who are perhaps
more erudite students OF classic and mediin-
val verse. and more expert manipulators OF the
intricate mechanism Of metre. rhythm and
rhyme. That thero Is genuine and worthy
work In this little volume will be made mani
Test. We think, by an excerpt or two from the
species OF ode which gives name to the book.

Ed. SENTINEL: In . card published by
"Greeley" yesterday be denies some Of the
statements which appeared As coming from
me in yesterdays issue Of your paper. It
is perfectly true that at one time "Greeley'v
did work in a sort Of desultory manner at
Morey upon a lease with me-, but he aban-
doned the lease and left me to bear the
burden. 1t is equally true that I supplied
the largest share Of the provisions and
grub, and by far the largest share of the
labor. "Greeley" got tired Of the lease
and left, and 1 had to continue the work.
His occasion to leave Morey was simply
that he 'wanted my shoulders to bear
the burden Of what he thought was
an Improbable job. Upon settlement
/ gave him q horse worth $50 or $50 and
$40 in money, and without counting my
extra labor or expenses in disposing of the
ore, this amount covered within . few dol
lars Of as much as / received.
/ told the reporter he never worked in
Eureka, nor has he. to my knowledge.
What work he did in Morey would not en-
title him to the consideration of q twelve
year-old boy in any mining camp.
never paid him $12 in Eureka, but I
did give him 81. which was all he claimed
was due him, though I considered I owed
him nothing and gave it to him, more as
Q favor than q debt.
When my word il contradicted, 1t is but
natural that I should seek to retaliate, but
decency forbids me to give the particulars
which occasioned the remark to your re-
porter, ''that Greeley lived on the shame
of an abandoned woman" Will j. J.
Zerby say that . squaw prostitute is not
an abandoned woman?

THE wlND-UP
Examinations In the High school
and intermediate Departments.

Examination In the High school
and intermediate Departments.
The examination which took place yes
terday in the two upper departments Of
the public school closes the school work
for this term, except some unfinished ex-
animation which takes place in Prof.
Crowell's room this morning. This after
noon. as particularly announced elsewhere,
there will be a grand review Of all the
classes Of the school, who are prepared to
give their relatives, friends and patrons
the best literary entertainment they are
capable of. What his been said of the
work in the other departments may be
repeated, in a general way, with regard to
the labors OF Mr.. Croweli and his assistant,
Mrs. Marsden, and OF Miss Wright, who
has charge Of the intermediate Depart
ment. Very great improvement has been
made at all points. The Eureka schools
are we'll under way, and the outlook is
that within q reasonable time they will
not suffer by comparison with the best
schools in the State. Great preparation,
however, will be needed to get the proper
start at the beginning of the next term.
Much time and great pains must be de-
voted to regarding and reclassifying the
pupils. This is indispensable. The Trus-
tees will cooperate with the teachers in
trying to get the departments we'll shaped
for another year, in order that progress
may be surer md more rapid than ever
before. The SENTINEL feels warranted in
congratulating the people Of Eureka that
very marked improvement has been made
in every department Of the public school,
and that the prospect for continuous and
still greater improvement in the future is
very fattering.

sheen Poisoned.

]. G. Ford has had another mishap to
his stock since the death Of his 81 ZOO stall
lion two or three weeks ago. Several days
ago he drove . flock Of 1000 sheep to pas
ture into Grubb's Canyon, some A5 miles
west from Eureka. They were all emigrant
sheep, lately driven up from California,
gaunt and hungry, and they ate raven
ously every green thing in sight. They
soon allied themselves with the luxuriant
grass and heritage, and then took sick.
They seemed crazsd by what they had
eaten, and the whole flock staggered and ran
about bleating sometimes piteously. 10 .
day and . half all but 100 got we'll and fell
to eating again as though nothing had
happened them. The 100 died. Mr.. Ford
says he has no idea what the poison Is,
ana be says, also, that the sheep used to
the country never eat 1t, nor do those ever
eat II again that have once been made sick
by II and have recovered from its effects.

die. He came over 45 miles in Q wagon
from Cortez to the railroad at Alpha yes

train at that point arrived in Eureka be-
tween 4 and 8 O'Clock in the afternoon.
He has been reduced almost to Q skeleton
by loss Of blood from the pistol wound in
his skull, but he seems full Of life yet. He
will be taken to the County Hospital to-
day, where he will receive proper medical
attention, such as he has not had since he
was wounded. He has been carefully and
tenderly looked after. however, by . fellow
countryman, who has been with him ever
since he was shot. He is at present occu-
plying . room at Tatti's Union Lodging
house, where he was visited last night BY
. number Of sympathizing fellow Span
iards. These men seem to harbor no ILL
will against Merala. the man who shot
him, and they will make 81 effort to stop
prosecution.
