There was the bay, and the ship at an

And there to the south was II bright red

THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN SECRETLY POISONED.

Sr. PETERSBURG, March 14.-It is now
stated that Prince GOrtschakoff died at
the residence Of a woman who had been
for some time past recognized as his
mistress, and whom he was in the habit
of stopping with whenever he visited
Baden Baden. He became acquainted
with her while at Berlin attending the
congress sitting there on the settlement
of the Russo Turkish difficulties, and
was often met in public with her. The
fact that he died in her house has
caused considerable suspicion in police
circles here, and some are bold enough
to assert that his death was the result
of a quarrel between them and he has
been poisoned. The lntestines of the
prince have already been removed and
forwarded to Freiburg to be analysed.
The death OF GOrtsChakOtf makes the
third death Of prominent public men
who have died at the houses of the NILS
tresses. the other two being Gen. SkObe-
loft and M. Gambetta. The circum-
stances attending the death Of the two
last named are still fresh in the public
mind.

officers Of the gas company declare they
can find no evidences that 1t was caused
by gas. The force of the explosion shot
large portions Of masonry across the
street.
The explosion is undoubtedly the work
OF Fenians. The adjacent streets were
filled with myriads Of fra agments of glass
and heavy plate glass lying in heaps on
the ground. Stones weighing 200 pounds
were projected against the King Street
Police Station making hole the size Of
a mans head. Nothing will be touched
until the inquiry Is made to-day. The
full extent OF the damage cannot BE- es-
timated until daylight. Five hundred
cOnstAbles are guarding the scene. The
building has the appearance Of having
been 6OmbHFded. There il deep trench,
ten feet by three, in one room, the floor
of which has been literally plOwed. Two
children sleeping in house on the cor
ner of King street were thru" n from
their beds by the force of the explosion
and their faces badly cut. They were
taken to the police station. Every pane
OF glass in the vicinity was shattered.
A man was arrested at midnight on
suspicion Of being concerned In the ex-
plOsiOn. HarcOurt has had a conference
with the chief OF police, at which several
witnesses were examined. The conclu
sion reached WAS that the explosion Oc-
cured inside of a room and not outside
Ehe building. After the explosion the
force of police at the House OF Parlia-
ment was doubled. Government offices
and residences of Ministers are strongly
guarded. The Times attaches little i'm
pOrtanee to the explosion which occurred
at its office. The canister contained
only small quantity of powder.

On Tuesday, Christmas day, at 1890
O'Clock, o company of about forty
guests assembled at the Barber mansion
in this city. to witness the nuptials of
Mr.. Walter G. Chandler, of Ferguson,
Mo-, and Miss Carrie A. daughter of
the late Hon. j. Allen Barber, of Lam
caster. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. S. w. Eaton, ID. d., of the Con-
gregational church A ring sealed the
pledge. The bride wore beautiful
white silk dress with trail, bridal veil
and white roses. Miss Edith Fisher
presided at the organ and played
Mendelssohn wedding march, the effect
of the music adding much to the inter-
est and solemnity of the scene. The
rooms were tastefully decorated with
Ground Pine, Holly, Smilax and flowers.
After congratulations bountiful COLA
ton was served, and little before four
o'clock the happy pair brayed shower
of rice, and departed by train on a
wedding trip to Chicago, and thence to
Missouri, tor visit among the groom 5

tionally numerous and valuable. After

Ter will reside for the present at Fergu-

pal of the public schools of that place,
which is a suburb of st. Louis; but it is
not improbable that in the near future

Religions Notes.

MIR. Fowler, Lord Mayor of London
finds it against his conscience to 90 to
church on Sunday in the civic coach
with four horses servants in livery.
OF all trees, observe, God hath cho-
sen the vine, low plant that creeps
upon the helpful wall; of all beasts, the
soft and patient lamb; of all fowls, the
mild and guileless dove. Christ is the
rose of the field, and the lily of the val
ley. When God appeared to Moses, il
was not in the lofty cedar, nor in the
sturdy oak, nor in the spreading palm;
but in bush, humble, slender, abject
shrub; as if he would by these elections,
check the conceited arrogance of man.
OCen Feltlsam.
knowledge is said to be power.
knowledge is power in the same sense
that wood is fuel. Wood on fire is fuel.
knowledge on fire is power. There is
no more power in knowledge than there
is i'll the stones or stars which you know,
unless there be spiiit and life in the
knowledge which give it its energy. In
proportion as men have this spiritual
power do they become strong in the
world.-AleranOter " Kenzie.
Every year brings new knowledge of
the religions of the world, and every
step in knowledge brings out the SYM
pathy between them. They all show the
same aim, the same symbols, the same
aspirations. Looking at these points of
unity, we might say there is but one re-
ligion, under many forms, whose essen
tial creed is the Fatherhood of God, and
the Brotherhood of Man; disguised by
corruptions, symbolized by mythologies,
ennobled by virtues, degraded by vices,
but still the same. To say that differ
ent races worship different Gods is like
saying that they are warmed by differ
ent suns. The names differ, but the
sun is the same, and so is God. As
there is but one source of light and
warmth, so there is but one source of
religion. To this all nations testify
alike.-T w Higgtnson.

Christmas at the POOr.Farm

The same Christmas which comes to
every home in our land, and which is
marked so plainly with pleasant remem-
berances and gifts of friendship and af-
lection, hum bic though they may be,
which make the day hallowed and
blessed above all others, comes alike to
the rich, the poor and the afflicted.
Feelings not unlike to these, prompted
us to make a visit on Christmas day to
the Grant County Poor-Farm and In
sane Asylum. Being met at the gate
by the gentlemanly contractor, Mr..
Joseph Petty, we were escorted to the
house. A glance through the several
departments of the poor house, convinc-
ed us of its cleanliness and wholesome
tenor of all its appointments. The
inmates numbering 37-only 10 of
whom are women-reminded us of vet
Grams who having fought the fight
were willing to rest on their honors and
bide their time. On Christmas eve all
hung up their stockings, and received
in addition to candies and nuts, pre-
sent--not expensive or large of itself,
but a gift of sufficient worth to them to
gladden. their hearts and mark the day
as one bright epoch in their lives.
Passing into the asylum which was
bright and warm, we were informed
that 40 patients are now confined
there. Here the Christmas observances
did not materially differ from those in
the poor house. But one or two were
able to appreciate the kindness intend
ed. In the morning each was given
an allowance of candies, almonds and
nuts, and at noon chicken dinner with
a generous allowance of vegetables and
cake to which the poor unfortunates did
ample justice. Thus in brief was Christ
mas passed at the Poor-Farm and Asy-
lum-wholesome simple, and enjoyable
yet, who deplores his condition so
much, whose holiday has been so fraught
with sorrow, that he can not here learn
some lessons of thankfulness and hap
piness, or would willingly put himself
in their places.
