Near Sunset;

Sometimes, from fields grown sadly strange
Since robins fled. by woodland path,
Straight up the valley-head I range
To reap the days poor aftermath,
The spiders spin across my face;
The startled partridge, fleeing, makes
A sudden silence in the place
The rasping cricket scarcely breaks.
I climb the hill: the top draws nigh;
The path grows light again, and 10!
The pale new moon, the crimson sky,
The village on the plain below!
And weary huskers binding long
On dusky slopes, still bind by night,
While, like the murmur of a song,
Their talk is blown across the height.

The Tramp and the log.


A big lonesome-looking dog sat at the
gate of house on Cass avenue yesteH-
day, eyes full of tears and his whole
body shaking with cold. A tramp, who
had neither overcoat nor mittens, and
whose bare toes peeped through his
boots, was making his way up the street
in search Of the right kind OF side en-
trance, when he espied tho dog and
crossed over and said:
"Well. now, this is an unexpected
pleasure! Upon my soul, but I have
found one living thing in this town a.

tears, but had nothing to say.

the past ten days. Even again, eh?''
The dog shivered and whined and got
up and sat down, and the tramp drew
closer and said:

A HORRIBLE STORY,
Not Entirely True, But had Enough A
IL Was.

A horrible story Of ciuely to dumb brute
has been going around for day or two, tc
the effect thatfecently some young men were
driving hore in East Wheeling when The
animal baked and refused 10 60. After try
ing numerous expedients in common use
among teamt ters,. the story goes, the young
men got two mules, hi.ched tQem to chain
and fastened the other end OF the cham
around the homes tongue. The mules were
then whipped ur, and az the horse still re.
fused to move, his tongue wss pulled out by
the roots.
This story obtained general credence,
though how chain could be bitcsed TO q
horse's tongue is not easily imagined. A
reporter who got the story from IN official
who was orking up the case, found It TO be
a "thrte black crows" romance, though the
facts upon which II was founded were bad
enough. John Hahn was driving one OF
Beiberl's fopr.horse ict .wagons when the of
wheel horse baked, and all endeayors to get
him 10 pull wsrs vain. The other hoaes OF
the team were therefore whipped up, In the
hope Of pulling the stubborn one with them
Till his balkinesS was conquered. Instead OF
this, the horse lay down. The driver urged
the ether animals en-, and the tongue chain,
or breast chain, was pulled In such manner
as to nearly sever the horses tongue. Thisis
the way the case was representa- to Mr..
seibert, who promptly discharged Hahn.
The horse was given or sold TO South
Wheeling huckater, who turned him ont TO
pasture until his mouth was sufficiently heal
ed to eat grain.
While not as bad as represented the case
seems 10 be proper one for the Humane
Society TO take Cognizance OF.

Priest and Lecturer.

Priest and Lecturer.
New YoRx, July 4.-The Rev. Thomas
Nicholas Burke, the eloquent Irish priest
aud lecturer, died in the Tallsght Convent,
near Dublin, yesterday, at the age Of So.
Father Burke will be well remembered in
this city by the remarkable series Of lee.
lures which he delivered in the Academy
Of Music in 1872, in answer to the histO-
rian, James Anthony Froude, on the sub
ject OF English misrule in ireland.
He was born in Galway, Ireland, in
1880, and at the age Of seventeen went
to Rome, and from there to PerugiS,
where he entered the Order Of St Dominic
beginning his noviate and the study Of
philosophy. From Perugia he was again
sent TO Rome, where he studied theology
at the College OF the Minerva and Santa
Sabina, and after having spent five years
in Italy he was sent by the Superior OF his
order TO England, where he was ordained
priest in 1856. Father Burke then spent
four years on the English mission In Glou-
cestershire, after which he was sent to Ire
land to found novitiate and house Of
studies for his order at Tallagst, near
Dublin. He successfully accomplished
this work, and for the next seven years OF
his life he was actively engaged in the care
Of the new establishment ard in giving
missions in different paris Of Ireland. His
eloquence and learning had by this time
attracted the attention OF his superioB in
the Church Of Rome, and in 1868 be was
called to the Holy City and made Superior
Of the Monastery Of Irish Dominicans in
the Church OF St Clemente. Upon the
death Of Cardinal Wiseman Father Burke
succeeded DR.. Manning us preacher OF the
Lenten sermons in English in the Church
OF Santa Maria del Popolo, and
he continued TO preach these sermons
for Eve years. In 1870, he was sent
back to Ireland and attached to st. Savior's
Dominican Church in Dublin, and in 0c-
tober, 1871, he was made VisitatorG General
oil his order, and came 10 this country to
lecture and preach in behalf Of public
charities with which the church was iden-
tilted. He made q tour OF the United
States and Canada, his eloquence drawing
crowded houses wherever he spoke, and
the result was that large sums OF money
were realized from his lectures, which were
SO full OF interest to the general public that
they were reported very fully in the news
papers Of the large cities where he ap-
peared.

FATAL PAIL.
A Man Goes 10 sleep I'm window and
EalIa ONT.

Falls ont.
About twoo'clock this morning sIoken.
Ing accident happened at the Southwest
corner Of Market and Sixteenth streets, by
which William Wilson, man oftwenty.fve
or tWenty-IIx years Of age, came to his
death. Wilson is book binder, and
foreman OF the bindely OF fancy Bros, State
printers. he took his meals at Hspsrdeizsl's
restaurant, on. Upper Market Square, and
roomed in the three story brick building at
the corGer named, over the Senate saloon.
Shortly, before o'clock this morning he
got on. Of bed, and his room mate,
man named Cook, went to s!eep
aud knew nothing further OF Wilson until be
was wAkened and told OF the accident. II Is
supposed Wilson sat down In the window Of
his room, which opened on Market street, 70
ret some fresh air, and going to sleep there,
fell out. Waterman Tracy, whose beat ad.
joins Sixteenth street, heard q dull thud,
and gong 10 the spot found Wilson lying
there In pool OF blood. He had evidently
fallen on his head. :,
DR.. Z. 8. Harvey was summoned by tele
phone, and at once repaired to the place. He
pronounced the man dead, and gave orders
for the care Of the corpse. The polite were
promptly on hand, and sent word to Coroner
Schullzs.
A foolish idea seemed to prevail that ha
could not be touched until the arrival OF
the Coroner, and hence, In spite OF the re-
monstrance Of an lETEILIGKNcER reporter,
the man was left lying on the pavement In
his blood, with but his undershirt on, and a
sheet spread over him.
Wilson'S home was in Cleveland, and he
had only been in the city few weeks. He
was large, heavy man, and his fall OF thirty
or forty feet was necessarily fatal.
Mr.. Cook said Wilson hSd not bten drink
ing any that could be noticed.
