THE LOST CHILD.
NANCY A. W. PRIEST.

They sought her in the field and grove
Where'er they thought her feet might rove
Exploring every nook and cove;
And down within the shady dell
Where the wild lily hung its bell
And filled the air with pleasant smell,
And where wild rose and ivy made
Alternate streaks of sun and shade,
And the light chestnut tassels sWayed;
And where the pale sweet May pinks grew
And ViOlets opened eyes OF blue
Weeping bright drops of honeydew;
But all in Vainl Then someone said,
"The river winds along its bed
Through meadows blossomed white and red
Perhaps shewandered there" All feet
Were turned toward this last retreat
Where they might hope the child to meet.
And one along the river side
On white sand left there by the tide,
The prints of tiny feet espied.
And STOPPING down with straining sight
And eyes hand-shaded from the light,
CaugL t faint glimpse of something white.
He raised it with a trembling hand,
And drew it heavily to land,
And laid the dead child on the sand.

Observation-Disclosures Of the Battle.
Cor London Daily News.
We know, approximately, what the
numbers were which attacked us at
Tamai, or, to use the name which is gen
orally known and is applicable to the
whole district, Tamanieb. But the num-
bers present in the immediate vincinity
of the actual scene of conflict may never
be ascertained. It is believed there were
large bodies which never engaged us at
all, which would have swept upon us if
the first rush had been successful, and
which drew off through the ravines as
soon as they saw how completely the on
slaught of their fellow tribesmen had
been repulsed. Every Arab tribe, from
Kassaia toSuakim, was represented there
on the day of the battle, and probably
every tribe has lost more or fewer of its
bravest warriors. The Arab tactics have
been to make their first rush with their
very best men, leaving it to others to fol-
low and complete the confusion andhop-
editor massacre. They we're perhaps the
most savagely ferOcious foes with whom

The curiosity of a child of five has
been aroused by seeing a magnifying
glass. "How many times does it mag

puzzle him. GAS many times as you
look through it," was the quick reply.

the oil. 1t measures sixty feet in length.

The first returns make the republican majority
In Vermont only about q 900. though later fig
ures are likely TO rather increase this total
Hence there has been slight falling on In the
usual republican majority, which has varied for the
last twenty years from 23.OOO to $4,000 and the
democrats Will make haste TO extract whatever
comfort and encouragement lie In this fact. The
returns certainly Indicate an absence of enthusiasm
IN Vermont for Blaine; q state OF feeling which
scarcely needed the demonstration OF a ballot to
prove. The Vermont republicans wanted Edmunds
nominated, and, as a class did not want Blaine at
the head OF the ticket This feeling. as was TO be
expected, showed itself yesterday at the polls.
Very few republicans went so far as TO vote the
democratic ticket, but many sta1d at home,
knowing the party would win in any case, and
indifferent 20 the appeal that the size OF the
majority would be personal endorsement of
Blaine This was notably the case in Burlington,
the home OF Edmunds, which went democratic for
the first time in its history Col. Hooker who ran
for the legislature, also defeated In Brattle-
boro, owing In part to the independent vote.
Whatever "moral effect belongs to the election
may, therefore, be claimed by the democrats It
will be vel, however, for them to wait Till Maine
speaks before making up their predictions. In
state where Blaine IS cOnfesSedy weak. the party
majority has slightly fallen of; If now, in Maine,
where Blaine should be strong, a similar apathy
prevails, it Will indeed be significant symptom.
IL should be borne in mind that in Vermont the
causes which hurt Cleveland in important doubtful
states have only a slight influence. There Is In
that state only small foreign labor class tariff
interest. so that the arguments which are proving
So troublesome In New York and New Jersey would
receive little attention. The most active inaglna-
ton could not conceive strong Butler In Yer
mont, whereas in New York he Is likely to have
many thousand supporters

work" The hollow in the tree
ended near the top. Filling the
hollow near the ground with cOmbus-
tibIes, the torch was promptly ap-
piled, when "make ready!" was COM
manded, and four fifteen shooters,
with their magazines full Of bullets,
bore upon the tree from bottom to
top. What a tableau! There was
no escape. Expectation promised a
bear and that he would show his
head at the upper opening. But in
this it failed. The combination of
fire and fire arms had telling effect
on what ever was in the hollow; it
had peeped out somehow and took in
the situation, and concluded to roast
whole rather than be shot into mince
meat; and when the materials which
had served as food of the fire had
burnt to ashes, down dropped from
the hollow parched and burnt
something, when Gus. exclaimed,
"What in the name Of the ace Of
spades is that2 A roasted coon,
sure, and just the right brown; get
salt and let us eat coon dinner and
be merry"
Thus ended the days, as well as
the seasons, hunt. The party re-
turned home the next day, the hunt
having been a great success and for
Mr.. Bruce Wolcott grand triumph.
Mr.. Holderby brought down fine
buck with his new Winchester at a
long range, and also killed some wild
turkeys. Others of the party were
alike successful.

at loss to know, and the people at

how they are going to lodge the scores
of thousands of strangers who are
coming to ses the Inauguration Of the
first Democratic President in alUlost
thirty years. The friends of Mr.
Cleveland are determined that his
accession to office shall be more
stilted than Mr.. Jefferson's, who rode
to the Capitol on horse bach, tied his
nag to tree, took the oatl of Office,
and trotted off just as he had been in
the habit of taking grist to the mill.

is an immense carayansary, capable
of sheltering fifteen hundred people
and dining half of that number at
once. 1t has already rejected four
thousand applications for quarters.
The Arlington, Ebbitt, Riggs, Ma
tional and Metropolitan, which can
accommodate an aggregate of five
thousand guests, have already agreed
to provide for all that they can pos
sibly find room for, as have all the
eating houses and other places where
refreshment for man aud beast is
usually supplied. Alexandria, (Va.,)
FIVE miles away, has also been drawn
upon for all the room that she can
furnish and the prospect bids fair
