BURIED IN THE sANp.
Badly Bruised by the Gazing In OF
Man-h0ie.

John Mailey me, with quite a serious
accident yesterday. He has been engaged
in digging the sewer on Hill street, and at
the time of the accident was assisting in
digging the man-hole on the corner of
Hill and Twentieth streets. When they
had reached depth of about ten feet the
sides of the embankments suddenly gave
way. Mailey's companion escaped, but
he was imprisoned by the falling earth
nearly up to the armpits. His companion
Immediately commenced to dig him out,
and in a short time he was released and
conveyed to Gray & Pearse's drug store
and the medical remedies obtained. His
injuries were found to be painful. but not
serious, no bones being broken but he was
badly bruised. He was then taken to his
residence and late this evening was suffer
ing considerably, but feeling much better.
Work on the man-hole has been aban-
doned until the sides can be walled up so
as to prevent another accident of a similar
character.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.


Sometimes when have dropped to sleep,
Draped in a soft, luxurious gloom,
Across my browsing mind will creep
The memory of another room,
Where resinous knots in roof-boards made
"A frescoing Of light and shade,
And signing popfars brushed their leaves
Against the humbly-sloping caves.
Again fancy In my dreams
Pm lying in my trundle-bed;
seem to see the bare old beams
And unhewn rafters overhead;
The hornets shrill falsetto hum
hear again, and see him come
Forth from his mud-walled hanging house,
Dressed in his black and yellow blouse.
There, Summer-dawns in sleep / stirred,
( And wove into my fair dream's woof
The chattering of martin-bird,
Or rain-drops pattering on the roof;
Or, half awake and half In fear,
I saw the spider spinning near
His pretty castle, where the fly
Should come TO ruin by-and-by.
And there fashioned from my brain
Youths shining structures IN the air.
| did not wholly build in vain,
For some were lasting, firm and fair
And am one who lives to say
My life has held more gold than gray,
And that the splendOr of the real
Surpassed my early dreams ideal.
But still love to wander back
To that old time and that old place
To thread my way DER Memoryis track,
And catch the early mornings grace
In that quiet room beneath the rafter,
That echoed TO my childish laughter;
To dream again the dreams that grew
More beautiful as they came true.

three cheers were given for the Demo

Democrats, who could sing quite well,
sang a song to the tune of "Bonnie

plauded. After that the President
made speech, in which he clearly
showed that he favored the election
of Blaine more than Of Cleveland.
When he had finished, Mr.. Y. was

We were forty-thIce strong. Pretty
soon Miss g. arrived upon tho scene
and said she had called the meeting,
and wanted TO know how many could
keep secret. OF course all hands
went up, She said the Republicans
would have parade that evening,
and she would have their line of march
directed to the dining-room. There,
she said, she proposed that We be

Dramatic Incident in SOntay.
lFrom the St. james Gazette. j

The Saigonnais narrates rather
dramatic incident which occurred at the
capture of Sontay and brought the re.
sistance of the besieged to an end.
The French Admiral, we are told, had
taken his stand on some breastworks
which had been thrown up near the fortiti
cation and was personally directing the
operations Of the attacking forces. In
the very heat of the enga yenent the fire
from the town suddenly slackened and
soon ceased altogether. The Viceroy OF
Yun-Nan, it appears, had always be-
lieved Sontay to be an impregnable fort
ress, and when he heard that
the French were marching upon
it he set out for the place
himself, as he wished to be present to
witness their defeat, which he regarded
as inevitable. Accompanied by the
First Lieutenant, or aide-de-camp, OF
the Chief of the Black Flags, he went
from rank to rank encouraging the SOL
diers, and at length found himself facing
the French Admiral, who, in his exposed
position, not quite 200 yards off, present
ed an inviting target to the enemy. "You
have there before you," said the Vice.
roy, turning to the young officer, s'the
chief of those bands of barbarians who
have sworn to destroy US. You pass for
being a ekillful marksman; here is an
opportunity Of proving yourself deserv-
ing of your reputation"
The officer put his rifle to his shoul-
der and took a steady aim at the Ad-
miral; but before he could pull the trig-
ger he fell mortally wounded on the
body Of the Viceroy, who was shot
through the heart almost at the same
moment, The news of their death
spread Immediately through the ranks ;
the Black Flags fed for refuge to the
citadel, and in less than an hour after.

SEED CORN.

Though the amount of seed coin
needed upon most single farms is small.
yet IN the aggregate she amount needed
for seeding the total corn area Of the
United States is enormous. According
to the Department of Agriculture re.
turns there were in Indian corn in this
country in 1883 total Of 6S, ,sO1, ,ss9
acres. Taking the country together we
suppose the average amount of seed
corn used pei, acre is five quarts. Then
to seed these 6s, ,3Ol, 1888 acres would re.
quire 341, ,509.445 quarts or 1O,672. .17O

SCOTCH CHARITY,

The Scotch have recently given re-
markable proof OF their wealth and
charity. The failure of the City of Glas-
gov bank few weeks ago was the great
est calamity which ever befell that peo-
pie, and though every dollar of indebt.
edness was paid, many Of the stockhold-
ers-al OF whom were in what they
believed to be exceedingly well-to-
do circumstance impoverished.
Sympathy for these led to a popular
subscription for their benefit. The re-
suit was fund of over a million and
haifs OF dollars of which the people Of
Glasgow subscribed nearly $500, 900 and
those of Edinburg nearly half million
dollars. The Scotch may be hard
headed, but they are evidently tender
hearted,

Wong Chin Foo the Chinese pre not
