4 POET says: ''The beauty Of her
hair bewilders me-pouring adown the
brow its cloven tide, swirling about
the ears on either side, and falling
around her neck unanimously. :"
Very poelical, that but after he is
married and sees her hair swirling
adown the chairback on either side,
OR pouring its cloven tide over one end
of the bureau, Or falling around the
bed-post unanimously, the probabili-
ties are that his present bewilderment
will be 80 per cent more bewilder-
ing. He will be paralyzed.-Bing-
hamton Republican.

Our Ravensw0Od Trip.

v
A pleasant ride on the steamer
Harry Knox, witch a good supper
by the way, brought US to the hos
pitable shades OF Ravenswood. -
Now, this is not the journalistic
word "hospitable,pthat will fit any
sort of entertainment, from the
scanty frst.class hotel to the ele-
CANT ithird,ratel boarding house;
but the genuine O old time word
that means, cordial greeting, large
airy bed rooms, palatable food, and
taking you into the heart, that
makes one feel one ought to be an
angel to merit such reception. 81
Eight o'clock found Eus in the
Baptist Church, crowded with the
denizens of this beautiful river
town, waiting to hear Mrs. Wells
expound the gospel of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union,
which she did better than we ever
heard her before, and to theevident
satisfaction of her audience. ba3i3a
At the close of herlecture, Rev.
J. w. Lambert explained the plan
of Incorporating the W. c.. T. u,
adopted at our convention, and
urged the citizens TO take stock in
this worthy enterprise. hajDd.7i..5
Next morning, accom- panied by
our kind hostess, Mrs. A. e. Tay-
lor, who is President of the local
W. G. T. U.,we called upon a num-
Der of mem bers of the Union, who,
without exception, responded
heartily by taking share of stock,

coaxing usuallyenecessary to secure
consent. ~fiQs nj uoia 'sidG
AT neon, Mrs. Wetzela sscame on
duty" and if space would permit
we should like to give our tenn
perance workers a short sketch of
the pleasant homes visited and
their earnest occupants. faj There
was an eagerness to learn and an
anxiety to do, that was refreshing
to the worker that had been both
pulling and pushing, and reminded
US of an incident that occurred
few years ago on arailroad train
Coming into the car with a friend,
we found Miss Willard and Miss
Gordon, weary and worn out from
the labors of a National Conven-
ton, en- route to fill lecture en-
gagement that night. 4e.sadi
Anxious to have some questions
answered relative to the Temper
ance work, we talked quite a little
while, when, remembering her
WEAKNESS and the work before her,
we apologized tor this additional
strain upon her strength. j-az
With her characteristic kindess
and encouragement she said; 81
just told Anna it rested me to come
across one really interested in the
Temperance work, without having
to go through the process of pun
melting it into her." ft-
Mr.. w. V. Atha kindly engin-
eered us through the business part

A Great Goal Broakur Burned.

The Derrnger colliery at Derringer,

morning. The flames were discovered
about A. NJ by the watchman, in the
upper part of the structure. The alarm
was Immediately given, aud all the work

structure that the utmost efforts to ssYe it
were futile, and the building was quickly
destroyed, The shops and offices near by
were, With the utmost difficulty, saved.
The breaker was one OF the largest in the
coal regions. 1t a new one, having been
completed only one year ago. 1t cost, com
plete, over $3.50, 900, being filled with the
most improved and expensive machinery,
and was fully insured While the fire was
at its height, the scene was one Of appal-
ling grandeur. The building, which cover
ed two acres of ground and rose to height

the ground. They were plainly visible at
distance Of ten miles, and at 800 yards
from the blazing building the heat was 30
Intense that it scorched the faces and hands

and boys will be thrown out Of work, and
the village Of Derringer, which was entire

of the fire, and there Is some suspicion oil

The fortune which it is hoped will be
brought across the ocean has been variously
estimated at isbulous figures, but recent
discoveries place 1t at $4,000 900. This
