A big gopher hunt is reported as having
been participated in by Uhe officials, passen-
gers and hands of the Los Gatos train of the
South Pacific Coast Railroad last Sunday, on
the trip. little this side of Halls Station,
in consequence of the storm, the track, with
water, and the train had to make but slow
progress for something like three miles. Fin
ally, reaching a certain point, Engineer
Badly could see but one rail above the water.
and to insure the safety of the train he stop
ped his engine, put on pair rubber boots and
waded ahead to make certain that the track
was all right He noticed on the rail in
sight numerous little animals, and a closer
investigation showed them to be gophers that
had been driven out of their holes by the
high water, and their only places of refuge
were on the higher ground on the rails and
the fence alongside the road. One of the
little animals, not liking the near approach
of the engineer, revenged itself by biting
him in the calf of the leg. The latter was
not pleased and got even by kicking the
gophers into the water. The train hands and
passengers, observing the peculiar antics of
Badly, sailed out, and with clubs, sticks
pieces of coal and all manner of weapons,
made it lively for the little animals. Arriv-
ing at Alvarado, the train hands informed
the citizens of the fun they had had, and the
latter went back and succeeded in killing
from four to five hundred of gophers. At
Newark the rain had driven out many of the
animals, and some two hundred were killed.
These gophers, with squirrels and field mice,
are regular pests throughout the southern
counties, and it is thought that the late
storms have caused the death of millions of
them. If this is true the storm may not
prove so disastrous to the country as it was
feared it might.-San Francisco Cal.

j DREAMED OF YOU,

Last night dear one, dreamed that you were
dead;

Your dear eyesGclosed, their light forever fed
Your heart at rest.

Peacefully beyond my power to under
stand;
l kissed your lips as in the days of old g
clasped your hand.
And oh the world with all it held for me,
Grew dark as night, and every hope
seemed fed;
No joy in all the earth my soul could see,
For you were dead.

I was alone.
awoke-the morning sky was bright with day,
The birds were singing sweetly overhead;
The sweet June roses blossomed fresh and gay /;
You were not dead.
And when we met you did not understand
That you were dearer to me, ten times DER;
That truer, warmer seemed your little hand
Than eer before.
Nor can you ever know how much Iprize
The precious jewel trusted TO my care,
Nor that my heaven is in your tender eyes
And sunny hair
That dream was but an angel in disguise,
That filled my soul with bitterest distress;
For It's by loss we really learn TO prize
What we possess.
IT'S ever TINS; life's lessons are not learned ;
We do not know the blessings which we own,
Until, bereft, the bleeding heart has yearned
Ger angels flown.

"LOvE AND FAME"
BY LILLIAN spENcER.

Once longed for idle praises;
Vain ambition thrilled my soul;
Life for me was filed with fancies,
OF which honor was the goal,
And / sickened with the longing
And despairing of my soul!
Years toiled. the golden ladder
Slowly l began to climb;
Far above in the ascendant
Soon star was seen to shine;
Feeble, Pickering, struggling ever,
Still 1t shone with light divine.
Guidcd by its light the pathway
Wider grew with every hour.
Once when footsore and disheartened
Istoopcd and plucked little fiowef'
That by artless, sweet beguilings
Lured me to its fairy bower.

In the shelter of its cove:
But the longing came upon me
And l promised ! would prove
First unto the world my genius,
Then return to find my love.
at last. o triumph! fame was mine.
Stars in millions DER my head
Shone with mystic light divine.
As the pathway smooth tread
To find this little flower of nine,
And found it cold and dead!
Oh, then what was my fame to me!
What the plaudits Of the brave,
Since naught of all my lifeless Hover
Had strength of power to save!
I laid my crown of laurel down
And buried it in the grave!

half miles from Spurn Point in Yorkshire.
All lightships give direct warning in the
event of vessel approaching too closely to
the shoals in their vicinity by firing gun

The London Echo says: Enthusiastic
church men are always ready to subscribe
literally toward the foundation Of new
bishoprics, of ecclesiastical Injuries of like
nature; but when densely populated parish
in Northampton, with its one little church
filled to overlooking, modestly wants another
place of worship, it is reduced in desperation
to take the Non conformist public into its
confidence, and subscriptions from wherever
it can. What makes it worse is, that there
is neither endowment nor rector's house at
tached to what, by stretch of fancy, is termed
the present ''hving.''
The most exciting leap year incident so
far reported is that which comes from st.
Elmo, Ill. 1t appears that on Sunday last,

| occupying his pulpit in that city. Mrs. Mary
Smith, a dashing young widow, left her seat
in the body of the church and went up and
stood beside him. To the establishment Of
the congregation she announced that she
was about to become Mrs. Pierce. She had,
| it is rumored, become infatuated with the
young divine, and to this and the excite
ment of religious revival, at which she was
converted, her temporary insanity is attribu-
| ted.

crag, at the entrance to which Christ stands
clothed in white, bearing a cross. His hand
raised as if in invitation to the great num-
Der of sorrowful figures who fill the fore
ground, representing almost every class of
human sufferers-the aged. sick, manned,

NEARLY all the recent Premiers of England
have enjoyed the advantage of having had
wives of great devotion and considerable
ability, to whose tender care and sympathy
in their ambition they have been largely in
debted. The devotion of the Countess of
Russell. who is still living, and the Countess
of Beaconsfeld, had something OF romance.
Mrs. Gladstone, who is nearly the same age
as the Premier, accompanies her husband, as
did Lady Beaconsfeld, everywhere, and fire.

close of the nights sitting. Lord Palmers-
ton, more than, perhaps, any other first min

and its maintenance to his wife, who was

of a young woman of 20.

THE clergy, as well as the people of the
country, seem to be waking up to sense Of
the need of special efforts to meet the rising
tide of crime and immortality, especially in
our cities. The following despatch was re-

the state of things there is probably no
worse than in other cities of the land: ga
sermon preached by the Rev. C. W. Cushing
last Sunday, on the present alarming condi-
ton of crime in this city, is attracting much
attention. He referred to the fact that Ro-
chester had become paradise for gamblers
and that gambling dens abounded on every
principal street. Liquor shops and faro
banks are kept open on Sunday, and a num-
Der of pool and billiard rooms are allowed
open in direct violation Of the city ordnan-
ances and state laws. The Rev. Mr.. Cushing
had evidently been well informed, and no
one has attempted to refute any of his
charges"

TIMELY TOPICS.

Rus1oRs are agin set ahoat of the removal OF
Pope Leo and the papal throne from Rome.
He has held himself, as did his predecessor,
Pho Nino, prisoner in the Vatican. refuses
to receive the stipend proffered by the
Italian government and feels still further
Inundated by the late decision of the Court
of Cassatian, declaring thatthe Propaganda
property must be converted into Italian
government bonds. the Pope regards this
decision as threatening his independence,
and disturbed by the firm rejection OF MS
claims to temporal power it is intimated that
he seriously contemplates removal TO
Malta, an island in the Meditarrean, so
near Rome as to make its occupation not
impracticabe and seriously inconvenient
The island Of Malta is an English possession,
and the POpe's residence there would remove
him from the humiliation OF being within
the jurisdiction of the Italian government
All this is mere speculation, and as specious
as it may appear, there is indeed no likeli-
hood that the Pope will leave the Vatican. 1t
has, indeed, been rumored since the loss Of
papal temporal power was so CALLING result,
that the papal throne and its occupant
would be removed to America, consum-
nation quite as likely to occur, in the esti-
nation of intelligent observers, as
the Popes removal to Malta. 1t
is not likely that the powerful ecclesiastical
occupant of the Vatican, will throw away the
prestige which has been enjoyed since
the middle of the fourth century, when Con-
stantine raise the church of Rome to world
wide supremacy The removal of the papal
See from Rome, would mark the decadence
of the church, and would be followed by a
loss of ecclesiastical prestige, power and in
fuence that could never be regained.
