FAIR HAVEN.
A Detriment To Boatmen-Ffre On A Steamer-Other Notes of InfereAt.

A Detrfment To Boatmen-Fire On A Steamer-Other Notes of Interest. The harbor on the east side is so covered
 With Ice that sharpies are unable to sail
 around, and the boatmen are out of a job at present.
 "You wouldn't think" remarked a well
 known oysterman last evening, "that there harbor to freeze; but it is fact though. The channel in the river won't freeze up, think, because the steam CTS go up and down so often that it doesn't get a chance. Down the harbor, however, the tugboats travel in the same track that
 the steamers do and so the sharpies stand no chance at all." The boatmen hope that the
 harbor has not closed up permanently, as if it has their occupation is gone. The dealers they need to fill immediate orders are also anxious that the river should not freeze up at once.
 O. A. Rose & Co., and D. M Welck & Son have had new signs erected in front of their stores.
 The H. A. Stevens, one of Captain Caleb Luddington's steamers, caught fire yesterday | morning while racing with Captain Potters steamer Molly. The engineer, David Chip men, thought that he smelled something burning and on going on deck perceived that the house was on fire. He immediately called the others aboard the boat and the flames were quickly extinguished. In about a minute more the whole vessel l would have been wrapped in flames. The damage fortunately was light and is fully covered by insurance.

THE STRUGGLE IN THE souDAN,
Gen. Earle Leads q Bayonet Charge,
and Goes to Meet Gordon in the
Land Beyond.

Gen. Earle Leads q BayOnet Charge,
and Goes to Meet Gordon in the
Land Beyond.
LONDON, Feb. 1l-Gen. Earle was
killed on Tuesday during the storDing
of the snemy's position at Brit
The Standards correspondent with
Gen. Earle's column sends the following
dispatch, dated Dulks Island, Tuesday
The British troops advanced to attack
the enemy who held strong position Oh
the bills. After fighting, the enemy was
completely surrounded. Finding it i'm
possible to dislodge the rebels from their
fortified position. Gen. Earle ordered the
troops the charge.
Gen. Earle was killed while leading
the attack. The Black Watch Regiment
captured the position at the point Of the
bayonet, the cavalry taking possession
of the enemy's camp. Gen. Bracksnbu7
ry, upon the fall of Gen. Earle, assumed
command. and ordered the remaining
positions of the enemy to be stormed.
The troops acted promptly, made gal"
liant attack and soon captured all the en-
emy's positions. The fighting lasted
five hours. There was great slaughter
among the enemy. These who survived
escaped by swimming the river.
Another account of the death of Gen.
Earle, dated Korti, says. "Gen. Earle
was killed in action on Tuesday. The
fight occurred near the Nile, a few miles
above Dulka Island. The Arabs had
fortified the pass and had built small
fort Oh the left bank OF the river. When
Gen. Earle's forces reached the pass they
were subjected to heavy fire from field
guns, which th Arabs had placed in
positions. Gen. Earle had
no artillery, and commanded his troops
to charge. 1t was more scramble than
a charge, but the Arabs were driven
from the heights at the point of the
bayonet and fell back slowly toward the
river. All that then remained to be
captured was the little fort on the river
bank. As the British column advanced
it was met by steady, well directed fire
from behind the sand and watlings
which composed the Arab fort, and
many men of the attacking party were
killed Gen. Earle again ordered the
men to charlie and put himself at the
head of the column. He was killed du-
ring this charge. The fort was ultimate
" captured, but at terrible cost. In
to Gen. Earle, three officers and
eight men were killed, and 35 men

A Story of a New Rose.

+ The new rose, Beauty of America,
now the sensation in Washington, has
history. 1t is well known that Mr..
Bancroft, the historian, has in his
grounds at Washington one of the rarest
and finest collections of roses in Ameri-
ca. His gardener was privileged to take
the seeds produced to experiment on,
and thousands of plants were raised
from these. but only one plant showed
indications of excellence. This was a
poor, tiny neglected one, growing among
others. 1t probably would have been
lost to cultivation had it not been seen
by florist, who purchased the plant
two years ago from the original grower
for the sum of IS ceBtsl Two years in
the hands of this florist has produced
plants enough to sell this spring for
$4,000, all of which are already sold to
New York and Philadelphia in lots
ranging from 500 to 1000. These plants
are but an inch high and cost $50 hun
dred.
Such results are very encouraging to
the originators of new varieties. With>
In two years three roses have been in
trodueed here-the Sunset" of last
spring brought the originator $4,000 /;
the "Bennet,' of Philadelphia, will net
$4,000, while the beauty of America
will bring $5,OOo.-N. Y. Evening Post.

The Inaugural Festivities Planned on
Colossal Scale.


Some idea of the size of the Pension
building, where the biggest inaugural
ball ever given in this country will be
held on March 4, may be got from the
fact that st. Peters. at Rome, only holds
about 81, 900 persons, while the Pension
building will hoid about $1,000. Just
now it is wilderness of scaffolding, but
order is coming out of chaos as if by
magic. On Monday of last week the
canvas roof was put on. 1t is like a
double a tent, with three great roof
trees to support it. besides an ingenious
contrivance to hold it in place. No such
ballroom was ever dreamed of as that of
the great courtyard rooted over. It is
surrounded by large balconies supported
by IA pillars. The space under these
baIconies make a magnificent prone
made.
The President will enter the room by
the north door, which will be draped
with crimson silk curtains. The oppo-
site door will be concealed by q gigantic
mirror. These entrances are really car
riageways, so their size may be imagin>
ed. The decorations will be of the most
expensive material. The New York
contractors have insured the decora-
tions for $4,000. The balconies will be
hung with dark red velvet; spangled
with gold. EacG of the IA pillars will
be hung with silk flags, while bensath
the balconies will be shields embroider>
ed with the coats of arms of the differ
ent States and Territories, and hung
with silk flags, tipped with silver spear
points. The Botanical Gardens, the Ag-
ricultural Department. and the White
House will be furnished unlimited palms
and ferns.
President Cleveland will return to the
custom of Washington and Jefferson
and stand Oh dais during opening cere-
monies of the ball. By his side will be
a chair made of flowers, and the dais
will have over it a canopy of flowers.
Every bare spot an the wall will be
covered with bunting, and the eight
great pillars, reachiug from floor 10 rouf,
will be covered with silica to represent
marble. The electric light will he freely
employed, and over the dais will be- the
American eagle done in gas jets. Amosg
the ornaments will be the Capitol made
of flowers and large floral ships.
The supper will be s-rved In the small
rooms, Hunting Hammond, of the MUIR
ry Hill Hotel, haviLg the contract. 1t
will cost $3.50 to wax the floor for the
dances. President Cleveland will dance
the opepidg quadrille with Mrs. McEl>
roy, and ex+President Arthur with Miss
Cleveland.

THE CARE OF THE EYES.
Hints About Choosing Glasses thai
May be of Value to Many People.

There is a great difference in the
price of eyeglasses and spectacles," an
optician said. You can buy a pair of
eye glasses for fifteen cents, while pair
that looks exactly like them will cost
you So. The difference between them
is that by using one pair man is very
liable to ruin his sight, while the oth.r
will materially aid it."
what makes the difference in value ?
The quality of the glass and the
amount of work used in polishing them.
The cheap ones are generally made of
very common glsss,iand are by no means
perfect. Sometimes there are bubbles
in them, and sometimes there are wavy
lines. You have looked through win
daw glass that distorted everything,
haven't you? Well, just imagine TAX
ing such kind of glass to improve your
sight with. Persons are not half careful
enough of their eyes. and the sight Of
thousands of persons has been injured
by using bad and unsuitable glasses.
Poor quality glasses are injurious
enough, but when person looks through
glasses that are both poor in quality and
in no way fitted to improve his sight. be
runs terrible risk"
"Can not one tell if the glasses help
him?'
That depends on circumstances. If
a man finds that he is getting far-sight>
ed and tries on pair of far-sighted
glasses, and they make him SEE better
at the time, be is apt to buy them. They
may, however, be too old, and thus strain
his sight; or, they may be too young for
him, and he does net receive the benefit
that he should By going to firstrate
optician his sight would be tried in a
proper manner, and be would get just
the right kind of glasses. 1t is very
false economy to buy cheap glasses. I've
seen man stop at a stand on the street
and buy pair of glasses for a quarter.
Just by trying them on and looking at
newspaper. Lots of persons eyes are
not of the same strength, and ought to
have glasses of different strength in the
same frame. If a. man with eyes of
this character gets ready made pair of
spectacles be is. going to suffer. ."-Phila.

~TAKE CARE

When q shadow is on your heart,
And you know not the reason why,
When the tear unbidden will start.
And unbidden will come the sigh,
Take carei
Watch, for there's cause for fear;
Watch, for an enemys near;
Watch as the little bird watches
When the sparrow-hawk's in the air.
When the hope in your life turns pale,
And your courage dies vaguely out,
When you feel that the staff may fail
You have trusted without doubt,
Take carel
The shadow of sorrow is long;
Watch, there is methiDg wrong;
Watch as the pilot watches
When storm is in the air.
There's feeling you know not whence
A whisper you know not where,
That saws to some innermost sense,
OF which you are dimly aware,
Take carei
Fly to your covert, fly,
And danger may pass you by;
Fly as the hart to the mountain
When the hounds are scenting the air.
When the love that was strong turns
weak,
The love YOU have trusted long,
Ana you feel that you need not speak,
That whatever you say is wrong,
Take carei
And hide you little while
From the smile that is only guile,
And watch as the little bird watches
When the spsrrow-hawk's in the air.
A foe that is fair and open
You may fight and keep your place,
But who can fight with a shadow
That never will show its faceT
Take carei
When you fear, and know not why,
When you fail, though you bravely Try,
Then watch as the little bird watches
When the sparrow-hawS's in the alr.
