BIindfOldiRg An Eagle.

One day a Munich nurse put her
charge down on the grass for a short
time. Suddenly q great eagle came
sweeping down and attacked the baby.
In an instant the nurse threw her
shawl at the bird. It fortunately
went over his head, so it not only pre-
vented his seeing the child. but stop
ped his flying away. The nurse then
caught hold of him, and chung to him
with the shawl tight over his head till

a handsome present, and ordered the
bird to be kept in the menagerie.

Merchant Ships In War.
New York Mail and Express

NOW
Two very significant circumstances
are now presented to the people Of the
United States as to the effect of great
war in Europe upon the shipping of
the countries participating in it, One
is the fact that five Russian ships are
now waiting ia this port for decision
as to whether there is to be peace or
war between Great Britain and Rus
STA, and the others is that the British
men-of-war are cruising near Hamp
ton Roads, ready to intercept the Rus
sian sloop now in port at Norfolk,
where she is waiting to begin an
tack upon the British merchant Reet
as soon as the Gar issues q declara-
tiCn of war from Moscow. Evidently
merchant vessels of both counties
will be in peril, whatever sea they
may navigate during the war which
is now impending, and naval combats
between cruisers serving as commerce
destroyers" Will be among the most
exciting events of the conflict There
can be no doubt that Russia can obtain
swift cruisers enough to strike a des-
trUctive blow al British shipping, and
if Great Britain and Russia are foolish
enough to fight, certainly we ought
not be foolish enough to permit the
opportunity to slip which war will
present for the restoration OF our ship
ping. Prompt action will bereguired,
and the people Of the United States
ought now to be considering what it
shall be.

worshiped him secretly and afar off
from Jeff's descriptions-and made
him the hero of more than one 70
nance; and now there he was sitting
in my easy chair chatting to me as if
he had known me all his life-as. in
deed, I suppose he had in way, for
Jeff surely must have mentioned me
to him.
After asking all sorts of questions
about my brother, he stood up to 90,
and desired me not to forget the story
but then more than ever | resolved
not to write, as no doubt he would &C.
cept in from mere pity.
Three months passed away, and I
was on terms almost of civility with
my hated editor; but I had written
nothing for the Arlington-on that
point was obstinate had I told
Mr.. Cashelton very much about nv.
self Or my OWE Affairs beyond the first
sudden burst of confidence, which
seemed inevitable. What [ wrote and
how succeeded [ never talked about
in spite of several 1nsinuating cues
tions, but about JEFF | would talk
for hours, and he did not seem to
weary of the subject either.
Sometimes I accompanied him to an
afte rnoon concert at st. James Hall
or a matinee at the LYceum, and he
was always very kind and attentive;
but | never could get over the fact
that he had laughed at my poetry.
Had he laughed only at nsyself
should have forgiven and forgotten
it.
One evening he called after having
absented himself for a fortnight, and
| was wondering, ia spite of myself,
what could have have happened to
him. [ was about to call Mrs. Kent
to light the gas, though it was really
quite bright, when he stopped me.
Don't ring for lights" he said, in
his lazy way; I want to talk to you.
I have something very particular to
say, Madeline, and I want to say it to
you alone, Madeline"-and somehow
he got possession of both nay hands
Il love you; I want you for my
wife; [ want to take care of you, dear,
if you will let me-"
81 cant help it," I returned feebly
and vaguely.
mo, of course not, I don't want
you to. Darling, you must have seen
that [ love you, and you must, you
surely must care for me little in
returnr'
IT don't know" I said, more feeb}y
still; and the golden opportunity for
revenge and retaliation was gone for
ever. I might have been cold and
proud, naughty and defiant, laughed
in his face, and told him I scorned
his love as he had scorned my poetry ;
instead of which I stood trembling
and blushlng in his arms while he
kissed my face and called me all sorts
of pretty names; and in spite of my
self, confess liked it. It is humil~
iating, it is horrid, but it is true-I
did love the handsome hateful editor.
Six months afterward we were
married at St Georges, Bloomsbury !;
and when JEFF came home and heard
all about it, I thought he would have
gone out Of his mind with joy. Now
[ write what [ please for the Airing
ton, and though the editor goes over
it, he does not dare alter syllable,
so that in that respect [ have gained
my point. I have conquered my first
editor.

GOV.
No longer in thy covert mays't thou hide;
know thee by the orld's returning joy,
By sounds of cheer in all the valleys wide,
BY myriad arts the wizard winds employ
And murmuring woods where waking dryads
bide
Come forth enthroned amid the branches bare
The blackbird shrils his noisy reveille;
Faint odors float upon the signing air;
Soft-clinging grasses clasp the barren lea;
Gently the robin croohs, 1.-THE world is fair!'
Oh shy, sweet love, come bravely forth to me.
Thrilled by the warm kiss OF the wooing sun,
The bu 1ding NAPLES flush with maiden shame;
Along the meads where singing streamets run
With heavens own light the willows stand
afiame;
Oh sweetheart Spring, no more thy lover shun;
Give me the hope earth's lowlest may claim,
And happy birds sing low of rapture won
While TO the listening earth l breathe thy ma
ture.

Railroad Racket.

The Chicago, Burlington & Northern

loggerheads in Dubuque. The construc'

been leased from the Illinois Central,
failed to get to work yesterday morning,
and gang of two hunered men who were
at work upon il waited until 8 o'clock,
when woId was received from President
Clark of the Central, that the agreement
to allow the Chicago, Burlington ~
Northern to use the Central's tracks,
train and East Dubuque, was off. The
officers Of the Chicago. Burlington 4
Northern were greatly surprised. The
agreement was made some time ago, and
everything was thought to be amicably
settled. A message from President Clark
stated that the Chicago, Burlington 4
Northern had not lived up to its agrees
ment, but the officials of the latter road
declare it is the purpose of the Central
management to endeavor to beat the
Northern out of an entrance to Dubuque
to connect with the Dubuque & North
western The construction train has been
used for several weeks in filing along the
line south of East Dubuque, where the
Burlington road runs parallel with the
Central for fifteen miles. The matter
will be taken to the courts for settlement
and some lively litigation is looked for.

poison was fifteen days incubating. After
the incubation of the first rabbit and its
death portion of its spinal marrow was
inocuiated into second rabbits and so on
for sixty rabbits successfully. The virus
increased in strength, until seven DAYS

Fun AT THE RINK.
An Exciting Triple Race. Bromley
Meets With Numerous Accidents.
Gamble Wins.

The skating rink was packed to over,
flowing last evening to witness the trip
pie race between the three champions,
Gamble, of Davenport, Bromley, of Des
Moines, and Watt, of Moline At the
start Watt led Gamble, but the latter soon
gained and passed his contestant. The
contest, however, for several laps was
close and exciting. When Bromley en-
tered the race he made a splendid start
but in making turn too abruptly he
stumbled and fell. Regaining himself,
however, he made vigorous effort to
make up for the time lost by the fall,
when one of his skates gave way. This
necessitated his retiring from the track
temporarily, but he soon appeared with
another pair Of skates. He had fairly
made a start when one of these broke let
ting him down quite unfeelingly upon
the hard floor. These accidents, how
ever, were not sufficient to discourage
him, and securing another pair of skates
he finished the race, making the Daven>
port flyer hustle" for first place at the
end. The time was 1854. The race
was one of the best and most interesting
attractions ever gwen at the rink and the
audience manifested its appreciation Of
the race by heartily applauding it
throughout.
1t was five mile race, the conditions
being that Watt and Bromley skate two
and one half miles each, while Gamble
was skating the entire distance
