A DOUBLE TRAGEDY,
A. Libertine Kills an Incensed Husband
and is Himself Killed.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, March 2O.-At'
Habershall. several days ago. w. C.
Ballard made criminal assault upon
Mrs. Martin Conroy, who was alone
in her home. When Conroy learned of
the outrage he organized a party of
his friends to pursue Ballard. He
found that the latter was in the house
of w. P. Dillashaw. The men, hiding
around in the darkness, were to come
to Conroy's assistance, if needed,
while the latter said he would enter
and wreak vengeance if he found his
victim. No sooner had Conroy crossed
the threshold than Ballard knocked
him down with the butt of an old
army musket and, firing a load of
small shot into the unconscious body,
jumped out of the back window and
escaped under several volleys from
Conroy's friends. There is no doubt
that Ballard will be lynched if caught.

A day of wondrous summer grace, where
green boughs meet and interlace,
A sky of perfect summer blue, the gracious
sunshine sitting through;
And all above and all around, uprising from
the teeming ground,
Pulsing upon the happy breeze, on billowy
crests of wide, white seas;
Pouring from out the robins throat, from
heecy cloud and hill remote,
On shadows cool and soft and feet, on waves
of trembling, quivering heat;
From over fields of clOver-blooms, from out
the dim woods fragrant glooms,
Such miracles of color glow, such spicy,
subtle odors flow;
Such sounds-dne, deep, tunultuous; so
Nature fills her cup for US,
And we, through every quickened sense,
drink it with grateful reverence
Oh, happy draught, unmixed with bane-this
have we done, Auf Wiedersehn.
Oh, smiling skies Oh, shadows feeti Oh, day of
days so bitter-sweetl
Oh, hungry hearts unsatishedi Oh, thirsting
hearts your rights deniedl
Oh, kndling eye and glowing cheek! Oh, long
ing lips forbade TO speak!
Oh, silence mightier far than speech! Oh, souls
that signal each to eachI
Oh, sorrow sweet! Oh, joy that stands, bereft

Oh, love, pierced through and through with

But Obi till then, or soon or late, faith holds

Bethink you, dear, how will it be, when that

How eIiled joy viii come with hands ready

How care and doubt will fee away and peace
abide with us that day;
How love, the deathless, starry-eyed, viii
clasp and keep us undenied;
How life will turn upon its track and youth
the blessed win come back.
Whether the royal June shall hold the world
In beauties manifold
Or Winters icy hand be put upon the mute

Still all our pulses, o my SWEET will thrill

And in the rapture 50 supreme, the past viii
