DISTANCE.

On softening days, when storm was near,
AZ the farmhouse door / have stood in
the gray,
And caught IN the distance, faint but clear,
The sound Of train passing far away.
The warning bell when the start was made,
The engines pulling Of smoke unseen,
With the heavy rumble as the wheels
Obeyed-
Across the miles between.
And so sometimes on moonless night,
When the stars shine soft and the wind Is
low,
To my listening soul, In the pallid light,
Come the trembling voices Of long ago.
The tuneful echoes when hope was young,
The tender song Of love serene,
And tie throbbing rhymthm of PASSIONS

Across the gears between.

Col. VIM. G. Moore on the Effective
ness of the Militia.
The Washington correspondent of the
Omaha Bee quotes Colonel w. G. Moore of
the Light Infantry Corps as telling him
recently: 81 paid brief visit to the meet
ing of the National Guards, and had talk
about the scope of their work. The adiu-
tant-general Of the National Guard-which
Is nothing more nor less than the aggregated
militia of the several States-informed me
that he had full general command Of the
whole organization, and conducted all the
clerical work himself. In my mind then
contrasted the work an individual performed
with that the Government employee does.
Adiutant-General Drum requires large
force of men to perform about the same
duties this one man does, and | have no
doubt this officer looks more into details
and takes more trouble to see TO them than
however, is from patriotism and interest
that of the other is from money.
"ls the organization of the National
Guards anything like as good as that Of the
Regular ArmySh inquired.
Eyes, replied Colonel Moore, "the gen
eral organization is very fine; however, the
details and ornamental business are left of
in large measure, while In the Regular
Army they are kept up as much to kill
time as anything else.n

"For active service would prefer State
militiamen, such as they have in Pennsyl.
vania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and some
other States. The militiamen fight from
pure motives and an interest IN what they

Comments ON the Attractions Of the
Week.
A large audience witnessed "M'liss' at
the National Theatre last night, with Miss
Annie Pixley In the title role. "M'lissn Is
a story Of the Sieras, with profusion Of
bowie knives and pistols Miss Pixley is a
very handsome little actress, of consider
able versatility, although "M'liss" hardly
affords sufficient opportunities to display IT,
Her rendition Of the hoydcnish girl of the
camp was natural and unaffected. The
songs which she sang were loudly applaud
ed and encored, although to critical OBJ
server 1t seemed strange that airs from the
"Mikadoh should be rendered In the wlds
OF the Sierras. She is supported by an OK
celent company, who make the most of
their respective parts. "AIlissn VIII be re-
peated tonight and at the Saturday after
noon performance. The rest OF the week
will be devoted to "Iara,m In which Miss
Pixley is especially good.
Kate Claxton drew large audience TO
Albaugh's Opera-llouse last night 10 wit
ness her dramatized version OF "Callcd
Back" The play is strong one, with
many striking situations. Miss Claxton's
impersonation has many strong points.
Her conception of the character Is consist
ent and her execution was excellent, par
ticularly in the mad scene. Mr.. Stevenson
is a capable actor, and made a decidedly
favorable impression as Gilbert VdughIi.
The remainder OF the cast was excellent,
aud the piece was admirably set. SCALED

Herzogs Opera-Housc was crowded last
night. The "Chimes of Normandy being

At Deggendorf, where the Danube
flows through a rich and beautiful val
ley, there is a church upon whose walls
a series of twenty-four paintings repre-
sent some remarkable events said to
have occurred there. In the year 1887,
the story goes, the Jews stole the sacred
wafer Cor host from the church. They
scratched it with thorns until it bled,
and the visage of child appeared;
they baked it in an oven; they ham
mered it on an anvil, of which the
block is still shown; they tried to thrust
it down their throats, but were pre-
vented by the hands and feet of the
child. Then, despairing of being able
to destroy it, they flung it into a well,
which was Immediately surrounded by
a radiant glory. The result of this
story was that the Deggendorfers, who
owed large sums of money to the Jews,
rose and massacred their creditors in
stead of paying their debts. The
priests applauded these doings, and
ever after Eshowed the indestructible
wafer.
