PSYCHE IND PAN. :
Lewis u. Gates.

What thought Of Love, o Psyche, fills thy
soul?
What Maynard fancy TREMENDOUSLY doth
hide
About thy heart, that scarce thy lips can
hide
A tender smile? Rccallest how Love stole
Upon thee unaware, while still the dole
of his first absence held thee dewy eyed
And how his words thy doubling heart did
chide,
And how his kiss thy wounded heart made
whole2
All subtle is the power Of piping reed
Touched deity by Pans ilngersl Wei
for thee
If tranquil memories alone he raise,
And doth not fright thee with rude pro
phccy
| OF Venus pitiless, Of Woo decreed,
And ali thy wandering through thorn,
ways.

Less than half an hour later
they met again at the Twenty-sevOnth

O'BriCn accusing Truman of trying to black
mail one Of his friends, and Truman making
an abusive reply. O'Brien then struck the
other in the face with his fist and over the
head with his silver mounted cane. Tho
last blow felled Truman, who is !arge,
powerful man, to the sidewalk.
When the latter rose he drew
II long dagger, and slashed O'Brien

abdomen. He attempted to make anothercu cut
on the body but Ol}rirn seized and held the
knife with both hands, which were badly
gashed across the palms and fingers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 40. W.
Potter, president of the South Chicago
rolling mills, has written u letter TO n
PittsbrTg iron worker relative to the
wages question. lie has taken an en-
tirely different view Of the question from
Pittsburg manufacturers, and says that
he can see no good reason why the wages
of the iron workers should be reduced.
Mr.. Potter admits the deplorable state of
trade and is willing to confess
that there is no money at
present III the iron business, but he does
not place the blame upon the workmen's
shoulders Ruinous competition and the
cutting of prices below the cost of pro.
duction by the manufacturers themselves
he assigns MS one of the reasons of the
present low prices. Mr.. Potter takes the
same view of the question as the work
men who claim TINT reduction in their
wages would be of no avail. The low
price of iron they say is the result OF
composition carried to nm extreme.

RUSSIA AND

Vienna. Jan. l.
Some sensation has been caused in po-
litical circles by the publication i'll all in
spired PrusSian periodical OF an article on
existing relations between Russia and
Germany, of which the subjoined is an
abstract
Germany continues to erect forts on our
frontiers which are destined as we'll for
offensive rs defensive purposes. German
subjects in receipt of Government pay are
beginni ng 10 settle in the border district.
They belong to the Landwehr, and will
serve in the vanguard in case OF a Ger
man invasion. A vast network of strate-
gle railways has been constructed in view
of war with Russia. Under the influence
of Germany. Austria has likewise built
large fortresses oil her frontiers, and
il laying down strategic railroads. Even
Roumania, threatened BY Prince Won Bis
marck, has pledged herself to even tual CO.
operation against us. AT Constantinople
Germany is omnipoteut. Tho German
Ambassador yields a predominant
influence in the councils of the Porte;
there is a large number Of Germans in the
Turkish army and financial adminiStra-
tinn. Germany has opened a legation at
Teheran. and will thus, Ill case OF need, ex-
ercise powerful influence in Persia. FL
naliy, China has been supplied with Euro
pean ships, ana ornaments by German
contractors, while the Chinese troops are
instructed by German officers. On the
advice of Germany the vacant territory on
the Chinese frontier has been peOpled by
Chinese, and forts have bsen erected with
in 200. miles of the Russian frontier. Ii
W. glance at the map from the mouths of
the Nieman to those of the AmOOr, ami
from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean,
with the exception of Afghanistan we can
not put our finger on a single point where
the hand of Germany is not to be detected,
and where We are not shut in by al iron
ring which may either reduce us to
submission, or at a signal from Berlin, be
brought to cripple any part of the body of
the Empire.

scans the situation and notes any change
in the enemy's position. He afterwards
goes to sleep till near sunset, when he
rises and walks about all night, visiting
post after post to cheer his troops, and to
see that all are alert and ready to repel
attacks.
Gordon, the messenger says, looks well,
and his men are in good spirits now that
they know Of Lord Wolseley's advance
with English troops. Gordon still ap-
pears to have a supply of tobacco, as he
smokes cigarettes, one of which he offered
to the messenger. I have myself seen
Gordon's note. It is about as large as a
penny postage stamp. The man had it
rolled up to the size of a pin, and it was
sew into the seam of the wrist of his
garment.
Cairo, Jan. 1.
Within the last two hours a telegram
from Lord Wolseley has reached Sir
Evelyn Barring announcing that his lord
ship had just received a letter from Gene
raj Gordon, consisting of small scrap of
paper, "Khartoum ; all we'll Dec. L."
and signed " Gordon y and having OH the
other side of the paper an Arabic seal.
Lord Wolseley is convinced of the
authenticity Of this letter.

From the Spectator of goth December.
Lord Wolseley on December 10Th
telegraphed to the War Office to n
nounce his arrival at Korti, a point
beyond Ambukol, where he must de-
eide whether he will push across the
desert to Shendy, a sixteen days
march, or still proceed by the longer
route by the river. He reports all
well, the boats having fulfilled his
expectations, and the men being in
good-heart and the stronger for their
"constant manual labour." He has
still to wait mt least a fortnight before
the major portion of his force n
reach Korti. Lord Wolseiey sends
home little news and exercises a strict
censorship over the correspondents
believing that Intelligence of his
movements is constantly conveyed
to the Mahdi by the Frenchi in Egypt.
They have a countryman in the Nah
dis camp, and not only send him in
telligence. but spread about the false
news which he thinks likely to fur
Their the Mahdi's interest. AS a rule,
this news takes the form of assertions
that the Mahdi is being deserted,
though, as we all know, he has kept
up his investment Of khartoum for
