The wheel oftime with noiseless chime
Has swept away the years,
And to-day We gaze on the pale, pale face
With eyes suffused with tears.
She is sweetly resting with none molesting,
Yonder beneath the sod,
Her spirit passed in the long ago
To the mist-hidden temples of God.
Her race well run and journey done,
She crossed the mystic river,
To the golden shores of the fairer land,
To rest in peace forever.
And from my heart there never shall part
The image of my mother,
Though time may pass it cannot die,
The strength with which love her.
BY HER DAUGHTER, NJ. E. n.

Singular Catastrophe.

A despatch was received in Chicago on
Tuesday from the mayor of Beleplain, Iowa,
relating singular catastrophe. 1t appears
that an arteSian well, four inches in diameter.
burst when the depth of $50 feet had been
reached in boring, and instantly volume of
water was forced into the air to the distance
of several hundred feet. This gradually in
creased in size and volume until q stream Of
water hllls sixteen INCHES in dlameter was
formed, and the upward force of this stream
is equal to the power of powder or dynamite.
The despatch adds: The water in huge vol
umes is spouting high in the air, and the sup
ply seems inexhaustible. Two gigantic rivers
have been formed by this phenomenal water
burst, which are running through he town at
the rate of twelve miles an hour and carrying.
everything before them. Houses and lives
are threatened by this peculiar freak of nature,
and the citizens are appalled, at their impepd-
ing danger, which az present they are power
less to overcome. Finding it impossible To-
avert this damaging food an attempt was
made to insert sixteeninoh boiler Iron tubea
into the we'll, but these were instantly blown.
out and forced high into the air. Finding
this plan useless, the terrified people attempt
ed to fill up the aperture through which this
terrible geyaer vas spoating itG delqge. Fiji
teen carloads of stone were emptied into the
wen, out liese were loFpeq upWarq as InoqgR
propelled by the force of giant powder. Bags
Of sand were then hastily constructed and cast
into the well, but these too, were hurled into
the air. Up to evening no abatement in the
flow of water was perceptible, and the rushing
rivers formed by it were washing the channel
it had made deeper and wider, while the basin
formed b, this immense volume of water was
spreading over the lowlands in The vicinity.
As last resort the Mayor of BelIeplain tele,
graphed to Chicago for the best engineers that
could be secured, to attempt to put an end to
The peal, and an engineer was sent on, The
opinion is that but little, IL anything, can be
done to stop the flow of water, but that 1t may
be possible to direct the rivers into less dan
gerous directions and con6ne them to their.

Ravard and Blaine.

Mexico has released Cutting Those
who were looking out for something to
criticise thought Secretary Bayard was too
hasty and peremptory in his demand upon
our sister republic, but the result shows
that the Administration acted wisely.
Mr.. Bayard's demand was couched in cour-
teous language. There was no bullying
or threatening. Knowing his duty in the
premises, he acted promptly and positively,
and he never once had any doubts that the
Mexican government would see the error
of its agents and right the wrong Not
only has Cutting been released, but the
Mexican government, on its own motion,
has issued orders to the governors of the
several states which are intended to avoid
similar acts of injustice hereafter to citizens
of this government.
When Mr.. Blaine was Secretary of State,
he received a severe rebuke from the Mex
lean Minister for some oficious suggestions
concerning Mexicos affairs, and had he
been President he no doubt would have
knocked up senseless row with Mexico
that would have caused bitterness between
the people of the two governments that a
quarter of century would not allay.
Mr.. Blaine was one of Mr.. Bayard's
critics, and his snubbing is mentioned to
show the contrast between him and the
Secretary of State Blaine is blusterer,
an unsafe, headlong man. Mr.. Bayard is
conservative statesman, cautious in action,
and firm in maintaining the right. In his
hands the rights and honor of this people
and this government are safe. Were
Mr.. Blaine in power the government would
now be engaged in quarrel with Mexico
over the Imprisonment of Cutting and with
Canada and England over the fishery ques-
ton. There is no cause for either, and
Mr.. Bayard has settled the one and is en-
gagged in peaceful negotiations to settle the
other. Wars are costly in blood and treas
ure, and in this enlightened age, there can
be no Just cause for conflict if reason rather
than rashness be resorted to.

All observers of political movements
must see that the Prohibition party is to
become a great and powerful one, 1t
played an unimportant part IN 1894, but
those who live to see 1892 will find it in
the field for the Presidency, and it will be
powerful competitor for control of the
government. While the Republican party
is falling to pieces, the Prohibitionists
are steadily gaining, and this is particular
ly noticeable in all the heretofore solid
Republican States.

Talbott-Shaw Contest.

The Democratic primaries in Baltimore
county take place next Friday and Saturday.
Hon. j. T. C. Talbot has announced him
self candidate for Congress, although
when he was a candidate for reelection in
1880, he claimed it on the ground of party
usage to give Representative second
term at least He was not content with a
second term, and was successful candi-
date for third term. Now he is opposing
DR.. Shaw, and is going directly contrary to
the very claims he set up for his ovp re-
nomination. He has forced DIR. Shaw into
a contest with him ia his own county, and
instead of "vindication, as be claims he
is seeking, the outlook there indicates that
a majority Of the Democrats are decidedly
opposed to "vindieating" him. What vim
dication he needs, we don't know. IF he
has been faithful in executing trusts placed
IN his keeping, and been true to the prin-
ciples of his party, he needs no vindication.
If he has not, be Is not fit to be nominated
for Congress or any other office. Presi-
dent Cleveland did not choose to- appoint
him to responsible positions under the gen
eral government which he sought, but that
is matter between Mr.. Talbot and the
President 1t is not likely many Demo
Gratis ofthe Second Congressional District
cared whether the President gratifed his
ambition or not Certainly the Democrats
have no desire to cast aside worthy Be,
