o, how withered end dead
The face Of the bare earth lies,
Under the leafless trees
Aud the frown Of the dropping skies!
O. how silent aud sad
She sleeps in her gloomy rest.
With never the song OF . bird
Aud never a flower on her breast,
And yet from the gloom and the silence
The far-of SPRING shall arise.
Nay! in the hidden life
OF the pretty things sleeping below,
Waiting the moment of waking,
Ready 10 bourgen and grow,
Who shall say but the touch
Of this cool. dark quiet to-day.
IL full Of as saving grace
As the strong, warm kisses Of May:
Aud which IL the dearest and kindest,
No soul upon earth may know!

An anarchist circular of the style made
familiar by Parsons and Spies was last
week we'll distributed through the saloons
Of the west and northwest sections of CHI
cago. After asking subscriptions to de-
fend the supposed dynamiters, Hronek,
Chelboun and SEWN, whose trial COM
menced Monday, the circular says: ssNot-

w~orkingmen of Chicago cannot tell now
adays what will happen. Any day they
are liable to be taken away from their
breakfast tables, torn from the families
and locked up in Jail on account of some
trivial complaint Of capital" The paper
goes on to saythat capital must be crushed,
and claims that the only way to do is for
the w%orkiDgmen to organize and fight for
thsir rights. The circular is printed in
German and Bohemian and signed by

A wonderful lana Slide.

The largest land slide ever known in
West Virginia occurred q few days since
on the side Of Cumberland mountain
whore q scope Of land containing not less
than twenty-five or thirty acres, slipped
from the side Of the mountain, carrying
its forest Of pine, chestnut, oak and other
immense trees along with it into a narrow
valley below. The slip shot across the
valley completely damming it from the
mountain side to q parallel ridge 400 yards
distant. The small creek which ran down
the valley was damned up, and formed a
small lake from ten to twenty-five feet
desp, and, perhaps, Q half mile in length.
Tho forest trees still stand on the slide,
but at an angle Of forty-ive or fifty de.
gress. The mountain side is bare. with
the rocks standing exposed in o line four
hundred yards wide and half q mile long.
Altogether it was a very peculir freak Of
nature.

Judge Samuel Levy, a prominent aged
citizen of Augusta. Ga. was stricken with
paralysis last week, while participating in
a social game of cards. The party was
playing poker and Judge Levy was taking
hazards only on the game. His opponent
in the Jackpot when called showed four
aces. The judge was noticed to become
suddenly ill, and assistance was offered.
When medical service arrived it was found
that the Judge had been paralyzed. Sur
prise at his opponents hand is given as
the prime cause of his illness, though he
is very old, aud age makes the ailinent
more potent. He is not expectedrto live.

Great excitement was again occasioned'

other woman had been murdered and mu-
tilated in Whitechapel. The police imme-

have been committed, where it was learned,
that another murder had been attempted
upon q low woman by IL man who had -ac-.
companied her to her lodging, but in this
instance his work had been frustrated. Ac-
cording to the woman's story, the man:
had seized her and struck her once in the
throat with a knife. She struggled des-
perately and had succeeded in freeing her
self from the mans grasp and screamed,
for help. Her cr1es had alarmed the
man and he had fed without attempting
further violence. Some of the neigh,
bors who had heard the screams followed,
the murderer for about 300 yards, when he
disappeared from their sight. The woman
says she is fully able to recognize the man
aud gave o description Of himto the police.
The police are hopeful of soon capturing
him.
After investigating the facts the police
are of the opinion that the attempted MUIR
der in W~hitechapel was not the work of
the man who committed the atrocious
murders in that vicinity recently. Fur
ther investigation by the police shows that
the Whitechapel woman who reported that
she had been attacked by a man who went
to her lodgings with her suffered only
o slipt abrasion of the skin Of the throat,
and the police place no credit in the story
Of the attack. They believe she inflicted
the injury herself while drunk.

is daily becoming more violent and un-
manageable. Mrs. Garrett has gone to

husband is brought home. Her sister,
Mrs. Frinck, is with Mr.. Garrett superin-

years ago, when Gainor had Just started
on his downward career, he got into a diff

who attempted to arrest him, cutting two
