They will eat the weeds and grass, bI
they won touch the cotton
'But how do they get the water out
of those gourds under their necksf
"'They drink out of each Others

A playgrouud-oft with clouded skies,

Where little troubles take the weight
or sorrows far more deep;
Where loved toys break in tiny hands
Sad symbols Of the time
When hope shall cheat and Joys depart
In life's swift passing prime.

And unseen hosts contend,
With truces all 80 short, they seem
With the wild strife to blend:
strife that leaves none Of us unscathed,
Where'er the mastery be;
But who. till the Great Day, can tell
With whom is victory

Pale monuments ar,se
To show how brief is human life,
How vain is all we prize.
A graveyard filled by memory,
Where phantoms lightly tread,
But each one points with finger raised

Although the American clipper ships
are growing less in numbers their repu-
tat.on as the fastest sailers on the globe
is by no means declining. The famous
clipper ship Henry Hyde, now at anchor
of Sandy hook, ha, really made the
voyage from san Francisco, distance
Of at least eleven thousand miles, in
ciehty-ninc days. Fine weather was
met with most Of the passage. 1t took
but eighteen days to run from san Fran
cisco 70 the equator, thirty-throe days
from there to Cape Horn, and thirty
eight lys from the Falkland Islands TO
Sandy Hook. The Hyde was built in
1854, at Bath Me, and halls from New

"A second Time.
LONDON, July l6.--A .Papal encyclieal
letter was read yesterday 10 all the Catho-
tic churches In ths diocese OF Dublin. Ia it
she Pope says be has heard with regret
shat excited meetings have been held at
which iuc11siderats and dangerous
opinions regarding the recent Papal decree
have been uttered even the authority OF
the decree itself bsing unspaired. He has
seen with pain forced interpretations tut
on the decree and statements made that it
was prepared without sufii ,ient inquiry
having previou8ly been made.
His Holiness Fsiterates his affection for
the Irish people and says be has always
urged them TO keep within the bounds OF
Justice and right. he refers TO a communi-
cation to Cerdi0al McCabe in 1881. adding
"As the people were led on with gradu-
ally increasing vehemsncs il the pursuit Of
thsir desires, and as there we're not want-
ing those who daily famed the flame, the
decree became a necessity p
The Pope, strongly denying this assump-
zion, states that the decree was based upon
abe most complste information; that pre-
vious 10 its issuance be held interviews
with Irish biehops on the subject and sent
tried and trusted legats to Irelend to in
.auire into and report on the true condition
Of affairs.
The bishops, he says, must remove all
misconception and leave no room fol
doubt as to the force OF the decree. Th,
