THE KISS IN THE TUNNEL.

They were sitting five seats back, but plainly
heard the smack,
AS we dashed Into the tunnel near the town,
And the currents of my veins ran like April rush.

Though I'm grave and gray and wear doctors
gown.
Once-alas SO long ago-on the rails Jour-
With maiden in jaunty jersey sacque,
And kissed her with my eyes, as the timld stars
But I Ionged, oh how I longed for one real
smack
Did she know it p dare say tshe'd sweet
clairvoyant way,
Meier a bee such honey sips as the nectar on her
But ionged and longed in vain, as on we
flew.
lust as warming reached its height, 10 there
came sudden light,
And like steel to magnet Glove my mouth to
hers
I shall never more forget now ike drops OF rain
In the bosom of a rose that lightly stirs
When we came again to light both our faces had
turned white
White as clouds that float in summer from
the south.
Missed glances, missed l smiles but on air
rode ior miles
With the sweetness of loves dew upon my
mouth
So the kiss that someone stole, in that rayless,
Stygian hole,
While with loud imprisoned ciangor on we
rushed,
Caused the sluggish streams of age with young
madness leap and rage
And my wife, restored to da Wight. laughed

Arguments were concluded yester-
day in the matter of the application for
a Communication of sentence from death
to imprisonment for life. P. w. Faunt-
leroy occupied the governors attention
from O'Clock till noon, and from 2
o'clock till 4 o'clock. He made a good
speech in behalf of his client, which
was listened TO with profound
attention. He handled the case
with great skill, and, although he
spoke five hours, but few words were
wasted. He reviewed the case from be-
Ginning to end and left no weak point
in the prosecution unassailed. The
governors office was crowded all day.
Mrs. Brooks and daughter were pres
ent and eagerly listened to the elo.
quence of Fauntleroy. Several ladies
from the city occupied chairs. in the
office.
Maxwell has confidently expected
that the Governor would commute his
sentence to imprisonment for life, and
the news that the executive had given
him only four weeks longer TO live was
evidently a bitter disappointment to
him, although he frightened up
under the news of the res
pite. The prisoner still in
sists that something will ''turn up' tha3
will insure his escaping death by the
gallows. Maxwell was pale to-day and
appeared to have lost some OF his
bravado. He did not attempt to eat his
breakfast at all, and INQUIRED anxiously
for news from Jefferson City. He spent
the greater part of the day playing
dominoes with one of the death
watches. Maxwell is an expert at dom
inoes and checkers, and has beaten al
most every one in the jail. He did not
evince his accustomed interest in the
game to-day.

Sacramento Bee New Mexico Letter.
There are some odd characters here
abouts. Over in South Canon, which is
entirely inaccessible except through the
upper end or head of this canyon, lives
Charles Gay. He has been prospecting
there for seven years. What he has
found no one knows, for the man who
would attempt to explore one of his
shafts or tunnels would as certainly be
shot as seen by Gay. He imagines that
all the world has formed league to
steal his claims from him. In Six-mile
Gulch, not another soul IN the gulch, is
another hermit-Judge Silliman. At
one time he was president of
6. national bank in the States. 1t
is supposed that friends there send
him money to buy provisions. What
he mas found in the way OF metal no one
knows-not even himself. II. W. Zeig-
Ter completes the trio. He is at the
head Of the canyon and has been there
for eleven years. Unaided he has
drilled tunnel 400 feet through solid
rock. Not an ounce Of mineral in sight
and never has been. How's that for
faith and perseverance He says that
he will strike five assure veins before he
gets through the mountain. Long be-
fore he gets his hole through the noun
tain the mountain will furnish him a
hole for an eternal abiding place.
