A Kiss in the Dark.

Ho,~ ce Vernet, the artist, was going
from versailles to Paris by railway. In
the same compartment with him were
two ladies whom he had never seen be-
fore, out who were evidently acquainted
with him. They examined him infinitely
and commented freely on his martial
bearing, his hale old age, the style of his
dress, etc. They continued their annoy
anee until finally the painter determined
to put an end to the persecution. AS
the train passed through the tunnel Of
st. Cloud the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet
raised the back Of his hand and kissed it
twice violently. On emerging from the
obscurity he found that the ladies had
withdrawn their attention from him and
We're accusing each other of having been
kissed by man in the dark.
Presently they arrived at Paris, and
Vernet, on leaving them, said: Ladies',
shall be puzzled all my life by the in
curry, which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me"-Paris Letter.

IL. MIDNIGHT, DEC. 81.

Once more the sea of Time rolls up toward the
shore,
And in a mighty surging billow breaks.
Thu wave is gone like all the others gone before
Some sands are gone-the spoil that each wave
takes.
Forever, as the ocean wars upon the land.
Time crumbles down the limits man has set,
Nor rocky shore, nor level lines OF yielding sand
May hold their place; there is no barrier yet.
Alike, the ruthless torrent crunblcs all away,
The pleasant gardens of our youth are Goae;
The land where life was idle, where our toll was
play
Where every pebble like jewel shone.
Gone, too, are all the fields where manhood's toll
Made fertile plenty gladden. arid ground;
Where life enriched with labor's bounteous spoil,
Its full fruition and enlargement found.
The sea wall. builded up with fond, delusve hope.
To bar the progress of the mighty sea,
Proved ell too weak with this dread enemy to
cope
titles in fragments on the barren lea.
Now beating at the feet of those few sterile rocks
Where old age clings to some possession still.
Gelentless years are rolling up with rhythmic
shocks,
To shatter cen the hopes life could not kill
So all goes down beneath the rolling tide of years;
The pillows swallow up life's narrow shore.
So shG it be, and still shall fall mans idle tears
Until the day when Time shall be no more

to war to the knife between the Diamond
10 and Saints lines in the competition
for business. 1t WAS said some time ago
that an arrangement similar to that IN
operation last season would be entered
into and the two lines work the traffic in

or transact any business for them what
ever. At some Of the small and unim-
portant landings one man has been act

been ordered to resign the Diamond 10
agency and attend strictly to Saints line
business. Altogether the situation is
decidedly promising for interesting de-
velopments.

A Sensational Report COncerning
Mr.. Frederick Weyerhauser's Or
ders..-ProbabIy Greatly ExaRger-
ated.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean Of yesterday
lad this disps gch, which has caused q
great deal of an kiety among mill owners
all along the river:
Important action has been taken by
Frederick We've rhauser. the lumber king,
in ordering the discontinuance of opera
tions at Beef Slough. the bayou at the
mouth Of the Chippewa river, whence five
or six hundred million OF Chippewa river
logs have been annually RATED to supply
the saw mills of the Mississippi river
towns. For many years the slough, with
the expenditure of many thousands of
dollars, was made a safe receptacle for
the handling of these logs. but of late the
mouth of the slough has been filling up,
and the escape of logs, which hsvs been
swept past the mouth, has entsiled heavy
losses on the Weyerhauser companies. A
last effort was recently made to put in
additional improvements, but they were
found TO constitute sn illegal obstruction
and were ordered out. The abandon.
ment of Beef ough must result in the
manufacture at Eau Claire Of large pro-
portion of the annual amount Of lumber
hitherto sawed on the Mississippi. 1t
can not be learned what arrangements
have been made to supply the Mississippi
river mills in the future.
Mr.. Weyerhauser is out of the city, and
Mr.. Reimers was communicated with
upon the Interpretation of the above re-
port this morning and said. while 1t Is a
fact that the inlet to Beef Slough from
the Chippewa river has been gradually
choking up. and that when it was sought
to improve it litigation was threatened by
Knapp, Stout & Co. on the ground that
such improvements would be virtual
impeachment to the navigation Of the
Chippewa and between the Beef Slough
inlet and the Mississippi, Mr.. Weyer-
hauser may have expressed determins,
ton to abandon It whenever the outlet
choked up rather than enter into any
legal controversy in order to gain abso>
lutte control of its use.
The anxiety OF mills down the river
getting their supply from the Mississippi
Logging Company of which Mr.. Weyer,
hauser is the head. need be dispelled as
Beef Slough is still all right in seasons of
a good stage of water and will be for
many years to come, and furthermore the
Logging company is not wholly depen-
dant upon Beef Slough, anyway.
