IN MEMORIAM.

On the evening Of October 1st, 1889,
Deaths Angel entered happy home aud
took from its midst the pet of the family
circle, little Alice, child of Major and
Mrs. II. Y. Mccain, born Feb. Ia, 1889.
How sad were our hearts as we stood
by the grave and saw her laid to rest
Beneath the Daises." How dark the
home from whose portals those snowy
hands, gently folded, and those feet for
ever still, have been borne to silence and
TO peace. All! Who can know but those
to whom the grave has left nothing but
the memory of their beauty and their
sweetness? We sit and wonder why she
could not have been spared to us, at least
little longer. God knows best, and He
often sees fit to take the brightest and
best of our earthly treasures to himself.
Although she remained with us only
seven short months, she fulfilled the mis-
sion to which God appointed her. The
violet that withered in the April time,
left upon sight and sense the imprint Of
its beauty aud sweetness, as surely as the
rose that bloomed till the autumn days
had come We sadly miss her. Many
tears have been shed and hearts wrung
because she is not here; but we know
that she is in a fairer world than ours,
and sweeter flowers than grew IN earth s
gardens, the angels have wreathed around
her brow.
my Lord hath need of these flow refs gay,
The Reaper said and smiled
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where he was once n child;
They shall ell bloom in fields of light
Transplanted by my care. Al

Opinions About the Charleston.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Chief Engineer
Melville is of the opinion that the cruiser
Charleston will succeed in making the nee
essary 7OOO-horse power in another trial. 1t
appears that the trouble lies with the port
engine. located in the cross head guide,
which has been the only faulty spot shown
in the trip down from San Francisco When
the fault was developed, recourse was had
Z 10 the device of placing a thin wedge OF
metal between the troublesome points, and
this eXpedient was probably moi sufficient
TO meet the case. The trouble is not serious
and can be remediel aboard ship, if indeed
il has not already been done. The fact that
the boilers made steam so rapidly that they
were blowing off during the trial is re
garded by engineers as promising realiza-
ton of the horse power requirement When
the defect in the port engine is corrected
and the steam can all be used, increased
speed is looked for upon the next trial trip,
because the coal is being used up rapidly
and the vessel is being lightened.
