qIIerOr in the Hall of Mirrors, the
place was not the hckiest that Pre-
sident Carrot could have chosen for
n speech on the success of the Revo :
luton.
A telegram from Vienna of May 9th
announces that the Gear intends to
have himself crowned as King of PO-
land, and that the laws, or rather, ad-
mlnistratiYe ukaSes, now pressing SO
heavily on The landlords in Poland
and the Baltic Provinces, are shortly
to be relaxed. We have e~ndeavour-
ed elsewhere to Indicate the import
ancp of thus statement, if it is correct,
but my add here that, as regards
Poland, il is far from improbable.
Alexander III. has a piety of his own
and is just The MAJ tn believe til at
coronation according to The Id
forms legitimi~ed his power, and CON
ferred on it something of divin g
sanction. The statesmen of Russia
feel, too, very keenIy the compare
tive success of the Hapsburgs in con-
ciIiating Galicia, and are not sorry
to give the rival dynasty a gentle
hint that the true "Poland," what
ever it's boundaries, is an appanage
of their master. they may find,
however, should the war go against
them, that the nationality of Poland
is still a dangerous fact, tempting
their adversnries greatly to interpose
a Boundary Kingdom between The
German and the SIav. The Haps-
burgs wouIG like half the Balkan
Peninsula quite as we'll rs GaIicia.
A Committee Of the United States
Senate has been taking evidence as to
the competition of Canadian railroads
with railroads within the Union.
That competition must, as regards in
~teroceanIc traffic, gradually become
sharp, and many witnesses intimate
their opinion that the time has arrived
for commercial fusion, which means
annexation. Mr.. Chauncey Depew,
in particular, testified his belief that,
in American opinion, Canada was
a ripening plum" which would soon
drop into the hat of the United
States. and also that, in the opinion
of the people, if there were a war,
it would be settled in a couple Of
days campaigning. II that is an
accurate reflection of popular notions,
it is a curious evidence of the remark
emphasized by a zee traveller,
that the population of the United
States, having wandered West, have
ceased to entertain the feelings of u
maritime people. The power OF u
feet is left out in that calculation as
completely rs the effect upon future
politics of the vote Of a section Of the
country needlesSly Inundated by a
war of conquest, American states
men, we fancy, differ a good deal
from Dir. Chauncey Depew.

John p. Jones, Senator from Nevada,
was born 10 Hsrefordsbire, England, in
1880, but may be regarded AZ a thor
ough American, as he WAS only Ole year
old when his pa e ats came t. this coun-
try, settling in the northern part of
Ohio, where he attended public school
in Cleveland for few years. Tue boy
was Of adventurous spirit, aud though
only nineteen years old, he started in
1S40 to try his fortune in California,
where the gold fever was then ut its
upon him; he then became interested
in pol. and was elected Sheriff of
Tuolumne county, and was afterwards
returned several times to the Upper and
l. wer Houses of the Stale Legislature.
In 1867 he was candidate for the
Lientenant-GOvernorship, but WAS de-
leave California and to remove to Neva-
da. This was the turning poiEt Of his
life; he became interested in several

the Crown Point and Belcher mines.
After hard work, and with the assistance
Of some friends lie became The owner of

Suddenly she leaped to her feet and
held her breath, while she put her hand
to her heartan terror blanclled her face.
Her rosy cheeks, which Franz loved to
kiss, and which were envied by all the
young women Of Martigny, became white
and cold as snow.
A report louder than a simultaneous
discharge Of many cannon had burst
upon her ears. 1t came from the direc-
ton OF the gorge and terrified every per-
son in the valley. Women ran out of
the houses asking the cause, The young
women paused in the paan of thanks
giving, the youths halted with the old
men. All queried: "What was that?"
The men leaped to their feet from the
easy positions in which they had been
lying, and wrung their hands in agony.
Some in grim irony threw their axes
into the flood. The channel had weak
ened the great ice dam and it could not
stand the heavy weight of the water be-
hind it, and with a deafening noise it
gave way. The damned up waters
leaped into the bed of the river, and
swept upon the valley. The men stood
helplessly watching it.
Ilka from her post on the rock saw it
coming and her clear voice rang out
like a bugle:
"Runl run to the mountainsi The
flood is upon your
And many, needing, ran; but some
stopped to save valuables, and the youths
would not desert the feeble. These were
drowned in Martigny; they who delayed
for gold, the helpless, and they who
stayed by their side to assist them out Of
the reach of the waters, and many chill
dren who were playing in the streets
where their mothers could not find them.
Ilka on the high rock saw the devasta-
ton and death wrought by the food that
passed quickly in its wild rush. But
many were saved, and when the men,
scrambling along the mountain sides,
came looking for their wives and chill
dren, they learned that Ilka had warned
the villagers. Those who found some of
their family blessed her, but those who
came back to learn that all whom they
held dear were dead, CRASHED their teeth
and clinched their hands until the nails
of their fingers drew blood.
But Ilka sat still. She knew Franz
was looking for her on the mountain,
for she had been told he was not injured
by the flood; and the impulse to yodel
was strong within her. None had a
voice like hers, and if it should ring out
on the silence of the valley, where there
was only dumb, despairing grief, he
would hear and answer. But she could
not; it would be such a mockery to be
joyous amid all that woe. Soshe waited,
and presently she heard Franz yodeling
on the mountain, and SHE climbed to
him, but did not answer She was feet
and strong, and soon crossed his path,
and in the solitude of the mountain they
met and kissed; but they were silent, for
both felt the presence of death in the
valley below. After a few moments of
grateful Joy that they had been spared
to each other, they went swiftly to the
valley, to minister to the sorrow stricken.

Jersey City Athletic Clubs Teams Have
Another Contest.
Another of the series of games in the
club tournament of the Jersey City Ath-
letic Club were bowled last night. The
averages were up to the standard and
many difficult shots were made. The
alleys, balls and pins are of the regula-
ton mould and this accounts for what
appears to be low scores on these alleys
compared with the figures made on
other alleys.
Team No. 5 had two engagements.
They quit ever as they won one and lost
one. They rolled an even game and the
totals of both games were almost the
same. They won the second game by
phenomenal bowling in the last frame,
when they piled up an even hundred.
Team No. 1 only reached fifty and were
just beaten by fifty. They were even at
the end of the ninth frame.
In the first game with Team No. Ait was
ever until the third frame, when No. 4
jumped into the lead and steadily i'm
proved their advantage to the close.
