A Gem.


The following little poetical gem
was written by Mrs. Lizzie Hadley,
and is inscribed to a delegate to the
recent meeting Of the Grand Lodge,
order of Eastern Star. 1t is Mrs.
Hadley's first attempt in this direc-
ton:
God bless you and goodby she said,
Clasping my hand at parting,
And as left her sitting there
1 felt the teardrop starting.
These words sank deep into my heart
Renewing every power,
AS heaven sent dews revive
The faint and thirsty flower.
A woman /, with human needs
Guessed by this gracious woman,
Her sweet voiced blessing, near and
far
My pathway shall illumine.
Would there were more such hearts
as hers,
So GOdlike, although human,
For rarest of all earthly love
Is wOman's love for woman.

A Mexican Train Mutiny.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. IA dispatch
from the City of Mexico says: A Sc
rious mutiny occurred among the
train escort on the up train from
Vera Cruz, Tuesday evening. A cor
poral and four privates attacked their
superior officers, severely wounding a
lieutenant and killing a sergeant out
right. The object of the mutineers
seems to have been to stop the train
and desert. They first attacked the
sergeant and in the scuff1e which fol-
lowed, that officer was run
through by bayonet, which
pierced his left lung and stood out
several inches behind his back. The
lieutenant who was on the platform,
hearing the disturbance, entered the
car and, seeing the dead body of his
sergeant, drew his sword and began
to lay about him, wOunding one or
two of the soldiers. On the fall of the
sergeant, the other soldiers joined the
mutineers and by one of these the
lieutenant was shot, the bullet Ell ter
ing near the shoulder. He then
caught hold of his sword with the left
hand, continued to defend himself,
but was at last overpowered and
thrown to the floor. The rIngleaders
of the mutineers then after
attempted to reach the engine by
climbing over the tender, but failed,
they were beaten back by the Amer
lean engineer, jumped from the train,
but so unskilfully, that one was run
over and cut in two and the other
four were more or less injured. They
succeeded, however, in getting up and
making off,
