A Brilliant Meteor.

Eicott City. Nd, Special to the Baltimore American
FebruaryS.
An unusual meteorological phenomenon was
witnessed at Della, Baltimore county, about 6
O'Clock yesterday evening. A luminous body,
cylindrical in shape, passed over the heavens.
seemingly not more than several hundred feet
above the earth, and, forming curve, appeared
to descend to the ground mile or SO from the
village. Its course was with the Patapsco river
in northerly direction, and during the time it
was visible, which was several seconds, the
vicinity was lighted as brilliantly as if by a
strong electric lamp. Just at the time of its
appearance number of villagers were return
ing home from work, and the uncommon sight
created considerable alarm among them.

making trouble for man.

The Two Burdens.

Over the deep sea Love came flying;
Over the salt sea Love flew signing
Alas, y Love, for thy 1ourneying wings,
Through turbid light and sound of thunder,
When one wave lifts and one falls under,
Love flew as a bird flies straight for warm
springs
Love reached the Nerthland, and found his own:
With budding roses and roses blown.
And wonderful llics, he wove their wreath.
His voice was sweet a tune that wells, .
Gathers and thunders and throbs and swells
And fails and lapses in rapturous death.
His hands divided the tangled boughs.
They sat and loved in most-green house.
With bird songs and snnbeams faltering through:
One note OF wind to each least light leaf:
U Love! those days they were sweet but brief
Sweet as the rose is. and feet as the dew.
over the salt sea death flew signing.
Love heard from afar the rush Of his WINGS
Felt the blast Of them over the sea,
And turned his face where the shadows be-
And wept for sound of disastrous things.
Death reached the Northland, and claimed his
own;
With pale, sweet flowers and wet winds blown.
ie wove for the forehead OF one O wreath
His voice was sad as the wind that signs
Through cypress trees under rainy SKIES
When the dead leaves drift on the paths be-
meath.
His hands divided the tangled boughs,
One Love he bore to dark. deem house.
Where never a bridegroom may clasp his bride
A place of silence, Of dust and sleep.
What vigil there shall the loved one keep
Or what cry of longing the lips divide!

An Alleged American Citizen Exlled to
Siberia by Russia-An Investigation.
WAsulEaToN, D. O., April 2.-The De.
partment Of State has been informed by
the United States Secretary Of Legation
at st. Petersburg that he has already re-
quested the Russian Government to in
vestigate the case Of Kempinski, said to
be naturalized American citizen; who
was exiled to Siberia by the Russian
authorities upon his return to Russia.
1t has been reported to the Department
that Kempinski was IS or 10 years Of age
when he left Russia for the United.
While the Department will investigate
the case thoroughly there is said 10 be
need for caution, for with this statement
OF the case 1t may appear that Kem-
pinsld was eligible for military service
and that his emigration 10 the United
States was nothing less than military
desertion. The need for deliberate &c.
tion in such cases is exempliiled In the
case OF Count Cypriani, about which the
press was much disturbed a year ago. II
was asserted that the Count, IN Ameri.
can citizen, bad returned to Italy only to
be seized and thrown into a dungeon.
Careful inquiry by tho Department oi
State revealed that Count Cypraini was
not American citizen; that he was not
In an Italian dungeon, and that he did
not return TO Italy, but stopped at Cor
aira nm hearing TINT ha WAS liable to mr.
rest II he did return. Last week the
Count took out his naturalization papers
and Is now an American citizen.
