MOUNTAIN PINES.

Sse on the mountain top afar,
Those lofty pinnacles that reach
So near to heaven that q star
Burns like taper bright in each.
There, changeless all the seasons through,
That green cathedral lifts its spires,
The first to catch the morning dew,
The last to hold the sunset fires.
Within its aisles no sound is heard
While summers service decks the nave;
Its altar knows no priest; no bird
Sings from the emerald architrave.
But when, wrapt In her shroud of snow,
Beneath the roof lies earth asleep,
A mournful music, measured, slow,
Wakes in the summit of yon steep.
That solemn dirge of winter brings
The hearts to ponder thoughts divine;
1t is Gods harper strikes the strings
Stretched on the forest harp of pinel
Frank Dempster Sherman.

FEARS OF FEVER.
Anxiety for the Safety of the Crew o.
the Galena.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The friends of
the officers of the United States steamer
Galena, now at Port Prince or vicini-
ty, have been very uneasy ever since the
Yantic started north with yellow fever
on board, and repeated inquiries for news
from the Galena are made at the Navy
Department. But little apprehension is
felt for her there, however, and it is ex-
pected the first information received from
her will report all well. She left New
York in perfect sanitary condition. The
very fact that she is fever ship has made
her officers unusually careful, and every
possible precaution has been taken to
prevent the dreaded disease getting
foothold on board. She is Kept scrupu-
lously clean from stem to stern. The men
are not allowed to go ashore, and are
kept out of the sun as much as possible.
Up to the time the Yantic left Port-au
Prince the Galena had not been inside the
inner harbor at all.
As soon as the Ossippee reaches Hayti
the Galena will probably leave for short
time, and Admiral Luce will telegraph
the Department from Jamaica or some
other point.

A TERRIBLE WRECK.

Results OF Collision on the New York,
Pennsylvania Ohio = Eight Persons
Killed and a Dozen or More Injured
Some OF the Victims Cremated in the
burning Cars-Sickening Scenes.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. IA frightful
wreck occurred on the New York, Penn
sylvania & Ohio railroad, near Tallmadge.
o., at haf-past two O'Clock yesterday
morning, an east-bound passenger train
collding with one section of freight train
which had broken in two. Eight persons
were killed and dozen injured. The list
is as follows:
THE KILLED.
Robert Huntington, of Gallon, O.; pas
senger engineer.
William Walters, of Gallon; passenger
fireman
J. F. Rushford, of Gallon; freight brake
man.
William Lundy, of Salamanca, N. Y;
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express messenger.
Three Cinnamon.
Mary Ann Lyon, of Idaho, aged six;
ticketed, second class, to Cherry Greek,
N. Y.
THE INJURED.
David Thomas, of Gallon, baggage mas
ter; badly injured-at first reported
killed.
Robert Owen, of Kent, newsboy; one
shoulder dislocated, and bad cuts and
bruises.
Sam Douglass, engineer, of Gallon, trav-
cling in passenger coach; leg and head
cut, and buruised and burned about the
abdomen.
James Boyd, Of Patterson, N. j., severe
ly hurt on head and back.
George Shaw, of Gallon, freight brake
man; cut and bruised.
Thomas Fairfax, colored, of Cleveland;
leg broken in two places below the knee,
and bad cuts on head.
Other passengers, whose names were
not learned, received slight injuries.
The freight train had broken in two and
the crew resoyted to the common expedi-
ent of doubling" the grade. The flag
man who had been sent to guard the rear
section misunderstood the signals and
came in before the track was clear. The
freight had barely got under motion when
the express came along. The passenger
engine was crushed into bits and Engineer
Huntington and Fireman Walters were
terribly crushed. ~
A combination baggage and smoking
car and a coach took fire Immediately
after the crash. In the smoker were eight
Cinnamon. Five were pulled out alive,
but half-dead from freight. Three were
never seen after the collision. Bones
and bits of charred flesh gathered up in a
bag were all that were found of them.
A most pathetic scene attended the
death of little Mary Lyon. She was an
orphan, and was being sent through to
relatives in Cherry Greek, n. Y. Edward
Peltzer, passenger in one Of the sleep
ers, took much interest in the little girl,
and when the crash came his first thought
was of her. He found her wedged down
by seat, the hames already surrounding
her. This $50 unnerved Mr.. Peltzer that
he threw himself upon the ground and
sobbed.
Another eyewitness says that the little
girl, whose shrieks were heart-rending,
released herself just before the fire got to
her, and for a moment groped wildly
about, then fell over, choked by smoke,
the flames quickly coming up to complete
the dreadful work.
The passengers in the sleepers were
hardly aroused by the concussion. The
track was not cleared until one O'Clock in
the afternoon.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Some Suggestions Concerning n Number

Some Suggestions Concerning Number
of Needed Improvements.
To bring the public-school training
then to some measure OF what it should
be, from the standpoint both of urgent
public policy and of fair return for
the money levied by taxation for its
support, three things are necessary:
First, fully to arouse the public mind
to a sense of the proper general meth
DDS of teaching; second, to increase
the number and efficiency Of the nor
NAL schools, to the end that all teach
ers shall, of necessity, have received a
normal-school training; and, third, to
offer such salaries and such pen
sions or other rewards of long
continued, faithful performance Of
duty, that there shall be ample
inducement for the best men and best
women to go into this branch of the
public service, and to expend therein
their highest thought and effort None
of my propositions are new; have no
startling and radical changes to pro-
pose, I ask only for common sense in
the matter of child-rearing-the COM
mon sense distinguishing American
business methods, and, with reserva-
tions, American political systems. but
sadlp lacking in questions OF training
and education. No scheme of instruc-
ton, however. can be launched per-
fected. Years of trial, of very patient
and persevering trial, must precede
any decision, and never ought any
rigid system of teaching to be,
under any circumstances, adopted.
Not only must general methods
be the result Of years of experiment,
but they must be widely differentiated,
to suit the varying conditions-pecu-
liarly divergent within the enormous
area of the United States-of climate
and Of physical and political circum-
stances, assert, only, that in the pub
lie school system, as generally under
stood and practiced, there are two main
defects and consequent trains OF evil,
viz. those incident to the system OF
grading. and those arising from the
fact that public education begins too
late in the child's life, and is carried
too far toward young manhood and
gomanhood. RevssW.
