What She Was Thinking About.

What She Was Thinking About.
From the Boston Courier.
We sat in the parlor together,
And | watched her Deaming face,
And l said to myself, can / see there
OF love for myself trace:
Oh! is she thinking about me,
And wondering If I'll propose,
Or are the thoughts of the maid to-
night
OF other and richer beaus?
/ thought could see by her glances,
The chances she cast at me,
That / was the one she thought Of
The husband that was to be.
And my heart went out to the maid
ell,
And faster and faster it beat,
And said now this is the moment
To throw myself at her feet.
Yes, yes | said will ask her,
For now is the chance | see
To give-the beautiful darling
Her hand and her heart TO me.
But she looked at the clock, and she
asked me:
''Pray, isn't it time to jog:
IT'S after eleven, and father
Has purchased a big bull dog"

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 29.-The private
commercial house at Bagamayo of
Vohsen and Paul, acting in behalf of
the German East African company,
is founding commercial branch on
the west coast. If the project proves
successful, it will bring the trade
which British and Indian mer-

CHASTITY Asylum Revelations.

ALBANY, y. v, Jan. 29.-Ihe first
annual report of the state commission
on lunacy was made public today.
Considera BILE amount of space is de-
voted to comparison of the state care
and county care OF the insane; gives
strong grounds in favor Of the former.
A large number of shocking incidents
were observed in the county institu-
ton. One related to an aged woman,
afflicted with turbulent dementia,
who was found confined in a cell
like room. Her bed was indescriba-
bly, filthy. In another part of the
building a young woman was found
attired in nothing but a blue cotton
skirt and mans coat. In another
place the attendants excused them
selves tor bathing several patients in
the same water, by saying that the
patients with skin diseases were
bathed last. In another room, two
filthy patients were put in the same
bed.

The Snow b ockade Lifting,

SAN FRANCISCO, January 29.-It Is
now probable that the blockade of the
Sierras will soon be over. A big ro-
tary pillow has been dug from the snow
in the Cascade canon, and has done
splendid work since. The track is
now clear as far as the pillow can reach.
The snow it has been passing
through was nearly as hard as ice,
and averaged twenty feet. The only
obstacle now is about a foot of hard
trampled snow and ice, which covers
the rails for considerable distance.
This must be removed by picks and
shOves. The officials think blockad-
ed trains will reach here today.
Trains have two weeks mail. The
high water has gone down all over
the state.

The Warlike kentuckians.

LEXINGTON, Ky, January 29.-The
Sharp Rifles, this city have received
orders to be ready to march to Har-
Ion county. The occasion is appre-
hensive of trouble there when circuit

dered investigation into the troubles
in that county and it will probably be
made while the troops are there.

Sunset Notes.

The California freight traffic is
again blockaded, resulting from the
late heavy fall of snow which has
caused heavy floods, and several inn
pOrtant bridges have been washed
away.
AS before stated, large new machine
shops and round house are projected
at FL Paso. The buildings there at
present are frame ones, and it is de-
signed to replace them with brick
and fire proof buildings like those
here.
A gang of - cOnvicts who nave
been for some time ballasting the
road between Weimar and Schulen-
burg, will finish their work by the
9Th of February. This piece of the
road, nine miles in length, is peculiar
ly situated, and the heavy ballasting
it has received will result in great
improvement.
Engineers are now at work laying
out the proposed cut Off on the PecOs
river. This work is designed by
Strengthening the road to reduce the
distance some ten miles. There is no
heavy grading to be done, which Is
the more remarkable, as that part of
the road that is to be abandoned, con-
tains some of the costliest work on
the whole, comprising two tunnels,
some enormous cuts, three-span
iron bridge over the PecOs river, and
ten other iron bridges, which will be
taken down and used on other parts
of the road. 1t is besides the most
dangerous part of the line and track
walkers have to be kept on the track
night and day to keep the track clear
of obstacles. BY this change the
tourist will lose some of the best seem
cry on the line, but greater security
and shorter time will compensate this
loss. A fine suspension bridge is to
be built at the new crossing.
