a Towing Steamer Sinks In the Lake
During the Blow.
RoUsE's POINT, N. Y, July 9.-About
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon this place
was visited by the worst wind and hail
storm ever known here, demolishing things
in general. A few moments before the
storm, which came without warning, the
steamship Little Nellie of this place, used
for towing purposes. left this port with a
pile-driver bound for Vermont, about three
miles distant. When about a mile out she
was lost to sight and little hopes were en-
tertained Of her reaching a safe point to
await the passing of the storm. AS soon as
the storm was over q search was made for
the missing vessel.
THREE LIVES LOST.
Twenty boats left port to look for her.
The search was in vain, as she had gone
down. Capt. George Clark, his son, and
Engineer Hill were drowned. But one man
was saved, and he had terrible experience.
Being in the pilot house when the boat cap
sized, he also went down with her, but
when she struck bottom he broke
through the window and made his
way to the surface of the water,
where he battled with wind. rain and hail
for over an hour, being rescued in an ex-
hausted condition. His hands and face were
badly cut For some reason the man re-
fused to give bis name. Parties are search
ing for the missing bodies, but as yet
without success. It is feared that there
were other casualties, as several fishing par
ties on the lake have not yet put In an ap-

YOUNG BLAINE PUT OUT.
Reed Thought he Was Too Promiecu
Gus on the Floor.

Reed Thought he Was Too Promiscu-
Gus on the Floor.
WASHINGTON. July 9.-Speaker Reed put
James @. Blaine, Jr., off the floor Of the
House this afternoon. James @. Blaine,
Jr, was appointed, early in the session,
clerk to the committee on foreign affairs,
by his fathers friend, Chairman Hit, at
his fathers request. This gave James q.
Jr., 81, 500 year and very little to do.
His duty being very light he was able to
spend great deal of time on the floor of
the House, hearing practical politics from
the pages. Under the rules of the House
he had no right to be on the floor except
when business from his committee was
under consideration, which has not been
often this season.
REED ORDERS HIM OFF.
Speaker Reed has observed his unauuhor-
lied presence on the floor with some i'm
patience, and at last to-day issued orders to
the doorkeeper that the young man was to
be kept off the floor. Accordingly young
Blaine, having fingered on the floor after
the House had disposed of the Behring sea
resolution Doorkeeper Coakley told him
that he must go out Young Blaine refused
to 60.
LED OUT OF THE DOOR.
Mr.. Coakley told him he must go and
that he had no right there. Young Blaine
insisted that he had when business from his
committee was up. "But that is disposed
OF, !" said Mr.. Coakley. Still young Blaine
would not move SO Mr.. Coakley, who is
an athlete, took him by the arm and led
him out gently but firmly, while young
Blaine threatened vengeance. The affair is
very embarrassing to Chairman Hit, be-
cause his relations are SO intimate with both
young Blaine's father and Speaker Reed.

BOILING LAKES.
Some of the Wonders of the Northern ST.
ezra Nevadas.

About one hundred miles north of
Oroville, at the foot of old Lassen.
there is boiling lake covering several
acres. The depth of the lake is un-
known, but its entire surface constantly
boils like huge kettle. The degree of
heat we do not know, but we were there
about ten years ago and remember dis
tinctly that it would scald the skin from
the fingers in very few seconds. Our
party agrees that it would boil an egg
in four minutes. The smell of sulphur
pervaded the atmosphere about the
lake, and around its borders something
like sulphur could be scraped up in hand
fuls This lake is near Hot Spring Val
ley, at the base of Mount Lassen. Be-
tween it and the mountain there are,
perhaps, a thousand boiling, bubbling
hot springs, and in tramping about these
springs the soles of persons shoes be-
come uncomfortably warm. The North
Feather river, at the base of Lassen, in
it's trickling SHOWS and springs, and in a
clear, cold and beautiful stream but
few feet wide, flows through this COM
munity of hot springs. Some of these
springs bubble up boiling water within a
span of the river. Standing in the midst
of these springs peculiar sensation is
experienced. AT thousand places the
earth emits vapor of smoke, while un-
der the surface there is jarring, roar
ing noise as if hudnreds of steam en-
gines were in operation, and the omin-
Gus trembling of the earth produces
feeling of uncertainty.
A short distance south of the Boiling
Lake and near Willow Lake, which is
beautiful, cold and clear, there are sew
eral geysers that shoot up streams of
hot water from five to ten feet in diame-
ter and eighteen to twenty feet high.
That is "a grand and rugged country
about Mount Lasssn, presenting every
variety Of natural beauty, and atfording
unlimited fields of study to the geolo-
gist. II it is desired to look into the
crater of an extinct volcano, a trip to
the summit of Lassen will crafty the
wish.
The high Sierras of Northern Cali
fornia are little known except to pros
pectors and trappers of past age, and
their wonders are yet to be described

A Mother Kansaroo's bravery.

A very pathetic story comes from Aus
tralia describing a kangaroo's daring
for the sake of her young. The owner
of acountry station was sitting one even
ing on the balcony outside his house,
when he was surprised to notice kan
garoo lingering about, alternately APP
preaching and retiring from the house,
as though half in doubt and fear what to
do AT length she approached the water
pals, and, taking young one from her
pouch, held it to the water to drink.
While her baby was satisfying its thirst,
the mother was quivering all over with
excitement, for she was only few feet
from the balcony on which one of her
great foes was sitting watching her.
The little one having finished drinking,
it was replaced in the pouch, and the
old kangaroo started off at rapid pace.
When the natural timidity of the kan.
garoo Is taken into account, 1t will be
recognized what astonishing bravery
this affectionate mother betrayed. II
is pleasing ending to the story to be
able to state that the eye witness was SO
affected by the scene that from that
time forward he could never shoot at q
kangaroo. Naturalist

CONVERSATIONS.

The morning comes with bitter winds that
blow
a. long the street a swirliiig mass OF snow;
Esut evening brings from low riffs upward
rolled
rtrhe radiant glory of the sunsets gold.
One finds the day with weary labor long,
while close at hand he hears an ider's song
What leaves an echo, but his work remains,
10 greet new peoples rushing down the plains.
ii sturdy ship, in seas that wildly toss,
Whero northern tempests surge the waves
across,
Makes desperate battle till the night Is done,
And Hnds at morn the long.sought haven won.
when autumn's heavy footsteps lingering pass
a bove the fallen leaves and withered grass
raneath the rustling garments, trailing slow,
The buds of wolets to perfection grow.
Swift as the thought that sweeps tho starspent
skies,
Denth's arrow to its work unerring flies
And finds that Love, with prescence as feet
On the chill lips has laid his message sweet.
No wearing toll no hours OF bitter pain,
Come to the world unlinowing Joy or gain;
And life, with all its weary waste, will prove
-The pathway leading TO a radiant love.
