a CLEAN.

Like opal tints by moonlight,
lnterlaced with the diamonds CLEAN,
My soul caught the fash and glim mer-
The truth OF neart-song theme,
The soul in that radiant moment
Cared not If the truth concealed
An ever restless longing
That morn should be revealed.
II quivered in light an instant
When j faiu would pen IL fast.
II tioated above the moonlight,
Leaving the gloom of the past,
Like an eager pinioned ca ptlve,
The soul forgets its chain,
1t rises TO follow after
IL falls to earth again.
Then cries IN It's groveling anguish,
stay but stay with me,
I'll search no deeper by thy light,
TIL comes eternity"
In Vain-there comes not an echo
or rest for the soul of mine.
There's yet. there's yet that something,
Which word cannot define.
And the soul has lost in darkness
That Il hath sought for years,
And upon its earth bound windows
Are the plash OF constant tears.

Out OF the dark sweet night,
Into the pale white light;
All OF the east a-thrill.
Bright as daffodil;
Lone in the sky afar
Glistens one pearl pure star.
Sombre the night shades lie.
Low on the western sky.
Cool is the low. light dim.
Eyes touched by sleep yet swim
Love sweet the dusk of night.
Dream sweet the days half-nght;
Dreams as star is fair.
Drift through the morn dark air
Visions by day undone.
Lost slowly one by enc.
Rapturous darkness ciingS
Soft as ravens wings.
Never song to fret.
Sumberous darkness yet
Holds every bird asleep.
Close in the soothing deep.
Pures, the souls fair fight.
Now at the close OF night;
Lost are all griefs and sins.
Just as the day begins;
While sleep yet fingers near.
Driving OF care and fear;
Drawing renewing breath.
Deep from the seeming death;
Framed in the breath of morn.
Lightly with thought upborn;
Past all OF fleshy sense.
This. the souls recompense,
Out Of the dark, sweet night
Into the pale. white light,
All of the east aflame,
Flashing with Gods great name!

Says Mr.. Russell Harrison fercely to
a reporter: Il want you to tell the editor
of your paper that / consider this thing
a piece of damned impertinence! Do
you catch my idea-damned imperti-

family, which the EAGLE never indulges).
The matter about which the reporter was
sent to interview Mr.. Harrison was
purely personal and private one in which
the newspaper nor the reading public
had the least concern, except a maudlin
semi-Craze some people have for some
thing sensational, and but for the cir
cumstance that the person to be inter
viewed was the son of the president no
thought of getting a statement from him
would have entered the newspaper
mans head. The editor and his reporter
should content themselves with publish
ing excerpts from young Mr. Harrison's
public utteraGces, in which he certainly
makes himself sufficiently conspicuous
to satisfy the most morbidIy curious.

Camp Columbia in 1898.

The following news has been received about

First. the matter has advanced so far that q
plate o. the camp has been put on paper. Sec
ond, IL Is known that very favorable replies are
coming N from the National Guard OF the coun-
try generally 10 whom corrcspondence on the
subject has been a5dressed. The idea is 20 have
a parallelogrgm OF leo acres inclosed By q taste
ful stockaGe as the camping grounds. The CEN
tral feature vii! be large parade ground, some
l,V35 by Is feet with the regiments camping
on three sides OF II, north east and south, while
the whole camp faces west, the entrance being
on the west center and the grand stand extend
ing along that side and fronting Immediately on
the parade ground. Camp CCluubia' viii &C.
commodate, ii is designed, anywhere from 5000
10 5000 ineI at time, and the idea IS that the
troops OF the National Guard all over the c0un-
try shall come in relays, succeeding each other
throughout the life OF the Worlds fair, each de-
iaehment remaining perhaps week, and thus
making the camp u continuous one.

THE RECESSION OF NIAGARA.
Interesting Figures From the Report
of the State Engineer.
Buffalo Express.


In the just published report of the state
engineer and surveyor is given the result
of last years survey OF the crest of
Niagara falls. 1t was made by Mr.
August s. Kibbe, assistant engineer. Com
parison with surveys OF 1872, 1879 and 1856
is made in tabulated form. The general
result of the comparison" says Mr.. Kibbe,
between the lines of 1872 and 1890 is. in
my opinion, substantially correct record
of the mean annual recession. Il shows
that at the American falls there has been
q mean recession Of 0.64-lO0 feet & 6S-I0O
inchesl yearly for forty-eight years. and
al the Horseshoe falls mean recession of
$500 feet q feet 16-l00 inches) yearly
for torty-eigat years.
The American falls show mean total
OF 80 75-l00 feet in IS years The Horse
shoe falls show mean total recession OF
lo4 SLIGO feet in Is years. The length of
the crest line OF the American falls was
1850 feet in 1872 and IS l.G60 feet in 1890
The length OF the crest Of the Horseshoe
falls was ;. POO feet in 1912 and is 300 feet
in ls99 The total area Of recession, or of
the rock that has disappeared. between
1872 and the present year, 1880 is at the
American falls B., 900 superficial feet or
755-l 600 of an acre. The total area Of re-
ceSslon between 1912 ana the present wear
at the Horseshoe falls is pa, 400 superficial
feet or 5 32-lO) acres.
In this connection desire TO express
my hope that measures may be taken to
carefully preserve the monumental points
of this survey, and should any changes Of
surface become necessary az the location
Of those points, the state engineer and
surveyor may be requested 10 define and
relocate such points. | also hone that
similar surveys may be made at short in
teryals. 50 that the record of the action
81 this great natural feature OF our coun-
try may be accurately made and perma-
nent.v recorded"
