An erroneous impression prevails in
the idea that the birth of nation is con-
cealed in the recent federatio Of the
Australian colonies into one commons
wealth. So far rs can be seen the grip
OF England is just as strong upon the
newly federated commonwealth as it was
upon the several colonies, when each held
independent relations with the mother
country, and there is no good reason for
believing that the Australians wish it to
be otherwise.

Zeb gathered her into his arms
1t was almost dusk on the succeeding
night when a skiff slowly rounded the
broad shingly beach of Kings Point, and
skirting the gray little sandbars below
pulled luto the narrow opening of West
Pass. 1t was Zeb Posey, and he had come
to Nicksburg again to look for Coriia.
The mighty current of the Mississippi
once flowed in stately majesty past the
famous old town Delta Point from the
Louisiana shore pushed out and up in
front of Vicksburg long, narrow pen
insula, for all the world like crooked
index finger placed there to fret and dam
the impetuous food. This peninsula
forced the river to double back upon
itself. and swinging about to pour its
full volume down by the city. Delta
Point was a narrow, insecure barrier
into which the turbulent stream set its
teeth at each period of overflow.
When Grants investing army encom-
passed the place his engineers conceived
the plan of digging canal across this
narrow arm of Louisiana, and thus leav-
ing the impotent town inland. But the
stubborn river, which often eagerly laws
claim to furrow and scours it out until
1t ngulfs province, refused to be so
set aside or led away. The treasure and
lives spent upon the work were lost, but
that which science and bloodshed could
not do was wrought in one night in the
year 1876. Amid the tumult of a sum
mer storm the river threw off its yoke of
bondage, and cutting the meager PENN
sula hurled its swirling yellow, foam
ing mass through the new channel, leav-
ing Vicksburg with sand diked lake in
front of it.
The lake-called Centennial to COM
memorate the year of its crearion-is
hidden behind great bar of dreary
sand whereon a crop of scrub cotton
WOODS and willows wave in seasons of
low water, and across which steamers
ply to their rotting and long deserted
docks in times of overflow. The lake is
connected with the river by one narrow
channel called West Pass, and up this
gorge like estuary, with its high and
perpendicular mud banks, Zeb rowed to
an anchorage. He wished to avoid the
motley and iniquitous crew who swarm
and tester by the repulsive fish docks and
coal barges and cabin boats clustered in
the hollow cove near the landing.
When the night had grown dark and
the lights glimmered out in broken rows
upon the populous terraces of the steep
bluffs Zeb crept up toward the town and
wandered uneasily over the place. Now

Fire Destroys Many buildings at Dwight,

III, Including One Hotel
DWIGHT, H., Oct. IA very disas-
trous fire broke out here Saturday
morning about half past 0 o'clock.
The wind was very high, and total
lack of water and means to subdue the
fire cansed in very short time a loss
of $50, 600 There was very little in
surance The fire broke out in the
engine room of kepplinger's ma
chine shop, a large two-story
wooden building with a public hall
above. This was completely destroyed.
The violence of the wind was so great
and the flames so fierce that the fire
swept across the street. over the rail
road track of the Chicago q Alton rail-
way, and totally destroyed the resi-
dence of Thomas Perry. Sweeping west
the fire next destroyed the printing Office
of the Dwight Star and Herald, on
which there was an insurance of $1,000.
The Dwight steam laundry of Barr &
Co. was totally destroyed: insurance on
machinery, $1,000 The building and
printing office of C. a. Stuck, of the
North Star, was next completely con-
sumed. The furniture warehouse of Mrs.
Koehnlein was also burned. BY far
the greatest destruction and loss was
the burning of the Struffe house. This
was a large two-story hotel which had
been erected this summer for the ac-
commodation of the Kelley patients.
Some of the furniture was saved, but
the house itself was totally destroyed
At this stage of the fire the whole block,
which contains some of the finest resi-
dences of the town, was threatened
with destruction. Next to the Struffe
house was the residence of Mr.. Crock
err, a two-story frame building, stand
ing isolated This building was torn
down and dragged away and by this
action the fire was stopped and much
loss prevented. Engines came from
Odell. Bloomington and Joliet and rem
dered GOOD service.
