Higher on the page of history shining bright
Celestial like amid his peers of fame;
His name with that of North Dakota l woulc
write
A victor in the late ha:d-fought campaign.
Nor did he win by filthy lucre-paid
So often for place of dazzling height,
But by the honest, earnest efforts made,
Remembering the while that right Is might.
On went our gallant statesman in the race,
Unsullied by the combinations there;
God grant that he may husband richer grace
His well earned laurels ever more to wear.

Feb. 18.-North Dakota people have GER
tainly been blessed with sunshine and
good weather this winter. Our farmers

The Martinique Cyclone.

PARIS, Aug. Ex-Governor Case, of
Martinique, ,elegraphs up to date that
21S persons are found to have been
killed on the coast alone by the recent
cyclone. the towns IN the interior have
not yet been heard from. The death list
bv towns is as follows.
St. Pierre. "a; Morgn, Rouge, 2S; Fort
st. Denis. Z; Precheurs, g. Carbet, 4; St.
Joseph. 20; Marin, 8; Vauchin, 10;
Lamentin. 26; Francois, %, Robert, %;
Riviere Pilot, z; Miscellaneous, 108.
These numbers do not include the
deaths in isolated places, or upon panta
tions, with when no communication can
be had at present. A rough estimate of
300 killed an 1000 inJured will probably
cover the ground. The majority of the
inhabitants of Martinique are practically
without any shelter but that afforded by
huts which they have erected ior them
selves upon or near the spots where theil
homes recently stood. The governor
and the authorities are dong everything
possible to relieve the sufferers.

LONDON, Aug 21-Qulte number of
the Brussels congress made an excursion
to-day to the field of Waterloo. The
English delegates chose with few excep
tlons to absent themselves from the scene
of the memorable victory SO that the
excursionists were mostly French, Ger
mans and Belgians. The object was to
talk over the necessity Efor universal
peace, as illustrated by the famous bat
tiefield. 1t was noticed that many of
the Frenchmen were very restive. not
wlthstanding their assumed indifference
to the scene, and one of them got into a
wordy controversy with German as to
the share of Butcher in the victory that
nearly led to blows. The interference
of Bohemian and an italian was neces-
sary to prevent black eyes if not blood
shed. AT latest advices the visitors were
Grating on the battlefield in full sight of
the soniber' leone figure that keeps
watch and guard over the dead.

schooner shipwrecked.

MONTREAL, Quebec, Aug. 24-News
was received here late last night from the
lighthouse keepers at West Point that
the schooner Ellen and Mary went ashore
in dense fog, before daylight yesterday
morning, two miles east of English bay,
at the northwestern point of the island of
AnticostI. The schooner, besides a crew
of seven, had sixty passengers, mostly
women and children. 1t is stated that
only one boa was carried by the schooner,
and this was smashed to pieces immedi-
ately after the vessel struck. II is lm-
possible to reach her from the shore, and
it is probable that all on board will
perish. When the fog lifted yesterday
afternoon those on board could be plainly
seen from the shore rushing about the
deck as though distracted.
A later dispatch says that the Ellen
and Mary came off all right at high tide,
and her passengers landed in safety.

George Hamilton and his wife went Wis

8, and 2 years respet lively, at home.
Upon returning some time afterward the
children were missing. After lengthy
search they were found in an old tool
chest, where they had died from suffo
cation. A stick fastened in the staple
of the chest indicates murder. The
mother is almost insane from grief. The
whole town is wild with excitement.
There is no clue to the murderers.
