1t is conceded by all that no two
pairs of hands are exactly alike. 1t is
also conceded that hand may indi

plainness, sensibility or brutality, and

more conceded that the hands of artists
and musicians commonly have long and

Break in the Mississippi Levee Which
WIN Indundate Whole Counties.
NEW ORLEANS, March IA very dis
astrous erevasse has occurred in East
Carroll parish, eight miles below Lake
Providence, in this state, on the west
bank of the river It is fifty feet wide,
and as the levee is built of sand soil and
averages about ten feet in height, it will
wash away rapidly and the crevasse will
probably cause as much damage as the
one in the same parish last year. The
water viii overflow cotton lands in East
Carroll, Madison, Tensas and Concordia.
The water will find its way back into
the Mississippi through the Tensas
bayou and Red river, and will have the
effect of prolonging the high water in
the lower river. If there should be rains
in the North and West, and flood in
the Ohio untold destruction would be
likely, The river at the point where
this last crevasse occurred is about
three-tenths of a foot lower than the
high water of last year. The creyasse
opposite the city Is growing wider every
hour.

GIBRALTAR, March 21.-Twenty-eight
adults and three children, victims of the
Utopia disaster, have been inferred in a
trench dug for the purpose, the ground
having been specially consecrated by the

Endurance.

Endurance.
How much the heart may bear, and yet not
break!
How much the flesh may suffer and not die!
Question much If any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
All evils may be BORNE
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life,
: Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching i'll;
We seek some small escape; we weep and pray;
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain is Of its sharpness shorn,
But that it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold it closer, dearer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deathly strife,
Leaving us stunned and stricken and alone;
But ahl we do not die with those we mourn
This also can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things famine,
thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inficts its worst
On soul and body--but we cannot die.
Though we be sick and tired and faint and
worn
Lo, all things can be borne.

Brave Love.
He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song,
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberries,
Or slept among the hay,
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare old tunes-the dear old tunesl
We could not starve for long
While my man had his violin
And / my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with as,
Old Man, since we were onel
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
1t long ago was done;
But those who wait for gold or gear,
For houses and for kline,
TIL Youths sweet spring grows brown and
sere,
And love and beauty pine,
Will never know the joys Of hearts
That met without fear
When You had but your violin
And / song, my dear.

STRANGE PROFLIGACY.

The Examiner, in discussing measure IN

give extra weight, says:
Eliminate The Examiner entirely from its dhe

rights of the public. We have spoken of the
fraud practice upon business men by the jour
nais which babitually attract custom on false

The Examiner could not have pictured in
any palmer language what it has been try
ing to do than that given in the above ex-
tract. which it wishes to apply to its con-
temporaries.
The Examiner tried TO dupe laboring peo-
pie with its intelligence office. Then, to 90 to

THE NEW POLICE LAW.

The new police law which the Governor
has just signed simply authorizes the legisla-
tive branch of the government of cities and
towns of specified classes to increase the
police force of their respective cities and
town within certain limits. The act places
limit upon the increase that may be made
to the force, but does not command munich
pal legislatures to make such increase. ii
The Legislature had undertaken to increase
the force the act would have been Inopera-
tive as the funds with which to pay the adj
dtional policemen have to be supplied by
the city. Cities have not yet reached tat
pass in subordnaton to the State at which
the State can require cities to disregard
pledges made TO keep taxes within certain
limits. The Board of Supervisors OF san
Francisco are now empowered to Increase
the police force of this city to the number
obtained by division of the population by
500. The act provides that the force shall
not be increased beyond this ratio. Assum-
ing the population of San Francisco TO be
10000 the board may increase the present
force up to 600. The consideration the
board must keep in view is the means of
payment. The tax levy is limited, but the
taxable property of the city will increase
from year to year. The only possible in
crease of revenue is from the broadening of
the basis. From $4,000 900 to $500 coo a
year will in all probability be added to the
taxable property each year, and the reve-
nue. derived from this increase will, at the
tax rate Of l per cent, range from 500, 900
to $4,000 a year. There should be no
trouble in keeping within the ODedollar
limit. The cost of governing city of 100000
people with $500, 600, 600 of taxable property
is not necessarily greater in proportion than
of governing cities of one-half the p0pula-
ton and one-half the wealth. The larger
city needs more schools, but not more in
proportion; more fire-engines, more police
men, more hospitals. almshouSes. iails and
courts, but not more in proportion Add
tons to the police force will consequently
be made from time to time as the increase
in population makes them needed and the
increase in revenue provides the means for
their payment. The police law offers no oc-
casion for the violation of the dollar-limit
