SHADOWS.

Barbara Hawthorne stands by the gate,
Song on her lips and light in her eyes,
Never a shadow of coming fate
Has darkened her life in anywise.
Song on her lips, and the shy love light
That deepens the hue of her radiant blush.
Tender her face is, and rosy and bright
As touched with a dying twilights flush.
This is the hour of the tryst she had,
The tryst with her lover, made under the rose.
Singing she waits, for her heart is glad,
No shadow can come on her life, she knows
Rustic of breezes. and fall of leaves
Twitter of birds in a dOwny nest,
Murmur of brook, are the sounds she weaves
IutO the song of a love confessed.
Slowly the moon comes up through the trees,
The hope in her heart is clear as its beam.
Footsteps are coming. She almost sees
Her lover come over the woodland stream
She almost sees him, so sure is she,
But the moments speed, and the moon sails
by.
The shadows are higher and seem to be
Seeking to dim the sweet light of her eyes.
Barbara Hawthorne faltering goes
Slowly away from the trysting place.
Sorrow has come to her, now she knows;
Shadows are yelling her fair yo2ng face.
Sorrow that never can pass away;
For the tender lover, whose love is DER,
Has played with heart for month and day,
And left it in shadow forevermore.

LANGUAGE OF APES.
Professor Garner Has Obtained Several
CIews to the Dialect of Monkeydom.

Professor Garner Has Obtained Several
CIews to the Dialect of Monkeydom.
There is a very remarkable paper by Pro
fessor Garner on the language of apes,
which he has been studying with the help
OF the photograph, and of which he thinks
that he has acquired at least some of the
rudiments. He tells Us that, with the con-
sent of DR.. Frank Baker, director of the
National Geological gardens at Washing
ton, he separated II pair of apes which had
been living together, and placed them i'll
different rooms.
Then he placed the monograph near the
Gaze of the female and recorded a few of
the sounds which she had uttered in that
instrument. IL was then removed to the
cell of the male and made to repeat the
sounds thus registered THE surprise and
perpleXity of the male were evident. He
traced the sounds to the horn from which
they came, and failing TO find his mate he
thrust his hand and arm into the horn
quite up to his shoulders, withdrew it, and
peeped into the horn again and again. He
would then retreat and again cautiously
approach the horn, which he examined with
evident interest. The expressions of his
face were indeed a study"
Using the photograph and doing all in
his power to initiate its sound after he had
obtained what he believed to be the chin
panzee word either for milk or for the de-
sire to obtain milk, Professor Garner made
the greatest effort to repeat this word with
his own tongue and lips to a capuchin
monkey. The monkey Immediately turned

Il. Harnby, of Butler county, o. He WAS

read an account of a young colored girl
whose name was Nellie Gray, who had
been sold and taken away from her colored
lover. He wrote a song from the incident
and sent the words to Chicago firm, but
never heard anything from it.
\ long time after the sending of the
words he was visitor at the house of a
young lady who lived at Columbus, o. He
asked her to play something. She said she
had nothing new except a negro song
which had recently come out. She then
played and sang Nellie Gray" Harnby
asked to see the music, which was granted

got. The publishers, according to the gen.

GREAT MUSICAL EVENT.
Franz Rumnel Coming.

The music lovers of our city will be de-
lighted to hear that the distinguished
pianist, Franz Rummel, has announced two
piano recitals to occur on Monday, March
16, and Wednesday afternoon, March 1S.
In this connection brief sketch of Herr
Rummels distinguished success will prove
interesting. Although but 81 years OF age,
Herr Rummel ranks among the great
pianlsts of the present day. He was born
in London, and at the age of IA became a
pupil OF the celebrated Brassin of Brussels.
Shortly afterward he had an opportunity of
playing before the great List, who predicted
that Sin four years he should be the leading
pianist of the world" Encouraged by this
king of pianists the young artist began a
concert tour, playing with great success in
the Rhine Provinces, Holland, France and
finally in England. Since 1881 Herr Rum
mel has lived in Berlin, where he has oc-
cuped the position of first professor of
piano at the Kullak and Stern conserva-
tories. In 1889 he made a triumphant tour
in Scandinavia, giving orchestra concerts
and recitals. He has played at all the
courts of Europe, and was created Knight
OF the Order OF Wasa by the King of Swe-
den, and knight Of the Daneborg by the
King of Denmark. Herr Rummel is an ar
tist in the full sense OF the term, and his re-
citals have produced vertable sensation
among the connoisseurs of Boston and New
York.

AN OLD ITALIAN FEUD

Resulted Last Night in the Serious Cutting

Nicholas de Sulava, an Italian, was
severely stabbed yesterday afternoon at his
home in Skunk Hollow, near the foot of

did the cutting. De Sulava came to America
little over a year since and opened boarding
house. He had eight boarders. Constable
frequently applied for board. but De Sulava re-
fused him, having had q quarrel with him in
Italy. and in fact left that country fearing that
Constable would xii him.

tackled him. A hard fight ensued and Con-

drew dirk the blade of which was ten inches
long, and plunged it into the back of De
Sulava, the blade penetrating about four
inches. Constable fled, leaving De Sulava
lying on the floor.
The latter remained there until 10 o'clock
last night, when he was discovered by some
boarders IN the house. DR.. Espy was called and
dressed the wound, which, although severe
one, will not likely prove fatal. The loss of
blood was considerable, and makes his cond-
tion even more serious. No arrest has yet been
made.
