THE DESERTED HOUSE.

Back from the read, up the old path,
unmindful Of harvest and aftermath,
With empty easements. drear and gray,
The house stands, facing down the bay
And either side the slanting gate
The faithful sentinel lilacs wait
Deep tangling vines with close embrace
The forch's huted columns trace,
And tusy swallows dart and call
From ozt the rain stained. sagging wall
And longing, watching, desolate,
The faithful sentinel lilacs wait.
At dusk, in the old house see
A dancing lights weird mystery.
j. It a flrehy's iitful CLEAN,
Or some ghost candles fiickering beamf
Is 1t for this, when the hour grows late,
The faithful sentinel lilacs wait?

A FEW words with you Mayor-elect
Wiley. You know that you have
entered upon the duties OF your Office as
Police Commissioner, and have not yet
given bond for the faithful performance
Of your duties. What is more Important
You have not subscribed TO the oath, a
part Of which Ia that no unfit person
shall be appointed on the force. There
is no reason why you should not have
qualified as we'll as the other
commissioners. IL is not worth while
to tell man Of your Judgment, when
unwarped by political favoritism, that
you are now morally bound by it. You
have appointed Charles R. Ewing for
patrolman--you have, because the sorry
Jester, is now, but the tail to yonr kite.
We do not wish to say anything harsh
against this man, but you know as well
as we do, that he is totally
unfit to fill the duties OF
the position. He claims to have
done good work at the nomination cleo
tion In the Third ward His appointment
on that ground, aud 1t Is the only one

Grain Elevator and Contents De-
 stroyed-ShtpptnGi in Danger.
 BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.-Elevator A., of the Baltimore & Ohio road, located at Locust Point, was burned this morning with all the machinery and 5000 bushels of wheat. The loss is covered by insurance. Elevator A cost to construct and put in the machinery s500,000. It was erected in 1871, and is said to have been the first elevator located on the Atlantic coast. Its capacity was 5OO,O bushels. During the past year it has been used for wheat brought in vessels up the Chesapeake bay. Half an hour after the discovery of the flames the roof and walls had fallen. The fire made such rapid progress that when the iremen arrived the elevator was aban- doned to it's fate, and they gave their at tention to saving surrounding property. Blazing boards and pieces of timber were carried to & considerable distance, and, falling upon piers and ships, kept seamen and freboat and tugboats busy putting out the many fires thus started. The fire is attributed to spontaneous combustion. The elevator, it is understood, will not be rebuilt. Elevators B and 0 have capacity respectively of 100000 and 1,S0O, ,O0O bushels
