The PIaIntIys Singers.

There are poets with great sun
kindled, constructive imaginations,
and a far more numerous class who
have a certain kind of moonlight
genius given them to compensate for
their imperfection of nature. Their
want of mental coloring- matter makes
them sensitive to those impressions
which stronger minds neglect or new
er feel at all. Many Of them die
Young. and all of them are tinged
with melancholy. There is no more
beautiful illustration Of the principle
Of compensation which marks the di-
vine benevoIence than the fact that
some Of he hottest lives and some Of
the sweetest songs are the growth of
the infrmity which units its subjects
for the rougLer duties Of life. When

A MIDNIGHT BOOM.

Citizens Leave Their Beds In Spokane,
WASH, to- Squat on Northern Pacific
Lands-A Harvest for Enterprising
Young Lawyers.
SPOKANE, WASH, Nov. 22.-The heart
of Spokane was, the scene of great az
element at midnight. over 500 citizens
leaving their warm and comforta bic
homes to stake off town lots
in Shantytown during heavy
snowstorm. AS many as ten persons
would stake off one lot and, as con-
sequence, innumeraEle fights took
place.,
The land in question is the property
of the Northern Pacific railroad. It is
believed that the recent decision in the
land cases against the Northern Pacific
led the people to believe that the land
was opened to settlement. The
ignorant were led on by young lawyers,
who reaped a harvest by writing out
deeds all night long. Huts and cabins
of the most ludicTous design are erected
all over the little settlement. There is
likely to be bloodshed before the. boom
ers will give up their claims.

PRENDERGAsT's CASE.

The Murderer of Mayor Harrison Of
Chicago Dissatisfied with This Lawyers
Because They VIII Plead Insanity In
stead of Justification In His Defense
No Change of Venue Likely to be Asked
Tho Prosecution VIII Go ON tho Line
Of Plain Murder.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-E P. Prender.
CAST, who will be brought to trial next
Monday in Judge Dunn's court for the
murder of Carter Fl. Harrison. has
quarreled with his lawyers and insists
on having others engaged to defend
him. He wrote to his mother three
days ago asking her to send some
white fish for dinner and telling her
that he wanted new lawyers, because
Messrs. Wade and Essex were trying
to make him out insane and were
using the single tax cause unjustly to
prove his insanity. They will stay in
case to the end, however, as they have
been paid to defend the assassin by his
mother and brother. Prendergast
wants to have justification, expects to
be acquitted and expects the position
of coS%oration counsel which he covets.

to sleep. Not an unfavorable symptom
manifested itself at that time. This
was the last the doctor knew until he
was called to the bedside about 1880
o'clock and found the general dying.
He placed him in an easy position and
death resulted in few minutes. Car

funeral, as announced, will take place
