The winter has been long and severe,
for weary weeks we have looked for the
coming of Spring, as those who watch
for the morning; but chilly airs have
fingered. and the mountain tops have
been white with snow. The fearful
storm of last Thursday night and Fri
day morning, seemed an unusual effort
of nature to break the frosty chain, and
let down the fast shut gates for Spring
to enter.
There is an old Scotch legend, that up
on such winds God sends his angels to
earth, who carry home departing spir-
its. A shadow darker than that of the
storm passed over our village, for
THE Angel of Death spread his wings on the
blast"
For a time the soul of Alfred Robinson
was imprisoned in its earthly tabernacle,
then, as the wind was suddenly hushed
TO almost perfect stiffness, it went home
to God.

The Y. N. c. A. date is may 10.

Managers Bond and Tiffany are to be
congratulated on securing for May 2,
Madeline Merli, the Italian star now
making an American tour. Wherever
Mss Merli has appeared the papers speak
IN the highest terms of her acting. The
New York World pronounces her the
new Bernhardt. The Philadelphia Press
says in Frou-Frou she is star of great
magnitude. The Pittsburg Leader says
she is handsome and chic, graceful and
highly cultured, and possesses great
dramatic power. The Altoona Tribune
says she has grace and power seldom
seen in one so young. The McKees-
port Herald says she looms up a yeri-
table queen, and assuredly will make a,
brilliant future in America. There is no,
better company on the road.

THE WEATHER SIGNALS.

asked as to the interpreting
of the Gag displays of the
United States Signal Service
by the Young Mems Christ

our readers the benefit of
the code. The dispatches
indicating the changes are
received daily, and the read

time by cutting out this ar
ticle and putting it into his
pocket.

weather, stationary temper
ature.
No. 2, alone, indicates
rain or snow, stationary

No. 4, cold wave flag.
Ne. l with No. 3 above it.
indicates fair weather, and

No. 1, with No. 3 below it,

4 British Victory.

Dispatches from Capetown give a most suggestive account of the battle recently fought between the British forces and those of King Lobingula. It is unnecessary to state that the natives were defeated. While the details are yet rather meagre, the report of most brutal and uncivilized conflict is confirmed. History, and especially the history of England, repeats itself. It is the pride of the nation to pose as a peace maker, while, at the same time, any reasonable sacrifice will be made to increase British possessions. The principles of equity and justice are cast to the four winds. The on ward march of conquering soldiers is uninterrupted The world be- holds another victory, but fails to notice the defeat. A striking illus tration of this policy is furnished by the incidents connected with the late Turko-Russian quarrel Tur- key is decidedly the sick man of Flu rope, and at the time of the disturb ance the onlooking powers expected to hear that the sick man had come to his death by hug of the Russian bear. Net so, however, for in due time preserver arrived. Self-ap- pointed and self-satisfed, the new conner directed things with a high hand. The world must have peace, and on that occasion England pre- served that prace by taking the Isl and of Cypress. Three years ago 200 British pioneers settled on the high plateau across the Limpopo river. The South African Company, acting under government instruc- tions, commenced operations, de veloping mines and opening the country. Nobody's permission was asked, and no right claimed for the course pursued. The natives of Mashona had been engaged in war with the Matabeles, tribe on the north and west. Hostilities were renewed and the British Empire enforced peace.
 How?
 First, by crossing without color of right or permission the Shangale river and marched toward the Kings capital. Resistance, although useless, was offered.
 What was the result?
 The almost superhuman courage of the native soldiers as they rallied around their King was mocked by q storm of shot from the death-dealine machine guns. Humanity could not withstand an actual stream of lead In short while 800 lay dead.
 The British loss was heavy. Two were killed and six wounded. Peace has been preserved and the South African Company is in better financial condition.
 And England is civilized?

men of the Grilse.
On Saturday. two boys, named Frank
and Henry Brewer, while fishing on the
bank of the river, Sacramento side, be-
low the railroad bridge, espied a fish,
improperly called salmon-trout, but
which Is really grilse, or male salmon
approaching puberty, in shallow water.
They stunned him with a pole, and
then rushed into the water and captured
him by hand.
1t is long time since one of these fish
has been taken as high up the Sacramento
as this. Their habitat is in the esLuarles
about the railroad wharVes at Oakland,
where the fresh and sea water meet, but
even there they have been scarce OF late
years. In the meeting OF salt and fresh
water at the mouths of the coast rivers,
such as the Russian, the humboldt and
the coves connected, they used to dlsport.
but OF late years have become consplcu-
GUS by their absence.
The presence of this particular speci-
men in the locality found Is interesting to

ton of the natural pisces Of our streams
and tributaries in meeting and recedlng
