NIGHTINGALE TINE IN ENGLAND.
Sir Edwin Arnold DiscOurses Sweetly

This is the month of the nightingale
In those parts of the country which for
some mysterious reason he favOrs now

of the natural world may be heard at
his Self-taught symphonies. 1t is not at
all uncommon to hear him in the day
light. but the evening hour is that which
"PhilOmeP' chiefly chooses for his song,
and his favOrite concert room is a close,
dark thicket. generally near the water.

dewy retreat he VIII often begin before

nightingale thus select the stiffness of

diurnal rivals, the thrush, the blackbird

is that the song of the bird of darkness
never sounds so effective when 1t IS
listened to among other choral notes of
the woodland. Ii wants no orchestral ac-
compartment; it is best as solo, de-
nvered- from the moist gloom of some
garden border or holly cOppice, amid
blossoms which ornament this month
the white and pink May, the lilac and
the siIvery spikes of the chestnut
But you may far more frequently hear
the nightingale than see lin. Many a
poet who has praised this small chorister
has, perhaps, never cast eyes upon 1t, or
If he has seen II by chance IN It's solitary
habits. has not known that the slender
bird which he beheld was that which
countless odes and endless pOetical lauda-
ton have united with mythology and
tradition to make the most famous of
lower living things.
The nightingale, when you do catch
sight of him, is sober in dress to the
point of duakerism. The upper part Of
his slim body IS rusty brown, tinged
with olive: the lower portions are of a
pale ash color, fading into a dull white
at the belly. In the somewhat hastily
constructed nest the hen, which is still
more plainly attired, lays from four to

that the music Of the moon sleeps in
the pale eggs Of the nightingale"
What mystery. indeed, can be greater
than that by which generation after gen.
grafton of the immortal bird catches up
saultlessly and by inheritance the melody
which has charmed the race of poets
from SapphO 10 Keats, and which can
not be heard even by the rudest ear
without attention and admiration? Is It,
- some naturalists held, long love song
which the male bird pours forth to his
nesting wife? Or is it some natural
hymn Of the joy Of life which nightingales
interpret in their own fashion, and which

rejoicing. all in one? The song Of the
nightingale has been transcribed into all

MUCH BETTER OUTLOOK.

Agent Burdick states that instruct
ions have been received to accept all
freight except perishable goods and
live stock, for all points along the
road in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
and South Dakota, and to ST. Paul,
but not to Minneapolis or to Minneso-
ia transfer. Freight and passenger
trains are now running on time on the
main line and branch, and the pros
poets are that there will be no further
trouble.
The Chicago & Northwestern road
reports that freight traffic to Chicago
has been resumed and freight has
come in from there, consigned on
July 9TH, and shipments have been
made to there. Passenger and freight
trains are running on time, and no
further trouble is looked for.
The Milwaukee road reports one
train west Of Lacrosse Sunday, and
the receipt of some way freight to-
day. Three trains went through yes
terday. The road will continue to do
the best it can, and the prospect is
much brighter for the future, although
the trains may not Immediately run
regularly.
G. A. Everhart & Co., have shut
down for the present, owing to lack
of coal and sugar.
On the whole, the condition Of
things locally is better than at any
time since the strike began, so far as
train service is concerned.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

The Minneapolis Tribune says that
a man named P. j. Wheaton made a
desperate attempt to commit suicide
at the county jail in that city about
one O'Clock this morning by plunging
a knife into his body in the region OF
the heart. His aim was inaccurate
however, and surgeons who are at
tending him think he will recover.
Wheaton came to Minneapolis from
Bismarck, n. D., where he is said to
be principal of the city schools, about
a week ago, and for the past few days
has been a patient at Asbury Hospital
having developed symptoms of insani-
ty. Yesterday afternoon he left the
hospital, where he claimed there was
a conspiracy to kill him, and calling
at the office of Sheriff Eye entreated
that official to receive and care for
him. The sheriff at first refused, but
later, with the consent and concur
renee of the physicians at Asbury hos
pital, accepted the charge.
Wheaton gave no signs of an intent
to take his life during the evening,
but soon after midnight he wrote a
note generating the sheriff from
blame in the premises and then with
q ",ocket knife, which he had conceal
eG about his person; tfiade the at
tempt at suicide described. He was
found soon afterwards in an uncon-
scious and weakened condition, and
physicians from the City and Asbury
hospitals were summoned. Their eff
forts to save the life of the unfortu-
nate man were rewarded, and at three
o'clock this morning they expressed
the opinion that Wheaton would re-
cover. He is about 80 years of age.
1t is believed that this is Prof.
Wheaton, a graduate of the Mankato
Normal school, and at one time an in
structor in the institution.
