June roses with their hearts on fire,
Love blows as the wind blows.
Flame and fade in their own desire,
Love blows into the heart.
An perfect love, for thee sigh,
Love blows as the wind blows.
Thou vert so fair and sweet TO die,
Love blows into the heart.
Bind with the rue thy radiant brow,
Love blows as the wind blows.
Beloved OF the gods vert thou,
Love blows into the heart.

GERALD MASSEY, POET, PROPHET AM
MYSTIC.

B. o. Flower has done the world genu-
inc service in giving us this appreciative,
sympathetic study of Gerald Massey, a
poet of more than common inspiration and
genius, of whom too little has been thought
of late years. Massey is essentially poet
of the people in an even more intimate
sense, perhaps, than William Morris de-
serves that title. He might easily have
been one OF England's popular singers, for
he possesses the gift of song in high de-
gree, had he not chosen rather to dedicate

NORTHWESTERN MILLING.

The Holidays Interfere Considerably
With the Output-Trade Fair.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 28.-The North
western Miller says: The -four output
at Minneapolis last week was 278,9l0
barrels against 272, 472 the week before
and 81, ,445 the corresponding week last
year. At Superior Duluth the output
was 80, $40 barrels against 1866 the
week before and $3.50 last year.
Minneapolis-For this week the out
put will drop to point not touched in
q long unexpectedly 230, 900 barrels,
observance Of Christmas and the irregu-
larity of the water power in the main
being responsible. Flour was not ac-
tive last week, yet about SOC, 900 barrels
were reported sold. Domestic trade
again figured as the chief buyer, though
some parties did a good deal in export.
Declines in wheat enabled millers to
accept a good many Of offers out that
they would otherwise have felt obliged
to reject, this being the case in export.
Superior Duluth-A lighter output is
looked for the present week. Three
mills are going, representing maxi.
mum capacity of 1000 barrels daily, but
they were down Christmas. Last week
moderate sales Of -four were made,
though an unsettled market caused
buyers to hold of. Clears, with some
| parties, are in fair demand. Feed, es
'pecially bran, is firmer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-A New York
dispatch to The Daily News says:
There is a rumor that Secretary Olney
has sent private telegram to Lord
Salisbury assuring him that the passage
of the commission bill was not to be
construed as hostile act. The Daily
News says editorially on this: There
is nothing incredible or surprising in
such an announcement. On the con.
trary, it would be highly honorable in
Mr. Olney."
The Daily News says further: "Oul
Vienna correspondent has reason to be-
lieve that Lord Salisbury is negotiating
with France and Holland as owners o.
American colonies to join in profess
against President Cleveland's action
which has been condemned by Spain

Several Tons Set or at Romeo, on the
Chicago Drainage Canal.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-What appeared
to be another earthquake shook Chicago
at A O'Clock a. M, and made the coun-
try tremble for miles around. 1t came
not in the long, low, rumbling manner
in which earthquakes usually occur,
but with great boom. The explosion
is said to have been caused by four tons
Of giant powder which is said to have
been accidentally ignited near the little
town Of Romeo, ON the big new
drainage canal Throughout an
area Of about DO miles square from
Waukegan, Ills. on the north, to Kan
kakee, Ills, on the south, and from
Rockford, Ills, Oh the west to Michigan
City, Ind, OH the east, the shock was
heard. No one was killed by the explo-
sion, though probably as many as a
million were awakened by the shock.
The explosion occurred III the same
place where last week number OF
workmen were killed and injured by a
similar accident on smaller scale.

ANXIETY FOR THE MIOWERA.

Fear for the Safety Of the Australian
Steanship Increases.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. 28.-
Anxiety for the safety of the Miowera
which it is feared was lost while tow
ing in the disabled steamer Strathnevis,
10 increasing hourly and the opinion
among shipping men is fast crystalliz-
ing into belief that when the cables
with which she was towing the Strath-
nevis parted, they became entangled in
the propeller and put the Australian
liner at the mercy Of the elements.
Since Monday night when the steamers
parted company q dozen vessels have
come in by the cape, thoroughly cover
ing the sea from west tn southwest OF

Of the missing steamer. The Mowers
