THE VoYAGERS.

Very late in the lonely night,
Under moon and star.
When soft WaVeletS, whispering nght,
Tapped across the bar,
/ saw the fairy torches nit
Like glowworms down the shores,
| saw the wrinkled waters lit
BY the flash of fairy oars.
In pink boats and purple boats.
CLANS and mussel shells.
And curled nautilus that noats
Where the coral breaker swelis,
In oyster punts with pearly rim,
AND cookie wineries white,
They launched upon the breakers aim,
And steered into the night
Sails they hoisted as the went
Roseleaf's sill,el red.
Petal white from poppy rent,
l beheld them spread;
Broidered wing of butterfly
Some for sail did rear;
All the SparS were of ivory,
And the ropes of gosSamer-
And a fairy song | heard,
Rising, falling still.
All the sea-breathed night was stirred
With a tiny music shrill:
And little echoes came and went
Along the fluted strand,
With a farewell singing blent
From far wood-fairy land
Then their glowworm binacles
Vanished to a spark.
And their hyacinths chimed eight bells
Out across the dark:
So they sailed away from sight,
Ger the ripping bar,
Very late in the lonely night.

A MODEST PUBLIC BENEFAcToR.

The country owes a much greater
debt of gratitude to Robert Fitzsim-
mons than it realizes. He has proven
a real benefactor to his kind. And
how? BY elevating or lowering, which
ever it may be called, the ring to its
true plane. All knowledge and science
consists in ascertaining the true re-
lations of things. When this is done,
complete harmony exists and things
are on the road to perfection.
In the days when Sullivan was the
champion OF the ring he was made a
hero of, and he and others, not all his
admirers. delighted to talk of what a
really elevating thing pugilism was
after all and how there had been a
misconception about its nature all the
while 1t was said in favor of it that
it made one so manly; that it devel-
oped mind and body at the same time;
that there must be the cool head, the
quick and steady eye, the swift and
sure motion of the we'll trained muscle.
and much more of the same sort of
stuff. Sullivan, one of the very worst
specimens of manhood that ever came
into prominence. finally went down be-
fore a new man, Corbett. This latter
was supposed for some years to be the
very embodiment of the ideal pugilist-
a perfect fighter. a perfect gentleman.
He was even known as Gentleman
jim" He was considered for long
time as a living exemplification of a
sound mind in sound body. He had
done much to elevate (heaven save the
markD pugilism and prove that it was
not the brutal thing the popular fancy
painted it. He succeeded in befuddling
the public mind as TO the true nature
Of his calling; but finally his star went
down, and Lanky Bob became cham
pion and restored pugilism to its true
status. He strips it of all fine phrases.
it with no halo of any kind
while he himself makes no pretentions
to be anything but a fighter. This
shows him to be a manly fellow after
al, for he is all that he oretends to
De and pretends to be nothing he is

A REPORT FROM CUBA.

Speaking of his recent trip to Gin
cinnati, Secretary Gage says that while
there he talked with a gentleman from
London, by the name of Schieff, who
represents the Erlanger banking house,
which owns a railroad running from
Havana through the province of Pinar
( del Rio to the other side of the Island.
This gentleman had only lust come
from Havana and told the secretary
that he had been there for the purpose
Of investigating the condition of the
country and inspecting the line of their
road preliminary to making extensive
improvements and repairs. This gentle
man informed Secretary Gage that his
people proposed to renew a consider
able portion of the road-bed, substitute
steel bridges for wooden ones and put
the property in first-class condition, but
they do not desire to do so until there
is a reasonable probability of peace.
He told the secretary further that he
intended to recommend that work be
commenced at once. He said the coun-
try was pretty we'll pacified, that there
are no insurgents in the western end of

back to their farms and resuming the
cultivation of CROPS. There are some
bands of brigands and banditti around
doing what damage they can, robbing
people and blowing up property with
dynamite, said this gentleman. but
there is no organized opposition to the
government and while things are still
IN horrible state, yet he believes
there will be a large crop of tobacco
this year-about two-thirds as much
as usual.
If what this gentleman told the sec
rotary can be relied on. and presumably
it can be. then it must be acknowledged |
that things in Cuba, so far as the !
western part of the island is concerned, /
are hardly so bad as they have been |
represented. If the banking house of /
Erlanger is going ahead with extensive I
improvements on its railway property, /
they must feel that Spanish supremacy I
is pretty well restored and that it will /
be permanent. What a pity that full
and unprejudiced reports of the actual
condition of affairs in Cuba are not
1t is possible they may be
by the government but they are not
by the people

The spotter Yves a Loser.

Chicago Chronicle: Speaking of play
ing cards reminds me of story from
Kansas said Senator Turner of Wash
ington yesterday at the Great Northern.
Several years ago | was travelling on the
Santa Fe road with a party OF friends. We
were all deeply interested in the national
game, when the conductor came along and
told us We We're about to enter Kansas
ana II was against the law to play for
money in that state. and therefore against
the rules of the company. Along with the
other players | objected 10 having our
game stopped. We offered money to the
conductor II he would let us continue.
but he refused. At last we stopped for a
time. and one of the party secured the
stateroom in the sleeping car. Here we
were soon busy with our game again,
thinking We were safe from the conduc-
tor and the law. But we were mistaken.
Suddenly the train stopped and one of
the PARTY said he thought il good
scheme TO put all the money and chips
away until the train started again. II
We had not done as he suggested we
would all have been arrested. for the con-
ductor had called an officer. | was indig-
nant. AT last he took me to one side and
said that one of the party was a spot
te-. hired by the state and the railroad
company, and that was the reason he was
so strict. We soon informed the spotter
that he was not wanted in our party, and,
much chagrined. he left US, while the
was $50 loser.

Speaking Of New York, Mayor Strong
saws: 1T is big thing to be mayor
of a city like this. The Office carries

GOO a year. The property interests of
such a city are enormous. The business
carried on is of every kind. There is
more manufacturing done here than in
any other town in the United States.
The shipping interests are so great that
5000 ships come from foreign countries
TO these wharves every year. and two
ffths of all the products we shin to
foreign countries are sent here to be
loaded. The banking interests are the
greatest on this hemisphere. The New
York clearing house does a business of
$25. 600, OOO, coo annually, while the stocks
represented in Wall street affect every
country town in the United States" It
is big thing TO be mayor Of such a
city. but it isn't always a big man
who is mayor.

The Ogden Standard quotes this from
The Herald: The difference between
Senator Cannon's amendment and a
protective tariff is that his scheme
contemplates taking the money out OF
the treasury direct while the protective
tariff scheme contemplates taking it
out of the pockets of the people
through higher prices and then in a
vein of gentle irony says:
The Herald is in error. The Herald

The Provo Enquirer says it is esti-
mated that the government is losing
$4,000 coo week in revenue by the de-
lay in the passage of the tariff bill and
that the people are losing ten times as
much in work on account of the delay.
Therefore it earnestly asks every one
of its readers TO immediately write a
postal card to. at least, one member of
the United States senate at Washing
ton, urging and demanding the imme-
date passage of a protective tariff law
and such law as will give adequate
protection 10 American labor and
American industries. It tells them to
address their postal card to Hon.
Frank j. Cannon, u. S. s., Washing
ton, d. c.
The estimates of losses are I'M
doubleday too high while there
is not the least guarantee in the
world that if the tariff bill were
passed in the twinkling of an eye
there would be any very material in
crease in the revenue And does any
body believe that if the tariff bill were
passed the people would be the gain
ers to the extent of 10000, 600 a week?
But it can do no more harm to send
postal cards to senators than TO make
incantations TO drive away evil spirits
