ACROSS AUSTRALIA.

David Carnegia, who is a son of the
Earl of Southeast, has just returned
from remarkable expedition from
from Coolgardie. in the south, to Kim
berly in the north, of Western Austria
liza. The journey of 5000 miles, which
occupied over year, brought out the
innate determination, pluck and self
denial of the young explorer. During
the hazardous iourneyings over the
endless sand deserts, Mr.. Carnegie and
his companions had on more than
one occasion to go without water in
order to give it to their animals. The
route followed by Mr.. Carnegie, at
whose expense the whole enterprise
was conducted, had never before been
traversed by white man, and the
result of his observations is that it
has now been proved that the greater
part of the interior of the colony is
nothing but a waterless desert

ENCOUNTERED A TYpHooN.
Rough Voyage OF the steamer Colombia
In tho Chinese sea-saIiors Mutinied and
Onicers Had to DO the Work.

Tacoma, WASH, Sept 2s.-Fresb
from IN encounter with terrific ty.
phoon Of the Chinese sea the Northern
Pacific liner Columbia steamed into
port last night The vessel was
tossed like shingle ~ hours, driving
many miles back on her course and
carried SO near the coast OF japan that
the seas shipped by the vessel left
deposits Of sand on the decks. The
anchor had been cast, but the chain
snapped and the anchor and the cable
were lost and the ship was forced near
the shore. The storm occurred Au-
gust 90 off Foo Chow, China. The es-
cape Of the Columbia is considered NIL
raculous, and everyone aboard believed
the ship would never live through the
storm. The Chinese sailors practi-
cally mutinied after the vessel was
near shore and would not be driven to
work. The Europeans aboard, COM
prising only the officers, were COM
PEELED to do the work, with no assist
ance but that OF few sailors, who
happened to be passengers on the ship.

the sorrowfulness Of the Ex-
piring Year.

A great wave OF perspiration had swept
up from the briny depths OF the sea Of hu-
manity, and on its white.capped top the
month OF August had taken passage to the
shoreless realms Of eternity.
Tip.tilted on the petals Of the blooming
melancholy, days Of poesy and song, Sep
tember in her golden glory stood, and from
her harvest finger ends threw ripening
kisses to the world.
There was no sadness in her eyes, and In
her voice was only the music OF rich, ripe
fruit falling to the ground.
As she swept along on the crimson tide
Of her leafy glory, simple Oyster crossed
her path.
In his face was the shadow Of Fate.
His requiem was sounding in the key OF r.
September saw him, but she wot not what
he was to her, nor she to him. She nodded
at him smilingly.

Look upon me, prithee. Am mot indeed
In it?"
The Oyster was amazed.
81 beg your pardon" he answered, though
he knew full well what she had said.
"Dearie me, Master Lowly," she chirruped,
"do but look at me. Am not in it?"
''Do you mean the soup?" lugubriously in.
quired the Oyster.
'"No, indeed. Why should Il" laughed
the warm September. II mean the Au-
tumn, Of course, stupid" =,
Then the Oyster sighed as Il his shell
would break, and he wondered why one
could be so heartless as to jest upon such
serious Observation-Disclosures Star.
