CRYSTAL LENSES OF THE DEEP.

What painters palette ever caught such

The wondrous play of light which CLEANS
and glints.
The myriad beauties shifting to and fro
In multicolored rays which food and flow
Where waves their truths Kaleidoscope
And laugh aloud or sing along the beach9

The shadow pantomimes In green and gray.
The rarest hues in grand exhaustless stores
The mirrored pictures fringing wooded
shores.
The play OF surges In resistless sweep
And dlapasons Of the chanting deep.
How defuy weave the elves their nets OF
gold
with meshes draped in many cleaning

Rare silver webs in wells for naiad charms
And water jewels for their waving arms;
All these clear water-lenses multiply
Untn their splendors dazzle mind and eye
The breakers toss joy-jewels high in air
Rich emeralds. sapphires. pearls and dia-
monds rare.

A HORRIBIIE ACCCIDENT.

Mrs. Mary Sinister, aged 70 years
was frightfully burned on Sunday at
her home, on the outskirts Of this city.
It appears that she was alone at the
time of the accident. and while at
tempting to fix the stove some part Of
her clothing caught fire, and being
very old and partly blind. she was un-
able to help herself. Her screams at
tracted attention and much excitement
existed for a while, but no assistance
which could be rendered would avail,
as she was past all earthly troubles.
The oorDner's jury met on Tuesday
and rendered a verdict of accidental
death. Mrs. Sinister leaves one son,
Charles, and a daughter, Mrs. BOilean,
in this city, and a son, Thomas, and
two daughters, in Philadelphia. Inter
ment Will be made as soon as possible
in ST. James Cemetery. The funeral
services took place this afternoon at
O'Clock in the Episcopal Church.

The storm which has ragged so wide
ly over the country for the past few
days was felt as severely in this city as
in any other section of the state The
blizzard which ragged here cut Off all
outlet into the surrounding country
and blocked up the roads ais effectively
as If walls had been built across them.
The trolley company endeavored to
keep its line clear as long as possible
by running cars over it, but tAe fury
of the storm was not to be denied,
and as a consequence on the return
trip Monday morning two cars were
stalled in the snow at Cherry lane,
some distance beyond Megginson's
and the parties conducting them were
compelled to walk to this city in the
heart Of the storm. Another car was
fastened in the snow near Mr.. Hig-
gins residence, and also had to be
abandoned. The plough itself was
compelled to cease further efforts when
it had nearly reached the dyke bridge,
and it also was eft to its fate.
lAs soon as possible after the storm
ceased the corps Of assistants employ
ed by the company began work on the
huge snow banks which covered. the
tracks, and men were working like
beavers all Tuesday night and yester-
day to open communication again. The
snow plough looking like some mon
ster Of the deep as it plunged into the
great drifts, sent showers OF snow
high into the air and did very efficient
service. Four cans were placed behind
it, and with this great momentum most
OF the drifts were burst assunder, only
several times were the shovels brought
into play.
The drifts in the vicinity Of Landers
lane present a very imposing sight
appearing to be some fifteen or six
teen feet deep, and it was found neces-
sary to use some hand labor in this
locality. Large crowds OF people view.

One noticeable and commendable
feature of the Republican primary cam
paign this year is the lack of mud-sling-
ing, which is too frequently indulged in
by candidates to weaken others and win
support for themselves. The man who
has to resort to mud-slinging to try TO
defeat the other fellow, has very little
chance of winning, and often this under
hand and cowardly manner of trying to
get support acts as n boomerang.
