FENIANs ON THE BORDER.
They Are Now Preparing to Invade
Victoria's Domains.

A Burlington Cvt) special says: 1t
is reported that the Fenians are en-
gagged in storing large quantities of
dynamite, lyddite, ammunition and
supplies in a few selected repositories
in remote districts in Vermont and
Maine, near the Canadian boundary
line The information comes from per-
sons who claim to have knowledge Of
the purchase of some of the supplies,
and others who learned of their trans
portation by railroad disguised as gro
ceries. Dynamite and other explosives
have been secured in surprisingly large
quantities and stored underground on
the Vermont border, while quantities Of
canned meats have also been hidden
in some large barns of sympathizing
farmers on the Maine line near New
Hampshire.

On the dull horizons rim,
Sailing away from me
Sailing away with him.
But the night was fresh and fair;
And far and far and far,
Poised. as if in mid air..
a single. trembling star.
A ship coming in from sea-
A worn and weary bark
With none ON board Tor me
As it cleaves the waters dark
Women come troOping down,
Happy are they tonight;
And all the sober town
Is wild with joy and light.
They pass me as they go,
But / turn my eyes away;
For the head l loved lies low,
Close to Manila bay.
