The Roar OF Battle.

The roar Of the navy's four point
seyen's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine Of the sbrap-
mel, the barking Of the howitzers and
the mechanical, regular rattle Of the
quick firing Maxims, which sounded
like the clicking Of many moving ma
chimes On hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the conclusion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus Of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar Of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in enormous waves Of sound. 1t
roared like q great hurricane at sea.
The illusion was so complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tusela lashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds Of feet in air and
battling with her sides Of rock. 1t was
like the roar Of Niagara in a gale, and
yet when you did look below not leaf
was stirring, and the Tusela was Slip
ping forward, fat and sluggish and in
peace.-From "With Buffers Column"
by Richard Harding Davis, in Scrib-
ner'S.

SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL.
Prince Ching's Attitude Means the
Rescue Of the Legations.

Prince Ching's Attitude Means the
Rescue Of the Legations.
LONDON, July 9.-The more hopeful
feeling generated by Saturdays news
from Peking has been further strength.
ened by Rear Amiral Bruce's indorse-
ment of the rumors that Prince Ching,
who IS said to be heading counter rev.
olution at Peking, is fighting in behalf
of the legations against the usurper,
Prince Tuan. If the admirals hope that
Prince Ching. with his army, is defend
ing the legations at Peking against
Prince Tuan turns out to be well
founded, this turn of events will be OF
the utmost Importance, as it IS felt here
in some such division among the Chinese
themselves lies the best hope for the
safety of the foreigners. If the powers
can fnd allies in China itself it will ma
teriaIy facilitate the task of restoring
order, and those acquainted with che
country believe that if the diplomats are
able to induce such man as Ii Hung
Chang or Chang ii Tung to send forces
to the assistance of Prince Ching, the
hordes of revolutionists will disperse as
quickly as they have collected and way
to Peking will be opened without great
delay.
With all due allowance for the uncer-
tainty in regard for the reliability, the au-
thcrities here feel that the latest
messages from the far east give distinct
hope. IF, as suggested, the native sym
pathizers are able to keep the beseiged
legation reasonably supplied with pro-
visions, the foreign colony may yet es-
cape destruction.

Kate Masterson's First Poem.


Kate Masterson, the poet and humor-
fst, thus describes the beginning Of her
literary career:
81 was at school in Brooklyn when
I first sent a poem to Judge, signing
It kittie X. It was accepted and pub
lished with an illustration and my cup
Of joy was brimming. When got q
check for 50, effervesced. then sent
some verses to Puck. which was then
edited by II. c. Bunner. They were
also signed Kittie X, but were writ
ten from q masculine point OF view,
and. as I wrote a very geltlemanly
hand, Bunner evidently came to the
conclusion that was boy. He sent
me some very funny letters, and re-
piled, keeping up the idea that was
very fresh, slangy boy. He accept
ed the verses, She Stood on the
Stair and they were published IN a
Christmas number with picture. AS
this was only the second poem I had
sold in my life, you can imagine how
wildly anxious was to have 1t ap-
pear. I bothered Bunner with in
ouiries, for Of course that was the
only poem on earth to me just then.
I recollect finally writing him, DO you
think my poem will be published dur
ing my lifetime?
'.He wrote me, My dear boy, can
not say If your poem will be published
during your lifetime, as do not know
when you are going to die '"--Satur-
day Evening Post.

Able to Hear 1t.

It is we'll known that Joseph Medill
Of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat
deaf, although his ability at times to
hear what was said in an ordinary tone
Of voice was frequently remarked.
It is related of him that he dropped
into the business department Of the Of
fee one day to make an inquiry about
something that had occurred to him,
and a young man who had been in his
employ only few months undertook
in loud tone Of voice to enlighten him.
''What did you say?" asked Mr.. Me-
dill, putting his hand to his ear.
The young man repeated the question
in q still louder voice.
81 can't hear you," said the editor.
"Ch, chase yourself around the block,
you old granny muttered the impa-
tient employee just above his breath.
81 am not an old granny" said Mr..
Medill, turning away, "and shall not
chase myself around the block"
The fresh young man made imme-
diate arrangements to say goodby to
his job, but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had received
was sufficient and did not disturb him.

Ona More EulOry.

Lieutenant a. W. Thomson says, in
The Independent, that when the civil
war was practically over he was sent
from the camp at Lincolnton to Char
lotte, \. c., under a flag Of truce. He
entered the town and was conducted to
General Echols' headquarters in q
large upper room, evidently q school
room.
Our guide pointed out the general,
a fine, portly gentleman, seated at q
table. I advanced and laid my papers
on the table.
General Echols, presume:" 1 said.
'These dispatches are from General
Gillian. Shall I wait for an answer
please be seated" the general said.
Glancing around, I saw 1G or IS gen
tlemen, all, with one or two exceptions,
in military uniform. Colonel Morgan
came up to me- shook hands and said:
II believe you and are not entire
strangers
He had been our prisoner year or
so before. While we chatted a gentle
man in civilian gray suit turned to
address General Echols. The cold stare
of glass eye caught my attention, and
the features We're somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis. Are you here,
pressed to the wall?" was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas
ant than our northern papers had pic
tured it.
A dispatch was handed to General
Echols, who read and reread it with an
earnest. anxious lok. Half rising, he
passed the paper to Mr.. Davis, who read
it slowly and then handed it back.
"Well," said he, eve have lost a
generous enemy
It was the news Of President Lin
coins assassination.

needle Is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, fattens the head, pierces
the eye, then sharpens the tiny ilstru-

to the purchaser. There is also ma
chine by which needles are counted
and placed in the papers IN which they
are sold, these being afterward folded
by the same contriyance.
