james Russell Lowell.

One kiss from all others prevents me,
And sets all my pulses astir,
And burns on my lips and torments me;
TITS the kiss that fain would give her.
One kiss for all others requites me,
Although it is never to be,
And sweetens my dreams and invites me;
IT'S the kiss that she dare not give me-.
Ali could 1t be mine, 1t were sweeter
That honey bees garner in dream,
Though its bliss on my lips were fleeter
Than a swallows dip to the stream.
And yet, thus denied, II can never
in the prose OF life vanish away;
Ger my lips it must hover forever, -
The sunshine and shade of my day.

New York, Aug. 29.-Ada Gray, who
for years played the leading role in
East Lynne" died in the Fordham
Home for lncurables Wednesday and
was buried yesterday by the Actors
Fund of America, which has practi-
cally supported her for the last seven
years. She was about go years old.
She first attracted attention in stock
company in Albany, where she married
Charles Watkins, "a hotel keeper, who
subsequently managed her tours for
several years. He died in 1891. Miss
Gray early became associated with
EAST Lynne,' and her success was so
pronounced that she confined herself
entirely to it for the rest of her career.
In 1894 Miss Gray married Charles F.
Tingay, an English actor. Miss Gray's
health gave way, and year after her
marriage the Actors Fund found it
necessary to provide for her and furnish
medical attention.

EX-Mayor Shanssey.

Last Thursday night closed the third term of Col. J. H. Shapssey as mayor of Yuma, and he gracefully stepped aside and gave place to his successor, Lieut. R. $. Patterson. It must be conceded that the genial eX-mayor has some big marks to the credit of his administration, and for which he is entitled to special praise. It was through Mayor Shanssey's ad- vocacy and energetic interest in the city's welfare that Yuma acquired a sewerage system, electrically lighted streets, and a fire department, with tire-fghting apparatus. And it was by his direction that the steep and inn pa sable First street hill was cut down and made passable, and portion of First avenue graded. These improve ments are something to be proud of, and the Sentinel takes pleasure in ac- cording to ex-Mayor Shanssey the cred it to which be is entitled in bringing tnem about.

Suit Compromised.

At the last term of the district court Harry McPhaul secured a judgment against Yuma county in the sum oi S500, in a suit brought to recover that amount for the capture of Hart, who murdered Matt De Vane. The board of supervisors offered $500 reward for Hart's capture. and at the time this action was taken Hart was in custody, though this fact was unknown to the board, and really Hart at the time had not been identified. The board resisted payment, claiming that the offer of re- ward had not been promulgated. The court held that the action of the board in offering the reward constituted pro- mitigation, and ordered the clerk to enter judgment for the full amount. District Attorney Timmons appealed the case to the supreme court and it would have been heard at the present term: but a compromise was agree d upon last week. the county paving one half the claim, S250. and can, cling the judgment. McPhaul's attorney was Peter T. Robertson.

Practical Jokes.

A good joke is enjoyed by every body, and when it doesn't hurt the feelings of anyone, is duly appreciated. But when it is miss-construed or fails to achieve the end contemplated, it is very wrong.
 The above are the remarks of our re- porter, who has heard that grave mistake occurred in merchandise store in Yuma, and through no fault of either the proprietor, the salesman or the purchaser. It nevertheless has been somewhat irritating to the young man who figured conspicuously in the transaction. As near as we can get at the facts in the case. the play came about nearly as follows: A love-sick swain thought his lady love, the queen of all there was worth living fer, needed a little candy; and accordingly ordered a box of the sweetness and had it charged as he had credit in the mercantile establishment ], and whether the candy was to be delivered by the buyer or from the place where it was purchased the reporter does not know; but it sub sequently transpires that the box of candy was delivered in the general de- livery wagon of the store (which was great error), and to make matters worse, when the bill was made out, somehow CT other the bill clerk, in- stead of charging the purchase to the young fellow, got things somewhat mixed up and made the bill out to the company by which the young man was employed. This led to an investigation, and although the reporter cannot get at the bottom facts, we are of the opin- ion that practical joke has been prac- ticed on d new arrival in our midst, and this paper does not countenance such practices.
 Our best endeavors do not succeed in finding out who the young man is, or wos, bpt if these practices do not cease it will be almost impossible to get any good young men to undertake to send candy to his lady love.
