TWILIGHT IN MY GARDEN.

purple twilight, from thy dim recesses
Pale memories steal and shape themselves
anew,
Soft breezes stir and lift. fair phantom tressss,
Tears mingle with the sacramental dew,
And shadowy lips are wreathed with tendes
smiles,
And loving hands shine family through The
glooml
IT'S not alone the roses fragrant hearts
That food the dewy dusk with rare perfume
The loved and lost with noiseless feet ore
straying
Among the gardens old familiar walks.
I wonder do they hear the fountains playing
And see the lilies swaying on their stalksf
o twilight time, when all earth's jars and fret
Die out, and quiet reigns on every handl
Who knows but for a little space perchance
The dear ones slip from out the 'summe

Propeller Of Launch Snaps and Boat is

New York, July 3.-Four policemen
last night rescued four men and thre'
women who were stranded in great peri
on the rocks of the Bronx kills. The
party had returned from trip up LonG
Island Sound on q large naptha launch
and it was intended to take a moon
light trip up the Hudson River, passing
through the Kills. The propeller
snapped and the launch was hurled
upon the rocks in midstream. A strong
tide was running and the boat was
whirled about like a feather. The men
were helpless and the women in fren'
zy of fright.
All screamed and shouted, but for q
long time, there was no one TO give as
sisthnce. At last the boat struck 8
sharp ledge and began to fill. The four
policemen put off in launch, towing
large row boat, but on account OF
the swiftness of the current, were un-
able to reach the stranded party for
some time. They succeeded, finally,
and just as the last person was rescued,
the launch went down.

CHARGE IS SURPRISE
Bailiff Summons Judge De Haven, At
torneys and Mitchell at II O'clock
to Hear Decision. Was Severe Blow
to Defendant. New Trial Asked For.

Portland, July 3.--0n almost the
stroke Of eleven o'clock tonight, the
jury in the case of United States Sen
ator JOHN H. Mitchell returned ver-
dict Of guilty as charged. The jury
recommends the defendant to the mercy
of the court. The charge is that Sena-
tor Mitchell, while occupying high
position, accepted a pecuniary compen-
sation while practieing before tae Fed
erai departments, at Washington. There
was little belief in the city that a ver-
dict would be reached, and when the
hours wore away, and the jury hung
far into the night, hope even among the
remaining few in the courtroom ebbed
to the lowest stage.
A few minutes before eleven the ba-
lift, as he had been a number of times
before, was summoned to the jury room.
A moment later he reappeared and
communicated to those in waiting the
news that the jury had agreed.
Judge De Haven, the attorneys, and
the aged senator, whose last days are
to be crowned with disgrace, were sum
moned, and in an incredibly short time
they appeared. Judge De Haven, as
cending the bench without removing his
overcoat, directed the jury to be brought
in. They filed in and took their places
in the jury box. Captain ]. A. Sladen,
clerk of the court, was handed the YER
diet by the foreman and opening it,
proceeded to read it amid the crash and
rattle of fire works being exploded in
the streets on all four sides of the
court house.
Captain Sladen spoke low, and with
the din without, but two sentences of
the verdict we're audible, guilty as
charged" and recommended to the
mercy of the Court"

With Que rush the mighty flood burst
