AMYAS LEIGH.


+ Blind till lifes end, ended all his roaming
Ah never, never
To see the white cress of the breakers foaming
On Devon's rugged shore.
Never again to see the tall ships flying
On wings of snow,
Never to hear the eager voices crying
"'Tis westward hop
Gone like dream the wild old days forever
The struggle and the fight;
And the long march of steadfast stern endeavor
Through tropic day and night
Gone the mad lust to the Spaniard lying
Slain by his hand
To pay the debt of that dear brother dying
In foreign land.
So peace has come after the struggle dreary,
The right has conquered wrong,
And falls like balm mind and soul aweary
Ayacanora's song.
His wife forever-never to be parted
Sorrow Is dumb
And Hate and Pride have departed
When Love is come.

HARRY ALLEN CUT.
Had Thrashed alan For Making an
Insulting Remark About
Young Lady.

Harry Allsn, a candidate for the
democratic nomination for coroner
of McCraeken county, was cut late
yesterday afternoon, 1t is alleged by
Edward Cloonan, an engineer on the
Illinois Central.
According to statements given out
Allen had been electioneering. and
near Eleventh and Broadway met
Cloonan and other railroad men. They
wsre walking towards town between
Eighth and Ninth when Cloonan is
alleged TO have made an insulting
remark about young lady. Allen
warned him to be careful what he
said, as the young lady was a rela-
tive. Cloonan is alleged to have tier
ated what he said and Allen knock
ed him down several times.
The engineer is alleged to have
rushed at Allen about $50 feet furth-
er on, and Allen stumbled off the
sidewalk Just in time TO miss the full
force of a murderous cut. The knife
caught him on the tight side of the
throat and missed the jugular vein
by a narrow margin, infiict.ng a
cash four inches long.
He bled profusely, and was taken
to DR.. Horace Rivers office, where
his injury was dressed. The wound
is not dangerous. Cloonan escaped.
