A Kinigiu Disguise.
My brain is dull, My hands are tired, '
I have no heart for work or play;
Just let the hours go as they will,
I can do Aaught at all to -day.
We's battle does not need my aid;
I'll lay aside my sword and shield;
To -morrow, perhaps, With better heart
may be glad to take the field.
What is To -day? A few Short hours
,In which men toil, or think or weep.
TT let them idly drift away,
And sleep and. diem, and dream and sleep.
What folly 1" cried my better self.
-
"Lift up.thy.droway heart and eyes.
What is To -day? He is a king, '
A mighty monarch in disguise. •
"His hands are full of splendid gifts -
Honor and wisdom, wealth and fame..
Haste thee Perchance this very hour -
This only hour -he calls thy name." *
Then anxiously, with eager haste,
I went and stood in duty's place;
And just atiMiontide's weary•hour
Fortune and I met face- to face..
She said, " I've waite here for thee,
And half I feared thou would delay.
Now what the past has still denied
Is thine with ten -fold grace to -day."
What is an hour? Oft fortune, fame,
Of weary years the goal and prize ;
What is To day? Go serve it well -
Perchance a monarch in disguise.
A TICICIIIBEE DEATII.
Thrilling Accident on. the *Pacific Coast
• No novelist ever deviseda more intensely
dramatic and pitiful eituation than was
witnessed last week beside the trackOf the
Southern Pacific Coast Railroad, near Ala-
medee California. •There was an accident.
on the road, owing to the sinking of a part
of the track. The engine was overturned,
and the fireman, Dan Driscoll, was caught'
by two iron bars, one of whioh crossed his
breast and the other on his feet. He was
not severely injured by this, but the bars
held him inextricably fast, and meantime,
on both sides of the track, which at this
point lies on a low trestle bridge built across
a long stretch of marsh land, the salt tide
pouring in from the Bay of San Francisco
was rapidly rising. It was evident that un-
less speedily retrieved he would be drowned.
Simen labored with desperate energy to
save him. They wrapped sheets about his
body and exerted their combined strength
to pull him from beneath tbe bars that
pinned him to the track. He cried piteously
that they were killing him. • They tried
again and again, but Without avail. A levee
was built around his head to keep the water
1' from reaching him. Bug:limns were brought
and'as the water oozed in it was bailed out.
Then they raised his head and held it as
high as possible above the water. For two
hours these labors were -ceaselessly con-
tinued, but at the end of that time the levee
broke, and the -friends of the doomed man
found that they could do no more for him.
The water rose rapidly about his body and
reached his chin. Then all caught hold of
him and tugged desperately,. but in vain. A
friend held his hand over the unfortunate
man's mouth, but the 'water -rose to' his
nostrils, and -he Was drowned in the -press
Hence of the helpless crowd. •
BID PRICES FOR JERSEYS.
The Bull Sir George Fetches $3,100.
A New York -telegram says : A large lot
of Jersey cattle, recently inaported directly
from the island without touching England,
were offered for sale at the American Horse
Exchange yesterday. There were seventy-
three bulls and cows and three:or four
young calves, born since their mothers were
taken from Jersey. Buyers from all parts
of the country were there. The heaviest
prices paid for single cattle were given by
Col. H. S. Russell, of Milton, Mass.; W. H.
Wilson, of Springfield, Mass.; D. F. Apple-
ton, of New York, and W. R. Vanderbilt, of
New York. The bull Sir George was bought
by Col. Russell,- after brisk bidding, for
$5,100. Col. Russell also,bought Mabel II.
for $2,200, Mable V. for $1,350, Bobby's
Gem for 51,325, and Lady Garenne IL,
eight months old, for $1,100. The bull
Cicero was purchased by Mr. W. H. Wilson
for 53,100, and the cow Medressie by W. K.
Vanderbilt for $1,700. - The Moulton
Brothers purchased Rainbow for $950,and
• Mr. D. F. Appleton secured probably the
greatest bargain in the sale, getting Dairy
of Linden for 5430, • while Mr. Wallace
Burns, of Bristol, Conn., carried off her
calf, a week old, for 525. The sale produced
about 544,600.
The bull Sir George (sold for 55,100) is a
half brother to Mr. V. E. Fuller's cow
Blonde II. and Cicero (sold for 53,100) is
sire of some of Mr. Fuller's young stock.

Important Discoveries as to the Assassins
- Westgate Still brJail.
A Dublincablegram says: The weapons
used by the murderers of Cavendish and
Burke were found in the rafters of a stable
in the rear of a house belonging to a man
recently eentenced to penal servitude for
intimidating Mrs. .Kenny, widow of the
murdered man in Seville place, because he
was suspected of giying information pnit.
corning the murderers. It is alleged that
Kenny was driver of the car in which the
assassins rode on the night of the rnurder.
,The weapons found were four knives, nine
inches long, With blades three-quarters of
an inch wide. They are quite new and
very sharp, and evidently surgical' dissect-
ing knives. There were discolorations_on_
them, which, on chemical a,nalyzatiou,
proved to have been made by human blood.
It is hoped the murderers will yet be cHp-
tured. The authorities observe the strict(..st
secrecy.

says: Two of
the largest congregations that ever assem-
bled in St. Peter'sCathedral were gathered
today (Sunday) to listen toBishop Walsh's
first discourses since his return' from a
Visit to Ireland. The Bishop's address in
the evening was devoted to setting forth his
inepression of 'Ireland and the Irish ques-
• tion as derived from his recent visit. While
neither endorsing nor condemning the,Lancl
League, the Bishop contended that agitation
had accomplished much good, for the Irish
tenantry. The •Bishop condemned 'in
scathing terms the agrarian outrages that
have disgraced Ireland, but at the same
time argued from the .figures and com-
parisons of Prof-Lem:1i Levi, that accord,,,
ing to her population there Was less crime
.in Ireland than in Engla,nd,. Scotland and
Wales. , In regard to mending the condi-
tion of Ireland His lordship was opposed
to 'the disintegration of the Empire. Ire-
land 'needed"Britisli connection, but she also
needed and was entitled to 'a measure of
Efethe Rule such as enjoyed by Canada; He
predicted a brighter future for' Ireland, as
juster views were gained of Ireland's
grievances!

1843. This °enact is moving. in a curve of
eight or ten years. The comet of 1880 was,
as is generally belietsed, that 'of 1843..
This certainly, can't be the same. The

whether the .comet has divided or not.
