The sentinel his measured beat With measured tread woe keeping, While like bronze statues at MB feet Lay tired soldiers, sleeping.

On swae worn laces of tbe men There homeeiot yearning, Which made it almoet again, be child-look was returning. While ou full many a youthful brow, Till how to care a stranger, TLc premature grave linen told how TJaey had grown old through danger. One, in his dumber laughed with joy, Tuci laughing echoes mocked him, He thought beside hie baby boy He sat and gaily rocked him. Optt.viUEungels!

Hearing no report of their arrival at the stetion; parties were dispatched from Sisseton to seek for them, and after a long and anxious search Steward Geeks was found by Lieutenant Chenoweth about six miles from Webster, wandering on the prairie.

He had been exposed to the storm nearly twenty-four nours and was exhausted, liis hands and feet being so badly frozen that amputation will be necessary to save his life. The stage driver has not yet been found, and it is not possible that he has survived the storm unless he fouiid shelter.

Friends from the fort followed the next day and the officer was found at Wahbaw exhausted.

Mr. Charles Hove, the well-known Appletou architect, is to furnish plans, and they are very fine, although plain and simple.

MILES, who was shot by his wife at Hudson on the 17th inst.died on the 28th.

A post mortem examination revealed the fact that the bullet had split, part of it penetrating the skull, plough- ing its way through the 'brain about four inches towards the back part of the head. His brain was also flooded with blood. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by a pistol shot fired through the door from the inside while he was standing on the sidewalk in front of the house, and that Mrs. Miles and Traverse were the only persons in the house at that time." The general impression is that Traverse fired the shot, and when the matter is brought to. final' trial the woman will save herself by turning against him.

The revolver used was owned by Traverse. political row hi City, las night G.

1C North Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md Dynamite in a School Bouse. the (Out.) A small boy named Mills, a pupil of the East Ward School, the other day conceived the unhappy idea that twenty- four dynamite cartridges contained a large amount of fun, and, not beiiie a selfish boy, he distributed the above number among his little schoolmates. Five of the cartridges, we are told, were placed on the stove, but were knocked off by a scholar. They were of the Mnd commonly used in blasting rocks, and were a portion of the stock supplied for that purpose. Before-tlie commencement of school work Willie Baldwin and several others stood at the stove, wanning themselves.

It is supposed that Willie held a cartridge in his left hand and a pin in bis rifrht, ami was industriously picking at the dynamite when the explosion took place. The thumb and two fingers were blown off his left which was otherwise shattered, and the nails were blown off the thumb and the first finger of the right hand. Drs. DeGrassi and Rodgers arrived almost immediately and amputated portions "of the shattered fingers and dressed the little sufferer's wounds without giving him an acassthetic. A piece of copper from'the cartridge entered just above the little fellow's eye, which was easily extracted.

Another boy named Cunningham was slightly injured. It is a wonder that a number- of the children were not killed instantly and the building blown into pieces. Had they thrown any of the cartridges into stove we might have had to record a terrible slaughter of innocents. Whoever left the dynamite within the reach of the child cannot be held blameless, and it is'to be hoped that Monday's occurrence will prove a lasting lesson to careless people. At the time of the explosion it is said that the teacher had commenced to pick with a pin at one of the cartridges in order to prepare it for the top of a pencil for one of her pupils.

If such is the ease, she had a very close call and one that she is not likely to soon forget. The unfortunate child is ten years of age and a eon of Mr. Clove Baldwin. The little fellowis the favorite of the whole school. Deeds of Blood.

Dismasted by a Whirlwind. fFrom Frincisco Call, March The ship Tacoma of Bath, lying at Yallejo.Street is undergoing considerable occasioned by a singular accident at sea.

Coming from New Yoik to this port with. a general cargo she was 'struck in north latitude longitude by a whirlwind which instantaneously carried sway her foremast and main and inizzen top-gallant masts. It was 9 o'clock at night and unusually calm for the latitude. The captain was in his cabin, and all the officers and men were below except those whose immediate and regular duty obliged them to be on deck ou ordinary watch. The weather gave no warning, the sky no premonitions of unusual danger, -when, as if struck with a thunderbolt, the soars, masts, rigging and sails went crashing by side.

No one was hurt. The spars were not snapped in two, as is usual in sudden accidents of this nature, but were twisted like wfl-: lows into shreds. The ship is new, this being her first voyage. Singular, another ship, the Edwin H. Kingman, by the same builders, was completely destroyed at sea in 1874 by precisely such another phenomenal occurrence.

Sailing' off the Falkland Talantfo, the Edwin H. Kingman was struck by a whirlwind, her masts and spars were shattered to splinters, and her hull was so completely wrenched and torn asunder that the crew had hardly time to lower the boats and take to their oars when the disabled craft sank in mid-ocean.

Mr. Dickey is dead, but the other two executors were about arranging for the transfer of the estate to the Children's Home of this city, when.Dr. Thaddens N.

(From the New York Sun, March In the crowd that hurried to board the Harlem train on Sixth Elevated Eailway at Twenty-third Street at 6:35 o'clock last evening was a little fair-haired, blue-eyed girl about seven years old, who carried a big bundle in a small She was accompanied by her father, who has but one leg, and another man. The men got on the forward platform of the third car. As she was about getting on, she dropped her bundle, and the candy it contained was scattered on the platform.

The little giri made a desperate scramble to save what she could of it, and while was so occupied the train began to move. The gate swung to as she tried to step upon the platform of the car, and with tier full of the cnudy, the was forced violently back.

However it was, the child fell between the' platforms 1 of the two upon the guards of the east rail. She fell lengthwise along the guards.

A German Traveler's Views. York Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.J A distinguished German engineer and raveler -named Chevalier Von Hesse is here, and has been making extraordinary suggestions about the Mis- River inundations. He says hat levees on the Mississippi Kiver will money thrown away, and that $100,00,000 already spent in that way have; been totally ineffective. He says the way to make the Mississippi behave is to shorten it in the effort it is making to horten itself toward the Gulf. In 1721 the distauce' from Cairo to New Orleans was 1,215 -miles, and to-day it is 240 rules less than that, or only 974 miles.

le says Bed Eiver ought' to be drawn off from the Mississippi and allowed to un to the Gulf through the Calcasion liver, which would be only 80 miles in- tead of 500 miles it has to pass through the Mississippi. Both the Ohio and he Red Eiver are a barrier to the rapid current of the Mississippi. The Waehita ought to be connected with the Atchufaiaya, and let off; to the ulf in. that way, instead of embarrassing he Mississippi. The Mississippi itself ught to be connected with Lake Borgne, proposed by Capt.

Cowden, which would draw off one-tenth of the whole of water. He says that the Eiver in Italy, which has magnificent eveeS, is regularly inundated, and that tie tendency of these levees is to raise he bed of the river by depositions' in it; so that the Fo, the Mississippi and inany ther rivers with artificial banks really run on a high ridge of hind, from which hey inevitably overflow the surround- ng country. He says levees frodi Cairo to New Orleans would cost $400,000,000, nd would meet with the same fate as the thers, and that artificial means cannot ceep the tremendous river within bounds, and the only way to dp is to aid nature find the straightest way to the gulf.
