3ehold ! the eastern clouds are telling What they oft before have told ;
Sombre shades with glory swelling Flash from gray to ruby gold.
A thousand voices sweet upraising Gladsome greeting to the day,
As the sun, his forehead blazing, Wakes the birds and paints the gray.
See the warm clear rays of sunshine Touch the soft cold veil of mist; Laklet like the fog was lying, “er the sun the surface kissed.
Where has that smooth ocean vanished That just filled the valley, wide ? Into cloudlets it has vanished Floating up the mountain side.
All the leaves with moisture glisten In the glory of the sun,
While in stillest hash they listen Till they feel the day begun.
List and hear the gentle rustle, As the trees from sleep awake ; Every leaf is in a busile, ‘liny mist drops off, they shake.
Brilliant drops the diamond powder, Catch reflections of each ray ;
Dancing leaflets murmuring louder Shake the moisture far away.
Weak are words to show the splendor
Words all fail in power and grandeur To pourtray the death of night.
Black and awful for a season Night's oppression holds the world, All the mighty strength of reason Backword into dreams is hurled
Till the day’s approaching brilliance Wresties with the gloom of night, While the dart with stubborn dalliance Slowly yielding dies in light. : J. E, DAUNCEY. Lower Montague, May, 1889.

From the Ice-Bound North,
LORD LONSDALE, THE INTREPID EXPLORER VIsITs VICTORIA, B. C.—A BRIEF REUCORD OF HIS WONDERFUL TRIP.
(British Colonist. ) The object of the Earl of Lonsdale’s long aud dreary journey to the aorth, was for the purpose mainly of collecting informa- tion in regard to animal life in the northern latitudes.
On the 20th of February, 1888, Lord Lonsdale sailed from England on the White Star hiner Republic for New York. From the American metropolis he proceeded to Montreal, and thence to Winnipeg. Leay- ing the Manitobian capital behind him, in three days, travelling night and day, he reached Prince Albert. From there to Green Lake he covered 270 miles, travell- ing on what are called ‘* jumpers ’’—short, three- foot sleds, just long enough to hold a man and a couple of bags.
At Green Lake dogs and Hudson’s Bay sleds were procured and thetravellers push- ed on to the Isle La Crosse, where the In- dians are said to have first played the Can- adian national game.
It was then April 7th, and the weather had become so warm that the travelling*had

Fire on an Ocean Steamer,
i
The Hamburg-American steamer Rugia,
Captain Karlowa, from New York May 2,
for Hamburg, reports that the cotton in
her after-hold was spontaneously ignited
on the night of the 8th inst. The fire was
quenched after five anxious hours, during | which everything had been got in readiness | to abandon the steamer. One hundred and | thirty burning cotton bales were jettisoned.
Great fright prevailed among the passen-
gers, who remained on deck for 48 hours.
Through the efforts to quench the fire the cabins were flooded, and two-thirds of the passengers’ luggage was spoiled. Much praise is given the captain and crew. Two of the crew were injured, It is feared the steamer’s cargo is badly damaged.
After the fire had gained cunsiderable headway some of those on board made pre- parations to desert the ship, but were pre- vented by the captain, who threacened them with a revolver. When the iron bulkhead doors were opened the heat be- came so intense that many persons were scorched and the cotton bales around the passengers’ luggage took fire. Casks of lard, which formed part of the vessel’s car- go, also furnished fuel for the flames. Hope had been nearly abandoned and boats had been lowered to leave the threatened steamer, when it occurred to the captain to try steam instead of water against the fire. This plan was put in execution and proved successful. The passengers have presented the captain with an address and the crew with various gifts as evidence of gratitude and esteem for their heroic work

to be done mostly at night, to get any crust on the snow. From Isle La Crosse he went to Buffalo Lake, Clear Water Lake, Jack- fish Lake, Methee Portage and Fort Mc- Murray, at the forks of the Clear Water and the Athabaska.
Here a month was spent in moose *‘hunt- ing.” It was principally ‘* hunting,” for deer were very scarce. On May 7th the ice began to break up, and Lord Lonsdale and his two Indians, his only companions, embarked, and in five days reached Lake Athabaska, a distance of 280 miles.
On Athabaska Lake, which is 175 miles in length, the party was lost for two days in the fog, owing to the Indians making a mistake. They thought that the-ice had broken, instead of which, when the fog lifted, it was seen that the canoes were on the low trunda land, which was flooded, while the ice was still solid. For two days and nights it rained and scowed alternately all the time, and during this time it was im- possible to sleep, or to cook anything, as driftwood could not be obtained. When the sun finally came out, a crack in the ice was discovered, which, against the advice of the Indians, Lord Lonsdale determined to follew. By this means they crossed the lake, which was only twenty-five miles in width, and had hardly reached the other side when the crack closed and remained closed for a week.
** For the next 890 miles we had diflicul- ties like this constantly, but luckily we were never more than four days at one time without food,” quietly remarked Lord Lonsdale, as he proceeded to recount as ordinary details circumstances of his trip which most men would tremble to contem- plate.
The bodies of many Indians, dead from starvation, were met with, but not in such numbers as at first.
Following the ice down the Peace River, Great Slave Lake was reached on June Ist. Here the explorer was detained for some time by the ice, but finally pushed across and reached Hay River.
While on the Hay River, Lord Lonsdale says he saw the most beautiful waterfall in the world. It was horse-shoe shaped, and had a sheer fall of 200 feet, and a stop with another fall below it. It was about 14 miles wide at the top, and 1{ miles wide at the bottom.
The explorer went up the Peel River in the Hudson Bay Co’s steamer, and there got a boat and eight natives and started for the Arctic Ocean.
It was with the greatest difficulty that the Indians could be persuaded to go north, as they were terribly afraid of the Esqui- maux, who up there are called Huskeys; and instead of being short of stature stand six feet in height. When Lord Lonsdale arrived among them they made a half circle
in the midst of the awful dangers that en-
|compassed them all.

After leaving the hospitable (’) Huskeys,
the explorer went around Banks’ land on to the edge of Milville Island, and then back to the McKenzie, from which point Lord Lonsdale determined to walk to the Yukon, a distance of 80 miles. Each man in the party carried forty pounds of pro- visions, and the explorer himself fifty pounds. They procured a boat on the Porcupine River, and descended into Alaska, hoping to catch the revenue steamer about the middle of October at St. Michael’s. After many difficulties Katnai was reached on February 10th. On the journey hardships without numberwere met and overcome. The thermometer some- times registered 64 degrees below zero. After walking and running all day in the snow, the men were compelled to lie down at night in the snow to sleep. There was no wood for fuel, and the greatest difii- culty was met with crossing the mountains. People said it was impossible—that twelve men had died trying. Lord Lonsdale start- ed with nine sleds and sixty-nine dogs. At the foot of the mountains, the Indians ma- tinied, and refused to cross. Their rifles and snow shoes were taken from them, and finally they came to terms. When the mountains were crossed, only 29 dogs re- mained alive. All the rest were frozen to death. At Katmai, Lord Lonsdale waited until March 16th, when the [Alaska com- pany sent up the Lettie for him. He then took passage*on the Bertha, which brought him to San Francisco, from which city he has just arrived in Victoria. On arriving herey Lord Lonsdale found awaiting him an immense pile of mail, which had accumulated during the last 15 months. The Colonist representative left him buried in his ietters, which may possi- bly alter his present plans. It was his in- tention to proceed from Victoria to Winni- peg, and then to Ottawa. After calling at Montreal, he propuses going to New York, and there meet Lady Lonsdale, who is now crossing the ocean to join her husband, after his long journey, in which he esti- mates that he has travelled on foot no less than 3,000 miles. He has with him in this city four of the favorite dogs compos- ing his team in the Arctic regions. Three of the animals are genuine Esquimaux; the fourth, asea-otter hunter. The four are as fine looking animals as can be seen any- where.

Of Interest to Horsemen.
Says the St. John Telegraph of yester- day: Four specimens of trotting stock, 2 yearling fillies, one yearling colt, and a four-year-old stallion, arrived by yesterday afternoon's American boat, consigned to the care of Mr. 8S. T. Golding. The ani- mals were sold in New York, on the 8th and 9th instants, to Mr. W. A. Brennan,
editor and proprietor of the Summerside Journal and P. #. Island Agriculturist. They came from Hon. Leland Stanford’s
Palo Alto stock farm, California, and are four out of a sale of 73 animals made last week in New York. Mr. Leland has about 3,000 animals on his farm. The pedigrees of the animals is thus given :—
Stallion Balston, bay colt, foaled March 4, 1885; sire, General Benton, No. 1,755; dam, Lily, by lectioneer, No. 123; second dam, Lilian, by Lodi.

— -<a- ee Cockroaches in a Baby's Stomach.
The Evening Times, of Hamilton, Onat., is responsible for the following strange story: William Amos, proprietor of the St. James Hotel, on Hughson Street, on Fri- day went up to his dinner about half-past twelve o'clock, and Mrs. Amcs went down stairs to mind the bar-ruom. Meantime their little infant (five weeks old) was left lying in the cradle in an upper bed-room. When Mrs. Amos returned to the upstairs apartments she heard the baby crying and at oace took it up in her arms. She noticed that he was deadly pale and was gasping for breath. In a moment the frightened mother saw a large cockroach in the child’s mouth, which she pulled out. After nurs- ing for a second or two the infant’s stomach turned, and the vomiting brought up four other cockroaches, as big and ugly as the first. Two others came up in a little while, and the now thoroughly alarmed mother rushed off to consult Dr. Lafferty. That gentleman had never heard of such a case before. He said that the infant could not stand strong medicine, but he gave the mother a mild emetic to administer. This had the effect of bringing up another cock-
roach, bigger and uglier than any of its predecessors. It was nearly an inch long
and was caught by Mrs. Amos on the child’s tongue. Every one of the insects were alive. Later in the afternoon two other cockroaches came up the little one’s throat, one whole and the other in twe
parts.
