I will tell you a tale of the terrible fire : If springs from the earth—it is dreadful and | dive. in the bright Summer sky, See the spark Upward fly ; See it grow In its frame See it glow into flame. See it burning and blazing; See it spring into life With a vigor amazing How it longs for the strife! Hear the noise and the rattle — How it swells, how it grows, Like the crash of a battle, Like the clash of the foes ! See it rushing and rising and roaring, See it trying to touch a tall star; [t seems in the sky to be soaring Like a flag of fierce flame from afar. See it turning and burning and braving — See it streaming and gleaming and red Ah ! the smoke in the air now 1s waving Like a winding sheet of dull lead. : Hear it laugh with wild glee at each futile endeavor To quench or to quell its exuberant force : It is flaming and free and fantastic forever; It delights and exhaults with no pang of remorse, With no pain, but with passion—mad passion —it quivers With its pennon of scarlet—the bloodiest hue, With its gleaming streams and its rearing rivers, It dares to do all things that flame dares to clo. How it darts, how it dances and dashes, As though it had taken for aim, To reduce all the world into ashes And to fling all the stars into flame ! It-is glittering and glowing and glaring— And raging it rings its own knell ; It is showing its wondering daring — It is turning the sky into hell! How it lazily lingers With its swell and its fall; With its fiery fingers Weirdly weaving a pall ; With its horrible hisses, Like the wind in a storm; With its blistering kisses, (on face and on form ! Of its flashes Bereft, Ony ashes Are left; Till it cries Tell its doom — And it dies In the gloom. I have told you the tale of the terrible fire : It has sung its last song to its luminous lyre— It has sung its last song, it has breathed its last breath, It has lived without life, death. From A ppleton’s Journal for July it has died without THE CAMPAIGN, Facts for the Electors. In the coming elections it is of the greatest importance that every elector should be well informed on matters connected with the Ad ministration of the past five years. With this object in view, a series of political tracts are being issued from the GazeTTeE oftice at Mon- treal, which are carefully prepared, moderate in tone, and the statements and charges con- tained-in them are verified in all cases by reference to official documents and blue books submitted to Parliament. No greater service can be done to any constituency than a gen- eral circulation of the facts contained in these papers, and the publishers have wisely placed them ata price that brings them within the reach of every Conservative Association, and every constituency. We advise our leading politicians in every school section to send for a hundred of these tracts and distribute them carefully where they will be read. It is the best way to convey a clear and concise view of the political situation, and must result in bringing about an intelligent verdict in the coming elections. There are many politicians who are unable to spare time from their busi- ness to take an active part in the canvass but such men can well afford to spend a dol lar in circulating information among their neighbors. 2 @> o- An Astonishing Fact. A large proportion of the American peo- ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent. —_—_———_-—-—- sas a A St. John, N. B., paper says :—A few days ago Mr. James Corbett, of Petersville, Queen’s County, caught a large bear,which, when dressed, weighed nearly 500 lbs. The skin when stretched measured seven feet six inches by six feet six inches; the fat was abont four four inches thick—imagine the hair oil. ANOTHER HANLAN VICTORY. ‘* EPH ’ MORRIS PUT ASIDE WITH EASE BY THE TORONTO SCULLER—TWO REPORTS REGARDING THE TIME—THE ROSS-HAN- LAN RACE LOOKED FORWARD TO AS A WALK-OVER FOR HANLAN, PirrspuRG, June 20.—No race has ever taken place in this section that has caused so much excitement among our people as the Hanlan-Morris race, which came off at Houlton, to-day. The race resulted in a victory for Hanlan, after one of the most remarkable contests that ever took place on any water. THE COURSE. The race was over a five mile course on the Houlton, about 12 miles from this city. It was two miles and a half with turn and back to place of starting. The object was $2,000 and championship of America. THE CONTESTANTS. Hanlan had never been in such fine con- dition. He weighed to-day only 145 lbs., which is lighter than he has ever been since he became a rower of note. Morris was very little below his average, weighing 158 lbs. a few minutes before stepping into his boat. Hanlan pulled his new Elliott boat. THE CROWD TO SEE THE RACE, The large party of Canadians here for the past few days was supplemented by a great crowd of excursionists by special train from Toronto yesterday. The whole population of Pittsburg seemed to turn out to witness the contest, and there are gangs of boating men and gamblers from all parts of the United States, the greater number coming from New York and Boston. On all sides it was felt thatif Hanlan defeated Morris he would be able to defeat any other man alive, as Morris was known to be rowing much faster than when he pulled George Brown or when he rowed away from Scharff in a remarkably quick race. THE BETTING. Although it is believed that $500,000 of Canadian money have been here for betting purposes for the past three days, and while there is no doubt that fully $200,000 more were brought by the latest excursionists, there were not many bets of any account made on the contest till last night. Then considerable business was done in the pools at the rate of $1,000 to $800, the Toronto man having the call. Friends of Morris held back, believing that Hanlan men would give long odds sooner than take their money home with them, without having invested. GETTING READY FOR THE START. Nearly all day the course was in splendid condition, but it was not till very late in the afternoon that the contestants were called for the word. Hanlan was first to show himself. His own party was very nu- merous, and as he pulled for the starting point, he was very loudly cheered. Morris was the very picture of physical perfection. As his paper boat was being steadied for him to get in, he was loudly cheered by hundreds of admirers, and ‘‘Now, Eph. give it to him” was shouted to him on all sides. A report had been circulated that the race would be a sell—a put up job. Friends of Morris, however, had every confidence in him, and expressed their belief that if he lost the race it would be because he was unable to win, provided of course that no accident happened. THE START. After the usual caution by the referee, the oarsmen got off to pretty even start, Morris taking the water first. Hanlan struck the water at the rate of 30 to the minute, Morris starting off with 34 strokes to the minute. After about two hundred yards had been covered, it became a bow and bow race. This lasted for about 300 yards more, when Hanlan went to the front, covering the first half mile 3 mintutes and 2 seconds, being then fully a length in ad- vance of Morris. Now the Toronto man dropped his stroke to 29 to the minzte, and Morris increased his to 35. It was no use, however. Morris could not overhaul his opponent by speed, and he evidently de- cided that his only chance of winning the race was by endurance. He therefore set- tled down to a long 34 to the minute stroke, while Hanlan dropped -down to 28 to the minute. The first mile was covered by Hanlan in 6.05, he being then about the same distance ahead of his opponent when passing the half-mile post. The two mile and a half distance was covered by Hanlan in 17.09—-Morris several lengths behind. Now Morris began to make a terrible effort, and when three miles had been covered he had slightly reduced his lead. After the fourth mile Morris stood no chance of win- ning the race. Hanlan pulled home, wir- ner of the contest. Time, 35.15. Morris came in four or five lengths behind. Both men were warinly received by their friends. The race was a remarkable one, inasmuch as the time is extraordinarily fast ; and yet Hanlan did not seem to exert himself, nor Morris at any time able to be the successful oarsman. Sporting men here feel that Hanlan can beat any man alive, and that he will have a walk-over with Wallace Ross next month. To-night it is stated that Morris did not row at his best, something being wrong with his rig. -_-—— + :e—__-— Westward the star of civilization and pro§ gress takes its way. The Winnipeg Free Press of a recent date mentions that a dis- tillery there, at that time nearly finished, was expected to be ready for business the j following week. ib Le { aac ye cart ae Se GEE Ean aaa a : ee ee eng TE a EEN ET ESTE OT TL LT ae SR ga ae ae poe ee > A RAIS RE TI eet = Pee Me a ARCO I =. #8 yt Sees
