THE PALACE OF SUNSET.

When the sun in hisTyrian drapery drcst, Liko ft slirulow of Ood, flouted down lo the West I smv a strange, benutiful palnco nn°e, On nil island of light, in the sapphire skies A palace of clouds! in moment it grew On an island of pearl, in an ocean of lilue, And spirits of twilight enticed me to stray Through these cloud realms reared from the ruins of day.

In musical murmurs, the soft sunset air, Like a golden-winged angel, seemed calling mo there, And my fancy speed on, till a found I rare home— A palace of jasper, with an emerald dome, On a violet strand, by a wide azure Hood And where this bright castlo of sunset now stood, Mcthouglit some stray seraph had broken a bar Krom the gold gates uf Kden, and left them aj ar.

There were amethyst windows whose framework seemed opiin Of fire drawn out from the heart of the sun Columns of amber, and fountains of light Which threw up vast showers, so changingly bright That Hope might have stolen their exquisite sheen, To weave in her girdle of rainbows, I ween, And arches of glory grew over me there, As these fountains of sunset shot up through the air.

While I looked from my cloud-pillowed palace afar, I saw night let fall one vast, tremulous star On the calm brow of even, who then in return For thegem on her brow and the dew in her urn Seemed draping the darkness and hiding its gloom, With the rose-colored curtains which fell from her loom. All bordered with purple and violet dyes, Floating out like a fringe from the veil of the skies.

And lo! far away, on the borders of night Hose a chain of cloud-mountains so woudrously bright They seemed built from those atoms of splendor that start, Tnrough the depth of the diamond's crystaline heart, When light, with magical heart, lias revealed The treasure of beams in its bosom concealed And torrents of azure, all graceful and proud Swept noiselessly dow from it uiuunUwnh of cloud.

Hut the tide of its darkness came »n with its flood, And broke o'er the stand where my frail palace stood, While far in the distance the moon seemed to lave, Like a silver winged swan, in night's ebon wave, And then, like Atlantis, that, isles of the blest, Which in olden time sank'neath the ocean to rest Which now the blue water in mystery shrouds Dropped down in the darkness this l'alace of

Clouda.

Result of Radical Policies The Chicago Times thus portrays the effects of radical policies upon the industrial classes'. "In 1SG1 the Federal Government was free from debt. The financial condition of the State governments was generaly prosperous, and the taxes in comparison with what, they now are were as a mole liill to a mountain. This huge indebtness has grown since that time. It must remain a heavy burdeu on the shoulders of laboring men for centuries to come. It is crushing their interests, and the prospect is that they will be compelled to add to, rather than be permitted to substract from, the number of hours of labor. The cost of all materials is enhanced by taxation, and those destitute of capital have nothing but their labor wherewith to purchase. It begins to look very much as if the result of radical politics will be the entailment of slavery on white laboring men.

Another Indian Atrocity.

Our dispatches yesterday communicated the painful intelligence that the steamboat Miner, with a full complement of passengers and freight, from St. Louis to Montana, on the Missouri River, was seized by some two hundred Indians, whilo the crow of the boat was engaged in cutting wood, and that all the passengers, men, women and children, were massacred, the boat plundered and then burnt. There must be some cause for these repeated atrocities, and that must be that there arc not enough troops in the Territories to intimidate the Indians. And that is not because there are not troops enough under the control of General Grant, but because they-are in places where there is no use for them. There are thousands of soldiers, we are informed, idling in the fortifications about New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other Northern cities and we know the South is full of them—not to put down a rebellion, or to prevent a new one—but simply to enforce military despotism upon the people of the South, and compel the white people thereof to put the negroes upon the same social, civil and political ,Srwplanc with themselves. In the mean ^Jltiine the scalps of men, women and children are taken by brutal savages, to •adorn their wigwams and'trccord the valor of their braves. At this iate day, it is hard to bo made to believe that such atrocities are perpetrated within the limits of "the Republic, where, with proper energy, vevery hostile Indian tribe could be swept ,out of es'sicncc. It is found to be easier

Ho hold in subjection a conquered people, land impose humiliating terms on them, *.^than it is to conquer a savage foe, especial~'ly when there is no hope of plunder to (stimulate energy. The pioneers of civil-~'^-i7ation among the wilds are left to the barbarities of savages, while military sat-

raps revel in luxury and ease in Southern ^'JcitieB, and lord it over defenseless and peaceful citizens.'—Cincinnati Enquirer.

WHEN Garrison the wretch who called tho Federal Constitution "a league with death and a covenant with hell," was leaving Boston harbor he was honored with a salute from a revenue cutter! This, coming from a vessel belonging to the Government whose constitution he denounced, is an. insult to the nation which calls for the immediate dismissal of the officer by whose orders the salute was fired. He should not be allowod to rcniain a day longer than is necessary to cashier him. .,•!

THE BUYS IN BI.UK AND POLICEMEN. —The New York I'ost of the 15th says:

A terrible lijrlit occurred near Hamilton avenue ferry last evening, between .1 number of soldiers and two policemen belonging to the First Precinct. The soldiers, who belonged to Governor's Island, had just been paid off. and were much intoxicated. They had insulted a number of ladies, when the police attempted to arrest them. The soldiers carried bayonets in their belts, which they used with desperation. Officer Powers was severely cut, and would probably have been killed but for the opportune arrival of Captain Warlow with a reserve of police. Five of the soldiers were arrested.

Lightening ami Death.

A special dispatch to the Chicago Journal. dated Henry, Marshall County Indiana, May 13, says:

A shower of rain, with heavy thunder and sharp lightning, passed ever that place last evening. The telegraph office, situated in the city drug store of W. Everett, was struck, the wires melfed off, and the combustibles set on fire. Being discovered immediately, it was extinguished with but slight, damage. The dwelling of John Ilindmarsh was also struck, and Mr. Ilindmarsh, a highly esteemed citizen, was instantly killed, {several others felt slight shocks.

A mad dog'was killed in Tcrre Haute 011 Monday, while eating a worm fence.

SUICIDE BY HANOINQ.—Julius C. Churchill, aged about forty-five years, and residing three miles south of Moore's Hill, committed suicide last Friday, by hanging himself. Previous to the commission of this rash act of solf destruction, nothing unusual was observed in his manner or appearance, and it appears that lie proceeded in a cool and premeditated style to an unoccupied building on an adjoining farm, ^and with -a leather strap hung himself to a cross beam. His body was not discovered until Saturday morning, when an iuquest was hold by Almarian Smith, Esq., and a verdicted rendered in accordance with the facts above related. We have heard of no plausible reason given for the commission of this act of self destruction. Ho was respectably connected and highly esteemed by the neighbors.—Lawrenccburg Register.

He next attempted to make the "shufUc" with a fork, but unfortunately did not succeed.—New Albany Ledger.

HYDROPHOBIA.—A correspondent of of the llockport Umpire., writing from Grandview, says:

The dog of Mr. Gordon, of this place, which went mad, or took hydrophobia some four weeks since, was seen to bite a hog belonging to Thomas Hay, which went raving mad just twenty-three days from the time it was bitten, and died. It is now thirty hours since the hog died, and the ground is yet perfectly green where the froth ran from tho hog's mouth.

Yesterday a fine cow belonging to Mr. Kay, went raving mad, and he took the precaution to shoot her this morning. A dog belong to Mr. Boiser, of this place which was bitten about the same time that tho hog spoken of was, was also found to be rabid, and yesterday, hunted down aud shot. This morning another case was fully developed in a hog belonging to Mr. Bcbcl, of this place, and the animal was killed by Dr. Trilman, as I understand.

TIIE GOSPORT MURDER.—Indignation Meeting of the Citizens of Owen, County.— We learn that hand bills have been posted throughout Owen county, calling for an indignation meeting, to take into consideration tho case of MoMinimy, tho murderer of James S. Johns. It seems that the citizens of Gosport and Spencer, the county sent of Owen, are dissatisfied .with the action taken by the meeting at Gosport, and feel it incumbent upon them to further consider the case in public assemblage, and take such steps as may be deemed best for the public safety in the future, and make sure that tho ends of justice aro satisfied. The meeting will be held at Spencer, eight miles from .Gosport, at which, place the prisoner is confined, ft is also the purpose of the citizens to take under consideration at this meeting, the best,method of ridding that section now infesting it, and, continuing their depredations in the very face of terrible indignation and outragdd feelings of all good citizens of that county. a
