HESBY WADSWOBTH LOS6FELLOW. It will bs with feeling!* of profound sorrow that all who have been charmed by hia writings will learn of the death of this eminent poet and scholar, after a short illness, at bis home near Boston yesterday afternoon. Mr. Longfellow was born at Poitland, Maine, Ftbruiry 27th, 1807. He graduated at Bowdoin college in 1825, soon after which he was appointed profeseor of modern languages and literature in tbat institution, with the understanding tbst he should have the privilege of ppending some time in Europe in order mere fully to qualify Lim for his new position. He left him in 1826, and spent five years abioad, chit fly in France, Spain, Italy snd Germany. In 1835 he succeeded Mr. George Tiiknor in the chair of modern languages and belles-lettres at Harvard. He visited Europe again the sani® year, and, after making an extensive tour tbiough Det-mark, Sweden, Germany, etc., be te'ered upon the duties of his prefect isbip in 1838. Tn 1839 appealed his romance of Hypeiion," and a collection of bis poems entitled "Voices of the Night," which attracted great attention and raised bim at once to the first rank among American poets. In 1841 he published "IJallEds a&d other Poems his charming drama of "The Spanieh Student" appeared in 1843. This waa followed by bis "Poets and Poetry of Europe," (1845), "The Belfry of Bruges and Otber Poems," (1846), and "Evangeline," (1847), one of the moet a 1 mired of all his productions. It has been justly pronounced "the mewt perfect specimen extant cf the rhythm asd melody of the English hexameter." It was followed by The Golden Legend," (1851 "The Song cf Hiawatha," (1855,) perhaps the mes* popular of all his works "The Courtship of Miles Standisb," (1858,) and "Tragedies of New England," (1868.) Of his prose writings, besides "Hyperion," already referred to,. we nisy mention

Outre Mer, a Pilgrimage beyond the Sea," (1835,) "Kavanagfc," a novel, (1849.) and his contributions to the "North American Review." His last important work waa a translation of Daute's "Divina Com media," (1867,) remarkable for its lit eralntfs atd fidelity to the original. In 1854 he resigned his chair at Harvard, and was succeeded by Prof. Lowell.

As a poet Longfellow is probably the most popular of to-day. His works are well known in every household in America, and be is more generally read io England than is tfcat country's poet laureate. "It is easy to explain fhe eager and affectionate welcome," says Swinton, "which always hails Longfellow'-s writings As with Walter Scott, or Victor Hugo, or Beranger, or Dickens, or Addison in the Spectator, or Washington Irving, it is a genial humanity-. It is a quality, in all these instance, icdependent of literary art and of genius, but which is mtde known tu others, ami therefare becomes possible to be recogaized, oulv through literary fo-ms. The creative imagination, the airy fancy, the exquisite grace, harmony, and simplicity, the rhetorical biHliancy, the incinve force, all the intellectual powers aud chatmcs of etyle with which that feeling may be expressed, »nd ioformed and vitalized by tbe sympathy itself. But whether a man who writes verse has genius, whether he bs a poet according to arbitrary canons, whether some of bis lines resemble the lines of other authors, and whether he be original, are questicns.wbich may be answered in every way of every poet in history. Who is a poet but he whom the heart of man permanently accepts as a singer of its own hopes, emotions and thoughts? And what is poetry but tint song? If words have a uniform meaning, it is useless to declare tbat Pope cannot be a poet if Lord Byron is, or that Moore is a counterfeit if Wordsworth be genuine. For the art of poetry is like all other arts. While the magnetiem of Longfellow's touch lies in the bio«d humanity of his sympathy, which led him neither to mysticism nor cynicism, and which commends his poetry to the universal h=art, his artistic sense wi'S so exquisite that each of bis poems is a valuable literary study. In these be resched a perfection quite unrivalled among the poets of his day, exopt sometimes by Tunny.-on. His literary, career was contemp :rary with the sensatiousl school, but he was entirely untainted by it. The literary style of an intellectually introverted age or author will always be somewhat obscure, however gorgeous but Longfellow's mind took a simple, childlike hold of life, and his style never betrays tie inadequate effort to describe thoughts or emotions that are but ve-guely perceived, which is the characteristic cf the best sensational writing. Indeed, there little poetry by the eminent contemporary masters which is so tipe and rscy as his. He does not make rhetoric stand for paseioo, nor vagueness for profundity Dor, on the other band, was he auch a voluntary and malicious "Bohemian" ss to conceive tbat either in life or letters a man is releared from the plain rules of morality. Indeed( he used to be accusttd of preaching in his poetry by gentle critics who held that Elysium was to be found in an oyster cellar, snd that intemperance was the royal preogative of genius. His literary scholarship, also, bis delightful familiarity with the pure literature of all languages and times, must rank Longfellow among the learned poets. Yet he were this various knowledge like a shining suit of chain-mail to adorn and strengthen his gait, like Milton, instead of tripping and clumsily stumbling in it, as Ben Johnson sometimes did. He whtpped out an exquisitely pointed allusion that flashed like a Damascus rapier, and struck nimbly home or he recounted some weird tradition, or enriched his line with some gorgeous illustration from hidden stores or merely unrolled, an

Milton loved to do, the vast perspective of romantic association by recounting, in measured order, names which themselves make music in tbe mind—names not mnsical only, bnt fragrant: 'Sebean odors from tbe sp'cy shore

Of Ara.by the blest'" Such a man has the world lost in the death of the poet Longfellow, and it will be a very difficult matter to fill his piece.

The senate committee has favorably repor'bd tbe bill making aa executive department of the agricultural bureau. I* makes provisions for a secretary and assistant secretary, both of whom are to practical agriculturists, and divides the department into fire bureaus, as follows Labor and industrial, education, agricultural productions, manufacture and machinery, and transportation. It also provides that the geological surveys shall ba transferred from the interior department to tbe new department. Should the bill pass the farming element will at last be represented in the cabinet, but it is to be hoped that no such eminent granger as Le Doc will be placed in charge. As a farmer Uncle Sam was never a succeff. His experiment have generaliv been expensive failures.

New York Sun. Tbe recent terrible earthquake inOost* Rica recalls *gain the fact that we are now witnessing one of tbe uirflt remarkable periods of terrestial disturbance that has ever been recorded.

Tbe fact that we hearof to many minor earthquakes, mere '-tremblings and shakings which cause more or less alarm without doing much damage, may be owing to the system of observrti.m that h»s recently been adopted. Tbt study ef earthquake phenomena as a special branch of science is comparatively new, and the men who have established what may be. described as earthquske observatories, or rather observing statienF,-at various points on tbe

globe,

do ue.t allow any tremor of the ground, however slight, to go unnoticed. But besides the many slight shocks that have been felt in almost every country, there have been, within a year or two, eeveral destructive earthquakes, the like of which the world, fortunately, dors not frequently see. In November, 1880, occurred the great earthquake shock at Agram. About & year ago, in this same month, Casamicciola was destroyed. A month later followed the still more terrible disaster at Chios. 8bockd of less intensity were felt at times at both Aaram and Chios during the whole of la*t year, and the disturbance has not even yet ceased altogether.

Disastrous shocks have within the lant two years been experienced in two or three of the principal earthquake regions of the globe, namely the Mediterranean region and the nirrow waist of tbe Western Continent. In the E=ist Indies there has been EO great disaster within this time, but farther north, in the interior of China, e»rthquakes have.caused great loss of life, and property within tweive months.

The Mother of Porty-Four Children. From the Boston Transcript If the great Napoleon's famous definition of superlative female excellence may be accepted as correct, Dr. Mary Austin is unquestionably the most admire.ble woman in Fr»nce. This lady has just completed her thirty-third year ot wedded life, during which period she has presented her husband with no fewer than forty-four pledges of ber wifely affection. In the Spring of 1853, four years after her marriage, Mary Austin, nee Klind, passed her final examination at the Medical College of Orleans, and obtained diplomas authorizing her to practice in both branches of ber profession. As soon is the Franco-Prussian war broke out she ioined the army of the Uniou with her husband, and Iheprolific pair served with extraordinary distinction throughout the four years' struggle—Dr. Austin, in her surgical capacity, and Col. Austin, ae an active militant. The former, whilst attending to the hurts of her comrades under fire, waa thrioe wounded in action—the latter five times. At the conclusion of the war, the valiant doctor, having lost her left eye in the service of her country,-but in other re specie none the worse for her .injuries aiud fatigues, returned to her private practice covered with glory and in the enjsyment cf a staff officer's pension. Since then she has lived in peace and honor, the piide of her fellow citizens, and indefatigable in her endeavors to render her warrior lord the happiest of fathers.

THE CAES OF COOPKH.

WASHINGTON, Msrch 24 —In the executive session yesterday afternoon of the Senate the nomination of Cooper to be Revenue Collector in North Carolina waa defeated by the action of Senators Don Cameron -and Jones, of Nevada. Mott, the preeerit Collector, and Cooper are trying to organize a coalition movement in North Carolina, and in fact to Mahonize the State. Mott wants to vacate the collectorship and put Cooper in bis place, so that tbey can work together in behalf of this coalition movement. Tom Eeegb, ex-Secretary cf the Republican National committeee, violently opposes tbe coalition movement, and declares it would break up the Republican party in North Carolina. In order to defeat it be has opposed the confirmation of Cooper, and prevailed upon Senators Cameron and Jones to aid in Cooper's rejection. Cameron paired with Logan and Jones paired with another Rapublican, thus depriving Cooper of two Republican votes and rejecting him by two majority. By this action Cameron and Jones have put themselves on the record as opposing any Maho.ne movement in North Carolina. Keogh maintains that if the Republican organization is kept intact, and the coalitionists are put down, the Republicans can carry North Carolina next fall.

A POSITIVE PBEDIC1IOS.

WASHINGTON, March 24. Teller's name as Secretary of the Interior will go in on Tuesday of next week. He will, in the meantime, make a speech in the Sen-ate-on the silver question, and asked for a eel ay in the nomination on that account. Ex-Governor Routt, it rs thoughtj will rucceed Teller in the Senate,

M'DOWELL TO BE BETIBED. It is asserted in Army circles that General McDowell will be soon placed on the retired lidt.

It is s*id that his retirement will cot take effect till June 1. The struggle to succeed to the Mayorship between the ranking Brig'dirra is being waged by their friends with much vigor. Several Senators saw tbe President early this week in favor of General Crook. General Sherman is very anxious that Terry should have the prize, especially as he is the only Brigadier who is not a West Pointer. General Sherman says the volunteer soldiers ought to ba recognized in this way. General Pope is ths ranking Brigadier, aed his friends urge that he should not be passed over. He has a strong influence against him on account of the Fitz John Porter matter, and it is-said tbat th,e Dtnipcra's in tl Senate will make a party fight against him. Gen. Grant is strongly in favor of Pope, and those who claim to know the President's mind on the subject say Pope will certainly gat his promotion, and will then go to the Pacific coast in the place of McDowell.

GBJLMT AND TOM NICHOL,

General Grant was ssked this afternoon if he had anything to say concerning the alleged interview between him and Thomas M. Niohol, supposed to have taken place in New York after Garfield's election, and telegraphed from Chicago, in which he [Grant] is alleged to have spoken disparagingly of Rosecrans. General Gr.'nt said in replj: I do not know T. Nichols, and don't remember to have ever seen him, and I certainly never would have taid to him euch things as are attributed to me. A great deal attributed to me in that article I never saifl, or even thought, bnt some of the things I did say, but not to Nichol. I may have wen Nichol, but did not know him.

SERGEANT MASON.

In tho United States Supreme Court today Liddy filed a request for leave to file a petition for writs of habeas corpus and citiorari to bring the cass of Sergeant Mason before that court. The Chief Justice took the papers and said he would try to give an answer on Monday.

Liddy is a lawjff of Albany, N. Y. and a friend of Ma*on, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 24.—An immense petition for Mason's pardon has been received from Toledo, Ohio, with over 12,000 signatures^

SHIPHEBD SICK.

During the session of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs this morning the wife of Shipherd delivered to Chairman Williams a physician's certificate which stated that Shipherd is confined to his bed with a severe attack of neuralgia, and that he will probably not be able to leave his room for several days. The investigation thereupon adjourned, subject to the call ot the chairman.

THE JEARNETTE SEARCH.

WASHINGTON, M&rch 24.—Secretary Hunt has received from Passed Assistant Engineer Geo. W. Melville, dated "Yakutsk, Eastern Siberia, Jan. 3d," a copy of tbe letter of instructions sent by him (Melville) to tbe Ipravnik local Governor of Verkhoyansk, as follow: "It is my desire and the wish of the Government of the United States of America and of the projector of the American expedition, that diligent and constant search be made for the missing comrades oi both boats. Lieut. DeLong and his party, coneisting of twelve persons, will be found near the west bank of tbe Lena river. Tbey an sooth of the small hnnting station, which ia west of the honse known among tbe Yakuts as Guvina. They could not possibly have inarched as far south as Belcnn. Therefore, be they dead or alive, they are ber tween Govina and Belcnn. I have alreadf traveled ever this gronnd, but I followed the river bank therefore it is necessary that more careful search be made on the high gronnd back from tbe river for a short distance as well as along the riven bank. I examined many huti and small honsee, bnt could not possibly examine

all of them. Therefore it's necesnry tbat all—every house—large or sroill, be examined for the books nt p«i«rs or persons of the party. Men without food and with bat little clothing would naturally seek shelter in the huts along the lice of march, and if exhanated might be io one of the hnts. They Would leave their books and papers In the hot, if unable to carry them further. If they carried their books and papers south of that section of country between Mot Vai and Buleum, they will be found piled np in a heap, end some prominent object reared near them to attract the attention of searching parties.. In ca«e the. books or papers are found, they are to be sent to the American Minister Resident at St. Petersburg. If they are found in time and can be forwarded to me before I leave Bnsaia, forward them to me. The persons of the dead I wish to have curied to a central position most convenient of° access to Belua, all' placed inside a email house, arranged side by side for future recognition, the hut then securely closed and banked up with snow or earth, and to remain so until the proper person arrives from America to make final disposition of the bodies.' In banking up the hut have it done in such a manner that the animals cannot get in and destroy the bodies. Search for the small boat containing eight persons should be made. After the separation of the three boats no information has been received concerning the small boat, bnt as all three boatB were destined to Batken, and then to go to the mouth of the Lena river, it is natural to suppose that Lieutenant Chipp directed his boat to Baiken, if he managed to weather the gale but if from any cause he could not And the Lena mouth, he would continue along the coaBt from Baiken west for the north mouth of the Lena, or South for tbe eastern entrance pr mouth of the L$na river. Diligent and constant search is to commence at once, and to continue' until the people, books and papers are found, care being taken that a carefuiexamination of tbat section of country where Lieutejant DeIiOng and his party are known to be is made in tbe early spring time, when the snow begins to leave the ground, and before the spring floods commence to overflow the river banks. Oae or more American officers will, in all probability, be in Belcnn in time to asei3t in the search, but the search mentioned in these instructions ie to be carried on independent of any other paity, and to be entirely under the control of the. competent authority of Russia.

CLEVELAND, March 24.—Soon after 2 o'clock this morninga fire of unknown origin broke out in W. P. South worth's wholesale and retail grocery store, No. 114 and 118 Ontario street. Nothing is left of the large block except the ruined walls and the adjacent buildings are more or less damaged. Southworth's loss is estimated at $140,000 insurance, $90,000 en stock, $22,500 on building and $3,750 OB fixtures. J. Krause Co.» dealers in carpets and furniture, had a stock valued at $50,000 which they claim is totally destroyed insurance, $33,500. H. MBrown, dry goods, loses between $20,000 and $25,000 insurance $25,000. Chandler & Rudd, grocers Mrs. Wilson, hair stoie and two neighboring shoe stores were damaged perhaps $100. Incendiarism suspected.

The fact that the fire was first discovered in the part of Southworth's store where the most of the inflammable matter is kept, strongly points to incendiarism. Very soon after the blaze was first seen by the policeman the stock of gasoline and coal exploded and the whole building was immediately aflame. A searching investigation will be made. Before the firemen had ceased work on the smouldering ruins Mr. Southworth contacted with an architect and builder to rebuild on the site and have the store, finished by May 31st.

Within a few minutes after the alarm sounded for the down town fire another came from an up town district, aboutl a mile away, requiring the presence of several engine companies which had started for Ontario street. The sccond fire started in H. Campbell's dwelling on Sago street, and spread to neifhboiing houses and barns on Cedar avenue until three dwellings and four barns and sheds were soon destroyed and others more or less damaged. The aggregate loss is not yet ascertained. It is supposed this also was an incendiaiy flre and set to divide the fire department and insure a greater destruction of property.
