When firt he snuirht our haunts he wore Kin locks in Hamlet style; , Hi brow with thought was sicklied o er We rarely mw him smile: And e'en when none were looking on, His air was always woe-be zone. He kept, I know, his bosom bare. To imitate Jean rani; Hi almost only topics were .t'jithetics, Kate, and Soul, Although at times, but not or long, He bowed his Intellect to song. He served, he said, a Mose of Tears; I know his verges breathed A fine funereal air of biers And ob'ects cypress-wreathed; Indeed his tried acquaintance fled An ode he named "The sheeted Dead. In these light moods, 1 call to mind. He darkly would allude To some dread sorrow undefined. Some passion unsubdued ; Then break into a ghastly laugh And talk of Keats his epitaph. He railed at Women's faith as cant; We thought him grandest when He named them "Siren-shapes that chant On bleaching bones or Men ;' Alas, not e'en the great go free Front that insidious minstrelsy ! His lot, he oft had used to urge, Iay on a lone liock. where Around Time-beaten bases surge The Waters of Despair. We knew it true. We never knew What gentler ears he told It to. We, bound with him as brethren were, Oue-mlnded, celibate. Resolved to Thought and Diet spare Our li ves to dedicate We. truly, in no common sense. Deserved his closer confidence! But soon, and yet, thoagh soon, too late, Ä'e, sorrowing, sighed to find, A gradual softness enervate That once superior mind, I'ntll, in full assembly met, lie even mentioned Etiquette. The verse that we stvere had known Assumed a wanton air; A fond, effeminate monotone Of eye-brows, eyes, and hair: No ethos stirred him now, or nousHe read The Angel In the House! And worse. He, once sublime, to chaff Grew whimsically sore If we but named a photograph We found him simpering o er, Or told how In his chambers lurked A waistcoat curiously worked. Then worse again.- He tried to dress. He trimmed his tragic mane. Announced at last to our distressHe had not "lived In vain ;" Thenceforth bis one prevailing mood Became a base beatitude. And, O Jean Paul, and Fate, and Soul! We met him next grown stout. Ills threat with wedlock's triple roll, "All wool," en wound about: His very hat had changed Its brim ! Our course was clear. We banished him.

" El Libro Talonaria" (The Checkbook), a comedy by Senor Echegaray, Spain's present minister ot finance, is drawing crowded houses at Madrid. The presentation of a checkbook is apt to draw. A large number of prominent citizens of Chicago are urging Prof. Swing to hold one service each Sunday in some public hall, in order that the masses of people may be benefated by hia preaching. And this is the finale of the Longfellow Canada canard: Iiord Duflerin, the gov ernor general or the Dominion, has sent a warm invitation to the poet to visit Ottawa and partake of his hospitality. Brook, the late president of the Mer chants' National Bank. Petersburg, Virginia, has been indicted for embezzling and mis -appropriating the credit monies of that institution to the amount f f. 00,000. Of the fund collected in England for tbe sick and wounded duiing the Franco-Prus sian war, an unexpended balance remains of 400.000. This has been invested, and Is to be used in the event of another war. Thomas C.

M. Ollivier.it is said, intends to found a bi monthly review, of a high character, in Paris, whenever the state of aeige shall be raised. This periodical is to be of the same scope and dimensions as the Itevue des Deux Mondes, and will be edited by- M. Ollivier himself. A bill has been introduced into the New Jersey Legislature, which provides for the appointment of an Inspector of liquors in every county of tie state, whose duty it shall be to examine all alcoholic liquors offered for sale in bis district, and visiting with severe penalties any attempt to vend impure or adulterated beverages. Somebody has caught a glimpse of Alexandrowna Marie and says tbat she is little of stature, neither tho darkest of brunettes nor the fairest of blonds.' Her features are not Greecian nor anything descriptive, bat she is judged to be a "charming little creature." Of course; only if she was plain Sally Brown, ot Shadville, who would think of calling her "charming?"

Now all the dear ladies will be anxious to import, so that they can enjoy what their neighbors cannot a taxed bonnet. And here is the "old, old story:" Lucy Hooper tells a very touching story of tbe chaplain of a Massachusetts regiment, dur ing the late war, who, dying, confessed that he had long loved Clra Louise Kellogg. "She does not know me." said the poor fel low, "nor have I ever met her or seen her off the stage. But she is the one tbe only woman I ever loved. I saw her in the opera repeatedly when I was last in Boston, and the effect "she produced on me was instanta neous and inenaceable. And I snouia aie the happier did I know that she would one day learn that I had once existed." At the general convention of the M. E. church, held in May, 1872, a committee was appointed to consider the propriety of erecting a monument over the grave of Bishop Kingsley, who died April 6,1S70, at Bey rout, Syria. A fund of $2,500 was raised for that object, and the monument is now on exhibi tion in New York city. It bears this inscription: "Rev. Calvin Jvingsley, D.D., bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church. Born in the state of New York, United states of America. September 8, 1812. Died in Beyrout, Syria, April 0, 1870. while making for his church the first Episcopal tour around the globe." An exchange says a jumping match took place the other morning in Harlem, New York, between five young ladies, for a 200 moire antique dress pattern. They wore flannel blouses of various colors, red flannel breeches, buttoned at the knee, stockings of different hues and high-heel gaiters. Miss Cecelia Mackey lead oil with a jump of seven feet three Inches: Miss Kate Pope followed with a jump ot seven feet four and a half inches; Miss Delia Cox surpassed them with one of eight feet two and half inches, and Miss Mary Baker succeeded with eight feet two inches. Miss Ida uiateiy jumped only seven feet and one inch. In the second trial. however. Miss Cox lumped more than tbe others, eizht feet and nine and one-fourth inches, and she won the "moire." THE NORTH CARO LINA SENSATION EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF THE BALD MOtX TAIN UPHEAVALS THE FKAR OF THE PEO PLE ASCENT OF A PARTY AND THE OBS ER VATTONS MADE. A correspondent ot the Evening Post, writing from Spartansburg, South Carolina, under date of March 23d, says: For the last two or three weeks the wildest reports imaginable concerning tbe phenomena at Bald Mountain, N. C, have been afloat here. It baa been announced that several persons who attempted to ascend the mountain were prevented bv the hot rocks, which burnt their hands and feet; while others, who sue ceeded in ascending some distance, were forced to retrace their steps or be suffocated by tbe sulphurous vapors, which, it was said, wore continually emitted from deep fissures made in tbe side of tbe mountain by tbe re peated shakes. But the most exaggerated report of all was, tbat irom these fissure there was an occasional burst of brich' ilame. which illuminated the whole countrv around, and that an immense cave had suddenly opened on tbe mountain side, through which con trary currents of wind were constantly pass ing, witn a force sumcient to burl a man from the mouth into the pit of darkness be low, and bring him up again, with equal force, nicely EMBALMED IN HOT LAVA. Having just return! with a party from what is considered the seat of disturbance, I am prepared to say that none of these re ports have any foundation whatever in fact. It is an old adage that the greater the distance a lie has to travel tbe more dispro portioned it becomes and the greater number of believers it is likely to gain. This has been the writer's experence during a five day's trip to and from tbe mountains ct North Carolina. Our party left this place early on Wednes day morning, tbe 18th, and reached a beau tiful valley among the mountains two and a half miles from Stone Mountain, a prominent peak ot Bald Mountain, late on Thursday afternoon. At about sundown, while ascending a small mountain half a mile south cf this valley, we were startled by a deep rumbling noise which hng 0f tbe earth. This w I the shock was felt or the no was immediately followed by a violent shakas the first timo noise neard by any of the party. We remained in the valley all night at a farm house, hoping to hear and feel something more from tbe volcano, but the old creature did not groan once. One young man with us, who had eaten too freely at supper, imagined that he felt several shocksduring tbe night, but as no one else had a like experience, it was concluded that his disturbance was of a dyspeptic rather than subteranean nature. The appearance of our party among the mountains excited the curiosity of the mountaineers, who have been greatly terrified for tbe last few weeks by the unusual noises which have been disturbing their midnight el umbers. They gathered around us in great crowds, offering to render us any assistance in their power, and anxious to know from us what would probably bo the result should the volcano conclude to break loose among tbem. Oa Friday we ascended the Stone Mountain and applied the thermometer at convenient places, but failed to detect ANY UNUSUAL HEAT. This mountain is s tu a ted partly in Rutherford and partly in McDowell county,-and from its top a very fine view is afforded ot nearly all the prominent mountain peaks of North Carolina. To give some idea of its relative position, I have marked the courses from it to some of the most noted peaks: Table Rock (Burk county) N. 85' 15' W. urand father Mountain Hlaek Mountain (highest peak).. Hickory Nut Mountain-........, Hugar Loaf Mountain The above is the result of a - 27 ar e. -N. r 4.v w. ,.S. 77 W. ..8. 13 W. careful observatlon with the compass, m de on an immense rock, which rests on the highest point oi me peas. Alter remaining on ine mountain for an hour.and hearing or feeling nothing unnsnal, we descended to tbe base, and proceeded to Hickory Nut Gap, about eight miles distant. As the road to tbe Gap forms nearly a semicircle around the mountain, we. were in sight of it for some hours, but heard only one report, which was followed by a shock similar to the one felt the preceding afternoon, but not quite so- violent. About 3 or 4 o'clock we were overtaken by a reporter of the New York Herald and one from the Raleigh papers. During our stay among the mountains, which was nearly two days and a night, our party heard the noise and felt the shaking only twice. I have read several reports in the New York papers, but they are very much exaggerated. I suppose they were gotten up for sensational purposes. The above are tacts gathered from personal observations and from trustworthy persons who live very sear the Stone Mountain,

INDIANA.- POLIT103. A NOTE FOR GENERAL OOBCRN. (From the Morgan County GaaHte.;

The aanV papers that chronicled the death of Charles P, Hogate, collector of internal revenue for thi? district, contained the appointment of his successor, which causes us to exclaim, In the pathetic language of Rip Van Winkle: "Are we forgotten so soon1 after we are dead?" Fred Baggs, of Indianapolis, is the new appointee. Who is Fred BaggsT He is the cashier of the First Na tional Bank of that city, and is reputed to be worth f 100,000. Baggs is a classical name. It means to seize, capture, or entrap. Right well has the job been done, with the assistance of Gen. (?) Coburn, M.TJ. from this district, who-has hitherto undertaken to bear upon his shoulders tbe cognomen of the "soldiers' friend." Now, let us see how well Johnny is entitled to that appellation. For a number of weeks before Mr. Hogate died, he was a walking skeleton, and bis decease was only a question of time. Right here the political ghouls came in. It was a contest between capital and labor. James M. King, wno had been in the employ or Mr. itogate since tbe otnee which Air. ii. neia was created, was an old soldier, and had honorably discharged his duties. He was competent, in every rwpect, to le the successor of Mr. II., but he was modest ana reserveu, and did not nush his claims. CdTasequeutly brass came in, and General Coburn, true to his natural instinct as a time-server, with the name of Fred Baggs in his pocket, even before C. F. Hogale was dead, appointed Fred Baggs. Mr. King, a poor soldier, was a candidate for tbe same office, and his friends urged his claims, but he had not the ghost of a chance, because tbe presumption of tbe rank and file of tbe country is iniml cal and detrimental to the best interests of tbe Grant administration. And this is what is termed popular government. POINTS OF A CANDIDATE. From the Kolcomo Democrat. We are requested to announce that Mr, Hughes East, of Bloomfield, Ind., will be a candidate before tbe democratic state con vention. next Jul v. for the nomination of treasurer of state. Personally we are entirelv unacquainted with Mr. Fast, never having had the pleasure of meeting him He is quite well known in th's city, and, indeed, has a general acquaintance all ever the state. He is a wealthy stock dealer, and is largely engaged in ag ricultural pursuits. He is said to be very popular with both political par ties where he is known. Many republicans ofthiscitv who know him. will vote for him if nominated. He is a very congenial gentleman, and possesses an abundance of that peculiar magnetism which renders him universally - popular. The following points are urged in his behalf: lie is capable, deserving, a true democrat. is not a politician, is popular with th e masses, and. best areument of all. is a nrentleman of sterling integrity, and is strictly honest. These are the qualifications necessary to secure success in the coming campaign, and if Mr. East possesses them as he is reputed to possess them, he will stand strongly, if not successfully, before tho July convention. DONE FOR (From the Danville Indlanlan.) We well remember Coburn's eulogy on Grant's civil service humbug in 1872, that it was the fairest among ten thousand shams to dupe the people; and altogether a myth; but the people were sadly taken in and done for. Coburn intended to dupe the people; and tbe first chance he got, did it. Tried by tbe rules of civil reform, Mr. James M. King, Mr. Hogate's deputy, who had almost entire control of the collectorship for twelvemonth, should have succeeded the lamented head, because he was best qualified to efficiently discbarge tbe duties of the office, aa a special commission alter examination could have attested. But Coburn understood the sham, and he nominated Baggs and had him confirmed before Mr. Hogate was cold in his grave! COUXTY NOMINATIONS. - Johnson county democrats have gone through the motions of a primary election to nominate candidates for the county offices. There is some comment on the fact that al the candidates except three who could not be taken from Franklin are from that town The Jefifersonian says : We do not intend to make an attack upon the candidates, for sev eral of them we look upon as our personal friends, but we must touch upon facts. In the first place is it not quite significant that the ticket should be about all made up out of those who are known to be inside of what is commonly called the "court house ring," and about all these candidates are men who are in the court house and reside in Franklin. The ticket nominated is the following: Clerk W H. Barnett; auditor K. N. Woolen; trea surer Jno. W. Ragsdale; sheriff Jas. II. Pudney; representative Wm. Snvder; re corder S. A. Wilson; assessor J.C MeClain ; surveyor W. T. Hough, ir.; commissioner 1st district. Warren Cofman; 2nd district, vv. A. cardner. IN THE TRACES. (From the Vlncennes Sun.) Tbe advice tbat we would earnestly and sincerely give to eaoh and all of oar De.no crane inenas is to lay aside all persona prejudices and objections of every kind and vote for the entire Democratic ticket. There is nothing in the circumstances attending the primary election, or in tbe character of the nominees, which justifies the adoption of a disorganizing spirit, which must necessarily exert a very injurious influence upon the future prospects of tbe party in Knox county We have as much reason to be dissatisfied with the result of the primary election as the worst "sorehead" in the county, but we intend to give the ticket nominated by the primary election our unqualified support, and we nree all Democrats and tbe better class of Republicans to do the tame. BIRD IN THE HAND. (From the Vevay Democrat.) Judge Barkshire is in training for the con crressional race. As yet he has given no sisrns of resigning his present office. It is true he ought not to be asked to do so unti he obtains a nomination. But then, you know, a good question, squarely put, wll do no harm and sometimes much good Judge, if nominated as your party's candi date for Congress, will you resign your Dresent office before election, or do you be lieve, "When yon get a good thing, keep it?"

JCLIAN ON TITR pr TINKEItlNO RADICAL DEFECTS IN THE PROPOSED TREATMENT CP PRESENT LAND QUESTIONS TUB INTERESTS OF THE ACTUAL -SETTLKR SACRIFICED TO SPECULATORS AND MONOPOLISTS. In a letter to the Tribune, Mr. Julian says: Allow me to say a word to tbe readers of the Tribune respecting the amended homestead bill which House of Representatives. As a well-con-idertd digest and re-enactment of the best features of the old pre-emption and home stead laws, the measure f. tn ru mended ; but it seems to tue radically defective in two or three particulars to which I invite the attention nt ti,n.A who desire a genuine and thorough reform of our vicious land policy. In the first place, tbe bill, as I understand t. un conditionally repeals the Southern Hometead law of ISM. This was enacts tn va from the clutches of speculators and monopolists over forty-six million acres of surveyed, unsold public lands in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, LoUi9jana Florida, and Arkansas. These lands had finro ItAAn onerea, ana were liable tobe gobbled up " wuu wer Known to Do lying in wait to pounce upon them just as soon as the machinery of the land department should be restored in those states. It was to avert this great mischief and to BavA I hfnn ands for actual homestead settlers onlv that this most timely and beneficial act was Ps3:d. It has been fully vindicated by nine, and nas proved a continuing rock of oi.ense to monopolists, who have for years past oeen seeking us repeal in order that they might buy up in large tracts for speculative purposes the best of tbe lands, and to this extent hinder the development of these land states. Now. the amended bnmtf.i bill, if I comprehend its effect, breaks down the wall which has guarded these lands since tne year im, it is true they will be oren to homestead entry and settlement liae other public lands, but. this right of home stead can be summarilv ant fr at any moment by the speculator through his right of private entrv in large tracts, the land having been offered at uDuc saie, and not having been reserved y congress for anv other purpose. Whv repai iuis act ui isw, w men is thus shown i.u: k ium , . - to have been so necessary to meet the ex ceptional condition of the lands to which it applies? Congress, for eight years past, has refused to do this! Has tbe lobby which now demands it any better ricrht tn Ik heard than heretofore? But aside lrom these SOUTHERN LANDS, and on general principles, the bill fails as a measure of reform. It should have embodied an express provision requiring all lands fit for cultivation to be disposed of according to its terms, and not otherwise. This would have met the general, if not universal, popu lar demand, it would have cut up the evil of land speculation, root and branch. I be lieve congress is ready for such a sweeping measure. More than four vears aso the House of Representatives.by a vote of nearl v two to one. declared that no more of the public lands which are fit for agri culture snail oe disposed of excent to actual settlers, in quantities not exceeding 100 acres to one person. Why not make this tbe law? It was said the other day in tbe debate on this new homestead bill in the House tbat such a provision would not oo, because there are great ouan tines oi me pudiic lands which are ,imnr. atively worthless, and that nothing can be aone witn tnem, except to sell them in large tracts ior pernaps ten cents Der acre. The answer to this is thatsuch lands could be excepted irom the homestead reouiro ment, being fit only lor grazing, Dut mat as io aericuitural lands. tne diu Biiouid ioroiu any disposition except for actual settlement and cultiva tion. The speculator should not be allowed to touch them. It was further argued in defense of the bill that no more lands can be sold to speculators unless the president shall issue his proclamation of nublic sale. and that no euch public sales have been pro claimed for years past, or are likely to be. Thio is bettering the question. We live under a government of law, and not of GRACE OK DISCRETION. Its theory is that our rulers are liable to abuse their power, and need to be hedged about by restrictions and prohibitions. To say that the president, having the legal power to throw the public land into the grasp of speculators and monopolists, as several of his predecessors have done, will not exercise that power, is to say that he is prvf against temptation and beyond tbe reach of lobbies and "rings" of all sorts. I submit tbat no man will say anything so extravagant who has paid any attention to the civil service of the eo verb ment or tbe general course of the administration for the past four or five years. Congress,and congrt s alone, has the power to define and establish the land policy of the country, and its failure to enact the vital provision, I suggest, has shorn the homestead act of l$U2 of onehalf its value. Let the defect be supplied, and the nation's policy on this great question be unmistakably fixed. The bill fails to embody another very important and greatly needed provision. Under recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, settlers on tbe public land under our f preemption laws, are mere tenants-at-will, iable to be turned out of their homes by the government at any time prior to their final payment. They may have resided on their lands for years, and made lasting and vain able improvements in good laitb, and desire to go forward in the performance of all the conditions on which the government has PROMISED THEM A TTTLKJ and yet their improvements may be confiscated in the interest of other persons, who may acquire both land and improvements through its violated faith to the first settler. Of course this ruling must apply to the perfectly analogous case cf settlers nnder the homestead law. In order to right the wrong done by this "Dred Scott decision ot the American pioneer," the new homestead bill should provide - tbat when a person shall seek title under its provisions his bona fida settlement, in all cases, shall be deemed to create a contract between the government and himself, and a vested right of property which shall only be divested by his failure to comply with the conditions of the title prescribed by the law. This would bind the government to maintain its plighted faith, and re-affirm the principle which has been generally, if not invariably, regarded aa law till the decisions referred to were made. The effect of these decision? has been to deprive hundreds of honest settlers of their homes, and these mischiefs will certainly b3 repeated and multiplied if not prevented by law. The amendment I urge has several times passed tbe House, and has had the pledge of tho Hon. D. D. Pratt and other ftrominent men in the Senate to labor for it n that body. In attempting a reform of our land policy why not embody it? I have ventured to invite attention to these amendments because the House bill has yet to be acted upon in the Senate, and they may possibly yet be attached to the bill through the awakened interest in the subject of some member of that body. I make no doubt that the House committee on tbe public lands, and the House itself intended to coyer the points I criticise. I think they

have not done it, and tbat they have thus failed to lay the foundations of our national land policy upon the broad and enduring foundations of justice and the public good.

A story lately got abroad that General Sherman was intending to build a mansion during the summer, upon Orange Mountain, New Jersey. A lightning rod agent wanted a job in hi j line and wrote the generaPfto that effect, to which Tecum seh replied: Washington, D. C, January 20, 1874. "If you find the house I am erectlne on Orange Mountain, please put anv quantity of lightning rods, to attract the lightning of heaven to demolish it. I don't care whether the rods be round, sou are or twisted. Anything to Btop this nonsense. Architects, landscape gardners, builders, etc., keep writing to me about this house, when, in fact, it is as much as I can do to make ends meet here and finally, I expect to content myself with a log home on he prairies of Kansas or Nebraska, when congress turns me out to grass. Tell Mr.. L.yon, -who served with me three years,' that his experience as a soldier should convince him that Uncle Sam is not so generous to old soldiers as to enable them to have fancy houses on Orange Moun tain, or elsewhere. I have a house here. but the city taxes me for it about as much as Uncle Sam allows me for rent. How the story got circulated that I was going to build on Orange Mountain, passes mv un derstanding, and it yon can stop it I will win regard it as a feat better than protect ing me against lightning. i ours, etc., w. T. Sherman." Chaplain Earnshaw, of tbe Dayton Sol diers' Home, cards the Journal of that city to the effect that be had been renorted as saying tbat 200 inmates of the Home had died of intemperance, whereas, he says that ne was misunderstood, and tbat what be did say was, "that 200 had been victims of inA A. . . temperance." öince tne poor iellows are aead, it matters little to tbem what ailment induced their shufiling ofi this mortal coil. only it might appear strange to tbem If they Knew it, mat tne chaplain's liibernianism makes them twice dead!

The older ones "seldom asking the favor." - BRONCHITIS. This Is an Irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tules which carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It arises from a cold settled in the throat.from Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrofulous flection s, and from severe use of the voice, ihe irritation from this latter cause commences in the larynx and glottis, which are the organs of the voice, and, extend ing downward, produces noarseuess. couKblnz, and spitting mucoui matter, sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to spread into tbe lungs, and terminate In consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of tills disease that Dr. Pierce's iolden Medical Discovery has achieved unparalleled success, and won the loudest praise irom an wno nave used it.
