THE HANGING OF THE CRANE. IX) !?G FELLOW'S 3TEW POEM tPendre la cremillere, to hans? the crane, is the French expression for m house warming, or Jte first parly given la a new house.

For two alone, there In the hall, I spread the taole round and small ; Upon the polished silver shiue The evening lamps but more divine The light of love shines over all ; Of love that says not mine and thine But ours, for ours is thine and mine. They want no guests to come between Their tenderglances like a screen. And teli them tales of land and sea. And whatsoever may betide The great forgotten world outside; Tney want no guests: they needs must be Each other's own best company. in. The picture fades; as at a village fair A showman's views dissolve into the air, To reappeir trantlgured on the screen. So In my lancy this; and now onca more In part transfigured, tiroui the opan door Appears the self same scene. Heated I see the two again, But not alone ; they e jtertain A little angel nnaware, With face as round as in the moon ; A royal guest with flaxen hair. Who, throned upon his lofty chair, Drums on the table with his spoon, Then drops it t-areiesson the floor, To grasp at things unseen before. Are these celestial manners? Theso The ways that win, the arts that please? Ah, yes; consider well the guest. And whatsoever he does seems best ; He ruleth by the right divine Of helplessness, so lately born In purple chambers of the morn. As sovereign over thee and thine. He speakein not, and yet there lies A conversation in hi eyes; Trie g ldn silence of the Greek, Toe gravest wisdom of the wise. Not spoke l in language, but in looks More legible than priuted books, As if he could but would not speak. And now, O monarch absolute. Thy power is put to proof; torlo! lies: less, fathomless aud slow. The nurse comes rustling like the sea, And pushes back thy chair and thee. And so goo J-night to King Canute. IV.

All covered and embowered in curls, K jse tinted from the Isle of Flowers, And sailing with soft silken sails From far off Dreamland into ours. Above their bowls with rim of blue Four azure eyes of deeper hue Are looking, dreamy with delight; Limpid as planets that emerge Above the ocean's rounded verge, Boft shining through thesumnier night. Kteadfast they gaze, yet nothing see Beyond the horizonof their bowls; Nor care they for the world that rolls? With U its freight of troubled souls Into the days that are to be. ' V.

. WILD STEERS Itf BROADWAY. JUS, WOMEN ASD CHILDREN TRODDEN UNDER FOOT AN INFURIATED FLOCK OF STEERS PRODUCE WIDESPREAD "TERKOR OJT TS5 STREETS BARRICADES ERECTED.

The. New York Sun of the 5lh inst. contalcs the following account of a strange scene on Broadway caused by the presence of a loose drove ot wild Texan cattle: Light sturdy Texan steers, that had -been brought to the city in an Erie ferry boat, maddened by starvation and thirst, wnen isuotu Chambers street, at about 8 o'clock last nvpnincr. becamn uncontrollable. Elud ing their drovrs, and lrcnziea ny me whoops and yells of hoodlums, and skrieks of terrified men, women and children, who, returning irom pleasure jaunts in me country, thronged the neighlorhood ot the ferry house. th steer, with blazing eyes, foatuinc mouths, tontine their horns threateningly and lasmng tnemseivea uu their tails, tore tip Chambers street toward West Broadway .John Harri, a schoolboy, of 472 Pearl street, was caught up by the first of the animals and burled headlong from the street, which he had been endavorins to cros to the sidewalk. The child was lifed tenderly and borno to the Park Hospital. The exclamation of friehteued women filled theair, and children cried in terror. A feeble old woman, Ann Gallagher, of Elm and Worth streets, was run over by the furious drove, and, as she lay uudr their cruel hoofs, all who were near were transfixed with horror. She also was taken to the Park Hospital. Next fell August Allbricbt, a strong youth, ot 20 Chrvstie street, whose abdomen bad been pierced by the sharp bores ot the ster.. He was taken bleeding to the Park Hospital. Officers appeared and about a dozen other policemen bavins massed themselves at Chambers street and West Broadway, by brandishing their clubs and discharging their revolvers as fast as nossible turned tne cours9 of the steers. They stood at bay, with larid eyes and heavine sides, and broad chests whit ened with foam. Meanwhile the hot fire of the policemen nonred into their midst. Fifteen officers of the Leonard street police, nnder CaDt. Pettv. formed a barrier of wagons at Hudson river and West Broadway. From behind this miniature fortress they sent A 1IAIL STORM OF BULLETS into the disordered squadron of the horned enemy, who seemed marvellously impervi ous. Meanwhile the terrified inhabitants of the neighborhood aud ot .other parts of the city who had been drawn toward this sin gular battle field by the mysterious lascina tion that horrible things always exert, fled in dreadful confusion, leaving the police without support. But ere the stam pede had resulted in the complete clearance of the streets that cross West Broadway, j Dennis Driscoll, aged eight, received a stray ballet in his wrist. A hie of the reserve of the Leonard street police went on the quicks'epdown West Broadway, and finding a great pile of empty packing boxes, part of them began to throw up a redoubt, while the remainder sent volley after volley into tho bellowing and stamping group of Steers. Tbey headed towards Chambers street, but a determined discharge of revolv vers lu tho bands or tne r ranklin street po lice, commanded by capt. Kennedy and ser geant Douglas, turned them, not, however, until they had roughly used Sergeant Douglas and Olficcr Meigham. Unrntermitiiugly the ureadml rain ot leaden missiles fell upou them, and goaded beyond endurance they rushed in a body toward the Keade street tori ification. The officers manning it deported themselves like heroes, but noth ing save a stone wall could have withstood tho slashing charge of that hoofed band. They leaped over the boxes as though they were ant bills, and frantically galloped up toward Broad way, spreading terror on every side. Roundsman llyau sprang into the street and whirled his baton wildly. All who saw him and there were many in Broadway and in tho well lighted park shouted to him to desist from his foolhardiness; but ere their warnings reached him be was over thrown and trodden upon. Irving Grace, an orderly of the Park Hospital, about the same time came in the way ot the s ears, was thrown to the ground, and his arm and thigh were fractured. One of the steers leaped the iron chain that bounds the west em side of the City 11 all and SPED TOWARD THE FOUNTAIN. lie drank in largo draughts, and gradually tho glare went out of his eyes, the tension from his mu-cles.

Ferocity was once more uppermost iu its mien, and head down it charged upon its preserving assailants. Everything human gave way at his approach, and he darted down Chambers street toward the North river. The rest of the frantic band kept on unchecked, and turning Chatham street rushed toward the upper part ot the city. At Pearl strert Eugene O'JIara, of ATZ Pearl street, was knocked down. In almost every block men and women were swept down. Capt. Clinchy, supported by Sergeants Buckley, Polhemus, Porcher, aud the entire reserve of the Mulberry street station endeavored to stay the terrible beasts. Sergeant Buckley, Roundsman Stewart, and Otlicers Adams, Floy, Keenan, Mitchell, Wavne, and Brush were conspicuous for their courage. A broad shouldered and heavy-bearded German, dad in the uniform of the ' fifth regiment, sprang into the middle of the street and singled out one of the steers for mortal combat, lie advanced, sword iu hand, toward the astounded animal, that, with erected head aud distended nostrils, glared at him. The soldier Stepped lorward to within a sword's length, and plunged his weapon into th sieer'a breast. The animal sprang toward him, blood streeming from the deep wound; but tli9 soldier warilv leaped aside, and as the animal passed birn buried the sword iu its side. A vital part seemingly had been reached, 'lor the steer fell heavily on its side, dead. The police formed a circle about the carcass and emptied their revolvers into it, and bystanders backed it with knives. Into Bayard street tho destructive steers turned, the police pursuing them closely. In this tortuous and crowded lauo their progress was attended by the most ALARMING CONSEQUENCES. Men, women and children wer-3 scattered right and left. At Elizabeth street Ofiictr Hanly was butted down byene of the steers, and his knee was bruised. He sat rip on the spot where he fell, plucked his revolver from bis pocket and killed the animal in its track. At Canal street and Cortland t alley, Emmanuel Droeyer, of 110 Division street, was overthrown and severely wounded internally. Three of the frightful creatures were diverted into Canal street, while tho fourth went uothe Bowery. Those that were frightened into Canal Btrert, inclined southward when they arrived at Hudson street. Down this street they coursed, rendered fleet a3 bloodhounds by the yells ot their pursuers. At Walker street one cf them wa hcminca in and fixed

at furiously. Officer O'Reilly, of the Leon-

ara street ponce, unaware oi ma m, alighted from car at this crisis and was caught upon the cornered animal's horns and whirled into the air. Bullets pierced the steer's bide, but he was not to be driven from his prey. Officer O'Reilly, t.

HER INDEPENDENCE OF CHARACTER ILLUS TRATEDA SOCIAL SECRET COMES TO LIGHT A FLATTERING TOKEN OF APPRECIATION FROM TRINCE ARTHUR. The Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial in writing of the FitchSherman wedding, gives the following bit of personal history connected with the new bride: Miss Sherman has been a great favorite in society, and always greatly beloved by those whom she admitted to an intimate friendship. Naturally of a dignified disposition, many thongbt her reserve the result of haughtiness. Mais au contraire, there was never a girl in Washington's gay world less in Hue need or afflicted with pride than she. Iler independence of character was strongly marked, and we cannot better illustrate what we mean than by relating this anecdote. When princo Arthur was in this city, he was, ot course, much lionized and very elegant' entertained. Ju3t previous to his departure Sir Edward and Lady Thornton issued cards of invitation for a magnificent ball to be given at Masonic Temple. The most elaborate preparations were made to insure its success. Artists were f r days engaged in decorating the room; flags from the war department and navy yard were supplied in abundance; the caterer spent his time be tween here and New York; our modistes worked day and night, and sent from their shop-rooms superb creations in lustrous velvet and sheeny (ilk to be worn on the night. Lady Thornton was beseiged lor cards, not only by people of distinction in town, but New York and Philadelphia added their voices to the clamor. Rumor ran rife as to the ladies with whom he would dance. As in the story of Cinderella, the heart of each republican princess was elated by the hope that she would be honored with bis hand. It was announced a few days before the ball that Lady Thornton had prepared a list ot names from which partners for the dance would be selected; It soon became known that one or two of our leading society girls were in the confidence of Lady Thornton, but were pledged to secrecy. We cau't take time to tell of the efforts made to find out from them what thev knew; their firm ness in refusing to give up their secret alien ated friends, made enemies, and was produc tive of tne most dire results. The night came; the most fashionable crowd gathered; the ball was opened by Lady Thornton and the prince. When the notes ot the first valse sounded Prince Arthur advanced to where Miss Sherman was friends, and asked standing, with some THE PLEASURE OF HER HAND. Looking at him for a moment, she replied, slightly inclining hei head: "I thank you. but my church does not permit me to do the round dances." Tie prince made some pleasant remark, and took his place at her side, where he remained until Lea Lanciers were called, when he took Miss Sherman aud the bead of the set. The effect can be better imagined than described. Belles whose neads would have been turned by the invitation thought her insane, and her refusal was soon the topic of ball room conversation. The prince was a frequent visitor at the house ot the general, and immediately upon bis return to England sent a complimentary letter, with an Etruscan gold locket, ornamented with turquoise diamonds on one side, his photograph on the other, with these words: "To the young lady whom of all others I admire most." But how we linger over the past forgetting that you, dear Cincinnati reader, are fretting with impatience to reach the kernel of the nut. In the spring following a winter of great dissipation, during a visit to Fort Leavenworth, Miss Sherman received severe injuries while riding, which produced so delicate a state of health as to occasion serious alarm among her family and friends. A trip to Europe was undertaken with a pleasant party of friend and relatives, and an entire cure eflected. En route for home a visit of a lew daj-s was mado at London, where, at the Crystal Palace, she met her fate in the shape of Lieutenant Fitch, U. S. N who is a man of line presence, with stalwart, broad shoulders, trank, honest ej-eSj good nose, full brown beard, and a crowning of dark hair. He hai a most creditable record as an officer, is greatly beloved by bis shipmates, is a Catholic, and the match is one in every way agreeable to the family. Leaving Londou several days before Miss Sherman, he waited in New York with eager impatience the arrival of the steamer that was bringing what had grown so dear to him. After her arrival he accompanied the family to Washington and immediately upon his arrival asked the brave soldier for permission to try to win his daughter. How successfully his trial was made to-day told us. MARRIAGE AND MURDER. STABUINO AFFRAY AT A WEDDING FATAL RESULT. The New Orleans Times tells how cyhress leaves were intermingled with orange blossoms: Oa the 1st of October tho wedding of Mr.' Modes?. Steib and Miss Marie Reulett took place Et Vacherie, St. James Parish. There was a largo wedding party, and everything went cfl smoothly until about 7 o'cock in the evenini, when two of the guest-, Doselim Thibodeau and Ruphin Simeon, became engaged in a difficulty which ended in ThiboJyau being stabbed in the heart and almost iustantly killed by Simeon. By a correspondent who sends us tho ne ws of' this tradedy we are informed that Thibodeau was pretty heavy under the inliuence of liquor, when he became quarrelsome, and after annoying a good many of those present at the wedding, went for Simeon, who tried to avoid a difficulty, but was thrown by Thibodeau, who lell on top of him. Those who saw this little affair saw no barm in it, thinning that it was merely skylarking. But soon Thibodeau commenced using his lists on Simeon, who asked lor pardon repeatedly, without his antagonist stopping a moment in the beating which he was inllinting. All at once Thibodeau, however, fell back, cryiug out "I am stabbod!" pressing his hand on his left breast, from which the blood flowed rather fast. Siaieon, it seems, fearing lor his life, pulled oat a pocket knit'a and slabbed Thibodeau in the left breast, striking the heart. Thibodeau expired almost instantly. Terror stricken by this unexpected drama, those who witnessed it were unable to detain Simeon, who, after getting rid of his opponent, at once fled to parts unknown, and has not since been heard of. -1 i It is stated that, owing to the alarming increase ot brigandage in Sicily, trial byjury will bo suspended,

SUIT FOR THREE MILLIONS. THE MILWAUKEE 6T. PAl'L RAILROAD COMPANY IN COURT A SUIT INVOLVING) IM PORTANT DECISIONS. The New York Herald gives the follow ing tacts connected with an impending rail road suit in Wisconsin: A petition was yes terday filed in the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, on the part of Aaron S. Bright, prayiug lor an injunction against tbo Milwaukeo & St. Paul Rail road Company, preventing them from issu ing or vending on the market any part ot S33.000.000 of mortgage bonds which the said company are now endeavoring to negotiate as a consolidated mortgage on all tho lines of road controlled by said companj'. The petitioner, Bright, represents the holders of a third mortgage upon the La Crosse &. Milwaukee lUilroad Company, whose railroad has come to be in possession of the Milwaukee fc St. Paul Company. The petitioners claim that they are entitled to redeem the property of the La Crosse it Milwaukee Railroad Company, an offer ot which they have made. They also claim that the plaintiffs in the suit came into possession of the property of the petitioners, being about 200 miles of road, and that they, as trustees for the petitioners, have received the rents, profits and earnings of said property, and are bound to account for the same and apply the same to the discharge of the mortgages prior to said third mortgage. The petitioner claims that be hold3 ?1,000,000 of said mortgage bonds, and that all other holders can come in and unite with him; and the petitioner further claims that said rent and income will nearly, it not quite, discharge all the liens upon said property prior to that lien held by petitioner. Petitioner further states that he is advised and so charges tho fact lo bo that the complainant as a eorporation is now about putting on the market a general and consulidoted loan of $:,C00,000, secured by a mortgage on the whale of the several railroads which constitute its corporate property, and which is intended to include the said LaCrosso tt Milwaukee railroad, thereforo casting a further and oppressive burden upon the rights of this petitioner and others as such third mortgage bondholders, and upou the equity of redemption vested in them as such. That petitioner is now proceeding before this honorable court uron his said cross bill filed In this cause, as also by proper judicial proc6edidgs in the courts of Wisconsin, to enforce an accounting with the complainant or its corporators, and upon such accouting ne is reaay ana nas tenaereu to pay any "JUST AND LAWFUL DEBT or amount still unpaid and due on the judgments, mortgages and liens prior to said third rnortgago bonds, if any there be; and otherwise to abide and perform the decree of this honorable court. But petitioner states that if complainant is permitted, as he is advised is beiug done, to vend and sell in the markets of the United States and of Europe tho said $30,000,000 of bonds or any part thereof in such manner as to become a charge upon tho said LaCrosse & Milwaukee railroad, its franchise and property, that it will cast upon the petitioners and others the necessity of litigating and contesting with the holders and purchasers of said 3.",U00,000 of bons and thereby Irrparablv injuring the petitioner by obstructing, hindering and delaying his exercising his right and equity or redemption of the said LaCrOäso & Milwaukee Railroad, its franchise and property, which he is now seeking to do and will do the moment he can secure a E roper accounting, as prayed for in his cross ill filed in this case aforesaid. That the said ?35.000,000 of bonds about being issued by the complaintant as a body corporate are in no respect essential to or for the benefit of the said LaCrosso & Milwaukee railroad, but are for the benefit of complainant and its corporators, who are seeking to burden the said LaCrosse & Milwaukee railroad for their own benefit, to the great and permanent injury of the right of this petitioner. Wherefore the premises considered, and as the petitioner hasnoadequato redress save through tho interposition of this honorable court, tho petitioner prays that an order may be issued requiring tho complainant, as a body corporate, and its otlicers, agents and servants, to appoar at a day named therein and show cause why they shall not be enjoined from further issuing, vending or selling Bald 35,000,000 of bonds . or any part thereof, or doing any other act or thing that may injure or impair the right' of this petitioner pending the accounting prayed in his said cross bill filed in this cause, or which may encumber tho equity cf redemption cf

the petitioner as by him being asserted as stated; and petitioner pravs that upon sach hearing a perpetual injunction may be granted and that petitioner may have such other and further order and relief as may be deemed just and equitable in the premises. THE CINCINNATI HORROR, FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS A LIFE OF DISSIPATION AND PROFLIGACY AND ITS RESULT THE TRUE CAUSES OF THE UNNATURAL CRIMES. The Cincinnati Commercial of the 2nd inst., contains further developments in the strange crime already mentioned In that city. It says: The heart of the Ninth-street murder mystery was not plucked out at the coroner's inquest over the slau ghtered innocent, nor will it be in all probability until the case shall be investigated in the courts. Furtherdevelopments shroud it in the darkl ness ct a husband's infidelity and a long-sui-fering woman's deep despair. It is unpleasant to probe the domestic secrets of households and reyeal them to the public, but it is essential that it should be done in this case, in order lo show, if possible, the real cause of this horrible butchery. It is definitely known that Mr. Perkins was not true to his wife. It is known that on her'leaving the city on a protracted visit in the summer or fall of 1873, he engaged a suite of rooms on the third floor of the building at the southeast corner of Fourth and Central avenue, then occupied by C. B. Evans it Co., the marble mantel manufacturers, the Atlantic and Great Western railroad general freight office and several other parties. The rooms were handsomely furnished, and contained among other attractive features, a sideboard furnished forth with an abundance of all kinds of liquors. Part of the furniture and one of the beds (for.there were two of them) were put in by a friend of Mr. Perkins, and it was thought he would room there also. But it was a "blind "of some sort; the friend seldom showed himself about the place, unless it was to help Perkins out of his numerous scrapes. Shortly after Perkins had taken up his quarters there, the gentleman who had charge of the building received intimations that loose women were going to the reoms, and as he roomed there himself devoted some little attention to that part ot the house. He saw nothing of an unsatisfactory nature, however, until one night in the month of September, when a well dressed and comely young woman came to his door and demanded that Perkins' door be broken in, giving as a reason that she was Perkins wife, and he had a WOMAN IN THE ROOM with him. She said that she had heard that Perkins had pone out to the Millcreek House in a haek with Belle Boyd, the keeper of a house of prostitution on Third street; that she had followed him out there, and arrived just a few minutes after the couple had started back to town. She was highly excited and smelt strongly of beer. She said her mother was down stairs, and they were determined to stay until they got Perkins out if it took all night. The gentleman in charge refused the privilege of breaking

in tho door, but the woman making great to-do about the troubles she said Perkins had heaped upon her, and her determination to stay at the door until Perkins came out, he gave her an easy chair at reiKUiS uoor ana returned to his own apartment. This led Mr. to mention the subject to a young friend of Mr. Perkins, who had a good laugh over it. He said the woman's uam9 was Payne, and that she and her mother lived in Covington. He had picked her up and kept her himself a while about a year before, but had tired of her and introduced her to Perkins, in order to get rid ol her. Perkins had taken her up eagerly, and had kept her ever since, but was anxious now to get her off his hands. Perkins then called in his friend his partner, in fact to assist him out or the Bcrape he found himself in; and one night, when Miss Payne was at her tantrums again, the partnercalled in officers Bo illean and Fox to arrest ber. Perkins was not williDgto have her rrrested, however, and finally allowed himself to be coaxed away by her, notwithstanding the partner's indignation at such a proceeding. When the fond couple had disappeared the partner explained matters to the policemen. Alter Mrs. Perkins' return to the city, it seems the resolute mistress, refusing to be cast off, "ratted" the unfaithful husband every opportunity she got, and finally hunt ing mm up at nome, acquainted idrs. Perkins with the whole story of her husband's inconstancy, if, indeed, she had not heard it long before. Those who know the family, and are familiar with the facts, are settled in the conyiction that Perkins' shocking inficelity was V s principal, it not the onlv cause of the Tuesday night quarrel, and to his door they lay the tragic and untimelv taking oifof his little child. Tbey ! have little faith in the story that Mr. Claro was the cause of the difficulty. That gen tleman always stopped at Perkin's house when ho came to the city, was almost like one of the fainilv, and "Perkins, so far as known, has uever before breathed a PUSpieion against his wife's chastity with him or any other man. Tbey are firm in the be lief that it was the husband s gross im mo ralities, and the heart-searingivisits of his brazen concubine, that drovo her to des peration, that so preyed upon and diseased her mind that she could deliberately take the lire of her offspring and attempt her own destruction. A WISE MAN OF THE EAST. SHANKAR PANPUR ANO PANDIT A LEARNED HINDOO'S DEBCT AMONG ENGLISH SCHOLARS. Moncure D. Conway's London letter to the Cincinnati Commercial describes one of the notables at the Oriental Congress: But I may promise that ot one who was alto gether the most notable figure of the congress not even excepting the patri archs of Syria namely: Shankar Pandurang Pandit, I shall be able to give a sketch at some future time. This gentle man and magistrate, whose reputation as a writer on abstruse problems of any oriental language and history has preceded Lirn by some years in Europe, was sent over by the Indian government of Lord Northbok, as a delegate to the London Congress. No one could have imagined that ha was a man not yet 30 years of age; nor could any one have imagined that his genius was lodged in noble a form and physiognomy. I do not hesitate to say that Shankar Pandit is the most beautiful person, to bo at the same time manly and intellectual, than I have ever seen. His first appearance in the Congress was a scene. It was as if a biid of paradise had alighted suddenly in Hyde Park. It was on th6vening of the first day be had ever set foot on English soil; he came in his Marati costume a long, dark robe, and a flowing, rose-colored head-dress, with golden fringe; he responded to his welcome in pure, clear English, and a voice like gentle music His soft eyes, his sensitive and refined mouth, his quiet simplicity, joined to his clear thought, made an impres-' siou which no one present can ever forget, and the driest philological reclue present was kindled to enthusiasm, and, in fact, it must be confessed that the Syrian Patriarch, notwithstanding that he appeared to bo a whole congress in himself, qulto vanished as a lion. The poor patriarch could not epeak a word ol English, nor understand a word ol tho three languages with which the congress was conducted, and so he went off to be dined by our bishops. But, as I have said, I shall have more to say about the extraordinary Hindoo. He read j a learned paper on tho authorship of certain Sanskrit poem?,, but it has by no means sat- j Jsfied the.; interest, hip .pfreseneo .has excited,; and arrangements are now being made to afford us before hi3 return to his magisterial duties, the opportunity ot hearing from him ca mere general subject?.

YEAR'S AFTER. TArgosy. I never loved him ; for awhile We two were passing friend; and yet 1 ai? 10 frlze he slow, sad smile Which touched his features when we met. HJ fdsor greeting, light and brief. The clasp his fingers left on mine. And saw, with vague, unspoken grief. The signs which marked his lie's decline. And when, awaiting certain doom, He lay at last, serene and calm, I orten nought his lonesome roni. With tlo were and words of friendly balm ; And when I bathed his acblngbrow. Or read, or talked-stllt, all the while, im earnest eyes they haunt me now Repaid me with that slow, sad smile. At last, one day, when gathering sbaOes Made t he sprint landscape chill and drear, He said. "Dear rriend, the sunshine fades; To-morrow I sUail not be here. Ad Then -T? come' ya not see This tremolin hand, this tMnninz face. So you were always kind to me Grant me. I pray, one gift of grace. "l ean not reach you where yon sind. Come closer, while I say good-bye, ay, closer let me hold your hand, And kiss you once bafore 1 die." Ah, why that sudden storm of te rs? I did not love him wherefore then Vould I have given all my yers To bring him back tj life again? And when, next morn, beside the door, I waited in the soft May ram. They told me he had gone before, And I had culled :uy fljwers In vain. Ah, why, when ha! fa score of years -cros his low, green grave have moved Do I bedew with bitter tears The grave of one I never loved? We were but casual friends, at best ; A word, a smile, and all waj said ; I stood not near hs heart, nor guessed That I should grieve if he were dead. And yet. If on the earth there be One soul that holds me half so dear As his last blessing Is to me, Or his sad memory, year by year. It will be all I ask or crave. To smooth my bed or bless my sleep. Even though the whisper haunt my grave, "I did not love her where.ore weep?"

A BATTLE OF BISHOPS. THE CHURCH CONGRESS AT NEW YORK BISHOP POTTER SETS HIS FACE AGAINST IT THE HIGH CHURCH AND THE LOW. On the morning of the day on which the Episcopal congress met the Sun thus surveyed the scene: The Episcopal Chuich Congress, which will organize this afternoon, has been convened in opposition to the wishes of Bishop Potter and many other ecclesiastical dignitaries who have refused to attend, is a body hitherto unknown in America. One of the reasons given by the venerable bishop of this diocese for not sanctioning the convention was that the time for which it was called was injudiciously chosen, as its latter session would encroach upon the sittings of the triennial general convention, which will commence its labors to-morrow, and as many speakers and ollicers of the congress are also members of the convention, much confusion and unnecessary delay must be caused. Tlio general committee of tfce Episcopal Chuich Council, however, have so arranged their sessions that they will not conflict with the sittings of the convention. Amn;; the rules laid down lor tbo government of the congress at this and all its subsequent meetings was one in effect that the bishop of the diocese in which the conference should take place, should be invited to preside. The invitation was tendered to Bishop Potter, and as he declined, the llev. Dr. Alexander II. Vinton, of Massachusetts, will take the chair. Among the most distinguished ot the vice-presidents are the bishops of Central New ork, Niobrara, and Rhode Island, the assistant bishop of Virginia, Chief Justice Waite, United States Supreme Court, ex-Gov. J. TV. Stevenson, of New York. Judge II. W. ShefTey, of Virginia, Judge K. P. Spaldi' g, of Ohio; Judge James Emmet, of New York, and the Key. Alexander II. Vinton, who will preside. Among the general committee are the bishops of Bhode Island, Connecticut, and Minnesota. In his letter declining to preside over their deliberations Bishop Potter calls the members of the congress " a crowd of excited and declamatory spirits," and adds his as surance that a large body of candid acd conservative Episcopalian clergymen will re pudiate their action. Bishop Coxe, of Western New York, one of the most determined opponents of the congress, calls the movement a " lobby" organized to intiuenca the action of the general convention. Such strong expressions of opinion, coming from such prominent sources, have, as might have been expected, aroust-d a lseling of some bitterness amoi-.g the low churchinen throughout the count rv, and many of the members cf the general convention being also supporters of me cuurcn congre?, u js more than propable that Bishon Coxe's assertion that ihe meeting of the latter is intended to inliuence the movements of the former may be verified. The Episcopal General Convention will " opon in St, John's Church to-morrow morning. The chiei danger which threatens it is a clash between ritualism and radicalism. For some time past the Low Church adherents have been protesting against the growing tendencies of the High Church party, which, during the pa9t twenty-five years, has been steadily moving in the'direction of the Church of Rome. This movement, they say, has not enly detracted from the. dignitv Ot the Episcopal Church, but has bred and fostered superstition of tho worst kind. The differences of opinion existing between the High and Low Church parties center most decidedly, pcrhap?,upon the prayer book: numerous alterations have been suggested from time to timo by one party or the other, and as often rejected by their opponents, some of th adherents of tho Low Church have proposed that the gradual moving away of "th9 ritualists from the established pratk-es of Episcopaüauism should be checkec by fresh legislation, but this would have been so entirely contrary to all the rules cud usages of tho church that the great majority declined to entertain the proposition. It was also proposed to allow eaeii bishop to deal with tho ritual In Lis own diocese as sesraed bast to him, bit this dil nt meet with anything like general favor, as it would not only conler a dangerous aud unprecedented power upon tho bishops, but probably cause even wider and more alarming divisions iu the church than have yet occurred. It seems that Mont Blanc is no longer to be regarded as the monarch of European mountains. There Rro strong if not con clusive reasons for believing thai the highest reak in Europe is rtally .ount Elburz or, Elbruz, in the Caucu. As to its superiority in height over Mount Itlanc there is no question whatever, but doubt has been expressed as to its being within tho limits of Europe. This would appear to bo set at rest, however, by tki fact that Mount Elburz is on the northern or E iropean side of the Caucasian watershed4 while the summit of the Caucasus is almost universally recognized by geographers as the boundary line between turope and Asia.
