HAZEL BLOSSOMS. J. d.

' The grass U browning on the hills; No pale, belated flowers recall The antral fringes of the rills. And drearily the dead vines fall. Front-blackened, from the roadside wall. Yet, through the gray and somber woods. Against the das: of fir and pine; Last of their floral sisterhood, The hazel's yellow blossoms shine, . The tawny gold of Afric's miae! Small beauty hath my traf nng flower.. For sprng to own or summer hail ; Bat in the season's adelest hoar. To kies that weep and winds that wail. Its glad surprlsals never fail . O days grown cold ! O life grown old! No roue of June may bloom acptio ; nt, like the hazel's twisted gold. Through early frost and later rain hall hinU of summer time remain. And as within the tazel's bough A gift of mystic virtue d wells, That points to golden ore below, And in dry desert places tell Where flow unseen the cool, sweet swells Ho, in the wise Diviner's hand, lie mine the hazel's grateful part To feel, beneath a thirsty land, The living waters thrill and start, The beating of the rivulet's heart. tsufftreth nie the gift to light. With latest bloom thedark.coM days-; To eall some hidden spring to sight. That, in these dry and dusty ways, h'hall siug its pleasant song of praiv. OLove! thehazel wand may fall, But that canst lend the surer spell, That, passing over Baca's vale, Jleheats the old line miracle. And makes the Ue-sert laud a well.

gentleman in this city showed us an ear of corn yesterday which partakes strongly, in appearance at least, of the hybrid character described in this paragraph. The grains were shaped somewhat like grains of rioe, but were thicker, and were of almost the exact color of rice. The Reed from which this ear was raised bore a much closer resemblance to rice than the grain on this ear did. The seed formerly came from South Carolina. It appears very probable to us that it is a hybrid, and that it will develop more of the nature of corn and less of rice each year

that it is cultivated remotely lrom the rice field. Macon Telegraph and Messenger... . !; A SLEEPING CAR ON FIRE. A PALACE SLEEPING CAB ON THB GEORGIA ; RAILROAD IN FLAKES THE RAILROAD ' PRESIDENT NARROWLY ESCAPES OME IN CTDEJTTS. . The Atlanta Herald of the 5th Inst, contains the following account of a strange railroad accident in tha state: It was reported early yesterday morning, in the city, that the sleeping car on the up passenger train had been burned ' near Stone mountain. The rumors thickened as the day grew apace, one of them relating that Judge John King, president or the Georgia road, was in the car, with about ?3,000 in money and f 25.000 in Nutting bonds; that it was known that be was on board with that amount of money; that the car was set on fire, and that, while it was blazing and everything in contusion, a man seized Judge King's valiso and escaped with it, and with the treasure it contaiued. The arrival of the train with the passengers gave fuller particulars, though many of the sleepingcar people were not in proper apparel to be interviewed, having only a garment apiece left. The best account that we could get is from Mr. E. K. Jones, a stove merchant of Athens and Augusta, who was on the car just ahead of the sleeper. He says that about daybreak he had just walked across the car to get a drink of water, and had retired to bis seat and settled down for a nap, when a lady, partly en dishabille, came rushing into the car, screaming at the ton of her voice. The train is on lire." .He jumped up and turned to the lady. She was intensely frihtenea, ana couia explain nothing. Glancing through the rear of the car, he saw that the sleeping car was really in a blaze. He awoke Iii fellow passengers, Mr. T. B. Lucas and Ferdinand Pbinizy, ot Athens, and started back to the fire. By this time. Dr. Young, of Athens, discovering that the bell rope between the sleeper and tho rest of the train was burned in two, seized the end ot it, commenced ringing vigorously, and crying manfully but ineffectually, "Stop, stop, stop the engine!" Conductor F.d. Purcell, who was in the sniokmg car, just here entered the car at one end, while Garrett, conductor of the sleeping car, with nothing on but his vest and drawers, and Mr. Matt. O'Brien, clad airily in one pair of pants; camo rushine in at the other, bearing a rescued passenger between them. Tcese three men devoted themselves heroically to the work, plunging INTO TITE r.LAZIXU WRECK, and bringing out each time a passenger. At length they emerged from the smoke and turmoil, bearing in their arms a pale and helpless eM man, which turned out to be President John P. King. They had taken hen from his berth, he being unable, from excitement or from debility, to move. His clothes were all burned up. When brought to the car, he was so weak that he could not li:: his hand. He seemed perfectly dazed by tuo occurrence, ana was evidently wan umring m his nnnu. He said leebly, after tLey had laid him down. "Vtbere is the slsejpirg-car? " ' .. . "It h burnt up, judge," replied a by fitander. --o, no, no,' ne repiicu in an unmean iag way and shaking his head dissentingly "Where is my valise?" ho asked anx iouslv. ' "It is burned up." "o, no, noi it can't be. Get me mv vanse." Mr. 1-erdinand Phinizy, one of the directors of the road, and known intimately to Judge King for years and years, at this juncture stood squarely in front of Mr, Kins, and said, "Judge, don't you know me?" "I can't say that I do," he replied slowly and doubtfully. "Where is my valise?" Mr. i. B. Lucas just here proffered Judee King a suit or ciotnes which he had In his value. Mr. Jving being able to neither decline nor accept, they were put upon hirr bv A. I A 1 5 f m mm . tue genuemen arouna mm. au tne pas sengers were saved wuhout Injury. After the tram had started again a vouncr ladv wun two cniioren, auoi wnom had barely escaped from the sleeper, inquired for her brother, whom she bad not seen sinca the train started. . It was discovered that he was not on the train. It is certain that no one was Killed or burned. Mr. Purcell says that be v. as in the smoking car when he first heard the alarm. He immediately pulled the bell and then ran back to the sleeper, lie rushed into the car and brought out Judge King.

NIGHTFALL: A PICTURE.

ALFRED B. STREET. Atlantic for August. Low barns the mmmer afternoon ; A mellow lustre lights the scene; And from its smlliDg beaatv soon The purpling bade will chase the sheen. The old quaint homestead's windows blaze; The cedars long, black pictures show ; And broadly slopes one path of rsys . Within the barn, and makes it glow. . The loft stares out the cat Intent, Like carving, on some gnawing rat With sun-bathed hay and rafters bent. ' .Nooketi, oobwebbetl homes of wasp and bat. The harness, bridle, 6addle dart Oleams from the lower, rough expanse: ' At either side the BtoopiD cart. Pitchfork, and plow cast looks askance. White Dobbin through the stable doors ' Bhows bis round shape; faint colors coats The manger, where the farmer pours, With rustling rash, the glancing oats. A n haze streaks the dusky shed ; Makes spears of seams and gems of chinks; In mottled gloss the straw Is spread ; And the gray grindstone dully blinks. The sun salutes the lower west With gorgeous tinti around it dawn; A beacon on the mountain's breast, , A crescent, shred, a star and gone. The landscape now prepares for night ; A gaozy inist slow setties ronnd ; Eve fehowa her hues in every Kight, And blends her voice with every sound. The sheep stream rippling down the dell. Their smooth, sharp laces pointed Flraight; The pacing kine, with tinkling bell, Come grazing through the pasture gate. The ducks are grouped, and talk lu fits; . One yawns with stretch of leg and wing; One rears and fans, theo, settling sits; One at a moth makes awaward spring. The seese march grave in Indian file. The ragged patriarch at the head; Then, screaming, flutter off awhile Fold up, and once more stately tread. llrave chmtlcleer shows hauhgtiest air; Hurls his thrill vaunt with lofty bend ; Lifts foot, glares round, then follows where - His scratching, picking parllets wend. Staid Towser scents the glittering ground ; men, yawning, draws a crescent, deep. Wheels his dead-drooping frame arouud And sinks witn lore-paws stretched for s.evp. The oxen, loosened from the plow, liest by the near tree's crooked trunk:. Tim, standing with yoke-burdened biow, Trim, in a mound beside mm sunk.

Freed Dobbin through the soft, clear dark Glimmers across the plllard scene. With the grouped geese a pallid mark And scattered bushes black between. The fire-flies freckle every spot With tickle light that glennis and dies; Ths bat, a wavering, soundless blot, The cat, a pair of prowling eyes. Still the sweet, fragrant dark o'erflows The deepening fcir and darkening ground ; By its rich teem I trace the rose, a he viewless beetle by its sound, The cricket scrapes its rib-like bars; The tree toad purrs in whirring tone; And now the heavens are aet with stars, And nigut and quiet reign alone.

The affair was admirably managed in every respect, not a de tail of the most minute character having been neglected. At dusk the ticke'-holders bearan to assemble on Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street, and the crush hesame so great that the Rquad of police, one hundred and fifty strong, under Captain McCullough, was brought to the theater and stationed about the entrances in the ves tibules and corridors. Shortly after C o'clock the management ceemed it expedient to op-n the house an hour earlier tuau customary lor the accommodation of the hundreds ot ladies and gentlemen already congregated on the sidewalks. This being done the au ditorium began to fill, until at 7:30 o'clock not a spat was enmtv fromnarterra to donm ihe audience was a brilliant one, and comprised representatives ,of many ot the very best families in the three cities, besides nearly all the city and county officials.

The bouse was tastefully decorated with Hags festooned around the tiers, and over the upper gallery were hung tne Danners ot tne ainerent states of the Union.

RECEIVED AX OVATION on their appearance, and were heartily ap plauded during the progress of the tragedy, At its conclusion the stage was cleared and rearranged for the testimonial services to be conducted by the Arcadian Club. The audience waited patiently and were finally rewarded by the rising of the curtain, discov ering a drawing room tilled by ladies and gentlemen in evening drees, forming a semicircle, from right to lelt, facing the audience. Within the semi-circle stood Professor Koberts, or the New York College, and Messrs. R. II. Stoddard, William Cullen Bryant and Peter Cooper. Ontheonehand were the members of the Arcadian, Ixtos, and Palette clubs, among whom were many of ih well known literateurs of this city, and on the other were representatives from the several theaters of New York, including Messrs. Lester Wallack, John Gilbert, Montague, John T. Raymond, members of the company at Booth's, and many distinguished artists. Outside the theater, between 10:30 and 11 o'clock, the streets were crowded by an expectant throng; -who were beguiled by the display of rockets, Chinese lanterns and" other fireworks provided for the occasion.

If the" few words I am about to say savor of egotism or vain glory, you will, I am sure, pardon me inas much as 1 am here only to speak of myself. You would seem to compliment me upon an honorable life. As I look back upon that life it seems to me that it would have been absolutely Impossible for meto have led anv other. In this I have, perhaps, been mercifully helped more than are many of my beautiful sisters in art. I was. by a rre3s ol circumstances, thrown at an early acre into a profession for which I had received no special' education or schooling, but I had already, though so- young, been brought lace to lace with neces'ity. I found life sadly real, and intensely earnest, and in my ignorance of other ways of study. I re solved to take therefrom my text and my watchword to be thoroughly in earnest intensely . in earnest In all my thoughts and accions, whether in my profession or out of it. be came ray one single idea. And I' honestly believe herein lies the secret of my success in life. I do not believe that any great success in any art can be achieved without it. I say this to the beginners in my profession, and I am sure all the associates in my art, who have honored me with their presence on this occasion, will indorse what I say in this. Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she - re quires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.

The audience at this point again and again cheered, and Miss Cushman was about to finally ret re, when the members of the draYV7,0S,0n' .led by Mra- Bowler, proceeded to sing "Anld Ling Syne." The effect was very striking, but after the second verse the curtain fell. So ended Miss Cushnian's last performance in this city.

Indeed! both parties seem to have the greatest indifference to spies, and present in this respect, a morbid contrast to the French, who took it mo meir neaos during the late war that it was spies who did them all the harm.

Public works are crn"JgwD. roaus oeins repaired, bridges built, and everywhere the regular routine work ol the civil government is progressing as in times ol peace. Don Carlos has bv no means seized the whole revenues of the country ior military purposes, as might naturally he supposed under the circumstances ha wnnlH ao, unt has ordered that wherever pot pre vented by actual military operations THE AVIL ADMISISIRA1IOS should continue to operate as in ordinary timeä. This shows that he knows more about governing a country than he is usual ly given credit for." There are other things that strike us here ai being curious. There seems to be little personal animosityor bit terness between the soldiers of the two ar mies. in spite of stories told of eold-h1ov?a cruelty to each other. Thev ofcen meet in disputed territory " In frontier vil -without coming to blows, m. uomu a UUU1UM VI stories which show that, whatever may be their political opinion, thev have no very ieenng oi animosity toward each other, aBd that arewndllatlon could be very easily enected between the soldiers once their re spective chiefs were of a mind. Opposine 8e"tinels near each other often strike up a conversation, and having come to a satisfactory unaersianaine lay down their arms. meet each other half way, exchange cigar ettes for wine, or wine for bread, or bread ior meat, as the case may be. treating each other to a variety ot approbrious names and epithets the while (the Spanish soldier, unlike the Russian, always insults his enemy). and then resume their respective positions. In every war it often happens that troops on the skirmish line during a cessation of hos tilities arrange a kind of armistice between themselves, but it is unheard of for sentinels to do bo. The follow ing story, I am assured, is true in every particular. A dozen republican sol diers baying got lost in the mountains one ! cold, rainy night, knocked at a house lor shelter which happened tobe already occufded by a dozen Carlists. Alter a little preiminary negotiations an agreement was come to: the republicans were allowed to enter and the Carlists shared . their rations with them in the most hospitable manner. They all-slept together in the same house, shook hands next morning, and eech party went peaceably on its way. THE REDEMPTION BUREAU.

POISONED HIS PARTNER. THE ALLEGED MURDERER ARRESTED A DESPERATE STRUGGLE. . A special to the Louisville Courier-Journal fronl Frankfort, Ky., the 0th inst.,8ays: A most remarkable and somewhat mysterious tragedy occurred at Peak's Mill, nine miles from Frankfort, in this county, last Saturday night. As tb,e matter is to undergo judicial investigation in a few days, I stall only give you an outline of the facts as communicated to me bv respectable citizens of tho vicinity of Peak's Mill, who t,w,ioiD tuuot ui tueir siai9tn6nts unon the dying declarations of the deceased, James A. Bu?h, aged about .bosh and John W. Morrison wer nort. one 4).' ners in the blacksmithing business at Peak's Mill. Morrison, who is about 24 yers old courted a young lady in the neighborhood, and, it 13 said, became engaged to bo married to her. liush thereupon circulated the report that Morrison had lett a wife and one child in Barren county, whence both of them originally came som months ago. This Morriscn pronounced a vile slander, and a bitter enmity arose between the two partners. Notwithstanding this, on Saturday morning last, when Morrison started to Frankfort, Bush requested him to procure and bring out for him a bottle of ginger wine, a very strong alcoholic drink. Morrison came to the city, and while here, it is said, purchased at one of the drug stores a quantitv of strychnine. Returning to Peak's Mill a littio alter dark Saturday night, he met Bush not far from the house of Mr. Lawrence Ilarrod, where Bush warded. Exactly what passed at this fatal interview is not fully or accurately known. It is stated, however, by those whj give Bush's dyinz declaration, that Bush re ceived from Morrison the bottle of ginger wine; that after tak ing a heavy drink from it he remarked to Morrison that he believed he had poisoned him; that thereupon Morrison wade some negative reply, at the same time dropping his saddle bass on the cround and reouesting Bush to pick them up and hand them to him; that when Bush was nroceedincr to comply with this request, MORRISON DREW A DERRINGER pis-tol and fired at Buh, the ball, however, onlygrazing Bush's, head; that thereupon Bush, beginning to suffer severely from the pains of poison, laid hold of Morrison, dragged him ' from his horse, and took lrom him his pocket-book, pistol and ether arti cles, in order as he (Bush) Raid to identify his , murderer. With these he immediately ran into Mr.' Ilarrod's residence . where he boarded and told the family that he bad been poisoned by Morrison, and to do something for him immediately, as he would surely die. Drs Duvall and Wilson, physicians residing a few miles distant, were sent for mmediately; rut when they arrived Bush was found to be beyond the reach of medical aid, and died in less than two hours after meetine Morrison and drinking the ginger wine. Both pbysicianspronounced it a case of poisoning. Meanwhile Messrs. Lu Harrod and John McBride, two citizens of the ol ace. took Morrison into custody. He at first denied bavins; met Bush that night at all; but on being confronted with his nocketbook, pistol, etc., acknowledged that he had tried to shoot him. nut de nied the attempt to poison entirely. lis captors brought him to the city yester day and lodged him in the county jail on the charge of murder by ac ministering poison. To-day he was brought before J edge Thompson and Esquire Qwinn, sitting as an examining court, but owing to the absense of important witnesses and the necessity of awaiting tbe analysis of Bush's stomach, now in possession of the coroner, the examining trial was postponed until to-morrow. Morrison is a rather good-looking young man, dresses well, and is known to be the son of a respectable farmer in Barren county, in this state. lie still denies all knowledge of the poison, or of having given Bush anything to drink, whatever. Bush, it is stated, once served a term in'the penitentiary for horsestealing. There is great congratulation in Great Britain over the death oi the champion dead-beat, who has drawn from tbe public treasury for twenty years the nice little salary of ?6X),000 per annum for doing absolutely nothing. Tbe Rev. Thomas Thurlow, a nephew of the great chancellor, was the happy man. Mr. Thurlow seems to have been born in office. There is no record of his appointments, only the abolitions of the offices Avhich he has held. If he had onlj' lived to see the disestablishment of the church and the abolition of his rectorate, he might have had something more, but we are left to suppose that he at least held the office up to the time of his death, whether he discharged his duties or not. Total, 11,779! And this after all the successive reforms in the dispensation of public money in England since its worst era in the time of the Stuarts and the early Georges! Springfield Republican,
