THE English sparrows which Mr. Crawford introduced here some time ago have all deserted him. They seem to like his neighbors belter, 60 that all those elegant little houses he had constructed for their accommodation, and which are large enough to have provided for something more than a million of them, are as "a painted ship upon a painted ocean." Some of them are down about the court house, and, in fact, they can be found all over town.

CANTREL, Jackson & Harrison have some fine piano-box buggies in the course of construciion which have been underway since last August. An incredible amount ot work

"THE POET OF HILL CHEEK."

Or, in Other words. "The Bard of the Ohio*'—Who is None Other Than Murat Halstead, Editor of the-

Cincinnati Commercial.

An Original and Beautiful Poem by Mr. Halstead, Entitled "The Clam."

Never Before Published.

ON THE CARS IN IOWA, April 5,1877. To the Editor of The Inter-Ocean: I have already sent a duplicate of the inclosed poem by Murat Halstead, of Cincinnati, to the New York Sun, but I think 6uch a practical discovery as I have made should have two simultaneous announcements on this continent and one in Europe. For this reason I also send a triplicate copy to the London Time6.

This poem was first shown to me in Cincinnati about two weeks agoin Mr. Halstead'6 handwriting. It was written in his early youth—I should 6ay about twenty years ago—and I am told that it is only one among a thousand which MJ. Halstead is soon to publish to the world. It is Mr, Halstead's excessive modesty which has kept him in the background so many years. Many of the great poems attributed to other authors, were in fact written by him, but his modesty has allowed rival poets to claim them. It was so with his "Ps.alm of Life," claimed Mr, Longfellow, and with "Maud Muller," often attributed to Mr. Whittier. These, am told, were really written by Mr. Halstead.

In Cincinnati, Mr. Halstead's familiar friends often refer lo him a6 "the poet." He is often called '"The Bard of the Ohio," the "Sweet Songster of Mill Creek," etc., etc.

To show Mr. Halstead's modesty, I will say that when he read the inclosed Do^m\to me, he blushed, and laid it to Alt'. Burnett. He said Alf Burnett wrote it when he was drunk.

How innocent—how 6elf-sacrific»ng! The circumstance which called out this poem was this: About twenty years ago, Mr. Collard Martin, a reporter on the Cincinnati Commercial, died, and, as a fitting memorial, Mr. Charles Barras, the author of the "Black Crook," wrote a touching twelve-verse monody commencing thus: MONODY ON THE DEATH OF

COLLARD MARTIN BY CHARLES BARRAS. Down in the valley

Down in the valley Down in the valley Sleepeth poor Coll—

Down in the valley ill Down in the valley Down in the valley Slumbreth poor Coll. And 60 the poet went on for twelve verses.

Mr. Halstead saw that poem. It awoke poetic fires in him, and he went out and wrote the following parody, which he now in his excessive modesty lays to Alf Burnett:

EULOGY ON A CLAM.

(On account of his self-sacrificing death.) BY M. D. I.

Down in the water 1! Down in the water Down in the water Liveth the clam.

He eateth and drinketh, and drinketh and eateth, And openeth and 6hutteth, and 6hutteth and openeth,

And don't care a damn.

Down in the water Down in the water Down in the water! Dwelleth the clam.

And openeth and shutteth and shutteth and openeth, And eateth and drinketh and drinketh and eatheth,

And don'tcare a jam For all that is passing, For all that is passing, For all that is passing on land.

HI.

Down in theyrater!!! Down in the water!! Down in the weter! Divethlhe man, And up from the bottom!!! Up from the bottom!! Up from the bottom!

Bringeth the clam

That openeth and shuteth, and 6huteth and openeth, And cares nary damn

And then to the bivalve!!^ Then to the bivalve!! Sayeth the man: Good for a bake—good for a fry, Go)d for a chowder—good for a pie

Good little clam.

Down in the water, Do Do No more liveth the clam, To open and shut, and still shut and open,

And care not a damn. No more!" Never more!! Not any more!

S w- m—-

M. H—D.

There are people, I presume, who will not see real' genius in this great poem There are thosi who will deny that Mr. Halstead is a second Bryant who will say that Whittier can put him out on the first babe. But recollect Mr. Halstead is not as old as Bryant. Mr. Halstead is juot turning 50, while Brvant is hard on 90. Now, a few hundred years on Mr. Halstead's head will make agreat difference with his poetry, Solomon never wrote any first-rate things till he was 115 years old. Do you expect Mr. Halstead to discount Solcrnon

If this grst effort from the Bard of Ohio is well received by the world—that is, if no one gets out an injunction against him —I will try and secure some more of Mr Halstead's early poems for publication in The Inter-Ocean.

Yours truly,

"ELI PERKINS."

He writes a Letter to the Ben* eral Public Setting Forth the Situation.

Verbatim Reprint of His Epistle.

The fallowing letter has been received by Sheriff Carico from Trader, now a resident of Jeffersonville. Particular instruction was given to have it published Trader was 6e..t to the penitentiary from here about a year ago for murder, his sentence being for life. It makes mighty interesting reading.

Jeffersonville, Ind., March, 1877. To the citizens of Vi^o County DEAR FRIENDS.—in the lonely solitude of rny prison cell while contemj lating my passed errors—rettrospecting, my fatle mistakes I am almost ready to give over to dispair.

Sometimes that still small voice within my heart whispers hope but what Slite foundation is there for hope when I take into consideration the general indifference which charractrises the Mass ef the people now-a-days.

But there is a sympathy pervading every human heart for the poor and unfortunate and should I be so fortunate as to arouse that Sympathy in my behalf I shall have accomplished the object have in view in writing this article.

Where is our generous and noble Christianity and charity born of that deligated Love, delivered us by the divine Son of God is it vanquished and suplanted by the rigious unmerciful clasp of the civil Law must the Law of God the Almighty Creator of all things give way and be made Subservant to the imperfect human institution the answer Spring up in the heart of every human who conscience is not blunted by sir., No No says the mercifull and great of our land. Let God6 Law reign Supreme let human Law be made to promote not anule the Law of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Then fellow citizens contemplate fer a moment the situation of one doomed to a life time confindment within the narrow limits of a prison tomb. That I have ben quilty ot transgressing upon the 6uncity of the law I do not deny yet were all the good people of Vigo County acquainted with all the attending circumstances of my tnible I do not think they could condemn me intirly.

I hope that the citizens of Vigo County will extend towards me a sympathy which will warent me in hoping that in future I may expect by their consent to receive exicutive clemency from the chief magistrate of our Stale.

Should they so conclucd I shall ever try by the help of Heaven to mak amends for this one great error of my life, with good will to all

I remain Yours Respectfully John Trader Jefkersonville Indiana

A CARD.

Messrs. Fay & Reynolds, of Boston, 6ole manufacturers of the Roby Double Busk Corsets, wishes to inform the ladies of ferre Haute and vicinity, that Messrs. Hughes & Reed of the Ladies' Variety Store, on Main street, are their sole agents for Terre )Haute, and all goods purchased of them are warranted to be genuine and just as represented.

The success of these Double Busk Corsests has lead one of the dealers of this city to take an underhand way ef obtaining onr goods, and to try and injure Messrs. Hughes & Reed, and the well known excellence of these goods, by coming out with a lie on a fly card, saj'ing that he has the "uncomfortable Roby Double Bnsk Corsets for sale." He now finds that statement very uncomfortable, as the lie sticks to him, and not to the Corsets. He acknowledges to our gen eral agent, Mr. A. P. Bickmore, that he made that wrong statement to injure Messrs. Hughes & Reed, not again&f the corsets.

Yours respectfully, FAY & REYNOLDS,

No. 17 Boylston St., Boston.

YESTERDAY we announced that the Popular Cent Store would soon dispose of their handsome doll. We have to-day, from the proprietor, a very bright programme for its final disposal, by next Saturday, the 14th, tickets will be given free to each purchaser of 25 cents from the great variety of fancy goods aud notions. Prices will be no more and all goods warranted as represented. In addition to this about 400 sacks of flour given away in three parts, the 15th of each month, May, June and 4th July. Orders given by Trustee Fischer, of this city at his office next modth.

Mr. I. Fechheimei hopes to receive the satisfaction of disposing of the doll to the public's entire satisfaction.

A CARD.

We are reliably informed that J. B. Huges, late running the St. Clair, is constantly uttering slanderous statements against us and in many ways tries to injure us and our business by charges against the patrons of the St. Clair. As far as the reports amount to among all business men we do not care, for all are pretty well acquainted with his wonderful habits of voracity, manjr to their considerable cost, but we don like it to go any farther and denounce all his statements against U6, or the hotel, or its guests, as utterly false. He had not paid his rent here for months and the owner leased it to us in a perfectly fair manner.

CHARLEY BARRICK S TRADE.

COAL

Charley Barrick tells a story on himself about a coal trade he made the other dav, which illustrates ways that are dark and tricks that are not in vain. A muscular colored matron called at his coal office with a large basket and wanted to get five cents worth of coal. He told her to take what she could carry. Thereup on she loaded up the basket with nearly twice as much above as beneath the rim. She then took a large slab which they had on exhibition in front of the office, and which Charley declares, would weigh a ton, though that is probably an exaggeration, and balanced it on her head. Taking in the right hand a tremendous slab as a balance for the basket in her left, she proceeded on her way, a dusky princess arrayed with bar-Barrick splendor in several thousand pounds of black diamonds —and all for a nickel.
