A PROCLAMAT

Whereas information has been re-
ceived that sundry persons are COM
bined or combining and confederating
on Lake Champlain and the country
thereto adjacent for the purposes of
forming Instructions against the au-
thority of the law of the u. States,
for opposing the same and obstructing
their execution and that such COM
binations are two powerful to be sup
pressed by the ordinary course of ju-
dicial proceedings, or by the powers
vested in the marshals, by the laws of
the United States.
Now therefore to the end, that the
authority of the laws may be maintain
ed, and that those concerned directly
or indirectly, iii any insurrection or
combination, against the same, NAV
be duly warned---l have issued this nv
PROCLAMATION, hereby COM
manding such insurgents, and all con-
cerned in such combinations, Instant
ly and without delay to dispense and
retire peaceabiy to their respective a
bodies; And / do hereby further re-
quire and command all officers having
authority, civil or military, and all o.
Their persons civil or military, who
shall be found within the vicinage of
such instructions or combinations, to
be aiding and assisting, by all the
means in their power, BY force of arms,
or otherwise, to quell and subdue
such instructions or combinations,
to seize upon all those therein con-
cerned, who shall not Instantly, and
without delay, dispense and retire to
their respective abodes and, to deli
yer them over to the civil authority of
the place, to be proceeded against &C
cording to law.
In testimony whereof, have caus-
ed the seal of the United States, TO be
affixed to these presents, and signed
the same with my hand. Given at the
city of Washington, the 10Th OF April,
1903; and in me sovereignty and in

Mr.. WAGNER,
Permit me, Sir, to correct
a mistatement which some individual.
either through enmity or ignorance,
has industriously circulated through
some of the prints of the u. States. L
refer to the following article, which /
find retailed to the Baltimore public
by the Editors of the Evening Post on
Thursday:
"On the evening Of the last day Of
the present session Of Congress, land
only one hour before the adiournment)
Mr.. Randolph aked and obtained
leave Of absence. Previous to his
leaving the floor Of Congress Hall, he
went round, and, in the most impress
sive and aHIectionate manner, shook
hands with each, without single ex-
cePtion, the speaker continually calling

THE AFFECTIoNATE HEART.
BY JOSEPH coTTLE.


Let the great man his treasure possessing,
Pomp and splendor forever attend:
prize not the shadowy blessing,
ask--the affectionate friend.
Though foibles may sometimes o'ertake him
His footsteps from wisdom depart;
Yet, my spirit shall never forsakc him,
If he own the affectionate heart.
Affection thou soother of care.
Without thee unfriended we rove:
Thou canst make cen the desert look fair,
And thy voice is the voice of the dove.
Mid the anguish that preys on the breast,
And the storms of Mortality's state:
What shall lul the afflicted to rest,
But the Joys that on sympathy wait f!
What is Fame, bidding Envy defiance,
The idol and bane of mankind;
What is wit, what is learning, or science,
10 the heart that is steadfast and kind
Even Genius may weary the sight,
By too fierce and too constant blaze;
But Affection, mild planet of night!
Grows loyelier the longer we gaze.
1t shall thrive when the fattering forms
That encircle creation, decay;
1t shall live mid the wide-wastine storms.
That bear all undistinguish'd away.
When Time, at the end of his race,
Snail expire with expiring mankind
1t shall stand on its permanent base;
1t shall last till the wreck of the wind,
Music hath charms, TO make Zdyiors zOo,k
The effect of music on the body as well as
mind, was verified, during late general rnour-
ming. A Taylor having great number Of black
suits, which were to be finished in short psace
of time-amoug his worlsmen there was fel.
low who was always singing Rule Britannia, and
the rest OF the journeymen joined in the chorus.
The taylor made his observst ons, and found
thar the slow time of the tune retarded the work
in consequence he engaged blind fiddler, and
placing him near the workshop made him play
the lively tune Of Nancy Dawson. This had
the proper eRect-the toylors' elbows moved o.
bedient 20 the melody. and the clothes were sent
home within the prescribed period
