standing the ignorance of our slow coach CO.
temporaries on the subect-,oiu be accepted,
and finally settle this important and long pending

CHE OREGON CONTROVERSY SETTLED
The New York Journal Of Commerce Of We'd
nesday last, contains the following important
information, ifit be true:
"Letters by the Great Western from high
sources, say that the Oregon question is SET
TIED, and give the details, viz: lat. 40 to the
Straits of Fuca, and thence through said
Straits to the Pacific, leaving the whole of
Vancouver's Island to Great Britain, the navi-
CATION Of the Columbia for term of years,
&c. We understand the fact to be, that the
arrangement made through the medium of
several gentleman at Washington, and which
we announced perhaps two months ago, but
which was retarded by the uncourteous manner
in which the offer of arbitration was rejected,
has now been recognized and confirmed. The
forms ofdiplomacy will be gone through with
at Washington, as we presume-for the formal
negotiation has never by our Government been
committed to Mr.. McDane, though the gener-
Gus confidence existing between him and Lord
Aberdeen has doubtless enabled him to render
important aid in bringing the controversy to Il
favorable issue.
The President we have reason to know, is
ready and prompt to accept the terms stated
above, and the Senate not less prompt in con-
firming what he dues. Let the dogs of war
bawl and 90 to 81 40-the prey has escaped
them. The Irrational heart" needs not now to
"be prepared for war;"
A paragraph from Liverpool paper of the
18th, mentions the above intelligence as hav-
ing been rumored on Change, but doet not
speak confidently of its correctness. Our reg
ular correspondent writes us under date of the
10th instant, that the war party in England,
as we'll as here, was completely down, but he
does not appear to have been aware that the
terms of an arrangement had been agreed on"
If this statement be correct, our Government
must be in possession of the facts; but we have
seen no ntimation of the kind, unless the ed-
tor Of the Union has reference to this matter in
his remark in yesterdays paper, Gin both
cases." (our difficulties with England and Mex
ico,) "perhaps, the Government may have i'll
formation not in the possession of the public"
In regard to the Oregon controversy, the pub-
lie has been supposed to be in possession of all
that has transpired between the two Govern
ments, and yet the arrangement mentioned
may have been made in an unofficial way, and
brought out by the Great Western for the
sanction of the President, before being reduced
to an official form. We hope that such may
prove to be facts. few days will probably
enlighten us on the subject.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. We find in the Full
ton (Mo.) Telegraph, the particulars of a most
melancholy case ofsuicide, in Galloway county.
The daughter of Maj. Willis W. Smell left home
on Monday morning, the 18th inst, to visit as
was supposed some other neghbors, No uneas-
mess was felt about her protracted absence from
home, until evening, when search was immed-
ately commenced and continued during the
night. Next day about sunrise, her body was
discovered suspended from the limb ola e,by
a small cord fastened around her neck. Life
was utterly gone She had been in i'll health
for some time previous, and this is supposed to
have led to the melancholy occurrence.

tFor the American Republican,
MAY MATHIS IN THE OPEN AIR.

BY IBO I. HEYEN.
Il Sweet May! on wings of gladRess borne,
n Sautes again the verdant earth;
The first bright glance of roseate morn,
From orient mansions springing forth
EnBds welcome to the bridal queen,
#Through sunny-bowered portals seem
4 And sounds o nrthtul melody,
#Open the years great jubilee.
s In dewy freshness, hill and dale,
Enranced, like fairy landscapes lie;
And pioneers Of rapture salt,
Il Hymnng beneath the azure sky:
#Inclined to love and ble;sedness,
#Their heavenly birthri5ht to confess;
j iUnnumbered voices swell the theme,
IOf paradisa bliss supreme.
=lThe cOnsecrated hours unfold
a High streaming banners, far and near;
n And dreams of ether worship hold
b Assemblies in conjunction, where,
kThroughout reclining scenes of glee,
Z lEarth's haiIOWed fOunts of mnsuelsy,
Return in mighty unison,
4,Suains by seraphic harps begun.
INLAY morning! wave thy glofies high,
That man may bless thy hour of joy;
5fWhence breaks anew thy brilliancy-
"a A peerless bloom-agaln employ
&1Thy reigning spirits deep drawn spells,
i 10 touch with bliss the waving dells;
1.-THE Hging streams, and hills that share
1.-THE banquet Of the vernal year.
EepEow leave your tuneless dens of gloom,
Wayiarers of the city's crowd;
HfWhere Sprn- IS most IustrOus beauties bloom,
M There be your thankful voices loud.
BYE children of disease and woe,
#Out! let your stitled murmurings flow,

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY |, 1916.

| Mr.. WEBsTER's RECEPTION AT BosToN.-
The Hon. Daniel Webster had an enthusiastic
reception on his arrival at Boston, on Monday
evening. An immense crowd assembled at the
depot, and as the cars came in sight, band of
music struck up a triumphant march and amid
the martial strains Mr.. Webster was escorted
to a barouche and four which was in waiting
for him, in front of the United States HOTEL
Here the scene, says the Boston Journal, which
met his eyes must have been gratifying indeed.
The whole street in front of the Hotel was
densely crowded with his fellow citizens, as
the roofs of the buildings opposite, and the
steps of the Hotel. The windows of that inn
mense edifce were filled with ladies'.
The Mayor ofthe city then addressed him in
a brief and pertinent, though sufficiently lau-
datory manner. Mr. Webster replied in his
usual manly and impressive style. The Mayor
had remarked on the Senator's fight with "the
wild beasts at Washington. In reply Mr..
w. alluded briefly to the attacks which had
been made on his integrity. Such things were
far from pleasant, though he had never feared
that any thing could be brought against him
to tanish his own name or bring a blush on
the face of any constituent. The affair had
never caused him single sleepless night.
Mr.. Webster dwelt somewhat on the present
aspect of our public affairs; and we were sorry
to notice, that he spoke less encouragingy OF
these than we had anticipated, and less so than
we had supposed that the present aspect of our
affairs warranted. Mr.. Webster expressed his
apprehensons of the effect of the strong and
highly excited party feeling which now existed
among our legislators, on the measures of our
Government and the welfare of the Nation
He, however, reminded his bearers that there
was large and unyielding body of men, from
different sections of the country, bound togeth-
er by common principles, who would stand
like rock against every effort to break down
the present prosperity Of our country, and who
would do their utmost to avert every threatened
evil from the land.
A large procession was then formed which
escorted Mr.. Webster to the residence of Jas
w. Page, where he took brief and "respect-
full FAREWELL of the assembled thousands in the
streets, assuring them that he should never for
get the kindness that had been manifested, as
he hoped ever TO deserve it by endovoring to
promote the common good.
The band struck up "Home Sweet Home"
and the crowd separated amid the most deafen-
ing shouts of applause.

AMERICAN LUxURIEs IN ENGLAND. The
produce of the United States is becoming very
popular in England, aud is beginning to COM
mand fine prices, A correspondent of the
Boston Traveller writes from London as fol-
lows:
American cheese, when it was first introduce
ed here, was not esteemed, and only the poor
est classes would purchase it, the quality was
so ordinary; but now the leading cheese-mon-
gers always have a large supply of American
cheese, and take care to inform the public OF its
superior quality. Indian Corn is another
article Of food that is just now talked about,
and great efforts are making to introduce the
bread made from wheat flour and Indian meal,
not only among the Irish people, but in the
United Kingdom. 1t is coming rapidly into
favor in all the large towns. Dr. Thompson
recently read an able paper at meeting vi the
Glasgow Philosophical Society, on the nutn-
tive qualities of Indian corn, which he ranked
very high, and said it made can agreeable arti-
Gle of diet"
The luxures, too, of the United States have
made their appearance in the metropolis OF
England. To say nothing of the great value
of American ice, and its extensive use by the
nobility and gentry, the table OF the West End
arstocIacy can now be supplied with canvas
back ducks, and turkeys and venison! The
american Ice Company" recently astonished
the epcures of the clubs by the following an
nouncements: ".4merican Forest VeniSon.-A
few saddles, of very superior quality, in fine
condition, Just received by the American Ice
Company, lO6 New Bond street." Again:
"TNid Turkeys, from the American forests,
domesticated turkeys, wild geese from the A.
merican lakes, mongrel geese; and superior
lot of capons, Just received in fine order, at
LOG New Bond street." Here is another an
nouncement, and it is probably the first of the
kind that ever appeared in foreign newspaper:
Cdnuas- Back Ducks, from the Chesapeake Bay.
A very fine lot of this celebrated water fowl,
lust received from America, in excellent pre-
servaton, for sale by the American Ice Co.,
LOG New Bond street."
The American ice trade must prove exceed
ingly profitable the present season, as the re-
markedly mild winter here prevented any of
the traders in ice from securing any stocks.-
During the spring and summer months Amer
lean ice will be in great demand. 1t is sold at
ten shilngs sterling the cwt., or at twopence
per pound, at retail. A warehouse has been
prepared at the st. Katharine's dock, in a
cool place, and effectually protected from the
sun and heat, expressly for the storage of A
mercan ice, and where it can be Immediately
deposited on being cleared from the vessel, and
remain till the owners remove it to their own
warehouses. The Londoners are just begin
ming to appreciate American ice, and large
quantities can readily be sold here at high pri-
| Ces
