WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1916
The city is IN state OF mos, anxious ex-

port has been dispatched to the President, Of the
news from the Hibernia, and that SAID news is de-
cidedly OF black complexion--to wit that Great
Britain herself proposes TO give the notice. and TO
occupy the whole OF the Oregon territory We
have also rumor OF important intelligence from
Mexico, but which, whatever il is is considered as
absolutely nothing compared with the reported
news from Engand. All the tremendous issues that
OF war might here then, be most appropriately dis
cussed, but we await the confirmation refutation
OF TINS portentous rumor Meanwhile, in the event
OF clear prospect OF the dark contingency of strife
the Military Committee of the House, are ready in
moment to r. port bill granting Il full discretion
carte blanche To the President to put the country
IN state of defence. In the name of the prophets
and the aposss, and for Gods sake let us have the
news from England. Not few individuals in ths
metropolis VIII sit up to the two O'Clock morning
train from Baltimore. Individuality we have the
strongest presenments OF intelligence not at all con-
elusive OF war.

the moment Of dissolution While life re-

its affections the heart still sends forth the
doom over the wide waste OF stil'cton,
fondly dreaming OF her return with the OIL

too fully occupied with the duties OF the
sick chamber, has scarcely leisure to
dwell upon aught BESIDE. To smooth the
pilow-to watch over the unquiet sium-
ber-,o sweeten the bitter draught with
affections hand read the languid eye
and anticipate the broken wish these,
and thousand other kindly offices fill up
the weary hours, and Irvine the loved one

the heart. But when the last scene was
closed on the being we have so loved and
tended--when the warm heart can nolon,
ger feel our caro-, nor the beaming eye
smile its thanks, then it is that the frame
and crushed spirit sink together IN utter
helpless loneliness. Beyond that silent
chamber the wide world appears one track.
