poem on the subject OF this nymph.
The FISHER.
The wafer rushed, the wafer rose,
The Fisher sal idly by,
Refreshing his heart as he peacefully sszed
On his hook that foaled nigh.
And as he listened, and as ne gazed,
The foaming waves divide,
And dripping woman suddenly spTang
From out the moving tide.
She sang to him, she spake TO him,
"Oh. what are my brood 10 thee,
That thou suarest them thus 10 a painful death,
From their quie, home, the sea 2
An, couldst thou know The blessed life
We lead amid the brine,
Thou wouldsl step in with joyful heaIt,
And make such pleasures thine.
"The blessed sun looks down,-,he moon
Refreshes herself in the sea;
And the breathing waves reflect they not
Her calm face lovngly2
Can'si thou resis, this glorious heaven,
This heaven of deepes, blue,
And the image OF thine own fair iace
That's pleading with thee, 100 =
The waters rushed the waters rose,
II kiss'd his naked ieer,
And his heart beat with nameless lonsinss
AT that voice so soft ard sweet
She srake 10 him she sang 10 him,
Such song has seldom been:
Half drew she him, hall sank he in,
And never more was seen.

democratic majority OF over seventeen thousand.
To balance them, the wings have the strong whig

INTELLIGENCE FROM HAVANA AND CENTRAL AMER
IcA--The steamer Falcon, Captain Thompson, ar
rived yestel day morning, from New Orleans, Hava-
ma, and Savannah. She was necessarily detained at
the different ports sixty.three hours, and expert
enced succession OF strong gales from the north
east; one off Hatteras, compelled her to lay to
seventeen hours. Her passage, nevertheless, is
excellent.
BY this arrival we put in possession of the
Faro Industrial and Gaceta de Ia Hbana, to the
Both ult.
On the 18th, the Spanish steamship Trident
arrived at Havana, from Cadiz, which port she left
on the lst She made the voyage to Puerto Rico
in Is days, and after detention of four days there,
proceeded to Havana, where she arrived on the
9th, thus making very excellent trip. We be-
leve this is the first Of the new line of steamers
between Spain and her colonies. She brought out
a new governor for Puerto Rico, Senior Perzuela
who goes to take the place Of Count Reus, the
state of whose health had obliged him to give up his
governorship.

favorable accounts for the cause of the whites

The company of American volunteers had arrived
at Izamal, on the 4tb, to be enrolled in the army
of operation Besides this assistance in he way
of men, the government had received 81 ,2Si, from
the private contributions IN the city of Mexico.
From Guatemala, accounts had been received
to the 9th ult. From Izabal, the capital, they
write that the revolution had been effected, and
that the power Of Carrera had disapJ cared before
the coalition against him. and that Guatemala,
after SO many years OF inactivity, will once again
have Legislative parliamentary assembly. The
letter from thence is very confused ana vague in
it's terms, therefore we cannot say when this
change was to 60 into operation.
At Havana everything seems to be dull. The
Tacon theatre was In operation, with good dra-
matte company; the only symptoms we see of
opera are a paragraph or two, announcing that
during the present season, three OF the most bril-
liant new operas, viz "Macbeth" and " Manas-

DIRTY WoRK.-The organ of the old hunkers
in this city, charges the barnburners with hiring
rooms in public house in this city for commit
tee purposes, and not paying for them, although
the bill has been presented several times. We
do not pity the sufferer in the least. Any man
who knows SO little of politicians as to trust them
for anything. deserves to be shaved, and to buy
wisdom by experience. Hereafter, the gentleman
will probably require payment In advance. If he
had done so IN the first place, he would not now
be whistling for his money.

CLASSIFICATION OF PUBLIC REsoLUTIoNs.-The
Tribune, in copying from the Herald the exclusive
account which 1t published OF the German meet
ing, on Saturday last, and in copying, rerbatim,
the resolutions, translated from the German for
this paper, has, we think, acted unfaithfry in
taking liberties with the resolutions, and altering
them in very material point. The original re-
solution in German has the words, "das biutige
banner der so.,aien repubhk," which our trans
lator and reporter faithfully translated, " the
bloody bdnnu Of the social republic But the
Tribune while 1t follows our translation faithfully
IN all other respects, even where introduced ne
scesary additions, has taken the liberty of substitu-
ting "noble banner" for 'bloody." We have
the original by US, which any one is welcome to
examine.

Of the Legislature, and II members Of Congress,
are TO be chosen. The choice of members Of the
Legislature Is deemed of great Importance, as,
besides a choice of United States Senator in
place of Mr.. Allen, the welknown democrat,
who has so long represented OHIO IN the
national councils, the democrats threaten, If
they carry a majority of the Legislature, not
only 10 repeal the general banking law, break
up the whole system OF banks in the State, and
establish a system of hard money; but also to re-
zeal the apportionment law, passed by the wings
last year, dlstnoting the State for State Senator's
and Repre- sentatlves; in short, to get up kind of
Dorr revolution Gaping the climax by calling
convention TO frame a NEW constitution. These
threats and movements of the democrats have
greatly alarmed the quiet business men Of the
State; and consequently the wings and free soil
men unite on members of the Legislature, and
will probably carry that body, Dust Senator Allen,
and keep things as they are, as to banks and other
matters.
The wings and free soil men also unite on
Governor and members OF Congress. in some dis
tricts. Thus, Gildings, Root, Crowcll, and Camp
bell, tree soil men, are supported by the wings
John B. Weller is the democratic candidate tor
Governor and Seabury Ford, the wing and free
soil candidate The election of the latter Is re-
garded as CERTAIN, by large majority, over
Weller.
The OHIO delegation in the Thlrtieth Congress,
chosen in 1916, stood eleven wings to ten demo-
Gratis. The wings have chance to gain two or
three members, but three or four of the men they
elect Will be antl-Tay or free-sol men. Possibly,
however, they may all eventually support Taylor's
administration, SHOULD he be elected,) except
Giddings.
The vote of Ohio, for President, in 1914, stood
as follows -
