The following lines (by WILLIAM w. HoLDEs)
were suggested on reading the extract given be
low, from the very eloquent eulogium delivered il
the House, on the character of Mr.. CALHOUN, by
MIR. WINTHROP, Of Massachusetts:
"We have been told, sir, by more than one ad
venturous navigator, that il was worth all the pr
vations and perils of protracted voyage beyond
the line, to obtain even passing view OF ne South
srn Crossthat great constellation Of the Southern
hemisphere. We can imagine, then, what woule
be the emotions of those who have always enjoyee
the light OF that magnificent luminary, and wht
have taken their daily and nightly direction from IL
refugent rays il it were suddenly blottedout from
the sky. Such, sir, and deep, can conceive Il
be the emotions Of this hour, Of not few of thu
honored friends and associates whom see aroune
me-"
The voyager ON the Southern main
Views with rapt awe the hallowed sign
Which nightly flames "beyond the line;'
Nor deems that labor all in vain
Which brings him to the long sought shrine.
The tribes of men, in field, by food
Walk in its light when day is done
And hail it in its high abode,
Blest reflex of the absent sun.
In all their devious wanderings,
From dewy eve, through midnight's reign,
II guides them, till the Mornings wings
Shed sunlight DER the earth again.
What If that Cross its front should veil,
And, darkling, sink in Nights embrace?
Nor other stars nor sun could fill,
Or share its wondrous dwelling place
STAR THE SouTH! twas thus with thee!
To thee all eyes and hearts were turned;
As round thy path, from plain to sea,
The glory Of thy greatness burned.
Millions were drawn to thee, and bound,
By minds high mastery! millions hailed
In thee guide-star, and meier found
A ray in thee that waned or failed
Fixed as that sign which hangs in Heaven;
Firm as the Garth it shines upon;
Pure as the snow by light winds driven,
Vert thou, Columbia's honored son!
No Nights embrace for thee! nor pail
But such as mortal hand hath wrought:
Thou LIvEsr STILL in mind-in all
That breathes, or speaks, or lives in Thought.
Star of the South thy beams here
Here in this heart that weeps thy loss;
Though hidden, thou art still sphere,
Serene, refined from earthly dross,
Eternal, and intensely clear!

BALrImoRE, April 1916 p. IN.
The Convention of Editors and Publishers OF
Newspapers in the State Of Maryland assembled
to-day in the large hall in Baltimore street, over
the American Office. The convention was or
ganized by appointing Mr. Kayting editor of the
Hartford "DIadisonian," who, taking the chair,
briefly stated the object of their meeting together.
II chiefly to protect themselves in the advertis
ing agency system, and adopt uniform scale Of
charges for advertisements. He called the atten-
ton Of those present to the cheap postage movement.
and recommended the editors generally to advo-
cate its early adoption by our present Congress
There are from fifteen 10 twenty present, and their
deliberations are conducted with that harmony and
good feeling which characterzes the editorial corps
when discussing through other channels than their
columns
A party of "models," principally females, call
ing themselves the Nightingale Serenaders," from
New York, after passing through Philadelphia,
where they met with but little success, undertook
to give series of their indecent exhibitions in this
city ON Saturday night. But vigilant police
bounced upon them in the mdst of their perform
ance, and arrested all, who, being encountered
with stage fixins, could not escape. They were
brought before Justice Bordly, who held them over
for further hearing.
town meeting is 10 be held in Monument
Square on Thursday evening, to suggest measures
for State reform. Reformation of some sort is
doubtlessly needed; but do not think that the
present movement will tend to bring it about, it
is looked upon as scheme gotten up by the Demo-
Gratis to advance the interest of their party at the
next gubernatoria election which takes place next
fall

MISSISSIPPI.

The Natchez Courier of the goth ult repub-
fishes the call for the great Union meeting which
was to take place on the following Monday, with
the number of signatures increased to 573, and
says that 100 Union men were out of town, the
whole vote of the city being 900.
The Courier, which is Wing paper, warmly
opposes the Disunon movement, and the Koscius-
ko Chronicle, which is Democratic, and sustained
the resolutions of the Nashville Convention, holds
the following language:
" But short time since could not have been made
to believe that any entertained the remo,est
desire to sever the bonds which bind together these
blood cemented Setes but the conviction forces
with painful certainty upon mind the fact, that not
only isolated individuals, but Gu point OF numbers and
ntegenee) very respectable class OF those who calm
iy contemplate and seriously wish a contamination of
this terrible calam ty, pouring into the
ears OF ther countrymen vanished tale OF wrongs
which the Uaou imposes upon them, and tairweater
prediction OF the magnificent future and glorious
tiny Of It Southern Republic Will the people--the
great body OF American cilizenship-gve to the
sentiment ST dieunIon advocated by R. B. Rett, of
South Carolina, and Beverly Tucker, Of Virginia 3
VIII Southern Shareholders risk their safety
IN 20 doubtful an enterprise, unless forced Into the

Northern brethren! hrse are questions which time
aloGe determine The future is shadowed over by
pnrtehious clouds, and while confidence in The pa

SONS heightened by the demonstrations of
talented men, 10 whom the people look for counsel If
that connse should be wise, how fearful their respon
sbIhLy In the language OF contemporary The with
euug curses OF hundreds, yea, of multiplied thousands
will he Their portion"
We are happy to perceive these Indications Of
the existence of a wholesome public sentiment
in Mississippi; for there is reason to believe that
The schemes of the Dieunionsts now rest mainly
on the hope that that State will consent to Join
South Carolina in seeding. Her Governor, one
Of her Senators, and all four of her Representa-
tives are understood to be anxious for dissolu-
ton of the Union. Ex-Governor Brown has
openly declared, in his place, in Congress. that
$50 help him God, he is for resistance p Mr..
Foote and Judge Sharkey, however, will be eff
fcient leaders Of the Union party, and we cannot
but believe that the people of Mississippi will take
counsel Of them, rather than of Gov. Qutman,
who is ambitious to command the Southern army,
of Jefferson Davis, who probably affects the same
honour, and of the four rampant representatives,
who think the best way to secure reelection to
Congress is to talk about breaking Congress up.

A MUSICAL GENIUs.-A well known pianist recent
Y played some OF his most astonishing pieces before
the Grand Segnor. AT the conclusion of the perform

great apparent admiration said 10 him.

Now this may be regarded as one OF the most equi-
vocal compliments ever paid any performer on the
Piano, and ranks the Sublime Porte among the wits

not possess that delcacy Of touch which so pre-emi
