with mysterious air she entered the apart,

the lady, regarding with smile the ash,

nearer and speaking with great earneslness,

Ludv was one Of those old faithful negro
domestics, SO often met with in the best
Southern families. She had seen grow up
three generations Of 'her people, as she cha
rac,erisllcallv called The descendants of her
master, and faithful unto dealh' was she /"
the hind hearted 'chidren' she had nursed
on her bosom. OF course, as is always The
case, Ludy had many privileges, and was a
person Of no l,itIe importance, not only 10

Ludy, like the majority of the colored
race, was firm believer in ghosts and ap-
partitions Of all kinds, and this superstition
made her sometimes lille troublesome to
her mistress. On this OCCASION, therefore,
when she had explained to Mrs. Fonlaine
the suhjec. Of her communication, that lady
felt more annoyance than she would will
linely have allowed Ludy to perceive, and
suffered her to ramble on without reply,
hoping that the ghost story as well as the
untimely visit Of the narrator would soon be
at an end.
'I.'s as shore as de grave,' said Ludy
solemnly, and sitting down in all easv chair

PO E T R Y

IE COUNTRY LASSIE & HER LOVE
By RICHARD COE, JR.
"To-morrow, ma, Pm sweet sixteen,
And Billy Grimes, the drover,
Has popp'd the question to me, ma,
And wants to be my lover!
Tomorrow morn he says, mamma,
He's coming here quite early
To take pleasant walk with me
Across the field of barley
"You must not go, my gentle dear,
There's no use now talking;
You shall not go across the field
With Billy Grimes walking.
To think of his presumption, too?
The dirty ugly drover,
/ wonder were your pride has gone,
To think of such a rover!''
"Old Grimes is dead you know, mamma,
And Billy is so lonely!
Beside, they say, to Grimes estate,
That Billy is the only
Surviving heir to all that's left !;
And that, they say, is nearly
A good ten thousand dollars, ma
About six hundred yearly !"
81 did not hear, nv daughter dear,
Your last remark quite clearly.
But Billy is clever lad,
And no doubt loves you dearly 4!
Remember then, tomorrow morn,
To be up bright and early,
To take pleasant walk with him

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoS.-Thc case Of the United

sugar importers in this City and Baltimore are
largely interested This decision determines
controversy VII CD has been some time pending be-
tween the sugar importers aud the Government.
arising from the fact that sugars from the West
Indies almost invariably suffer great diminu;ion in
quantity from drainage during the voyage OF i'm

Sugar upon which duty is paid, only ninetyfive

Messrs. Southmayd, the weight OF the Sugar as
shipped at Porto Rico, was proved at the trial to
be l9l,7lO pounds Spanish its actual weight at

Correspondence of The Tribune


NEw.HAvEs, Wednesday, May SPIN.
In the election of L. S. Senator, the Free Sellers
hold the balance of power. But even with their
succeed in the election of Baldwin for it so hap.
pens that in this State the two Houses vote sepa.
rately in the election of Senator instead of voting
in joint ballot; and the Senate is at present too
strongly Loco to give a majority for Wing candi.
date, even though he has passed the House. So it
stands till a week hence.
In regard to the subject Of temperance, you may
rest assured that the Loco Foco legislature will not
comply with the recommendation Of their oco- Foco
Governor to change might have said, abolish
the license laws. They have too much respect for
the people, 10 break down the only legal barrier
which now protects them from the ravages of Al.
eohoL AT the same time, they feel it necessary 10
take some notice Of suggestion which has come
nom the Governor OF their own making. in orlar
to save themselves from ths charge of passing il
by in contempt. If therefore any action is taken
upon the subject, middle course will be pursued
ana the question will be referred to the people to
be decided by them at the polls-a course which
viii without doubt prove fatal 10 the policy Of the
Governor.
Arrangements will probably be made by the
present Legislature for framing new Constiru
ton The present one is thirty years old and is
thought to need a thorough revision. The inc.
quality ofrepresen,ation as regulated by ii appears
quite remarkable. Notwithstanding the treat
change IN the population of the several towns of the
State, no corresponding change has been made in
the ratio OF representation. Each town sends the
same number of Members 10 the Legislature as
originally so that some OF the smallest towns
hav, more Representatives than some ofthe largest.
and such cities as New Haven and Hartford have
TO more votes IN the Legislature than other towns
with less than one-tenth oftheir population.
