Ministering seraphs then whisper gentle
words of consolation and counsel-words and
thoughts, by the way, which will live while our
language lives. The whole of this part of the
Poem, including the prayer of Hilda, the vision,
the melodious paraphrase of our Lords words,
and the whisperings of angels, is full of beauty,
and seems "set to empyreal music"
Further notice of this remarkable production
we forbear, our purpose being merely to intro
duce to our readers a Poem, rarely equalled
for power of expression, nobleness of senti-
ment, depth of pathos, and beauty of imagery

applicants for bounty land, under the new law,
is, so far, 1882 and it is expected they will

are being issued each day, and it is expected
they will soon be issued at the rate of 500 pei

Barnum has at his museum in New York a
very fine baby show. We presume that Bar
mum purposely provoked upon this show, and
upon himself the abuse of the New York papers,
which, for the purposes of notoriety, is just as
good as their praise, and may cost something
less in some instances He has quite number
of twins and triplets exhibition; at least each
set of babies look alike, and are for the time at
least claimed by the same mother.

ferment of revolution, in consequence of the
arrival of an emissary of Santa Anna at Mon
terey, with orders to arrest aud put to death
several of the leading citizens. The Governor
was forced to surrender, and the lives of the
victims were spared. The insurgents made a
demonstration upon the town, and the Gov
ernor fled. Matamoras dates to the 18th ult.
state that the revolutionists in San Luis Potos
had issued a pronunciamento, and troops were
preparing to leave Matamoras to quell the in
surrection. Chihuahua is reported as on the
eve Of revolution.

From the Baltimore Sun.

The LYNCHING OF PHILLIPS has been disa-
vowed and denounced in the severest terms by
the citizens of Weston, Mo-, at town meeting
cailed.for the purpose by the Mayor, and presi-
ded over by him. The Weston Reporter saws !:
ave have been credibly informed that those
ten or twelve persons from Leavenworth, who
were engaged in lynching Phillips, with one or
two exceptions, have not n dollars worth of in
terest in the town, and are merely temporary
residents there-young men without families,
who may or may not remain there"
No one at all acquainted with the general sub
ject of Negro Slavery can well suppress a smile
ON reading the above statement, so innocently
put forth. If it were left to the owners of slave
property to defend that property and the "pecu-
liar institution under which it is protected.
how impotent would prove that protection.
In the slave as in the free States, it is the par
asites, the sycophants, the "toadies of the
Slave Power, that are ever its most vehement
defenders aud propagandists. Far sooner would
we trust to the magnanimity of the most deeply
interested slave-owners of the South, in any
emergency, than to these cringing fawners North
and South, whose coward fear of being suspect
ed of opposition to Slavery makes them over
jealous and bloody-minded in their champion
ship of it.

KNOW NOTHING NATIONAL CONVENTION
Apubic banquet was given, on Thursday last, to
the delegates to this Convention. 1t was given.
as the cards of admission say, by the Mayor and
citizens of Philadelphia, and was presided over
by Mayor Conrad in person. There were some
four hundred and fifty guests present, including
ALL or nearly all, the delegates then in the city.
The after-dinner speeches were without sim
gle exception, Union-saving speeches. A Pro-
Slavery Know Nothing paper in New York,
says:
"Not speck of Abolitionism exhibited itself.
There was dead set made upon Massachu-
sets and her two prominent delegates-Senator
Wilson and Gov. Gardner-to come forward and
expose their hands but, to use no more often
sive> term, they lodged the responsibility, and
declined to respond to the challenge. At length,
another delegate, Mr.. Ely, responded for the
State of Massachusetts, declaring her to be sound
on the Constitution and the Union, and ultra
sound on Native American principles"
The paper we quote adds, that :" the whole af.
fair is highly important and suggestive" as no
doubt it is

AS his master will not be likely to give him
