POEM.
By ALBERT PIKE.


The ancient wrong rules many land whose groans
Climb, swarming, to the stars by day and night.
Ihronging with piteous clamor, round the thrones
II Where the archangels sit, in Gods great light,
And pitying, mourn to see that wrong still reigns
And tortured nations rest beneath their chains.
For Hungary and France fierce cries go up, l5z,s
. And q beat against the portals Of the skies o
Fair Italy still drinks the bitter cup, '"4
And Germany in abject stupor lies a..
The knout on Poand's bloody shoulders rings -s
And Time is all one jubilee Of kings ~.l
1t will not be so always. Through the night
The suffering mnltitudes with Joy descry
Beyond the ocean great becon light
Flashing its beams into their starless sky, '
And teaching them to Struggle and be free
The light of order, law and liberty IiGf3 ~
Take heed, ye bleeding nations, and your chains
e Shall shiver like thin glass. The dawn is near e
When Earth shall feel through all her aged veins
The new blood flushing, and her drowsy ear
Hail Freedoms trumpet ringing in the sky;
Calling her braves to conquer or to die. 81
Arm, arm ye for the struggle let the stays
Against the lordly lions stand at bay.
Each pass ThermopylH, and all the crags -
Young Freedoms fortresses And soon the day
| Shall come when right shall rule, and round tn
i- thrones Ae .t25"3s sf'a '.2'' ''s '.n!s'
That girt Gods feet shall eddy no more groans.a

VALUABLE PRESENCE OF MND-A Dayton paper
relates the following incident which occurred during
recent night trip on the Indiana Central Railroad
Both the night trains, the Eastern and Western,
were out Of time and were obliged to keep look out
for each other, but the locomotive of the train bound
east was unprovided with lantern and hence on the
part of its officers more than ordinary precaution was
necessary. In this dilemma the conductor took his
own lantern, and went on ahead, the train following
slowly behind. The conductor was some distance in
advance, when by an accident his lantern went out
just his was struck by the noise Of the western
train rapidly approaching. r." lrO
In this dilemma what was to be done? The night
was SO dark that he could not be seen, and he was
certain that he should not be able to raise his voice
above the bowling Of the wind and the noise of the
passing train to attract the attention of the engi
His first resort was club He eseized one and
threw it at the locomotive, now close upon him. but
the wooden missile glanced off from the iron Of the
engine without making noise perceptibe even to
himself. The train was flashing past Even while he
drew his next breath the lives of hundreds might be
put in peril. But one thing could be done, and the
thought of it occurred to him. Taking his own Ian
term he hurled it at the lantern of the passing locomo
tive, just as it came opposite to him. The crashing
glass; and the extinguishmen of light startled the en-
gineer. A sharp whistle was heard, the brakes were
shut down, and the train stopped Everybody was SAFE
when but for the throwing of that lucky lantern,
scores might have been killed and wounded.

President Pierce has directed that the ex-oficio
superintendency of Indian affairs in the Territory Of
Minnesota be discontinued and the supervision of the
Indians and Indian agents there transferred to the
northern superintendency, the Office Of the latter
being, by the same order, removed from Milwaukee to
St. Paul. This movement will ensure mere inmedi-
ate and energetic action in Minnesota and will also have
salutary tendency in preserving the public interest,"
and at the time taking better care of the Indians
With such supervsiGn doubtless the policy of set
Ting the Indians in reservations will be pursued more
vigorously. The abandonmentof Wisconsin as field
of operations, is indicative of the rapid progress Of
our country. It will probably not be many years be
fore Minnesota will be abandoned in like manner as 6

1t is stated that a fleet of 240 vessels, under the
English flag, and commanded by Admiral Lyons will
enter the Baltic as as its waters are open the
coming spring. This fleet will be, it is said more
formidable in propulsiye power and armament than
any which has ever before fioated on any sea, and
great events expected to be accomplished by it.
1t is said that if this fleet aided by French squad
ron should not prove adequate to the destruction of
the tremendous Russian forts in the Baltic, they will
at any rate be able to destroy every ship lying be-
neah the guns of those forts. This would be blow

Why THE GAS GOES Our IN COLD WEATHER-Mr.
Douglas, Secretary of the New York Gas Regulator
Company, writes letter to the press to tell the pub
lie why the gas fails in cold weather, and the remedy
therefor. He says:
When the frost strikes the pipe, in crossing under
iron gratings, from the sidewalk, or in alleyWays
making kind Of crystalzation OF gause-work like a
spderweb; and where the pipe is not too large, will
completely stop the flow of gas. This network is
similar to spider-web In most instances, it can be
thawed out by simply holding flame from newspa-
per or from torch of pine wood and ALCOHOL upon a
Shovel to it; it WILL in a few minutes, be entirely
free. All wet metres should be filed with alcohol i'm
medately. If not done, pipes crossing upon open
passages should be boxed, or covered with wooden
coverings.
