Where the rose and violet bloom, ....
Where the air, through the long days Of summer,
Grows heavy with sweet perfume
Where the sunbeams lie slant on the oak leaves,
And the birds sing songs Of joy,
You may read on the marble maidstone,
The name of our dark-eyed boy.
Only two summers the starlight
Beamed from his beautiful eyes;
Only two summers he wandered
From the distant Paradise d..
Only two summers We made him p. 81.
A thing of the purest joy, ---.

On the brow of our dark-eyed boy.
knew when saw him smiling,
The smile to another was given;
knew that some white winged seraph
Had brought him glimpse Of Heaven;
/ knew that his home would be ever
Where bliss is without alloy,
But knew too, alas how lonely
Would our home be without the boy.
Out on the beautiful prairie
Dust hath returned unto dust,
And time hath taught me a lesson
OF faith and holy trust: 5-

GEN. KNox's MARRIAGE-Somebody wr-
ting to the Progressive Age, incident in the
life of General Knox, relates the following /:
The Generals marriage was something of
a romantic affair, and is said to have hap
pened somewhat in this wise:
As Miss Lucy Fluker was walking out
one day, she saw young Knox, (who was a
bookbinder in Boston at the time, and as
she fancied his personal appearance, she was
ssmitten" with him. She could not suppress
her feelings, end SO gave vent to them by
writing note as soon as she reached her
home, requesting him to call and see her,
Throwing aside her feminine reserve, she at
once proposed that he should marry her.
The proffer was at once accepted, and the
poor book-binder became the husband of the
rich heiress. -.

should make some briet remarks as to oul
rights and duties as member of the great
Family of Nations. In our intercourse with
them, there are some plain principles appros ed
by our own experience from which we should
never depart We ought to cultivate peace
commerce and friendship with all nations, and
this not merely as the best means of promoting 9
our own national interest, but in spirit Of
Christian benevolence toward fellow men
wherever their lot may be cast. Our diplo.
macy should be direct and frank, neither seek.
ing to obtain more. nor accepting less. than is
our due. We oLght to cherish sacred regard
for the independence of all nations and never
attempt to interfere in the domestic concerns
OF any, unless this shall be imperatively re-
qured by the great law of selfpreservation.
To avoid entangling alliances has been a
VI ever Slllce UdyS OF
Washington, and its wisdom no one will attempt
to dispute In short we ought to do Justice in
kindly spirit to all nations, and require jus.
tice from them in return. 1t is our glory that
while other nations have extended their do
miniOns by the sword, we have never acquired
any territory except by fair purchase, or, as in
the case of Texas, by the voluntary determine
tiOn of brave kindred, and Independent peo-
pie to blend their destines with our own. Even
our acquisitions from Mexico form no exception.
Unwilling to take advantage of the fortune Of
war against sister Republic, We purchased
these possessions under the treaty of peace for a
sum which was considered at the time a fair
equivalent. Our past history forbids that we
shall in the future acquire territory unless this
be sanctioned by the laws of justice and honor
Acting on this principle, no nation will have a
right to interfere or to complain if in the pro-
gress of events we shall still further extend our
possessions. Hitherto, in all our acquisitions,
the people under the protection of the Ameri-
can flag have enjoyed civil and religious liber-
ty, as well'as equal and just laws, and have been
oontented, prosperous and happy. Their trade
with the rest of the world has rapidly increased,
and thus every commercial nation has shared
largely in their successful progress I shall
now proceed to take the oath prescribed by the
Constitution, while humbly invoking the bless
ing of divine Providence on this great people,

We print in another place the New Tariff
as it reached us last night from Washington,
but do not consider it reliably free from typ
Ographcal errors. Its most important
changes are as follows:

brandy and all distilled spirits, with cordials
of all kinds, is reduced from 100 per cent.
ad valorem to 80 per cent.
Schedule B-Wines, cigars and all manu-
factures oftobacco, raisins, sweetmeats, &C.,
&c, is reduced from 40 to 30 per cent. Ma
hogany, satinwood, &C., are reduced from 40
to pr cent.
Schedule C-Iron, woolens, &C., &C., is re-
duced from 30 to "a per cent. All bleached,
printed or dyed cottons are transferred to
this schedule, making the duty thereon "a
per cent, instead of 25 as at present.
Schedule .D-Flannels, carpets. baizes, ca
bles and cordage, hemp and hempen manu-
factures, manufactures of silk, &C., &C., is
reduced from 25 to 19 rer cent.
Schedule E-All manner of timber or lum-
Der, manufactures of copper, furs on the
skin, paper hangings, oranges and lemons,
periodicals, skins, velvet, &C., is reduced

ed; wool costing less than twenty cents per
pound, brass, copper, and most drugs and
chemicals used in manufacturing, being add

BRIDGE Across THE MISSISSIPPI AT ST..
LoUis.-The St. Louis Republican says this
bridge will be built. A day or two since
Mr.. Bissell, the engineer, reported to meet
ing of the corporators and citizens, that the
estimates for the bridge at St. Louis amounts
to 81 ,224, 900. A liberal margin for contin-
gencies was added, amounting to $27 ,OOO.-
One item of $100, 900 in the estimate is for
preparing the foundation on the Illinois side.
The Republican says the enterprise is deem
ed entirely feasible, profitable and indispen-
sible, and that subscriptions to the stock
were opened at once, after the report of the
engineer.

We shall meet no mere as we met of yore,
In the days of our girlish pride,
And the songs We sing no more viii ring
Where Missisco's waters glide.
We shall sit no more in the cottage door,
That stands on the brow Of the hill.
Oh young and fair, as saw you there,
think see you still.
Though a change has come over you and all
Since We took the parting hand,
Though you are away on the Golden Shore,
And l, in prairie land;
Though memory now recalls no vow,
know your heart is true,
And mine-Oh, wish you knew how well,
1t has kept its love for you.
Ysur home, they say, o'erlooks the bay,
Where the white sail'd ships foat free;
Iwatch to-day the winding way
OF the beautiful Kish-wau-kee--
And think how the waves of the far of bay,
And those Of the river free,
Are gliding On to meet at last,
In the depths of some great sea.
And so it may be we shall meet,
When the voyage Of life is Ger,
And the broken chain be bound again
Away on the other shore.

Everybody who makes good bargain or
suddenly gets rich, is regarded as a lucky
man. Such may be the case, and such may
not; it depends altogether upon the use one
makes of his wealth. But the "lucky one"
usually congratulates himself let others do
do as they may. We have, however, an ex-
ception to this rule, in DR.. HUMPHREY, who, in
writing from Chicago to the New York Evan
gelist, refers to one of the great hazards of
his life:
"How marvellous has been the rise of pro-
perty in Chicago! Happening to be here
in the summer of 1889, when the Dearborn
reservation was brought into market, bought
two smallo Its, and sold them about seven or
eight years ago for $4,000, which was thought
to be a fair price. Now the new Richmond
Hotel, one of the finest in Chicago, stands on
the same ground, which am assured would,
if had kept it to this time, have brought
me $50, 600. So you see how narrowly
have escaped being a rich man; and rearing
my boys, had they been young, to rely upon
my fortune, and rot upon their own industry,
economy and good behavior. l slept upon
the premises last night, at fair hotel charge;
and without being kept awake a moment in
think ng of what had lost"
We insert this anecdote for the comfort of
such persons in St. Paul as have failed to
make themselves rich by buying and selling
real estate. Millions are saved from ruin by
failing to become milliOnGires

SrRAx Saw MILL FOR CAMBRIpGE.-We

STRAIN Saw MILL FOR CAMBRIDGE.-We
noticed day or two since on the Levee
. splendid encine and fixtures for a steam
saw-mill complete, designed for the flourish
ing town of Cambridge, the county seat of
lsanti county. The engine is Of some 40 horse
power, and attached to it is lath and turn
ing machine for the making of chairs, bed
steads, &C., and planning machine, and other
fixtures. A mill Tor grinding corn and feed
will be run in connection with the saw mill
as the machinery is now here.
The timber in the country around Cam
bridge is of the best and finest description.
Walnut, white and black maple, poplar, ash,
oak, elm, &C., of the largest growth abound
in the vicinity, and chair and bedstead
shop here will find the best of material.
In addition to this, the, southern bonnd-
airy of the pine region extends near Cam
bridge, thus affording an inexhaustible and
cheap supply of lumber. AS all the country
back of the town, most Of which is settled
and cultivated, will look to Cambridge for
their lumber, the amount of business to be
done by this mill can be foreseen, as well as
its Importance to that region of the country.
The mill will be put in operation as speed
lily as possible. There is much good land
subject to presumption, it not being within the
district withdrawn for railroad purposes.
Now that lumber can be procuredit will set.
tie rapidly. Few sections of Minnesota offer
greater inducements to the settler than this,
both on account of the good land, and the
never failing good market in the Pinery for
farm produce.

New YORK, Aug. Z.
Justice Davidson, this morning, proceeded
to No. 81 Bond street, in company with Mr..
Stafford, counsellor for the accused, to make
judicial examination of Mrs. Cunningham.
Reporters were not admitted.
It is reported that DR.. Uhl would be bro't
before the Academy of Medicine, in October,
for examination on the charge of revealing
professional secrets. He denies that Mrs.
Cunningham confded to him medical &C.
cret, and will not shrink from an examina-
ton.
Mrs. Cunningham made an affidavit to
the effect that she wac innocent of charge

present unable, from illness, to explain

question of committal till to-marrow. The
daughters have left the house No. 81, Bond

THE CITY.

ArrExPrKD INcENDIARsN!- On Monday
evening, about ten o'clock, an alarm Of fire
was raised near the corner Of Roberts and
Fourth sts., and on examination, the privy
in the rear of R. G. Sharpe's Hardware store
was discovered to be stuffed full Of shavings
and conclusive materials, and burning bright
~. A few buckets full Of water put out the
fire.
This seems to have been q deliberate at.
tempt to fire the buildings on that street.
Had it not been discovered in time, probably
$l5O,OOO worth of property would have been
destroyed, as the buildings on both sides Of
tho street for whole square, were frame,
with one or two exceptions.
There can be no doubt but it was the work
OF one Of the numerous gangs of desperadoes
and burglars now said to be in our midst, for
the purposes of robbiug and plumber, as at
the fire on st. Anthony street. We do not
wonder that our citizens are beginning to agi
tate Vigilance Committees.

The st. Anthony Papers are indignant be
cause we river reporters of the Saint Paul
press have neglected to state that boats do
run up to St. Anthony. We hasten to make
the correction, and state, for the benefit OF
the world who don't need the st. Anthem,
papers, that boat called the Harmonic lust
week arrived to within about four hundred
yards of the ''levee" at that village, where
she struck a rock in the channel, and lay. at
has been customary says the Express, ''for
boats when nearing the levee, to take short
cut across, and not follow up the channel p
We should suppose this good policy, if tho-e
small hindrances lie in the channel. This cut
ting across process must be quite han
dy.
But if our Falls friends cannot have navi-
CATION reach them be'ow the falls, they are
going to secure the minopoly above. By the
same paper we learn that through the ex-
ertions of Mr.. Il. E. B. Nash, a subscription
to the amount of $4,000 has been raised
among the bushes men of the place to be
applied toward dredging the channel of the
river above that city. There are only two
or three places on the river where it is diff
cult for boats to pass, and those it is said can
easily be made navigable. When this project
is complete it is supposed boats can run on
the river during the entire navigable season.
Glad to hear it :: as in another part of the
same paper it is stated that above-the
falls packets, the II. NJ. Rice, North Star,
and Enterprise are at present laid up at the
levee in St. Anthony, the river being too low
to permit their running They have done
good business this season. and it is to be no.
ped there may be sufficient rise in the rv-
er to allow of their running sufficient length
of time to get the fall freight to the towns
above.
