LITTLE EFFIE.
Where the willow leaves are laying
In the silyery brook,
And the graceful branches waving
Der the flow'ry nook a
There they laid their Efie,
When her spirit fed
And the youthful mother watches
Nightly DER her bed.
Every she sadly murmus,
Come again to me
Earth hath lost its joy aud brightness,
While weep for thee!n
And her lonely tears falling
Where the night-dews rest,
Ger the grave Of little Eaie,-
EfAe, loved and best!
When the Autumn leaves fading,
And the winds blew chill.
To that mother came whisper
All her grief to still.
Round her heart glories brighter
Than the skies above,
And she found precious treasure
In the Sayior's love. MARILLA.

Claims against Foreign Governments,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The President sent
into the Senate, to-day, message showing the
condition of the unsettled claims against for
eign governments. Some of the chief claims
are the following: Capt. William Webster
against Great Britain, for over Sc, 100000, for
loss and indemnity for lands purchased from
New Zealand chief, and of which he was dis
possessed by English officers Capt. J. W.
Perkins, of Worcester, Mass, for 1886, 900
against Russia, charged with violation Of con-
tract for arms furnished during the Crimean
war. There are claims against France, and
against Spain there Is a very long account, in
volving nearly 81 ,OOO,O for alleged violations
Of contracts. Nearly all the countries in Eu-
rope, and in the East, in Mexico, and South
America, have formidable list of accounts to
settle with this Government. Many millions

pending 40 years

Lost OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES at Sea,

Chids of Dennis, Capt Nickerson, was struck,
on the 26th ult, off Bermuda by heavy sea,
and Capt. N. washed overheard Mr.. Chase,
the mate, and a seaman named Clark, went in
the boat to his assistance, but were unable to
save him.
Meantime the schooner drifted away so that
the boat was unable to overtake her Chase
and Clark remained in the boat five days with
out food or water and were finally rescued by
the barque Holbrook, from Portland for Ha-
vana. There were only three boys, who
knew little of navigation, left on board the
schooner but as she was on the track of num-
erous vessels, but little fears are felt for her
safety. The Luther Childs was from Phladel-
phia for ST. Kits, with cargo of lumber.
