Once / knew little maiden,
Blooming as if fresh from Alden,
And she sat beside the door;
Then she smiled, ah such sweet smiling
Then she spoke, ah words beguiling'
Never heard / such be fore.
Once, but once again I met her
Would that I could quite forget her
And / sat beside the door
And her little foot was tapping,
And her little foot was rapping,
Tapping on the parlor floor.
Did she smile /? Oh, never smiled she,
Did shespeak? Nomore beguiled she
With the words she spoke before.
With frown her brow was couIded
With frown her eye was shrouded
Closed her lips forevermore.
VIII she no more smile upon me
Will she thus forever shun me
/ Shall sit beside the door
Sea her little foot thus rapping-
Sec hor little foot thus tapping.
Ever on the parlor floor
Tell me, tell me, gentle maiden,
If thou art indeed from Alden
From that bright, seraphic shore
Have thy smiles forever vanished

From thine eyes forevermore

~ The following interesting anec-
dote comes to us as true;
A tnaaa having a large family fannd
it rather hard togkvep the tables and
has adopted the following plan!
At evening just beforea sdppcrs he
calls his children round him ana ad-
dressed them thus
"Who'll take cent, and do withoat
his supper 7"
II! I! IL" exhlaim the children
eager to get the prize.
The old man pulls out pocket book
full Of red cents which he keeps for the
occasion, and after giving them one
apiece, sends them off to bed.
Next morning they look like starved
Arabs. The old man calls them
roand him and with an air of gravity
asks
Who'll give cent to have nice
warm biscuit for breakfast p
It is needless to say that tho cents
were forthcoming. Good plan.

Negotiations in regard to San Juan affair
are progressing slowly.
The proposition recently submitted to our
government by Great Britain upon q basis
which she thought would be acceptable to the
U. s., by yielding our night to the Island and
fixing the boundary so as to include other Dor-
tons Of Her Majesty's territory which we do
not now claim, but which are worthless, was
replied to and positively declined.
Mr.. Branch will oppose the organization of
new Territories, and moved an amendment to
the Utah bill giving the Presidents of the q.
8. power to appoint Territorial Legislators, as
was the custom prior to 1885 This viii cut
up all the difficulties by the root.
If the new Territories should be organized,
elections for delegates will be ordered. Dele
gates elected prior to tho existence Of the Ter
ritories, could not claim seats in Congress.

FROM PHILADELPHIA.


The members of the Councils of Pittsburgh ap.
peared before the Supreme Court to-day, to answer
to perempIOry maDdamus commanding them TO
make provision for the payment Of the interest up
on the bonds issued BY Pittsburgh as g subscrlp-
tion to the ChartTes Valley R. R. Co.
The return made by members Of the Select
Council states that the ordinance was passed lay
ing tax on four aud quarter mills, March 18th,
aud sent to the Common Council for concurrence.
Five members of the Common Council returned
willingness to vote for the tax, but say they have
had no opportunity, the majority Of said Council
being opposed TO the assessment. No action
could be had, and no provision had been made
for the assessment. The return from the mem
bers who have refused to obey the mandamus,
states that they are not advised Of the amount
of interest due and have no record or means of
ascertaining the same; that acting upon the
several oaths of Office they cannot, in conss-
quence, undertake to levy and assess tax up
on their constituents, against their own judgN
ment and without the consent of the people
they represent; that they cannot in any way
control the action Of the co ordinate branch Of
the city government, and have found It unne-
cessary in the exercise of their trust to differ
with said branch, and that they cannot obey the
mandate of court under such circumstances as
would deprive them Of The exercise Of their free
judgment in the premises. The undersigned,
protesting however, their entire willingness and
earnest desire in case these opinions are sup
posed to be inconsistent with their duties
under the writ to surrender their trust to their
constituents, to be delegated anew at their
pleasure, to such persons as may eonscientiousy
accept Of it upon such terms as may enable
them TO conform to the order of the court in
the premises.
Various answers were filed, but no action
was had BY the court
