ST. Louis, May 2.-The Cairo correspon-
dent of the Journal writes as follows: We
have been able to ascertain the main point,
of the conversation between Gen. Buckner,
Senator johnson, Of Kentucky, and Col.
Prentiss which consists of additional guar
antees on the part OF the former that Ken
lucky was determined to maintain a neu-
trail position, and that she would not allow
Confederate troops to cross her soil to in
wade any Northern S3&te, nor countenanee
organizing any portion of her citizens for
that purpose. Ia return she required guar
antees on the part of the authorities of this
State that her territory should suffer no in
vasion from Illinois troops. They protested
against the blockade of rivers at this point,
claiming that the jurisdiction of Kentucky
extended to the Illinois shore. Nothing
but munitions Of war, under the present
status, will be interfered with.

In FOR THE JoB.-We were much pleased
with remark made by a volunteer on Sat
urday. A squad of them were debating as
to the probable length of their enlistment.
One was hoping the war would last year;
another wished the government would clean
out the South in a month and others ex-
pressed themselves in various ways and de-
string various terms for the continuance of
the war. One solid looking fellow said,
" Well, boys, l don't care whether the war
last five years or one month, Tee enlisted for
the job Ind Journal

LOOK FOR THE CoMET.-A communica-
ton from Harvard Observatory announces
that the comet is growing brighter and is
already visible to the naked eye near the
tail of Drocco. 1t will pass across the
Great Bear, and will be near the bowl "
and the Dipper in eight or nine days. But
the most remarkable fact about the comet is
that it will on the 18th of May be almost
exactly where the earth had been on Friday,
the 18th inst, so that if its perihelion pas
sage were "a days earlier, the earth would
pass through the body of the comet.

tain of success--hcnco the great necessity
Of being thoroughly trained and d'sci.

obedience to every command of his supc
rior, soldiers first duty. You are now
enlisted in the most glorious work man
can be engaged in-thc defense of youI
country, and consequently of your gov.
crnment, your fresides and homes. OI
all the great heroes the history of the
past presents to our view, none are re.
corded in brighter letters, or more glow

their lives in defense of their country.
Then 90 ye forth citizen soldiers, from

try town, from the Pine Tree State, re.
Incmbering that you will live in our
hearts, will always be present in our
thoughts; and if you fall, your memory
shall grow green as the years roll on.
Captain Harvey, officers and soldiers
we thank you heartily for this visit, and
for the privileges of this occasion. 1t We
have done deed or said word to cheer
your hearts we are glad of it-if We
have done aught to cause unpleasant feel
ings We deeply regret it. We yield to
none the palm of greater interest in this
work, or deeper respect than for those
who 90 forth to fight our battles for U.s.
And, my friends this is an interest and
respect that is entitled to consideration
from every man that would be known as
true triem to the cause.
And now in the name of the people
that have come up here at this time to
welcome you-in the name of liberty
and hope and lawn the name of hu-
manity and all its clustering associations
in the name of the great God of Bat
ties, whose mighty arm divided the wa
ters of the Red Seal bid you God
Speed, and wish you safe and happy re-
turn.
After the speech came another new
song, "Glory Hallelujah" or the "Old
John Brown" song, which stirred the
blood of patriotism in every heart. We
noticed a new stanza, as follows -
"Our Topsfeld boys are going to the wars;
Our Carroll boys are going 10 the wars;
Our Springfield boys are going to the wars;
Well cheer them on their way.
After a bcnediction, Captains Harvey
and Merrill marshallcd their respective
forces on the street, where cheers were
given and repeated for each other until
the welkin rang again. Captain Harvey $
volunteers however, came out ahead,
their lungs evidently having had much
practice of late in that line. 1t was an
occasion long to be remembered by our
townspcople, and, the soldiers of the
Springfield Company of Volunteers.

THE COFFIN.
A Sea sketch.

Durin, the summer of 1914 the Brit
ish had not only laid claim to all that
portion of the district Of Maine lying
east of the Penobscot, but Admiral Crit
fifth and Sir John Sherbrooke, the lat
ter bcin. then the Governor of Nova
Scotia, had been sent with a hsavy force
to take possession, and had occupied the
town of Castine, which place commanded
the entrance to the Penobscot river
Shortly before the arrival of the English
Squadron, Commodore Samuel Tucker
had been sent around to Penobscot Bay
to protect the American coasters there !;
and while the British sailed up to Cas-
tine, he lay with his vessel at Thomas
tom
1t was schooner the Commodore
commanded, but she was heavy
one, heavily manned. and that she carried
the true Yankee grit upon her decks, the
enemy had received too many proofs. On
the morning of the 2Sth Of August. a
messenger came down from Belfast with
the intelligence that the British trigate
was coming from Castine to take him.
Commodore Tucker knew that the
British feared him, and that Sir John
Sherbrooke had offered large amount for
his capture.
When the commodore received the in
tclligcnce his vessel was lying at one OF
the low wharves, where he would have to
wait nearly two hours for the tide to set
him off; but he hastened to have every
thing prepared to get off as soon as possi-
Bile for he had no desire to meet the frig-
ate.
The schooncrs keel had just cleared
the mud, and one of the men had been
sent upon the wharf to cast off the bow
line, when wagon, drawn by one horse,
came rattling down to the SPOT. The
driver, rough looking countryman, got
out upon the wharf, and then assisted a
middle aged lady from the vehicle. The
ladys first inquiry was for Commodore
Tucker lie was pointed out to her, and
she stepped upon the deck and approached
him.
"Commodorc," she asked, "when dc
you sail from here?'
Right off, as soon as possible, mad
am"
"Oh, then, you will be kind to me, thu
lady urged, in persuasive tones. "M,
poor husband died yesterday, and wist
to carry his corpse to Wiscasset, where
we belong, and where his parents viii
take good care of it,"
But my good woman, l shan't so tt
