THE OMNIBUS.

EVELYN HOPE.
Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead
Sit and watch by her side an hour.
That is her bookshelf, this her bed;
She plucked that piece of geranium-fower,
Beginning to die, too, in the glass:
Little has been changed, | think
The shutters are shut, no light may pass,
Save two long rays through the hinges chink.
Sixteen years old when she died
Perhaps she had scarcely heard my name,
1t was not her time to love; BESIDES
Her life had many hope and aim,
Duties enough and little cares,
~. And now was quiet now astir-
Till Gods hand beckoned unawares,
And the sweet white brow is all Of her.
Is it too late then, Evelyn Hope?
What your soul was pure and true,
The good stars met in your horoscope,
Made your spirit fire and dew

And Just because was twice as old,
And our paths in the world diverged SO wide,
Each was naught to each, must [ be told?
We were fellow mortals naught beside?

Delayed it may be for more lives yet,
Through worlds shall traverse not few
Much to learn and much to forget
Ere the time be come for taking you.
But the time will come-at last it will,
When, Evelyn Hope, what meant, shall say,
In the lower earth, in the years long STILL
That body and soul SO pure and gay!
Why your hair amber shall divine,
And your mouth of your own geranium's red
And what you would do with me, in fine,
In the new life come in the old ones stead.

Given up myself so many times
Gained me the gains of various men,
Ransacked the ages spoiled the chimes,
Yet thing, one, in my souls full scope,
Either I missed or itself missed me
And want and find you, Evelyn Hope!
What is the issue? let us see.

The President on his Policy.

WASHINGTON. ,Julv IL. 1877

Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial, (Rep. j
WASHINGTON, July Is, 1857
Conversing with a friend recently on political
topics, the President said that during the entire
seven months intervening between the surrender
of the rebel armies and the assembling of Con-
gress, while he was not only inaugurating, but
fully carrying out, his ''policy" of reconstruc-
ton, he did not receive a single remonstrance
from any of the republican leaders who are now
clamorous for his impeachment, and who pro-
nounce his policy the gravest misdemeanor of
his administration itself an Improbable Of
fence He saw many of these gentlemen be-
tween April and December, 1865, and with one
accord they told him to 60 on with the work of
reconstruction in the line he had marked out );
or, as he says, had continued from Mr.. Lincoln
Pointing to recent speech of Senator Trumbull
in the 'sGlobe, he said that explained the whole
thing Mr.. TrumbuH had declared in his re-
marks on the supplemental reconstruction bill
of this session that if the Southern States gov
ernments inaugurated by the President had
sent loyal men to Congress all would have been
WE'LL and there would have been no necessity
for Congressional interference. ssThat is" said
Mr.. johnson, 'sif they had sent Radicals here
it would have been all right. AS to the ques-
ton of the loyalty of congressman sent here,
that had nothing to do with the State govern
ments. If they were disloyal they should have
sent them back, but they need not have torn
down the States on that account" When it was
suggested to the President that the appoint
ment of provisional governors might be the basis
of one Of the articles Of impeachment against
him, if such were ever pretended, he replied,
'Well, | wonder who is to be impeached for
appointing me provisional Governor of Tennes-
see. When | came into Office. found four
States already organized, All I did in the case
of Virginia was to move Peirpoint from Alex
andria to Richmond. [ had nothing to do in
Louisiana but let them go ahead, and the same
in Arkansas.
In the same conversation the President allud-
ed to his resignation as Senator to accept the
provisional governorship as great sacrifice, not
of money, but of position, for, !" said he,
there is no position in the country as high as
that OF Senator. 1t is twenty times better than
the empty honors of this White House, that so

MILITARY ARREST,

On Friday evening, 26th ult about six O clock.
squad OF Federal soldiers six in number, headed
by Michael Graham. citizen living near Mt
jackson, arrested Joseph S. Penny hacker, at the
residence of his father, D. Pennybacker ESQ,
living on LinvilPs Creek in this county. They
had authority from 1t. Hall, commanding at
Woodstock, within the bounds of whose commits
sion Rockingham is included. The house of Mr..
u. Penny hacker was searched without authority
Jos. Pennybacker, for whom they were looking,
was in the harvest field, and seeing them coming.
met them. He was taken to Winchester, we un-
derstand.
He is charged with having killed Patrick Sher-
idan, connected with the U. S. Burial Corps. in
a melee in Harrison burg, on the 18th day of May
last. On the 10Th jury was summoned to hold
an inquest oyer the body of Sheridan. After a
tedious and impartial Investigation of all the facts
of the Casa number of witnesses having depos-
ed-and at which several u. S. officers including
Col Reed and Maj. Camp, were present, YER
dict was unanimously agreed upon that Sheri-
strument in the hands of some one to the Jury
unknown. All parties who heard the evidence
concurred in the opinion that the investigation
was impartial, and the verdict strictly in accord
ance with the evidence.
This being the case, we were much surprised to
hear of the arrest of Mr. Penny hacker by military
authority, after the return of the jury Of inquest
NO complaint has ever reached us that the least
partIallty or injustice was shown by the Jury
On the contrary, the verdict was the only one
that could have been given from the evidence ad-
duced Such was the expressed opinion of one
OF the officers present. What course will be pur-
sued with Mr.. Penny hacker, we have not been
informed
We learn that the same squad of soldiers had
warrant from 1t Hall, for the arrest of Jacob
Aeker, living in the same vicinity. He was not
to be found. The grounds of the warrant we
presume, are that Mr.. Acker as we have been
informed, a few weeks since, severely whipped
Mr.. Graham in consequence of some former i'll
feeling between them. Graham had been a Con-
federate soldier, deserted, and became a scout
through the Valley for the Federal army
We learn that Graham told old Mr. Acker that
he intended to burn his property, and not leave a
be hung to the first limb if he was found
Such, we are informed, are the facts of this ex-
traordnary proceeding.

"The Mourner a la Mode" "

I saw her last night at q party
(The elegant party at Mead's, - sSAs9 =
And looking remarkably hearty
For widow so young in her weeds;
Yet Il know she was suffering sorrow
Too deep for the tongue to express
Or why had she chosen to borrow
Somuch from the Language of dress?
Her shawl was as sablea as night;
And her gloves were as dark as her shawl
And her jewels-that flashed in the light
Were black as a funeral pail
Her robe had the hue of the rest
(How nicely it fitted her shapeD
And the grief that was heaving her breast
Boiled over in pillows of crapel
What tears of vicarious woe,
/. That else might have sullied her face,
Were kindly permitted to flow
In ripples of ebony lacei
While even her fan, in its play,
Had quite lugubrious scope,
And seemed to be waving away
The ghost of the angel of Hope !
Yet rich as the robes of a queen y,
Was the sombre apparel she wore,
I'm certain / never had seen
Such sumptous sorrow before;
And / couldn't help thinking the beauty,
In mourning the loved and the lost,
Was doing her conjugal duty
Altogether regardless OF costl
One surely would say devotion
Performed at SO vast an expense,
Betrayed an excess of emotion
That was really something immense;
And yet, as / viewed at my leisure
These tokens of tender regard,
I thought, it is scarce without measure
The sorrow that goes by the yardl
Ahi grief is a curious passion
And yours-I am sorely afraid
The very next phase of the fashion
Will find it beginning to fade:
Tho dark are the shadows of grief,
The morning will follow the night,
Half tints will betoken relief
Till joy shall be symboled in aohste
Ali well-it were idle to quarrel
With fashion or aught she may do;
And so conclude with moral
And metaphor-warranted new.
When MEASLES come handsomely out,
The patient is safest they say:
And the sorrow is mildest no doubt,
That works in similar way
