10 A DYING INFANT.

Sleep, little baby, sleep!
Not IN thy cradle bed,
Not on tiny mothers breast
Henceforth shall be thy rest,
But with the quiet dead
Yes-wjth the quiet dead,
Baby, thy rest shall be;
oh many q weary weight,
Weary of life and light,
Would fain lie down with thee.
Flee, little tender nursing,
Flee to thy grassy nest;
There the first flowers shall blow,
The first pure flake OF snow
Shall fall upon thy breast.
Thou weepest, childless mother.
Aye, weep-'twill ease thine heart
He was thy first born son,
Thy first, thine only one
lis hard for him to part.
And then to lie and weep,
And think the live long night
Feeding thine own distress
With accurate greediness-
OF every past delight;
OF all his winning ways;
His pretty, playful smiles,
His joy at sight of thee,
His tricks, his mimIcry,
And all his little wiles.
Oh, there are recoilections
Round mothers hearts that cling
That mingle with the tears,
And smiles OF after wears,
With oft awakening.
But thou wilt then, fond mother.
In after years, look back
Time brings such wondrous easing
With sadness not unpleasing,
Fen on this gloomy track.

R1PNdRUS LAW. AND U. s. LAW.

Judge Barnard may or may not be aware
that in enjOining Mr.. Collector Bailey OF the
Thirty second District against proceeding fur
ther in the collection of a revenue tax OF some
$4,000 against the banking firm OF Messrs
Clark, Dodge g. Co., he is copying the good
Pope who Illuminated bull against the Comet
His writ of injunction will have just as much
effect in determining the action OF the Govern
ment in the collection of its taxes as the excel
lent bull of His Holiness had in determining
the course of the Comet, and no more
Congress provided ample remedy to parties
aggrieyed by the collection of taxes improperly
assessed. 1t authorized suit against the Collector,
with provision that the Government shall
satisfy all judgments thus obtained, and enacted
q law against injunctOns to restrain Collectors
in the discharge of their duties. There is also
an act of Congress providing for the removal
of suits commenced against revenue officers III
State Courts to those of the United States
This case grows out of an assessment made
against Clark, Dodge & CO., by the late Asses
sor Mr.. Webster, of 1-2ith of one per cent per
month upon the average amount OF capital
employed by the firm in the business oil BANK
ing. The assessment was made after an ex-
animation of the books of the concern, and
covered their transactions for about fifteen
months. They appealed to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, who on due consldera-
tion snstained the assessment, and ordered the
collection of the tax. The present flank move
ment may delay the recovery of the money for
few days, but that is all the effect it can
have. If the bankers of Wall-st. are not
satisfied with the rulings of the local
officers and of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue as to their liability to tax
alton, there can be no good reason why they
should not seek judicial decision which shall
be final. But we respectfully suggest that they
would save time and possibly expense in the
solution of the difficulty by proceeding accord
ing to the mode pointed out IN the law. 1t is
very clear that George G. Barnard cannot do
them much good as a judge, since his court is
wanting in jurisdiction.

There is a vivid picture of the newest OF our
great Western mines in the letters of our special
correspondent IN the White Pine region, whose
story we begin to-day. Mining excltements oil
course, are always more or less alike IN their
general features, and the early days OF gold In
California and Colorado, of petroleum IN Penn
sylvania, and of silver in Nevada, witnessed
the same sudden making and losing of fortunes,
the same rush of wild characters, hard working
miners sharp spectators, gamblers, and whisky
sellers, the same scenes of suffering and Starya-
ton, and the same swindling operations in
stocks. The history of White Pine seems to be
peculiar, however, in some respects. The
natural obstacles to be overcome by the pioneer
miners were unusually great; they were over
come with unusual rapidity; and the fever
reached its crisis in an unusually short space
of time In one year three cities have sprung
into existence, the reaction has already set H.
and the district seems to be settling down to
business.

Three of those murderOus occurrences which
the euphemistic style of the day describes as
accidents are recorded in our columns this
morning. The two men killed on the Northern
Central Road in Pennsylvania owe their death
directly to the neglect of that Company
to have watchmen on duty at points of the
road exposed to obstruction by the falling of
overhanging rocks. Twenty passengers on the
Ohio River steamboat which exploded her
boilers on Saturday, owe their death either
to the criminal neglect of the owners of the
boat in providing insufficient boilers or to the
criminal act of the engineer in everlasting
them. Why the train on the Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad should run of
the track and kill two men is not
made plain in the dispatch narrating
the event but trains do not leave the track
without cause and the cause is rarely one
that could not have been prevented by due
diligence. Twenty-four murders, we may
therefore say, are the record of yesterday and
Saturday against the Companies to whom the
people of the United States have intrusted the
business of passenger transportation. Com
pared with some previous records it was not q
good day for murders either But we insist
upon calling things by their right Names and
demand that nobody but idiots shall seriously
talk about these things as accidents.

Some time since we referred to sleeping
phenomenon in Fulton County, kentucky-a
woman who slept seven or eight weeks with
out waking, and who has been going On in
this way for several years. We stated upon the
authority before us, that she was sleeping the
sleep which knows no waking, or, not to put too
fine point upon it, that she was dead. But
she is MT. She is still mapping naturally. She
remains a veritable slumbering phenomenon.
This is really cheering news for the Democratic
party. 1t proves that body may go on slumber-
ing snoring and snoozng for years and still live.

sionally wake up, to be Of good cheer. While
