MAN

The human mind, that lofty thing,
The palaces aud the throne,
Where reason site q soeptered king,
And breatAes its Judgment tone!
Yet, who with silent steps can trace
The borders Of that haunted place,
Nor in h,s weakness own
That mystery and marvel bind
That lofty thing Human mind
The Human heart, that restless thing
The tempted and the tried,
The joyous and the suffering
The source Of pain and pride,
The seat Of Love--the lair Of Hate;
Self s,ung, self-deited
And yet we hail thee as thou art,
Thou restless thing-the Human Heart,
The Human soul thou startling thing,
Mysterious and sublime
The angel sleeping On the wing,
Worn by tho sc0d Of time
The beautiiul--the veiIei--the bound
The earth cnthralled, the glory crowned
The smitten IN its prime
Prom Heaven, in tears, 70 Earth Il stole,
That startling thing Human Soul.
And such b. man Oh, ask OF him,
The crring, but forgiven,
II DER bis vision, drcRr and dim,
The wrecks Of time ara driven;
lrprlic or passion, in their power
Can stem the tide or turn the hour,
Or stand in place Of Heaven
lie bends the brow, he bows the knee,
Creator, God, to none but Thee.

THE MIDDLE IN THE INDIANA SENATE
An ATTEMPT TO RATIFY THE CoNsTITU-
TIoNAL Observation-Disclosures, April
l4.-An attempt was made in the Senate
yesterday to violate the agreement made
not to obtrude the amendment until the
necessary legislation to carry on the State
government was accomplished. A PROPOSE
ton was offered by Mr.. Cravens which pro-
vided virtually that the amendment should
be ratified, and authorizing joint conyen-
ton of the two Houses to assemble On May
II to ratify it. If this proposition had been
adopted the ratification would have been
virtually accomplished. The Democratic
senators denounced the proposition as
violation Of faith, but it was passed by the
majority.
After the adjournment of the morning
session the Democratic senators held eau
Gus, and resolved to resign to prevent the
passage Of the joint resolution. The resigna-
lions were prepared and placed in the hands
of senator to present to the Governor at the
afternoon session. Senator Rice "a Repub-
lican) recited the agreement made with the
Democrats said the passage Of the resolu-
tion would be virtual ratification OF the
amendment, and regarded such measure
as a violation OF the faith and pledges on
the part Of the Republicans. The PROPOSE
ton was withdrawn.-Evening Telegraph.

A man in Milford, Mass, is making a
velccipede with wheels eight feet high.
1t is intended to make thirty miles an hour.
MADRID, April lit is reported that
General Prim will 60 out to Cuba as Cap
tain General, accompanied by large rein
forcements for the suppression Of the in
surrection.
On the morning OF Easter Sunday fifty
spanisrds received the communion accord
ing to the rite of the Protestant religion /,
and this is the first time that such oere-
mony has been witnessed in Madrid since
the cruel days Of Philip II.
Two new styles Of velocipede, which con-
fict with no existing patent, are reported
from Worcester, Mass. One of these is to
run entirely by friction; and the other,
with common foot-paddles, enables the ope-
rator to make mile minute, or there-
sbouts, each tread OF the treadle giving the
driving-wheel three revolutions.
Of the new White Pine rfaning Juror,
the Sacramento Bee says: "With few
exceptions it is all wildcst-wilder than
Washoe ever was and while it may be
that the district is immensely richer than
Washoe was, it is nevertheless true that,
judging from present facts, White Pine
will be far greater public swindle than
was Washoe."

The HUDSON BAY CoMPANY-1T CEASES
TO ExIsr.-From private sources we have
the terms recently accorded by the English
Government to the Hudson Bay Company
alluded to in cable kilograms. The Crown
pays the company 93oO, 900, and comedies
$4,000 acres. In return, the Hudson Bay
Company gives up its claim, which is 400
square miles larger than all Europe. The
company now virtually ceases to exist. Its
profits are known of late years to have
been enormous, but have been concentrated
by large nominal additions of stock. All
claims of the company could have been
taken away by Great Britain if the former
had not accepted these propositions. The
Canadian Government has been very active
in bringing about this result, as the Hudson
Bay Company have recently been infring-
ing upon their rights.

SERIOUS FIRE NEAR PlTTsBURGH.-PittS-
6urgh, April 1.-THE oil refinery Of Fer
sythe Brothers, at sharpsburg, near this
city, was destroyed by fire to-day. The
stills, buildings, and settling houses, con
tanning 1900 barrels of refined and $500
barrels of distilled oil, caught fire and
burned this afternoon. At o'clock this
evening tank containing 10000 barrels Of
crude oil caught fire, and at 10 o'clock an
other alarm was struck, indicating that the

The Result IN VIRs1s1A.----;She Boston
Advertiser (Radical) predicts the election Of
Walker. hsays: sSEAs
It does not seem difficult to predict what
will be the result Of the slectiolL The po-
sition Of the three parties 10 briefly this !:
The Republicans will support the hole con.
stitution, including the disffanchis> 'ment Of
rebels and negro suffrage clause the
"new movement (" men, with mi norlty
wing Of the Republicans, will suppo. t the
constitution, accepting negro suffrage ., Dus
opposing the disfranehising clauses. The
Democrats will oppose the constitution, but
will vote separately against the disfrae 4
chisement of whites. The middle party
undoubtedly holds the balance Of power, if
it is not in an absolute majority. Joining
with the Republicans, it puts the adoption
Of the constitution and negro suffrage be-
yond the possibility of failure, and the as
sistance Of the Democrats will ensure also
the defeat of the disfranchising clauses.
Whatever, therefore, the origin of the re-
cent act, or to whomsoever may be due the
credit Of securing it, the success Of the
"new movement" programme appears now
to be assured. ---------.-.----
