UNREASONABLE PoETRY.--In looking over

the extremely unreasonable character Of po-
eticaI selections. This year winter began in

this fact we find in about one half of our ex-

Senator TiDtOn.

A washington correspondent of the
PlattsmOuth Herald closes a long let
ter with the following tribute to our
lately reelected United States Senator,
Mr.. Upton:
Before closing permit me To call
the attention of your readers to the
fact that in their last election of Uni
ted States Senator, (HOn. T. w. Tip
ton, they have done themselves and
the Republican cause infinite Justice.

and purposes; and, sometimes, to my
surprise, but always to my gratifica-
tion, have found him firmer than Fes-
sender and as true as Summer. AL
ways at his post and ever attentive to
his duties, unmOved by frowns and
uninfuenced by favors. His Senate
rial record is in all respects
above suspicion Of impeachment. He
does not fiatter or cajole for policy or
success, while his instructive love for
justice andTight are the sheet-anehOr
Of his hope. His speeches are few,
but never for Buncomb and his great
300lb Parrot, fired in the Senate on
the 10th of February last, against DoO-
little, was one of the most cutting,
piercing, and annihilating speeches
ever delivered in'the august body.
In the exciting Executive Sessions
he never feared to express his opinions
and give his advice freely and boldly
and one thing can be said of him in
all truth and sincerity, and to his inn
perishable honor, he never. in Execu-
tive session, voted for the confirmation
of Rebel General for one of the best
Federal offices in the country.

The Absorption Of Another
Duclly by Bismarck.

The Independence Belize of a recent
date days: The incorporation of the
little Duchy of Lauenburg, with the
Prussian monarchy is decided on. The
Diet of the small State will meet on
the Sd of May to sanction the results
of the negotiations which have taken
place at Berlin on this subject, between
Count Bismarck and the delegates of
this Duehy. This annexation raises
several interesting questions. As may
be remembered, the province was ac-
quired by Prussia and Austria in the
treaty with Denmark, and King Viii
liam afterwards purchased with ready
money the rights which his CO. pr0pTi-
etor had obtained by conquest. Since
then Lauenburg has formed part of
the Confederation of the North, as a
special possession of the Prussian
crown. The question is now to trans
fer it from the royal domain to that
of the people, Among the matters to
be decided will be to which province.
Hanover or SchIeswig, this small dis
trict, only containing 10000 inhabi-
tants, and too small to form a govern
ment by itself, shall be annexed. The
Diet of Lauenburg will probably be
consulted on that point.

WASHINGTON, May I9.-The Treas
ury to-day contained one hundred and
twenty-five millions of gold, being the
largest amount on hand for many
months. This plethOric condition OF
the Treasury stimulates the Secretary
to continue his sales of gold, and pur-
chases of bonds. To-day several New
York merchants had an interview with
him regarding that policy, and he re-
iterated his statement of yesterday,
that he had seen no good reason to
abandon it. He intended to go on,
and for the present retire one million
of bonds per week for sinking fund.
He declared that gold gamblers might
go on showing up premium, but he
fshould shove out gold coin from the
treasury to more than equal the de-
mand.

For have marked thy strong career,
AS traced by thy own sturdy pen.
I've seen thy struggles with the foes
That dared thee to the desperate fight,
And loved to watch thy goodly blows
Dealt for the cause thou deem'St the right
Thou'st dared to stand against the wrong
When many faltered by thy side:
In thy own strength has dared be strong,
Nor on anOther's arm relied.
Thy own bold thoughts tllou's dared to think
Thy own great purposes avowed;

From the ferce surges Of the crowd.
Thou, all unaided and alone.
Didst take thy way IA LIES young years;
With no kind hand clasped In thy own,
No gentle voice to sOoth thy tears.
But thy high heart no power could tame,
And thou hast never ceased to feel,
Within thy veines a sacred fame
That turned thy iron nerves 70 steel.

From al the weaknesses OF earth,
For passion comes to rouse and tempt
The truest souls Of mortal birth.
But thou hast well fulfilled thy trust.
In spite Of love, and hope, and fear,
And cen the tempest's thunder-gust
But clears thy spirits atmosphere.
Thou stiIl art in thy manhoOd's prime;
Still foremost mid thy fellow men,
Though in each year Of all thy time
Thou hast compressed three score and ten.
Oh, may each blessed dssympathy,
Breathed on thee with g tear and sigh,
A sweet flower IN thy pathway be,
A bright star in thy clear blue sky.

Senator.

Among the numerous North Platte
candidates talked of for II. s. Senate
at the next election, the name Of T..
H. Rogers, of Fremont, is favOrably
mentioned. Mr.. Rogers ig said to be
a man Of respectable ability, who has
numerous friends.
The above item we clip from q late
number of the Nebraska City ChrOpj-
Gle, and are pleased to note the source
from whence it eminates, first, be-
cause il shows that the South Platte
people are aware that there is some
town north of the Platte, river besides
Omaha, and secondly, because it nom-
mates to high place q man who Is
abundantly able to carry out the high
hopes of his friends, who are numer-
Gus in all parts of our State.
Mr.. Rogers is one Of our oldest and
most respected citizens, has had large
experience in legislation, served one
term as Speaker Of the Senate with
marked ability, and is now energetic
ally pursuing private business here.
OF our citizens, we presume no one
will be more surprised than Mr.. ROg-
ers at mention Of his name I'm eOnnee-
ton with the Senatorshfp, but II the
voice of the people calls him to the
important place, we can truly say that
the choice is a good one, and no one fs
more competent to discharge the du-
ties of the high Office of u. S. Senator,
than Hon. j.. III. Rogers, of Fremont.

The New York Tribune will COM
-mence, on or about June 1st, the pub
hcatiOn in weekly chapters of trea-
ties by its Editor on Political EcOnO-
my, designed more especially to eluci-
date and defend the policy of Protec-
ton to Home Industry. He expects
to bring the work within the compass
of twenty to twenty-five chapters of
three or four columns each, and to
treatsthe subject with such simplicity
and directness that few can read these
essays without at least realizing that
the Protective policy is either grossly
misunderstood or deliberately misrep-
resented by the champions of Free
Trade. The public shall, at all events,
realize that we, who stand for PrOtec-
ton, habituaily read and try to COM
prehend our adveFsaries, while they
ignore our writings and grossly earica-
ture our arguments.
The essays will ultimately be pFin
ted together; but, in view of the des-
perate efforts of the Free Traders to
fOrestall opinion and try to Wrest a
verdict from a public which has not
heard the case argued, we ask the
friends of Protection to aid us in Civ
ing these essays, as they originally
fall from the press, q general diffusion.
We shall print more than Two Hun
dred Thousand copies of each in our

MEMPHIS, May 19.-Every portion
of the spacious GreenIaw Opera house
was crowded again to-day with dele
gates and visitors to the convention.
The entire morning was occupied in
completing the organization and in
listening to a. speech by Senator
Sprague from, Rhode Island. The ap-
pearance of the latter in the eOnVen-
ton, accompanied by General Hal
stead of New Jersy, was its signal for
tremendous Outburst of applause,
which continued during the whole
time he was passing up to the stage,
and renewed with loud shouts when
he rose to speak no man has received
more fiattering recognation by the
convention. The cheers were more
uprOarOus than at any time, except
yesterday when the President read the
letter Of Robert +. Lee, but the speech
Of the Senator dispersed the charm
Of his presence.
Mr.. Davis made a short speech to-
day in reply to Somebody who sugges-
ted that hereafter these conventions
should not be called southern but Ma
tiOnal. Mr. Davis said be had no OBJ
jectiOns to the term Southern, he
would be glad to welcome the South
ern Commercial Convention at Cincin-

GOVERNOR CURTIN, in farewell
speech in Philadelphia, said: "I de-
clare that in my official connection
with the people of Pennsylvania, and
my conduct during those six years, /
am not ashamed to say have no blush
to cool in the SHOWS of Russia" /"
81 would have you, people Of Penn
sylvania, to say to-day that from the
full treasury of this State more money
shall be taken for the crippled men of
the war. Oh my friends, If should
return to my country and know that
the thousand Of wounded men who
are at the corners ofyOur streets grind
ing organs and picking up a scanty
living by begging, were provided for,
would feel still prOuder of this great
State OfPennsylvania. You are almost
out of debt. You owe an immense
debt of gratitude to those who served
you during the war. We stayed at
home and enjoyed the comforts and
Iuxuries of life. They were exposed
to battle and slaughter, and passed
the lonely picket in the night surroun-
ded with dangers. He was promised
that when he left his house that living
he should be cared for, and that when
dead, his wife should be cared for, and
his orphans maintained at the public
expense. We all promised that. Let
us redeem that promise, and let the
great heart of the people of Pennsyl-
vania move for the protection Of that
class of our fellow citizens; and am
ashamed to say, tonight, Pennsylva-
MIA has not done her duty to the Grip
pied, and manned, and helpless men

NEW YORK, May ~.
The Worlds Havana eorrespon-
dence says that when a Government
vessel lately arrived there from Neu-
vitas, with load of wounded troops,
the press was forbidden to publish any
facts connected with the event.
These wounded men were from the
battle near Los Minas, previously re-
ported, in which the Spanish suffered
the worst defeat they have yet expe-
Fienced.
The Spanish were only defeated,
however, by the desertion of q batal-
lsOn Of Havana colored volunteers,
who turned on their officers, and pas
sing over to the Cubans, aided them
effeetUally.
This was the first attempt to use
colored troops by the Spadiards.
During the retreat of the Spaniards
they were frequently thrown into
confusion, and lost heavily. Many OF
their best officers are reported killed
or wounded.
This correspondent also says there is
no truth in the reported convention of
RevOlutionists at SinOacu, in which,
resolutions favoring annexation TO the
United States were adopted. It is
questionable whether a majority oft he
RevOlutionists favor annexation.
Later dispatches say the SpaniaFds,
in the engagement quoted above, lost
nearly all their provisions, baggage
train, &C., and part Of their artillery.
The insurgents had over seven
thousand men and the Spaniards
thirty-five hundred.
The fight lasted nearly seven hours.
