.sFAREWELL, MA ME. y.
BT CHARLES DDIITEY.

Bl LAAElsEs DLAl1kE.
Farewell, HJg ME, since part we must,
And each from each must severl
How brief the wOrd-how long the pain!
To part-and part forever!
'Twere bOotless now to question why.
Or fan the dying ember--
Enough the wrathful moons have merged
Our May in dead December.
Farewell, ma ME! Since part we must,
Wen part in quiet fashion!
For us no foolish tears you know,
For US no idle passion;
You sometimes wish that yOU had died
Ere you had ever met ne,
The future years are all your own
Wherein to quite forget me.
We drained loves goblet TO the dregs,
Nor drained with rhyme or reason,
And shamed the fervOr Of the days
Through all a Summers season:
We drank the cup Of passion dry
Through lips our spirits blending;
How strange that that should cease to be
Which once we thought unending'
saw you first when early Spring
Had tipped the green with heather;
The robin piped upon the tree,
Aunature came together:
The light OF love was in your eyes,
And you were happy hearted
The brown leaves lie beneath us now.
And we, ma DliC. are parted.
But why should love like oErs survive
The fading Of the pansy!
An April blossom OF the heart
Twas but a Summers fancy;
And if the thought Of it should chance
To cross my mind hereafter,
How like an April day twill seem
A thing OF tears and laughter!
But back, me mie, you'll sometimes turn,
Your thoughtful vigils keeping,
To other days where, early slain,
Our buried love lies sleeping;
And hply, then, you'll learn to feel,
When mcm'ry stirs the cmber,
How sad the heart which would forget.
But must the past remember!

TRAIN AND SPRAGUE.-At New York
city recently George Francis Train addressed
the Father Mathew Societies, in the Cooper
Institute. Senator Sprague being in the
audience, Train invited him to speak. The
Senator said that he had watched the pres
eut course ofthe Government and many years
of its past history. He had repeatedly urged
both Senators and Representatives to aid
him in exposing its corruptions, but they in
variably turned toward him a deaf ear. He
therefore, after seven years of silence in the
Senate, felt impelled to speak. He had done
so conscientiously, and had no excuse to make
for his course. Sprague, after paying tri-
butte to Father Mathew and the temperance
cause, retired.

A HARD CASE. - The San Francisco
Chronicle of the 10Th inst. relates the fol-
lowing:
In the Police Court yesterday morning a
gray-haired old woman, seventy years OF
age, was escorted from the filthy cells Of the
City Prison by two TRUSTEES into the police
dock. Her accuser was her own son-in-law,
\ beetled- browed 1rishman named A. S.
Clark. He stated to His Honor that the
old lady was very abusive. The evidence
proved that the abuse was all on his part.
The poor old creature was confined all night
in the calaboose, surrounded by thieves,
vagabonds and drunken women. She was
discharged. The fellow ought to have been
arrestep for having had her locked up on
false pretenses.

GOVERNOR STAFFORD was SO kind as to
send US a young spike from that big silver
one which, in the name of Arizona, he pre-
scented to the constructors of the c. P. Il. r
on the occasion of laying the last rail. We
assure the Governor that we prize this little
memento for other reasons than the imme-
Mate associations which it suggests. 1t will
serve to remind US of one of the truest of
men one of the staunchest of Unionists !;
one Of the most effective workers in the
cause of Republicanism one of the most
enterprising and courageous of Nevada pio-
neers the esteemed citizen and faithful
friend, A. P. X. Stafford. He is loss to
Nevada and we regret his departure. He is
an accession to the best interests Of Arizona,
meriting the high and responsible position
to which he is appointed, and we congratu-
late him and his new constituency.

Andrew johnson In Tennessee.

II We may rely upon the Tennessee news
papers and certain limitations from Wash
ington, Andrew Johnson is not going to give
mp the ghost nor political life after he leaves
the White House. Like John Quincy Adams.
he will probably die with the harness on i'm
some public position or other II ia said he
win he q candidate for Governor Of Tennes-
see, and, considering his power on the stump
and over the people, and his great energy, we
should not be surprised to see him elected.
I'nt this is only stepping stone to get back
TO the United States Senate. Perhaps his
ambition goes still further. De that as il may.
Mr.. Johnson would he very useful man in the
Senate. He would be thorn in the side or
the corrupt rings In Congress and the lobby.
Like Butler, hs l. not man to be put down.
Then, what glorious chance he would have
Of exposing The trickery, donblc-dcaling and
schemes Of Senator's during his administration,
What an opportunity to take revenge upon
some OF then! Nr Johnson is not an old
man yet, and he has a vigorous constitution.
By all means let him run for Governor again
aud get back into the Senate

south American Affairs.

We yesterday published q number Of
letters from Colombia, Bolivia, Chile and
Peru. The information contained in them is
simply new dress for old grievances They
tell us only of the normal condition of Spanish
America. As to Colombia, it's Panama pro-
vince is in most miserable condition, and sees
no hope of bettering itself except in indie
pendence or annexation to the United States
A few hundred miserable human beings now
control the great future ceutre Of the worlds
commercial enterprise, and make it, perhaps,
the most disgusting spot on this Continent.
From Bolivia we are advised of some trouble
on account of the treaty of limits with
Brazil, lately signed, by which some
seventy thousand miles of formerly re-
cognized Bolivian territory have been
coded to Brazil Some revolutionary move
ments had broken out, but were quickly sup
pressed, and the party opposing the treaty
stands but little chance Of making Roadway
against the strong government of Melgareio.
which is blessing TO that country. Peru, it
will be remembered, made a strong protest
against the above mentioned treaty, but il was
from fear that she might lose the great trade
which now crosses through Peruvian territory
across the Andes TO the Amazon valley, and
which Brazil, under the treaty, hopes 10 see
pass down the Amazon.
Asregards Peru, her finances are represented
to be In most deplorable condition but,
strange to say. she pushes ahead with public
works, and very large amounts Of English and
American capital are constantly flowing into
the country to develop its vast resources
The government has given six hundred thou
sand dollars to company to extend
Geographic lines throughout the interior, and
Ecuador is also making telegraphic effort.
Altogether, Western South America, despite
its normal revolutionary condition, is advanc-
ing, AZ is shown by the progress Of Its public
works and the vast increase in Its imports and
exports. We want Ii connected with ms by
telegraph, and then our people, learning more
Of its wonderful riches, will see that Il is for
their interest to draw their trade relations
closer and cut OF some Of the vast products
which are now freighted past our doors for
Europe.

Loss AND GAIN.-Maloney, the eficient
policeman who captured the butcher cart ras-
cal Boyle, loses $4,000 by Boyle's conviction
in this State. Had Boyle been returned TO
Michigan Maloney would have been entitled
to that sum in the reward for the capture. It
is to be hoped, however, that Maloney will
reap soSRe substantial advantage from bis sue
cess. Such courage and acuteness as his are
wanted in the police and would make the city
an uncomfortable as!9 e crs ,si%s !s- he

there win be an example for the force which
will tend to develop in other members the
same good qualities.

Protection OF EMIGRANTs.-It appears by
our Washington news that there is Q project
for convention between the United States
and the North German Union for the better
protection OF emigrants, and that Baron Gerolt
and others are active in the matter It is to
provide for the health, comfort and morals of
emigrants passing from Germany to the United
States. A very good idea, and the sooner it
is carried ont the better. Emigrants have not
been provided for and treated on the passage
as they should have been, and much disease
and many deaths have been the result. Let
the protecting arm Of government be thrown
around them in the future through this pro-
posed convention.

Greeley aud Train ~ Orators.


Greeley and George Francis Train resemble
each other very much as orators, and In their
mental qualities both are full of theories and
crotchets, are radical in everything, visionary,
fussy, vain, and love to hear their own sweet
voices. In their own estimation they are the
greatest philosophers Of the age, and believe
that tho world could not move without them.
1t would be- hard to tell which let's off the most
gas or nonsense or which shows the most con-
ceit; but there is no resemblance in personal
appearance. Train rejoices in his Websterian
look and thinks he honors the great Daniel by
wearing similar blue coat, with brass but
tons. and in cultivating his hobby head of hair
in the same style Of his imaginary prototype.
He is the lion in lions clothing and roars
vociferonsly. Greeley is a lion Gas he believes
himself to be SOY in sleeps clothing and affects
modest appearance, while he is not bit less
fierce or presumptuous than Train. IT. by
chance he puts of his old white coat at any
time for a dinner party he feels like fish out
of water or with its scales off He is unhappy
till he gets il on again, because he loses his
identity without it. Greeley would be nothing
ii he were not eccentric, and he ia indebted to
this very white coat for being dubbed u
philosopher When we consider that he owes
all his fame and honor to this precious gar
ment we need not be surprised that he has a
great affection for it and that he cherishes it
as the apple Of his eye. We say nothing
about his boots or his hat Or his general make
up-all in keeping with the coat and character
istic enough-but simply make this reference
to his dress to show tho anomaly that, while
Geeley and Train are alike as orators and in
mental pecularities, they are in the matter of
aesthetics totally unlike each other.

Mr.. Kelley, OF Pennsylvania, ON sh. Con-
dition of tho Country.
MIR. Kelley, in q speech in Congress, com
menting upon the report of Mr.. Wells, Special
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue and In
reply to the hard money theorists relative to
their croaking misstatements about the condi-
ton Of the country, gives some interesting
facts to show that trade and the people gene
rally were never more prosperous He said
that the statement that the working people of
this country were better or in 1860, the year
before the war, than in 1867 was preposter-
ous-and he might have added than at the
present time, had he not been combining his
argument to Commissioner Wells remarks
on the year 1867. He stated that the Com
missioner's figures had been so marshalled as
to present results that could not be sustained,
and proved the fallacy Of them. Among other
things he noticed in support Of his argument
was the condition of the savings banks through
out the country. The deposits in these insti-
buttons last year amounted to millions upon
millions more than iu 1860, before the war
and in hard money times. lie argued that
this could not have been so if the condition
of the masses Of the people had not been better
in 1868 than in 1860. Taking his own city
(Philadelphia) as an example, he showed that
sheriffs' writs for the sale Of real estate had
each year fallen of, that litigation had greatly
diminished, and that the number Of buildings
erected in 1867 were more than double those
erected in 1860. With a few exceptions
similar state of things may be found in other
parts of The country, and throughout the eoun-
try generally. What, then, becomes of the
gronudless arguments, or rather the unfounded
statements. Of those who pretend that the coun-
try is suffering because OF our paper currency
and because we do not hurry on to specie pay
ments! A few facts like these Of Judge
Kelley, drawn from actual experience, with
little common sense, will scatter to the winds

the stere0typed fallacies of the resumptiouists
