BY FRANK o. T1cKNea-


The Douglas. knigbtltsst OF old,
La his last journeying, ,,s
Wore at his heart, encased IN goio'
Tn. neart of Bruce, his hng'
rbronob Paynin lands to Palestine,
Befall what peril m,snt,
&c iourneyed day and night.
By night and day, weary way,
OF vigil and Of fight,
Where never rescue came By day,
Nor ever rest by night.
And one by one the valiant spears
We're stricl en- from his side;
And Que by one his heavy tears
Fell TOR The brave who died.
Till fierce and black around his track
He saw the combat cose,
And counted but single sword
Against uncounted foes.
He drew the casbet from his breast,
Hs barred his solemn brow.
Obi foremost Of the knishtliest,
Go ficst in battle, now!
Where leads my Lord of Bruce, the sword
OfDouglas snail not stay;
Forward | We meet at Christ, his feet,
On Paradise to-day?
Tho casket flashed, the battle clashed,
Numbered ana rolled away;
And dead above the heart OF Bruce
The heart of Douglas lay.
Loy.i? Methinks the antique mould
is left on theirs alone,
Who sheltered Freedom g heart OF gold,
Like Douglas with their own.

THE SWORD FISH.

A marine insurance case is now being
tried in England, which involves scri-
Gus question as to the power of sword
fish to intlict damage and cndanger
lives. The ship Dreadnought, an East
Indiaman, was recently taken into port
leaking badly from small hole below
the water line Her owners demanded
the cost of repairs from the insurance
company, claiming that the hole was
made by sword fish. If it was not
made by some external force, nothing
can be collected. The insurance COM
pany answers that there is no instance
on record in which sword fish, having
punctured the side of vessel has es-
capped without leaving his sword in the
hole. The plaintiffs prove that a few
hours before the discovery of the leak,
the crew had seen very large sword
fish in the water, and had tried to cap
ture it with lines and hooks. Professor
Owen delivered scientific lecture on
the sword fish from the witncss-box dur
ing the trial. The sword of this fish
is the hardest bony material known; it
has sheath harder than the enamel
of human teeth; within his personal
experience the sides of two ships have
been pierced by this submarine stilet-
to; the blade was usually left in the

Death of John Minor Bolts, and General
Rousseau.

Hon, John Minor Bolts died at his resi-
dence in Culpepper, Virginia, on Friday,
Sth inst. lie was born in DumfrieS, Prince
William county, Virginia, September Ii,
1902. At an early age he took an active
part in politics. When the Wing party as
sumed its definite form, III 1884. he became
one of its most ardent and prominent sup
porterS. In 1888 he was elected from Hen
rico county to the Legislature of Virginia,
and was atterward several times reelected.
In 1889 he was returned to the Twenty
seventh Congress, and there advocated
most of the points of Mr.. Clay's programme
"a National Bank, protective tariff, and
the distribution among the States of
the proceeds of the public lands. Though
long warm and intimate friend of John
Tyler, Mr.. Bolts at once abandoned him
on his secession from the Wing party and
in the Presidential election of 1874 he sup
ported Mr.. Clay. In 1913 he had been left
out of Congress, but in 1S47 was returned
to that body for the third time. After the
death of Mr.. Clay and the dissolution of
the Wing party he became attached to the
American party. He was opposed to the
repeal of the Missouri compromise, and
sympathiZed with those Southern members
of Congress who opposed the passing of the
Lecompton bill i'll 1868. When the rebel
lion broke out Mr.. Bolts took the side of
the Union, and suffered much in consc-
qnence, having been for long time i'm
prisoned by the Confederate authorities at
Richmond on account of his principles, and
his life was several times threatened. At
its suppression he allied himself with the
Republican party, and in the recent Presi-
dental contest advocated the Election of
General Grant, but since that time he has

OUR EARTH AND EARTHQUAKES.

We think of our earth as solid sub
rtance, and an abiding thing, while all
else is changing; but, in fact, it seems
to be only an cggshell, with yolk of
liquid fire seething in it. In consc-
quence of the recent "upheavings of
the everlasting hills" as if they were
playthings, philosophers have taken up
the subject, and arc bringing all their
powers of learning and research to bear
upon the solution of the problems -
What arc earthquakes, what their cause,
what their purpose?
They tell us the earth upon which we
live, is mere crust, of unknown thick
ness, and that all the vast interior is a
seething, burning mass that these in
ternal fires are constantly seeking new
material to work upon, and are making
serious inroads upon the matter COM
prising the crust upon which we live
that volcanoes are the natural smoke
stacks" of this burning mass, and
where none of these conveniences "
for the egress Of supcrfuous heat exist,
they are formed, by means of earth
quakes and upheavings of the earth.
They tell us, further, that a vast
body of this burning matter is now roll
ing under the earth, seeking vent for its
surplus steam," that it's course is from
west to east, and that any section of the
world is liable to "shocks from the
efforts made by this mass to find a
smoke-stack."
What if there should be q sudden
rift produced by an earthquake, and
the ocean let in upon this fiery mass
The generation of steam and gasses
would blow this great terrestrial bomb
shell into millions of fragments in a
twinkling-filling the surrounding space

s.Eyes that Open OH Earth No More"

Thrice 0 Mother, the winter SHOWS
Have dropped and frozen upon thy grave
Thrice have we heard the autumn blasts
Moan in the boughs that round it wave
Time shall hurry above thy slumber
Ages how many none may know,
Many shall pass to sleep beside thee,
There shall the troops of mourners go.
Birds shall sing in, the budding branches,
Violets hide in the grass below,
The sad, repining breath of October
Drifts of brown leaves over thee throw
Never the April, never the Summer,
Never the snow shall reach thee there,
Never the wind of the world thou walkest
Blow the silver across thy hair.
Never the heat of the rocky road,
Never the wounds and never the gloom,
Never the heart that breaks while waiting,
Never the almond tree in bloom
Sometimes here in the dusky silence
have deemed that heard thee call,
Then thought of the Golden City,
With the pearly gates and jasper wall.
Over the prairie tire howl of winds,
And on the roof and the window pane
The dash, the murmur and funeral beat
OF the feet of the multitudinous rain.
: This last wild night of the dying Year
Ireach for thee through the sitting shade,
Bloom ON the valleys where thou art gone,
Ice on the grave where thy form we laid.

THE INAUGURATION OF GRANT.-General
Grants Inauguration will take place on
the 4th of March, 1869, and the object is to
have the Great Event consummated in the
Capitol Building. Heretofore the Inaugu-
ration has been an extensive job and an
equally extensive Failure. The hall has
been poor, the accommodations poor, the
crowd immense, and the distress in proper
ton. Money has been made out of every
thing, while nobody has had any comfort.
1t is now proposed to make ga new deal y
to have an Inauguration worthy of the
beginning of the neo reginse-worthy of the
Great Soldier, and of his policy of Repub-
lican Restoration. Senator Morgan, of the
National Republican Committee, General
Schenck, of the Congressional Republican
Committee, Mayor Bowen, and other
equally well known Republicans, have
taken hold, and the prospect is that we
shall have celebration worthy of the coun-
try. There is some opposition to allowing
the Capitol to be used for such a purpose !;
but it now gives way to necessity and rea-
son. The ball i'll the magnificent Rotunda
would be a scene of unexampled splendor !;
and as the police of the Capitol is expieri-
enced and well organized, no disorder
should happen. The Vice President elect,
in presence of the President elect, is sworn
in in the Senate chamber and then the lat
ter proceeds to the eastern portico, where,
in the face of the American peaple, he is
sworn in by the Chief Justice.

Report of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

In this important Report, it Will be
seen that during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1868, the sum of one hundred
and ninety-onc million dollars was col
lcctcd from internal revenue, the cx-
pcnsc of collecting which was five per
cent. The heavy items in this account
are the taxes paid on the indulgence of
popular appetite. The amount received,
for instance, from the tax on chewing
and smoking tobacco was, in round
numbers, fifteen million dollars Add
to this the cost of production and deal
ers' profits, which is estimated to be
five times more than the revenue tax,
amounting to scvcnty-tivc million dol
lars All the railroads paid together
less than seven millions, the insurance
companies less than two millions, and
the telegraph and express companies
not a million between them, SO that

small vices, as they are called-are
really bigger things" in the Commits
sioner's report, than all the railroads,

companies in the United States taken
together. The number of cigars taxed
was six hundred millions. 1t is calcu-
lated as many more are used through
smuggling, making grand total yearly
expenditure in the United States of ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS

wound, while the hilt, or in other words
the fish itself broke away. He quoted
examples of this wonderful weapon be-
inc driven through fourteen inches Of
copper sheathing, felt, deal, and oak !;
his evidence simply demonstrated the
enormous power of this formidable
monster In the case before him, Prof
Owen admitted that the fish, having
passed its dagger through only three
inches Of wood, might possibly have
withdrawnit. Aprcciscly similar Illus
tration was presented to him several
years ago, except that the sword was
broken, and actually stopped a leak
which might otherwise have been fatal
to the ship.
