THE APRIL RAIN.

The April Faini The April ratni
l hear the pleasant sound.
Now soft and still, Ike the little dew;
Now drenching all the ground.
Pray tell me why an April shower
Is pleasanter 20 see
Thai falling drops Of other rain?
I'm sure it is for me.
I wonder II lis really so,
Or only Hope the while
That tells OF swelling buds me flowers.
And Summer 5 coming smilee
Whate'er it is, the April shower
Makes me a child again.
1 feel a rush Of youthful blood
Come with the April rain.
And sure were I a little bulb
Within the darksOme ground,
I should love to hear the april rain
SO gently falling round;
Or any tiny flowers were l..
By Nature sWaddled up,
How pleasantly the April shower
Would bathe my hidden cup.
The small brown seed that ratified down
On the cold AutumnaI earth,
Is bursting from Us csrements forth,
Rejoicing in its birth;
"a slender spears Of pale green grass
Are smiling in the light;
The clover Opes its folded leaves
As # IL felt delight.
The robin sings on the leaness tree,
And upward turns his his eye,
And loving much to see the drops
Come differing from the sky.
No doubt he longs the bright green leaves
bou his home to see,
And feels the sWaylug summer winds
Play IN the full rObed tree.
The cottage dOor IS open wide,
And cheerful sOunds are heard:
A young girl sings at the merry wheel
A song like the wiiding bird;
The creeping child by the old worn sill
Peers out with winking re,
And his rtnglets rubs with chubby ha nd,
As the drops come pattering by.
With bounding heart beneath the sky
The ruant boy Is out,
And hoop and ball are darling by
With many a merry shOut
Ay, sport away, ys joyous thrOng,
FOR yours is the April day;
! love to see your spirits dance
In your pure and healthful play.

Tennessee Turf Gossip.

From the Turf, Field and Farm.l
GALLATIN, April 5,1S7O.-In speak
ing of my favorite stations in Ten
nessee and Kentucky in my last, l
made two palpable omissions in Ten
neSsee. Iallude to Watson and Bull
letin. The former is as well bred on
the dams side as any son of Lexing-
ton, and his half-brother, Rhynodine,
had few if any superiors at four mile
heats, and l hardly think it is possible
for Watson to fail as a fOal getter,
if he gets the right sort of mares.
Bulletins son, Donovan, Ihas proved
that when he is properly cDssed his
patrons may expect fine runners. Bull
letin ought to cross finely on the AL
biOn mares. / was glad to see the
able vindication of the game four
miller by your able correspondent,
who wrote so lengthily in your two
last papers. He has enumerated a
brilliant list of winners fer American
Eclipse. He is certainly in error in
saying Polly Hopkins was by Sir Viii
liam. She was certainly by the in
Vincible Virginian. He is also in
error with regard to Midas. He GER
tainly was full brother to MedOc, and
but for his early death, would have
been equally distinguished in every
way. He was by American Eclipse,
out of Young Maid of the Oaks.
Your correspondent is right in say
ing the bone of the bloOded
horse is much finer and heavier than
that of the C~OnestOga. Patsy Wath-
APIS skeleton, although she was not
FIVE feet high, was heavier than the
skeleton of the largest COnestOga that
could be found, although their huge
bodies were weighed for years, trying
to get one heavier than hers. She
was a small, delicate thoroughbred,
daughter of imported Medley. took
a leg bone Ofmy fine old mare, Patty
Puff. It was almost as heavy as lead;
and when broken, resembled ivory
good deal. She was unsurpassed in
Europe or America in the purity other
pedigree. 1t is telling powerful in the
performances of some of u best
racers. Mary Wynne, for instance.
Several fortunes have been made out
Of the produce of my two old brood
mares, Patty Puff and Nell Sanders.
All the stock of General WoOdfork
descended from Nell, including Harry
of the West and his full brothers and
sisters. l was glad to learn that Mary
Hadley had produced a foal by Knight
of st. George, or War Dance. She is,
/ think, the handsomest mare in
America. 1 never saw a more
beautiful mare, except the full
sister to Patty Puff. She be-
longed to Mary's family. So did
Tennessee, Oscar and Washington,
who beat Walk-in-the-Water three
mile heats at Huntsville, when Wash
ington was only three years old. Mary
Hadley ought to be bred to Planet, as
her full sister, Florence Nightingale,
has the best colt in Tennessee by him.
Planet is superior to any horse in the
world without eyes. Save the coun-
try from blind horses.

A SUGGESTION has been made to
us by some of u friends, that il
would be well to postpone the day OF
the meeting of the Convention for
awhile. 1t seems to us that the sug-
gestion is a good one. Some of the
delegates desire further time, to
ascertain the wishes of their con-
stituents. The Executive Com
mittee is authorized to postpone the
Convention. Or 1t can meet to adj
journ to a later day. A nomination
a week Orten days before the election
will be early enough for all practical
purposes. Besides the delegates from
the county, it is believed, have not
been fully appointed.

THE Mobile Register complains
that the interests of Mobile are not
fostered by the Alabama Legislature,
while it is giving aid to enterprises
for the benefit of other cities and
States. The misfortune is that Mobile
is a village rather costly to help and
badly situated to build up. Nothing
but direct trade can make anything
Of that town, and that is likely to be
carried on sufficiently by New Or
leans, Charleston and other places
better situated for the purpose. There
are so many points on the coast
which suit better for commercial en-
terprises that it will be uphill work,
and must sink many millions to give
the little place anything like a start
among cities. If it had the natural
advantages of Memphis there would
be some sense in spending money on
it. But, as it is, the chances are rather
poor. The Register goes in for an
nexation to Mississippi as a forlorn
hope. 1t says:
The State government of Alabama hes
indeed proved a poor nursing mother to
its only sea port. FOrgetful that for
wears Mobile has contributed one-tifth
of the entire State taxes to the general
treasury, the State has not only been
parsimOniOus in her help and sympa-
thies toward this city, but it has fOstered
interests to create a rival to her in an
other State, and to make that rivalry
sure, it has taken active measures to an
mex to Alabama a portion of the Florida
territory embracing that rival; nor has
the hostility been confined to State legis-
lative action. Works of internal i'm
provements having their strength
and capital conferred in certain
interior towns, have for the most
part been constructed not only without
reference to, but in antagonism to the
prosperity of the seaport of the State.
This spirit of hostility, whatever its
cause, is of no recent origin. 1t is as old
as our memory reaches back. Now, if
the commonwealth of Alabama wants to
get rid of Mobile, we think we can say
that Mobile is quite ready to help
it in any proper measure of divorce
from a harsh and unfeeling step
mother. When she adopts the Florida
section of territory as her child, let
her al, the same time negotiate with
Mississippi to take of of her hands the
child of her own IOins which seems to
have been weaned from her love. The
editor of the Aercu1y gives US plenty of
good reasons to prove that this city, az
the seaport of Mississippi, would be
greatly the gamer in the fostering care
she would exchange for cold neglect.
Though not yet publicly discussed, this
subject occupies mems minds, and in
view of the past, and the probable future,
we are prepared to regard the proposition
of annexation to Mississippi In a favor
able light.

THE Chicago Tribune (Radical) is
lecturing its party on the lesson con-
tanned in the Connecticut defeat. II
is sharp after some of the leaders for
hindering the admission of Georgia
and Texas, and thus losing Governor
Jewell the negro vote, which was ex-
pected. The Tribune moreover says
sit is a matter of more interest to
know what has become of our white
voters" and that latter putting to-
gether the funding bill, the project
for keeping Georgia out of the Union,
and the Domingo sell, it is not diff
cult to account for the detection of
enough votes in Connecticut to turn
the scale" On which the Philadel-
phia Age remarks "these are hard
hits at the party of which the Tribune
is a leader. But they are founded
upon truth, and will bSfully verified

schools, upon the bench, and into the
jury box" 81.

GOVERNOR SENTER is likely to
come out at the "Iittle end of the
horn" Tennessee is now more COM
pletely quiet than it was when he dis
banded the militia and declared that
order and peace prevailed. Yet now
it is that he asks for troops to preserve
order; and when he is called on to
give, on oath, some of his reasons for
doing 50, he shrink back appalled,
and dares not do it. IN his desire to
obey his Washington masters, he con-
fesses the necessity for reconstruction
by asking Federal Intervention; and,
to save himself and head off Fletcher
and Stokes, he admits he could take
Pare Of the state with the militia,
which the Radicals Of the legislature
deprived him of by defeat
ing a quorum. So he falls be-
tween stools, and it is even
now asserted that Butler himself is
tired Of him. The Radical press of
the country handles him contemptu-
ously, ana that of his own State has
nothing TO say in his defense. The
following, from the Jackson Tribune,
is about as mild a compliment as one
is likely TO find in that quarter:
Governor Senter may have acted wisely
in his present policy, N he may reap
great rewards for his political t%reachery,
but we are unable 10 say in what he will
profit by his eccentric course. His politi-
cal DAYS are numbered. He overthrow
Brownlowism, and that wing of the party
despise him in their "heart Of hearts,"
and if his treason to the Conservatives be
confirmed, he will stand alone, like a
ssblasted leaf upon a barren heath" ID.

THE question of holding a conven-
ton to nominate judges for the Su-
preme bench having been agitated, so
far as Middle Tennessee is concerned,
the Union and american advises a
pOstpOnement of the decision of that
question a few weeks longer, and says
" should a convention become neces-
sary it may be held as late as the LIST
of July, and then give ample time to
have its action disseminated and dis
cussed previous to the election in Au-
gust" If two of three gentlemen
who have been already named should
be selected by common consent, it
would seem that a convention might
very well be dispensed with. They
are Edwin H. Ewing, Robert l..
Caruthers and Jordan Stokes, who,
like those 50 far named for West Ten
nessee, have only to be mentioned to
be approved. Judge Wright, of our
District, we have been informed, does
not desire the Office.
