IL Is DelleVed that the resting place OF the
body of Thomas Francis Meagher has been
discovered. 1t was in 1867, while Acting
Governor of Montana Territory, that he fell
from steamer, at Fort Benton, into the Mis-
souri, river, and was drowned. His wife. at
the time, offered reward of 81 600, and Mon
tana Territory offered similar reward, for
The recovery of his body, but it never was
found. About month later, one James To
DIN, while on gold-exploring expedition,
met, near Fort Buford, a pioneer, who spoke
OF burying the body of man he found in the
river, which. from the description given, is
now believed to be that OF General Meagher.
Iobin has just returned from Washington
Territory, and there is some talk at Yankton
OF organizing party to recover the remains
of the eminent patriot.
Monday was red-letter day in the annals
of the Boston Woman's Club, that body cele-
brating the anniversary of the birth of Mar
garet Fuller OsSoi. whose brilliant and re-
markable life began sixty years ago, and whose
memory is held in the highest reverence by
those who at all understood her. 1t drew to-
gentlemen who united in paying tributes of
personal affection and admiration to her life
| and character. 1t was strictly private affair
members of the club and invited guests only
being admitted. The company present was,
however, large enough to crowd the roomy
with flowers, the mantels, pictures, and chan
deliers being loaded with blossoms, while even
the tiniest cherubs held little petaled sprigs as
they swung in the fragrant air. Rev. James
Freeman Clarke, DR.. Hedge, W. ii. Claiming
and Col. Higginson were the speakers. A
considerable number of Margaret Fuller's pri-
vatc letters were read. Mr. C. P. Cranch read
very finely drawn poetic tribute to her
| memory, in six cantos. The following is
| taken from the fourth canto:
Her sweet persuasive voice we still can hear,
Ruling her charmed circle like que n;
While wit and fancy sparkled ever clear
Her graver moods oetweea.
The ure perennial heat
OF youths ideal love fore Yer glowed
Through all her thoughts and words, and oyerfowed
| The listeners round her seat.
| So, like some inestrung golden harp,
| Tuned by many twist and warp
U discipline and patient toll,
| Ana oft d1ShearteD,ng recOii;
Affirmed 10 highest and to bumblest use,
All her large. heroic nature
Grew to its harmonious stature,
Nor any allotted Serr ice did refuse,
While those around her but half understood
How wise she was, how good
How nobly seif-.ienying as she taslled
deart, 1nlnd and strength for truth nobler office
asked.
Hayti is no better off than it was before
the death OF Salnave. One of the Piquet
| chiefs tha notnriouc C;G,.a 1,I,o x,,oe ono ~
Salnave's leaders. has escaped from Jeremie
and appeared on the plains of Aux Cages
with band of followers. They have burned
and pillaged the village of Pora Piment, kill
ing men, women and children, and commit
ting most horrible atrocities. Siffra was one
of the most brutal of the Piquet leaders. and
has long score to settle for murders and
ether barbarities committed during and since
the time of Sanave. TIE disturbance at
Gonaives. caused by an oppositIUn 10 the gov
eminent, had been quieted and order again
| restored.
Iu Boston on Monday, while some work
men were engaged in clearing up the debris
of brick building which had been torn down
on Eastern Avenue, a partition wall which
bad been left standing, was thrown down by
the jar of some timbers and the pressure of a
| pile of loose bricks which had been thrown
against it, and five men were buried beneath
| it. Three were dead when taken cut and il
is feared the others were fatally injured.
Annexation is being actively urged in Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick. and associations
for that purpose exist in all the large towns
and villages. Public meetings are held, at
which stirring speeches are made, and pam
phlets are openly distributed setting forth the
advantages to be derived from annexation L
this country. All this is in marked contras
to the feeling which formerly existed. TIE
years ago the open advocacy now so prevabnt
would have been resented, and sociaIostra
cism, or even personal violence, wodd nave
been resorted to. The change IeehnS is
largely attributable to the unppulaflty OF the
recent confederation of tb< provinces. The
Nova Scotians have beer bitterly opposed to
the Dominion schemsfom the first, and the
feeling seems to re intensified every year.
Ultimately, we,have no doubt, the annexa
tionists wpoe successful.
