Poetry.
For the Telegraph.
The Sweetest Sound.

BY ELSIE ELLIS.
Is it laughter of children, in their glees
The murmur of the waves upon the
sands
The sound of music, from across the SEES?
Or voices of friends, we knew in other
lands?
Is't merry chimes, which from the church
bells ring!
The dreamy patter Of the rain DER head!
Notes from the 6rst birds returned In spring
The ripping Of the brook DER psbbly bed !?
Is't the angry voice OF the storm-king, nigh
Or solemn grandeur of the thunder's roar!
The noise of tempest, as it sweeps the sky!
Or dashing pillows as they seek the shore ?
Nay, child; tho sweetest sound Of earth, is
heard
In the music OF loving word.

The elephant Romeo, who has already
killed three keepers, has again been on the
rampage in Indiana. The occasion was an
attempt to seperate Romeo from the society
OF the female elephants, where he had come
by chance, He tossed his keeper over wall,
demolished dog by throwing him against
the roof, and greeted the crowd that came to
subdue him by hurting huge timber at
them. They kept him three days without food
or water, but as his rage did not decrease,
they managed to get tackles about his legs
and throw him on his side. Then began the
operation Of tanning. For eight hours they
belabored his body with stout iron rods, land
prodded his TANKS with spears, until at length
he tn rev up the sponge.

A delegate from the Iroquois Indians, OF
Canada, has recently visited the Lower Prov

It is claimed they could thus have better

will be held in Tobique this month with this

Murder made to Appear as Suicide.

In an article in Appleton's Journal
it is stated that murders are often com.
mitted in such a manner that when the
victims are found, they are supposed to
have committed suicide. The assertion
is illustrated as follows:
1t seems that, in The city Of Douren.
a rag-pcker called Thibcrt was seen
in crowd. Of people, who filled the
count house, addressing nm old man Of

from swollen legs, eagerly seized the

man became suspicious and caused Til.

himself on tn" appointed day. The police
then examined his past li!o and traced
his connection with a number of aged
men. Every one OF them had been
found hanged bv means Of a new nail

The Message Of tho Governor.

We present in other columns to- d ay
the inaugural message Of tho Govern.
or and his regular annual message.
Both arc admirable in tone and spirit
aud will commend themselves to the
hearty approval Of every fair-minded
man in tho State.
Further legislation is, as VIC pre-.
dictcd last year, necessary, to protect
the interest Of the State in The phos-
phate deposits.
through Investigation nf tho nf,
fairs Of the Land Commission is re-
commended, and We trust will be
made. The Governor suggests no
definite plan,
Whatever abuse exists must be
corrected or the whole system abolish
cd. An entire revision Of tho whole
system is demanded. The reaoonsi-
bility Of the whole should bo laid on
one man of approved honesty, not
promincntsn politics, aud who can give
u heavy bond for the careful and
faithful performance of his duties.
This only will satisfy tho people and
mako the Land Commission u be-
Left.
The Governor suggests notifications
Of tho Trial Justices system, similar
to those already urgucd by The Ro-
publican, and to which we shall give
our hcarticst support. We hope, too
for the displacement Of unprinciplcd
men wherever they are now in onioo.
Investigation Of the management OF
the County Commissioners is recon-
mcndod. We horc that it will be
speedy, thorough and effective.
The attention of tho Legislature is
again called to the defects in or in,
adequacy of our present system to
secure justice. L is to be hoped
that the present Legislature will not
give the subject the go-by, as did
their predecessors. Hardly any mat
ter will bo broached which is moro
vital to tho safety of tho lives and
property of the humblcst citizens.
h1Thc employment, utilization and
better treatment Of our native labor
is wisely and admirable recommend
We heartily second tho rccommcn-
dation to tax Corporations, at rate
fully equal to that imposed on real
estate, and the proposal to reduce
salaries of some officers whose duties
ne very light.
The proiler Of tho Governor of his
hand to every one who will aid in
securing han mony, peace and pros
pcrity among all our people is sincere
and heartfelt. We hope to 500 a
response which will encourage the
Executive and cheer every heart in
tho State.

A POLITICAL REvoLuTIoN.-It is
stated that a great political, if not
social revolution has just takon place
in Manchester, England. The cleo
ton of members Of the school board
for the city created great excitement
on account of sharp contest between
the "Secularists," who desired to ex-
clude all religious education from
public schools, and tho Non, Secular
lists, who opposed It. The struggle
was also enlivened by the entrance
of two Roman Catholics and woman
into the list. The Roman Catholics
are not only elected, but head tho poll,
while Miss Lydia Becker, who occupits
very much the same position there as
Mrs. Stanton does here, received l5,.
249 votes ont of 26,5l3, and was of
course elected. "Thc Sccnlarists" re
ccived the smallest number of votes of
any Of the successful candidates, and
only three of them were elected. Six
OF the successful candidates belong to
the Church of England. Manchester
thus toIerates religious liberty, grants
equal political rights to women, and
insists upon religious education III the
public schools. 1t does not appear ex-
ac'ly in what that religious education
consists. This election is the more i'm
portant as it reflects the views Of many
il not most OF the large English manu-
featuring cities.
