THE WHITE ISLAND.

In this world, the Isle of Dreams,
While We sit by sorrow's streams,
Tears and terrors are our themes,
Reciting;
But when once from here we fly.
Here and mole approaching nigh,
Unto young eternity,
Uniting;
In that whittier island, where
Things are evermore sincere
Candor here and lustre there
Delighting
There no monstrous terrors shall
Out of hell horror call,
To create or cause at all
Affrighting
There in calm and cooling sleep
We our eyes shall never steep,
But eternal watch shall keep,
Attending;
Pleasures, such as shall pursue
Me immortalized. and you
And fresh joys, as never to
Have ending.

FELT HIS Own PULsE-A good story
is told by the Attica, Indiana, Ledger, of a
physician of that place, who was called upon
TO visit sick man, after he had, himself,
taken drop or two too much. Arrived at
the bedside, he fumbled over his patient a
little, and at last got hold of his own pulse,
which he felt for a little while, and then,
with customary medical gravity remarked,

BROWN'.S BCLW1RKS.

The austere Brutus, who vas armed so strong
in honesty that threats passed by him as the
idle winds which he respected not, has been
improved upon by Brown, the street-cleaner
Honesty might have served as a panoply in
the stern days preceding Thillipp. but Brown
knows his era far too wdl to use any such
flimsy material in his intrNchments. Having
assumed q contract to clean all the streets of
this city for $49s,j0O and having determined
to have the money without rendering the
equivalent, it was plain that he must build his
bulwarks Of something better suited to his ext
gencies than honesty.
His first precaution was to intrench himself
behind Ring that could not be riddled, for 1T
was composed of the Mayor, Recorder, Con-
troller, and Corporation Counsel; the very
officials to whom he was to look for approval
of his proceedings and payment of his stpends.
These same officials had indeed been indg-
nantly particular with Whiting, who did some
work and got little money, for Whiting was
not their OK and was gored; but Brown, who is
their creature, does muck less work and gets
all his cash without protest or quibble. Thus
the contract that was tho burden of
Whiting became the blessing of Brown, and
that sensible contractor showed admirable
judgment in iiterposing these officials as n
barrier against public condemnation. True,
they cost something; but had Brown attempted
the anachronisn of honesty, precious little re-
spect or profit would he have got, and he
wisely chose half loaf rather than go with
out bread. Thst he acted discreetly is shown
by the fact thG his chosen fortress proved a
very Gibraltar. Public clamor that had ragged
around the earl of Whiting, passed mildly by
Brown, and he police who had been spies
upon the one have neglected to take cognizance
of the laches of the other. Police captains
who were prompt and exact in making weekly
reports of the deTelictions of Whiting are
silent as to the lapses of Brown, although, some
few keeping NJ the excellent custom of making
such reports, we are enabled to discover that
during the past week Brown did no cleaning in
the Fifth and Ninth Wards. and was partial in
his operations in the Seventeenth Ward, although
he had contracted to clean, and was paid for
cleaning, every street i'll all of them, at least
once during tina, period. Happy in this golden
silence of the police, Brown is more blessed in
the neglect of the press. His promises and
failures have not been harped upon by jour
nails that were constantly and properly stirring
Whiting to the full performance of his duty.
We conclude that Brown know what he waa

Texas, and her early readmissiOn as one of
the States of the Union.
Gen. Davis, the Governor elect, is reported
to be gentleman well qualified to fill the
Executive chair of his adopted State. Born in
Florida and reared in the South, his sympa-
hies were with the Southern people; but this
did not blind him as to the fatal heresies OF
Secession, which lie at all times boldly and
fearlessly denounced. He loved his State and
the South, but owed higher allegiance to the
Republic. When the Rebellion finally burst
upon the country, he entered the army, and,
though civilian, rose to the grade OF Briga-
dier-G General of Volunteers. Before the war,
as a Judge, he bore the reputation of a
faithful and fearless administrator of the law,
and we venture little in saying that he will
maintain that reputation as the Governor of

Another great movement, and one which is
likely to affect more extended interests than
any other, is the joining of Long Islands great
CITY of Brooklyn to New-York by the pro-
jected bridging of the East River-the latest
phase of which, as we have learned from very
good authority, is that, in addition to down
town bridges of great capacity for the business

seekers are to have an uptown bridge, span
ming the river at BlackwelPs Island, and con-
stituting the connecting link to grand drive
or boulevard, uniting the magnificent Central
and Prospect Parks of the sister cities.

LONG ISLAND.

Long Island is fast assuming the Importance
it should have long years since possessed, and
to which it is entitled by nature, in its relative
position to New York City. Railways are being
extended along both its northern and southern
borders, and the beautiful villages which over
look the sound on the north and the ocean on
the south are being rapidly brought within
easy access Of the metropolis, while the original
or midland line of railway is. under its present
able management being vastly improved in
quality and continuity of metals, character of
rolling stock, and the frequency and rapidity
of movement of its trains. The agricultural
and horticultural resources of the Island are
being developed and their superiority under
stood. Vegetables, fruits and grains of all
kinds thrive to perfection. The best asparagus
we can bring to our tablcs-the "Oyster Bay !"
is produced upon Long Island. The world
renowned Newtownl Pippin," superlativey the
finest variety of apple extant, was originally
a Long Island Seeding; and the wheat which
more nearly than any other meets all the re-
ouirements of the European market is the
Long Island Red Wheat" grown extensively
upon the eastern portion of the Island. It's
fisheries, which ever afforded most profitable
occupation for o large portion of its inhabit-
ants become more and more prolific, both in
the table and oil-producing varieties. During
the last Summer even tuns in quantity of the
delicious Spanish Mackerel" were caught in n
single day in the great bays Of the "South Side
and 4" East End,n and the manufactures for ex-
tracing the oil from the +" Alosa Menhaden"
never experienced as long season, nor more
abundant catch" In the Winter, the she'll
fish from the same waters rank with the first
in quality of any which reach our market.
Added to these "lururies.' as they may be
termed, are the great geological advantages OF
quick, fertile soil level of gently undulat~
ing surface free from distractions to the hus-
bandman, and a naturally aud thoroughly
underdrained basis, the last rendering practi-

The first gun fired after the formal Organiza-
ton of the Legislature was by Senator Tweed,
who made motion to repeal the officially
given and announced ratification by this State
of the XVIII Amendment. 1t is just possible
that if the Big Indian tries to paddle that
canoe up Niagara Falls, he may find the under
taking too much for him. The water of the
political Niagara, from which mis- party has just
risen in a half-drowned condition, still flows
forward, and the XVIII Amendment will
doubtless be adopted without the slightest re-
gard to the opinions or desires of Mr.. Super
visor Street Commissioner Senator r-Tammany-
Sachem Tweed, or any of his followers.
New-York tribune., 1870-01-05

There is a story from Red River that the
partisans of Gov. McDougall have persuaded
the Sioux Indians to make raid upon Mime
sota in retaliation for the part which, it is
alleged, Americans have taken in the Winni-
peg iutrgues. This i'll agrees with Gov.
McDougall's warm disclaimer of any intention
to make use of savages, to ciyilize his enc
mics, or the remark which we have seen
in a Canadian paper that our people
have abstained from meddling in the affairs
of the Red River country. For the present
we prefer not to believe rashly the Sioux
story. We trust the Canadians will be as slow
to credit the charge that our people have in
dustriously laid a train to explode their
Dominion. The act of the Red River in
surgents bears their own original sign manual,
and, according to Gov. McDougall himself, was
mainly dictated by causes with which Amer
leans have nothing to do. If the neighbor-
hood of prosperous and populous States is to
be suspected as something in the nature of
conspiracy, we do not know what will help
the Canadians except to turn cOnspirators, and
plot for annexation.

as a scientific experiment. She certainly took
no food during the eight days that the sys-
tematic professional watching lasted. When
it became evident that she was sinking for
want of nourishment, the physician in attend
ance made faint suggestion that food should
be offered her, but the child's father refused,
and he said no more. SO the murder went on.
The nurses were instructed TO offer her moth
ing to eat or drink, but to give her Doursh-
ment if she asked for it. She did not ask, so
she died. Any physician knows that in cases
of this kind it is comparatively easy to inject
food into the stomach if the patient obstinately
refuses to swallow but the main object seems
to have been not to save the Child's life, but
to ascertain whether starvation would kill her

New-York tribune., 1870-01-05

Judge HOar desires that the President should
not withdraw his name from the Senate, as a
nominee for the position of an Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. He says that
he prefers his place in the Cabinet; that
he did not seek the nomination to
the Supreme Court; that he does not care
for either place, and that he insists upon
decision by the Senate as to the
nomination made by the President.
Coupled with this come intimations
from various quarters that the tendencies
in the Senate are rather in favor of Judge
Hoars confirmation. We have some doubts as
to the truth of these limitations, and are
not entirely certain that it would not
be wiser on the part of the President TO accept
the suggestion made some days ago in these
columns, to withdraw Judge Hoar and nominate
some tried and trusty Southern lawyer for this
vacancy on the Supreme Bench to which so
general feeling of the public indicates that a
Southern man ought to be appointed.

Lopez has probably been driven into Bolivia,
ms is claimed by the latest report from Brazil
ian sources since the agreement of the Allies
to withdraw large portion of their army is
announced. Thus, after war which has tried
to extremity the powers of three peoples, Bra
zilians, if not Argentines, may take hope. The
loss of two hundred millions half by
Brazil, is offset 10y the ruin of Paraguay. The
endurance of Lopez and the persistence OF
Dom Pedro have been similarly worthy of his
torical record question remains as to how
the Brazilian Emperor shall make good the
sum he has invested in conquerng Paraguay
and it is one which much concerns his Argen-
tine ally
