The following poem was read at the recent
e-union of the Army of the James, by Col
John Hay, its author.
"in the dream OF the Northern poets
The brave, who i'll battle die,
Fight on in shadowy phalanN,
In the field of the upper sky.
And as we read the sounding rhyme
The rcverent fancy hears
The CHASTITY ring of the viewless swords
And the clash of the spectral spears.
We think with imperious questonings
Of the brothers that we have lost
And we strive to track in deaths mystery
The Hight Of each valiant ghost
The Northern myth comes back to us,
And we feel through our sorrows night
mat these. young souls are striving still
somewhere for the truth and light.
1t was not their time for rest and Sleep
Their hearts beat high and strong;
In their fresh veins the blood of youth
was singing its hot sweet song.
The open heaven bent over them,
Mid flowers their 1.-THE feet trod;
Their lives lay vivid in light, and blest,
BY the smiles of women and God
Again they come, again hear
The tread of that goodly band;
know the flash of Ellsworths eye
And the grasp of his hard warm hand
And Putnam and Shaw, of the lion heart,
And an eye like Boston girls.
And see the light of heaven which shonc
On Uric Dahlgren's curls.
There is no power in the gloom of hell
To quench those spirits fire,
There is no charm III the bliss of heaven
To bid them not aspire.
But somewhere in the eternal plan,
That strength, that life survive,
And like the files on Lookouts crest
Above deaths clouds they strive.
A chosen corps, they are marching on,
In wider fields than ours
Those bright batalllons still fulfill
The scheme of heavenly powers,
And high brave thoughts float down to us
The echoes Of that far fight,
Like the fash OF distant pcket's guns
Through the shades of the severing night.
No fear for them in our lower field,
Let us to it with arms sustained,
That at last we be worthy to stand with them
On the shining nights they've gained.
We shall meet and greet in closing ranks
In Times declining sun,
When the bugles of God shall sound recall,
And the battle of life be won.p

The Tichborne trial draws crowded houses
4 writer says:
81 believe there are thousands who would
willingly pay five dollars day for a seat
and who at the present moment envy nobody
SO much as a Tichborne juryman. Even they
are, am told, now so much interested that
they are quite reconcied to their fate. If
the claimant be really ga fraud" it is awful
to reflect what must be the mental atmos-
phere Of a man who for six months together
tells lies steadily for six hours day."

THE PRESS.

Alexander II. Stephens has become
political editor of the Atlanta Sun. The
press is the great power at last. During
the last century the opinions of the peo-
pie were moulded and directed by books
and pamphlets. These came from the
press at intervals varying from months
to years. The newspaper had not then
become a power. 1t was in its infancy,
but still exhibiting muscle. hope and en-
terprise. Now it is more than book
thrown from the press daily, and cireu-
lated in the very wilderness itself The
wood-chopper reads it in the solitude OF
the forest, while the trapper, watching
BY the streams that pour down from the
Rocky Mountains, entertains himself
with columns that discuss the politics
of Washington and the faEnions Of
Paris. Mr.. Stephens has written books
and delivered many speeches, but
they did not bring him into the pres
ence of the people as newspaper does
the mind that controls it. His great
power, no matter what course in the
present state of things his mind may
take, will be felt. Whoever reads his ar
ticles will feel that he is listening to one
capablevof instructing him. We are
afraid, however that he will fritter his
talents away on exploded issues and use
less distractions. The old generally
dislike change The young are wretchcd
without it. The state Of things that ex
listed when Mr.. Stephens was in politics
is sadly changed A new generation of
politicians, with new principles and poll
cies, has pushed the old men from posi-
tons, and possess the will and the power
to rule the country. They care moth
ing for the old issues that d.
vided parties when Clay was the
leader of the Wings and jackson
was the master spirit Of the Democracy.
A breath OF change has swept over the
country, and the men who hold or seek
power now have no veneration for the
principles of the grand old fathers who
made the republic renowned all over the
world. To return to the old principles
of the Government is something this
generation will never do. Another must
be educated up to the work.

NEW YORK, June 2l-noon. The

WHAT sINl

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus dis
courseth {" As if Radicalis,n, with its
mongrelism and corruption, was not a
sufficient infection on the country, the
Colorado potato-bug, seventeen year To-
Gusts, and all manner Of new, strange
and destructive insects must also put
in an appearance, and demand their
place and rations under the new order Of
things. While slavery existed the pull
pits Of the North would resound with
prophetic warnings Of the Divine pun
ishment for the great national sin;
now that slavery is washed out in blood,
and no longer serves for melancholy pre-
dictions, to what great national sin
are we to attribute the continuance Of
Radicalism, and the appearance Of the
potatO-bug and other crop-destroying
insects2"

Of proof spirits capable Of being rx-

much on the skill Of the distiller As
much as seventeen quarts has been pro-

good distlleries. with all the modern

teen quarts; but the general average in
all the disilleHes in the country is much
less.
