Know We The Land.

Know We the land where the iceberg and myrtle,
With early green peas and walrus combine;
Where the Esquimaux sups upon trufies and
turtle,
And the white Polar bears upon Esquimaux
dine?
Where the sailor might sail the Kuitchpek to its
source,
Were not that broad stream always frozen of
course?
Know ye the land Of the Koosaqueeuim,
Where the roses are blooming all the year round,
Where the nightingale sings in the icicles dim,
And the oranges ripen with snow on the ground.
Where the ice never melts, as your bard is as
sured,
Where the flowers never fade-vide Letters of
Seward?
Know ye the land of Koranddorskurs,
Where the Esquimaux maiden goes to the
dance
Kept cool by her fan, and kept warm by her furs,
And her fantastic toes in their broad snow
shoes glance?
Where the Polar bear bowls in the barley and
wheat,
And the settlers bowling for something to eat
IT'S the land Of the Gear IT'S the land we have
woni
Can we smile on such deeds as our Senate has
done?
oh wild as the immigrants latest farewells,
Are the letters of Seward, the tales that he tells.
OH know ye that land? IT'S the land of the ice,
IT'S big Russian land, at rushin' big price.

THREE "GREEN" MOUNTAIN BOYS
The Troy Wing of Saturday says: "On
Thursday night, Charles Hammer, David
Alger, and a son of the latter, arrived in
this city from Bristol, Vt, and were in
duced through the agency of runner to
pass the night at Coles place in Union
Alley. Before going in. Hammer gave
the elder Alger about $50. The net re-
suit of the operation was that the party
issued from the place yesterday morning
devoid of funds, with the exception of
800, which had been sewed up in the
pocket of David Alger. Then a quarrel
ensued, Hammer contending that the two
Ayers had robbed him of his money, and
the latter that they had been robbed by
the female boarders, and that besides
Hammers money they had lost $50 of
their own. Sergeant Burke made direct
enquiries at the house, and was told by
Cole that the whole party were drunk,
and that $65 was spent in treating the
house. 1t seems to have been a verv had
case. AT the trial yesterday afternoon,
the Aigers consented to give up one-half
of their reserve 800 to settle the matter.
We have no pity for any of the trio.
They are evidently not of that class of
young men who come down off the Green
Mountains and grow up to be our wealth.

in motion, with orders to catch any VII
lain of this khan, the better it will be ior
the country. The Ku-Klux are waging
war. Let them have the benefit OF war.
6 The New York Tribune says: z
The assassination of John G Dickin-
son in Mariana, Florida, which we
record this morning, is only one OF the
hundreds Of painful illustrations OF the
need for the early application of the con-
templsted bill for suppressing the Ku-
Klux, This man, the last leading Re-
publican in a county in which sixty Re-
publicans have been murdered in two
wears, was shot dead on Monday night, for
no other offense than that of being Re-
publican and an office holder. In the
face of facts like these can the Senate
long hesitate in the duty 80 clearly before
il. Prominent Floridians here say that
though an invalid Mr.. Dickinson was a
man of energy and ability.
The Boston Journal says:
The assassination of Mr.. ]. c. Dickin-
son in Mariana. Florida, just made pub
lie, marks the death of the last leading
Republican in a county in which sixty
Republicans have been murdered in two
years. He was shot for no other offense
than that of being a Republican and an
office holder. Justice will yet overtake
these Southern midnight assassins
The Springfield Republican comments
thus:
jackson county, Florida, will be an ex-
cellent field for the government to exer-
else the powers about to be conferred
upon it by the new Ku-Klux bill. More
than sixty Republicans have been muir
dered in that county within the last two
years, the last being ]. @. Dickinson
Clerk of the State Court and Assistant
United States Marshal, who was shot
dead at Mariana, on Wednesday. Sc
great is the intimidation of Republicans
in the county, that though they really
have majority of $50, at the last election
it was reduced to eighteen.
