MNEMOS YNE.
By CLARENCE z. BUTLER.

As Memory from the brink of Iethe gazes,
One little spot astir s-ys.za..ss<srsssasS
Amid It's dark, nlimitable mazes
Is all the world to her.
There still beneath the apple-tree is swaytns -
The swing we loved of yore;
There dear companions of our youth are playing
Round tbs old sehoolhouse door
There are the trees whose butternuts were shaken
- In Autums long ago :
There are the hills where merry rides we're taken
Across the moonlit snow.
There evermoIe the silyery laugh is ringing aS
That once yours and mine,
There evermcre Naiad voice La singing
The songs Of auld lang syne. 2.
Sad is the rpirth where reason has departed
But saddef are the lays
Whose music slumbers with the broken hearted
We knew in better days. q tx
Think not the past irrevoeably faded
1t lives-it lives to-day
With all the old attraetiveness pesvaded,
And melowed by decay.
And when that sryst OF memory is over
And she looks up through tears
Each star that quivers in the sky above her 81
reckoning hand appears.

The Waste OF Fire.

"Oh,. no matter" most people say,
when they read of the destruction Of a
costly building, machinery, a grain
elevator filled with grain,--"no matter;
it was insured" Yes, but insurance
does not cover the loss. What was
destroyed was active, produced capital,
secured to the community after much
labor and time, and it cannot be re-
placed. What paid the immediate
loser was a series of contributions, or
assessments, made by the insurance
companies upon the community. Thus,
in addition to the actual capital de-
stroyed, there is so much more money
gone, too, It is nothing but a blank
loss all round. We are invited to look
at these things as they are, at a season
when fires rage almost without restraint
from oneend of the country to the other.

Vicksburg and Savannah.

[From the vicksburg Hersld,l
The Savannah engine and train which
arrived in our city last Sunday, in
charge of Mr.. w. F. Shellmen, Gen.
eral Agent, and Mr.. ID. NARROW, con-
ductor, with the veteran Joe. Hopkins
at the throttle, left here yesterday morn
ing at o'clock, carrying with it twelve
loaded cars, upon eleven Of which were
placarded in large letters 1925 bales of
cotton-Vicksburg to Savannah, max
ing a total Of 275 bales cotton.
Upon the twelfth car we were graft
fed to notice an inscription in large
and beautifully illuminated letters,
which indicated that our merchants ap-
preciated the importance of the occa-
sion, by filling the car with bacon, etc.,
from their well-filled stores. The in
scription read, Western Produce for
Savannah-with compliments of Vicks-
burg"
We doubt if more perfectly ap-
pointed train, with better officers, ever
travelled the country between the Mis-
sissippi river and the Atlantic Ocean,
and we will look with interest to the
safe arrival of the train at its destina-
ton, as test Of the time our merchants
may depend upon in their future opera
tons, by the new route. We bespeak
for this line the patronage of our mer-
chants, and hope the spirit which
prompted the enterprise of sending this
train to our city will result in great
profit to the railroads of the lines, and
especially to the one presided over by
the great railway man, Mr.. w. NJ. Wad-
ley, whose road this train directly rep
resents. ........
This article indicates that the great
line Of ntercommunication between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, will, in
few years, be opened. AS this line
will cross Red River at Shreveport,
every movement calculated to accom-.
plish that object is encouraging. The
prospect for the early completion of the
gap between Monroe and Shreveport is
very hattering. We have also grounds
for believing the Southern Pacific Rail-
road will be extended very rapidly, as
large capitalists will be interested in
the road.-Ua1ldo Gazette. ..,

Southern Pacific Rialraod.

The editor Of the Vicksburg Herald
has had an interview with G. W.. Ware,
Esq, agent of Jay Cooke & Co., the
wealthy bankers. The editor says of
the interview: 'f-
Mr.. Ware informed ,us that he had
very recently had full and free inter-
change of views with a number of
prominent Congressman, and among
them Gen. Banks. They all express a
determination TO vote To. the Southern
Pacific road, grants of land fully equal
to those made to the Union Pacific.
This they regard as point of honor,
and this they avow their determination
faithfully to do. They are anxious
also, Mr.. Ware, assured US, to come to
vote during the present session.. on
the Southern Pacific bill, and having
thus rendered an act of justice, and re-
deemed their pledges in regard to the
land grants, they declare, most solemn
ly, that, with this bill, the system Of
granting the public lands to railroad
companies must cease! Upon this sub
ject, Mr.. Ware informs us, the senti-
ment in Congress is 80 decided, that
members are anxious to dispose Of the
Southern Pacific road bill, at the
earliest day practicable, and then con-
sign the subject of land grants to the
tomb of the capulets.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The follow

The Germans have abandoned the
siege of Cambria.
The French have inundated the
country around Douai and Arras.
The headquarters of the Army Of the
South are at Blamont.
Adispatch dated Havre, Oath, says;
"The Germans, after making requisi-
ton for 10000 francs, shot four inhabi-
tants and carried off the Mayor and
three councilmen." Name Of the place
omitted.
Turkey declares semi-officially that
henceforth she will rely upon herself
for protection, and not upon the inter-
ests and jealousy of European Powers.
LONDON, Jan. pa Times special,
dated Versailles oath, says Jules Favre
is here proposing the surrender Of Paris
and garrison with honors of war. The
attack on st. Denis and the disaster of
the 10th is the supposed cause of the
proposition. The Germans regard Fav-
res terms inadmissible. Trochu is sick
and Winery commands. A dispatch
adds that the. terms of surrender will
take time; the French demands are too
large.
The Times says editorially:
eff Favre refuses capitulation on the
German terms, Bismarck has the ac-
ceptance Of them by Napoleon and the
Empress, and threatens to restore Ma
poleon." KS,
The Conference has again adjourned
for one week.

see how il can pay for being governed,

eminent at that. There is something
admirable ID such liberality. ion, -.
And while thus with profuse hands,
we, the people, are extending our gifts,
our legislature is providing numerous
ways and means for the increase Of our
munifcence. That dignifled and up
right body is now investigating,
through the agency of select commit
tees, each with paid clerks, into the
sinuous ways of getting rid of the pub
lie funds, with the VIEW, we infer, of
acquainting its verdant members fully
and satisfactorily with that rather in
tricate branch of legislators duties;
so that, seeing and approaching what
has been done, the aforesaid members
may become the objects of the peoples
liberality in all. available ways.
Another purpose may also be accom-
plished, namely, the depreciation of
State warrants, which are now worth
IS cents on the dollar, but which ought
to be worth nothing; since the people
have ready money in abundance to
meet all expenses, and there can be no
use, therefore, for State script. The
State appreciates this wise deduction,
in refusing to receive these warrants
for yearly dues.
We are very much pleased to note
the rapid progress made by liberal Re-
publican politicians in the science of
government, and to observe the hand
some Acknowledgements shown by them
in recognition of their past pledges and
of the peoples wants. Louisiana is
coming round all right. Everything
is serene, and ''the goose hangs high"
The present worth Of our little effects is
all that troubles us now. The State
will inevitably, in few years, get it
all; we should be happy to realize some
thing at once for the usufruct.

than watches have year by year grown into
favor with all who have worn them they
have proved not only reliable but economical,
as repairs are seldom needed. They, like 9th

prices, which afford the retailer but a small
profit compared with that which can be made
on other watches. But they require no urging
They sell themselves Hence, wide-awake
dealers make this up by keeping full stock
and selling larger number Many dealers
now divert their customers from the Waltham
to other inferior watches, and, by disparaging
the Waltham and recommending these COM
paratively unknown watches, they sell them
for higher price. and thus secure larger
profit We understand that Waltham watches
are furnished to the retailer at prices which
will enable him to sell them cheap and yet
