LsPEoIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER srr.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. -,
REPEAL,
The opponents of the income tax are trying to
see if they can't get vote on the question in the
house, but their hopes are small.
IMPROVEMENT OF TIE CONNECTICUT.
The house committee on commerce have
agreed to recommend an appropriation of $780,
900 for the Improvement OF the channel of the
Connecticut river, $4,000 below Hartford, and
$4,000 above They have also agreed on an
appropriation for the Thames river.
MR.. HALE.
Ex-senator John P. Hale, of New Hampshire,
was in both houses to-day, and received much at
tention. His old associates were much shocked
by his appearance. He is but a skeleton of his
former self, and his mind, as well as body, is
seriously affected. He is under the care of DR.,
Bliss of this city.
LIVELY TIME EXPECTED.
lively time may be expected in the house to-
morrow, as dozen attempts will be made to
suspend the rules to get up private jobs, Two
or three railroad land grants are among them,
but it is generally conceded that none of them
except the Southern Pacific, can pass.
OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.
Some Of the American members of the joint
commission to adjust our differences with En-
gland, express the opinion that their work will
be concluded within Il month after the begin
ming. All that they will do will be to settle the
principles upon which the claims on each side
shall be adjusted, and the laborious work of eX-
aiming and allowing individual claims will 80
to another and inferior commission. Ii posi-
BILE, the fishery dispute will be settled by final
treaty.
If the commission is able to agree on the
claims arising from the war, the result will be
put into the shape of a treaty aud submitted to
the respective governments. 1t will be seen that
it is not a subject for long arguments, but that
settlement depends altogether upon the opin-
ions and feelings of the commissioners. If the
English commissioners are not willing to con-
cede what the American commissioners consider
Indispensable, that fact will become apparent in
a few days. The president is so hopeful on the
subject that he confidently expects to be able to
submit a treaty to the senate before the first Ct

Signal Office, 80 A. M.-Synopsis of weather
report for the past twenty-four hours: The
heavy storm sweeping over the country Is now
felt, with high winds, on the east Atlantic. A
rain is reported from the south Atlantic, with
strong northers on the gulf. The present clouds
and storm will probably not be succeeded by set
tied clear weather, at least in the middle and
eastern states, but clouds and fresh winds are
rather to be anticipated. 1t is not improbable
that the rain reported from Augusta will arrive
here to-day.

EREN'S FLAG
BY FATHER RYAN.

unfurl Erin's flag fling its folds TO the breeze
Let it float er the land, let ii flash Ger the seas;
Lift ii out of the duSt-let it wave as of yore-
When its chiefs with their clans stood around
it and swore
That never!-no never, while God gave them
And they have an arm and sword for the strife,
That neyer!-no never that Banner would
As long as the heart of ,Celt was its shield;
While the hand of Celt had weapon to WELD,
And his last drop of blood was unshed on the
field.
Lift it up wave it high its as bright as of old,
Not stain on its Green, not Il blot on its Gold,
Though the woes and the wrongs OF three hum
Have drenched Erin's sunburst with blood,
Though the clouds of oppression enshroud it
And around it the thunders of tyranny boom,
Look aloft! look aloft! 10! the clouds drifting
There's gleam through the gloom, there's a
light in the sky,
'Tis the Sunburst rcsplendent-far flashing on
Erin's dark night is waning, her day dawn is
nigh!
Lift it upl lift it up, the old banner of Green {!
The blood of its sons has but frightened its
What though the Tyrant has trampled it
Are its folds not emblazoned with deeds of re-
What though for ages it droops in the dust.
Shall it drooP thus forever?-no! no! God is
Take it up! take it up! from the tyrant's foul
Let him tear the Green fiag-wc will snatch its
And beneath it wen bloed as our forefathers
And wen VOW by the dust in the graves of our
dead.
And Wen swear by the blood which the Briton
has she'd
And well VOW by the wrecks which through

Died down in the ditchcs-wild-howling for
bread,
And wen VOW by our heroes, whose spirits
And wen swear by the bones in each cofHnless

That wen battle the Briton through danger
and dread;
That wen cling to the cause which we glory to
Till the CLEAN of our steel and the shock of our
lead
Shall prove to our foe that we meant what we
That wen lift up the Green and wen tear down

Lift up the Green flag oh it wants to go home;
Full long has its lot been to wander and roam;

But its folds, like their hopes are not faded nor

Like weary-winged bird, to the East and the

That banner must blaze mid the hghtnlng OF

Lay your hands on its folds, lift your gaze to

And swear that you'll bear it triumphant or die,
And shout to the clans scattered far oer the

And wherever the EXiles, meath heavens broad

THE wRECKER's WAGER.

There are few parts of England more
wild and desolate than The mining dis
tricts of Cornwall. Nature, as a coun~
terpoise to the treasures which she has
lavished upon this region, has given to its
external features most forbidding aspect,
The eye takes in prospect of bleak and
barren plains, with neither tree nor shrub
to protect the traveller from the wind that
sweeps across them, and presenting dan
ger at every step form the numerous shafts
by which they are intersected. 1t is truly
an inhospitabe country, and the nature OF
its inhabitants quite accord with It's un-
friendly characteristics. They are, to a
great extent, repulsive in appearance,
forbidding in manners, and cruel and
cunning by natural disposition, and seem
hardly to have risen very much above the
barberous state of their ancestors. 1t
was late in the autumn when | visited
this region, and towards the close of a
gloomy day that l found myself at the
residence of Captain Thomas-so L shall
call him-a man whom | had met In
London, and who bad persuaded me that
the only sure way TO make a fortune was
to invest trife of ready money in coP>
per mine. He held the title of captain,
by the custom of the country, as mine,
like a ship, is conducted by captain
and officers. The captain was rather
decent specimen of his class, for where
there are so many combinations of miner.
smuggler, wrecker, and consequently rut-
fan, a man Of even tolerable manners and
address is something. My worthy friend,
however, had one besetting weakness
which afterwards discovered; /; he would
have deemed it quite admissible to have
robbed his own father, rather than not TO
have robbed at all.
Our supper being over, he proposed an
adjournment to the ''Red Dragon" or red
something-it is SO long ago | have almost
forgot-where he assured me i would
meet a most respectable society of gentle
men, and where | might pick up much
valuable information. They were all
particular friends of his, captains and pur-
sers of mines. Ii was dismal night
when we sailed out, thick mist was
gathering around, the sea was breaking
against the huge rocky cliff of the coast,
with deafening roar, and at times was
heard the distant thunder. It was then
with a most comfortable feeling that L
found myself safely housed at the rendez>
vous of these choice spirits of the mines.
The party to which ] was introduced
were seated at long deal table, in an

PECULIAR FORMATION Almost every
one has observed, on the twigs of a Wild
rose bush, numbers of prickly excrescen-
ces round in form, and rather larger than
pea. If one opens these formations, he
will see what they are In each of the
prickly excrescences there is "a single grub
of the gall-fy, or cynips. The fly att
tacks the rose bush for the purpose of de-
posting its eggs, and its puuctures are
followed up by yarioasly formed excres~
cences containing The larve, which, in
coming out pierces them with small holes.
The real mystery about the matter is,
why the puncture of the fly should cause
the bush to give growth TO those distinct
ly formed balls so nicely constructed,
even to the prickles. for the protection of
the grub. But nature provides every
thing, and all her works are wonderful

made himself acquainted with the circum-
stances mentioned, which were no secret,
and made this bold dash for prize. But
this version of the story was secuted as
