What holds thy dreamy eyes in thrall3
A somber picture on the wall -
A somber picture, weird and cold,
That dims the dayhght's morning gold.
A grass-grown rampant lifting high
Its reedy fringe against the sky;
Half lost in its oershadowing gloom
The semblance of a mouldering tomb
Upon the tablet, side by side,
In pomp of old heraldic pride,
Two sculptured figures lying stark
And dumb within Il sIininering dark
raven on tho mOulderlng tomb,
An owlet fitting through the gloom,
cold, white, wandering moon, that seems
The ghost of long forgotten dreams;
In the high rampant an old door,
Where night winds enter; nothing more.
Why doth II hold thine eyes in thra1,
This sombre picture the wall,
That dims the daylight's glad return,
Is there within thy heart a grave
Der which the winds of memory rave,
Where sepulchred in marble prize,
Thy dead hopes slumber SIDE by side,
Lost to the futures dawning light,
And shrined in immemorial night?
Ali never hope of thine shall sleep
Within oblivion's donjon keep.
Thy dreams were born to soar afar
Beyond the mornings purple star;
Thy loyal heart shall re-creaet
From loss and wrong, loftier fate;
Thy own deep heart of love illume
Thy Iife-w with loves immortal bloom,
On thy white brow absolved from blame,
A shining one, with a new name,
Shall flood the dark with living flame;
Thy life, perfume and prayer,
With mystic fragrance fill the air,
And all thy buried hopes shall rise
Transfgured into destinies.

TIE REPUBLICAN Al
NOMIN ALTON. w

In the hurly-burly of the Senatorial
struggle the question of who shall be
nominated for Congress upon the Repub-
iican ticket has escaped the more special
attention of the party; and yet, this is
one of the most important matters with
which we have to deal; and the conven-
ton cannot be too careful in selecting the
nominee for that position. There are
many incidental things which go to make
up a strong candidacy; and amongst
these are geography and avocation as
well as personal fitness. political sound
ness and individual popularity. The
name of Hon. c. c. Goodwin of Eureka,
Lander county, has been mentioned in
connection with this nomination, and We
can call to mind no member of our party
who comes nearer filling the requirements
re cited above Mr.. Goodwin is a citizen
Of the eastern part OF the State, whence,
0y custom and common consent, our
Congressman have always been selected.
lie is an accomplished gentleman both in
the low and in the higher branches of
literature: he is deeply interested in min
ing; he is man of irreproachable charac-
ger and habits; he is one of the soundest
Republicans living, and he enjoys an en-
liable degree of personal popularity.
If he will consent to take the nomination
We see no good reason why he should
not have it awarded him by reclamation.

WHY A NATIVE BORN IsnMAE-
ACE GREELEY.


First, because of his natural propensity
to get the political mulligrubs if he fails
while running Republican hebdomadal
in Illinois to induce the President to give
him small sized Postofice; and second
", because it is natural for all turncoats
to flock around the same trough wherein
is served up the daily nations of stewed
pumpkins and butttermilk; and, thirdly,
because Grant always did make it hot for
all bounty Jumpers, and never trusted
those boiling and halfway hangers-on
who followed the Union army SO long as
they could make money by swindling the
soldiers, and who deserted to the enemy
when they thought they could make any
money by doing 50; and, fourthly. be-
cause it is impossible for weak kneed,
tremulous trimmer who wants to earn
Democratic approval by abusing Grant
and Wilson and is afraid of offending his
Republican patrons if he makes manly
showing of his principles, to carry water
on both shoulders-as Greeley does, and
as Brown might if his load wasn't SO
much diluted with strychnine whisky.

The Success Of the Movement
i'm this Vicinity.

The movement ofshuting down wells ia
this vicinity has been far more general than
any one al first expected, more general 10
fact than many dared hope. All OF the pro.
prietors of wells 10 this section could not be
informed ofythe movement 10 time 10 shut
down their wells on Saturday even
log, but only fourteen wells commenced
pumping on Sunday morning in Triumph.
Monday morning two more wells shut down
and Monday night several more. Some pro.
ducsrs are only pumping to save their wells
from being ruined, and the oil is 10 be des-
troyed.
Triumph looked like on abandoned dis
triet on Monday. The noise which has
been heard without cessation for many years
was hushed. The smoke which was hung
over 1t SO long has cleared away and the
Trinmphians no longer look as through o
'smoked glass darkly.S Only here and
there was we'll at work No Sunday
could be compared with It, for never before
bad Triumph seen such Sunday. The
men were lying about the houses and wells.
looking as if they were out Of place and
hardly kuew what to do with themselves
amidst SO much quietness. 1t was strange
sight in place which few days before
was filled with the noise aud clangor of so
mauy wells.
This quietness extended to New London.
Here we did not see a well at work. Some
were taking advantage of the cessation to
put iu new boilers, fxover their wells and
make preparations Tor winter. On the Hens
son and Jason tracts ell OF the men were
busy fixing their wells. laying down steam
and water pipes, and digging wells for fresh
water, but not single we'll was pumping.
10 fact the movement may be called gen.
eral.
We talked with several operators and
they seaned to think the movement would
help them greatly, and all we're In favor Of
it, Some Of them, small producers, would
have been forced to shut down any way, i'll
things had kept on as they were, but by
Ibis movement they will be able to stand
heir ground with the large producers.
