NObody,s Darling.

No scornful toss Oft qnoonly head,
But dropping bond Of tho neck instead
No ringing laugh, aud no dancing feet,
Noaublle Wiles, and abandon sweet,
Jewels costly, no garments fine
She Is NObody's Darllng-but minol
No Dolly Warden coquettish airs;
No Nohlgh-hcolod boots to throw her down stairs;
No yachting Jacket and nautical style,
With a sliior's hat that she calls hor "tiie.'
But "Lady' Is stamped on her que, brow;
And sic cropt In my heart can't tell how;
Not made to lazzl0-not born to shine
Nobody's-Nobody's Darling-but minel
No saucy, rayshing, siFsh grace,
Buta settled calm on tho sweet pale face;
No sparkling chatter and rcpartOc;
Worry silent and still is she,
White aud still is my pearl Of pearls,
YOt to mo she seometh the queen Of girls;
Why love her can't dOanu,
For shO's nobodys-N -NobOdy's Darling but
minOl
We're riches hers, or beauty rare,
She would lose her charm aud become less fair
Wore rings to shine on those fingers small
They could not add to their grace at all
She would learn to smile and speak by rule,
In tho foolish book Of Dame Fashions school ;
And tho world to spoil her would soon combine !

The Feeling at Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says: The State department
received day its irst despatch from Minis
ter Schenck concerning the last sensation
growing out of the treaty of Washington.
General Schenck merely states that the Brit
ish foreign office has represented to him the
excited and sensitive state of fee ling which
now prevails in English political circles con-
corning the American demands before the
Geneva tribunal, and transmits the informa-
ton to the State department for its action.
Inc subject was informally considered in
cabinet meeting to-day, but no reply to Mr..
Schenck's despatch was agreed upon nor has
| any been sent. The feeling, however, in
official circles here is unchanged, except 30
TAR as the intention to adhere to our oriainal
demands, constructed damages included, 10
! strengthened and established Whatever
the division of opinion upon the propriety Of
including the constructive damages in the
American case, there is no difference respect
ing the wisdom of keeping them there and of
abiding by the award at Geneva. This is
known to be the position of the President and
OF every member Of his Cabinet. The entire
want offoundaton for the, recent alarm re-
speeding our relations with England is daily
more apparent, and the action of Congress
to-day shows how little faith is placed in
sensational rumors by men who from neces-
lty must be the best informed. When Sepa-
tor Edmund's resolution, calling upon the
President for any information in his posses.
sion upon this subject, was under ito brief
discussion in the Senate, Mr.. Cameron,
chairman of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. stated that he could not ina zine that
the President had any information which il
was important for the Senator to know, and
Senator Trumbull urged very strongly that
there was no necessity for any such action
as the resolution contemplated. The House
committee on foreign affairs had q long ses.
sion this morning in which no discussion
whatever occurred respecting our relations
with England, and the situation at the capital
seems one Of entire quiet. The chief topic
Of conversation is upon the matter of con-
structive damages and the wisdom of present.
ing them as a part Of the Alabama cases.
Many of the more moderate republicans ad.
init that it was injudicious to include these
claims 1.-THE American case, particularly a.
the whole course Of discussion in joint high
commission indicated that there presentation
was hopeless, while the more radical gentle
men of the Butler school proclaim that it was
both just and proper to present the contingent
damages, and thus having been presented
they must be vigorously pressed.

1t is known that though the British commits
sioners had full powers they frequently con-
suited the home government and acted in &C.
cordance with its wishes in all they did 1t
is officially asserted that if the claim for con.
sequential damages had not been presented
and was not to oe passed upon, there nigh,
be complaint by the people of tho United
States that provision had been made for a
partial settlement only of the differences be
tween the two countries. Such claim was
therefore presented for full settlement in
the interests ofpeace and preclude future dis
putes. This government has not yet receiv-
ed the text of the letter from Lord Granville
to General Schcnck, and therefore cannot
take Official action upon it. There is no
probability whatever that our government
viii Withdraw any part of its statement of the
case, but will leave the British government
to pun sue its own course, or the arbitrators to
act in the premises according to the treaty
stipulations. Nor is it likely that our coun-
sci will take any action in order to accommo-
date the British government. There is no
truth in the recent publications that there has
been an arrangement between Secretary
Fish and General Sickles. The best of feel
ing exists between them.

to st Louis on the Rockford. Rock Island S
St. Louis Railroad, due at Alton Junction at
SIX O'Clock this morning, when about three
quarters OF mile below upper Alton station
came in collision with freight train going
north. TIE baggage car and first coach were
telescoped, and then almost instantly took
fire. The scene that ensued was most APP
paling. The unfortunate passengers were
mostly caught between the car seats, and
egress from the cars was nearly mpos-
sible. The flames developed the cars almost
instantly. and the terrified passengers were
left to be slowly roasted alive. Up to IL A.

victims had been recovered, and were lying
in the snow awaiting the coroner's inquest.
The names of the killed as far as known are

The wounded are Il. Rams, head and body
badly burned, and seven others seriously in
