SALISBURY CONN., FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER g, 1872.
Measuring the Baby.
We measured the riotous baby

We measured the riotous baby
 Against the cottage wall A lily grew up at the threshold,
 And the baby was just as tall A royaltiger lily,
 With spots of purple and geld, And heart like jeweled chalice
 The fragrant dew to hold. Without, the blue-bird whistIed
 High up in the old roof-trees, And to and fro at the window
 The red rose rocked her bees; And the wee, pink fists of the baby We're never a moment still, Snatehing at shine and shadow That danced on the lattice-silI. His eyes were as wide as blue bells His mouth like flower unblown- Two little bare feet like funny wkite mice Pesped out from his snowy gown; And we thought, with 8 thrill of rapture That yet had touch of pain, When June rolls round with her roses, We'll measure the boy again. An mol In darkened chamber,
 With the sunshine shut away, Through tears that fell like bitter rain, We measured the boy to-day, And the little bare feet that were dimpled And sweet as budding rose. Lay side by side together,
 in the hush of long repose. Upon the dainty pillow,
 White as the risen dawn, Tho fair little face lay smiling,
 With the light of Heaven thereon And the dear little hand like rose leaves Dropped from rose lay still, Never to snatch at the sunshine That crept to the shrouded sill. We measured the sleeping baby,
 With ribbons white as snow, For the shining rosewood casket That waited him below; And out of the darkened chamber
 We went with childsss moan To the light of the sinless angels
 Our little one had grown!

GERMAN EMIGRATION TO AMER1CA.- Information has been received by the Department of State, at Washington, to the effect that the statement in July last, that the German government was seek ing to prevent emigration to the United States, and has adopted stringent meas ures for that purpose, is denied by that government, which d1sclaims having issued orders interfering with or forbid ing the emigration of its citizens to this country.

As the above specifies church accom- modation, but not the number of the membership, hardly an approximate es' innate of the numerical strength of the denominations can be made. Many et the Protestant churches have not half members enough to fill their houses of worship but perhaps it might be. as- sumed that the people nominally adher- ing to each denomination would fill the churches if called together. On the other hand, all who arc of the Catholic fa1th are members of the church and 1t IS probable that their membership, which includes their entire population, would more than fill their churches. ......

looRREsPO NDENCE OF THE SPY
Boston, June 13, 1872.

BosToN, June 10, 1872.
Avery pleasant place to stop at as you walk
along Washington street is Loring's. In the
windows is great pSofusion Of pictures of
celebrities in every walk and rank of life. There
you can get much nearer royalty than at Berlin
or Chisehurst. The Kaiser William with his
bold, defiant, noble face, reminds the German of
his fatherland. Freuchmen can "sacre" as they
gaze at the full and crafty face and rather large
and imposing form of the ex-emperor, who rot
them into such a terrible scrape at Sedan.
1t is undenably true that Napoleon, as | once
saw it stated, and his photographs seem to prove
it conclusively, looks much better since he has
been free from the responsibility of ruling
Horace Greeley looks out blandly from under a
broad trimmed hat, and seems pleased with his
position in the midst of several ballet girls,
whose pictures, with odd effect, completely sur
round him. Eminent divines, well known ac-
tors, famous men and beautiful women, are all
assembled together in an extremely curious
grouping.
The arrival of the first body of foreign musi-
clans, the French band, the latter part of last
week, was the signal for genuine outburst of
enthusiasm, as they passed through the crowded
streets Gilmore's band played the Marselase,
and the inspiring strains of this martial air, the
enthusiastic faces of the Frenchmen, as, with
unaffected delight and exceeding gracefulness,
they acknowledged the rounds of cheers with
which they were frequently greeted, created at
times furore of excitement
Among the most important events connected
with the great musical festival will be the grand
ball, coming at the end of it, at which thousands
will dance to the enticng and bewitchinr
strains of Strauss waltzes, with Strauss himself
as the conductor of the orchestra. What nice
time there will be finding partners! and what a
mad and tremendous big whirl the floor of the
coliseum will present. and then suppose they
all sing, awe won't 60 home till morningl"
The tickets, which are only five dollars, admit a
gentleman and lady. The decorations will be
superb, the single item Of flowers costing over
$4,000.

Madame Janauschek is doing very heavy
tragedy at the Globe, drawing large houses IN

The great sensation just now, however, is the
Voses at the Boston theatre. They have car
ried audience and critics too, by storm, so that

Professor MacWhorter's argument in favor OF
the Ph@nican origin of the Cardiff giant, TO
which we referred some time ago, will appear in
the July Galaxy. Mr.. MacWhorter has satisfied
himself that the figure is a genuine Phenician
work Of the highest scientific and antiquarian
interest," and his argument appears to some per-
SONS who have read it extremely iorcible. He
gives with its translation, fac sime Of Phos-
Dician inscription found on the statue, which
less observing or less intelligent eyes than his
failed TO detect. MIR. MacW horter might be
useful as a witness in some Of those suits which
have been or may be begun to settle the peeuni-
ary questions growing out of the discovery and
disposition of the giant, and he could perhaps
do good service to the enterprising but unappre-
ciated New Ham pshire discoverer, who has got
into serious trouble through the misfortune o.
having found a similar stone person, probably
a near relative of Cardiff, on his farm in tha
state. The learned professor could probably
convince the unbelieving New Hampshire courts
that the Medbury giants age is not less by
more than two or three years than that Of his
more famous Phenican relative.

The New Hampshire sannrorship.


The New Hampshire republicans have sur
prised everybody, by the selection of eandi-
date for the United States senatorship. Balm
bridge Wadeigh, the gentleman nominated,
had not been mentioned in connection with the
Office. and the result of the caucus appears 10
have been as unexpected to him as to others. A
dozen gentlemen had been named as candidates
for fhe nomination, bat he was not one of
them. The competition was chiefly between
Senator Patterson and Hon. E. H. Rollins.
Senator Patterson is one Of the most irreproach-
able and trustworthy men in congress; and he
is a man of marked ability who has done ad-
mirable service in the senate Before being
elected to the senate, he served several years in
the house: and previous TO his first election to
the house, he was one of the professors in Dart
mouth College, Mr.. Rollins is a good man and
an excellent republican, who has done the par
ty much service; but he is not Mr. Patterson S
equal either in culture or ability AT present,
he is treasurer of the Union Pacific railroad
company.
The nomination of Mr.. Wadleish, while it
defeats both Patterson and Rollins, appears TO
be very acceptable in New Hampshire. He is
described as a man Of unusual ability aud an
answering republican, who has the respect and
esteem of all who know him. This case furnish
es another Illustration of the fact, that the best
men are not invariably those who are most
talked about Mr. Wadleigh is known as one
of the best lawyers in The state, and as 4 man of
popular manners, whom everybody likes"
He has been member Of the legislature eight
years continuously, without attempting to make
noise in the political world, and without de-
veloping ambition to grasp something higher.
Whether he will find life al Washington as sat
isfaciory as the life to which his aims have
hitherto been confined, is not certain. The
election will take place next Tuesday.
Since the famous mass meeting at Cincinnati,
there has been no little inquiry doubt, and specu,
lation relative TO Carl Schurz and his relation TO
Horace Greeley. Ii was known, that before
the Cincinnati nominations were made, Schurz
had said 10 his Missouri friends that Greeley
was totally unfit for the presidency; and that,
after the nominations, bis great sorrow was
walled forth in music. Would he nevertheless,
support Greeley? No one could tell. He was
silent He would neither 90 nor send letter TO
the New York ratification meeting. Evil
IDENTIFY, he was studying the question.
We notice that he has finally made dem
onstration. A call for meeting of anti Gree
ley '1iberals," for consultation, has appeared,
with the name of Carl Schurz standing first
among the signers. This means, of course, that
he can not support Greeley; and he may have
been assisted in reaching this conclusion, by
the fact, that the nomination of Greeley is de-.
nounced, almost universally, by the Germans.
Should he 90 into the Greeley ranks, he would
90 almost alone, so far as the Germans are con-
cerned. Therefore, he unites with other boiling
'liberals" to devise a new departure.
