THE NEW CHURCH ORGAN.
BY WILL CARLETON.

They've got bran new organ, Sue,
For all their russ and search;
They've done just what they SAID they a oo,
Aud fetched it into church,
They're bound the critter shall DE seen,
And on the preachers right
THEY'VE hOisted up their new machlhe,
In everybody's sight
They've got chorister and choir,
Ag'n MY voice aud vote;
For it was never my desire
To praise the Lord toy note.
I've been sister good an true
For five an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear
I've sung the hymns both slow and quick
Juso as the preacher read,
And twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick
took the fork an led
And now, their bold, neE-fangled ways
Is comm all about
And /, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out.
To-day the preacher, good Old dear,
With tears all in his eyes,
Read can read my tltle clear
To mansions in the skies"
[ al'ays like that blessed hymn
l 6'DOSG L q avs VIII
It someh w gr4tiies MY wnlm,
In good old OrtOnyllIe;
Bet when that choir got up to sing,
/ couldn't catch word
They sung the most dog-gondeot thing
A body ever heard !
Some worldly chaps was Standin' near,
An when l seed them grin,
[ bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly wadtd in.
1 thought I'd chase heir tune along,
An tried with al my might,
But though my voice Is good an strong,
couldn't steer IL right
When they was high, Then l was low,
An also contrawis
And [ too fast, or they too slow,
To dimensions in the skies.i'
An after every verse you know,
They played little tune
I dat understand, an SO
I started in too soon
I pitched it pretty middlin' high,
[ fetched luSty tone,
But N, alas | found bat
Was singing there alone
They laughed little, am told
But had done my best
And not wave OF trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
And Sister Brown-I could but look
She sits right front Of me:
She never Wss no slngln' book,
An never meant o be
But then she al'ays tried to do
The best she could, she said
She understood the time right through,
An KEEP it with her head
But when she tried this mUrnin', oh,
/ had to laugh Or cough
It ken her head a-bObOin' so
It cen almost came off!
An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
AS one might we'll suppose
He took one look at Sister Brown,
An Teekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn right thro' and thro'
And laid it on the seat
And then pensiye sigh he drew,
An looked completely beat.
An wren they took another bout,
lie didn't even rise.
But drawed his red bandanner out,
And wiped his weepin' eyes.
I've been a sister, good an true,
For five and thirty year
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear
But death will stop my voice, / know,
For he is on my track
An some day | to church will &c,
An never more come back

The Atlantic Ferry.

There Is something more than daily
ferry between Europe and America. In
fact, the rate Is something like a steamer
for every twelve hours from the port Of
Liverpool alone. During the month Of
May, flfty.three steamships left the Mer.
sey, Of which thirty.four came TO New
York, eight to Boston, eight to Quebec
and Montreal, and three 10 Halifax, Nor.
folk and Baltimore. Seventeen Of these
belong to the Cunard Company, eleven 10
the !nman, five to the National, Eve %
the White Star, ten to the Allan, and SIX
70 the Guion Company, respectively.
When TO these are added the ships OF the
French and the German lines, we get
some idea Of the prodisfous increase Of
late in steam commupica between the
two continents. More than 81, 900 persons
were brought TO America from Liverpool
alone during nay-an increase OF nearly
5000 over the number for May, 1871, and
total increase since January, over the
corresponding period last year, Of $1,000.
These figures are full Of significance with
reference to the future oi the republic
N. z. Tines.

ST.. LOUIS, June 24-The dead lock

the power OF the Governor to divide the

adjourned sine die at 12 NJ, and request
the Governor 10 reconvene the General
Assembly for the purpose of redistricting
the State. The Senate struck the pream.

The House agreed to the amendment and

THE GENEVA.ARBTFRATIoN.

GENEVA, June 24.-All the Commis.
sloners Of the Board Of Arbitration art
still absent except Davis and Cushing, Of
American representation. Nothing has
transpired to break the hopes entertained
for an admirable adjustment OF the differ.
ences between the two countries.
NEW YORK, June 24-It Is believed
that serious questions will arise before the
Geneva Board in reference TO the indirect
claims OF the arbitrators. Mr.. Adams
holds indirect claims which are within the
treaty and that the tribunal should pass
on a question Of their admissiblllty
while Sir Alexander Cocburn maintains
an opposite opinion.
A London special says: The Geneva
Neps denies that there Is anything TO indi.
cate prolonged stay OF the English and
American Commissioners at Geneva. Mr..
Waite OF the counsel for America. has
gone TO Paris, where his wife Is living
~, and Baron d'Itajuba, has left for
Frankfort. The Americans are hopeful
OF the most satisfactory termination Of the
arbitration. Both sides have secured let
tiers and dispatches from their respective
governments since adjournment, last
wednesday. Bancroft Davis received an
important telegram from Secretary Fish
yesterday, which the NepS has reason to
believe is the final reply OF America, The
NelcS, In commenting upon the present
status ot the arbitration says 1t thinks
that Horace Grecley's improving pros.
poets for his election to the Presidency Of
the United States has spurred President
Grant to vigorous efforts to save the
treaty. .a..
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Contrary to
reports from Geneva 1t Is asceI tanned from
an official source that no negotiations are
IN progress for a new supplemental treaty.
such course is considered unnecessary
IN consequence Of the decision ruling out
the tribunal claims for indirect damages.
During a recent conversation with
President Grant he said that everything
which has been done by Secretary Fish in
relation to the Treaty Of Washington was
with his full concurrence, therefore the
responsibility Of the diplomatic action did
not entirely rest upon that officer. ~
GENEVA, June 24.-It is announced that
the tribunal ofarbitration Of the Alabama
claims will hold meeting tomorrow,
instead of Wednesday, the day fixed at
the adjournment OF the court, Count

to-day recalled the absent arbitrators by
the use of the telegraph.
The Tribunal meets tomorrow instead
of Wednesday. The English arc return.

has been made.
Gen. Sherman has arrived here, and

learns by correspondent from Hermi.
tage, Mo-, OF o terrible poisoning case
which occurred ut the town oil Wheatlaud
on Wednesday last. It appears that a
young man named Moore applied to a
country physicisn for prescription for a
case Of ague, objecting to quinine. The
Doctor prescribed some bitters, COM
posed OF Peruvian bark, dog weed and
whisky. Moore took dose and started
for home, which he was barely able to
reach, and shortly. after died. Drs, Red.
field and Barnes, who had been sum-
moned by Moores mother, to quiet her
fears that her son had not been poisoned,
each took Q dose Of the .bitters and soon
after started for home, but proceeded only
u short distance when DR.. Barnes was
taken violently sick, was compelled to
dismount from his horse, and was lust
able 10 drag himself home and died DUR
ing theSnight DR.. Redfeld, feeling pro.
monitory symptoms Of poisoning, spurred
his horse TO ifs utmost speed, and lust
reached his house and fell insensible at
the door. He was carried inside and died
within fifteen minutes. Thematter had
not been investigated when the letter was
written, and therefore 1t Is not known
whether the doctor, who prescribed the
bitters, made the mistake, or whether the
druggist, form whom he purchased the
medicine, committed blunder.
