LINES TO A SKELETON

Fifty years ago the London Bsrnin0 Chronicl
published poem entitled as above, which eA
cited much attention. Every effort, even to tn
offering of reward of fifty guineas, was vainf
made to discover the author. All that eve
transpired was, that the poem, in a fair, clerkl
hand, was found near skeleton of remarkabl
beauty of form and color, in the museum Of th
Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn, Lon
don, and that the curator of the museum ha

This space was thought s mysterious seat;
What beauteous visions filed this spot!
What dreams Of pleasure long forgot!
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor rear,
Have left one trace OF record nere'

Once shown the bright and busy eyes
But start not at the dismal void,

Ifwith no lawless Arc it CLEANED,
But through the dew of kindness beamed,-
That eye shall be forever bright,
When sun and stars are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The rea,iy, swift. and tuneful tongue.
IL falsehood's honey is disdaiued,
And when 1t could not praise, was chaaneds
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
gentle concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee,
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did those fingers delve the miner
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hue the rock wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But If the page of truth they sought.

TO seek affiction's humble she'd;
OF grandeur's guilty bribe they spurnetl,
And home TO viItue's cot returned:
4 bcse feet with Angels wings shall vie.
And tread the patr'= the sky.

In these balloon days we are reminded
of an extraordinary ascension made
during the war I'm Northern Ohio. The
aeronaut had gone up frequently; was
accounted courageous and sagacious IN
his business, aud had so amiable and
sterling qualities as to render him high
IL esteemed. lie seems to have been
blessed, Or cursed, with a very pretty
wife. to whom he was devotetlly attached.
As frequently happens, she did not love
him in return-at least not enough to
insure her loyalty. She permitted her
ardent affections to wander, and those
who knew, informed him of their we'll
grounded suspicious. Too generous to
believe, too chivalrous to doubt, he con-.
tinned to repose the fullest faith in bis
consort, until at last the dreadful con-
viction WAS forced upon him. Even
then he gave no intimation that he had
discovered her guilty secret, though
some OF his friends were confident he
had. He advertised another balloon
voyage, and, at the time named, all was
prepared. His wife was in the .enclos-'
ure. and just before he stepped into the.
car, he went to her side, kissed her ten
derly, saying that he hoped Heaven
would make her happy; that he loved
her SO much that lie would not for a mo-
ment stand between her and peace. His
words had such significance that the
blood started to her face aud tears to her
eyes. Ere she could collect herself he
was in the basket, the ropes were cut,
and he was shooting through the air. 8, g.
Days, weeks, months passed, aud the
popular aeronant was not heard from,
nor were there any tidings Of the ball

More Trouble i'm Arka nsas.

LITTLE Rock, June 2.-In the Supreme
Court to-day the Attorney General filed an ap-
plication for writ of quo warranto, against
Gov Baxter, to show by what authority he
holds the Office of Governor. The application
sets forth that the Governor has unlawfully
usurped the Office. Although Gov. Baxter re-
f sss to the s1 81 tine that
will obey no mandate issued by it on such an
application, and has refused to employ counsel
to conduct the case, Judges English and Camp
ton, both eminent attornies, appeared in court
and opposed the fliog of the application. The
argument on this point has been going on all
the evening and will be continued to morrow.
The filing of this application by the Attorney
General has renewed theexcitement of few
days ago, vixen it was rumored such action was
to be taken. Should the writ be granted it is
thought conflict will ensu.. The Governor
holds that the Legislature adjudicated the mat
ter and that was the only power that could do so.
The militia are being reorganized by Governor
Baxter.

echoed with cheers and yells. The mounted
command was that of Perry. He had returned

AT halt past 10 O'Clock t IS morning the
Warm Spring scouts struck trail, and after a
brief search the Modocs were discovered Col
Perry surrounded the Indian retreat His men

out from the rocks with white flag. He met a
Warm Spring and said Capt. Jack wanted to
surrender: Three scouts were sent to meet
Capt. Jack. He came out cautiously, glanced
about him a moment, and then, as giving up
all hopes. came forward and held out his hand
to his visitors. Then two of his warriors, five
squaws and seven children darted for'h and
joined him in the surrender. The command

ST. PETER.-The first orchestral rehearsal of
st, Peter took place at City Hall last evening,
under the direction of Mr.. Paine. and was a
most marked and triumphant success. About
twelve of the orchestra were present. The
complete harmony of the orchestra and the
chorus was remarkable, taking into considera-
ton the fact that it was their first rehearsal.
Many of the most difficult of the choruses
were rendered with power skill and spirit
that was very pleasant to Mr.. Paine. Among
the spectators we noticed Mr.. Henry S. Ed
wards, go long organist at High street church,
who has come on from Natick to be present at
the production OF the oratorio. Mr.. Osgood
arrived last evening, and Miss Phillips and Mr.
Rudolphsen will arrive this morning. Large
numbers Of musical people are expected from
New York, Boston and other places. A final
rehearsal takes place at City Hall this after
noon. The seats are nearly all sold, and those
who are DESTROYS (anG who of us are not?) to
hear this magnificent production of Mr..
Paine's genius, must secure their seats at ence.
1t is evident that this greatest musical event in
the history of Portland will fill City Hall with
the largest aud most select audience ever as
sembled within its walls.

MUSICAL RAcE.-The grandfather Of the
present John X. Paine, the distinguished au-
thor of ''St. Peter" was also named John K,
and was born in Standsh, Me-, and lived there
for about forty years. His musical talents had
obtained at that time wide celebrity, and he
was visited by delegation of Portland citizens
who induced him to remove to this city. Soon
after taking up his residence here he entered
into the manufacture of organs, and organized
the Portland Band, which has continued in ex-
istence to this day. Several of the sons of John
K. Senior were members of this band, one of
whom Jacob S., was the father of the compos-
er of the Oratorio ''St Peter" The John X.
Senior was musical celebrity in every sense of
the word. In fact, in early life his penchant
for the organ and musical organizations had so
strong hold on the unknown and untaught
young man that he, living in the dense woods
of Standsh. two miles from any other resi-
dence, conceived the idea of building an organ
for his own qualification. An attempt at any
thing in the musical line was with him a sure
forerunner of success. He at oEce made ar
rangemepts to be absent week, which time
he spent in this city tPortland), in exploring
the interior of the organ in the old st. Paus
cnurcu. AL the conclusion OIL tnat time he re-
turned to his home in Standish aud commence
ed on bis house, alone, with the simple aid of a
saw and jack-knife, the manufacture of an Or
gan with two stops. The organ rose in proper
tons as week after week passed by, reaching to
the wall, and still not completed. The timbers
of the house were obliged to be cut down and
the organ was at last completed, and Paine
then reaped the reward of his labors. 1t is but
a year or two since that we, in company with
the composer of this oratorio, stood with I'M
covered head within this ancient building and
gazed with reverence on these living memen-
toes of this mans inventive genius and perse-
verence. Thus has the musical mantle truly
been transmitted through two generations and
has fallen with superior grace upon the Shout
ders of one who nobly sustains the high talent
and rare genius of his worthy grandfather.
''The first Paine organ" was soon purchased by
the old church in Limington, and remained in
good service for forty years without any i'm
provements being made, and is still in existence
there at this day.
