On Saturday, Eoey EOentng professed a cheer
ful Willingness to say something in commendH-
tion OF Marshal Dunn's re-appointment, if it
could only imagine" something that might be
said May we suggest, without danger, that no
imagination is here needed-the facts suffice
Why not recall these three Communications oi
the Marshal? First, that he served bravely
four years and seven MONTHS AZ a soldier, de-
Tending the Union, bearing the colOrs, for over
two years. OF the First Regiment of Delaware
Volunteers Second, that he has been prompt'
attentive, courteous and efficient United States
Officer, discharging his duties to the entire sat
isfaction OF the Government and Third, that
his application for re-appointment was one ot
the strongest ever filed in the Depart
ments, at Washington, endorsed by hundreds
of our citizens, and supported by perso-
nal letters from a large number of our most
prominent and most respected business men and
trmsS
These are three facts. No imagination is re-
quired to comprehend them. Justice to Mar
sinai Dunn requires that they be thus distinctly
sat forth. The high endorsement by the oom
nunity in which he lives, and his re-appointmeni
by the Administration are testimonials that he
can afford to completely aud entirely rely upon
with regard to all old political stories, while an.
charges of official misconduct, if responsibly
made, before the proper authorities, We are as
sured he will promptly meet, armed with proc
to show them without sound foundation.

A Lost Child in Danbury.

A family named Cobleigh, living on Nell
son street. lost their little child, girl OF
six years, Monday. The alarm was at
once given, aid a vigorous search was
soon prosecuted. The neighbors for sew
efal streets adjoining either Joined in the
search or assembled at the house OF the af-
fiicted family and graphically recalled cases
where little children were lost and after
a long search Were found stark and stiff IN
death, and thus; consumed time that would
have otherwise passed drearily enough4to
the agoniZed parents. Several people re-
itieiiibered to have seen the little girl IN
severali different directions, and parties fol-
lowed the various directions. . IS ~.
Then there were others who had ideas OF
their own in regard to the whereabouts OF
the missing child, and one of these. a
neighbor named Wakely,, was led by this
instinct to crawl under barn, but in the
transit becalne;so swedgad in that it took
two men andla shovel to get him out
again. A few minutes later his zeal and
discretion led him to go down 'well, and
when part of the way, down he lost his
hold, gave forth whOop like an Indian,
and disappeared beneath the sparkling
waters. He was rescued more dead than
alive, but still burned with sympathy for
the stricken family, and with the water
dripping from his garments, erawledup on
a beam to lookover into a haynlow, and,
owing to the slippery condition OF his
clothes, again lost his balance and came
down on the barn-ioor on his back with a
force that deprived him of his breath.
Alto O'Clock the search was given up
for the night and the parents retired, but
not to- sleep. AT 101 a knock sounded at
the front door, which, being opened, re-
vealed the lost child. She had fallen
asleep ON top Of the hen-house, and, be,
coming uneasy in her dreams, had fallen
off and awakened, and had now come in
for the particulars. No words can express
the delight of the parents at the recovery
of their child nor depict the sensations o.
Mr.. Wakely when he came around the
next morning on pair of borrowed
crlitches, and smelling strong enough ofhn
iment to knock down a chemist, ane
learned the result of the affair. 1t is pleas
ant to learn that not one OF the excited
neighbors had any serious idea that tn,
girl was lost any of the time. DGn6lrs

The Capitol Frescos.

OF the thousands OF. persons who yearly
visit the capitol at Washington, but COM
paisltiyely few stop to examine critically
the ffescos in the corridors. They are SO
wrapped in eternal shadow one needs to
remain considerable time to acctistom the
ewes to the twilight effect. AT first it is
but confused mass of half Illuminated
color, gradually drawing upon the sense
like a rainbow web. look closely in kali
eidoscopic changes, figures begin to form
into portrait, landscape, beast, flower, in
sect and emblematic designs. Movement,
voice given, and the Congressional hall it
self would be outdone in diversity of
speech and motion. Every blossom and
bird known in America is here faithfully
and artistically depicted /; individual panels
tell stories of morning and evening, the
birds bathing at the fountain, the buds
heavy with dew, and nyriads of tniest in
seets studding leaf and bough. There are
but few who know by whom our national
palace was decorated. They pass by, note
the endless variety Of design, the minute
finish of the smallest worm upon the leaf,
recognizing with delight familiar land
scape, well-known portrait, stand amazed
before the tender grace of goddess and
cherubs, never once asking who were the
artists, or if asking, fail to elicit any salts

young Germans. Seven long years they
worked with straining eyes, burning in
upon those walls their wonderful impres
sions, until the declining health of one ant
| falling eyesight of the other forced them tc
rest from their labors. One hes in his pre-
mature grave, the other, stone blind

POETRY.
THE OLD CANOE

-ft#r.as 4 ~
Where the rocks are gray and the shore is steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep.
Where the rugged pine in its lonely pride,
Leans gloosHily over the murky tide;
Where tne reeds and rushes are long and rank,
And An the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
through,
There lies ut its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped.
Like sea- bird wings that the storm has Topped,
And clossed on the railing, one per one,
Like the folded hands when the work is dona
While busIly back and forth between
The spider stretches his silver screen, f.f.s
And the solemn owl, with his dull "too-ho0s1 -
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
anu tne green moss creeIs o9er its duh decay,
Hldlng rs moldering dust away, .sI -
Like eue hand that plants o'ef the tomb flower,
Or the IVY that manties the falling tower;
While many blossom of loveliest hue
springs up Ger the stern of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light winds play with the boat at will,
Ana Iazlly Ia and out again
II hoa.s the length of the rusty chain,
Like tne weary march of the hands OF time,
ihas meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew,
by The dripping bow of the old canoe
oh, many time, with careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly strand,
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are
thick,
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking sida
And looked below in the broken tide,
10 see that the faces and boaJs were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe4
But now, as lean o'er the crnmbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that see there is giaver grown,
And the laugh that hear has "a sober tone,
And the hands that lent TO the light skiff wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things
But love to think of the hours that sped
As rocked where the whirls their white spray
shed, t0li =
Ere the blossom waved, or the green grass grew,
0'er the moIdering stern of the old canoe. i

saw old Nelson Iabout ten yards off. He
told Nelson to Hold out, that the boat was
coming. The barber was within six feet
of him, and he and that artist managed to
keep lumber enough to float them until
he got hold of Two Efe-preservers, which
had been thrown after them by
the second cook, He could not swim, and
tried to get preserver to Nelson but
failed. They had then been in the water
about f0rty-five minutes, and Mr.. Nelson's
strength had given out. He shouted,
g Come herel come here! 70 Solomonsky
told him to hang ON, but he said that he
could not, and vas drowning. This fright
ened Solomonsky so much that he let go
of everything and went down. When he
came to the surface he got hold of a mat
tress, and looked round for Mr.. Nelson,
but he had already sunk and disappeared.
The barber had got his lumber together
and was standing on the pile, and Mr.. Sol
omonsly tried to do the same thing, but
failed, and sank again. Finally, after many
mishaps, the humber became entangled in
a tree, about twenty yards from the east
shore, where he was rescued by Miss Cohn.
Mr.. SoIomonsky states that, although he
and his cousin ~ ere in the water over an
hour, nothing was done by those on the
Wolff to save tlfm. On reaching the YES
sci, which wasf fabout 500 yards above, he
ascertained thai the reason no boat had
been sent to their aid was confusion on
board. The officers thought that the boat
was on fire, and a perfect panic prevailed.
Two men tried to launch boat to take the
passengers ashore, and Mr.. Ellis, of Mem
phis, prepared to jump overheard If they
failed, as did also Mrs. Frisbie and her
daughter and Miss Tyler. He thinks if
any one had had presence of mind enough
to launch one Of the boats, that Mr., Mel
son could have been saved.
In regard to- the explosion, Mr.. Solo
stated that it was reported that
the second engineer had been on duty for
forty Eight hours, owing to the first engi-
neer being i'll,
