THE D0MICILE ERECTED
BY JOHN.

Behold the mansion erected by dsedal Jack
See the malt stored in many plethorie
| sack
ln the proud cirque Of Ivans bivouac.
Mark how the rats felonious fangs invade
The golden storos in Johns pavilion laid.
Anon, with velvet foot and Tarquin strides
Subtle Grimalkin to his quarry glides,
| drimalkin grim, that slew the fierce rodent,
Whose tooth insidious Johann's sackcloth
rent,
Lo! now, the deep-mouthei canine foes as
sault,
That vexed the avenger of the stolen malt.
Stored in the hallowed precincts of that hall
That rose complete ut Jacks creative call.
Here stalks the impetuous Cow with crum,
pied horns,
Whereon the exacribatInp hound was torn
Who bayed the felin. slaughter-beast that
slew
The rat predacsous, whose keen fanss ran
through
The textile fabrics that inv olved the grain
That lap in Hans inviolate domain.
Her welLo the rvrivIu ua.naol v.vr..a,.a.
Lactiferous spoils from vaccine dugs who
drew,
Of that corniculate be asst, whose torturous
horn
Tossed to tLe clouds in fierce yindictiye
scorn,
The baying hound, whose braggart blrk
and stir
Arched the 1.-THE spine and reared the in
dignant fur
OF puss, that with vermincidal claw
Smste the wicrd rat in whose insatiats nav
Lay reeking malt, that erst in Juans court
NE saw.
Roted in senceent gerb that seems in sooth
Too long Prey to Coronos' iron tooth,
Behold the man, whose amorous lips in
cline,
Full with young Bros occulativs sign,
TO the lorn maiden. whose lact-albic hands
Drew bulactic fluid from tactical glands
Of that immortal bovine by whose htrn
Distort, to realms ethereal was borne,
The beast cotuldan, vexer Of that sly
Ulysses quadruped who made die,
The old mordaceous rat that dared devour
Antacedaneus ale in JAMS domestic bower.
Lo, here, with hirsute honors dotted succinct
OF Saponaceous locks, the priest who link'd
In IIymen's golden bands the man unthrift
Whose means exiguods stared from many q
rift
Even as he kissed the virgin all forlorn
Who MIXED the cow with implicated horn
Who in fierce wrath the canine tortursr
ykisd.
That dared to vex the incidious muricidc,
Who let auroral sfluencs through the pelt
or that sly rat that robbed the palace Jack
had built.
The loud, cantanker.us Shanghai comes at
last
| Whose shouts aroused the shorn ecclssiast
Who sealed the vows Of Hymen's sacrament
| To him, who robed in garments INDECENT
Exosculates the damsel lachrymose,
The smulgator Of the horned brute morose
That tossed the dog, that worried the cat
that kilt
The rat that ate the malt that lay in thu
house that Jack built.

Railroad Question.

SPRINGFIELD, O., April 7, '73.
10 tho EDITOR Of the Boston Journal Of
Commerce:
DEAR SlR:-There never was sub.
m'tted to any people any problem
affecting its material interests, of
more moment than that one to which
you have so devoted your journal,
namely: the securement of JUS: and
equitable rates Of charge upon, and
regulations of, the vast internal com.

embraces in it not merely the quos
tons OF deliverance from the mast.
cry and corrupting power Of mex.
ampled aggregalions Of organized
moncy-the questions how shall we
escape from tho vast balances against
US IN our money accounts with other
natlons-from the resulting striugon-
cy IN our finances, the advance in
gold-the diminutions of our annual
reductions of public debt-but it
embraces also the growth and pros.
4rlty of whole families Of States, to.
gether with the values and produc.
ing capacity of their lands and the
bread and clothing of the great
mass Of their people. Indeed it is a
question of the right of the people
to live. There is no exaeeration
about this; for, unless relief can
come, and access to the markets of
our country and tho world can be
secured for the mighty productions
OF this Continent, whole populations
OF States must either go wholly out,
~ - ~-,
am certain, is the dignity Of the ques-
tons you discuss, and which now so
move our people. l would never be
understood as holding that all the
Ills to which the productions of this
country are now injuriously subject
ed, are to be found in the injustice
of railroads and other common car.
rlers as these wrongs by railroads
are. Full and adequate relief will
never be found until our people arc
educated up to the appropriations of
the magnitude Of the wants of our in.
ternal and foreign commerce-wants
especially IN the means Of cheap, con.
slant, and adequate transportation,
controlled by our own just and equal
laws. New water lines, from the
heart of the Continent to both

POLITICAL ORNANISET.

Ex-Gov. Wise claims from the
state of Va. $4,000 for his services
as a member of the Maryland
boundary line commission. Not
content with this he files a bill for
expenses amounting to S679.98.-
Messrs. Dejarnett and Watts have
not been heard from as to their
claims. This is pretty snug sum
for the amount of labor performed
by the everlasting II. A. W., who
having hailed originally from "only
mar onancock," chose to commit
political onanism during the
late presidential canvass and now
wishes to be governor of Va. ONLY
one time more.

NIOsby.

Apropos OF office-seeking, a gen
tleman who was in Washington last
week and had talk with Col. John
S. Mosby says that the exGuerilla
Chief is almost worried to death by
persons who are candidates for office,
and want him to recommend them to
the President. His endorsement is
said to be worth as much as any
Senator S; and it is well known that
he is one of the welcome guests at
the White Honse. Col. Mosby was
offered the District-Attorneyship for
the Eastern District of Virklmia, as
well as place in Western State,
but declined both, for fear that his
motives in favoring the reelection
of Grant might be misconstrued.-
He may yet. however, be offered
something that will feel it his duty TO
accept; as to his running for At
torney-General on the Radical ticket,
that is folly. The office does not pay
as much as any country lawyer in
good practice makes With case

VETO OF THE VETO.

Both houses of the Virginia Leg
islature have passed over the veto
of the Governor the bill to allow
the reassessment of lands in those
counties which neglected TO do SC
last year. AT the April term ii
will be the duty of the County
Court at Abingdon to cause a re
assessment of the land in Wash
ington county. There is no doubt
that many of our lands are now
assessed out Of proportion to other
lands in the Commonwealth. We
do certainly know that here in our
townof Goodson some property is
assessed at twice as high a rate as
Others. This bill will enable us to
correct these errors over the en-
tire county.

about the Governorship of Va.
Speculations about the composition
of the Conservative State ticket will
not be silenced by the ipSe dexit of

talk about the matter; nor will wire

Kemper, Baldwin, Staples, Hunter
and Smith are all active and occa-
sionally ether names are canvassed.
There is movement on foot also for
bringing out Gen. Rodney Lee, for
the Governorship, the friends of this
nomination urging the high ground
that nobody but a Lee could be
elected by the Conservative party
under the present circumstances !
Ran Tucker also has some warm sup.
porters. and every now and then
somebody whispers the name of
General Mahcne. The canvass will
be a lively one; and that the pros
poets ofa Conservative victory are
good, the number of candidates
affords proof.

Little Terry, The Miller.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

bAAEs
Beneath the hill you may see the mill
of wasting wood and crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone.
Year after year, early and late,
Alike in s INNER and winter weather,
He pecked the stone and baked the gate,
And mill and miller grew old together.
Little Jerry ~ twas all the same
They loved him well who called him so;
And whether he'd ever another name.
Nobody ever seemed to know.
Twas "Little Jerry, come grind my rye -
And Little Jerry, come grind my wheat
And Little Jerry" was still the cry,
From matron bold and maiden sweet.
Twas Little Jerry" ON every tongue,
And thus the simple truth was told
For Jerry was little when he was young,
And he was little when he was old.
But what in size he CHANGED to lack,
Jerry made up in being strong;
Pve seen a sack upon his back,
AS thick as the miller and quite as long.
Always busy and always merry,
Always doing his very best,
A notable wag was little Jerry,
Who uttered we'll his standing jest.
When will you grind my corn, say p
Nay" quoth Jerry, "you needn't scold;
Just leave your grist for half day,
And never fear but you'll be tolled."
How Jerry lived is known to fame,
But how he died there's none may know I;
One autumn day the rumor came"
e. The brook and Jerry are very low
And then twas whispered mournfully,
The leech bad come and he was dead,
And all the heighbors fiocked to see;
4" Poor little Jerry" was all they said.
They laid him in his earthly bed
His miller's coat his only shroud-
Dust to DUST" the parson said,
And all the people wept aloud.
For he had summed the deadly sin,
And not grain of over toll
Had ever popped into his bin,
To weigh upon his parting soul.
Beneath the hill there stands the mill
Of wasting wood and crumblihg stone;
The wheel is dripping and Gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Feb. %, '73.
EDIroRs SUN-This night Qt is
now near its mid-course) brought
back wildly "reminiscences of the
halcyon days of yore. 1t was truly
suggestive of "auld lang syne." for
the Her" las they familiarly call
the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
in these parts, again douned the
"cothurnus." The down train came
crowded with serenaders from Green's
boro, accompanied by band OF
music. About u O'Clock a large
concourse of people had gathered in
front of Liberty HalP' for the pur.
pose of serenading Mr.. Stephens.
The band discoursed sweet music, and
after playing a few spirited and lively
airs, in response to loud and repeated
calls. the "Great Commoner'' APP
peared and made one of the happiest
speeches your correspondent ever had
the pleasure of hearing. Bonfires
were kindled in various parts of the
spacious yard, and it assuredly pre-
scented a unique and picturesque
scene.
Saout after shout rent the air and
made the welkin ring. as they APP
plauded the "words of sobeTness and
truth uttered by the sage of Liberty
Hall. Mr.. Stephens hits-his
"sales plautinos"-were incompar-
able. Aftet holding the crowd spell
bound for nearly an hour, Mr..
stepens said he would trcsPass no
longer on their time, but in conclusion
would remark he had been charged
with being Bourbon" In regard
to that he had nothing to say at
present, except that if the crowd
would just step inside they would find
as good old Kentucky "Bourbol" as
ever refreshed the inner man, and as
to how they might take it, that was
entirely matter of taste with them;
but as for himself he never took it.
except incidentally, and then he took
it Straight" Acting upon the in
vitation thus extended, the crowd fol-
lowed, filling every nook and Granny
of the hall, passage, porticOes, parlor
and dining-room, where, in response
to toast and most felicitous speech
from Mr.. Thurman, ofthe Greensboro
Herald, Mr. Stephens again full
minated. There was such a jam and
squeeze your correspondent cOuldn' t
get within hearing distance, but old
Liberty Hail. to its center shook,
as yell after yell and shout after shout
went up from the enthusiastic lis
teners. BY dino of exertion we ell
bowed and caromed" our way
through the densely packed crowd,
and it seemed as if in truth and in
fact Mr.. Stephens ''would bring down
the house" as in thrilling and fervld
language he expressed his earnest
hopes of grand triumph-a regenera-
ton and renaissance on jeffersonian
principles in 1876-the centennial
celebration of the American Republic
After partaking of Mr.. Stephens
hospitality, the crowd dispersed, but
again assembled on the main square
where they had brilliant tOrchlight
procession. the houses were illu-
minated and all "went merry as a
marriage bell" We have no apology
to make for these few lines cursory
and disconnected, except that as
Cicero says, "Roscius is. indisposed,"
which means in this case we are
writing under the disturbing infu-
ences thus hurriedly and briefly
sketched.
