REFERRING to the refusal of Ma
ior Rankin to reveal the names of
parties outside of the State to
whom, he says, he paid money be-
longing to the Agricultural College,
the Des MONIES correspondent of
the Davenport gazette says:
ssThe universal belief is that it
found its way into the pockets of
men in Iowa, and probably in Des
Moines. This belief is strengthen
ed by the fact that the ex-Treasur-
er's ear is constantly beset by men
with whom he had close business
relations during his official career,
from whom he bought large amounts
OF property. The wiseacrcs shake
their heads, and recall the state
ment made in Major Rankin's first
announcement to the General AS
sembly, that he took the money, in
part, because he had been given to
understand, by certain parties, that
they would loan him money. The
inference is plain that they knew
beforehand that there had been a
defalcation, and that their promised
loans were to he made. with the pos
tive knowledge that they would be
used to make the defalcation good.
To those that know something OF
the rings which infest the cap
ital. and the character of the
men composing them; men who re.
card the State and its money as their
legitimate prey, the above inference
will not appear violent. ~.

Ir is significant of the character
of the defense set up for Mr.. Harlan
by some of his newspaper support
ers against the damaging possibil-
tiles involved in the testimony of
Durant before the Credit Mobilier
committee, that its main feature is
a plea that Allison is as deep in the
mirc as Harlan. Without stopping
to argue the truth or falsity of the
charge, we suggest that this style of
s'you are another" justification is
very nearly confession of guilt
We assume that it is yet possible
that Mr.. Harlan may be exonerated
from the charge Of corruption by a
full and prompt explanation of the
use made of the $4,000 received of
Durant in1s66. If he is not able thus
to clean his skirts from suspicion,
the exhibition by his friends of the
assumed or proven pcccadlllos OF
other men will not avail him.

THE SILVER HARP.
by RosALIE n. GRAVES,

There is a harp in each human breast
The strings of which are never at rest
Where music forever breathes and fingers,
Awakened by thousands of vewless fingers,
That play like the hum of fairy wings,
This heayen-born harp is priceless boon,
In its mortal frame, with its strings in tune;
But, whether tunes of this living harp
Are gentle and tender, fiat or sharp,
Where louder dirge depends always
On the ear that hears and the hand that plays,
How touchiigly tender is its moan
As II gives to sorrow its monotone;
When touched by the palsied hand of fear
1t vibrates quick on the startled ear
And Its strong wrought frame in frenzy leaps
While passion Its diapason sweeps.
But happier spirits are lowering near,
And the music they play we love to hear;
They throng each heart with the grave and gray
And many note I've heard them play
SO often too they are playing the same
There is love who comes on his nuttering wing
And how it thrills when he touches the string
Fame thinks he s heard all over the land
As he strikes the chords with master hand;
But to Faith and Hone s the mission given
To touch the notes that are heard in Heaven.
Then linger still when the rest are gone
And left the frai harp broken and lone!
And when Death plays the last sad strain,
Breaking the chords he shall ne'er touch again,
They bear 1t away with joyous wing,
And string it anew where the angels sing.

OUTCAsT,


Was II u dream?
| walked one day down through cty's streets,
The sun was shining dimly overhead,
While filth and venoSs were beneath my feet,
And the houses ON either side seemed red
To the bricks core with wickedness untold;
And there were sights 80 drear and manifold
OF want and suffering, of wretchedncss
In young and DID, of hunger pilesS,
And stenChcs foul the very soul was sick,
And dared not harbor questions, crowdng thick,
or Gods beniicence and of His love.
And there, as through those sadning sights srove,
Fen there, upon u garbage heap, spied
A rosebud, thrown by scornful hands aside
A rosebud that few days before had hung
Upon its parent tree, purcst among
Its sisters sweet and fair. The dew had blessed
Its opening morn its odOrs had caressed
The ambient mir, and kissed the lips of those
who bowed their lips to kiss the budding rose.
And then one said he loved it more than all,
And tore it from its stem (dd see fall
A ran-drop?, and bore 1t ON his breast away.
All how it joyed to lie there through the day,
Bright with fragrant beauty, swcetly asking
Love for its love-sure twas no hard tasking.
But soon, its freshness gone, it knew its fate
Alas! how many learn it late, too late!
And he who wore il merely that 1t shed
Its first sweet orders circng round his head
And with its beauty graccd him as he walked,
Nor loved II for its sake alone, when banked
or these, soon tore it from his breast away,
And, careless of its fate, left 1t the play
And toy of who should care moments space
TO please him with its neeting, fading grace
And 10 twas soon, when fostering and forlorn,
And soiled and torn, of all pure men the scorn;
This bud so fair, so sweet, 80 loved the while,
This withered bud, so faded, bruised, and vile
Was thrown upon the garbage heap, to yield
It's little earth to enrich some Poter's field.
With roverent hand took it from the pile
Il thought the heavens gave me back a SMILEY
With reycrent hand brushed the filth away;
gently pulled apart its petals fair,
And, even then, an odor faint but rare
Breathed from its inner heart and seemed to pray,
And colors bright and pure that heart disclosed
The JOsc-bm crcu pct contained he rose!
And then thought twas waited from my hand,
And bossomcd full and sweet in Heavens own land.
Was 1t a dream?

The Last Days OF Goethe.

His life ended most TRANQUILITY, among
such honors as have fallen to few men,
He lived so long that his fame went to
the ends of the earth, and brought him
universal worship. From all the differ
ent points of the compass idolaters
came TO bow before his shrine and
these not common idolatcrs in intellec-
tual Germany he ruledsupreme, though
he was not II political or patriotic Ger
man, and took but little interest in the
national cause His way to the grave
was as pleasant as gradual, as softly
carpeted with mosscs and flowers, MS
ever beguiled human footsteps onward.
Wemar became famous through the
world by his means. 1t was no longer
known as Il little ducal residence, or the
capital of IL tiny province, but us the
temple in which was adored the greatest
poet of his age. There, surrounded by
his friends and children, he died. His
companions were mostly gene before
him. Duke and duchess and brother
poet had been swept away into the I'M
seen and another generation had taken
their place; but it was a generation
which, from its earliest breath, had been
trained to adore Goethe. He was 81
when the end came. He died an ideal
DEATH with as small an amount of sui
fering as was inevitable, and with no
consciousness of the approaching con-
clusion. The last words he uttered IN
this world were More light words
most touchingly symbolical, though he
meant it not. His life had been excep-
tionally prosperous, calm and without
anxiety. All he had wished for had
fallen into his hands, and long and
mellow evening of repose had followed
upon the bright and busy lingering day
Thus lived and labored and died man
who has, perhaps, been classed at more
widely different estimations than any
other man of his time Ii we cannot
allow. with Carlyle, that he and the
first Napoleon were the two greatest
men of their day, it must at least be
conceded by the least willing that his
influence spread more widely, and we
may say, has lasted longer, than that OF
any other modern member of the great
brotherhood of poets. He did much,
and he suggested much. He set minds
as great as his own going with a touch
of his finger. And he was infinitely
fortunate in catching exactly the right
moment and the right subject to move
the world withal. His fame and his ma
ture were both profoundly national;
and though his patriotism was dull, he
had perhaps more to do than any OF his
contemporaries with the creation OF that
national sentiment without which no
country can ever be great. In every
way, therefore, the effects which he
meant to produce were increased ana
magnifed by effects which he did not
mean to produce-reaections ana in'-
pulses which he threw off almost WIFI
ont knowing. There can be no better
| applause given to human greatness'-

Russian Paper and Printing.

The specimens of paper and printing
exhibited by Russian manufacturers in
the last London international eXhibi-
ton are set down as greatly superior to
anything furnished by other countries,
even the English paper makers acknowl-
edging themselves completely surpassed
both IN the variety aud beauty of the
product. The Russian paper is espec-
tally remarkable in these respects, and
that at the same time is from 10 to 10
per cent. stronger than the paper made
by the English. In what is known as
commercial printing, the Russians are
also far ahead, the style of their work
exceeding anything ever attempted by
the English printers. In chromo-lith-
ography the contributions of st.
Petersburg firm likewise take the lead.
In fact, according to a report published
in the journal of the society of arts, it
appears that in everything relating to
the manufacture of paper and the de-
tails of printing, the English are de-
plorable behind most continental coun-
tres. aud in the art of ornamenting
papers might with profit serve an ap-
premiership with the japanese.

For several months past freight trains of
various railroads from New York to the West
have been filled with barrels, all marked
"sugar." They were directed to principal
confectioners and dealers In candies in Chi
cago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and other
cities. The freight agents Of several of the
companies, suspecting that something was
wrong, recently opened some of the barrels,
and found them packed with confectionery and
choice candies. The freight on plain sugar is
forty-seveh cents hundred while confec-
tionary is charged at the rate of one dollar
and eighteen cents. The railroad companies
have instructed their agents to keep sharp
lookout for sugar freight, and to open every
barrel, if necessary directed to confectioners
in the Western cities. Five confectioners in
this city have received letters from Western
firms requesting them to label pepperment

"On the other hand, I have no SINH

when the humor seized her, she tried in
every manner to persuade him to take
his hands from his girdle, and receive
something from her. She also enter
tanned him charmingly, and frequently

he would nod to his marshal, and'he re-

Then the princess would become inn
patient and would exclaim: My hand

pick it up for me?" Whereupon the
prince would fasten his spur into it and
wave it carlessly, while the princess
would have to bend and remove it from

they entered the garden, said;

Then we will be safe from each others

The princess did not feel very safe
about this arrangement, but he begged
so strongly that she could not refuse
him this small favor. So they went on
alone together, with their hands fasten-

the sun shone warmly, and from the
trees the red cherries hung so low that
they brushed their cheeks as they pass

LOVE is ENOUGH.

Love is Enough, though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have voice but the voice of COM

Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to
discover
The gold-cups and daises fair blooming Hereunder,
Though the hill be held shadows, and the sea a
dark wonder,
And this day draw u veil over deeds passed
overs
Yet their hands shall not trembe, their feet shall
not falter;
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the
lover
