achusetts people. The distance across is
only six miles, aud competent engineers

that !, 1,444 vessels have been wrecked in the

period.

EpMoN1A LEWIS, THE CoLoREp scuLr

EDMoNIA LEWIS THE CoLoRED SCULP-
TIEss, has recently given one of the New
York papers some of the main facts of her
history. She was born at Greenbush, N.
Y, her father being negro and her moth
er Chippewa Indian. They died when
she was quite young, and she was then TAX
en- care of by two Indian aunts in Canada,
whittier the tribe removed. When she was
about Is years of age her brother interest
cd himself in citing her an education, and
she attended school in Albany for some
time, after which she became student in
Oberlin college, o., and studied there four
years. Then she went to Boston to study
music, and while there determined to be-
co me sculptor. She attempted to copy a
model of baby's foot, and failed misera-
bly, in The first trials, but she persevered
and al last succeeded. Then she tried
bust Of Voliaire, but her first success was
a bust OF Cot. Shaw, who fell al Fort Wag-
ner. She received for Ibis sufficient sum
to enable her 10 go 10 Rome, where the ad-
vice of Harriet Hosmer and Hiram Pow
crs materially assisted her. She modelled
there her "Marriase of Hiawatha," and re-
ceived AN order for marble copy while
the group was yet in clay. THE old Ar
rowmaker and his Daughter" which she
model cd next, was purchased by Charlotte
Cushman and presented 10 the Young
NJ ems Christian association in Boston, and
the marquis of Butte gave her $4,000 for a
adonna and Child. Her works have gain
ed several gold medals and diplomas, and
on the whole she has been very successful.
She proposes to make statue for the Phil
adelpba exposition, to be exhibited anon
ymously, so that it may be judged solely
on its merits. She will spend her life in
Italy, though she will pay the United States
an occasional visit.

How slow, how sure, how swift,
The sands within each glass,
The brief, Elusive moments, passl
Half unawares we mark their drift
Till the awakened heart cries out-Alasi
Alas, the fair occasion fed,
The precious chance to action all unwedl
And murmurs in its depths the old refrain
Had we but known betimes what we know In
vain
When the veil from the eye is lifted
The seers head is gray;
when the sailor to shore has drifted
The sirens are far away.
why must the clearer vision,
The wisdom Of Lifes late hour,
Come, as in Fates dersion,
when the hand has lost its power?
Is there rarer being,
Is there fairer sphere
Where the strong are not unseeing,
And the harvests are not sere;
Where, ere the seasons dwindle
They yield their due return;
Where the lamps Of knowledge hndle
While the flames Of youth sti1 burn?
o, for the young mans chances.
o, for the old mans will!
These flee while this advances,
And the strong years cheat us still

And now it appears that the alarm and

lest the Secretary of the Treasury should
let loose the whole forty-four million re-

ONLY ONE UNIFORM.

The success of the democrats in Ohio is
due to the inactivity of the republicans.
the democratic vote falls several
thousand short of what it was last year,
showing loss instead of gain upon the
democratic side. The democrats have
elected it is true their candidate for COVE
or and a majority of the legislature, but
there has been no changing of votes in
their favor, nor any movement or express
ion to indicate that their success is othel
than temporary.
As regards the relative strength Of par
ties the election has but little significance
There have been causes to create the
apathy and indifference manifested by the
republicans, but none to change their prin-
ciples. The State is as firmly republican
as ever.
In another point of view however the
election is of great Importance. 1t fore
shadows very clearly that the opposition
to the republicans in 1876 will be mar
shaled under the old democratic banner.
Henceforth there will be no liberal repub-
lican party acting in conjunction with
the democracy. No divided allegiance
will be recognized at democratic head
quarters. None will be admitted to the
ranks except those who are willing to wear
the uniform and accept the principles of
democracy. There will be be but two
parties in the field. the republican and the
democratic, each under its own flag and
under the direction of its chosen leaders
and peculiar organization. If any who
have acted with the republican desire
to leave the party and cast their vote
against 1t they must join the democratic
organization. All alliances must be on
the basis of fealty to the democratic party.
All roads out of the republican party lead
only there. Liberal republicans must
make their choice between the two old
parties hereafter. There is no middle
ground which they can occupy. They
cannot BIO cheated nor cheat others with a
continuation of last years programme.
Republicans of course have nothing to
propose to their opponents as to the
methods they shall select for marshaling
and using their strength. 1t will be for
them to place candidate for President in
the field representing the principles Of the
republican party, and sustain him to the
best of their ability. Whether the opposi-
ton wears one name or another will make
but little difference to us. We are not de-
pendent for success upon the shape our
antagonists take. 1t is rather for us to see
that we are true to the fundamental ideas
upon which republicanism rests. keep faith
full to the trusts that have been committed
to our hands, judicious in the selection of
representative men, prompt to correct
wrongs and errors of administration that
may arise, wise in the measures we adopt
and propose, and thus we may rally
around our banner the full strength of the
republican party, in the future as in the
past, and continue to guide the destinies
of the nation, whether the opposition be
arrayed under one banner or many.

apple and peach orchards, the variegated fol-
Mse o. the forests, the neat and tasty depots
with their grounds ornamen,ed and adorned
