BY WILLIAM SAWYER,
Home sgdnl Spared the peril, ofytars.
SHARED u rough seas and rOughar lands;
And / losk In your eyes ouct, onse again,
Hear your voices and grasp your hands.
Not changed lhc least, least bit in the world
Not aged day as II seems 10 me-
Thu same dear faces, the SAME dear home,
An the same MS II used be.
Ali ho.els the garden here the lines
Still In their sunset green and gold
And the level lawn, with the pattern int
Where tho grass has been newly moved.
And hero come the rabbits, Jumping along
AM that's never the same white doe,
with tho pinky lops and the munching m0uth
Yet It's like her as fnow TO snow.
And here's Nep in his old heradic style,
Erect, chain-tis htcnng all he can;
With Tppsy Naggng that inch OF tall
What you know ME again, old mani
The pond where the lille. float snd Lloem,
Tho goldfish in it Just tho same,
eco fat to stir IN the cool yes, one
Shoots and CLEANS Gnd goes out like iamo.
And still in nc meadow, dsisy.UhitO,
Its whitlinS night the arrow wings;
Aud the fallen targets central gold"
Gliitcrg. planet With its rings.
And yondcr q tho tree with its giants face,
Sharp nose aud chin against tho blue
And the wide elm hrNnchd, meeting, bear
Our iamOus swing between the Two.
No change! Nay it only seems last night
Glurcd back your fond good-bycs,
AL heard The rain drip from Tho caves,
And felt its moisture in my eyes;
Only last night that You throngcd the porch,
Each ch9k ing words We could not say
And dear little Jim'S white face peeped ont,
Diuliy soen whsle stole away.
Poor little jim In this happy hour
lila wee white face cur hea' Is recall,
And nlias n hand aud u voice, and $50

So all lifca lunShine Is lecked with shade
So all delight is touched with pain;
So t.ars Of sorrow and tears Otjoy
Welcome the wandsrer hume again

Rus,ress PROSPECTS for the Fall.

The New York Express believes that
business this fall will be considerably i'm
proved. ut is easy,"it says, !" to d.
vine, from the 'eivings-out' of the retail
dry goods men and others, that their an
ticipations Of a brisk fall trade are sanguine,
and we think perhaps they justly calculate
that the ensuing season will more than
make up for the comparative dullness
which characterized the somewhat
backward season Eow passing away.
OF course, in the womb of possibility lie
many things which meier may actual be-
and we well remember how the proba-
bilities of roaring trade' at the COM
mencement of April last failed by tamper-
ing with the banks and business discounts.
But so, now, dry goods dealers and others
look forward to prosperous fall trade,
and a sanguine feeling prevails even among
the most sagacious dealers. We trust il
will SO turn out in all respects, and with
every kind of legitimate business. Up to
this time there is a marked caution both
in direct imports and in withdrawing
goods from warehouses but goods
in bond are easily accessible, and, with
telegraphs round the world, easily ordered
and shipped. Moreover, a dull summer
and spring have so reduced purchases as to
make a better business now not only
probable, but the opposite quite improba.
BILE. We trust that both the banks and
capitalists will see to it that the spare
money is used rather to help business thar

The warrenton Tragedy-Unl,appy
Ending of ~ ssSpree''-IIOw a Young
Man Shot Himself.
WARRENToN, August 26.-The facts
concerning the shooting of Alfred Martin,
are as follows:
Young McBlair and Martin were return
ing from the railroad station on McBlair's s
wagon late Wednesday night they had
proceeded about mile when McBlair en-
deayored to fire his revolver, which had be-
come wet by the rain. lie snapped all
five barrels without discharging any of
them,. and then placing the pis-
tol at his own head again snapped it
twice without effect. Martin, seeing this,
swore that he would do the same, and
taking the pistol from McBlair he pointed
it at his own head, the horses starting at
the moment the pistol went off, the ball
going directly through his brain, killing
him instantly. McBlair was Mortified, and
called out instantly "Alfred are you hurl?''
but obtained no answer. He proceeded im-
mediately to obtain assistance, placing the
dead body of his friend in his wagon,
drove to Martin house, where he remained
until the inquest. This is his statement,
sworn to before the Judge of the circuit
court at Warrenton. It is but proper to
say that the man who stated he heard
angry words and then shot is McBlairs s
bitter enemy, with whom he had quarrel,
resulting in his being beaten last election
day. 1t can be proved he never mentioned
the fact of his overhearing the conversation
until two days had elapsed, nor did he pro-
coed to The spot where, as he states, he
overheard angry words and shot. Nc
Blair is to have new examination or
Wednesday next.

Heavy storm.

{ HALIFAX, August 2G. "A severe storm
passed over this city Saturday night and
Sunday morning, doing considerable dam
age. The gale was the heaviest experien-
ced in many years. Most of the shipping
in the port was prepared for the gale and
rode it out. Several small yachts were
smashed at anchor. The United States
frigate Powhatan dragged her anchor and
drifted some distance, but was secured.
Particulars of the effects of the storm
elsewhere have not come IN, but il is feared
there will be bad news from the country
and sea coast.
The steamship IIbernian arrived from
England and Newfoundland Saturday
night, and brought Miss Bird, and party
Of destitute English children, fifty girls and
fifty boys.
The ship st. Louis. from Liverpool for
Philadelphia, struck on Job rock, Cape
Pine, in a dense fog, Sunday, the 10th inst,
and sunk. The crew escaped in boats and
arrived safely at Trepossey.

MISCELLANEOUS. A


Statements have been published that the
internal revenue bureau finds itself IN a
dilemma on account of the seizure and des-
truction Of tax-paid malt liquors in Massa-
chusetts. Upon inquiry at that office il is
found that no dilemma is felt there, what
ever may be the case elsewhere. The
special provisions of the statute, the de-
cisions of several of the state courts and
the decision Of the United States Supreme
court in the Lyons tax case are thought to
be clearly definite as to the rights and liabili-
ties OF the general government in the
premises.
The liberal Republican state executive
committee of New York, through their
chairman, John Cochrane, have sent an
invitation to the Democratic state commit
tee to unite in calling state convention
of those opposed to the present adminis-
tration.
Thirty cases Of pictures arrived at Gin
cinnati Yesterday from New York and Bos-
ton for the Industrial Exposition, which
opens on Wednesday Of next week.
Among the receipts were pictures from
John Hoey and Gonsil, valued at $3.50, 900.
Hawkins, West & Co.'s woolen mill, at
Dalton. Mass, was burned, together with
machinery and stock, on Monday after

THE CHOLERA. M. Thalozan, the
French physician in attendance on the
Shah of Persia, has availed himself OF his
visit to Paris to publish pamphlet on the
"Origin of the Cholera" which has been
communicated to the French Academic de
Medicine, and which seems to lend some
support to the theory which DR.. L. S. Bell,
of Philadelphia, has promulgated and SO
ably defended. NJ. Thalozan reviews the hiss
tory of cholera in Europe since 1881, and
while admitting the complexity of the phe-
nomena which often accompany it, asserts
that it is incorrect to say that cholera has
always spread from east to west, and that
India and Persia are the natural reservoirs
of the disease; that it is infinitely more
probable that cholera exists in latent and
sporadic form in various parts of the world,
and that there is good reason for believing
epidemic cholera to be closely affected by
the state of the weather, as its presence has
frequently conceded with periods Of exces
| siye drouth.

A SOUTH CAROLINA OPINION.-The
Charleston News and Courier, adyerting
to the speech of Jefferson Davis before the
Southern historical society, severely says:
"Mr. Davis has learned nothing and for
gotten nothing. 1t has been our habit to
think and speak of him with kindness, and
even affection, as thoroughly sincere,
well-meaning man, whose faults were of
the head, not the heart; but we must say
plainly that Mr.. Davis is one of the most
troublesome elements that tho south
has to deal with in its effort to
bridge the chasm Of war and secure re-
union and peace. For whatever Mr..
Davis says the southern people are held
responsible. His rash words are laid at
our doors. It is useless to deny or ex-
plain. The answer is, 'Oh, yes! You
say what is polite, but Mr.. Davis says
what YOU think This was the case with
the Atlanta speech, and it will be the
same with the speech just delivered. The
southern people have honored MIR. Davis,
and trusted him. He owes it to the south
to hold his tongue, as the best service he
can render this people" )"

SAN, FRANCISCO, August 2G.-The
James surveying party arrived at San
Diego yesterday from Yuma. They report
that they made thorough exploration south
Of the boundary line 10 the Gulf Of Califor-
MIA have made important geographi-
cal discoveries; explored the most singular
and heretofore unknown coast /; overcome
many dangers, and suffered much hard
ships. The main object Of the expedition,
which was to determine the feasibility OF
turning the waters of the Gulf of California
into the Colorado Desert, thereby creating
climatic change in Southern California,
has been successful, demonstrating the fact
that this may be done at comparatively
small expense.
