A CONFUSED POET.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes as follows;
An amusing story is told of the poet
Whittier, who is as modest as he is gifted.
He was 10 the city not long since, and went
to hear the Rev. E. 81. Chaplin speak lee
ture somwhere up town. The clergyman
was eloquent as usual; his discourse, inter
larded with highly wrought passages ofrhe-
toric, closing with stirring poetical quota
ton, SO well delivered that the Quaker bard
applauded with the rest.
Some one sitting next to him incurred.
''Do you know, Mr.. Whittier, who is the
author of that extract"
'No; do not. 1t sounds familiar. and
like the sentiment"
"Why, the lines are yours, Mr. Whittier,
You must remember them. They are
from your famous anti-slavery odes."
$50 they are" said Whittier, after a 1T
tie reflection and blushing like school girl
caught reading her first love letter. 81 real
ly did not recall them. Indeed, they sound
ed so much better than they ever sounded
before, that is not strange that l failed to
rec ognize them"
The poet, thoroughly sincere, did not re.
cover for some time from the embarrass-
ment of outwardly acclaiming his own
composition; but has now come to regard Il
as 30 good a joke that he tells it himself.

THE MORDOCS.
Meditation ana Treacherx.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The inter
view yesterday evening with the Indians
was very unsatisfactory. Schauchim was
quite hostile in manner and speech. Capt.
Jack was pacific. Sixty-nine warriors
were present at the council, twenty odd OF
whom we're strangers to Commissioner
Steele. After the council Scarfaced Char
ley told Steele to sleep in his bed, as there
was danger for his safety, and that he
would look out for him. Charley sat be-
side him all night. In the morning Capt.
Jack was decorated with warriors hat,
and Schauchim, who was chief speaker,
was quite ferocious in tone and manner.
After be had done Capt. Jack made war
speech and the warriors hat was removed
from his head. Twenty-three warriors
were present only at the morning council.
Jack and Schauchin claimed that these
were all the warriors they had, not think
ing they had been counted the evening be-
fore.
They finally proposed that if they could
be left in the Lvaa Bed and the past forgot
ten, they would make peace and wanted
Meacham and Apologize to come to them
tomorrow to shake hands and conclude
peace. 1t is quite evident they intended
treacherV to these men.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
James BROOKS, IIIgher Law


Boston, March 5.-The annual meeting
of the Union Pacific Railroad is in session
here to-day, President Clarke in the chair.
A caucus of the present board of directors
and stockholders, held before the meeting,
was some time in agreeing on candidates
for a new board, The Ames' interest oppos-
ing any further concession to the New
York or Clarke party than had already
been made. On the stockholders assem-
bling for business, the President read the
following:
Washington, d. c., March 3.-Hon.
Horace +. Clark-Dear Sir: In view of
the recent action of the House of Repre-
sentatives, which would seem to declare
that member of Congress because of self
interest could not vote with even a tariff
coat on his back, or in other worlds that
the House must be recruited hereafter from
the aims houses Of the country, l have
ordered to. be sold the small number of shares
l have held in the Union Pacific Railroad,
purposely to render myself ineligible to
your Board of Directors. Please also say
to the assembled stockholders that have
disqualified myself for reelection, because
| am a member Of the next Congress, and
because hereafter I intend to be free to
open my mouth without any suspicion of self
interest and to act and to vote as my judge
ment dictates; whereas for some years past l
have often withheld my vote when the
common interests of the government and
the road demanded affirmative vote and
energetic speech. Indeed, the interests of
this great government and this great road
the greatest enterprise of the world for
ten centuries-are so intentical that am
quite sure shall never find the one in con-
fiict with the other, and therefore justly de-
fend both from assault.
Yours respectfully, JAMES Brooks.
Among those elected direct are Horace
F. Clark, of New York; Augustus Schell,
of New York; Cakes Ames aud Oliver
Ames, of Easton, and Sidney Dillon, Of
Council Bluffs.

Cooke, McCulloch & Co., London, sta ting
that they have sustained no loss or liability

precise nature and extent Of which have
not yet been made known by the Bank.

THE New Haven Palladium very cruel
Iy suggests to the Temperance party of
Connecticut, if they intend to make live

viting 'those eminent Prohibitionist, Col

noting the success of the cause. There
can be no doubt of their attracting crowd

cry Of similar quantities of the same class
of property over the same part or portion
of said road. Whenever any railroad cor
pOratioD, as lessees or otherwise, operates
any other railroad, in connection with its
own road, the provisions of this act as to
charges for carrying freight, shall apply to
such other road, so operated, in like man
ner as if the same were part Of the line
of road owned by the corporation operating
the same; and for such purpose ali lines of
railroad operated by the same company
shall be considered as one and the same
road.
Mr.. Martin urged the passage of the bill
as necessary to protect the people, the build
ers of the railroads, from constant encro Ach-
ments and extJrtions at the hands OF the
officers.
Mr.. Elder opposed the bill as unnecessA-
~, illiOeral and unconstitutional.
Mr.. Trousdale took the position that it
was not necessary to impose such clos5 re-
strictions. He had every respect for the
interests of his people as placed in the rcale
against railroad corporations, but he did not
think that, looked at in the proper spirit,
the interests of the railroads were 10 any
wise separate from the interests of the peo-
pie. Competing lines would do more to
reduce rates of freigh's than anything else.
Mr.. Mulyerhili was opposed to the 'irail-
road rings" and thought the Legislature
should take action counter to them. He
did not know what they meant ty deld-

Mr.. McAdoo did not want to sc the
railroad monOpolists get complete control
OF the country, aud, by degrees, get pos
session of the reins of State.
Dir. TillmaD, of McNairy, oppose the
bill, and thought it was an attempt to fetter
and trammel the greatest source Of i'm
provemeut and development in the State.
The bill was finally rejecsed, ayes, 20,
