POETRY.


We stood beside the sleeping bay;
She held my gitt-rose in her hand;
II was the last sweet trysting-day,
And then, no, for strange, far land.
She plueked each tender leaf apart,
And each leaf told its tale to me-
Each leaf hope torn from my heart;
The leaves fell fluttering by the sea.
And oft in far-off lands / thought
OF one who never could be mine;
Who must be loved, but be unsought- s
Twas hard to love and not repine.
Those rose-leaves withered on the sand,
But other roses bloom for thee;
o lost love in the distant land,
o rose leaves withered by the sea!

A good many afflicted people who have had
their rect broken BY the yelping ours that nfcst
Washington will bid Caleb Cushing God speed
in his endeavor to show that citizens have some
rights in the matter that dog-owners are bound
to respect. He yesterday brought 8 suit in the
District courts against the owner OF one of these
pests, claiming s1.OO0 damages on the first
count, and IS 900 on the second. He sets forth
that the defendant did wrongfully keep a dog
which "was used and accustomed to bark con-
tinually by day and night, and that on Satur-
day, the 18th inst, the defendant did then and
there allow the said dog to bark necessarily
from early in the day through the whole day
and night following, and did thereby hinder
and prevent the plaintiff from studying and
tTansactIng his lawful business by day, and de-
prived him Of his sleep during the night, as in
juriously to affect his health and the peaceful
use of his property" The second count alleges
the keeping of the same dog, and that said dog
was dangerous one.
MIR. Gushing originally sought remedy for his
grievance before the Board of Health, but that
body held that they had not the power to re-
lieve him, and he accordingly brought the mat
ter before the courts. he is too good q lawyer
not to know what he is about, and the fac. that
he has instituted this suit will give great en-
cOUragement to those troubled by the same nui-
sance 10 believe that they have legal rights in
the premises. The case will be watched with
interest.

The police commissioners Of Baltimore, as do
those Of Washington, sdhere 10 the indefensible
practice Of secret sessions, and consequently
reporters were not admitted to the recent in
vestis alton. into the charge against some Of the
policemen Of conniving at the rowdy attack
upon the colored Sunday School procession, or
Of not doing their duty on the occasion.
The police commissioners, finding themselves
censured pretty severely for this tar-chamber
practice, have now undertaken to give out a
"synopsis" OF the evidence; but it Is charged
that the evidence thus published is garbled
and that il suppresses all the testimony bearing
against one Of the policemen who dragged away
q colored man to the station house for "lnso-
lence, because the latter in reply to An order
from the policemen to go home, answered that
he "paid rent" for the house where he was
standing, and further declared that he would
not submit TO arrest, because he had done moth
ing. The American sharply censures the COM
missioners for their course, and the Sun sug-
gests, guardedly, that sit was a mistake or
error IN point Of Judgment" to conduct the ex-
animation with closed doors, and In the ab-
sence OF the reporters Of the daily press, "if 1t
was the original intention of the board to pub
iish the testimony Of the Witnesses" There is
really no more reason why police commissioners
should sit with closed doors than any other
nuniciIal or legislative body.

A correspondent of the New York Herald, re-
terring TO the statements about a ssmock mar
rage" between Goodrich and his murderess,
calls attention to the fact that under the laws
OF New York there can be no such thing as a
mock marriage between single persons. Any
agreement to live together as husband and wife
marries them. There is no need of priest mag
istrate or formal ceremony. If, therefore, as
Miss Kings letter AYERS, there was an agree
ment Of marriage between Goodrich and her
before some doctor or third person, and if
Goodrich and she were then both single, it was
real marriage. and the woman now in Brook
Ign jail Is his widow, and the charge against
her Is that of having murdered her lawful hus-
band. This construction of the laws of New
YORK VIII be rather embarrassing to parties In
that state Of the Goodrich class who have beer
playing the game Of bogus marriage, supposing
they were not thereby mourning any legal obli-
cations.

Members OF the syndicate are much elated
over the subscription Of the German Govern
ment to the new ave per cents. Of twelve mil
hons. They claim that this action OF the Ger
ment VIII stimulate subscriptions from the Ger
man people TO an extent that will enable them
TO place at least one hundred millions in that
country alone. The indications are that the
Secretary Of the Treasury will issue call on
or before the LIST Of August for an additional
amount Of rye-twenties. The call will probably
exceed twenty-hve millions.

Several gentlemen representing q large
amount of capital in Pennsylvania have just
completed a tour OF the western sections of
Virginia, under the charge OF Mr.. Barbour,
president Of the Orange and Alexandria rail-
road, for the purpose Of ascertaining the nature
and extent OF the mineral deposits in the state.
he Alexandria journals say that these gentle
mer are very fsvorably impressed with what
they saw, and have no doubt their report will
set forth the mining capacities of Virginia in
such a way as to enlist the capital which they
represent in the enterprise of developing the
mineral resources OF the state. Prior to leaving
