The Bells of Sl1andon.
BY REV. FRANCIS MlHoNY.

BY REV. FRANCIS MiH0Sf.
With deep affection
And recollection,
often think Of
Those Shandon Bells,
Whose sounds so wild would,
In days Of childhood,
Fling round my cradle
Their magic spell,
On this ponder
Wherc'er wander,
And thus grow fonder,
Sweet Cork, of thee,
With thy bells of Shanlon
That sound SO grand on
The pleasant waters
or the river Lee.
I've heard bells Ginning
Full many a cline in,
Tolling sublime in
Cathedral shrine,
While at glib rate
Brass tongues would vibrate
But all their music
Spoke nausht like thine.
For memory, dwelling
On each proud swelling
OF thy belfry, knslling
Its bold notes free;
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand OH
The pleasant waters
OF the river Leo.
I've heard bells tolling
Cd Adrians s Mole in,
Their thunder rolling
From the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious
Swinging iprearious
In the gorgeous turrsts
OF Notre Dame
But thy sounds were sweetcr
Than the dome Of Peter
filings on the Iiber.
Pealiug solemnly.
. the bells of Shandon
That sound SO grand op
Tbs pleasant waters
OF the river Lee
There's a bell in Moscow;
Whilc on tower and hiesko
In Saint Sophia
The Turkman gets,
A loud ia air
Calls men to prayer
From the taparing summit
OF tall minarets,
Such empty phantom
freely grant them
But there's an anthem
More dear to me
IT'S the bells of Shandon
That sound 80 grand on
The pleasant waters
OF The river Lee.

There is, of course, no
chance for the McEnery Gov
eminent in Louisiana, with the
Federal army to put it down,
reinforced by so eminent an ex-
ample of Unionism as Gen.
Longstreet. 1t is soothingly
proclaimed over the wires,
which the administration seeks
to own altogether, that "there
will be no further troubles in
New Orleans" yet with an
announcement of the character
is coupled the menacing one
that sit will not be his 1.-THE
Presidents fault" if the peo-
pie of Louisiana are not con-
WINGED that he is in earnest.
Whether such a gratuitious
observation from the EXecu-
tive of the United States, made
to a whole population whom
he has himself wantonly de-
prived of self Government, be-
fits this or any other occasion.
it cannot take freemen long to
decide. Kellogg, then, is to be
protected as the Presidents
protege. The latter employed
Durell to invent the show of
authority, Packard as his lieu
tenant, and Emory for his re-
serve. The Kellogg Govern
ment is therefore a political
existence, having not even a
shadow of warrant in the popu-
lar will. The Senate committee
Spurned it as outrageeusly
spurious. Unless another was
recognized, the President as
Sured the Senate he should,
nevertheless, continue to suS-
tain the fraud with force. 1t

to draw all the danger from

In making war upon the Credit
MObilier corruptionists, some at
tention should be paid to the rail-
road corporations, the gigantic
monarch that lies ia silence aud
in strength behind them. In the
course of some very wise and
earnest remarks on this subject,
the other day, the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher said: "You stand
in the city of New York to-day and
look southwark, and you shall see
that great railroad corporation,
the Pennsylvania road, with
capital now, directly and through
its connecting branches, of hun
dredS and hundreds of millions of
dallars; and you look little
further to the north and see the
Erie railroad, with a capital of
hundreds of millions of dollars;
Still further to the north you see
the New York Central, with a cap
ital of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. Now, let there come up a
question OF national politics which
touches the railway interests so
that these great roads join their
hands and their capitals, what
power is there on this continent
that could for a moment resist
them? We have a disguised
despOt among us. We have a
tyrant that is more tyrannical in
possibility in the future than ever
slavery was. Slavery is dead, but
Mammon stands in its place to-
day. and there is no legislature
that exists on this continent that
could not be crushed or bought
by the combinations of such vast
treasures as are held in the hands
of only three central roads"
Thereare many Statesin the Union
which are now completely under
their control, and they are gradu,
ally strengthening their grip upon
others. They have had complete
ascendency in Congress, and we
have seen the fruits of their power
Mr.. Beecher does not exaggerate
the danger of this "disguised des
pot.'- Courier Journal.

The members of the Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature seem to be given
TO superstition. a Board of tbir-
teen members was lately objected
to on the ground that thirteen
was an nnlucky number, and it
was accordingly changed to eleven.
These SolonS ought never to do
anything on Friday or IN the full
of the moon. The orb of night is
reputed to have a very baleful
effect sometimes on such brains
as theirs.

ruE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

The telegaphic news from France Is preg-
nant with Important Developments, the f,nal
accomplishment Of which cannot much longer
be delayed. Three hundred and nfty dcle-
gates to the Assembly have declared In favor
Of return to a nonarchlcal form Of govern
mont. This simply means that tho Count dc
Chambord 10 to be placed upon the throne
Sustained as he Is, not only by strong party
among the people, but by the pronounced
sympathy Of the Pope, It Is among the proba'
bilities Of the not far distant future that hi'
ambition to reclaim the Government Of
France to the Bourbon family may be real
lied. Under any circumstances, troubloui
times arc to be apprchcnded, and 1t Is to b
feared that the days Of the French republic
arc numbered.
