PINK AND PURPLE.


Pink and purple, arching over
Meadow.slopes thick set with clover
Pink and purple and blue together
o the perfect summer weather.
o the corn, with green leaves cleaning
o the roses deep in dreaming
Wherefore, darling, dost thou tarry?
Come and bind the spell Of facryl
Pink and purple slowly fading,
{ Fainter colors iLtershading-
Hid in dusk, the insect chorus,
Tells that night is falling DER US.
In the east a star is burning
Signal, dear, Of thy returning;
And the babyIs eyes are weary;
Come and bind the spell of faeryi
Pink and purple gone together,
o the perfect summer weaiher!
o the dark blue, arching over
Meadow slopes, thick set with cloyeri
0 the ceaseless insect droning
o the tender baby.crooningi
And the love that does not larry,
Making all world Of faery.

Farmers have long been aware of the
folly. and worse than folly, OF going To
law. but the lack Of business and social
intercourse with their neighbors often
prevents proper understanding OF right

brought farmers into closer communion

1t will thus be seen that under the or.
binary circumstances, million bales Of
cotton are as valuable to the planter, and
will bring as much money as can be OBJ
tanned for a, or even 8 million bales
A small crop is increased in value by
speculation. A large crop is increased
in value by any disturbance of the money
market or by war, pestience or famine.
The surplus land can be prohtably ocou-
pied in producing pork, corn and hay,

liquor most of the time, committed n
horrible murder at o'clock this even
ing. lie has been in the habit of abus-
ing his wife, who, i; is said, has been
equally abusive TO him. She left him
and had applied for divorce. The
trial was set for Wednesday next. Nc
Dermott called at his mother.in-l
residence, where his wife was, asking
her to come back and live with him,
which she agreed to do on Monday. He
then left the house and returned in ten
minutes with q large navy revolver,
and found Mrs. McDcrmott nursing
her baby. He raised the weapon and
deliberately fired at her. The ball
struck the baby in the forehead, passing
clear through its head and lodging in
the right breast Of its mother, produc-
ing probably fatal wound. lie then
placed the revolver to his head aud
blew his own brains out. The baby
died instantly. But little hopes are on
tertained for the recovery Of its mother.

Correspondence Cincinnati Commcrcisi.l
The new Secretary of the Treasury
entered upon his duties to-day. His
first official act implies that he Is no,
one of the routine kind OF men. Dur
ing the afternoon Supervising Architect
Mulleit sent 10 Secretary Bristow for
his signature 10 an order. The messcn'
ger who brought the document was
sent back 10 Mulleit with polite re.
quest that the great man should step up
10 the Secretary's Office. The chiei
architect complied, aud was ,hereupon
put through thorough cross-examina-
lion, the Secretary maniiesting deep
interest In the subject of architecture
aud everything connected with IL. Mr..
Bristow was curious TO know all the
details, and Mr.. Mulett was required
10 bring up plans and drawings and eX-
plain them. He was engaged an hour
and half in explaining the order aud
when he withdrew he was fully i'm.
pressed with the fact that the new Sec.
rotary OF the Treasury is bound 10
know what is goinglon among his sub
ordinates.
Assistant Secretary Sawyer has been
asked TO resign. lie will be compelled TO
vacate in spite OF the efforts of General
Horace Porter aud Rufus Ingalls,, who
are in town working to have him re.
tanned. When General Bristow accept
ed the appointment OF Secretary of the
Treasury from the President 1t was
with the distinct understanding that he
should have full swing, He does not
intend to make many changes among
his subordinatos, but among those who
must leave is Sawyer.
The New York custom house ring
brought strong influence 10 bear on
Grant in Sawycr's favor during his re.
cen, visit to that city, aud 1t was thought
fora while that he had been shaken a
little in his opinions. The irtluencG
did not last long, however, and he has
again come to the conclusion that the
whole Sanborn crowd had better leave.
LATER.-Whcn 1t was represented TO
General Brsiow to-day that strong
pressure was being brought TO bear ia
retain Sawyer as Assistant Secretary
the General very promptly aud deci-
sively remarked, "lf Mr.. Sawyer does
not 90 | will not remain; we cannot
serve on the same ship" The result is
that after hard struggle, Sawyer has
agreed 10 resign, and will send in hi:
formal letter 10 that effect tomorrow.
SO that the last of the Sauboru crowd
has finally Withdrawn.

Sherman.

In reference to that distinguished pG-
sonagc sometimes called William h.
cumseh, whom we remember to haze
interviewed on certain occasion, vc
have the following from a New Yorl
Tribune correspondent. II illustrate
the character and disposition Of tn
man:
General Sherman ha, never agree
with Secretary Belknap as to where tn
dividing line between their function
should be drawn. Once he tried TO maxi
all the heads Of bureaus in the War Dr.
'partment report to him as staff officer,
which would have reduced the Seer
tary to sort Of head clerk to registu
the orders of the General. Secrotar
Belknap, who is about as positive 1
man as General Sherman, would no
submit to this, and the President side
with him. Since then General Sher
man has spent much of his time il
travelling.
