Fiercely be cried TO the cruel tate rrr. -

That left him loveless without a mate.

Arose on the wings of the rising sun, y.
To the sapphire gates of the golden morn.
Like a tear she hung In the azure eye I'd itr
or the shining day till the evening hour,IfEr11
Then felI-a gem rom the jeweled sky r-rr
A drop of dew In the Heart OF flower.
In the blossom 8 bosom she lay and slept,
Like q tiny spark rom a shatter ed STAR, rt .
Till waking down to the ground she crept'
And weeping sought for her love aiar' ri. q
Little by little her current grew
Swifter and swifter her footsteps sped; !,
For the love that she followed was strong anu
And Stretched to the sea like a silver thread
Year after year flowed the rivers tide, rf
Year after year sobbed the sea alone;
Then his strong arms held to ais heart Its bride,
And the faithful river had found It's own. n

usual distressing and violent motion. The
idea of Captain Dicey is that of two ships

are thus in the middle. Should the expert

The Alabama Claims.

In the Alabama Claims Court, case lis vs.. the
United States came up for discussion to-day on a
demurrer entered by General Creswell, counsel
for the government, demurring to the petition on
the ground that Gordon al the time Of the alleged
loss, although serving on an American vessel, was
a British subject.
The argument developed that the questions were
the most important that have yet risen in court,
and introduced important law points connected
with citizenship, naturalization and extrpation.
A decision will probably be rendered next week.
An important case was set for hearing on
next Monday. Whiting VS.. the United States.

Surprising Developments.

Portland, December IL. The trial of Rodney
l.. Fogg, Of Augusta, Superintendent of the gov
eminent quarries at Dix Island, on the charge of
bribing voters at the last State election commenc-
cd in the United States Circuit Court, before
Judge Fox, this morning. Three witnesses were
called for the government, two of whom testified
that Fogg gave them a vote and $40 each, and
that they deposited the vote as directed; and the
third testified that Fogg gave him ten dollars, but
did not say anything about voting.
The cross examination developed the fact that
the reputation of the witnesses for truth and YER
acity was bad, and that one of them had been in
Jail for petty larceny!
For the defence twenty-seven witnesses were
called, many of them leading citizens Of Augusta,
and their testimony was directed to impeaching
the characters of the witnesses On the other side.
The case was not concluded at the adjournment.
