"coRN IS KING OF THE WEST,
BIZ LorTA W. ROSE.


See! left and light of US,
Far out of sight of us,
bis mighty battalions
Are marshaled to-day
Standing up, enc by one,
High in the cleaning sun,
See the lines stretching
Away and away
No guns or cauuonade
Marshaled on dress-parade-
Only the cleaning blade;
Mark you that cleaning blade
Artisan never made
Emerald uniform,
Tassels of gold,
Banners of silken sheen;
Deep their bright folds between
4 cornucopia
Each soldiers hands hold.
Long since their march begun;
Neier will their march be done
TIL meath the setting sun,
Bow their heads. one by one
Bow in the sunshine,
The Ocean TO greet;
Know neither pause nor rest,
Never till CLEANS their crest
O'ar all the mighty West,
And the waves of Ocean
Roll at their feet
Prairies grow green with them.
See YOU the sheen OF them
Line upon line of them
stretching away
Ranks upon ranks of them,
Emerald banks of them,
Who will outnumber
These legions to-day?
Lip.rS IJnOn ancient thrones,
BuiIded OH human bones,
Meath whose foundation-stones
Hear we a nations gruans,
Merit your armies
Zen Fame's transient breath
Out on the whole of them
Blot out the roll OF them
What is their merit
Save bloodshed and death !?
And hail to our glorious
Armies victorious
Hear We the cheers for them?
Where are the peers of them,
Conqueriug poverty,
Blessing the earto,
Aud bidding defiance
To ogres and giants
That haunt the Old world
Gaunt Famine and Death?
These are '' our country's pride"
Reaching out far aud wide,
For to the setting sun
Cleaning their crest
All through Its vast regions
Long may the fair legions
OF Plenty and Peace
stand guard DER the West.

A Remarkable Family.

A recent number of the Buffalo Com
naercSdL contains the following stThere
is gathered at the residence of Mr.. Cy-
rus DeForest, in this city, family re-
union such as, we believe, has few par
allels. It consists of the five sons and
three daughters of Gideon DeForest
and wife, all born in Edmeston, Otsego
county, the youngest OF whom is now
81 years old, the oldest being 49, The
family circle has never been broken, ex-
cept by the accidental death of a son
two years old, and this meeting of all
its members, whose homes are in vari-
oTls parts of the country,--some living
in Wisconsin, some on Staten Island,
and the others widely scattered, seems
quite remarkable.
The names of this family, given in
the order of their ages, are as follow :
Abel Birdsey DeForest, born Dec. 80,
1895 Lee DeForest, born Aug. z, 1913;
Sally DeForest Campbell, Cyrus Haw-
ley DeForest, Maria DeForest Snyder,
Charles Augustus DeForest, Tracy Rob
Deforest, and Harriet DeForest Fuller,
the youngest, born July %, 1918. The
father and mother of the family moved
from Connecticut to Otsego county
when it was an inhabited wilderness,
and there the family was reared, the
primitive mode of their living doubtless
doing much to give them their robust
constitutions and thus prolong their
lives. The father died in 184O and the
mother in 1874"
A DOUBLE -HEADER.-The Paducah
KentuckiG1a furnishes the following
double-headed snake story oCapt.
HowIe, reliable gentleman living near
Lovelaceville, told us yesterday about a
curious snake shot and killed in his
neighborhood the other day. The snake
was about three feet long, and about as
large as the average forearm of a man.
1t had two perfectly formed heads, one
where the tail ought to have been, and
of course bad no tail. The man who
killed it said that it could travel with
either head in front, and those who ex-
amined it after it was dead found per-
fectly developed fangs in both heads. !"
LEMON BUTTER.-One pound of sugar,
five eggs. juice and grated rinds of three
large or four small lemons (none of the
seeds), one quarter pound fresh butter.
Put into saucepan and boil about ten
minutes, stirring all the time, till it is
thick as honey. Good for jelly cakes,
tarts, and cheese cakes. Keep well if
dry and cool.

A Private Political Pow Wow
A Caucus at Lowell's Man
sion.
Putting Heads Together.

To those who do not affect a warm interes
in politics until just before a campaign opens
it, perhaps, would be hardly credited that the
pipes are already being laid, and wires pu
in order to insure a Radical victory next cleo
ton.
A festive party of politicians, disguised with
the sultry air OF the city and painting for the
water brooks, took the Carrollton cars yester-
day afternoon, to journey to that sequestered
spot where dwells the defaulting postmaster,
Lowell The party was composed of Stamps,
the dusky Senator; Monteuse, II. G. Dibble,
Judge; Sheridan, of the Custom-House, and
Edingham Lawrence, Esq, the Fusion candi-
date at the last election for Congress, and also
three or four lesser lights.
They alighted at the Carrollton depot and
engaged in pleasant chit-chat on topics other
than that which brought them together. After
some time spent in this harmless kind of sport
q conveyance arrived, and the statesmen went
on their way rejoicing, in the direction OF
Lowells house.
The q,1id 1uncs of Carrolton began to shake
their heads ominously, whispering Of new
coalitions, bargains. etc, which so aroused
the curiosity Of the representative OF the Bull
LErIN that he at once went on the trail OF the
meaning of this pow-wow.
One old politician said that he knew all
about the matter; that Warmoth was trying,
through Ef1ngham Lawrence, to work his way
back into the Custom-House party and by
previous agreement this caucus WAS held.
When our representative mildly suggested
that Mr.. Ehngham Lawrence could hardly be
considered as the proper person to get tavors
from the Republicans, the old wire-worker
simply replied that the same thought had
struck him, but be stuck to, bis old opinion.
Meeting prominent henchman in the Rad
ical party, we put the question to him and he
at once unbosomed himself 'The assem-
blage at Lowell's house" said he, lis for the
purpose of looking after Sheldon's interest, and
to fix up q slate for Jefferson parish for the
coming election. The boys who are up there
are holding that little party to-day, away out
of town, so that they can have it quietly all to
themselves.
"The only thing, said he, ''that bothers
me at all is what's Efingham Lawrence doing
in such crowd?" How does it come that
this staunch old Fusionist takes private trip
with such men as Stamps, Monteuse, Dibble
and Sheridan? That gets me"
We took the same view of the matter as the
youthful Radical and sorrowfully returned to

The Young Mems Benevolent Association.

! Ine 1Oung Mems Ben0vOlent ASSOCIATION
| The above named association were out il
full force Sunday afternoon to celebrate theil
sixteenth anniversary. At their head int
band of music enlivened the occasion. Mex
in order came the marshals and various othel
officers. Then followed the members, carry
| ing in their midst their banners, on which va
rious devices, indicating the objects of the
association, were painted. The procession
was closed by some half dozen carriages,
occupied by the invited guests.
The line of march was first up town. On
reaching the Crescent City confectionery, at
the corner of st. Andrew and Magazine streets,
halt was made, and from the gallery of the
building specified Judge Braugh, the president
of the association, in few neat and apprO-
pirate remarks presented to the society," on
behalf of its officers, a magnificent American
flag After partaking of refreshments the line
was again formed, and with music playing
and banners flying to the breeze, this benevo-
lent organization retraced its steps. Space
will not allow us to go into minute details of
all that was said and done.
Let it suffice that after long and wearisome
march, the association, with its invited guests,
repaired to Johns Restaurant, where boun-
teous repass was spread. After doing full JUS
tice to all the good things, champagne COM
menced to flow freely. Then followed the
usual complimentary toasts. Judge George
H. Braughn, in opening his remarks, congrat-
ulated his associates upon the successful dis
play of the day, and thanked them for their
orderly conduct upon the occasion. He re-
viewed the history Of the association for the
past year, and was thankful that death had
been spared to their midst.
He was followed by number of other
gentlemen, not excepting representatives OF
the press. Altogether the occasion was a
happy one, and at late hour the festive board
was deserted. For the courtesies extended
our representatives and for the compliments
paid the BULLETIN, our thanks are due. The
association has for its object sacred and holy
cause. May it ever be encouraged in the
noble work set before it.

Eight o'clock is the hour of the diamond rim

An action is, it is understood, about to be
brought in New York against the directors Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company by
certain of the stockholders. The directors
paid no dividends during 1870, 1871 and 1872
although it is alleged that the earnings were
very large and we're applied to the purchase
of stock at low price for the company. This
failure to pay dividends brought the stock
down to figure 80 low that small sharehold-

in the action referred to intend to compel the
directors, if possible, to return the stock so
sold, and to account for the dividends which
