All-conquering Time and must it be?
Must all things pass away,
To dust return when touched by thee,
Thy stern behest obey?
Is there no power of earthly form
ITO cOuntermand thy laws? fFss
No potent spell or secret charm,
For once, to bid thee pause?
Nav, inexorable as fate, esF Ts.A
Thy Persian-like decree;
Of earth, the mightiest potentate
We're frail, compar red with thee!
Coeval with creations birth, q
Aye, with the world, began
Thy silent reign, that on the earth T
Will only end with man. 81 4. B..
Despoiler Of the fair and bright,
OF beauty, youth and bloom, y ID
There's none that may gaihsay thy might,
Tho silent as the tomb.
There's nothing shall escape thee here,
.Whate'er that object be; s-
Things that all-powerful appear,
Are subject still to thee.
Imposing structures nObly planned,
OF most immense design,
That seemed as doomed for aye TO stand,
These, even these, are thine!
They bid defiance TO thy reign,
The strongholds of the earth;
And yet no vestige shall remain
To mark their wondrous birth.
The princely dome, the stately tower,
That stand in proud array;
The pride of kings, their pOmp and power
All, all must pass away.
Thou monarch glorying in thy might,
No potentate Of old
Had half the power that in thy fight
Thou daily dOst unfold.
The mighty swOop of thy broad wings
Embraceth land and sea,
The world and its ephemeral things,
Are subiugste to thee.

RECOGNITION Or ezra.

Senator Carpenter has introduced a
resolution in the Senate for the recocni-
ton Of the independence Of the Cuban
republic, and this is regarded as the fore
runner Of strong and organized move
ment IN administrative and congrcssiou-
al circles to effec, the recognition. 1. is
alleged that this will be done TO circum-
vent the schemes OF agents oftho British
Government who are working for the
acquisition Of the Island to Great Brit
ian. Cuba more naturally belongs to
the United States than any other coun-
tr-, and if any acquisition is GO
IN. or, she ought TO have something TO
say about it. Cuba, at least, is entitled
I" recognition rs one of the separate ma
tions ofthe earth, after So long and val
orous struggle against the despotic
pretensiens Of mother country that
cannot govern ITSELF leaving alone its
foreign dependencies. We can see no
possible objection to the movement, and
hops congress, to a man, is earnestly in
favor Of it.

TRADE RULES THE SANE.

The junction City onion knows of 4
Woodson county granger who bought a
plow through the State grange for ST..
II, which he could have bought at home
for $3.50. We know Of several grang.
ers around here who have changed their
tune about middic-men, and see no cause
for making any further war agains, a
class of men who arc just as friendly 10
their interests as their grange agents.
Grange stores in the West are not prov
ing very successful, some of having be-
come ankrup; in a very short space OF
tune. The grange movement has un-
doubtedly benefited the farmer in some
ways, bu. has not disturbed the natural
laws of trade. Greenbacks buy the
goods at the lowest prices, whether sold
by grange store, or any other store.
Monopolies have been checked in their
abuses; farmers have been brought in
10 SORT of brotherhood, have learn
cd more Of agriculture and have been
taught lessons Of the greatest utility
all this the grange movement has done,
and undoubtedly much more. But i,
does not seem to us that that they csn
modify the laws OF trade TO any great
jc.res.

Baxter ran on the Republican ticket for
the office, while Brooks was the randi.
dato of the Liberal Republicans. Both
claimed to be elected, bat Baxter receiv-
ed the certificate of election, was sworn
into Office and held tho Same until the
other day, when he was forcibly elected
by quo ,carranto proceedings. The latest
news seems to indicate determination
on tho part of Baxter to reoccupy tho
office by force, and determination on
the part Of Brooks to defend his posi-
ton. Rrqoks holds the state house with

guarded the d Ifodches with bris,lins

will net interfere in the quarrel, unles,

shall b paid to every honorably dis
charged commissioned officer, SOL
der, musician, artifccr and WAGNER, in
GLIDING those on the rolls as slaves who
served the United States in the war OF
rebellion, the sum of $685. per month

or, in case ola volunteer. up to the
time of his muster out Of the volunteer
organization to which he belonged. In
case of death Of any such person, pay
ment is to be made to his widow, or
children. Any bounty heretofore TO
ceived from the United States, or any
state, is 10 be deducted from the allow
ance hereby authorized. No bounties
shall be paid to substitutes or to per-
sons discharged as minors. No attor-
ney shall be allowed, or pain Of fine and
Imprisonment, to receive more than $40
for prosecuting any claim under the
foregoing provisions. The bill was placed
on the calendar. The passage OF the above
would be doing tar!y justice to
large number of soldiers who have never
received any bounty. We hope Con-
gress will not fail to pass the bill.
