WAITING.

Thou of the sunny head,
With lilies garlanded,
And bosom fairer than the blown sea foam:
o Spring, in what waste desert dost thou stay
Whilst leaves await thy presence TO unfold?
The branches of the lime with frost are eray
And all imprisoned is the crOcus' gold:
Come, sweet Enehantress, comel
Though, in the sOmbre west
Thy star hath Int his crest
Pale PhosphOr, fronting full the withered moon
Thy violets are sepulUured in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Rude winds throughout the ruined forests
blow,
And silent is the doves melOdious moan:
Enchantress, hasten soon.
White are the country ways,
And white and tangled maze,
Loved on the oxlip and the creeping thyme:
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge,
Cold giOOms the spectral mill above the flood;
HOarse torrents stream beneath the iyied
bridge,
And lghtnings strike the darkness Of the
wood:
Enchantress, bless our cline.
No bloom Of dewy morn,
No freshly-blosSOmed thorn
Gladdens the impOrtunings of sad eyes;
The day wastes drearily, through cloud and
sleet;
Over the watered meadows and stark wales
The night comes down impetuous and feet,
And ships and cities shiVer in the gales:
fair Enchantress, rise.

Arise and bring with thee


The rathe bud for the tree,
The healing sunshine for the trampled grass;
Loose tendrils for the boughs which bless the

The pendent flames which the laburnum

And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac
flowers.
Enchanuess, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, of old,
Thy garments glittering fold
Thy radiant footprint on the mead or waste;
Earth kindled az thine advent-altars burned
And ringing cymbals babe the hearths be
gay;
But now, in sunless sOlitudes inurned,
Thou leayst the world unto reluctant day
haste, Enchantress, haste!
The lark shall sing again,
Between the sun and rain.
The brown bee through the Powered pastures
roam.
There shall be music in the frozen woods,
A gurgling carol in the rushing brook,
An OdOr in the half-unbOSOmed bud
And dancing fOx-glOyes in each forest nook:

MONDAY MORNING, DEC. 21, IA,
A Warming.

The Kelley school of fnaneiers who insist
that so long as paper money is backed "by
the faith and resources of the state" and is re-
ceived for taxes, there can be no use for bet
ter money, would do well to see how their
theory works in Arkansas. That state has
outstanding state scrip and other evidences Of
state debt based upon the faith and resources
of Arkansas, and all of these are receivable for
taxes. As there is enough of this scrip to
pay the taxes of three years, no other money
finds its way into the state treasury, all sal
aries are paid in scrip and everything the
state needs is purchased with the same. SO
far Mr.. KeIley's theory is good in practice
Now comes hitch. There being three times
as much scrip out as is required to pay the
state tax of any one year, it happens natural
ly that the supply is much greater than the
demand. The result is that when the ofiicia
goes to market with his scrip to purchase
supplies for the state or for himself his dollar
backed by the state, is only good for forty
cents, consequently the expenses of the state
are nominally three times greater than though
the taxes were made payable in the money
recognized by the commercial world. Ar
kansas has issued bonds, the interest on
which is payable in the currency of the coun-
try, but as the state has no revenue except
this redundant scrip, no interest has been paid
for some time.
Can it be that these gentlemen in Congress
who are so anxious to issue more paper
money, have heard of the trial OF their theory
in Arkansas? If they have, can they see that
any different results will follow, should the
United States issue more greenbacks and
make all taxes and revenue payable in the
same as most of them desire? 1t is said that
the imitation craze is subsiding. 1t is about
time.

Current Notes.

The Chicago Tribune says: Congress will
not probably venture to pass any transporta-
tion bill which contemplates the expenditure
of large sums of money, and the mere discus
sion of such bills is not WISE"
The Hartford Couraat thinks that "there
are SO many gentlemen Of talent and expe-
rience' in Washington that more definite
description is desired from Mr.. Irwin of the
lobbyists, who succeeded so well in managing
the affairs of the Pacific Mail Company. tits
probable that number of individuals are
kept by the investigation upon the ragged
edge of anxiety, and the hope is INDUCED by
the public that the committee is investigating
for the purpose of finding out who shared the
plunder."
The st. Louis Globe wants the last ray OF
the "civil service force snuffed out" 1t is
moved to make this remark because postal
route agents are required once IN while to
show their proficiency by distributing cards
bearing the names OF the post offices in the
states with which they have to do, into boxes
representing the respective routes over which
letters TO those places should be sent If this
test of efficiency is civil service, give as more
of it.
A dangerous Ieniency in the execution of
the law and admitting wealthy murderer to
bail in $4,000, is assigned as the cause of the
recent application of lynch law at Des Moines,
Iowa.
Col A. K. Mcclure has purchased the
Philadelphia Age and it is to be high-toned
reform organ. "Aleck" has met with a
change of heart politically during the past six
years.
The Chicago Tribune expresses the opinion
that the House of Representatives has COM
mitted three grave blunders thus far: First
refusing to pass Holman's resolution de-
claring against railroad grants and subsidies !;
second, its refusal to repeal the "gag law
third, examination into the conduct of fed
eral officers in connection with the safe bur-
glary.
The New York Evening Post says that
the tariff on tea and coffee does not increase
the price to the consumer, and advocates its
early restoration. Will the Post extend this
remark TO tariff on lumber, cotton and
wooden goods, etc.?
The London Economist in answering the
objection of British manufacturers to the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty on the ground that
American goods will be admitted to the Do
minion under lower duties than are imposed
on English made goods, tells the Britishers
that the Dominion admits English goods at
a low tariff, by smuggling English goods
may find their way indirectly Into the
United States through the very clauses of the
reciprocity treaty which the United States
negotiators might otherwise think most to
their advantage.

SENATOR LOGAN should not be surprised
at any time, to find that the people of Illinois
have renudiated his pernicious currency
theories since no paper in the country is show
ing up the fallacies of the infationists SO Wig
orously and in so unanswerable arguments as
the Chicago Tribune. 1t is quite possible that
the defeat of the Republicans in that state is
largely due to Gen. Logan's imitation heresies
and his prominence in opposing the Presi.
dents attempts to reform the civil service.

ENGLAND has lost another good customer
for one of her chief exports. Russia wants
no more coal from England, having discov-
cred vast deposit in the basin of the river
Dwetz, an affiuent of the Don. Deep shafts
have been sunk, and the Russian coal, fine in
quality, is now used in all the manufactures
between Toula and Moscow. Perhaps the
discovery is quite as well for England, her
economists having of late expressed fears
that her coal measures are becoming ex-

THE disadvantages of bad education have
lately received signal Illustration. Cham
berlain, the man indicted for sending scurri-
lous postal cards through the mail, was ar
rested on the evidence of his spelling. 1t ap-
pears that he has an eccentric way of spelling
villain, "villen," and robbed, ''robed." These
photographed eccentricities cropped out in
the Objectionable postal CARDS, and resulted in
the arrest of Chamberlain. Moral: Let us
all learn to spell.

THE river st. Lawrence isn't going TO

Mr.. WILLARD of Vermont, told the House
the other day that there is no warrant any

which lying IN front OF the grocery store kept

nue.. The detective followed the thieves to l23d

refused to accompany him to the station house.
and the olhcer was obliged to draw
his revolver before they could be induced
TO change their minds. When searched an as
tonishng discovery was made. On their persons
were found number OF revolvers, vast guam
tity Of jewelry, watch movements &c, evidently
the proceeds OF a burglary perpetrated upon a
Jewelry STORE, and two black alpaca masks. The
prisoners were taken TO the Harlem Police Court,
where they described themselves as John Williams
aged seventeen, carpenter, and John Patterson
aged eighteen, no occupation. They were com
mtted to answer for the rObbng OF the grocery
store, in default OF $500 bail each. Both were
aiterward taken to the Central ONCE, where the
plumber found upon them was inspected 10y Mr..

last week. He was unable, however, to identity
any portion Of the property.

NAVAL MATTERS.

The United States s0op-oi-war Juniata left the
Navy Yard yesterday and dropped down to the
Battery, near which she anchored. Her prepara-
tions for sea have almost been completed. To-
morrow she will receive her powder, and will
probably sail for Key West on Tuesday. The Juni-
alta Is short of officers.
The Dictator will be ready for sea tomorrow and
will be conveyed to Key West by the Juniata.
Business at the Navy Yard is comparatively dull.
1t is expected that further orders for the discharge
Of workmen will shortly be received
The Swatara, at New York, and the ouennebauq
at Philadelphia, will soon have their machinery
completed. The boilers have just arrived in three
masted schooner from Washington. The schooner
also carries machinery Tor the Boston NAVY Yard
The Roanoke monitor, which has gone ia to COM
mission, wll drop down to the Battery, or perhaps
