THE YEAR OF R SEES.
AneERsoS CHARLES swINBURNE.

From the denth 1.-THE green garden-closes
Where the summer in darkness doses
Till autumn pluck from his hand
An hOur-glass that holds no sand
From the maze that a fiower-belt encloses
To the stones and sea grass on the suan"
How red was the reign OF the roses
Over the rose-cro wned land!
The year of the rose is brief;
From the first blade blown to the shear
From the thin green leaf to the gold

Totriumph and leave not leaf
For witness in winters sight
How lovers once in the light
Would mix their breath with its breath,
And its spirit was quenched not OF night,
As love is subdued not of death.

And the earth was sweet wide smile

10 jked full on the North as IL We 1rned,
And the north was more than the soutn
For tn north, when winter was long,
In his heart had made him song,
And clothed it with wings of desire,
And shod IL with shoon as OF nre,
To carry the tale of his wrong
To the southwest wind by the sea,
That who might bear it but he

That waits till her time shall De

In the heaven where her name is love,
She warns with light from her eyes
The seasons of life as they rise;
And her eyes eyes of dove,
But the wings that light ner and bear
As an eagles, and all her hair
As IRE by the winds breath curled;
And her passage is song through the air,
And her presence is spring through the world.

And the white thorn land was afiame

And a murmer was heard of doves,
And a music beginning oflOves
In the light that the roses made,
Such light as the mnsic loves.
The music of man and maid.
But the days drop one upon one,
And chill soft wind is begun
In the heart of the rose-red maze
That weeps for the rose-leaf days
And the reign of the rose undone
That ruled so long in the light,
And by spirit, and not by sight,
Through the darkness thrilled with its breath
Still ruled in the viewless night,
AZ love might rule over death.
The time of lovers is brief;
From the fair first joy TO the GRIEF
That tells when love is grown old,
From the wa m wild kiss to the cold,
From the red TO the white rose leaf,
They have but a season to seem
As rose leaves lost on a stream
They part not and pass not apart
As q spirit from dream to dream,
Asa sorrow from heart to heart.
From the bloom and the gloom that encloses
The death bed of love where he dozeS
Till relic be left not of sand
To the hour glass that breaks in his hand,
From the change in the gray garden closes
To the last stray grass Of the strand,
A rain and ruin of roses
Over the red rose land.

NO FORCE.

Let me the simple tale repeat,
As Sadi wrote IL. Thus ii ran:
His servants, at a hun ing seat
Were roasting game for Nusherwan,
And, as they had no salt there one
Was sent upon a village near
To fetch some. Ere the man could run
The Sultan called TO him. "Come here,
Take IL a fair price, and see
There is n force, lest there should be
A precedent established so,
Which might the village overthrow"
They asked what daYg age could ensue
From such a trifie. Whereupon
he answered: when the race was new
Expressions were but small and few;
But as years went on and on
Every new conner added more
And each was larger than before,
I'LL what was small had grown so great
1t toppled DER on many a state
And crushed the people into dust.
We may be just" And from that day,
Sadi, i think, goes on 10 say,
They surnamed Nusherwan the Just.

RETURN OF A CABLE SHIP.
A YEARS woRK-sURvEYING A LINE FRO
JAPAN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-The steamer
Tuscarora, which arrived to-day. left here
just one year ago to-day to survey line
and make soundings for a cable to japan.
The first attempt from Cape Flattery was
abandoned on account of the lateness of the
season, and she made soundings on and of
tho coast from Cape Flattery to San Diego.
From that port she struck out for
Honolulu, making soundings as she
went. From Honolulu she proceeded to
Yorkshire via the Barim islands.
The deepest water on this line was 8 ,2S7
fatboms. Two lines were started from the
coast of Japan, but abandoned on account
of the great depth of water. The third line
was found feasible, and line was run to the
Kuril Island, one of the Alenttan group, and
thence run to Ounataski and from there to
Cape Flattery. The greatest depth found on
this line was five and one fourth miles.

There came to Nusherwan, surnamed the Just,
A certain man, a courtier, with the dust
OF travel on him and with heart elate.

Has taken from the world your mortal foe"-
Naming king whom death then had laid low.
And did you hear" the Sultan made reply,
That am overlooked and not TO die?

For, Ike my rivals life must end "
The courtier skunk away. abashed and sad,
For he had learned that good news may be bad.

THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION. +.
THE APPLICATIONS FOR SPACE Per ANERI-
CAN EXHIEIToRs-NATURAL RESOURCES
AND RAW MATERIALS OF DIFFERENT SEC
TONS DESIRED.
The United States Centennial Commits
sion announces its readiness to receive appli-
cations for space in the international exhibit
ton of 1876, at Philadelphia. II is important
that it should be known with the least pos
sible delay what space will be required in
each of the departments of the exhibition by
American exhibitors, in order that it may be
determined what room can be assigned to
foreign nations. Manufacturers and others
who purpose exhibiting on this occasion
should therefore make known their intention
promptly and thus avoid the disappointment
of finding the room they desire pre-occupied.
1t is especially desirable that early pro-
vision should be made for the organization
of those collective exhibitions of the natural
resources and raw materials of different sec
tions of the country, which can not be made
bv individual exhibitors. The importance
of this, as an incentive to immigration and
to the Investment of foreign capital, can not
be overestimated; and a liberal provision for
the prompt and thorough performance OF
the work will amply repay those States
which undertake it. the advertisement of
the director general of the international ex-
hibition tells in what manner applications
should be made.

The New York Evening Post says: The
Ladies' Training School for Nurses, which
was opened in the face of many difficulties,
has proved itself to be one of the most valu-
able adjuncts of the physician wherever its
usefulness has been tested. By the terms of
the gift with which it was endowed at the
outset its ministrations were to be limited
to hospitals. The medical board of Bellevue
Hospital opened several wards to the nurses
from the training school, and hitherto there
has been employment for all of them under
instruction. Now, however, three of them
are unemployed, and the lady managers
will permit them to go into private nursing
service until they are again required for
duty in the hospital. These women have
been in training service for more than a
year, and are thoroughly competent and
trustworthy.
Ihavs recently heard some touching de-
tails connected with the last hours of the be-
loved and lamented Parepa-Ross. She was
in unusual health and spirits during the
days that Immediately preceded her death
and one day she not only rehearsed the
whole of rLohengrin, but also entertained
some company in the evening. That night
j her child was born-dead. On learning the
fact of the death OF this ardently expected
and long desired infant the shock seemed Il
Il turn the poor mothers brain; she became de
lirious, wildly accusing herself of having
caused the death of her child by imprudenc'
and over-exertion, and in that state she con
tinued till her death. Her husband is sadl,
broken down both in health and spirits b,
his great loss, and though he is now engaged
in forming an English opera troupe to trave
during the coming season through the lead
ing cities OF Great Britain, he Is said to b
totally Indifferent and spiritless, possessing
scarce a shadow of his old business energ,

AT MOUNT VERNON, o.-EFFoRTs TO EsTAB-
L1sH LINE TO THE SEA.
Mt. VERNON, o., Sept. IA railroad con-
vention, under the call ofthe Peoples Ereight
Railway Company, of Pennsylvania, issued
upon a circular of the New York Cheap
Transportation Association, met in this city
to-day. The object ofthe association was to
perfect an organization in each of the States
of New jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, to push forward the sur
vey OF the best line for the construction of
a cheap freight railway between the At
lantic seaboard and the Mississippi
river. Delegates were present
States, and the convention organized by
electing the Hon. III. b. Curtis president,
and Will A. Coveter, of this city, secretary.
committee was appointed, consisting OF
the Hon. Columbus Delano, of Ohio, Gen.
Benz. Dornblazer, OF Illinois, II. M. Hamil
ton, of New Jersey, James Boyd and Judge
David Richards, of Ohio, and w. G.. Pstter-
son, of Illinois, to report the order of BUSH
ness and prepare proper resolutions. Tele-
grams were received from different
points in the Yves ern States promis-
ing assistance. On the recommendation OF
the committee, through their chairman,
the Hon. G. DelanO, committees were ap-
pointed for each State to solicit subscriptions
to pay the expenses of a preliminary survey
of the entire line, with central committee
at Pittsburg, to which the other committees
are to report. A certificate of incorporation
Tor the Peoples Freight Railway Company,
Ohio division, was executed with five incor-
poratOrs. The president was authorized to
appoint, upon the approval of the local COM
mittees, one attorney for each State to pre-
pare papers and perfect the consolidation
of the five companies into one, to be called
the Peoples Freight Railway Company.
Charles @. Quitil, late engineer of the Texas
gineer of the preliminary surveys, with his
headquarters at Pittsburg. The convention
adjourned to meet at the call of the central.
committee. There was a full attendance
from the different States, and a full inter
change of views was had and considerable
interest manifested. From the character of
the gentlemen present, success seems rea-
sonable at no distant day.

\ late dispatch says there is a likelihood
that all chances for an extended information
al squabble between Spain and the United
States, in regard to the vexed Virginlus
question, are pretty definitely settled by the
sinking of that noble fillibustering old craft,
somewhere of the Atlantic coast. At all
events the Ossipee, which had the Virginius
in tow, arrived at New York late Saturday
night all alone, and though rumOr was busy
with her many tongues, no definite infor.

The action of the greater number of rail-
roads centering IN Chicago is at once a iusti-
fication of the action of the striking engi-
neers and a criticism on the conduct of those
roads which have refused to be bound by
the terms of their contract. If the great
roads mentioned in the dispatch SEQ
no necessity to ask reduction
of the wages of the engineers, the
public can see no good reason why
a great and rich corporation like the Penn
sylvania Central and its flourishing branches
should ask these hard-worked and poorly
paid men to accept less than the average
scale. If the road found it necessary to re-
duce wages, it could have been made known
to the men in time, and consultation could
have been held, so that the mis-
chievous alternative of a strike need
not have been forced upon the en-
gineers. They are not men who delight in
impairing the industries of the country, and
from all the expressions they have made
thus far, it does not look as though they
were either malignant or blood thirsty. As
to the merits of the controversy the public
may properly hesitate to give opinion,
but that the railroads are disregard
ing the terms of their charters
in stopping public traffic, there
is no sort of room to doubt. 1t is the busi-
ness of the postoffice authorities to demand
why the contracts with the government are
not kept, and it is further the bust
ness of those who are put to
inconvenience and loss to prosecute
the railroads in the civil courts. 1t would
be just as well to learn whether the rail-
roads are above the law. AS the present
case stands, the railroads simply declare.
We will run so long as we can do 1t to suit
ourselves-when we choose to try expert
meuts in disciplining our employees, we hold
the right to do it. If they strike we shall
let them hold out as long as they
choose, and let them go to work when
they feel so disposed. III we can stand the
loss it is no affair of the public. That is vir-
tually the present attitude. An attitude,
which rightly forfeits the charter of every
road be unable to carry out its agreements.
Striking is an unreasonable and outrageous
thing in itself, but is very plain that
however much the engineers may be
at fault, the companies stand before the
country as grasping tyrants, who neither
keep faith with the employers or the public.
The companies claim sympathy and support
in this contest, clearly they can not have it
they are law breakers, and ,answerable to
heavy penalties as wet as the forfeiture OF
their charter. EaBa seoasf-Hd pos - - Z

\ very pretty complication is now threat
ened. President CASTELAR,, having quietly
submitted to the bullying of the Washing
ton war makers, and released the Virginius,
now comes forward to demand indemnifica-
ton for the insult put upon him by the I'M
founded charges and unjustifable demands
of khts Government. He will demand the re-
turn of the Virginius and money indemnifi-
cation for all the trouble the Spanish Govern
ment has been put to during the cemplica-
ton. Thanks to the bungling management
at Washington he has the matter in his own
hands, the opinion of the Acknowledgement
alone giving him the needed groundwork
for his demands. This position on the part
of the Spanish cabinet has revived the
rumors of war so assiduously nursed a few
weeks ago, and it is intimated that General
Grant will be nothing loath to put the
country at war in order to regain some of
his waning popularity. He will, conse-
quently, refuse any reparatiOn under the
Spanish demands. fearing that anything like
a concession would be recognized by the
country and the world as an admission that
the recent war preparations were assumed
without a shadow of cause.

A SUGGEST. ON no q UARANroR.S

TO the Etttt0T OF TIE Sentinel; -
SIR: Thinking it about time something
was done toward preparing for the manage
ment of an Exposition for 1874, allow me to
make the following suggestions, in view of
the fact that the regular meeting of the dele
gates to the State Board of Agriculture is to
be held next Tuesday. Taking the success
of our first attempt in the way of an Expo
sition, the benefit arising from it to the city
and city and citizens generally, and the me-
cessity of holding it again; feeling as we all
do that to reap the full benefits of the enter
prise and outlay of money that united effort
should be made by the citizens generally in
connection with the State Board, i would
suggest that the Board of Trade, or the guar
antors, select seven gentlemen from the city,
two of whom to be selected and recommended
to the delegates for election TO the Board,
and the remaining five to be appointed as an
Executive Committee to act with the State
Board as an Exposition Committee, who Will
begin the work of preparation for the Expo
sition at once, and continue it until the OPEN
ing day. Success in this way will be Gel tain.
Unless there is such a movement on the part
of our citizens, the chance TOR successful
show next fall will be very small. We have
no doubt but that the State Board will read
ily admit such an accession to their manage
ment, as the whole State is especially inter-
ested in the success of the Exposition another
season. There is not a business man In this
city who is not more or less benefited by
this yearly gathering of people and products.
Nor can we afford to lose interest in the en-
terprise. Ii the panic b ad not interferred at
the time it did, the praise of the Exposition,
with its splendid buildings, would have been
in every mans mouth. They would have
scarcely allowed the thirty DAYS of the Ex-
position in October to close before they would
have been making preparations for the next
one. Our people b ave been panic sick, but
the new year will find us all fully recovered
and ready for anything that will build up
and make attractive our beautiful city.

A very spirited meeting of the District
Grange OF White, Tppecanoe and other
counties, was held at Lafayette last Sstur-
day. The farmers came out with platform
of principles that ring as sharply, and per-
haps, little more so, than any expression
that has been made in the State before. They
distinctly say that they do not aim to speak
for the Order in this or other States, bat the
platform is the declaration of that district.
They assert the frat object in view is close
and thorough organization, so that they may
act in concert for one well defined purpose;
they will keep their own counsel, and hold q
sharp eye on applicants for membership, to
see that no wolves in sleeps clothing get
inside the Order. They deny emphatically
that they are q political party. organized for
political purposes, but the object Of reform

total consideration of sl6s26, $50 20. During
the year just closed there were s,756 deeds
fled, with an aggregate consideration of

her of transfers of 300, and in considera-
ton, SIG, 252, 906 O3, only SIS 444 20 less than
one hundred per cent. The computations
are made from daily record of the year,
kept by Messrs. L. II. & Dan Martin, real
estate dealers of this city, and are perfectly
accurate. Columns might be written upon
this result, but figures are facts and speak
for themselves. In 1872, Indianapolis tfans-
actions exceeded those of Chicago by 80 ,0o0,-
600. and st. Louis by S7.OO0,000. IL will be
interesting to make comparisons this year
also.

That was wise thought which suggested
a reunion of the school teachers, principals,
superintendents and presidents at the capt.
tai during holiday week. If comparisons
are safe guide. these annual meetings are
growing in popularity. There are in the
crowd of school people present last week
three distinct organizations, or wheels with
IN wheels. First, the General Association of
State Teachers, second, the Collegiate and
High School Section, consisting of presi-
dents and principals, and third, the County
superintendent Association. The last two
bodies met last Tuesday at the building of
the High School, while the first will con-
tiaue it's sessions at the Y. NJ. C. A. hall. At
two o'clock P. NJ. the Rev. DIR. Cyrus Mutt,
president of the State University, will de-
liver his inaugural address as President
elect of the Collegiate Section, at the High
School Building. The city is visited by
perfect avalanche OF educational literature,

miss it all and lose some very good things.
