A P0etical Dun.

MEssRs. EDIToKs-I send you the
following poetical dun, as think it ap-
plicable to your delinquents. 1t may
open their eyes to the necessity of pay
ing for their paper. Any one who has
ever read Longfellow's Hiawatha will
recognize the closeness of style:-
Should you ask us why this dunning,
Why these sad complaints and muir
murs,-
Murmurs loud about delinquents,
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have neve never paid
for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of State affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instruction,
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly.
Should YOU ask us why this dunning,
We should answer, we should tell you
From the printer. from the mailer,
From the labouring paper-maker,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters
With stamp from Uncle Samuel
"Uncle SAM the rowdies call him, -
From them all there comes message,
A message kind, but firmly spoken,
Please to pay us that you owe u.s."
Sad it is to hear such message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left us,
When the greenbacks all have van
ished;
Gone to pay the paper-maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the telegrapher,
Conc to pay the little carrier,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay Uncle Somuel--
"Uncle Sam" the rowdies call him.
Gone to pay the correspondents,
Two and fifty thousand dollars.
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn to leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years of toilsome labor,
Due despite our constant dunnlng,
Due in sums Of ten and twenty.
Would you lift burden from us?
Would you drive spectre from you?
Would you taste pleasant slrmber?
Would you have quiet conscience?
Would you read paper paid for?
Send us money-send us money,
Send the money that you owe US.

Governor Hendricks in his recent
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, speech, reviews the
provisions of the act to resume specie
payment in 1879; shows that the en-
forcement Of that law is daily in
creasing the bonded Indebtedness Of
the United States, bearing interest
payable in gold, and that the contin.
ued and complete compliance with its
provisions will bring hopeless ruin
upon the industries and pros
perity of the country. He declares
that the policy of tho Republican
party has been such as to make the
disproportion between coin and cur,
rency so great that q resumption OF
specie payments within the time pre-
scribed by Congress cannot bo accom-,
plished without widespread and ia
tai disaster; that resumption can on.
ly be attained by stimulating all OF
our productions and reducing our
foreign debt, which annually with
draws such an amount of gold from
US as to render specie payment impos-
sible in the near future.

The MISSISSIPPI JETTY-NEW
York, SEPT. 1.-The board of engineers
invited by Captain Eads for Consulta-
tion on the work at the mouth of the
Mississippi, met in formal session to-day.
General Barnard, of the United States
Engineer Corps, was chosen President.
Captain Eads addressed the board, re-
questing an examination and criticism
of his place. The board spent the day
discussing the location of the jetty, now
being built. Before the formal session
began, President Grant visited the
rooms of the board and remained some
time in conversation with the members
relative to the work.

WALLACK'S THEATER.

Those who enjoy comic opera will have the
opportunity Thursday evening OF hearing the oest
work of its kind The Grand Duchess at Waack's
Thcater We are informed that tho piece is to be set in
new scenery painted by Mr. Morgan ard that the parts
are cast as follows Duchess. Miss Julia Mathews;
Wanda Miss Rose Temple Fritz, Mr. A. Brennr; General
Boupa, Mr. G. W. Mscdennott; Prince Paul. Mr.. William
Forester; Baron Grog NJ DeLorme Baron Puc Mr. John
Uagan; Nep0muc Mr.. ii. Collier. II is said that Miss
Julia Mathews was the fist, among English speaking
actors to represent the Grand Duchess This was seven
wears ago, at Covent Garden Tneater London, when
tho opera had a continuous run OF 200 nights. From
what we have of the acting of Miss Mathews we
Judge that she will easily prove the best English repre-
sentative OF the Grand Duchess.
