Lines on Mitchell.
ON the LouisvilIe Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Weep, Erin, weep, let thy burning tears flow
Like. streams Of thy hills be the torrent youm
shed;
Weep, Mother. weep, let thy heart writhe in woe,
For Mitchell, your bravest, your truest, is dead
Cold is the heart that beat proudly for thee,
The heart that was always faithful and true
Home and in exile, imprisoned or free,
All, Mother, its hrst love still centered in You
Sing o ye breezes that round Erin blow,
The dirge of our Mitchell DER mountain and sea :;
Sing o We streamlets and rivers that flow,
Sing Shannon, Blackwater sing LipPy and Lee
Shades of our fathers come tell US, tell,
Ye've welcomed our Mitchell on Liberty's shore
Speak ye, who like him, for liberty fell,
And purpIed our valleys aud hills with your
gorel
Why need we ask well we know if there be,
In all the unlimited realms Of space,
One place set apart by the God of the Free
For those who defended the rights Of their race,
Erin your Mitchell has there found home
With Sarsfield and Hoefer, Jackson and Lee.
If from that dwelling he ever should roam,
o, Mother twill be the first moment you're
free

A sister'sLOye.

Who can tell the thoughts that
cluster around the word Sister? How
ready she is TO forgive the errors,
to excuse the foibles of a brother;
She never deserts him. In adversi-
ty she clings closely to him and in
trial she cheers him, And when the
bitter voice of reproach is poured in
his ears, she is ever ready to hush it's
hard tones, and turn his attention
away from its painful notes. But
let him move in fiowery path and
she hangs clusters of smile about
him. In watching his favored career.
listening to his eulogy. she feels the
purest satisfaction. The cold grave
cannot crush her affection for him.
1t outlives her tears and sighs, and
hence she often wanders to the spot
where he reposes, with the fragrants
rosebush and cheeping honeysuckle,
and plant them OH his tomb. And
who will dare to affirm her love per,
ishes when she fades away from
earth? May it not live far off in the
glorious land-and on, increasing in
fervor and intensity, during the end
less ageszof eternity.

cribed as promising. Among the
better class of papers, such as the
Boston Advertiser, the disaster is left
at the door of the President, while

against the "cowardly'' policy of the

they teach? In the first place, the
potent lesson is that the Republican
party cannot successfully undertake
to approve and defend the errors of
its National Administration. The
Connecticut State Convention in its
nomination for Governor and in its
platform conspicuously assumed TO.
champion the Presidents action in
Louisiana last january. 1t treated
that blunder as o merit. and the is
sue Of the mistaken policy is appar-
ent. The party is weaker for that
foolish action. That the Republican
cause can be helped by an ostenta-
tious expression of unliminished
confidence in the President on the
grennd of his Southern policy, is now
an exploded idea. There will be no
more Of it outside the States where
there is an ignorant voting mass
completely under the domination of
politicians holding Office by favor of
the Administration. The name of
the President is not a potent rallying
cry East or West; and if there ever
was design on the part of anybody
to make him the Republican candi-
date for third term, the Connect
cut election is a significant warning
that it will not do to try it.

Gallatin Entmine1': There is con-

this in view of the fact that, last

the Department of Agriculture, 500
sheep were killed by dogs in Sumner

does lot represent the number by a
considerable per cent. Sumner coun-

pie. all as whom must be clothed in
wool. An old merchant is our au-
thority that it requires an average of

pie, st fifty cents per yard. This
estimste requires 250.OOO yards,
worth sl25. .OO0-jnst one-eighth of a

pay for the luxury OF dogs. II we

having no sheep. comparatively, we
must dig in the ground for that much
money to be sent off to sheep raising
States for woolen goods to keep our
backs warm. for the quantity manu-
faetured at home Is n mere song.
We mako no account of the value of
the sheep as food which. would still
further swell the "aog tax" At a
future time we will further elaborate
this idea. Strange inconsistency of
folks! We groan over the taxation
of a few thousands for State and
county purposes. and eheerfnlly pay

this place was delightful and through
magnificent country. Chicago is
great nation. had no idea of it's
immensely. They do business here
by steam and lightning. There are
no slow coaches. Everybody pushes
his business with a rush and drive,
and the motto is make or break. -
Philadelphia is beautiful city, but
tame compared with Chicago. How
ever. the Centennial business is a
great help to Philadelphia just now.
There are four thousand workmen
employed about the Centennial
grounds, and thousands of visitors
are pouring into that city every day
to see the buildings, and of course
that makes things lively. But Chi
cagO is lively all the time by reason
of its immense business and trade
The Mayor of Chicago took charge
of us on our arrival, and in company
with his Secretary, visited all the
places of interest in the city, the wa
ter works, Linden Park, House of
Correction, and many other points.
We have not had much time to do
the city, but have improved all allot-
ted us. Theodore Tilton will deliver
his celebrated lecture on the "Prob-
lem of Life" in Mccormick Hall to-
night. We leave at 5 O'Clock this af-
