THE WINGED FLOWER.
By LEE o. HARRIS.

The sunbeams, darling and dancing along,
kissing the tears of the night away,
Waking the woodlands TO beauty and song'
Crossed DER my path where the shadows lay.
Like molten gold
In ringlets rolle5,
They flooded the slope where the flowers
grew,
And down the dell
Like cataract fell,
Dividing and blending, and lost TO view.
Among the flowers there nestled one,
Brightest and fairest OF all that grew,
And blushed at the kiss of the amorous SUM-
Or incurred his absence in tears OF dew.
Fair to behold
Were its hues of gold,
AS, gracefully swaying, it rose and fell,
Cldenced in time,
Like perfect rhyme,
with the wandering breezes that swept the
dell.
Entranced by its LONELINESS, drew nigh
To grasp this f1oweret with eager hold,
When lol IL was only butterfly,
And noated of on its wings Of gold.
Drifted away
Where the sunshine lay,
And glanced for a moment within itslight,
Then, huttecing down
Through the shadows bro Tn,
Itvanished from my regretful sight.
turned to the flowers still lingering there,
All colorless seemed the brightest things.
sighed that the blossom TO me most fair,
Should have been the one endowed with
wings.
The glorious light
OF the sum- as bright
As first beheld 1t, about me lay
And flowers still
Adjoining the hill,
But the JOY OF 1t all had flown away.
There's flower, 1 sighed, that brightly
springs
And blooms, where the sunbeams glance
above
The path OF our lives; but oh 1t has wings
To soar away, and its name Is love.
Fair to behold
Do Its hues unfold;
But roughly grasp-and 1t chances by.
And, leaving its rest,
Is never possessed,
But mocks at pursuit like a butterfly.

THE OLD MILL.
BY ]. R EASTWOOD.

From CaEsell's Family Msgazine.l
One hundred years the mill has stood;
Que hundred years the dashing flood
Has turned the wheel with roaring sound
Through foaming waters, round and round
One hundred years, and overhead
The same broad roof of blue IA spread;
And in the meadows, bright and green,
The miller's children sill are SEEM.
And thus the world is still the same;
The sunset clouds are turned to flame;
And while we live, and when we die,
The lark still carols in the sky.
And others rise to fill our place;
We sleep, and others run the race;
And earth beneath and skies above
are still the same; and God is love.

The President nominated Samuel

It is semi-officially stated that Cen

at the Executive Mansion has ceased.
Clerk Newcomer, of the Bingham

bill, was found guilty.
Spencer Decker, II years old, is held

Mr.. Louis J. Jennings, late editor Of
the New York Times, has sold out his

There have been twenty-four vessels
chartered in New York to load grain for
European markets during the past week,
mostly for England. These vessels
have loaded altogether $500 quarters Of
grain, and 65S, 400 bushels. This guam

A report that Marsh, of New York,
testified before the committee on ex-

he paid Mrs. Belknap $4,000 for post

THE REOENT DISCLOSURES.

Fraud has recently trodden so closely
upon the heels Of fraud as to give an as
founded nation scarcely time to catch
its breath between the monstrous dis
closures that have travelled upon the
wings of lightning from the Atlantic to
the Pacific seaboard, and from the Lake
to the Gulf States.
But now it was the name of General
Babcock that was linked darkly with
whisky rings and connected with
whisky frauds, and the dispatches were
burdened with details of a farce called
by courtesy a trial; kilograms as am
biguous as mischievous offered in evil
dence of guilt were explained away upon
the flimsy pretext that their author was
in playful mood; the testimony of the
President and other high officials was
brought to bear in favor of the culprit;
quibbling and trickery did the rest, and
the accused was discharged from custody.
The echoes of discomfort have scarcely
died away, and again the people are
compelled to stand aghast as gigantic
frauds in the War Department are un-
earthed, and Secretary Belknap is ar
raigned before the tribunal of an out
ragged nation upon the charge Of such
corrupt practices in his official capacity
as should cause his name to be written
by that of Tweed on the roll of dishonor.
Think of cabinet minister's being inn
peached by the House of Representa-
tives for official corruption, made possi-
BILE and profitable through merchandise
of the social relations of his wife. Dis
gust and condemnation strive for the
mastery as we contemplate now the in
fanny and again the vulgarity of the
transaction. In voting without one dis
senting voice for the impeachment Oi
Belknap, the House of Representatives
have pursued the only wise course, in
deed, the only course that can save the
Republican party from disastrous rout.
Truly, the honest men of the Republi-
can party have need to be prompt in
visiting condign punishment upon those
who, clad in its livery and trusted by
it with the nations gold, have proved
recreant to the trust and sought only
personal aggrandizement. That this
last shameful disclosure may be finale
to shocking series of frauds, and that
just punishment may overtake all who
prey upon the financial life of the ma,
ton, let us devoutly hope.

To what sudden changes of feeling we
are subjected in this miscellaneous
rummage, to be sure. Here is long
letter, evidently written from a sense of
duty-the chirography cramped, the Or

blood-curdling. For example: "You"

A good wife and mother would look

we can't feel very badly with reference
to the first count in the above indict-
ment; for just as we are trying to work
up our philanthropy to the proper
point, the young men of the NEGLECTED
household" aforesaid come home from
school or office, showing no signs of MAJ
ternal neglect, but unmistakable signs
of ability to take care of themselves, so
noticeable in the children of strong
minded mothers. Pnter .fdnailia8 seems
as happy as though "peeple" were not
planning an appropriate "epitaf'' for
the tomb of his wife-in fact, we pre-
sumo that perverse gentleman expects
to have something to say about that
himself, lives long enough. Every
thing seems to go on as if everybody
minded his own business, and defrauded
pity sinks away to quarters where her
services will be better appreciated.

If Operator" the irate Canyonville
correspondent of the Oregonian, will
consult the NEW NORTHWEST of Febru-
ary 4, he will find that "R. IS" entire let
ter, which he characterizes as "tirade
of abuse a half-column in length" oc-
cupies but little more than half that
space, and that not more than half of
this contains anything at which even
an "Operator" to whom the dispatch
was sent could take personal affront.
Also that his defense of the truthfuluess
of the denizens of his village is little
premature, as ar" did not impeach
even "Operator'sn veracity-his valor
had not boiled over in misstatements
then. If we should take him as fair
exponent of the community he seeks,
prior to Indictment, to defend, we should
imagine it easy to sustain such charge.
This, however, we are too charitable to
do, and notwithstanding the opposite
views expressed by correspondents, we
presume that the renowned city of Can

rest of the world, by persons good, bad

ADVANCEMENT OF HARVARD,

1t is a curious fact that Harvard Uni
versity seems to be following in the
steps of the Boston schools, which first
admitted girls in summer, only when
there were fewer boys and therefore
more empty seats. The new Harvard
catalogue gives for the first time the
names of pupils in the "Summer Course
of Instruction" These include in chem
istry, 20 men and II women; in botany,
10 men and II women. The course in
chemistry is conducted at Boylston
Hall, Cambridge, the number being
limited to fifty. These are not mere
courses of lectures, but consist chiefly of
laboratory work. Most of the young
women who attended last year were
teachers, coming from various States.
The instruction given is certainly some
thing for which women should thank
Harvard University. 1t is really of
more value than the examinations for
women" which are also reported in the
catalogue. Under the head of these last
it is stated that two candidates passed
successfully the preliminary examiua-
tions this year, while three out of last
years four have now passed the ad-
vanceed examinations. One of these
passed in languages "with distinction" !"

The vim with which women take hold
of public duties when qualified to fill
them is shown in the following extract
from an address to the voters of Out
agamie county, Wisconsin, by Miss G..
NJ. Bailey, lady candidate for the Of
flee of school superintendent, prior to
the last election in that State. It also
shows that woman can do what man
cannot, run against candidate for Of
flee without vilifying him:
You will soon be called upon to vote for
county superintendent of schools. You have
before you two candidates for the office. OF Mr..
Flanagan have nothing to say. He has served
you in that capacity for the last two years, and
you know what are his merits and dement's
his ability and qualifications, to fill the posi-
ton. As for myself, 1 have received the nomi-
nation without any solicitation on my part. ]
have no intention of declining the nomination
nor, should be elected, of resigning, but shall
endeavor 10 discharge the duties of the Office in
a satisfactory manner. The argument has been
brought up that the severity of our winters
would prevent a lady from visiting the schools
in the remote towns. This has no weight what.
ever. If elected, 1 should visit the schools as
often as any superintendent has heretofore
and expect to devote all my time and interest
to the work. To many it may seem a novel
idea to elect lady as superintendent. In
twenty-three counties in Iowa, several in Ill.
nois, and, believe, five in this State there are
ladies filling this position, and discharging the
duties very successfully. again repeat that
shall not decline the nomination, and if the
people be pleased to elect me, can assure
them no inclemency of the weather would pre-.
vent me from attending to the duties of the

is doubly bitter when narrowed by in
justice and tyranny that refuses her en-
trance to the chamber over which, with
craven wing incumbent" the Death
Angel hovers. Instinctively we feel
that in the presence of sorrow such as
this, stereotyped phrase of coincidence is
but mockery; so, while gentle pity
drops tear in assurance of sympathy,
we pass on.
A card from friend of former days
a tried friend and true, who, during
lonely years of struggle, was ever ready

time" after US and ours, and, with as
near the shadow of reproach as she
ever comes, says: "I have ceased to ex-
pect visit from you." We will say to
this, that events occur usually when
least expected, and warn our friend not
to be too much surprised if we surprise
her on some fine morning in April.
Heigh-ho Another card, and signed
by the sheriff of an adjoining county.
In doubt as to whether circumstances
will warrant US in feeling honored or
frightened, we give it hasty glance,
and find our attention called to the fact
that our taxes in his jurisdiction amount
to certain sum, the same being now
due. Now, we don't feel honored; be-
cause this thing of being treated as a
citizen of this commonwealth by the
tax-collector, and as an idiot In the
matter and on the occasion of his
election, discriminates in way not
calculated to fiatter one, to say the
least. Nor are we particularly fright
ened; for we don't intend to pay that
tax.
Our feelings being relieved by
this emphatic declaration, we proceed
with restored equinimity to read a
smooth, placid little missive from Sum-
uer City, the cheerful little matron who
indites it being evidently at peace with
herself and all the world; and why in
deed should she not be, as she babbles
in pretty, girlish way of her house
plants and her children, her husband
