nIC.lNGUN~ON JIM BLAINE.

A President Of the Union sat in his great arm
chair:
There was lack Of honest purpose. there was
dearth of dealings fair.
And Williams stood beside him on nomination
day,
to say.
The lying soldier suffered as he looked up very
bland
happy land.
Send message. dear friend Williams. to those
members not insane.
To vote against one Jimmy-one Jimmy Blaine,
OF Maine
Tell my benshmen and appontees when they
meet tis but joke.
It's naught but policy In him. he never had son-
stroke:
But be fought against those letters. till he found
1t was no fun:
Twas MulIigan who made him sick, and not the
bless ed sun.
That midst his brains wild tumult he can count
his votes no more.
His railroad bonds and other frauds let them
now bring before
The convention: for this knowing it will not
cause them pain
To vote against poor Jimmy. poor Jimmy Blaine,
OF Maine.
There's another; oh. not Bristow, but knave
both cute and sly;
I would rather have dear Conkling, but IL they
cannot.try
One dear Morton thonest fellow. his bloody
shirt adofning:
Oh friend hope that Blaine will lose before
tomorrow morning.
Tell the members. Of dear Conklins. IL the nom
nations hs'u,
I'll pardon all their crooked friends and lei
them out Of prison;
But the wires flashed back quickly and told the
story plain.
Not ConkIine-but one X. b. Hayes had beaten
Jimmy Blaine
His voice grew thick and clarnmy. he grasped my
shoulder quick;
His eyes put on stupid look. he sighed I'm
awful sick.
His comrade stopped to raise him. just from
whore he'd sunk.
The President of the Union in his mansion lay
dead drunk,
While his eyelids slowly opened, in my face he
then looked up.
AS he said, MY friend, dear Williams just one
more little sup"
And he calmly poured the Bourbon down, while
sleep he tried to feign.
But he nurmured, Hayes has beaten this
Jimmy Blaine. of Maine"

An Unnatural Father.

One of the most unnstural crimes that we
have for some time chronicled, was recent
ly committed in Brandon. George WASH
jngton Jones was taken before Alonzo s.
Cook, justice of the peace, Saturday,
charged with numbering, on March goth,
the female infant of his daughter, girl OF
fifteen. He was committed to Jail without
bail to await the action Of the grand jury
at the September term Of court, and was
incarcerated Saturday evening by Deputy
Sheriff A. Warren Goss of Brandon. Jones
was imprisoned in the fall of 1874 for
cruelty to his children, to await the action
of the grand jury, but no Indictment being
found he was discharged.

The Winter in Illinois.

A private letter from Illinois says We
have had mud, rain, snow, and snow, rain,
mud, dished up in all quantities and at all
times, day or night, since the advent of
March. February was summer weather,
and just as everything was ready to be in
full bloom in two days more, along came
winter, mercury down to almost zero, then
one or two fine days, and then down she goes
again. You seldom have more disagree
able day in Vermont than yesterday March
GOTH was.here. There was perfect gale al
night, and on Monday the ground was white
with snow, and the trees coated with ice
evergreens bent and twisted to the ground
and the wind still blowing gale the all
full of snow and seet.
The fruit trees are literally loaded with
buds, and had 1t not been for the recent
storms, we should have cleared thousand
dollars on fruit and this is on par with the
luck manifested mostly at this ranch.

The Mckee and Babcock Cases.

ST. LOUIS, April y.
A motion for the arrest of judgment in
the case of Mckee was argued Saturday in
the United States circuit court, on the
ground that the circuit court had not the
jurisdiction of the case, the original indict-
ment never having been RENTED thereto.
Judge Dillon informed the defendants
counsel that the motion should be to dis,
miss and his motion was modified accord
ing to the suggestion of the court.
The same principle underlies Babcock's
case, and if the motion should prevail it
will vitate the proceedings and Babcock
may have to stand new trial. If over
ruled the case may be brought to the Uni
ted States supreme court which will in
definitely postpone the final action.
A petition has been put in circulation to
the president to pardon Constantine
Mcguire, sentenced Saturday. A project
is on foot to raise subscription to pay his

THE BRECHER BUSINESS.

New YORK, April o.
Soon after the adjournment of the advi-
sorry council, Rev. Dr. Bacon appealed to
Prof. Smyth and the committee of Ando-
yer church to assume the responsibility of
presenting charges against Mr.. Beecher and
maintaining them before the investigating
commission. Prof. Smyth, in reply to Ba-
cons appeal, has written long letter, in
which he explains why in his judgment
the Andover church cannot take this STEP
He holds that the commission in its origin,
authorship and proposed constitution fails
to meet the judicial requirements of the
case, and he has ascertained that several
important witnesses will not testify before
that body, although they are willing to go
before the mutual council called by Ands-
yer aud Plymouth churches. He therefore
falls back upon the Andover letter as offer
ing the only basis of thorough investiga-
ton OF the schedule. His position is the
