POetical.
THAT NEW WORLD.

How gracious we are to grant to the dead
Those wide, vague fields IN the foreign SKY,
Rcscryng the world for ourselves instead;
For we must live, though others must die
And what Is the world that we keep, pray?
True, 1t Is gllmpses Of dows and flowers;
Then youth and love are here and away,
Like mated blrds-but nothing is ours.
Nh nothing indeed but we cling TO It all;
II Is nothing to hear ones own heart beat;
1t is nothing to see ones own tears fall;
Yet surely the breath Of our life Is sweet
Yes, the breath Of our life Is 80 sweet, fear
We are loath 70 give 1t for all we know
OF that charmed country we hold 50 dear,
Fnrinto whose beauty the breathlcss 90.
Yet certain we are when we sec them fade
out of the pleasant light Of the sun,
OF the sands Of gold in the palm leafs shade,
And the strange, high Jew els all these have woi
You dare not doubt 1t, o soul OF mine
And yet, II these vacant eyes could see
one, only one from that voyage divine,
with something, anything, sure for me-
All, blow me the scent Of one lily, to tell
That II grew outside Of the world, at most
Al, show me plume TO touch, or shell
That whispers Of some unearthly coast!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Apparently for want
of something to do the Senate is wasting great
deal Of time the oregon matter. 1t pretty well
understood the Democrats do not intend to attempt
profit by Gov. Growers trick but the topic affords
opportunity for discussing the whole subject Of the dis
puted Presidential election which number of Senators
are taking advantage OF.
Nobody has yet been found with partsauship enough
TO make him obuse TO the glaring political immortality
Of Gov. Growers action openly to defend It, except
Mr. Bogy OF Missouri. He began, like his colleagues
with apologies for the motives of the and has at
last after making nearly dozen speeches, worked him.
self into the belief that Gov Growers behavior was en-
tirely usthabe. The Missouri Senator has done the
most Of the Democratic talking the question, but all
that said has not been effective was the two
minutes speech Of Gen. Burnside to-day. The General
said that the action OF Gov Grover in handing the GER
ttcates Of the Republican electors to CrOnn, his pO
friend and their political enemy, and in making no
protest when Cronn refused TO deliver TO them their GER
tihcates enough to convince him that Grover was
upright honest man. He believed that Growers
name would be synonym for trickster in the future
politics Of the country,
In the Of the debate to-day Senator Eaton de-

to patrol the country with bodSes OF mounted men,

publIshed in TRIBUNE OF Dec. 10, an inaccuracy
crept in which, in justice to MI smyth aud his pred"-

companies had been made during Mr.. Chapmans term
On the contrary at least 30 such examinations were
made Mr.. smyth himself Deputy conducting several

LONDON, Wednesday, Dec 90 1876.
The following appeared in The lines money arti-

They indicate that the proposal meets witn consid-

Direct Cable shareholders In giving these extracts
it should be said that the opposition will require to
be very vigorous and we'll organized indeed # it is
to carry the day against the controllers # the
Globe Trust Company, who, acting together and
possessing power over a considerable amount oil the
Direct Cable Companys capital can practically defy
any loose, rambling attempt to beat them.

TO place 10 per of the income to s We fund, ana

two companies 1t is easy therefore 10 see that at tho
