right in putting Il down, to work with

eleven years since the war was closed,

the Government in the hands Of those

To the Editor Of the Telegraph.

The Comments of the TELEGRAPH
upon DR.. Everhart's Communication q
few weeks ago served unfortunately to
check contributions for the protection
of the lake shore. Those living near
the lake shore are unwilling TO have
money imperiled by placing the same at
the disposal of those whom the Telegraph
charges more or less directlyas incompe-
tent men.
Dr. Everhart in his Communication
may have designed to argue for the
public interest and 1t would perhaps not
be proper to say that he should be con-
trasted with those who put in straw bids
for mail contracts and are wiling to
profit at the expenses of the public. A
pier at right angles with the shore DR..
Everhart may imagine will work adverse
IL to property n Pleasant Prairie and
if so let that town follow the example Of
this CITY and protect it's shore.
The officers of this city have no bust
ness beyond the limits of the Corporation,
they cannot reasonably be required to
consider what influence breakwater
extended into the lake will have upon
Pleasant Prairie, Waukegan or Chicago.
The experiences OF quarter Of q
Century has demonstrated the utter
inability of short piers extending into
the lake to protect the shore, and it is
surprising that any one who pretends to
be we'll posted should advocate them.
Short piers ere like fair weather sailors;
except at the most important
moment. Short piers with pile work on
he south side would be costly and
1nserviceable elephant and would be
about as expensive as close pillng the
entire distance.
The harbor Committee have decided to
build long pier extending into the lake,
,ow what is Pleasant Prairie going to
do about it. L.. q.

in the very midst of Dog-town-and as these
animals share their habitations with Owls
and Rattlesnakes, we thought we had chosen
rather unpleasant neighbors-but as the owls are
harmless, and the snakes sleep at night like good
Christians, we came to the conclusion that we had
not encountered much danger. Getting under
way as soon as possible, we drove 16 miles and
stopped at 10 A. NJ. at st. Charles Rancho and
cooked breakfast. This being our last meal on
the road, we tried to eat up all our provisions,
but we lamentably failed, and were obliged to
sell several dollars worth at half price to our

WASHINGTON TO HIS WIFE.

The only letter extant of Wash
ington to his wife is an epistle of
unusual interest, both on account of
its subject and date, 1t was written
June Is, 1775, and is as follows:
'sMY DEAREST am now set
down to write to you on subject
which fills me with inexpressible
concern, and this concern is greatly
aggravated and increased when [ re-
fleet upon the uneasiness | know it
will give you. 1t has been deter
mined in Congress that the whole
army raised for the defense Of the
American cause shall be put under
my care, and that it is necessary for
me to proceed Immediately to Boston
to take upon me the command of it.
You may believe me, my dear
Patsy, when assure you, in the
most solemn manner, that, so far
from seeking this appointment, I
have used every endeayor IN my
power to avoid it-not only from
my unwillingness to part with you
and the family, but from conscious
ness of its being trust too great for
my capacity and that should enjoy
more real happiness IN one month |
with you at home than | have the
most distant prospect Of finding
abroad, if my stay were to be seven
times seven years. But as it has,

THE EMPTY PLACE.

Bright faces come and go, fair shapes
Dance up and down the wall;
presence in the crowded room,
Takes precedence of all.
We see it night and day howe'er
BY sign or shadow crOst,-
A little vacant spot, wherefrom
One little face is lost.
The sound Of music swells and fails,
And laughter fills cur ears
A silence hallowed out of life,
Is all our spirit hears.
That silence, like hush of prayer.
Can drown the loudeet speech,
And, piercing sharp through laugh and song,
Our inmost sense can reach.
No thunder of the outer world,
No burning rage of pain,
No passion-storms of love or grief
That beat on heart or brain,
Beat down with such constraining strength
The vital forces there,
Az that dull, soundees ache of loss
Which lonely mourners bear.
0 little garments in the drawer,
With such precision spread!
o little chair against the wall
o little cradle bed,
Uncurtained, in the silent room,
And pillowless and colal
OmOther's arms and tender hands,
That have no babe to hold
We know full well the worth and wealth
Of which we-sre bereft;
But where are words wherewith TO tell
The emptiness that's left!-
Wherewith to span that shoreleSs void,
Sound its unfatbomed deeps,
And picture to the common sense
The sacred thing it keeps.
