CENTENNIAL POEM.
A Contribution from Mr.. Punch.

IN THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICA,
INDEPENDENCE.
I'VE have to confess that England is old and tn,
United States young. n-Tames
Punch sees no harm in that confession.
Age is thing comparative:
In history's immense procession
Some realms than others longer live.
What diagnosis marks the time
When any state is in its primer
America, is young no doubt.
And keeps her hundredth birthday merrily;
Her cannon roar, her speakers spout
Her toasts and sentiments ring cheerily:
And how tall talk in fyttes has flowed
In Bayard Taylor's long drawn ode!
Hail we the Democratic Maid
Self-crowned with Freedoms deathlcas laurel
Nor her large Liberty upbraid,
Because its winning cost quarrel.
Prosperity aud social health
To the colossal Commonwealth.
Yet is old England quite so old
AS the Chronologer maintains,
Whose oldest noblest blood is rolled
Through the wide Unions truthful veins?
In all things good beneath the sun
John Bull and Johnathan are one.
Long centuries of stately life ..
Are Englands birthday gift to her;
Columbia's youth with Mgor rife,
Is felt in England's heart astr.
In Young Amer iea's Centennial
Old England feels herself perennial.

How New Hampshire was Reformed
From the New York Nation, July 9th.

From the New York Nation, July 9th.
The New Hampshire Legislature adj
joured last week after q session of unusual
length, a very large portion of which was
devoted with great steadfastness to the
work of civil service reform. The reform
was carried through by the Republicans,
who, of course, were steadily opposed by
the wicked Democrats, and not small part
of the unusual length of tie session must
be ascribed to the resistance made by these
evil-minded INSTRUCTORS to the work of the
single-minded majority. Upon one occa-
sion, indeed, the flibustering of the cruel
emocrats-initiated to stave off action
upon special reform bill, that applying to
ono of the counties-kept the perspiring
Republicans i'll their seats throughout the
watches of one of the hottest nights of the
heated period, and not until long after sun
rise did the Democrats finally "cave" and
allow victory to perch upon the weary
heads of the New Hampshire Republicans.
The reform measures passed were extreme
ly simple and thorough. They were chief
ly in the form Of an "address - to the Gov
ernor and Council directing the removal OF
all the Democratic officials of say Rocking
ham county-judge of probate, register of
probate, solicitor, sheriff, etc. When one
county had been thus purified, another
county would be taken up in regular order,
until all the county officers, nearly seventy
five in number, were disposed of. Then
the police justices of the various towns
were attended to; then the State officers,
high and low, even to the three Fish Com
missioners; until, finally, when the hard
listed farmers of New Hampshire went
home to their neglected haying, they went
with the proud consciousness that not q
single miserable Democrat remained in Of
flee within the boundaries of their redeem
ed State. The exceeding thoroughness of
the work must be peculiarly gratifying to
Messrs. Chandler and Cornell, and New
Hampshire may be put down as sure for
Hayes and Wheeler and civil service re-
form. We should perhaps add that the
New Hampshire Republicans do not lay
claim to any originality of method in the
passage of these very satisfactory meas
ures, but state that they keep closely to
Democrats precedent, as furnished by that
party when in power in 1S74-all of which,
as we can testify, is strictly true.

Centennial Record of Hot Weather in New
England.

The present broiling weather makes in-
teresting retrospective glance over the hot
weather our ancestors had to stand. Mr..
J. A. Wheelock, of Hartford, contributes a
record of the hottest days in each year fol
the past century, in which it is noted that
the heat of the centennial year is not with
out a parallel. In 1776 the walmest day
for the British was July 4th, but the 18th
of August was the warmest day for Con-
necticut- thermometer 1929 in the shade.
Other days of extreme heat were-July 2,
1880, 11Oo August A, 1891, 1850; August
10, 1893, 1880. From this time no very
warm weather was noted until 1888, July
4th, 1910. In 1s46, the 10th of July show
ed 110o, and the same date in 1867, 1000.
The warmest days in the last ten years
were: 1866, August 4, 1900; 1867, July 10,
1890; 1868, July Z, 1860; 1869, August 4,
1O4o. 1870, July II, 1860; 1871, May 80,
$50; 1872, July 4, 1860; 1873, August 8,
1920; 1874, August 10, 1910; 1875, July 6,
1862; 1876, July 8, 1920. Several cool years
are noted, in which the temperature did not
rise above 1000, the hottest days being
1852, August II, $50; 1901, August A, 96o;
1911, August II, $50; 1916, August 10, 92o
1s1s,,August 25, $50; 1885, August 10, 96o
1853, May 30, 900; 1856, August 6, $50;
1871, May 80, $50. It will be seen that the
hottest day during the last century occurred
August 4, 1891, when the mercury stood at
115o in the shade. The coolest summer
was that of 1916, when the mercury rose
only to 92o in the shade a cool, wet sum-
mer, with frost every month during the
year in the Northern States. During the
last one hundred years the highest point Of
mercury occurred only three times in the
month of May, and the balance in July and
August. Hartford Post.

CLUSTERS LAST CHARGE.
By LEAvITT HUN

By LEAvITT HUNT.
In yon ravine with teeming life,
Two thousand lodges rise;
The Sioux in camp. but ever rife,
The warpath watch, with gun and knife
Well armed against surprise.
But now our comrades strike the trail.
Hail! small devoted band
Three hundred of the seventh. hail!
Who ever knew charge to fail
With Custer in command :?
Dare Custer charge the savage lair
Where duty means to die?
Gives answer quick the trumpet's blare
That sounds his last command in air;
q In column--charge- by company"
Whom summons this last bugle call
To charge the deadly pace?
His brothers, kinsmen, doomed TO fall.
They number 1ve, but they are all
Akin to Clusters race.
:. Let fall the rein, the chargers dash
Like tigers in den.
Barred in, they fall meath rife crash,
But falling deal the deadly CASH
They are but one to ten.
At eve all lay, by Death enrolled,
In CHASTITY bivouac.
Alone Death stalked, the story told
OF men of more than Spartan mold,
That column of attack.
The sun sunk down deep-dyed in blood.
When lola phantom shade
Of kindred spirits capped with mood
In battle-line, to greet them, stood
The deathless light brigade.
In low salute their colors dip,
As Custer moves before;
Their sabres sink in veteran grip,
One CLEAN Hlumines every tip.
To comrades as of yore.
They wheel in rear, with pennon lance,
An escort, man for man.
Their champing chargers proudly prance,
Through arch of glory they advance,
And Custer leads the van.

POETRY.
IN THE NEST.


Gather them close to your loYing heart
Cradle them on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding core,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair,
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run;
There may come time in the bye and bye
When yon'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound of childish fun;
When you'lllong for a repetition sweet,
That sounded through each room.
Of Mother!'" " Mother |" the dear love calls
That Will echo long in the silent halls,
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'lllong to hear
The eager, boyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear, shrill shout,
The busy hustle in and ont,
And pattering overhead
When the boys and girls are all grown up
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore
Where youth and age come nevermore,
You will miss them from your side
Then gather them close TO your loving heart
Cradle them on your breast,
They will soon enough leave your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest,

The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-01-21

These results clearly establish the
fact that the sedimentary matters are
carried in suspension by the river, and
that the quantity carried has direct re-
lation to the velocity OF the current and
that these matters are not pushed along
the bed OF the river Us has been repeat
eddy and emphatically asserted by the
opponents OF the jetty system.
III this were the case, the current
which to-day is certainly flowing one
and u half miles an hour faster over the
crest of the bar than 1t did before the
construction Of these works, would have
the effect Of pushing the material OIL
the crest or highest part Of the bar first,
and of depositing 1t In the still salt
waters of the Gulf, which it was asserted
formed "a dead angle" on the outer
slope Of the bar below the river dis
charge.
If this pushing theory were correct,
the crest of the bar would have been
pushed off by the effect OF the jetties,
and would be found forming another
bar i'm advance of them, and thus the
necessity of continually prolonging the
jctties, SO confidently predicted, would
be undeniably proven.
But the fact is that the outer slope OF
the bar has been very materially deep
ened by the tidal action, although it is
only partially controlled by the uncom-
pleted works which extend beyond the
crest, and we have no evidence OF any
deposit whatever Immediately in ad-
vance Of the jetties.
The concentrated and accelerated out
flow Of the river maintains It's suspend
ed load to greater distances in the Gulf
than ever before, and the prevailing
westerly sea current, which Is induced
by the prevalent winds, bears these
river waters thus laden westwardly, and
into deeper water and entirely away
from in front Of the ietties.
The works at the head Of the Pass are
being pushed rapidly, and in the last
month 1900 feet of foundation mattress
have been laid along the length Of the
dyke. The dyke extends 5000 feet up
the river between the entrances to South
Pass and Pass-a-l'Outre.
