WASHINGTON, October 26.-Geuerai w.
L. Calwailsder. acting Secretary of State,
wrote Messrs. Power and Parnel], bearers
of the Irish address, that it was customary
to make such presentation through the min
ister Of the country. A copy being sent
Sir Edward Thornton he declined TO par
tlcipate, not having received Instructions
from his government on the subject, and
also that the contents of the address itself
were Objectionable.
Mr.. Cadwailader, under the circum-
stances, regrets his inability to assist them
in the matter. The objection raised by
Power and Parnell was that the interven-
ton of the British minister was not neceS-
sary, a. the address was from the Irish peo-
pie, and not from the British nation.
Hints regarding the correspondence on
the Irish address were furniehed by the
bearers of the address. The State Depart.
ment is silent on both topics.

There is little prospect at present of the
publication of the correspondence regard

The Texas Assassin.

Of all the human race he is, perha pc, the
lowest, the most degraded, and the most
criminal. The burglar or the thief take
only goods and clothes that may be re-
stored again; the scandslist and calumni.
ator can tarnish only reputation, which
may be restored; the arsonist and incen-
diary burns down and destroys habltatione
that may be rebuilt and the loss Cancelled
and forgotten, but the Texas assassin takes
that when once destroyed, can never be re-
placed or rest0red-a human life. The
highway robber, though at war with human
lave, still claims some sympathy: but the
murderer who has shed human blood has
put himself outside its pale.
The Texas assassin is the very lowest of
the vile, and the very personifcation of all
that is brutal, cowardly and God-f0rsaken.
In nine cases out of ten he ia . thorough
coward, morally and physically-a degrad.
ed and vile wretch, who dares not attack
his victim but at an advantage; q sneaking
and cowardly villain, who can not, like the
lion, face his enemy, but hsunts his tracks
with the despicsble stealth of the prowling
hyena.
The Texas murderer is the most grace.
less, brutal and bestial of all cowardly and
atrociOus sc0undrels. Wearing the mark
of Cain, he should, like Cain, be Kissed and
driven from society which he has polluted,
and be sent forth whitening beneath the
sCorn of ell good men. He is villain who
has forfeited the respect or the protection
of bis fellow men; Q scoundrel whom, ac.
cOrding to the dictates of that higher law
which reiRns in the bosoms OF us all, 1t ia
just and right to slay, even % others he has
slain.-Houstos Age.

The River Time.

o. wonderful stream is tho River Time,
As it runs through the realm Of tears,
With a fautless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and n surge sublime,
AS it blends with the ocean Of years
How the winters are drifting, like flakes Of snow
And tho summer-like buds between
And tho year in tho sheaf-so they como and the
go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and its flow
As it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River Time
Who're the soitest of airs arc playing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Juncs with its roses are staying.
And tho name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There arc brows of beauty, and bosoms Of snow
They are heaps of dust-but we loved them So
There are trinkets, and tresses Of hair.
There fragments of song, that nobody sings,
And parts Of an infants prayer;
There's n Lutte unswept,a and harp without strings
There are broken VOWS, and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There arc hands that are waved, whom tho fair,
shore
by tho mirage ia lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear, through tho turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in tho days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
O. remembered for aye bo tho blessed isle.
All the day of our life till night;
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May the heavenly shore be in sight
