WELCOME TO THE NATIONS.

Welcome, thousand welcomes! Our emotion
Demands speech we have not It demands
The unutterable largcneSs Of the ocean,
The lmmeasurable broadness Of the lands
That owns us masters. Who is he shall speak
This language for us from what mountain peak7
And In the rhythms OF what epic song,
At once serene and strong7
welcomes, ten thousand welcomes! II is much,
sisters ye have done In coming here;
For from the hour ye touch
Our peaceful Shores ye are peaceful, eaual. dear
Not with exutatlons,
Sister, Mother nations!
DO we receive your coming; for more than many sec
Comes with ye; do ye see 1t? 1t Is what is to be
Some day among your myriads, who viii no more
obey;
But, peaceabe or warning, win then find out the
way
Themselves to govern II they tolerate
Kaisers, and Kings, and Princengs, as o-day,
IL VIII be because they pity and too good To hate
The New World Is teaching the Old World to be
free:
This, her acknowledgment from these, is more
Than all that went before
Henceforth, America Man looks up to thee,
Not down at the dead Republlcs RISE arise!
That all men may behold thee. BE not proud ;
Be humble and be wise:
And let thy head be bowed
To the Unknown, Supreme one, who on high
Has willed thee not to die!
BE grateful, watchful, brave;
See that among thy children none shall plunder,
Nor rend asunder-
Swift to detect and punish and strong to shield md
save
Shall the drums beat trumpets sound,
And the cannon thunder round?
No, these are warlike noises, and must cease;
Not thus, while the whole world from battle rests,
The Commonwealth receives her honored guests
She celebrates no trlumphs but Of Peace.

The Prompt Juror.

The Augusta, Ca, C0nstitutionalist says
owe heard his Honor, Judge Gibson, on
Tuesday, tell an amusing story Of the way a
juror went for a conviction. He says he
was trying a murder case few years
ago down in one of the wire-grass counties,
and experienced great difficulty in getting
jury that eleven jurors had been sworn in,
and in the next panel that was brought in
was small, lean, lank, cadaverous-looking
fellow who had on one shoe, his pants were
nearly above his knees, his shirt open both
back and front, and the aforesaid trousers
were held up by single suspender. The
solicitor proceeded to ask the usual ques-
tions in such cases as follows:
"Have you, from having seen the crime:
committed, or heard of any of the testimo-
ny delivered under oath. formed and ex-
pressed any opinion ss to the guilt or inno-
cence of the prisoner at the BARI"
The "single gallus" fellow, in clear and
distinct voice, answered "Not any"
Second question-"Have you any preju-
dice or bias resting on your mind for or
against the prisoner at the barr"
Answer-"I hain't."
Third question--"Is your mind perfectly
impartial between the State and the accus-
ed?"
Answer-"Hit are"
Fourth question-"Are you conscientious
ly opposed to capital punishment" ?"
Answer-'I isn't"
The State did not like the juror much, but
it being late and jurors scarce, he was put
upon the stand to look at the prisoner in
the usual manner, the solicitor saying ::
"Juror look upon the prisoner" The juror
looked the prisoner firmly in the face, and
then turning to the Judge, said in firm,
solemn voice: eyes, Judge, think he is
yn;lty "

A Trip With a Wheel-barr0w.
ROLLING SPECIMENS FOR THE CESTENNI.

ROLLING SPECIMENS FOR THE CENTENNIAL,
400 MILES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
One afternoon about five O'Clock man
and boy apparently worn with travel, and
certainly bronzed by the sun and begrimed
with the dust of the road, were seen trudg-
ing in West King, the man holding the han
dies of an oddly constructed and handsome
ly painted wheelbarrow and the boy walking
by his side. The man proved to be Mr.. J.
G. Temple, of the town of Joplin, Jasper
county, Missouri, the boy being his son Otto,
aged l3 years. He said that ne left Joplin
on the 2Sth of February, accompanied by
his son Otto, and an Englishman named
Wilson. Some time last winter he made
proposition that if the Oronogo and Joplin
Mining Company, Of Jasper county would
Civ. him fifty pounds of neurological spec.
linens from their mines, lie would wheel
them on wheelbarrow all the way to the
Centennial. Some beautiful specimens OF
ore were brought to him and he constructed
wheelbarrow that would be particularly
suitable for so long journey. The entire
weight of the barrow, baggage, and speci-
mems of minerals is one hundred and ffy
pounds, and the cost of the entire outfit was
Sl25. The mineral: are specimens of zinc,
lead, blackjack, spar and garnet, all from
Oronogo and Joplin, Missouri mines.
Mr.. Temple and his son have travelled
more than l,40O miles. They have made as
high as 27 miles, though they frequently
stopped off at convenient points to recuper-
ate, at one place resting as long as five days
They camped out 81 nights, but generally
they were furnished with good lodging and
Hospitality entertain ed along the route.

MORBID IMPULsE.-But one of the most
singular things exists in the case of young
man who not long ago visited a large iron
mandatory, lie stood opposite 4 huge
hammer and watched with great interest it's
perfectly regular strokes. AT first it WAS
beating immense Jumps of crimson metal in
to thin, black sheets, but the supply be-
coming exhausted, at last it only descended
on the polished anvil. Still the young man
gazed intently on its motion then he fol-
lowed its stroke with a corresponding motion
of his head then his left arm moved to the
same tune and finally he deliberately plac-
ed his fist upon the anvil, and in second il
was smitten to jelly, The only explana-
tiOn he could afford was that he felt an i'm
pulse to do it, ard that he knew he should
be disabled; that he saw the consequence in
a misty kind Of manner but that he still
felt power within, above sense and reason
"A morbid impulse, in fact, to which he
succumbed, and by which he lost a good
right hand. This incident suggests many
things besides proving the peculiar nature
and power of morbid impulses; such things.
for instance, as a law of sympathy on a scale
hitherto undreamt of, as we'll as musical
tune pervading all things. - ChamJer's Jour,

A few days since a lady of that city, with
her child, entered a Beacon street car, and
mentioned TO the conductor that she desired
to get out near Arlington street. No doubt
astonished at the variety of cars, and the
many directions from which they came and
went, seemingly without regularity, she in
nocently but politely remarked To the con-
ductor as he landed her, "Pm very much

a TRADITION OF SARATOGA LAKE.
There is an Indian superstition attached to
this lake which probably had its source In
its remarkable Loneliness AID tranquility.
The Mohawks believed that its stiffness was
sacred to the Great Spirit, and that if hu-
man voice uttered Il sound upon its waters,
the canoe of the offender would instantly
sink. story is told of an Englshwoman,
in the early days of the first settlers, who
had occasion tn cross this lake with party
of Indians, who, before embarking, warned
her most impressvely of the spell. 1t was
silent, breatnless day, and the canoe shot
over the surface of the lake like an arrow.
About half mile from the Shore near the
centre of the lake, the woman, wishing to
convince the Indians of the erroneousness of
their superstition, uttered loud cry. The
countenances of the Indians fell instantly to
the deepest gloom. After a minutes pause,
however, they redOuhltd their exertions and
in frow ming silence drove the light bark
swiftly over the waters They reached the
shore in safety, and drew up the canoe,
when the woman rallied the chief on his
credulity. "rhe Great Spirit is mereiiul, :"
answered the scurnhl Mohawk "he knows
that awhile woman cannot hold her toDguel"

and who seems TO be anxious to gain some
notoriety to himself in this matter, delivered
an in6ammatory harangue endeavoring to
persuade the workmsn to extreme measures
unless their demands were complied with
At the close of his speech the audience showed
their appreciation of it by calling on negro

spoke mass of incoherent stuff without any
sense in it much to the amusement of the
listeners. The meeting was very noisy and
