Age says; The Wabash railway is now
in the pool and on November 4th, the
Hannibal & st. Joseph, the only remaining
link, will pass under the control of Gould
and Dillon, which completes the pool line.
The strife for mastery of the Hannibal &
St. Joseph has been q long and bitter one.
Mr.. Nelson, of New York, when President
in 1875, favored this combination !, but
John p. .Acker, B.. F. Carver, and Joseph
Wilson outgeneraled him, and, by forcing
the stock down to 15s, froze him out. Last

POETRY
THE HOME CONCERT.

Well, Tom, my boy, l must say goodbye.
I've had wonderful visit here;
Enjoyed 1t, too, as well as could
Away from all that my heart holds dear.
Maybe I've beena triie rough
little awkward, your wife would say
And very likely I've missed the hint
OF your city polish day by day.
But somehow, Tom, though the same old roof.
Sheltered rs both when we were boys
And the same dear mother-lovc watched us both
Sharing our childish griefs and joys,
1etyou are almost stranger now:
our ways and mine are as far apart,
AS though we lad never thrown an arm
About each other with loving heart.
Yonr city home is palace, Tom;
Yonr wife and children are fair to see:
You couldn't breathe in the little cot
The little home that belongs to me.
And am lost in your grand large house.
And daZcd with the wealth on every side
And hardly know my brother, Tom,
In the midst of so much stately yride.
Yes, the concert was grand last night
The singing splendid: but, do you know,
My heart kept longing, the evening through,
For another concer, so sweet and low
That maybe it wouldn't please the car
OF one SO cultured and grand as you;
But to its music-langh if you will
Ny heart and thoughts must ever be true,
shut my eyes in the hall last night
(For the clash of the music wearied me
And close 10 my heart this vision came
The same sweet picture ! always see:
In the vine-cad porch of cottage home,
Halt in shadow and half in sun,
Another chanting her lu'Iaby,
Rocking to rest her little one
And soft and sweet as the music fell
From the mothers lips, heard the COO
Of my baby girl, as with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with " Goo-a-goo"
Together they sang, the mother and babe,
My wife and child. by the cottage door,
All that is the concert, brother Tom,
My ears are aching to hear once more.
so now goodbye. And wish you well,
And many year of wealth and gain.
You were born to be rich and gay;
am content to be poor and plain.
And go back to my country home
With love that absence has strengthened toe
Back to the concert all my own
Mothers singing and babys COO.

A Fatal Chamber.

In hotel of the QUARTER Latin, Paris. {
love-sick student, ten years ago, blew his
brains out. The following year a medical
student who failed to pass examination, did
the same. The landlord, in alarm, declared
that no one should sleepi in the room again,
and made it storing place for furniture.
One morning waiter in the house, being
accused of a trifipg theft, mounted to the
room and hanged himself This led the
landlord to relinquish the building. His
successor was unfortunate, and soon svld
out, and it fell into the hands of 1; drug
glst. The new tenant heard the story of
the fatal chamber with indifference, but
upon his wife it made great impression.
She Stunned it to the extent of passing
most of her time in the chamber most dis
tant from it. The druggist finally found
that this chosen sanctuary of refuge was
the room of the head clerk. In fit Of
jealousy he swallowed poison and mounted
to the fatal chamber to die. The last sui
eide excited the neighborhood, and the
owner of the hotel was requested to wall
up the door Of the room. Heonly laughed.
The neighborhood was very angry, but it's
ire was appeased on the announcement that
the building was to be demolished, in order
to make way for continuation of the
Faubourg St. German. The proprietor de-
manded quarter of million francs from
the city, but the assessor allowed him only
ninety thousand. The proprietor fell sick
with disappointment, and during GONZALES
eenee, he desired to take last look at the
which was to fall on the follow
ing day. When the workmen arrived to
begin the work of demolition the fatal
chamber had a new tenant. The prcprie-
tors body was found hanging there.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-03-20

In obedience to request from six mem
bers of the body, President Bussey called a
| special meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce Saturday night.
The Secretary being absent, on motion of
| W. G. Black, Esq, MIR. L. Fl. Joseph WAS
elected secretary pro tenn.
General Bussey stated that the object of
| the call was an eminently proper one. The
| organization and objects of the chamber
| being exclusively commercial, it was within
| its purpose to approve or disapprove of any
national action that affected the interests of
New Orleans. He also stated that seri es
| of resolutions had been circulating during
the day, and the fact that nearly every
member of the chamber had signed them
| probably accounted for the few members
| attending.
He appointed Mesers. Kennard, Bowling
and Miller committee, and after short
time the following resolutions were pre-
sented and read by Mr.. Kennard
| WHEREAS, The Chamber of Commerce of
New Orleans, though non political body,
was organized for the promotion of the
| commercial interests of this city, and is in
| duty bound to approve or disapprove meas
ures of government beneficial or injurious
to the city's interests; therefore, be it
| RESOLVED, /. That the inaugural address of
President Hayes gives earnest of policy of
| paclfcation of the whole country, vital to
| commercial prospects, in the execution of
which we pledge our cordial support.
,. That the recognition of the principles
| of local selfgovernment contained in the
inaugural address, is alike the basis of
American liberties and commercial pros
poets.
3. That the rehabilitation of the material
| interests OF the South, through judicious
national aid, is a matter in our present i'm
pOverished condition of prime importance,
and the liberal views on this question of the
President elect inspire our people with new
hope for the future of our State and country.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
President Bussey then detailed some of
his experiences in Washington, including
| the failure of the efforts to obtain appro.
priatiOns for the levee and Brazilian mail
service in consequence of Democratic op-
| position. He showed that ut the failure of
the House to agree on a committee of con-
| ference Senator BOgy was unable to induce
single Democratic Senator to become
chairman of a new committee, all giving as
reason that the party principle was OPP
posed to such appropriations. He had,
however, hopes for the future, especially in
President Hayes.
Except the laying on the table COM
munication asking for Endorsement of the
Chamber for Federal appointment for an
ex-senator of Louisiana, no other business
was done, and the Chamber adjourned.
