THE THREE KIN GS.
RI HENRY W. LoNaFELLow.

Three Kings came riding from Far away,
melchoir and Gaspar and Balta2ar:
Three wise men out of the East wero they,
And they travelled by night and they slept by day,
For their guide was beautiful, wonderful star
The star was so beautiful, large and clear,
That all the Other Btars of the sky
Became a white mist in the atmosphere,
And the wise men knew that the coming was near
Of the Prince foretoid In the prophecy.
Three cashes they bore on their saddle-bows.
Three Baskets of gold with golden keys;
Their robes were OF crimson silk, with rows
OF bells and pomegranates and furbelowB,
Their turbans like bIosEoming almond-trees.
And so the three Kings rode into the West
Through the dusk of night over hills and dels,
And sometimes they nodded with beard on breast,
And sometimes talked as they paused to rest,
With the people they met at the way-side wells.
OF the Child that is born" said Baltazar.
"GoOd people, I pray you, tell us the news,
For we in the East have seen His star,
And have ridden fast, and have ridden far,
TO find and worship the King of the Jews"
And the people answered : 'tYou ask in vain;
We know Of no King but Herod the Greatl"
They thought the wise men were men insane
AS they spurred their horses across the plain
Like riders in haste who cannot wait.
And when they came to Jerusalem,
Herod the Great, who had heard this thing,
And said Go down into Bethlehem,
And bring me Edings of this new King"
80 they rode away; and the star stood still,
The only one in the gray of morn
Yes it stopped 1t stood still of its own free win
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city of David where Christ was born.
And She three Kings rode through the gate and The
guard,
And neighed as they entered the great inn-yard;
But the windows were closed, and the doors were
barred,
And only a light in the stable burned
And Graded there in the scented hay,
In the air made sweet by the breath of kline,
The little Child in the manger lay
The Child that would be King one day
OF kingdom not human but divine.
Hs mother, Mary of Nazareth,
Sat Watching beside His place of rest,
Watching the even flow of His breath,
For the JOY of life and the terror Of death
We're mingled together In her breast.
They laid their offerings at His feet
The gold was their tribute to q King;
The frankincense, with it's odOr sweet,
Was for the priest, the Paraclete,
The myrrh for the bodys burying.
And the mother wondered and bowed her head
And sat as still as o statue of stone;
Her heart was troubled, yet comforted,
Remembering what the angel had said
Of an endless reign and Of DaYid's throne
Then the Kings rode out of the city gate
With the chatter Of hOofs il proud array;
BuS they went not back to HerOd the Great
For they knew his malice and feared his hate.
And returned to their homes by another way

Alleged Poisoning from Striped Stock
ingS.

A queer case is on trial in ST. Louis,
involving the alleged poisoning and ulti-
mate death of little daughter of Will
lam G. Waite, printer employed on
the Republican, and for which he and
his wife ask damages against Mr.. D.
Crawford, from whom some striped
stockings were purchased last year, and
which were worn by the deceased child,
and from the effects of which, it is al
legged, she was poisoned and died. The
case is attracting general interest, il
being novel one, and among the mum.
Der of witnesses examined are several
medical experts.

tender mercies of the Turks. As close
| learn that on our left General Scobelofi
was very severely handled, having lost
three hundred men out of his single in
fantry battalion.
The correspondent of the Daily News
with Prince Schockosky's force, tele-
graphing from Simnitza, under date of
August 1st, gives an account of the re-
treat. He thinks the whole force lost
between six and seven thousand men in
killed and wounded. A brigade of the
Thirty. second division suffered most
heavily. Besides the terrible loss Of men,
it sacrificed the imperial banner of one of
its regiments. The whole of the thirtieth
division has been smitten sorely. All the
three brigades of Schockosky's command
are for the time in state of disprganiza-
tion. A dispatch from Alexandria says
it is reported and generally believed that
six thousand more Egyptian troops are
going to Constantinople. The road was
numbered with broken and retreatipg
troops, wholly destitute of order; officers
without soldiers and soldiers without
officers, without cohesion and mostly
without arms. At narrow bridge near
Bulgareni there was wild confusion and
complete. Tumbrils, ambulance wagons,
provision wagons, officers, calesches,
horses and carts, were filled with the
wounded all were jammed in indiscrim.
mate chaos. There had been wounded
found all along the road, but the bulk OF
the wounded began a little way beyond
Bulgareni, and extended in an unbroken
line for seven miles along the road To
Sistova. They were mostly carried in
ox-carts, the severe cases in ambulances,
and large number tramped oh foot. I'M
mense numbers of wounded had tramped
the whole way from the battlefield, and
were already entering Sistova at six
o'clock yesterday evening. They must
have walked forty miles in twehty-fours,
wounded as they were. Nearly all OF
these wounded, however, consisted OF
men who had somehow managed to walk
out of the battle bad cases were mostly
left where they fell.

The town of Taunton, in England,
contains. according to the last census, a
population OF 15, ,466 souls. Two of these
souls are its mayor and vicar. The
mayors name is Jacobs, and the Wears
name is Mr.. smith. Mr.. Smith has
distinguished himself from several other
gentlemen bearing the same cognomen,
by writing to Mr.. Jacobs the following
extraordinary letter:
"TAuSToN, July Z, 1877.
SIR-It appears to be very generally
supposed that you, who have become our
mayor, are an unbaptize6 person, and
consequently not a Christian If, as |
hope is the case, there be no truth in
this supposition, will you authorize me
publicly to say so. and thus relieve very
many persons in our town from an
exceedingly painful and distressing
impression 1t would also be an act of
Justice to the aldermen and councillors
who have elected you, TO free them from
the imputation under which they now
rest of having knowingly chosen for the
chief officer, and, in some sense, repre-
sentative of our town, one who does not
believe in Him whom they themselves
profess not only to believe in, but TO
worship as their Lord and God. pro-

any answer you may send to it. / am,

FOREIGN.

In India famine of unprecedented
severity prevails, involving vast extent of
country and an immense population. The
Marquis of Salisbury, the secretary of state
for India, admits "thst the prospects, in
stead of Frightening, have during the past
few weeks, become more gloomy" He adds
that the physical circumstances are such
that even il we cannot prevent any wide-
spread suffering from actual famine-which
very much doubt-there can be no doubt
tina. severe epdemics will follow and com.
plete its work" As the New York Herald
says, the canals are dry, the rivers at their
lowest levels, and the railroads that have
absorbed much of the wealth Of the country
in their construction, though cleverly laid
down for purely military purposes, do not
convey food to the helpless inhabitants.
Wallachians and Bulgarians accom-
pany the Russian army in bands, calling
themselves ave ngers. General Kemball tel
egraphs, under date of July 2sth, that the
massacre at Bayazid is confirmed, but the
atrocities at Afdahan are quite untrue.
Official papers laid before parliament
contain the following: The English consul
at Slivno informs Minister Layard, under
date OF July 14th, that the Russians stir up
the Bulgarians and arm them, and that they
tore out the eyes Of the Mussulmsn whom
they killed at Sistova and filed the sockets
with bread. Minister Layard telegraphs
Lord Derby, under date Of July Path, that
the sultan had sent him a message entreating
the queen to use her influence with the car
to stop the shocking cruelties committed by
the Russian troops. Men, women and chill
dren are outraged and murdered in borri.
bic manner. The sultan can scarcely be-
lieve the ear wishes the war TO become one
of determination and war Of brigands. The
sultan's aid-de-camp gave Minister Layard
an account OF the revolving atrocities which
he witnessed, and which Layard says are in
a great measure confirmed by advces from
consuls and other sources. Minister Layard
also transmits July 2s) several consular re.
ports Of outrages and massacres by the
Bulgarians, and says there is truth in them,
although they may be exaggerated.

Hts own Way.


Portland press dispatches state that
General Howard is at present at kamia,
awaiting the arrival Of Maier Sanford.
As soon as that officer joins him General
Howard will take all the available force
and push vigorously after Joseph and
White Bird, who have already crossed
the Bitter Root mountains, by way of the
Lolo trail. He will 20 through to Mis-
soula as speedily as his command can
move. He will have in the neighborhood
of five hundred men. Another force under
command OF General Wheaton will leave
Fort Lapwai and, moving north, pass
through the Spokane country and cross
over into Montana through the Sahon
Pass. After crossing the mountains the
troops will push down to Missonla, where
they will Join General Howard. 1t is
expected that Howard and Wheaton's
dstachments will reach that. point stimuli
taneously. Wheaton will command
about four hundred and fifty or five hun
dred troops, and his detour through the
Spokane country will be made at the re.
quest of Indian-Inspector Watkins.
There are number OF tribes squatted
through that region who wish to be
placed on the reservation. Inspector
Watkins has been authorized to &C.
lect a suitable reservation and locate
the Indians. His principal object
in passing through that country is to
make personal inspection Of the char
acter and disposition of the Indians. the
nature Of those regions and to designate
where reservations are to be located. 1t
is also thought that the marching of a
large force of troops through there will
have a very beneficial effect on the In
dians. Most OF them are peacesbly dis
posed toward the whites, while sonie are
inclined to be turbulant. The dciach.
ment will not leave Lapwai for week
or more, and any struggling bands of hos
tiles which may have broken away from
Joseph or White-B Bird, and attempt to
reach the Spokane country. will he inter
repted by Wheaton and cut of. This
movement will, IL is believed, crush out
the strength of the hostiles, and bring
r. TO the whole region Of country
=, sof the Bitter Root mountains, and
with the capttire or annihilation Of
Joseph's and White. Birds bands of rene
gades, bring the war to close. Colonel
Green, with force Of cavalry, will re-
main in and about Kama, to protect the
settlement, and to cut of all struggling
squads of Indians he can find.
Captain Wilkinson received dispatch
in regard to obtaining the Warm Spring
scouts to accompany General Howard,
thfor oh the Tnlo trail IN the mountain.
The Indians have mostly gone after fish
and game. l have called a council Tor
Monday, the thirtieth, and will send
word Wednesday night Ms to the result.
If any scouts are obtained they will come
to Dallas as soon as possible, and be con-
veyed to. the front. General Howard,
having dispensed with a part Of his
scouting force, is very desirous of secur-
ing a number of Warm Spring scouts.
These scouts, it will be remembered, per.
formed gallant aid effective service
during the Modoc war.
