of injury that is being inflicted on the rising generation-those who are to take our place in the busy world at no distant growing up without any knowledge of the present, or any study of the past, this ignorance, too, being imbucd into them by the sanction of those who should, and doubtless do, know better, did they only think of the injurious effect of their insane course. Let the head of every family think of this, and place in the hands of those for whom he is responsi- ble the means of acquiring some knowl- edge of the moving panorama in which we act our different parts.

DE AD SELVES.
P,any of my selyes are dead [

How e,any of my selves are dead
 Tho ghosts of many haunt me. To The baby in the tiny bed With rockers on is blanketed
 And sleeping in the long ago; And so I ask, with shaking bead, How many of my selves are dead7 \ little face with drowsy eyes
 And lisping lips comes mistily From out the faded past, and tries he prayers a mother bTeathed with sighs
 Uf anxious care in teaching me; But face and form and prayers have fled How many Of my selves are dead? The little naked feet that slipped
 In truant patteTs, and led the way Through dead ming pasture-lahds, and uipped Der tangled poison-vines and dipped
 In streams forbidden where are they? In vain l listen for their tread How many of my selves are dead The ap kward boy the teacher caught
 Inditng letters filled with love- Who was compelled for all he fought, To read aloud esch tender thought
 Of |" Sugar Lump" and "Turtie Dove''--- wonder where he hides his head How many of my selves are dead? The earnest features of youth,
 With manly fringe on lip and chin, With eager tongue 10 tell the truth To offer love and life, forspoth,
 So brave was he to woo and win; A prOuder man was never we'd How many of my selves are dtad7 The great, strong hands so all-incIined
 To welcome toll, or smooth the care From mother brows, or quick to find A leisure scrap of aty kind
 To toss the baby in the air, Or clap al babbling things 1t said How many of my selves are dead7 The watchful eye and scheming brain Consptring in the plots of wealth, Unconscious, till the heightened chain, Unwindlassed in the wells of gain.
 Recois with dregs of ruined health And pain and poverty instead How many of my selves are deadi The faltering step, the faded hair,
 The 'wildered mind--all whispering With foolish fancies that declare That life and love were never there, Nor ever joy in anything, Nor wounded heart that ever bled- How many of my selves are dead2 So many of my selves are dead
 That, beading here above the brink Of my lsst grave, with dizzy head, l find my spirit comforted
 For all the idle things think It can but be peaceful bed, Since all my other selves are dead.

THE STRIKERS AGAIN.
They Have Complete Possession of the
Railroads nj COIumhu

COLUMBUS, o., July 31.-The strikers have
complete control of the Columbus, Chicago
and Indiana Central Railroad yards They
appointed yard master Of their own and
prevented all freight trains from leaving.
When the 3: 30 O'Clock mail and passenger
train was about to leave the strikers told the
conductor to step down and out, as they had
q man Of their own to take the train out
When Superintendent Miller discovered this
he ordered discontinuance of the train. The
strikers to-day were strangers, believed to be
rioters driven out Of Pittsburg and other
places, who have come here to stir up some
trouble Baltimore and Ohio is not yet re-
ceiving freight for shipment from this point,
and no freight trains have yet gone out
Gov, Young was applied to, and responded
by ordering out twenty-three companies of
militia. They will arrive tomorrow, when it
Is believed vigorous measures will be taken to
suppress lawiess interference with trains.
A man named Lewis Kerschul was arrested
for placing distractions on the Scioto Valley
Railroad, seven miles from this city, Saturday
evening Kerschul confessed that it was his
purpose TO wreck the train, and the evidence
is strong against him.
Considerable excitement prevails again in
the city, and additional special police are be
ing sworn in.
Business is very much depressed by the
railroad troubles, and merchants are begin
ming to complain.

THE STRIKE.
The strike CalamitOus to American Credit

[Chicago Times.l

i'm Europe.
[Chicago Times.]
New YORK, July 26, a. m.-Extraor-
dinary anxiety is felt in all circles con-
cerning the disturbances in the United
States. The suddenness, rapidity and
general extent of the strikes are regard
ed as surprising and unexampled. The
painful impression in England than any
event since the outbl eak of the war Of
secession, in 1861. AS yet neither the
English people nor the newspapers
have been able to form any clear theory
or realization as to the causes of the
outbreak. The public find in the Lon
don newspapers only cold statements,
such as the location of the riot, the
number Of people killed, and the value
Of the property destroyed. The news
papers have generally expressed the
hope that the United States government
rection. The Daity Telegraph, how
ever, thinks that the corruption
and mismanagement of the rail-
way managers has given to the en-
ployes both the temptation and the OPP
portunity. Whatever Is the result of
the governments interference, the effect
of the strike must be calamitous to
American credit.
A very painful Impression 15 intro
duced here by the action of Gov. Will
liams, OF Indiana, in declaring that he
would not interfere between the strikers
and the railway companies. It Is the
impression, however, among the more
reasonable portion Of the English peo-
pie that Gov. Williams remarks have
been incorrectly telegraphed to this
country, The thousands Of holders of
American railroad securities in England
cannot be made to believe that the Gov
ernor Of State in the Union would de-
cline to interfere to protect the rights OF
property.
A correspondent at Berlin telegraphs
that intense interest prevails in the
German capital regarding the great
American railroad strike. Most Of the
papers have daily editorials on the SUBJ
ject. The socialist leaders are loud in
their eulogies of the martyred Mollie
Maguires and, to show their sympathy
for the strikers, have opened subscrip-
ttions in their favor. Not much money
is raised, however.
