Music HATH CHARMs.-Quite an
excitement was caused in the Post
Office on Monday evening last, by
the appearance of young German
who kept quite large audience spell
bound for an hour or more with the
delightful music of a either, an in
strument to which almost all present
were strangers. 1t seems the per-
former has but lately arrived in this
city, and being potter by trade,
he was, about week ago searching
for the peculiar clay which potters
use, and which he learned could be
obtained few miles down the bay.
While engaged in his search he was
overhauled by some pirates and
robbed of everything he had except
his either and some music, and as o
consequencefelt very Respondent over
his loss. On the evening above men,
toned collection was taken up for
him, but it was with the greatest
difficulty he could be prevailed on to
accept it. as he preferred working
for a living. A generous-hearted
gentleman of this city, supplied him
with clothing, and we understand he
is now at work on the railroad.

The Rights OF Passengers.

For some months past suit has been
before the courts IN Chenango county,
which, from it's peculiar nature, has
elected considerable attention. One
Henry Peck, on the 10th of August,
1870, desiring to visit Cape Ann, Mass,
with his wife and daughter, purchased
at the Office of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, at Nor
wich, three tickets Of the Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company to
Albany, paying the usual fare. On
going to the train that stood at the
depot, Mr.. Peck was informed by con-
ductor that the seats were ali taken In
the rear cars and he would have to go in
one of the forward cars. This he did,
and, seeing no empty seats in the coach,
went into the drawing-room car, and,
with his wife and daughter, took posses
sion of three chairs. While there seated
the conductor of the train came through,
took their tickets and passed or. Soon
after the conductor of the palace car
came along and demanded Is cents of
each as palace-car fare. Peck declined
to pay it, claiming that he had paid
full fare to Albany. Upon reaching Pal
atine bridge. the next stopping place,
and still refusing to pay the extra fare,
Peck was elected from the train, the wife
and daughter following and voluntarily
leaving the car. Action was brought
against the railroad company to recover
damages for election from the cars, and
in two courts the jury rendered verdict
in plaintiffs favor. The railroad COM
pany, not content with the decision, had
the case brought before the Court OF
Appeals, and the trial, which has just
closed, resulted in a verdict of &c. 900
for the plaintiff. Syracuse Standard.

ANSWER FOR ME.
BY R. H. sroDDARD.

What would do for You, my dear,
Ii to-day could be lord of my life?
suppose that we both were sitting here,
Mere man and woman, not husband. wife.
Would your faded face be fair, and your brow
What but the wrinkles there would I see?
Would love you then as do now?-
But you shall answer, dear, for me.
Iove not easily, love but few:
Light come, light go. is not my way:
No one has known my heart but you,
And you not its deeps, as you shall to-day
Put your hand on it and feel it beat
Where is the other impossible she
Can quicken it, kneeling at my feet p
But you shall answer, sweet for me.
Love rs forever, and only one;
For when it enters surrendered hearts
1t is as the supreme master-none
Can dispossess him till life departs
And none succeed him of royal line
Vacant the darkened throne must be,
IT desolation should fall on mine
But you shall answer love, for me-
If were king of the world, my dear,
You could not be more my queen than now
You would have the same old lover here,
Except that his crown would be on your brow.
Can anything be too good for you
That king may give you? Ask and see;
Name me the thing that will not do
For you shall answer, wife, for me.

The Darien Ship Canal.

Some time since the President ap-
pointed board of engineers, of which
Gen. Humphreys was chairman, to ex-
anime the reports of all the schemes for
canal across the Isthmus of Darien,
and to report which is the most feasible.
The board has reported in favor of the
Nicaraguan route. The President has
communicated with several European
governments upon the subject, and has
recommended the building of the canal
as an international work, with mutual
guarantee between the powers that it
snail be permanently neutral. Several
of these European governments have
sent encouraging responses. The
President will call the attention of Con
gress to this subject in special mes
sage at an early day.

The Man Who Wanted to Put Some Big
Words in His Speech.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
A man wearing passably good clothes
and look of mental anxiety entered
produce house on Woodbridge street
yesterday noon, and, finding only clerk
in possession, asked:
Say, are you putty we'll posted in
big words?"
st know quite number of big
words" replied the clerk, as he finished
footing up column of figures.
"Well, then, here's the situation"
continued the stranger. 81 live out
here piece, and am something OF big
gun around home. When anything is
going on they call me out for speech.
I made one on election day, another
that night, and another next morning,
and now I'm laying the sleepers for
speech to eclipse 'em all. )"
"What sort of speech?'' inquired
the clerk.
Political, of course. My other
speeches were political, but were very
plain. This time l want to get in some
old sockers-a few regular old twisters.
For one thing I thought would de-
clare this country in state of-what do
you call it g.
"Peace e.
"No, sir; mean confusion, excite
ment and so on. There's word to sig
Nifty it, but I can't speak it..
"Abject terrorism?" suggested the
clerk.
tNo, no; it's archany, or something
of the kind"
"I guess you mean anarchy, don't
you?"
=" dido Bless me if I haven't
been trying for whole hour to get that
word That's the very thing. When
called out, I. want to lead off with ::
Fellow citizens, the tyrant has shown
his hand, and arnica reigns supreme l
guess that will knock EN-"
"You don't mean arnica-you mean
anarchy" protested the clerk.
"That's what I mean, of course, hut
every time I think Of enarchy get 1t
arnica, and don't know but I'll have to
give up the speech"
"Write it down." said the clerk.
The man took up the pen, scratched
his nose rehectively, and wrote: car
k-a-n-y." Holding up the paper, he
waved his hand and began: ''Peace has
fed and arkany reigns in the land"
81 told you it was anarchy" called
the clerk.
"That's so-that's so. This suspense
is telling on my memory-like fit of
sickness. Now, then, a-n-a-r-k ky, an
arky, and don't you forget it. You
needn't say anything about my calling
in here"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
clerk. "Over seven-eighths of the
best speakers in town have come to me
for big words.
MANY thanks and now, fellow
citizens, peace has fled far, far away, and
arkany reigns-. Hold on! LIS that the
right word 2"
He halted at the door to examine the
slip of paper, and after repeating the
right word over several times he went
on:
GA state of anarky is upon us, and
where will it end 3"
He seemed satisfied with that until ne
reached Woodward avenue. At that
point he appeared to become inspired
again, and said

TIE OLD DFACoN's LAMENT.
By MRS. E. II. coRBETT.

Yes, I've been deacon Of our church
Nigh on TO fifty year,
Walked in the way Of dooty, too,
And KEEP my conscience clear.
I've watched the children CROWN up,
Seen brown locks turnin' gray,
But never saw sech doin's yet
AS those I've seen to-day.
This church was built by cody men
To glorify the Lord,
In seventeen hundred eighty-elgh5;
Folks couldn't then afford
Carpets and cushings and sech like
The seats were jest plain wood,
Too narrer for the sleepy ones; >
In prayer we allus stood.
And when the hymns were given out,
tell you it was grand
To hear our leader start the tunes,
With tunin fork in hand!
Then good old "China, -" Mears," and all,
were heard on SabbaGh-days,
And men and women, boys and girls,
JTned in the song of praise.
But that old pulpit was 111y pride
Jest eight feet from the ground
They'd reared it UPON either side
narrer stairs went down;
The front and eends were fifty carved
Findin' of Moses, Jacobs dream,
And sinful Adams fall.
Just room inside to put q cheer,
The Bible on the ledge
I'm own I did get narvous when
He showed it to the edge).
There, week by week, the parson stood,
The Soripter to expound;
There, man and boy, I've sot below,
And not fault was found.
OF course, I've seen great changes made,
And fought ag'inst 'em, too;
But first a choir was interdooced,
Then cushings in each pew;
Next, boughten carpet for the floor,
And then, that very year,
We got our new melodeon,
and the big shandyleer.
Wei, we'll ! tried to keep things straight
went to ev'ry meetin',
And voted "No" to all they said,
But found my infu'nce fieetin'.
At last the worst misfortin' fell
must blame Deacon Brown;
He helped the young folks when they said
The pulpit should come down.
They laughed at all those pious scenes
EQ IOuuu SO oulIylu,
Said, When the parson rose to preach
He looked a'most like hyin';"
said that g Elijah's chariot
Jest halfway up had tarried;"
And Deacon Brown sot by and laughed,
And go the pint was carried.
This was last week. The carpenters
Have nearly made an end
Excuse my feelin's. Seems to me
AS eff I'd lost a friend.
'' IT made their necks ache, lookin' up"
Was what the folks did say;
More lOokin' up would help us all
In this deginrate day.
The church won't never seem the same
(T'm half afeared) to me,
Under the preachin' of the truth
I've ben so used to he.
And nowto see our parson stand
Lii1e any common man.
With jest a railin' round his desk
don't believe can!

but stubbornly refused. The hseNigencer says

the late legislature was the passage of bill ap
propriating at the rate of $1,000 yearly to the
support of the Seattle University. In return
for this appropriation we are to have forty five
free scholarships, each member of the lesisla-
ture to have the appointment of one scholar.
So far the members from the counties east of
the mountains have been slow about maxim :
their appointments. The original appropriation
we deem Objectionable, but inasmueh as it has
been made aud the money will be drawn from

day or two since We noticed that the piles OF
grain had disappeared. Early in the season it
was feared that the facilities for moving the
grain crop would prove unequal to the emergency
but both railroad and steamboats, strained a
point and succeeded in getting away with the
bulk of the crop. In number of warehouses
sacks of wheat can still be Seen piled up, but
not to the extent that was apprehended, and in
