MIR. LeIehton,s Poem,


AT THE CouRT OF KING EDWIN ia a
new poem, in dramatic form, by Mr.
William Leighton, j., fof Wheeling
whose first venture in this direction
"The Sons OF Goodwin" appeared coieln.
poraneously with Tennyson's poem, and
by its subject was brought into direct
comparison with It. It was all the bet.
ter for Mr.. leighton that II was so. II
brought his book more prominently be.
fore the reading public, and the compar.
lson did him great good. This new work
has less known and a Less striking
theme but 1t does not lack strong dra'
matte situations nor vigorous poetry, and
will enhance Mr.. Leighton's reputation
The time Of the drama is in that period
Of strife before the English Kingdoms
had been united under one Saxon Prince
Edwin, King Of Deira, has at his court
as captive Enid, Princess Gwynedd, who
was betrothed in her days of freedom to
Perda, King OF Mercia, n valiant
tributary Of Edwin's. Edwin'H Queen il
a Christian, and he himself, after fash.
ion, but still disposed to speak we'll Of
olin and seek information from the wiz,
ards. He brides the high priest OF Odin
to accept Christianity by offering him
Ends hand and kingdom, but the CHIEF
wizard has fallen in love with her and re.
solves that his superior knowledge and
shrewdness and his reputation for magic
power shall serve him in accomplishing
his desires. Ends brother appears Al
court in dipguise 10 carry out a wild plan
Of reScnins her, but Is detected by the
wizard and thrown into a dungeon under
tho wizards ward. The wizards slave,
who is a fugitive Countryman of Ends,
resolves to rescue the young Prince and
Enid. AT the nick OF time the King OF
Mercia appears to demand Ends hand
and pay her ransom, but notwithstand.
Ing good service just rendered Edwin, he
is refused, thrown of'his allegiance, and
is about to carry her of by force, when
all is happily arranged. The time oecu.
pied Ia only twenty.four hours, 90 the &c.
tion does not lag, and the plot gives some
excellent dramatic situations. The Chris.
tian bishop playa prominent part, and
the relations Of the conquering new reli.
gion 10 fading heathenism Is used very OF.
tectivcly. Mr.. leighton IL doing excel.
lent work in his dramatic studies, and
will win himself an enduring fame IN our
literary annals.

HELP THE CITIZENS

with his men. As regarded the miners,
he stated that he would work with those
whose cause seemed all right to him,
and that he would aid striking railroad
men if any live anywhere so far as he
could. "Wc have our own affairs to
attend to first, though" said he.
During the conversation crowd OF
strikers had gathered about to listen to
the conversation, and to Ammon's ex-
pressions, at intervals they added their
own comments always of approval.
Gray-haired men, old enough to be the
father of the speaker, came up at inter-
walls and received orders with an air of
perfect submission and confidence which
was astonishing.
Outside up and down the track hun
dreds of men were sitting about doing
nothing, for with no freight trains going
out the modern Jack Cade can not sup
ply his army with constant employment.
Some of them with muskets in their
hands were walking about, but the dis
play of arms was not very great. There
are arms enough in the possession of
the strikers though, and it is estimated
that their force proper is about 1000
men. AT night they man the works and
patrol about the property of the road.
The tracks are crowded with locOmO-
tives and cars, nothing at all being
housed. The trains which go out leave
at the regular hours generally, and car
ry some passengers, and it is believed a
crowd of strikers as a guard; but there
is irregularity and may yet be some aw-
full casualties. 1t is said that Ammon,
to enable one train to make up lost time,
sent it for a distance at the rate of
EIGHT MILES IN SIX MINUTES.
The situation is something astonishing.
Ammon with his army and his railroad
is tonight an Independent ruler. Am
mon was discharged brakeman when
the late troubles commenced, but has
occupied positions on the road and in
the yards. He is not representative
strictly of the class he is leading. He
was in the insurance business at one
time. He is clerk, adrOit, quick of
perception and daring; but how he came
to be the leader of the organized strikers
of the Fort Wayne Road is marvel. 1t
is stated that he was once arrested for
embezzlement.

The Latter Peace.


We have passed the MONDAY summit,
We have left the MONDAY heat,
And down the hillside slowly
Descend our wearied feet.
Yet the evening airs are balmy,
And the evening shadows sweet.
Our summer latest roses
Lay witheree long ago;
And even the flowers OF autumn
scarce keep their mellowed glow.
Yet, peaceful season woos Us,
Ere the time of storms and snow.
Like the tender twilight weather
When the toll of day is done,
And we feel the bliss OF quiet
Our constant hearts have won
When the yesper planet bushes,
Kissed by the dying sun.
SO falls that tranquil season,
Dew like, on soul and sight;
Faiths silvery star rise blended
with memoryis sunset light,
Wherein life pauses softly
Along theverge of light.

Patriotic Russian Women.

Throughout Russia the war-feeling is
exceedingly strong. The Russian
women, especially, display a warm in
terest in the welfare of the army.
'sTwo days ago. writes the st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Manchester
Examiner, - at the invitation of Baron
ess Radinah, spent an hour in going
over the builing near Fort Nichols in
which the Red Cross Society is installed,
and any thing so perfect in its arrange
ments can scarcely be imagined. Every
conceivable thing that human ingenuity
could suggest or invent is there ready
to be forwarded for the use and comfort
of the sick and wounded soldiers. As
passed through the rooms l could not
help expressing to Madame Radinah my
establishment at the number of beautl-
full women | saw around me, all wear
ing the regulation pinafore, with a red
cross on their breast. But the Baroness
told me that one was Madame Narisch-
kina, nee Princess Kourakini; another
the Countess Schouvaloff, and all
ladies of rank and fortune-all
working as if their daily
bread depended upon their exertions.
In every noble mansion, in every cot
tage in Russia, this work is going on all
day dong. The men are fighting for the
Cross, the women are silently working
for those who fall in its defense. 1t IS a
national war, and the sentiment is the
same in the breast of the Princess as OF
the peasant. From what | have seen l
believe there is not lady in Russia who
would not cheerfully place every jewel
she possesses and ladies here are rich
in iewels-to be disposed of for the cause
in which her country has taken up arms.
If those who talk so loudly of ''British
interests could see, as have seen, the
devotedness of this people to the object
for which war is being waged, believe
they would feel ashamed of the policy
which puts imagined self-interests be-
fore the calls of humanity, and would
leave some millions of fellow-Christians
totoil on under q barbarous yoke be
cause of some fancied detrimentthat may
ensue' IN years to come

The corpse lay on a couch, wrapped
in winding-sheet. The face was beau
tiful and peaceful in its expression, as if
she were mot dead but sleeping" The
husband stopped and kissed the marble
brow, and gazed like one distraught at
the placid features. The scene was one
never to be forgotten, and almost too
narrowing to be described. The blood
stained walls, the odor of mortality, the
hushed silence of all, the broken sobs
and shaking frame of the bereaved man,
and the pale, lovely face of the murder
ed lady.
Mr.. Buskerck begged me to pass the
mighty with him, and in the morning, con-
duct the examination of the remaining
witnesses before the Coroner's Jury.
However painful 3he duty might be, l
felt constrained TO grant the request.
The Coroner's Jury met on the fol-
lowing morning at 10 o'clock, and the
first witness summoned was the hus-
band.
His testimony, given with great clear
ness, though with every evidence of the
strongest emotion, was substantially as
follows: He had parted with his wife
at the Jersey Ferry House at half-past 8
O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon; had
taken the O'Clock train for Philadel-
phia. At Elizabeth he had left the ears
and taken a turn upon the platform
and the train had started before he was
aware OF it, and rolled of, leaving hin
at the station; he had walked the street:
] Of Elizabeth for two hours, returning Il
