Many Of our readers are no doubt
familiar with Thoms Moore's beauti-
full song Of The Evening Bells." but
they may not be familiar with the in
cident which suggested them. The
incident 10 a. follows: In the Cathe-
dral at Limerick there hangs q chime
of bells which were cast in Italy BY an
enthusiast in his trade. who fixed his
homo near the monastery where
they first hung. that Ee nigh
daily enjoy their sweet and
solemn music. In some political
revolution the bells where taken
away to some distant land, and the
maker himself became . refugee and
exile. After some years be found his
way to Ireland. On . calm and beauti-
full evening. as the vessel which bore
him foated on the placid bosom Of
he Shannon, suddenly the evening
chimes pealed from the cathedral
towers. His practiced ear caught the
sweet sounds. and be knew his lost trsas-
sures were fonnd. His early home, bis
old friends, his beloved native land,
all the best associations Of his life were
in those sounds. He laid himself hack
in the boat, crossed his arms upon
his breast, and listened to the
music. The boat reached the wharf
but still he lay there silent and
motionless. They spoke to him,
but he did not answer. They went
to him, but his spirit had fled. The
tide Of memories that came vibrating
through his heart at that well-known
chime, had snapped the silver cord aud
set him free. II was this incident
which suggested to the poet the lines
which are here appended
"Thoss evening bells! those evening bells.
How many tale their music tells.
OF youth, and home. and that sweet time
When last heard their soothing chimef
"Those Joyous hours are passed away,
And many . heart that then was gay
Within the tomb nov darkly dwelIs.
And hears no more those evening bells.
"And thus twill Be when am gone,
And that tunefdl peal will still ring on;
While other bards shall walk these dells,
And sing your praise, sweet evening bells "

Sights and Scenes Upon the Streets.

Inc e'ect'on, yesterday. although

torily. No lighting took place. al

were instantly extinguished by thu
police. A railroader disagreed with q

reader gently inserted his left hand in
the darkey's wool for a good hold and
drew back his right pile driver to
spread his nose over his face, but Of
6cer Wentzelman interfered.
The personifcatisn Of the height OF
human happiness was yesterday to be
seen in several splendid carriages in the
streets. A fine equipage would roll
along with four darkeys spread out all
over it with the most delicious aban.
don. Their faces were cut in two BY
wide blood red chasms that were fenced
in with ivory. and every jolt of the
spring was accompanied by chuckles of
delight, and the whites of their eyes
rolled in ecstacy like hard boiled eggs
in stormy sea ofink. Sometimes could
be seen on the velvet cushions an an
tiauated Sambo in his jeans and fur
cap, sitting bolt upright with all the
dignity Of potentate, till lurch Of
the vehicle TANNED his coonskin down
over his ears and doubled him up in
heap. to the intense delight OF the lit
tie pickaninnies who shouted from the
sidewalk

"Yes," would mutter an old Dinah,
"niggah ride in de kerridge to day, but
ter-morrer he's ole mig. jes de same.
Yah, YAH" and her old fat sides would
shake with joy at her grim sarcasm.
The saloons were all closed, but
some enterprising individuals started
ones with jugs in the alleys,
and three or four would gather in the
name of universal suffrage and good
whisky and sit down on box and dis.
russ the situation. Nothing on earth
can exceed the gravity of a drunken
politician arguing to three or four over
a well flied jug. 1t is a beautiful
sight to see the unanimity with which |
they pool their issues every FIVE min
utes and refer to the jug for more light |
On the subject. They did no harm,
however, and we believe no arrests
we're made, the police allowing the
free American every latitude consis-
tent with good order.
The candidates and their friends |
worked hard, and there was $50 pounds
IF persuasion thrown on to the square
nch ofevery man, who approached the
polls. But most Of them had their
minds made up and their tickets al
'eady in their hand. There was con.
siderable scratching done. and a voted
election ticket looked like the proof of
! backwoods compositor.
The most excited discussions upon
he difference between greenbacks and
,old occurred between men who hadn't
i've dollars to their name. and the most
lrdent champions of the working men
we're those who have done nothing but
rang around street corners for six
weeks.
But the necessary evil is over, thank
Tod, and nine-tenths Of the people are
for it.
