Twenty Third Annual Address CT the
Americans Csrrler-Boy.
1879

~ AN the faithful carrier boy
Upon my weary way;
"a It's happiness without alloy
To greet you. friend, to day.
| maxi my most respectful bow,
And stop with cap in hand,
To say | AIN. II you'll allow,
Your servant to command.
bring YOU, Sir, nv last address,
Prepared with greatest care,
Just issued from the Hancock press,
IL, pages fresh and fair.
To state in brief nv onerous task
The blessed year gone hv.
With much respect humblv ask -
Do not the boon deny.
I've brought you tidings from the plain
OF sangulnAry -trifr,
Where Russian hosts, some power to gain
Have crushed out many life
The Christian eros. by Russian stayed
Has pressed the Crescent low,
While priest and prelate loud have prayed
For death to Christians foe.
The holy cause to further well
By blood was stained the sod
The CORY hand would snatch from hell.
And lead the Turk 10 God,
I've watched the ports Of every cline,
Scanned harsor. sound and BAY,
And brought YOU tidings many = time
OF where your vessels Law.
I've been to Congress. lookcr-on,
And viewed the members Ger;
And, Sir. - true as | am born,
Some fools were on the floor.
watched the doing, for your sake;
And now | hope TO boiler,
If ststesmenG) did not try To make
Some ninety cents dollar
Recited the fearfuutale
Ofnoble Clusters fall
So sad it made the check 10 pale.
And claimed tear from all.
Informed you Of storms and gales,
OF hood and fre..and crime,
OF ,now-bound trains and tagging mails
In clustering Winters time;
The tidal wave, the earthquake shock,
The wild tornado's roar,
The stranded ship on reef or rock
The homeless, starving poor;
The obseques, the marriage rite,
The prices current too.
The mob's career, the strikers fight,
Anu IONalS, HOk u lew.
For two and ffty weeks, my friend,
Through snow and hail and rain,
I've brought the tiding- latest peuned,
That you might read again.
An Indian at the Capitol,
To represent his tribe,
Most earnestly appealed to all
Some money TO subscribe.
'Small sums, if | can be believed,
10 ask for which I'm driven,)
Will be most thankfully received,
And credit due be given;
~But larger sums will thanked for be
At dd-rd{orem rates,
SO. brothers, show your charity,
And aid your dusky mates"
The moral Of this funny tale,
As all may plainly see
Is, Sterling worth should never fail
Requited we'll to be.
II friends, you wish to make q pool
To aid the carrier boy,
I'll thank you by the Indians rule,
And take the chink with joy.
To rich and poor. to old and young,
To all my patrons dear.
wish you all with pen and tongue,
happy, happy year.

contributions to the literature Of the sub
ject Canon Farrar's sermons on 'sEter-
nal Hope" which set the controversy a
going. are already in their tenth thousand,
and the Canon himself is yet at work re-
pclling the assaults upon his hopeful doc
trine Of the future life. In addition to the

pr,so, Cell. Cast i. ne.,ss.

The new State prison Of Nebraska has its
cells made Of one single solid stone. The
stone is artificial, and each cell is cast in a
mould. The Omaha Bee says that a week
ago number Of noted personages assem-
bled to witness the casting Of one Of these
solid stone cells. The casting was a per-
feet success. When the stone has hard
ened it is more difficult to cut or drill
through than any natural rock. Besides,
1t is fire-proof that is, it will not crack
under the influence Of either fire or water,
or both.-Erchange.
From the above, it can be readily seen
why the proposition has been made to
build our new Courthouse in the rocks on
the east side Of the town. In our case, the
cells could be cut out Of the solid rock,
and save the trouble Of casting, and has all
the other requisites.

II Suecessfui Fraad Empregnabie
From the Savannah Newsl

Fraud, forgery and perjury have been
clearly proven to have been the means by
which Mr. Hayes attained his seat Never
theless Congress has solemnly declared
that under our system OF government a
usurper once in the Presidential chair can
never, under any circumstances short of
impeachment and conviction, be disturbed
by any power under heaven. Thus sue
cessful fraud is acknowledged to be i'm
pregnable. Yet this Government must
have some power to vindicate its majesty,
and show that the fundamental principles
upon which our whole system is based, viz,
that tho governing shall hold their places
only by the consent OF the governed, can
not be violated with impunity.
