McGILvRA's SPEECH. No'wlth-
standing the rain a large audience
gathered in Yesler's Hall last ght %
hear Hon. ]. ]. McGilvrs's report OF
his doing. while in Washington, and
respecting matters GERMAN 10 the rail-
road question. The brass band was IN
attendance, and its enlivening strains
contributed 10 add zest 10 the OCCASION.
DR.. Weed was nominated Chairman
and Roswell Scott secretary. Mr.. Nc
Gilyra commenced by disclaiming the
opinion implied in an article in our
Yesterdays issue that his mission had
any reference to furthering the inter
ests of the Seattle and Wslla Walla
Railroad. He then reviewed the his
tory of the bills aud committee wor K
upon them. substantially a. has been
previously detailed in this journal.
The section Of the House oili confirm
ing to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company 90 mile strip on the north
side of the Puyallup branch road. he
stated was compromise. The greater
part of this strip falls within the bel. of
the grant already earned on the Kalsma
division, and the balance is mostly IN
the White river and Puyaliup valleys,
where nearly all the good land was
taken by settlers many years ago.
Fifty thousand acres is all it includes.
Considerable attention was paid to the
merits of Mitchell's Senate bill, for
conferriag the Northern Pacific branch
grant OF 100000 acres in aid of
the Portland. Dslles and Salt Lake
road Mr.. McGilvrs lsbored vigorous
ly 10 get incorporated in this bill a
clause Incorporating the Seattle aud
Walla Walla road as an equal sharer
with the Portland, Dslles and Salt
Lake road in this lapsed subsidy of the
North Pacific Company. He stated
that the bill had been submitted To the
committee but no report had yet been
made. The Secretary read letter from
Senator Mitchell IN Mr.. McGilvra stat
ing that the claims of the Seattle and
Walla Walla road should be laid before
the committee. He (McGilvra) was hope
ful that if the bill was reported favora-
bly, at all, the rights of Puget Sound
would be recognized. He had a
great deal to say in the matter of the
enjoined 5000 county order, but in q
tone more OF sorrow than of anger"
he then followed with q glowing eulo-
gium en- the past record and future
destiny Of the Seattle and Walla Walla
Railroad enterprise. In closing. after
speaking of the present status Of the
city charter question concerning which
we will speak more at length hereafter
he said that our city organization would
come out all right. however particular
events might tsrn. The meeting passed
. vote of thanks to Mr.. McGilvra for
his able efforts and then adjourned.

A PICTURE.

A picture hangs on my study wall
Of a stately maiden, fair aud tall;
Like a graceful flower, on supple stem,
Her head, with its regal diadem
Of braided strands in shaded brown,
Wears like blossom fair natures crown;
While fluffy tendrils about her brow,
The soft west wind seems lifting now.
turn my ear to catch the word
(For a sound from those lips I surely heard:)
While the eyes from their depths of tender
est hue,
AS we'll as the lips are speaking, too!
No, I am deceived-she did not speak,
For the rounded outline of either cheek
Is unbroken by dimples, while at her throat
The filmy lace imprisons the note.
So, vy-wreathed among my books,
A fair Minerva she sweetly looks.
While she silently watches me day by day
My thoughts from the picture will wander
away
To her fairer self-oh, painters art!
You can never picture woman's heart.
And a stranger who only her sweet face can
see
Can never know what she is to me!
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1878-05-08

graceful sweep as she puts on the
dignity Of years. The seasons
teach US something here, if We go
to nature for an object lesson. How
different her charm from the deep,
maturing summer, when the bues
are decided, and the air is loaded
with perfume from a thousand
censers. The school girl is only
on the threshold of summer.
She has not crossed it yet. Let
her copy the sweet grace of the
spring on her graduation day, and
discard artifciality for nature.
