GOOD-B We.

Good-byc! All me! The words are weird.
As bells that toll for spirits fed.
Goodbye forewarns the goal is neared,
And yet good-byes are lightly said,
The farewell falls from laughing lips
On ears that idly catch the sound,
AS though our lives were buoyant ships,
And years were seas sailed swiftly round
Goodbye! Ah me! The words are fraught
With vanished hopes and broken ties,
With lessons all too rudely taught,
And angry clouds in summer skies,
From heart to heart the words should pass
When friendly hands clasped closely lie;
For swiftly runs the fatal glass,
And surely comes the last goodbye.

The United States Department.

At the opening of the Exposi
ton, I had occasion to express bctl
surprise and indignation at thF
character of the United States ex
hibit. A more mature consideration
of all the circumstances have con
vinced me that the opinion the1
expressed, if not entirely wrong
was not altogether right. My con
slant association with the Centen
NAL Exhibition in Philadelphia
having led me to look for more
than might have been reasonably
expected. The circumstances at
tending the exhibit of the United
States were peculiar. Up to the
very last moment almost, it was
doubtful whether they would bf
able to exhibit at all. A lot
of miserable political peddlar:
had delayed the appropriation
and when it was finally grant
ed the sum was so inadequate
for the business in hand that the
Commissioner, Gov. Mccormick
was hampered and Strengthened fol
means to place himself and the ex
hibit of which he had charge in 6
position that would reflect honor or
himself aid his country. In addi
ton to this, owing to the brief time
allowed for preparation, many Of
the great firms of the country alb
solutely refused to come forward Al
all, and many who did, for the same
cause, we're unable to make such al
elaborate preparation as so impor
tant an occasion demanded; not
withstanding all these drawbacks
and the invidious comparisons
which one of the most splendid exz
hibitions of modern times has in
vited, there is still enough in thf
United States Department to chaI
lenge the admiration and wonder
of every visitor to the Paris Expo
sition.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRTDUNEl
WASHINGTON, Nay 0.-Messrs Collins * Co., the
contractors for building the Madeira and Mamora
Railroad in Brazil. have had an agent in Washing
ton for several days. for the purpose of contracting
with colored labOrers 10 work upon that road but
although this city is full of coored people out of
employment very great difficulty has been found to
induce any of them to leave the District. Messrs.
Collins & Co. offer good wages, contract employ
ment for two years, and expenses TO and from
South America Thus far they have succeeded IN
obtaining promise Of only 125 laborers to go from
this city, while they are desirous of securing go.
The principal obstacle seems to be fear among the
coored people that after they reach South America
they will be placed in bondage and compelled to re-
main there even they shouldnOt like the place and
the work.
Another agent of the contractors is in Virginia
attempting to enlist between two and three hun
dred labOrers there for the purpose but lac has
not been successful. 1t was the intention of the
Messrs. Collins that their laborers should
sail from Philadelphia tomorrow, but account of
the difficulty in obtaining quota, the time has
been postponed.
At meeting Of colored people of this District, at
which the proposition of the contractors was con-
sidered the Brazilian Minister was called upon for
information in regard to the enterprise. He replied
that while he did not personally vouch for the con-
tractors, there every indication that they were
resonsible men and would carry out their agree
ments. lie also said that although slavery had not
been fully abolished in Brazil, it in process Of
abolition by gradual manumssion, which will de-
stroy il in twenty-One years He said further that
while there is a law in Brazil prohibiting colOred
men from settling there. special act would allow
the contractors to take into the Empire for the
purpose of building the railroad in question, con
ditiOn that these men be sent back to the United
states immediately upon its completion, Those who
desired to remain IN South America after the road is
built he said, could settle in Bolivia or Peru with

WASHINGTON May 9.-The demagOgues had their
hour in the House this morning Immediately after
the reading of the journal The friends of the Ia
boring men sprung up like mushrooms on the floor
when the Committee on Education and Labor re-
ported resolution to define the Eight hour Law,
and to provide for its enforcement. The resolution
in effect declared that the Eight hour Law should
be enforced, and that Government workmen should
receive ten hours pay for eight hours work 1t was
curious TO listen to the guments which these pro-
fessiOna friends Of the abOrer advanced in support
of their resolution. One class advocated II on the
philosophical ground that the labOrer can do as
much work in eight hours as in ten while another
class led by Mr.. s. s. COX supported 1t because, as
Mr.. Cox said by its passage opportunity will be
offered for the employment of One-fifth more men.
The Eight-hOur Law, which il is now proposed TO
enforce, provides that eight hours shall constitute
a days work for all Government labOrcrs and me-
chanics. The resolution to-day provides that while
said act remains on the statutes reduction shall
be made in the wages paid by the Government to
such laborcrs, wOrkmcn and mechanics account
Of the reduction of hours of labor per day. and that
all heads of Departments. officers anu agents OF the
Government hereby directed to enforce such law
as long as the same Is not repealed"

The recorded average is one great earth

one every five years Unusually high temperature and
strange atmospheric changes have been noticed as
precursors Of great convulsons especially in the earth
quake which desolated Yeddo in 1855. Mr.. Bingham
adds that there had been several shocks within two
