CHANpLHR's FRIENDS following is
Brick Pomeroy's account of United States
Senator Chambers death: As the truth comes
out, it appears that Zachariah Chandler was
killed or murdered, and this by his friends,
or those who protested to be his friends, but
who were in reality his enemies. Since out
on the campaigns, he has met men who i'm
portuned him to drink various kinds of
liquors. As they insisted, he partook till his
system became more than full of alcoholic
poison. In Chicago, he was filed so full that
she night of hls death, instead of disrobing
and quietly seeking rest and relaxation, he
threw himself fully dressed upon a bed, in
reality much the worse for liquor, and died in
this condition. So it is that Hon. Zach.
Chandler was in reality murdered, not by his
friends, because they never ask a man to make
beast of himself or to rob his life of its
strength, but by those who are continually i'm
portuning a man to drink, drink, drink, until
he is drunk drunk, drunk. 1t was not work
that killed this man OF great brain power. He
died from the effects of liquor, and his death
can be laid at the door of every man who asked
him to drink. These protested friends are the
real murderers of Zach Chandler.

A NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

The American Union Telegraph Company
has started ont with a capital of $40, OO0, 600,
to compete with the Western Uuion Telegraph
Company, at present the most gigantic tele-
graph monopoly in the world. On different
occasions, combinations have been made
against the Western Union for the purpose of
breaking lis prestige, but the opposition have
been invariably compelled to succumb and go
out of existence. The new company will
doubtless prove the most formidable oppO-
nent that has ever entered the lists against
the monopoly. In addition to its vast capital,
there are no new appliances in modern tele-
graphy which it does not control. Automatic
iuples and qusdruplex systems of the latest
types are among its resources, and III very
short time the officers expect to have one of
the most complete systems ever constructed,
in full operation II is to be hoped that the
public will give the new company substantial
patronage and back it up in its battle against
the old one. The present tariff on Geographic
m, Stages is ultra geously eyhorbitant, and the
system of delivering and receiving messages,

few miles apart, the rails frequently beat the

heavy tribute TO the Associate Press Company
for dispatches, and many a paper has been

The old com ,,any is slow to adopt improve

Nor BAD FOR JoHN.-An evening or two
since some frogs were being killed preparatory
to their being served up to some bon p.pants
at one of our leading restaurants. The little
animals were made to give up the ghost by be-
ing pierced through the spine with the small
blade of knife. At the prick of the I" bare
bodkin," the majority of the frogs gave but a
gasp, a culver or two, and all was over. One
little fellow, however, behaved differently.
On receiving the fatal thrust he sat upright,
calmly folded his hands across his breast, and
with eyes upturned to heaven, stiffened in
death. Seeing this, q Chinaman who was
looking on was much affected. "Poo' fog,

AS though mine image in the glass
Should tarry when myself am gone.

Until mine eyes almost aver
That now even now, the sweet lips part
To breathe the words of the sweet heart
And yet the earth is over her.
Last night at last could have slept,
And yet delayed my sleep till dawn,
Still wandering. Then it was wept;
For unawares came upon
Those glades where once she walked with me;
And as I stood there suddenly
An wan with traversing the night,
Upon the desolate verge Of light
Yearned loud the iron-bosomed sea.
Even SO, where heaven holds breath and hears
The beating heart Of Loves own breast
Where round the secret Of all spheres,
All angels lay their wings to rest
How shall my soul stand rapt and awed,
When, by the new birth born abroad
Throughout the music Of the suns,
It enters in her soul at once
And knows the silence there for God!
Here with her face doth memory sit
Meanwhile, and wait the days decline,
Till other eyes shall look from IL,
Eyes Of the spirits Palestine,
Even than the old gaze tenderer;
While hopes and aims long lost with her
Stand round her image side by side,
Like tombs of pilgrims that have died
About the holy sepulchrs.

junction of the month takes places be-
