THE DEVIL FISHING.

The devil sat by the rivers side
The streaia OF Time, where you'll always find
Casting his line in the rushing tide,
And landing the fish on the bank behind
him.
He sat at ease in n coy nook,
And was filling his basket very fast;
While you might have seen that his deadly
hook
Was differently baited for every cast.
He caught EN- as fast as a man could count;
Little or big, it was all the same.
One bait was cheque for round amount;
An Assemblyman nabbed it, and out he
came.
He took gem that as Saturn shone;
Ii sank IN the water without sound,
And caught woman who long WAS known
As the best aud purest for miles around
Sometimes he would laugh, and sometimes sing,
For better luck no ore could wish:
And he seemed u know, To Il dead sure thing,
The bait best suited to every tSa.
Quoth Satan: THE fishing is rare and fine, !"
And he took 4 drink, somewhat enthused;
And vet parson SWAIN rGunt the line
That cen the most tempting of bats refused.
He tried with his gold and flashing gems,
Hun. fame and fortune upon the line,
Dressing gowns with embroidered hens,
But still the Dominic made no sign.
A woman's garter went on the hook;
Il have him at last, quo.h the devil, bright
enIng;
Then Satans sides with laughter shook,
And he landed the preacher As quick as light

Our Washington Letter.

" tsHlNGTON, D. u, Oct - lSly-
EpTroK STATESMAN: There are now, for
the first time since spring, bat two members
of the cabinet absent Messrs Evarts and
McCrary. The former is IN New York, ard
the latter is supposed to be somewhere IN
Iowa. Mr.. Evarts is speaking in the interest
OF civil service reform, and advocates the
election of Cornell, who was deprived by
him Of {. federal office, also III the interest of
reform. At the cabinet meeting yesterday
the first for month or moreno business
was transacted. 1t will be remembered that
two Cf Mr.. Hayes early reform pledges were
that federal officers should be prevented
from interfering IN politics, and that he
would remain in Washington. IL ever two
pledges were violated these have been.
A very gratifying interest Is being shown
all over the country Ill the proposed celebra-
fion of the capture of Yorktown All really,
patriotic mem wish for a revival of interest
In the events OF those wars in which the
whole country was united against a common
enemy. | trust that not only will each state
and the federal government take official no
tice Of the coming event, but that munlci-
palities, societies, and the people generally
will aid Ill making the celebration Whal it
should be-
Now that the election in Ohio IS over, the
attention Of politicians is dire-ted specially
to the campaign going on IN New York.
Our late intelligence from that state fully
confirms the statements III our previous let
ters as regards the canvass there and its
probable result, which is that Governor Rob
inson IS constantly growing III strength, and
that the conservative and independent re-
publicans throughout the state who viii vote
for him viii exceed III number the followers
of Kelly The democratic state committee
are daily IL receipt Of letters from proml-
nent and well known republicans in the cen
tial and northern counties OF the state who
express determination to support Governor
Robinson. The GOV -rnOr character for hon
esty and integrity has been faily tested.
His entire official lie, whether as comp
troller Of the state or gOve-J:Cr has been III
the interest Of rei0rIn, and IN honest, eco
n"mcal administrator OF the government.
- ONO Seems to be bad state for Zach Chan
der They say he still has claim for
thousands of dollars expended IN placing Mr.
Hayes, of Ohio, III the white house, and on
hIs recent stumping tour in the western re-
serve OF that state, everything was stolen
from him but his clothigg. Ohio republicans
are an uncertain lot Of people-except on
election day. DEN.

RIDICULOUS ORDER-Erring Brother
Kew. postmaster-general, has get himself
into hot water. Lest the people should
forget that he, who declared on the tOor
Of the United States senate, IN the lest
week of February 1877, that S. J. Tilden
was elected president Of the United States,
was made acknowledgement by r. b
Haves the following week, he never tires
of issuing orders and making new postal
REGULATIONS. The latest Of these instructs
all postmasters and postal agents to send
70 the dead letter Office at Washington all
letters whose s,Iperscription does not bear
the name Of the state, as well as that OF
the postof.iee 10 which they are addressed
For instance if letter addressed to 81
S. Kailoch, mayor elect OF San Francisco,
is dropped IN here, or in the postal-car on
the railroad, instead OF being sent west to
is destination Keys order is obeyed-
il is sent east TO Washington It's classed
as unmailable matter, and although it
MAINLY indicates for whom it was intended,
it is sent to the deadletter Office 1t does
appear that Hayes postmaster-general was
rightly named when the papers dubbed
him " Erring Brother Key

OCRAY, THE Ute CHIEF Curay, the head
chief Of the Utes at the Uncompahgre, is an
Indian of remarkable ability. He has made
two visits L. Washington, and, seeing the
power and immense number of the whites,
has become in every sense of the word, a
peaceabie Indian. He hges IN : house, cul-
hvates some sixty acres of ground, has a
large flock OF sheep. wears the clothing OF a
white man, rides around In covered wagon
or carriage, and has largely adopted the
habits and customs Of civilization. He has
learned to sign his name and was in the
habit of sending letters direct to President
Grant stating his grievances and what he
wanted. His influence mas been all powerful
on the side Of peace, and that there has
been NJ collision between his people and
the whites l. entirely due to him He is
not, however, the hereditary head chief, but
became so some years ago through the force
Of character and the favor OF the Indian
agent. VINO acknowledged him as such Fre-
quent attempts have been made to assassin
ate him by the Indians themselves, espec-
tally those Of the hereditary chieftain blood,
who are jealous of his power and dissatisfied
with his change from the Old habits ard Gus
toms. The whites much dread that at some
time or other these attempts may succeed :;
there VIII be no restraining force, and the
bad Indians will get control OF the tribe 1t
VIII not be their numbers, bat the scattered
character oi the mining population, the nu-
merous mount2in hiding places and the IN
accessibility OF the ccGntry which viii make
them formidable enemies and the war pro-
tracted and expensive Many years ago the
Sioux captured the son OF Ouray, TO his great
grief, and. as he was taken prisoner and is still
living, he has made every effort 70 regain
HIM, but as Vet unsuccessiully. The govern
men. Oh. .;ht, as be thinks, TO assist him and
get the boy hack Ouray last year gave
strong proof of his determination 10 keep his
people quiet by the summary punishment
of 0-se- paw, Ute medicine chief, who was,
If possible, even more restless and trouble
some than Colorow He was constantly
travelling from the White River agency 10
the souther Ute country, exciting all the
Utes and endeavoring to get them TO join
him IN an attack upon the whites, claiming
that they had been detrauded by the Bruuot
treaty, and the whites ought not TO be
allowed to remain in the San Juan country.
0uray saw that he was getting quite strong
party ON his side, so to stop the trouble,
after an angry controversy, as he was isaY-
ing the council, IN the act OF mounting his
hoEse, O-se-paw was shot dead by order OF
Ouray.

THE Paraguayan government has I'M
posed a tax Of So year upon all single
men between the age OF % and 80.
Women are not taxed on the assumption,
no donbt, that many of them would get
married if they could, and are, therefore,
not TO blame for rot becoming wives.
The object is to make up for the loss of
population caused by the long and terri

TEgRIBLk TRAGEDY-A Seattle dispatch
dated October 9th, says: A terrible trag-
edy was enacted at Salmon bay, FIVE miles
below this city, last Friday evening. An
old man named James Lawson had some
time ago located with his family, including a
wife and three grand children, on a clam IN
that vicinity. Recently third patty named
Switzer Jumped the clnm. fling on the same,
and notifying lawson 70 vacate the premises
within specitied time Lawson, who had
made considerable improvement thereon, de-
termined to contest Switzer's fling and en-
ploved lawyer for this purpose, bnt finally
gave I'D the case as hopeless. On Friday,
the time having arrived for his compliance
with the notification above mentioned, the
old man became hopelessly despondent-
Early in the evening Tap was heard at the
door, and lawson, supposIng that the parties
hal arrived 20 take possession OF the place,
became greatly excited. Just then the re-
mort of a pistol was heard. Mrs. Lawson,
striking q Eight. found her husband pros
trate upon the floor, with blood issuing from
his mouth and side Seizing his hand, she
cried. "Oh. James, they have SHOT you.
NO he replied, Il did It myself. | could
not stand this any longer, ana soon alter
expired. S.sitoer tocs possession Of the prem
ises today, whereGpon the settlers waited
upon kfm in body and notified HIM to can
eel his filings at once or there would be
trouble. 1t is the general opinion, however,
that Swltzer's proceedings were entirely le-
gitimate.

120 miles across, into Holland, stopping
at Rotterdam, The Hague, HARLEM, Am
sterdam-and now will close this letter at
one of the oldest cities in Europe, CO.
Iogne. We are somewhat behind in our
notes, but will try and catch up in our
next.
A few remarks in regard to the eoun-
try, the people, and their manners and
customs: We came to this country almost
determined in our mind that we would
not be satisfied with the system of rail-
roading here; but, after travelling some
1900 miles by rail in Great Britain, and
on the Continent, we must admit, with
few exceptions, that the compartment
system is superior to our own. The cars
are divided either into two or five COM
partments. Those in two compartments
are called saloon ears, with seats on sides
and ends, and table in the center, with
doors on both sides, and the first-class-
which the party always had, for they
range 1st, I'd and Sd class-are richly up
holstered with crimson plush, with head
and arm rests. The ffve-compaatment
cars seat eight persons only, with seats
facing. The SalOon-cars seat eight per-
sons. The windows are large, the glass
dropping down when open.
The houses in Scotland are built of
stone, invariably, as are also the fences. In
England, the houses are of brick, and
hedge fences. In Holland, the houses are
built of brick, the fences being Il wide
ditch filled with water. This country is
really lower than the sea. Dykes are
built to keep the land from being over
flowed. 1t is very green and fertile, and
hay, cattle and sheep seem to be the staple
articles of production. The tower wind
mills, for grinding grain, loom up on all
| sides-ten or a dozen can be seen at one
view, for this country is perfect level,
and, with the exception of a tree similar
to our marsh-willow, and the lime tree,
which are cultivated here extensively
there is nothing to obstruct the view as
| far as the eye can see. The river Rhein,
thus far, is not unlike the lower Missis-
sippi-with no banks. We crossed it once,
cars and all, on a ferry. Germany is
more level than Fayette county. A beau
tiful garden landscape, with three or four
towns or cities in sight all the time. Nc
division fences of any kind. Rye is being
cut, but wheat and oats are still green,
but headed out. We leave Cologne by
boat up the Rhein this morning, July 21st
