THE LOVE OF MOTHER.
BY EDWARD AXIOM.

A rolling chaos hides human life,
sea whose pillows are passions and strife.
Lo Hatred writes with bloody pen
Its autograph, bold, 'nongst mcnl
Eh Trcachery reels from the altar of heart,
And the trembling soul strings from envy smart
What is The existence funeral tune,
Or night with q storm clouded moon.
But, alas through the horrors appcars one
thing
Whose great nobility may sing.
1t shines midst shame and egolism, bright,
As Venus appears in The bowling night
II wcakcns not in Life's battle roar,
And 1t is net stained by the reeking gore.
0, Love of Mother thy pure fresh fountains
Through desert flow from celestial mountains.
Thy history, written on plates Of gold,
Is in Heavens own language told.
Like the blood as it flows through the life Civ
ing air
Thou art warm and like Mary's thy forehead
is fair.
Like the sun beams thy glance Is refreshing
and pure,
Like the maid of Orleans thou all may'st en-.
durc.
Thy praise may ring, as my Songs refrain
Like the Goddess once, whose children were
slain
Transformed as O stone, not her tears ceased
to flow
No corruption viii smother thy immortal glow,
To behold thy face am glad was born.
It refreshcs my soul when Ills pierced by the
thorn
Whilst the pulse that beats in my being with
glee
Wit kiudle an incense for thee.

AN FA STERN LAND SCHEME.

A company has been incorporated
in New York city under the title of
the Long Island Land-lmprovement
Company, the object being to induce
foreign immigrants TO settle on the
waste and worthless lands Of Long
Island. which are to be sold "on
time" by the company. With the
counivance Of the Commissioners Of
Emigration and the Long Island
railroad companies, it Is believed
that the immigrants best supplied
with money can be induced to cast
their lot amid the boys and briers OF
Long Island, at eStrayagant cost, in
stead of coming to the great West
and securing from 100 to $40 acres
Of the richest kind Of prairie soil

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, March 18th, 1880.


to give time for enrolment of bills,
and the action of the Governor the
session will nominslly continue IN.
til Monday noon. In many respects
the Legislature of 1880 will be mem
oriable. The passage Of the resolu-
tons favorable to biennial sessions
and female suffrage, and the defeat
Of the bill to restore the death pen
atty, are the measures Of greatest
general Importance acted upon, and
the wisdom of the action taken on
these viii 60 far toward counter
balancing oil the frivilous, nnwise
and discreditable things done and
attempted.
A resume of the work of the ses-
sion is impractical ia the time and
space at our disposal. All attempts
to interfere with the interest laws,
which met with great favor in the
Assembly, were given their quietus
/ in the more conservative Senate; so
the laws Of interest remain as they
have been for many years past,
which we think is no misfortune,
although the unmistakeable desire
of the people for a reduction was
sufficient to justify trial of the eS-
pertinent, which it would seem could
do but little if any harm.
The failure of any action to cor
rect the crying injustice of taxation
on encountered property, is in our
! Judgment, matter for far more regret
than the defeat of iDterest-reduction
The difficulty of the problem, and
the manifold theories of solution
which could not be harmonized. were
the causes of failure to effect any
thing where all agreed that something
was necessary.
In failing to provide q remedy
for eXtravagant and unsatisfactory
| management of our charitable and
penal institutions, the Legislature
again negatively sinned seriously
With the evidence before it of the
evils resulting from the system Of
sending State prisoners for long
| terms to the Milwaukee House Of
Correction, the Senate refused po8it-
lively to pass the necessary measure
suggested and urged by the State
Board of Charities and Reform. In
the face Of damuing proofs Of ex-
travagauce, corruption and incompe-
tency III tAe management of our in
sane bsylums, nothing was done of
. corrective character, but most
litera6le appropriations made for
their continuance in the hands IN
der old rules.
Fully the usual number of steals
in various CARDS, were before the
legislature, and more got through
than ought to of course. Except
the one appropriating about SO, goo
acres Of the State lands TO q mythical
railroad, however, the amount of
stealings is insignificant. The Mills
and Morgan l.. Martin claims, and
others Of odorous character were
among those defeated.
Political figuring was prominent
feature Of the session. The Presl-
Dental situation naturally received
large share Of attention; the frieudS.

candidates being active ana Jealous.

Strikers Resuming Work.

Strikers ReSum1ng WORK.
NEWARK, N. j., March 31-Ths strikers at
Clarks thread works resumed work today, as
also did the men in Webef's piano factory in
New York.
No Prospect of Settlement at Cohoes.
Troy, March 31.-Today ends the first week
of the Cohoes strike. In wages $780, 900 have
been lost, and the questions leading to the
movement are apparently no nearer settle
ment than at the beginning.
Another mass meeting of strikers was held
last night on the corner of Willow and Welt
Streets John Brown, the shoe maker orator
of Albany, made an hours address. He adj
vised adherence to the demands made. The
speaker was frequently interrupted by cries of
"Down with tyrant Murray We will never go
we ask is fair play"
At the conclusion of Browns remarks the
following resolution was adopted:
ReSolUed, That we, the weavers in the en-
ploy Of the Harmony Mills, will not resume
work until the demands of the spinners have
been acceded to.
On returning home from work last night
working weavers were pelted with stones. The
miscreants were boys in hiding. Several girls
were hit by the missiles, but no serious injury
was inflicted. Later in the night young man
named Forbes, an employe in the bag mill,
was assaulted by three men and roughly han
died. No arrests. This morning there were
800 weavers at work and 1900 looms in opera
tlOn. In NO. D mill elSnI SoIS Oh mules are
running. 1t is estimated the filling on hand is
sufficient to keep the present number looms
employed week. At the end of that time if
the strikers do not return to work the Harmo-
ny Company's officials state that they will in
augurate a lockout, subsequently starting one
mill at time and increasing operations as rap
idly as the help obtained will permit. The
idea of an influx of French Canadian help is
denied by the company. Extensive arrange
ments are being made by the strikers for meet
ing Saturday. Mr. Mcdonald of Paterson, N.
j., will be the orator. Vice President Duer-
den of the Weavers' Union emphatically de-
MED the charges of selling the union, made
against Samuel Sault, President of the organi-
zation.
A Strike Probably Averted.
BAYoNNE, n j., March 31.-Six hundred
men of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal dock,
Port johnson, yesterday demanded an increase
of wages to 20 cents an hour. Most Of the men
accepted Is cents, but strike may still occur.

NEW YORK, March 31.-The Times SYRIA

engage in bitter fight in this city on April 20,
and that the day will be a marked one in the
history of political conventions in Syracuse
The Tilden State Committee succeeded on
Monday in securing full control of the Globe
and Vanderbilt hotels, and made a contract
with the landlords whereby no Kelly man is to
be given room in the buildings. The Tilden
men also secured the Wieting Opera-house as
the place for holding the convention.
The Tammany men, however, were up and
doing, and orders came from John Kelly yes
terday to secure hall and hotel conveniences,
regardless of cost, for April 20. The local SYM
pathizers of Kelly succeeded in making con-
tract with the proprietors of the Congress,
Remington, Temperance and Empire hotels,
whereby it was stipulated that Mr.. Kelly and
his friends should have the exclusive use of
those hotels. The latter hotel is the largest in
the city. Mr.. Kelly, therefore, will have am
pie hotel accommodations for his friends. The
local Tammany committee also secured the
Grand Opera-house for Mr.. Kelly's convention.
This opera-house is an elegant new theatre,
and will seat 1000 persons The Kelly con-
vention will, therefore, be called to meet in
this city on the same day that the Tilden con-
vention meets, and the attempts of the Tiiden
managers to shut the doors of Salt Point against
Kelly and his friends have signally failed.

The Mayor Of New Lisbon, Ohio, Says
that Nine-Tenths OF the Republicans
are for Blaine.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - The following
letter from j. M. Dickinson, Mayor of New
Lisbon, Ohio, has been received here by the
chairman of the Blaine Club:
Kind Sir:-It might not be uninteresting to
you to know of the Blaine pulsltion in our
town. We held our township (Centre) Repub-
lican primary last Saturday, 9th inst, at my
office. We polled 315 votes, and we took the
straws on Presidential first choice, in which
we found for Grant q Sherman 1; Hayes 1 !;
Blaine 81. From diligent inquiry from diff
ferent parts of the county we find about nine
tenths of the masses of the Republican party
are stalwart Blaine men.
Some talk 'Blaine or nobody" True, some
old-time politicians who are reluctant to let
go their hold on a once willing constituency,
talk for others, but it is like talking to the
eternal hills-unheeded.
You can make any use of this you see pro-
per to forward the irresistible pressure of the
masses demanding the nomination of jas eS
G.. Blaine for President of the United States
at Chicago June next.

Democracy of your county as to the advisable
ity of nominating Tilden?
Fifty-seven respond against and thirteen
favor.
Kansas for Blaine.
ST. LOUIS, March 31.-A private dispatch
from Topeka says: The vote for tchairman of
the State convention stood 1877 to Ill. This is
regarded as the test of the full strength of
Blaine and Grant.
1.-THE above dispatch is so obscure that it
cannot be determined with absolute certainty
from it whether the majority of the conven-
tion is for Grant or Blaine. There is little
doubt however but it is for the latter. 1t was
generally supposed that it would be and the
arrangement of the figures and names in the
dispatch points that way.
