A REMARKABLE POEM.

II is supposed that the following
remarkable poem appeared in the
81. Helena Magazine.
1t may be new to most of our
readers. Ii relates to the early
services of the English officers in
India, they being moved down
by the pestilence. 1t is a fine IL
lustration of despair:
REVELRY IN INDIA.
''We meet meath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare,
As they shout TO our peals of laughter;
1t seems that the dead are there.
But stand to your glasses steady
We drink 10 our comrades eyes
Quaff cup to the dead already:
And hurrah for the next that dies.
'Not here in the goblets glowing;
Not here is the vintage sweet;
IT'S cold as our hearts are growing,
And dark as.the doom we meet.
But stand to your glasses steady
And soon shall our pulses rise

Hurrah for the next that dies.

Not tear for the friends that sink;
Well fall midst the wine cups. sparkle,
AS mute as the wine we drink.
So stand to your glasses steady

Hurrah for the next that dies.

ELIGIBILITY OF ELECTORS.

An important movement is now under
way in Washington to prevent any oc-
casion for disputes regarding the eligi-
bility of Republican candidate for presi-
Dental Electors this year, and to see that
the returns are made up in compliance
with all the technicalities. A committee
is being organized, which will examine
carefully into the eligibility Of every per-
son nominated as a Garfield Elector, to
make sure that nobody is voted for who
holds an United States commission or
who has ever held, one without having
his resignation formerly accepted. 1t is
also proposed to secure copies Of the auth
orized forms on which the returns of
elections are required to be made in each
State, and to place a copy in the hands
of a competent Republican at every
voting precinct in the close States, who
would see that the returns were made up
according to law, or promptly report any
mistake or attempt at fraud.

A CHIEFS CAREER.

DENVER, COL, August 41.-Ouray, in
telling the story of his life, says that he
was born in Taos valley, New Mexico,
near the Pueblo village Of that name, in
1889. His tribe Of Utes was in the hab-
it of spending much of its time in the
Taos valley and San Luis Park and among
the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Down
in this region they were accustomed to
meet the Apaches, who come up from the
north. Ouray's fahter married an Apache
woman.
The Indians became so accustomed to
associating with the Mexicans that some
Of them began to adopt the customs of
this people, and when Ouray's father and
mother came to the conclusion that they
wanted to bemarried, they quietly march
ed up to the little odobe church which
stands on the hill, in the village at Red
River Crossing, and had the priest per-
form the ceremony. And when Ouray
was born, they took him to the same
adobe building and had him baptized in
to the Catholic Church-the only
instance on record of the kind
Ouray had three brothers and two sis
tiers, but he survived all of his brothers,
while both of his sisters still live, one of
them near the home Of the chief on the
Uncompahgre, and the other is Susan,
the wife of chief Johnson, of the White
River tribe, who SO signally distinguish
ed herself in her kindness to the meeker
women and Mrs. Price while they were
captives among the tribe.
Although baptized into the Catholic
Church, Ouray die not profess the White
mans religion. Senoughbase is the Ute
god and in him Ouray believed.
Ouray lived at his present home on the
Oncompahgre and in that vicinity dur
ing the past twenty-three years, having
resided, previous to establishing himself
at that point, in New Mexico. Chopela
his wife, is his second, his first having
been the mother of his boy and also of
girl child now dead. Ouray lived in a
good style. He owned farm, which is
a real garden spot, of 300 acres. Of
this he cultivated about 100 acres, raising
all kinds of cereals and vegetables.

Observation-Disclosures
ETIR
From the London Examiner

A first step toward the re-establishment
of the Russian naval station at Sebasto-
pol has just been accomplished by the re-
moval thither from Nicolaeff of the great
floating dock and the machinery Of sew
eral of the workshops of the dockyard.
AS soon as the new naval barracks are
finished the greater part of the naval
brigade at Nicolaef' will follow, and, in
the course Of few years, Russia hopes
to be as strongly established at Sebasto-
pol as she was previous to the Crimean
war. Of course the shattered city can
not be reconstructed in a day, and it
will take time to remove the traces of the
most terrible bombardment the world has
perhaps witnessed but in country like
Russia, where Government labor is cheap
and plentiful, and funds can be obtained
without the obstructive medium of a
meddlesome Parliament, the ultimate re-
storation of Sebastopol to it's original
grandeur is not an impossible matter, and
the only thing that may delay the task
may be the belief that the impending an
nexation of Constantinople will deprive
the Crimean fortress of its raison a. 'etro.
Of course we English patriotically be-
ieve the time to be far distant when the
two-headed eagle shall flap its wings over
the palaces and mosques of Tsargrad, but
all nations do not think alike, and Russia
imagines the conquest of Constantinople
to be nearer than is generally believed
in western Europe.

LIFE OF GEN. GARFIELD.

Gen. ]. S. Brisbin, of the United States
Army, whose reputation as an author,
made in the production Of number of
popular books, is no less sbrilliant than
his career as q soldier, has prepared for
the press an exhaustive life of Gen. Gar
field, which is destined to rank as the
standard work on that subject. It is pre-
pared with the special consent and assist
ance of Gen. Garfield himself, the author
and the subject having been intimate and
lifetime friends. These facts will give
the book not only the utmost fullness of
statement but absolute correctness.
There is fascination in following the
career Of this man. 1t is a grand illus
tration of what can be accomplished by
lofty aspirations sustained by determined
will, energy and courage Beginning
life without advantages Of education,
money, family or friends; with no promise
Of future, save thatto be wrought by bold,
persistent work-he made his way against
obstacles and perjudices such as few men
have ever encountered. And his triumph
is complete. 1t is grand illustration of
human achievements, unaided by cir
cumstances. And valuable feature in
his career, is-that it strikingly illustrates
to every man and boy that there are ex-
cellent possibilities in his reach if he will
go about the accomplishment in direct,
consistent and determined way. The
lesson of his life is an encouraging one.
Gen. Garfield has figured prominently
and infuentially in most of the stirring
and exciting events in our countrys
history for the past twenty years, and
this biography will be a valuable history
of that important period which will be a
work of more than passing value, and
hence different from the ordinary Cam
paign Book 1t is illustrated, and is sold
by subscription through canuassing agents
to whom it affords rare chance to make
money. 1t is being published by the
well known house Of HUBBARD BROS,
36 La Sale Street, Chicago, Ill.

OLD SITTING BULL.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sep. 4.Major Walsh, of
the Northwestern Mounted police, station
ed in Manitoba, to guard the Indian
frontier has been here several days. The
camp Of Sitting Bull has been within his
command ever since the escape of that
chieftain and his tribe after the Custar
massacre He was shown the recent dis
patches regarding the Indians who are
coming into the American party He
says that Sitting Bull promised him that
he would place no obstacle in the way of
any of his tribe who desired to return to
the United States. He thought it very
likely that the Indians had banded to-
gether to hunt the buffalo, in which case
no one is allowed to Withdraw without
the council deciding to abandon the hunt.
Buffalo are reported as being frequently
met on the south side Of the Missouri, and
it is probably that some Of the Indians
desired to cross that stream to hunt them,
which Sitting Bull had refused to allow,
suspecting that this was their attention,
although they declared they were anxious
to return to the United States. Sitting
Bull is described by Major Walsh as be-
ing the most plucky, intelligent and ener-
getic savage living, and that he will new
er consent to surrender unconditionally
to the United States authorities. He is
48 years Of age, and has had five wives,
three of whom are now living. He has
a family, consisting Of three daughters
and one son.

THE UTES.

WASHINGTON, D. O., August 91.-A
dispatch from Colonel Meacham, of the
Ute Commission, dated Los Pinos, 2Sth,
states: "The crisis in the Ute affairs has
passed. Seventy Uncompahgre and
White River head men and chiefs placed
their bands under the direction of the
agent. They have accepted Sapovonari
as chief; have agreed to preserve Ouray's
property intact, and to proceed immedi-
ately to complete the ratification and en-
rollment of the new treaty. You need
have no fears. Agent Berry is equal to
the emergency, and has the confidence
of the Utes at Los Pinos and White river.
They are anxious for peace

THE JAMAICA HURRICANE

BALTIMORE, September 6.-The Calves
ton news letter of the 9th contains furth-
er particulars of the storm which devast-
ated Jamaica. Utter destruction follow
ed the storm and the damage could not
be estimated. In the Up-Park Camp the
prisoners were released to save their lives,
threatened by falling buildings. Two
women were killed at Glengofe by a
house falling upon them, and at New
Castle one soldier, and three women were
reported killed. Not a green leaf is to
be seen for miles, and twenty years will
be required to restore the place to the
condition which existed before the
storm.

CAMPAIGN IN WISCONSIN.

MILWAUKEE, September 2.-Mr. Chair
man Baker, of the Republican State
Central Committee, says that his
plans are nearly perfected for vigorous
and aggressive campaign in Wisconsin
this fall, and that the close Congressional
districts of the State are to have the at
tention that their Importance demands.
He does not propose to rely upon the
splendid Republican majority or &c, 600
that was rolled up for the ticket last FALL
but will conduct the present campaign
with the same vigilance as though the
State was in doubt. Except the First
Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Districts
now represented by Williams, Bragg,
Humphrey and Pound respectively, the
remaining five are so close that they are
considered fair fighting ground by both
parties. Thus, in the Second (Madison)
District, Caswell's majority was always
small and at the last election was 700
less than the combined vote of Davis
(Democrat) and Tenney (Greenbacker).
The Democrats always hope to carry it,
but the Republicans always carry it..
In the Third District MIR. HaZelton's S ma
jority two years ago was only 200 over
Owen King, the democrat and Green
hacker. This Fall there is to be no fus-
ion, but each party will run its own cam
didate. Mr. Hazleton has been already
nominated by the Republicans, and the
Rev. Mr.. Jones, a Baptist minister, has
been set up by the fatists. The Demo
Gratis think of nominating Judge NJ. NJ.
Cothern as their candidate Last Fall
Governor Smiths majority in the Third
District was over 5000, and there is no
good reason why Hazelton should not
carry it by as large a majority. Senator
Logan is going into the district to make
one speech.
But the greatest interest centers in
this, the Fourth District, now represented
by Deuster (Dem.) who was elected two
years ago by only 129 majority. At the
Gubernatorial election last Fall Smith
carried the district by handsome vote
over Jenkins, the democratic candidate.
Both parties have taken Off their
coats, and both are determined TO elect
their candidate.
The Fifth District is regarded as hope
lessly Democratic, and General E. S.
Bragg, the present member, will probab-
ly be reelected But the Republicans
Of the Sixth District, now represented by
Gabe Bouck, have taken the contract to
redeem it and retire Mr. Bouck to the
shades of his Oshkosh law office. The
talk now is of running ex-senator limo
thy O. Howe as the Republican candidate
and the nomination would be an exceed
ingly strong one.
Congressmon Williams, of the First
District, has gone up into Maine to aid
the Republicans, and in return Eugene
Hale and Congressman Frye have prom
to speak in Wisconsin. Burrows, OF
Michigan, has promised to make five or
six speeches during the progress Of the
campaign. II the Republicans of Wis
consin can lessen the democratic majority
in the next Congress by two, they will
deserve the thanks of the whole people.

The three counties of Dane Rock and
Jefferson raise nearly all the tobacco in
the State, and the little village of Edger-
ton, in Rock county, on the line of the
St. Paul Railroad, is the center where the
buyers and sellers congregate to deal in
the weed This year the crop is one of
the largest ever raised in that section
Buyers are already in the field offering
to make contracts at and 81 cents.
Some idea ofthe profit of tobacco-culture
may be formed when it is known that a
good yield per acre is about ], 900 pounds,
which, at the current price to-day, would
bring the farmer $12S. 1t is estimated
that over $l,000,000 will be paid for
tobacco this year in Wisconsin.
Belgium has no national literature, in
part for the good reason that the people
are poor book-buyers and read very little.
A literary congress is being held in Brus-
sells to discover what will foster native lit
erature, and these questions are being
discussed: Fist, the rights of authors.
Second, the prospects of literary men.
Does the government, by offering prizes,
granting subvations, and subscribing to
new publications, attain the object of
bringing forward literary talent? Can
the publishing trade be SO organized as
ITO increase the circulation of native pro-
ductions in and out of the country?
What provision can be made for men of
letters and their families? Third, the
role of literature in education. Ought
contemporary literature to form part Of
classical education? How can the teach
ing OF modern languages be improved?
How can lectures, readings, and public
libraries be made more useful? What
ought to be the Office Of the press as re-
CARDS literary criticism? Fourth, litera-
ture considered as an art.
