no MY SWEET FRIEND,


When through the crowded halls Of mirth
1 turn, from lonely thoughts TO fly,
And find the change Of little worth
Amid the throng alone on EARTH
For very sadness / could die.
But when thy pleasant face I see,
whose looks Of love 70 mine reply,
The world appears my W to be,
For though art all the world 70 neil
And l for very joy could die.
When youthful dreams forever dsd,
From memory claim the bitter sigh,
When long lost friends like specters tread,
'sThe cold, the faithless and the dead
l feel so Wretched l could die.
But when those eyes in which ! trace
The beauty of the starlight sky,
Look up so sWeetly in my face,
Alfondness and cOniding grace,
1 feel so happy l could die.
How sweet ii is for you TO know,
That there are hearts that over burn
With love for you where'er you go,
And though your pleasures more than min
Il is with gladuess / could die, ,

A sad and dramatic eviction took
place in County Wicklow to-day. An
old man named Arthur Kavanauqh,
in feeble health, who had a cabin on
the property of Earl Witzwilliam. had
fallen behind in his rent. A decree
Of eioctment was obtained by the earl
at the last Wicklow sessions. His
gamekeeper, with two bailifs. went to
execute the decree this afternoon.
They had to carry Kavanagh out Of
the house, and as he was crossing the
threshold Of his cabin the poor old
nan gave one gasp aad died in the
gamekeoper's 0rms. His body was
laid by the roadside. Over It for
hours sat his only mourner a grand,
drughter. Kayanagh had been
previously a carrier between Dublin
and Wicklow. He has been unable
to work for two years and was bed
ridden for some time.

F~Orty-twO Democratic Absentees


Correspondence Of the Courier-Journal.
EBBITT HOUSE,, WASHINGTON,
December IA, lS8O.-There are, l be-
lieve, 149 democrats in the present
house Of representatives. Some of
them are gentlemen Of very decided
ability, but where is the recognized
leader2 Can anybody, either here or
elsewhere, point him out? | speak
nothing but the naked truth when l
answer this question 10 the negative.
Is there any concert of action among
them2 fad to see it. 1t is an army
without a head, raw militia that will
not submit to a drill. Each man
seems to be going it on his own hook.
This is the reason why the Repub
lican minority will most probably
carry out their programme during this
session. 1t is TO let nothing pass that
they wish to defeat. They arc always
at their posts, while ten, fifteen OF
twenty democrats r frequently alb.
sent.
The fact that the republicans are t.
take control Of the house after the 4tf
of March renders Il important thai
the democrats should make hay Will,
the sun shines. They should let n,
measure fail that they believe to b.
conducive to the public veal. To Dc
this will take all their time and con
slant work. Yet | see in the RecorC
that, upon a motion made on FRIDAY
to adjourn oYer till Monday, forty-twC
democrats were absent. OF course
the motion prevailed.
1 learn there is no unanimity amonl
the democrats on the bill OF rule fol
counting the electoral votes. The re
publicans are united to a mar againsr
II. They will prolong the debate a
long as they can, vote for every ad
jOurnment, sustain every dilatorl
motion, and at last, after consuming
two or three weeks Of the session, thu
bill or rule will either be defeated OF
a direct vote or laid on the table
there to have no waking by this dem.
Oeratic house.
Again: The house resolved itsel
into committee of the whole on al
appropriation bill. At such a time !
is highly necessary that all the demo
Gratis should be in their seats, for the
are the responsible party. Be j
remembered that no vote is taken b
yeas and nays in committee on tn
whole. There is where the minority
unless every member Of the majorit
is present and voting On each amend
ment as it is offered, can make apprc
priations to suit themselves. Tn
absentees generally make thei
appearance when the bill is re
ported TO the house, but the
little know Of its provision
and, if informed, they have no ohanc
TO amend the bill, for the preyiou
question is called and no amendmen
is in order. Rather than stop tn
wheels of government they vote fo
the bill as amended by the committee
After a while they find that it contain
more than one appropriation that
exorbitant, and which was put Their
by the republicans In oommitte,
They are estopped by the yeas an.
nays in the journals from saying
word, and so are their democrati
friends at home.

The Yanoo Route and Texas.

The YazOO Route ana Texas.
The circular addressed to the citi-
zens Of Memphis by Colonel Lyon.
president of the Mobile and North
western railroad, has set many of our
business men and capitalists to think
ing. This railroad, starting out oppo-
site Helena, and running down the
rich interior, is already a success. II
begins at a landing and ends at the
front gate Of o big plantation. 1t was
built by a few subscribers who never
held any public meetings. They meant
business, not 5uneombe. This yalu.
able road can be brought to Memphi;
by a reasonable effort on the part o
our merchants, and it would become
At once a splendid feeder to our local
trade. 1t goes down into the heart Of
the Yazoo valley, the very richest sec.
tion of country in the world. Much
of its cotton and trade now goes out
BY way Of the YazoO river by Vicks
burg to New Orleans. The tide can
be turned the other way and brought
up the banks of the Mississippi river
to Memphis. People are apt TO trade
and buy their goods where they sell
their cotton. Memphis cannot build
great trunk lines; these must
come to us eventually. But we can
build up local feeders like this and
secure the business that belong to US,
and is likely to come here if it has
half a chance. The true policy for
Memphis is to secure first all the
cotton and trade within a radius Of
about one hundred miles Of the place.
This will bring prosperity and q
healthy grOwth-aside from all this
Colonel Lyons road offers another
route to Texas, through a rich ant
fertile country. We hope these fact,
will be considered by all who shar,
the belief that Memphis has q future
