WHERE EARTH AND HRAyRN Met

Whether between lie meadows green.
Whrre sun and shadow play;
Or silent snow fields intervene,
With trees Of leafie-s gray:
Or stately hills send down supplies
To blue lakes at their feet
Beyond them all. seek the line
Where earth and heaven meet.
tbs there the ficecy clouds come forth,
To sail upon the sky;
And there the Summer showers arise,
When all the fields are dry;
And thence into my thirsty heart
Come Thoughts both sad and sweet.
When gazing on that distant line
Where earth and heaven meet.
Sometimes remote il seems. and dim,
Through earthly mists that rise;
Again. distinct and clear il stands
Before my longing eyes

Where do they dwell Meath grassy mounds daisies
Lilies, and yellow cups of fairrst gold.
Near the gray grown walls where in wild
Old clustering ivy wreathes in many q fold
Where. in red Summer noons
Fresh leaves rustling:
Where, meath large Autumn moons

Where do they dwell In sullen water lying.
On beds of purple sea flowers sprung;
Where the mad whrpoals wind and c-aseless sghinz-
Frets sloping banks by dark green reeds o'erhung;
Where by the torrents swell
Crystal stones glitter,
Where sounds the heavy bell
Over the river
Do they dwell there
No: for in these they sumber To decay,
And their remembrance. with their life, departs;

Their happy spirits wed,
Loving forever;

The Origin of the Bloody Shirt Phrase

The caves of Scotland are 50 many that we
can only refer to some of the most Interesting,
and these can not be taken in regular order, but
as they may come into the narration. They are
found east, west, north and south, inland and
along all the sea-cOasts. One of the most stir
ring tragedies of Scottish story, namely, the
sassination of the Benny Earl of Moray, cousin
of King James VI, is associated with cave
near QueensferTy. in Fife. deadly clan feud
had long existed between the Earls of Moray and
Huntly-thr former Stewart, the latter Cor
don. One of the Earls, a Huntly, and his son.
had been defeated, captured, and executed, and
their estates contiscated But after the lapse of
| thirty years, these lands had been restored to
another son, who also obtained all his fathers
titles Another Earl of Moray had succeeded
his father, and these two Earls had never
gagged in any personal feud. But the spirit of
revenge not dead. The of the slain
Huntly hated the son of his fathers foe. Young
Moray was one of the handsomest men in Scot
land, and a popular favOrite, for in deeds of
arms he had no superior in Europe, excepting
the Admirable Crichton. He was of great stat
ure, strength and agility, but was courteous and
gentle, and desired to have the feud with the
Gordons amicably settled. Huntly pretended
desire for friendship, and Moray was allured to
come 10 Donibristle Castle with small retinue
While here Gordon secretly assembled strong
party of his followers, attacked the castle at
night, and set il fire. Its few inmates re-
solved to make desperate effort to escape, and
sallying out, sword in hand, Moray fed toward

followed by his foes; his long tresses raging
with fire, and being wounded and severely
scorched. there they assassnated the BOnny
Earl of Moray-the leading murderer being Cor
don of Buckle. This savage and treacherous
deed excited the whole kingdom and yell of
eNecration went up from all the people. We
hear to-day great deal said about ''The Bloody
Shirt, but most of those who the term do
not know what it originally meant. Lord
Forbes the friend of Moray. armed his vessel

and the Barons of Mcintosh, Grant and Loyat,

Scales. striking out the appropriation for sup
port of such police, Mr.. Haskell inquired what
was the animus which prompted the amend
ment. Was the scheme to turn the whole from
tier over to the scalping knife of the savage?
Mr.. Scales said his object was to protect both
the Indians and the white man. He was OPP
posed to the idea that the agent should be
given power to strike down the emigrant or
Indian without any limit except his own will,
and it was to that power he wished to put a
stop. The amendment was rejected.
On motion of Mr.. Ryan, KS, an amendment
was adopted, providing that before purchases
of supplies of Indians are made at least six
weeks notice shall be given.
On motion of MIR. Wellborn an amendment
was adopted prohibiting officers or agents of
the army or Indian bureau from giving per-
mission to any Indian, of any reservation, to
go into the State of Texas.
Mr.. Downey offered an amendment empower
ing the secretary of the interior, after June
Both, 1881, to apportion and locate different In
dian tribes in the several States and Territories
in due proportion to the area of land IN each
State, and investing them with all the rights
of citizenship. Rejected.
Mr. Hooker submitted an amendment trans
ferring the Indian bureau from the interior to
the war department, such transfer not to take
effect until the expiration of the next fiscal
year.
Messrs. Haskell and Conger rose to point
of order against the amendment. Pending
discussion of the point of order the committee
rose. Next Tuesday evening was set apart for
the consideration of pension bill on the private
and the House adjourned.

The Vine Street School House.

The contractor, john Seeger, in excavating
for the foundation for the Vine street school
house has encountered difficulty. From the
lay of the land he finds the excavation flooded
with water, and blasting in the rock is wholly
prevented IN consequence. Besides there
seem to be seeping springs which flood even
the rock as it is upturned stratum by stratum.
At his solicitation the committee on property
of the board of education called meeting of
the board yesterday afternoon. A quorum
didn't respond, but the subject was pretty
we'll understood informally,
Mr. Seeger explained that work could not
progress unless drill hole and sewer
connection was made with the
Western avenue sewer. The school
house could not be built without this sewer
connection, and he did not suppose the board
contemplated that his contract to build Vine
street school house called for the construction
of sewer.
Inspectors Benz, Abbott and Rice thought
the board should see to building the sewer as
it would be wanted as much after the building
was erected, as to erect it.
quired the contractor to build the school house.
and If it was, as it had been, found necessary
TO make drains it devolved upon the contractor
to do it. But under the circumstances, as the
drain wesSld be of use after the building was
finished, he was willing to share the expenses
of the sewer with the contractor.
The question came up as to what additional
expense would be entailed. The figures varied
from 81 200 to $3.50, the latter figures being ac-
cording to Mr.. Seeger's reckoning. This talk
all occurred while waiting for members to
make q quorum, but none struggling In, the
board adjourned until next Monday at o'clock

THE GALLOWS.
FAucETr AND MuLpRow.

FAUCETT AND MULDROW.
ST. LOUIS, April 16.-Nathan Faucet and
Jacob Muldrow, two mulattoes, were hanged at
Mexico, Mo, to-day for the murder of Octave
Juls, young man we'll known in this commu-
nifty, Sept. 80, 1879. They rested we'll last
night and eat a hearty breakfast this morning.
At o clock the procession left the Jail for the
place of execution, followed by several thou
sand people. The scaffold was reached at 40
P NJ and was ascended by the doomed men
with calmness. Catholic services were per-
formed by the attending priests, the black caps
adjusted at 80 and at 2:O5 precisely the trap
was sprung and the wretched men ushered into
eternity.
The crime for which these men were hanged
was committed about mile from Mexico, and
was one of the most cold blooded and unpro-
voked murders ever perpetrated. The trouble
originated about white woman. who is now
awaiting trial, and with whom Juls and the ne
groes cohabited.
