SLAIN By THE GREAT FAMINE.

Is Il the moan Of the northern wind
Through the hearts OF trees,
The tremulous trees.
or the pleading plant ofthe wounded hind
That fsints on the brcc1ei
Is il the tiirye the sid sea sings,
The qucnlous sea,
Old whitc.haircd sea;
or the bursting heart the torrent filings
Down recklesSlyl
Is IL the wall of spirit lost,
So starilinely sad,
Sounding so Aad;
Or the midnight shrek OF unhuried ghost,
sorrow gone mad!
Io, Ills the mothers heart broken cry
Der her only child,
Her pale dead child;
Cr,i. he'd when the foot OF famine swept by
Where plenty once smiled.
But swim on the wings OF the western breeze,
Americas heart,
Her grand. warm heart,
Sends greeting and cheer across the seas
To still deaths dart.
Thus will we bind In one strong strand
The old world and new,
Old loves TO the new;
And Irelands sons IN this free land

The weakness which has led Egypt to
part with prlnceless relics of antiquity,
at the importantly of foreigners, is de-
rIded, even by those who profit by it,;
but Prof. Baird intimates that American
ignorance, or indifference, operating like
Egyptian weakness, is allowing our
country to be robbed of some of it's own
valuable antiquities. Speaking of the
large archaeological collection lately sent
from the coast of California, Oregon, and
Alaska to Paris. and the new French ex-
pedition Tanned for Arizona and New
Mexico. this is his language:
I'VE may at least anticipate foreigners
by engaging in the work ourselves, and
transferring the objects collected to the
National Museum in Washington. I'm
less some such action be taken at an
early day, it will be necessary to depend
upon European museums for materials
for investigating the antiquities of the
United States"

One day a mother who had been to a
country house near Marseillcs returned
with her son to Marseilles. 1t was twi-
hight. The child, eight years old. had
been put into peach basket borne by a
donkey, and tho mother, fearing the
child might catch cold lit was in Novcm-
ber) had covered the boy with a thick
brown shawl. Tired with running
around the country all day, eozy and
warm under the thick shawl, the child
was soon asleep and hidden by the sides
of the basket. Although the city gates
were reared there is a local custom
house at the gates of Marseillesl, the
mother, forgetting all about the child,
walked distance behind the donkey
and did not make him stop at the Gus.
tom-heuse TO he searched. The customs
officers seeing the donkey jog on with
out stopping, suspected he was laden
with smucglcd goods and ran after him
to thrust his sharp steel probe through
the basket. Luckily the mother oh
served him, ran forward and screamed:
"Dont use your Probe! Ny child is in
that basket" That child was Adolphc
Thiers.

Dissent In England.

During the recent political excite
mcnt in Great Britain much dread was
expressed by the Tory and church or
gans IN relation to the influence OF Dis
sent" To meet this Mr.. John Bright.
in published letter, said:
81 know not why the Church of Eng
land should so dread Dissent and hate 1t
and despse it. There is no diiierance
in doctrine or in Practice mean in the
rights of church which
can Justify the feelings which exist too
much between Churchmen and Dissent
crs in our country and in our time.
What has Dissen, done? If were a
Churchman think l should sometimes
ask myself this question. have heard
of an eminent Bishop who, describing a
parish, said that there were only two
things in it to be lamented-the beer
houses and the Dissenters. If ! were a
Churchman myself, and ] suppose it rs
very much matter Of accident that l
am motif they had not imprisoned my
forefathers Tor many years IN Bedford
Jail, for anything j know ! might have
been Churchman now-I hope |
should have had that sense of honor
and of Justice which would have en-
abled me to look around and behold all
the great works of the great Noncon-
formist body in England, and to regard
ii with admiration and honor"

Col. Tom Scorr throws up the sponge.
Af,er nearly twenty years of hcrculcan
labor in directing great transportation
movements, including six years service
as president Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, he has laid his resignation of this
important post before the directors OF
the company. Broken health is the
reason assigned for this step and it is al
together unlikely that any less pressing
reason would have caused him to sur
render position of such power as the
presidency of great railroad corpora
ton has come to be in this country. His
communication was referred to a COM
mittee OF the directors, who will report
upon II next week; whether it shall be
accepted or not there is little or no
room to doubt but that the career of an
other of the great railroad kings has come
te an end. Whether the great system
he built up can be firmly held together
by his immediate SUCCESSORS. or whether
his life's work has only been preparing
the way for further consolidation OF
transportation interests are questions
which yet remain to be answered.

The becr-sellers of Newark, who are
forbidden by the statutes of New Jersey
10 pursue their vocation on Sunday. last
year took the ground taken by General
Grant, and by other people before him,
that the best way in which to secure the
repeal of bad law is TO enforce it. Ac.
cordingly they prosecuted with great
vigor all violations of the Sunday law
and deprived church-going people of
their Sunday horse-cars and stay-at-
home people of their Sunday newspa-
pers. The people of Louisville have bet
tered this instruction. II seems that the
Legislature of Kentucky has passed an
act which, strictly construed, not only
prohibits all traffic on Sunday but for
bids any person to do any work for hire
on that day. The constabulary of Louis
ville--whether set OH or not by the beer
sellers of Louisville DOS not appear
are diligently engaged in enforcing this
law according to its literal construction.
Not only have they raided the news
paper Offices and prevented wayfaring
men from hiring carriages, but they have
acutally invaded church and reported
for indictment the sexton and the or
ganist.

London Telegraph.
There is but one state eXecutioner in
the vast Russian realm, and he is n
pardoned malefactor named Froloh, who
in the good old pre- Nihilistic days,
when the abolition of capital punish
ment was still maintained in Muscovcy,
committed three successive murders and
was condemned TO penal servitude for
life. When, however, revolutionary
successes rendered the services Of an im-
perial hangman indispensable to the
Ministry Of Justice, Frolof volunteered
for the Office on condition that an am
ncsty for his past misdeeds should be
granted to him. His offer was accepted
and for some time past he has been Il
busy man. For every "fuction" he re-
ceivcs forty roubles-about f6 sterling
from the Russian Exchequer, but that
official fee by no mems represents the
total emolument he derives from the
practice of his grnesome handicraft, for
he is permitted to trade upon the SUI
perstition still current in Russian society
respecting the luck conferred upon game
stcrs by the possession of morsel OF
the rope with which human being has
been strangled, either by the hands of
Justice or his own. Immediately after
Young Mladetzy had been hanged, only
the other dav, Froloh was surrounded
by members OF the Russian je,nesse doree
eager to purchase scraps of the fatal
moose; and he disposed of several dozen
such talismans at from three to five
roublcs apiece, observing, with cynical
complaccncy, that "he hoped She Nihi-
lists would yet bring him in plenty of
money" There Is. indeed, every pros
pect, if the Nelikof regime only last
long enough, that Froloil Will speedily
become a rich man.
