A Weird Fancy.

If the dead, lying under the grassee,
Unseen linger near the b~reft,
Having knowledge and sense Of what passes
In the hearts and homes they hovs leit,
What tear-drops, than ssa-waters salter,
Must fall when they see all the STRIFE
When they gee how we fail, how We iAlter,
How we miss in the duties Of Life.
If the great, who go ont with their faces
Believed by weeping worlds tears,
Stand near and see how their places
Are filed, while the multitude cheers;
If the parent, whose back Is bent double
With delving for riches and gold,
Lends an ear to the wrangle and trouble
About him, before he is cold;
II the wife, who left weeping and sorrow
Behind her, bends down from above,
And beholds the tears dried on the morrow,
And the eyes newly burning with love;
II the gracious and royal-souled mother,
From the silence and hush Of the tomb,
Can hear the harsh voice Of another,
-blighting the fruit Of her wOmbI
If the old hear their dearly-forgotten
Rejoicing that burdens are gone;
If the young know how soon they're ior-
gotten,
While the mirth and the revel go on
What sighing Of sorrow and anguish
Must sound through the chambers Of space ,
What desolate spirits must languish
In that mystic and undescribed place
Then life were a farce with it's burden,
And death but terrible Jest
But they cannot. The grave gives It's guerdon
OF silence and beautiful rest.

Professor Swing, the we'l-known
Chicago minister, thinks it must be ac-
cepted as fact that there is great suf-
fering in Ireland to-day, and that the
money forwarded from this land, and
from all lands, and from England her
self, is the tribute due from the fortu-
nate to the unfortunate in an era
which declares all men TO be brethren.
If the grasshoppers in Nebraska made
outside help necessary, il the yellow
fever in the South demanded an upris-
ing in Northern charity, so the famine
in Ireland proclaims that another time
has come for help to pass over from the
strong to the weak. The utter failure
of crops for several seasons has made it
impossible for parents to buy new cloth
ing for the children, and hence the
awful scene ofseveral little ones wrapped
in one ragged blanket, at once without
food and without covering. Before
these repeated failures of crops there
were thousands in this afflicted coun-
try who were just on the edge of star
vation. In good times these had not
enough food or clothing, and now that
the crops have failed for three conseeu-
tive seasons, it ought not TO require
much more than rumor to convince
one that there must be great distress in
many parts OF the Irish country.

One of the Irish parish priests to
whom Mr.. Redpath, the New York
Tribune correspondent, sent a letter of
inquiry concerning the distress caused
by famine, says 1T would be impos-
sible for me to individualize, where hun
dreds and hundreds in my parish are in

open wide to us the American heart.
In it, under God, is our hope. A better

comes and when the merry word and
joyous laugh are again heard, believe
me, though we forget everything else
connected with the dread times Of the
year 1880, we shall never, never forget
America, who, by being the true friend
in peed. proved herself to be the friend
indeed" Another priest writes: MY

dawn till late at night by hundreds of
ragged, hungry-looking persons, most
piteously craving and clamoring for re-

last the heavy storms caused rise in the
river which overlooked the entire West side
and caused damage amounting in the
aggregate to many times the cost of building
the proposed levee. Property in that part
of the city has largely declined in value,
Notwithstanding the many substantial i'm
provements made, and its growth retarded
for years.
1t is not much that the people of West St.
Paul ask. 1t is simply the privilege of pro-
tecting their own property from disastrous
floods, and of paying for it by the issue of
bonds to small amount, payable in from
ten to twenty years. Yet the last legisla-
ture declined to give them this privilege,
and left them prey to the waters for two
long years. 1t is hardly to be supposed
that. the next legislature will be so short
sighted and so narrow-minded as to follow
in their footsteps. The contemplated i'm
provement will cost the State at large
nothing. The expense will be borne by the
people to be benefited and by no one else
and there seems to be no reason why theil
request should not be granted.

New York Special Nov. 81 to Chicago Tri-
bune.
Barnum himself will not say what he pro-
poses to do, but some of his associates talk q
great deal. For instance, one of the mem
bers of the advisory committee stated this
evening: ''The Democrats mean business
on this question of fraud. No threats in
regard to revolution and bayonets, and all
that sort of buster on the part of the Re-
publicans can turn US aside from our pur-
pose of ascertaining just to what extent the
frauds were perpetrated. Is that crime?
Does that mean revolution? If so, we must
have it, and the sooner the better. To sub
NIT to fraud lest we might be charged with
revolution, would be the surrender Of our
free government, and the American people
are not prepared for that.
Let me tell you once for all that we will
push this investigation and lay bare some
startling facts for the consideration of Con-
gress. Had the Republicans the same
grounds for charges against us, they would
make the country ring with their accusations,
and they would spare no effort to set aside
the fraudulent vote.
It having been given out this afternoon
that there would be another attempt to get
the meeting together on Friday next, this
same Individual who gave expression to the
above view was asked: evil your commit
tee. ct the meeting on Friday, take decisive
action in regard to the investigation OF the
election frauds?'
s:That is our intentiOn.''

victim of as bad runaway as often goes on
record. In coming home from Brodhead,
he fell between the wheel and body, and was
in this position for two miles, the wheel
grinding away until it wore through the flesh
on one side, and caused other serious injur-
les, mostly internal. It was two hours after
ward before he was found, lying in an insen
sible condition, and it seems now that he
cannot survive, although there is probabil
ity of his living.

A member of the Philadelphia bar sleep
in his Office atnight. On recent night he
was aroused by loud rapping at the Office
door.
"why could you not come at reasonable
timer"
"Because I am cook and cannot get off
any sooner. I have case for you"
Visions of big fec instinctively arose in
his mind. and, wrapping himself up in q
blanket, he opened the door and admitted
two colored men. One wished to obtain q
divorce and was willing to pay a good fee.
"But 1 do not want that gentlemen to know
the facts. Where can We have q private
conversational" The lawyer took him into
the entry, still having the blanket around
him, where they remained some minutes,
when the visitors left. He turned to the
chair, where he had placed all his wearing
apparel, and found it gone, unloading his hat
and shoes. He went to the door and sue
ceeded in finding person willing to report
the matter to the Central station. A kind
hearted policeman loaned him sufficient raj
ment to go to his mothers home to procure
another suit. This young lawyer declares he
will in the future hear no case unless fully
recompensed at the start.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RESULT.

Four years ago the Democratic party SUBJ
mitted to the infiction of fraud upon the
American people, by means of which they
were deprived of their rightful President.
This year fraud equal in proportions,
though from different source, has been
committed, and the people are asked to
again submit to it. The question now is
whether they will do go or not. The State
of New York was carried by the Republicans
by the most patent frauds. In the city of
New York and Brooklyn men were openly
bribed or intinidated, assuring their votes
for the Republican candidates. TIE result is
seen in the returns.
In the interest of peace the Democrats
submitted to being defrauded, four years
ago, of the Presidency. It is questionable
whether they will submit to the same indig-
nifty to-day. There is no doubt that Han
cock was fairly elected as President Of the
United States, and if there had been free
election and fair count, his election would
not have admitted of doubt. AS it is, the re-
ported returns from the pivotal State of the
Union rest upon the doubtful assertion of a
few partisans, while the preponderance of
evidence goes to show that most shameless
course of intimidation, fraud and misrepre-
sentation was practiced.
New York gave majority of ten thousand
for the Democratic candidate for President
in 1868, when party feeling was particularly
high. In 1872 there was 8
small majority for Grant, but in 1876 there
was large majority for Tilden, showing that
the State is naturally Democratic. It is pre-
posterous to suppose that within few
months the political complexion of State
casting about q million and quarter votes
could be completely reversed. There have
been no causes to produce such change.
At the recent election the Democratic candi
date was by far the most popular of the two
among the people, and the cause of his ap
parent defeat must be looked for in some
other direction. Money was unquestionably
used to corrupt voters, and business men
no doubt, exercised duress over their en-
ployes, while there were thousands of legally
qualified voters wto neglected to exercise
the franchise through fear that the threats
of Davenport and his gang of bulldozerG
would be carried out.
AS stated in the first place, wrong was
submitted to four yeas ago. A duplication
of that wrong will not be endured at this
time. The American people may pass one
indiscretion by, but will not in consequence
pardon all. If it shall be proved that the
Republicans carried New York by fraud
the Democratic candidate for President will
be inaugurated despite the entire Republican
party. If this be treason. make the most
of it.

out to warn Burton. Objected to and over
ruled. Exceptions taken, as to all of the
questions asked this witness, on the ground
that such testimony was inadmissible in re-
buttal. Captain Clark was then called by
the prosecution, to swear to the language
used by the prisoner, as, for
instance, that he said, he would s'cut any
son of who insulted ladies when he
was with them. The captains testimony
was in direct contradiction of part of Bur-
toms and .Devlin's evidence, and was object
ed to by Mr.. O'Brien for the defense, on the
same grounds as before stated. There was
q rather sharp passage between Capt. Clark
and Mr.. O'Brien at this point regarding the
captains evidence the day before. The
questions put to the captain by MIR. Egan
were admitted by the court, but ex.
cepted to by the counsel. Sheriff
King testified to the circum-
stances of the arrest. The prisoner
was recalled and swore that he did not curse
Carr at any time, as had been sworn to by
other parties. [Devlin was here recalled
and confirmed Burton's evidence in the lat
ter regard.
Both sides here closed the case, and Mr.
O'Brien submitted instructions to the cour
for the jury, based on the ground that the
taking of human life is not per SO an offenst
in the State of Minnesota, ant
that, under the circumstances, Robert Burton
| was justified in his act on th,
theory of self defense. Mr.. Egan reviewed
the instructions as presented by Mr.
| O'Brien, claiming that errors were in them
which must invalidate at least a portion
The court took the whole matter under ad
visement until morning, and the jury wa
warned and dismissed until 10 O'Clock thi
morning, when it is likely the judges charg,

murder case at present.
