THE WINDS OF GOD.

Blow, soft spring winds!
Out of the amber west, when down the sky
The shadows slowly creep, and Heavens lit
Speak evening nigh,
Fan with thy living breath the rousing earth,
And let thy voice tell to all drowsy hearts
The years new birth.
Blow, summer winds!
When after days of drought and su]len heat,
Out of the heaped-up clouds there comes a
sound
Like echoing feet.
While from the distance, borne on breezy wings,
The rain descended on the thirsty plain,
Its beauty filings.
Blow. autumn wind!
Out of the yellow woods and stubble lands
Stir the brown brake and scattered tlistledown
With myriad hands.
By strength and weakness, yea, by life and death,
Blow winter wind!
Out DER the tumbling sea roll clouds and mist;
Roar through bare branches, striking wizard
notes
Where'er you list,
Driving the ships; and in and out of all
Working Gods will-who, from the frozen seas,
Came at his call.
Blow, breath divine!
Beyond the depths Of the uncounted host,
Beyond the mystic circle of the sky.
Come, Holy Ghost!
Lo! hatred, blasphemy, and sin aspire
To raise their devil-thrones amid the gloom,
Come quenchless fire!
Yea! and the world is buried still in night,
And loud and long thy Waterman warn in vain
Come living light!

FREDERICK AND TERRY.

An Interesting Political Episode Recalled by
the Recent Vote in California.
From the New York World.
The defeat of one out Of several Presi-
dental electors in state is an extraordina-
ry occurrence which has just been officially
declared to have happened in California.
David S. Terry is the democratic elector
thus cleft out in the cold" Had the pend
ing election been as close as that OF 1876
Judge Ter1y's defeat might have changed
the complexion of our history for four years
at least. There can be little doubt that the
causes of this defeat lie far back of the
pending election, and must be traced
to the killing of Senator David S. Brod-
erick in a duel years ago by Judge Terry.
During the canvass Of 1856 Davis 5. Terry,
the recently rejected Hancock elector,
made campaign speeches, although ne was
justice Of the Supreme Court. Brcderlck
having claimed in stump speech that he
was following the lead of Douglas, Judge
Terry retcrted by SAYING that it was the
lead. not of Stephen but OF Fred Douglas. :"
Broderick was breakfasting in the 1n;erna-
tional Hotel of San Francisco, with Mr..
Perley, friend botL of the Senator and the
Judge, when the speech was read out from
a NJ orning paper Broderick was much
startled, and impulsively said: Il have said
that Terry is the only honest man on the
bench, but take that back" Perley spoke
up sharply at this, and left the table to go
and pen challenge, which Broderick de-
clined on the ground that he had no quar-
rel with Parley, ana that if he had, Perley
was not his equal. Then Terry stepped
into the gap ana, and resigning his judge
ship for the purpose, sent Broderick
challenge which was accepted:
The duel was fought ten miles out of
San Francisco, on the morning of Septem-
Der IS, 1859, with dueling pistols, at a dis
lance of ten yards. Broderick's ball struck
the ground few PAGES Immediately in front
of Terry-Broderick's hair trigger failing
him-while Terry's ball lodged in Broder-
ick's left lung and killed him within a few
days. His death was regarded by the anti
slavery Democrats as an assassination
sentiment which the late General and Ore
gon Senator, E. D. Baker, made the topic
Of celebrated funeral Grafton over Dave"
as his admirers continued to call him to
the day Of entombing his remains beneath a
conspicuous monument in Lone Mountain
Cemetery. Terry was indicted for murder
and imprisoned but never tried. During
the civil war he was in the Confederate
army. After the war he returned to San
Francisco and practiced law and re-entered
politics. In August 1872 he unsuccessful]y
ran on the Kearney ticket for Attorney Gen
eral. This year he was nominated as a
Presidential elector.

THE MANIAC LEGENDARY.
Ben Husselton of Worthington, the Lunatic
who kindled the fire at the Minnesota In

Ben HusseltOn of WOrthingt0n the Lunatic
who kindled the fire at the Minnesota In
sane Asylum.
It appears that Ben Husselton, having
been employed on some outdoor work
around the hospital, in the desire to finish
the task, he was detained little later than
usual, and on returning to supper he found
that his meal was cold and unpalatable, up
on which he swore vengeance on the at
PENDANTS, and told the engineer, VIM.
Pearce, that he would have revenge on them
if he had to burn down the whole hos
pital to do it. No attention appears to
have been paid to his threats
and in short time after the fire
was discovered in the north wing, and the
maniac's story that he used naphtha is con-
firmed by the statement Of several firemen
who were early on the ground, that they
heard dull explosion from the cellar. I'm
mediately after his Incarceration he in
formed his captors Of the location Of the
other can of naphtha under the female wing,
which, by some providential circumstances,
had failed to ignite. He was ordinarily so
tractable as to be employed around the hos
pital, performing mental duties, and was
supposed to be so entirely harmless as to be
allowed the liberty of the entire building.
He is rather small in stature, very close
~ knit, and is about five feet eight inches
in height, and weighs 40 pounds. His
hair is slightly tinged with gray, and when
relating the horrible deed which sometimes
he acknowledged, his small gray eyes lighted
with fendish expression of delight which
caused a shudder to run through the veins
of his hearers. When asked what he set
the building on fire for his reply was Damn

is that the naphtha under the female wing
didn't burn, and then I would have had

did not complete the business! am ready

GRANT AS A HUMORIST.

He Doesn't Regard the Republic as Ungrate-
full or as Owing him Anything.
At reception given Gen. Grant by the
Lotus Club Of New York, Whitelaw Reid,
editor of the Tribune, presided and spoke
in favor of creating some position for the
ex-President, to secure for the country his
continued services. Gen. Grant responded
as follows:

Jay Gould's Command of CAPITAL.

OAy VOulu > CO1fluldllU Vi CaplCdls
"Gath" contributes the following to the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
Jay Gould told E. A. Buck, formerly of
Cincinnati, that within two years he would
have the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad
into the City of Mexico.
Nathaniel Paige, a Washington lawyer,
says that Gould is very closely studied now
in England by financiers who know what his
movements are. The Hollanders are also
impressed with Gould on account of his large
ready money resources. He wanted to get
hold of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, and
they agreed on the terms and then said:
Nov, Mr.. Gould, what time do you propose
to make these payments, and what securities
have you to give us?" II shan't give YOU
any securities at ALL" said Gould, land
don't want any time. will give you nv
check on Morton, Rose & Co." And he
did, for 81, 100000.
AS an instance Of Gould excess of capital
it is said that the Clearing House report a
few days ago showed the Forth National
Bank to have balance of over 81 200, 900,
and on inquiry it was found that this was
Goulds money. A number of German
bankers heard rumor that Gould ment to
borrow large sums Of money and pinch the
street about the time they had some impor-
tant financial movement to make. So they
went to Gould with collateral, and borrowed
Sc, 200, 900 cash from him; but, as he did not
pinch the street, in little while they went
back with the money and demanded their
collateral, whereupon Gould, havingno place
to put the money, paid the larger part of it
over to the Forth National Bank.
