O. the drum
 There is some
 Intonation in thy grum 7Ionotony of utteranee that strikes the spirit dumb, As we hear
 And unelouded atmosphere. Thy rumbling palpitations roll in upon the ear ! There's part
 ofthy musicthrobbing heart. That thrills a something in us that awakens with a start, And, in rhyme
 With the chime
 And exacttude of time, Goes marching on to glory to thy melody sublime. And the guest
 Of Inc breast
 That thy rolling robs of rest Is patriotic spirit as Continental dress; From the glooms
 0fa century of tombs 8iF1.,1e blood he spllled at Lexington in living beauty blooms. And his eyes
 ofa nature pure and wise; And the love of them IS lifted to q something in the skies, That is bright
 Red and white,
 II As ii laughs in silken ripples to the breezes day and night. There are deep
 HuSheS creep
 Der the pulses as they leap, And the murmer, fainter growing, on the silence falls asleep, While the prayer
 Rising there
 Wills the sea and earth and air As a heritage to Freedoms sons and daughters everywhere. Then with sound
 As profound
 As the thunderiugs resound, Come thy wild reyerberations in Q throe that Shakes the ground, And cry,
 Flung on high
 Like the flag it flutters oy Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the sky. 0, the drum!
 There is some

New Orleans Incemdiarics.

New Orleans, May 27.--Thomas Melia to-
day pleaded guilty to the charge of having
fired the cotton on the ship Iron Cross. Ac-
ting upon info nation given by Melia the
police arrested five persons implicated in the
same crime, named Charles johnson, q Junk
dealer on the levee: Samuel Symonds, sailor
on the Iron Gross; Adolphe Halle, alias
Dutchy, levee laborer; John O'Connor. a
deck hand on the steamer Ella Wood, and
John OShaughenessey,a cotfee-house keep
er on levee. The above, who are charged
with arson, were arrsigned and sent before
the Criminal court without bail. They have
a preliminary examination June 4th. Sy-
monds, who was arrested, made full con-
fession, stating that he was engaged
by Melia to assist hn in his
work by keeping watch AMI ringing the
bell. After the fire was SET he was to bring
the Ella Wood alongside. Melia told him
that johnson was manager of the affair. AT
first he was 10 do the work himself. Melia's
Waterman would not allow him on board,
but finally johnson had promised Melia $3.50
for clean job, only to make smoke without
burning anything. Symonds assisted
Melia, when the latter went into part and
set fire by holding taupaulin over bin. and
then gave the alarm. O'Connor's statement
also shows that johnson was managing the
affair and expected money after the Ella
Wood claimed salvage.
