CAPTAIN SHINES SHINES
EOLIPSED.
BY MAJOR CLOUD.

Brave Captain shine DER some coal mine
Or gaffer DER some gutter;
You ought to know your friend from foe,
Swiss cheese from German butter
Or apple suet.
You pity feign like some chlcane,
With an axe to grind no doubt;
Your Mountain Queen l saw yestereen
Paying tribute to scout
From Williams brigade.
Said lovely dame was never lame,
Distressed or broken. hearted
In garments gay she smiles each day,
Ou. nuptials never parted,
We love her dearly.
We hold The fort for very sport,
No legal power prevailing;
You need not fret about the debt,
Our strike is now entailing,
Our Guild can stand it.
Sir, if you please, enjoy the breeze,
Twill fan each ornamental;
Your reckless dares and grecious airs
Are eeimply detrimental
To compromises.
Our rail blockade defies all raid
That trick can't be repeated;
No hostile power can make us COVER,
Well never be defeated,
No sir; no, never.
Bold Captain Shine, unhitch your line,
Send all your mules to grazing,
Your worthless pitch throw in the ditch,
Twas meyer worth the praising-
No, nor never will.
Those towpath knights still talk of rights
They ought to get charter
Both day and night they show their spite
They're daily getting smarter,
Well square their trippagc
Then sooty knights with chartered rights
Contempt fer us are showing,
Most every week down Georges Creek
Their treason trumps keep blowing
Put down the crossing"
Sir, Captain Shine, those thrusts of thine
Can't ound single feeling,
Your would.be lords who court discords
Must aim at squarer dealing,
We are the soldiers.
You've penned enough of foolish stuff
Displaying surface merit,
Dig deeper down than shale renown
If fame you would inh ri.
Beyond the present.
I'm through with you, 80 now adieu,
Your ignorance cease showing;
Intrusion chiefs should file their briefs,
AnG find the cost of crewing,
Thtn truce proclaim.

Why the Scotch Emigrate.

Mr.. Alexander Sinclair, editor Of the
GLasgoac Herald. who has been making an
extensive tour of the United States, going
as far west as the Rocky Mountains, sailed
from New York for Glasgow Saturday last.
Mr. Sinclair says the desire to immigrate
from Scotland to the United States Is more
so than formerly, especially among the
better class of farmers-men who have a
little money. There is feeling Of indep-
Evidence growing ur, desire to own land
for themselves, that pervades all the mem
bers of the Scottish farming community,
80 that as soon as they can get what they
consider uudoubted information about
the farming land of this country, and
make sure where ia the best place to go
to, they will come over ia large numbers
This increased desire to immigrate, Mr.
Sinclair says, is due in part to the agita
ton about the land laws, to the increasing
spirit of wide prudence. and to the fact
that American beef and American dairy
products have become the greater rivals
of the British farmers products. The
probabilities, therefore, are that the great
proportion of immigrants will be farmers
Heretofore mechanics have come over,
because work was scarce for them at home
Now they can find work 10 Scotland, and
while their wages are not az high they
save more, as the cost of living is less>

ing, of Mr.. Keatings nomination on the
first ballot. 1t was understood that the
independent delegation from Baltimore
city appointed by the committee of one
hundred would apply for admission into
the convention, but, as there is no posi-
BILE precedent fer giving them hearing,
it was generally conceded that they would
not be heard. Whoever the nominee may
be, if fairly nominated, all true Democrats
will hold themselves ready to support him
1t is to be hoped that Gov. Hamilton may
be able to redeem his promise, that HIS
crusade would end when the nomination
should be made, and that his friends in
the different counties may be induced to
resume their places in the party ranks
Not that there is any apprehension that
there will be detection sufficient to en-
danger the election of the nominee for
Comptroller, but on account of the local
organization in close countries like this.
We believe that all fair minded and dis
passionate citizens, whatever their per-
sonal antipathies to those who are receg-
nized as the present party leaders, must,
when they carefully consider the matter,
come to the conclusion that there is no
just cause for split in the Democratic
party of the State or county at this time.

Many of our farmers have finished
planting their tobacco, and are now bus
lily engaged in harves'iDg their wheat

ten years. One of our enterprising young

seeking bis for une in the far West 1t q
thought by many hat this rash act on his

swer that he probably received from
young lady on sunday previous to his
exit.
An interesting dialogue occurred a few
days ago, between two bachelors who We
may say accidentally met in the city.
One accosted the other in the following
manner, Good evenng,-Do they hold
magistrates court this evening in Pomon-
key 7" why, no sir; we have no courts
here, we are law abiding citizens We
have no time to 90 counting" At the
same time putting forth SO many gesticu
lations and becoming so excited over the
matter that the elder BACHELOR eXGlslmed
Hold on my friend, | don't think it is
exactly temperate around Pomfret ;"
When John Henry arose and politely in
formed the elder baehe or that it was the
juniors natural way" To which the
younger replied Yes sir. yes sir; though
the word counting, counting. is enough to
intoxicate any man" The elder remarked
t ,at he had passed that stage in life for
any such words or Thoughts to make an
impression upon him, babe good -bye and
pursued his way to Pomenkey.

The young Indies o! Popfret are en-
gagged in giving music lessons every eve

are tru'y charming, and reminds US OF the
Cd adage that music hath charms to

are inclined to believe that the intentlon |
of these ladies is to break the heart OF |
some young man. We will address the

The dead lock in the New York Legis

The dead lock in the New York Legis-
lature on the Senatorial question holds its
own. 1t seems now to be definitely ascer
tanned that there are not enough Republi-
cans who can be combined against Conk-
ling and Platt to elect two Senators. 1t
is understood that proposition has been
made to Mr.. Conkling to compromise by
agreeing to the reelection of himself with
some half breed as his colleague aud thai
this proposition has been declined by Mr.
Conkling 1t seems that he is UNIV Wiling
to be sent back to the Senate unless In
company with a thoroughbred like him

will be made before adjournment.
