still wonder ct the power Of will and
strength of life which enabled him thus to
arise and put on his harness. But It is
certain that there he stood, erect behind
the railing, wondering to see the wide ave-
nue. SO deserted, silent, the blinds all drawn,
Paris as dumb as great pest house, flags
everywhere, but such strange ones, white
with red cross, and no one there to well
come our soldiers
For moment he believed himself mis-
taken.
But no! Over there, behind the tri-
umphal arch, there was confused noise, a
black line advancing into the dawn. And
then by degrees the spikes on the helmets
glistened, the little drums of Jena ratified,
and under the arch, marked by the heavy
tread of the sections and the clank of sabres
burst forth Schubart's triumphal march
Then amid tho mournful silence Of the
square one terrible cry was heard: Tc
arms! to arms! the Prussiansp and the fou1
Uhlans Of the advance guard saw, up there
on that balcony, tall, white haired figure
sway backward, stretch out its arms, and
fall suddenly.
This time the old colonel was dead"

It is now pretty we'll understood that Gen.
Grant has fully concluded to change his
residence from this city for good, and will
in the future make New York city his home
The general is very much attached to Ga
lena, and but for business enterprises would
no doubt remain in this city during the re-
mainder Of his life. Here be was living
with his family and other relatives when
the war broke out, and here are numbered
some of his best friends. who knew him
when very poor and obscure man. His
home is situated in very delightful part
OF the city, and persons passing through
town on the Illinois Central have very
good view of the Grant residence from the
car windows. The house is a good, sub
stantial, but rather plain two story brick,
the exterior finish and elaboration being
modessd after very simple and
tasteful style of architecture. Tie
yard is kept in the very best order,
the trees and lawns are being nicely cut and
trimmed. The house for some time past.
has been under the charge Of an old soldier
who served under Grant during the late
unpleasantness. and with the assistance Of
eue WI Wy S1e4AOWs Vile, everything ABOUT
that establishment is kept in the very best
OF order. Some Of the furniture has been
taken away and is stored at Long Branch.
but many Of the presents presented to the
general and his wife during their tour
around the world are still to be seen at his
Gatena residence, including elegant paint
ings, valuable and very rich China and Ma
jollea crockery. His library is still here,
and is very valuable one, embracing
choice variety of books on historical, scien-
titic and art subjects, as well as . good
assorted library Of the best works Of fiction

SOPHIE PEROWSKAJA.

Down from her high estate she slept,
A maiden, gently born,
And by the icy Volga kept
Sad watch, and waited morn;
And peasants say thatwhere she slept
The new moon dipt her horn.
Yet on and on, through shoreless SHOWS
Stretched tow'rd the great north pole,
The foulest wrong the good God knows
Rolls as dark as rivers roll.
While never once for all those woes
Unspeaks one human soul.
She toiled; she taught the peasant, taught
The dark eyed Tartar. He,
Inspired with her lofty thought,
Rose up and sought to be
What God at the creation wrought,
A man! God-ike and free.
Yet e'er before him yawns the black
Siberian mnes And oh,
The knout upon the bare white back!
The blood upon the snow!
The gaunt wolves, close upon the track,
Fight DER the fallen sol!
X ): \ X
The clear, red lightning lept
And 10, a PROSTATE royal form!
Like any blood, his crept
Down through the snow, all smoking warm,
And Alexander slept!
Yea, one lies dead-for millions dead!
OuO leu 5pOt LII WIG SuOW
For one long damning line of red;
While exiles endless go
The babe at the breast, the mothers head
Bowed down, and dying so!
And did woman do this deed?
Then build her scaffold high,
That all may on her forehead read
Her martyrs right to die
Ring Cossack round on royal steed!
Now Lift her to the sky!
But see! From out the black hood shines
A light few look upon!
Poor exiles, see! from dark, deep mines,
Your star at burst of dawn!
A thud! creak of hangman's lines
A frail shape jerked and drawn!

The Car is dead! the woman dead,
About her neck q cord,
In Gods house rests his royal head
Hers in place abhorred:
Yet had rather had her bed
Than thine, most royal lord!
Yea, rather be that woman dead,
Than this new living Gar
To hide in dread, with both hands red,
Behind great bolt and bar
While like the dead, still endless tread
Sad exiles tow'rd their star.

ANACREONTIC.

What is q kiss? herald fair
That marshaleth the way to love.
A f1eeting breath Of balmy air
Which DER the lip doth rove;
An evanescent touch that thrills
The ardent lovers trembling frame,
A dew which on the heart disills
And kindles into flame.
What is a kiss? lisping sound
Of language all unknown before;
The accent of one rapture found,
The whispered hope of more:
The bending Of the boy-god's bow,
What time the string and arrow part;
The blissful signet to the VOW
That yieldeth up the heart.

Of taking him into the country; but the
condition Of France would at once have

too benumbed by the recent shock to bear
the truth. So we decided to remain.

blue-eyed woman in bsll costume, with a
yellow dress and puffed sleeves. And the

we could tell him, which made him be-

The people of Washington and the District of
Columbia viii no doubt respond promptly and
literally to the appeals now coming from Michi-
gan for relief for the thousands of destitute and
suffering in that afflicted state The description
ofthe widespread desOlation and misery ex-
listing in that state, contained in a dispatch
printed in Yesterdays STAR, appeals to every
heart. Aenhave not only been stripped of all their
possessions. but many of them have been rem
dered blind by the excessive heat and the dense
smoke. and are therefore unable to help women
and children, who are dependent upon them.
The National Capital has always been
among the foremost in charitable
works and deeds. The sufferers in Michigan re-
quire prompt attention and relief, and it is all
important that money should go forward to
them without delay. Residents of Michigan in
the District have already organized a committee
to receive contributions. but all the work should
not be left to them to do. They should be as
sisted in the collection and forwarding of funds.
Every day increases the number of destitute
sufferers. and it will be several months at least
before all the houseless and homeless people of
the state can be situated so as to take care Of
themselves.

The latter part of the cotton season was q O
unfayorable that it reduced the aggregate crop
considerably below estimates made in July; but
the price is about fifteen per cent higher than
last year, which is attributed to the falling off of
the crop. The increase of price will make upfor
the decrease Of production. and it is now esti-
mated that the total receipts in money by the
southern planters for this years crop will exceed
those of last wear

While the morning official bulletin, signed by
Drs- Bliss. Hamilton and Agnew does not alto
gether sustain the sanguine utterances Of Dr.
Bliss to the effect that the President is already
cOnvalescent, it gives. in measured terms, the
assurance that he has made progress toward
conyalescence since reaching Long Branch. A
statement from DR.. Hamilton later to-day affords
yet more encouragement, both in the way of de-
NAL of sensation rumors and in the expression
OF the belief that though there may be fuctua-
tons in the Presidents condition he will event.
ualy overcome the effects of the poisonous
blood. and that after that has been accomplished
his recuperation will be very rapid. This opinion
from physician so cautious as DR.. Hamilton
will have weight with the public.

AMERICA HAS already a bad name
in European estimation, and per.
haps the partissns of some efete
monarchy might be pardoned for cir
culating among emigrants or those
about to emigrste, two items from
the American papers of this week.
In one is told the tragic story of an
Euglishman who landed in New

pawned his watch for 81. spent nalf
of this sum in buying % cent meal,
and on going to spend the change
was arrested for passing counterfeit
money. Such an experience was
naturally surprising not to say stupe.
flying, bat the ways of the sinners OF
New York will not seem to the Euro
pean critic more curious than those OF
Chicago. Behold a clergy man who
organizes a new congregation, and

Ordination at Ellsworth.

At the invitation of the Congregational
Church in Ellsworth. an Ecclesia,tIcal Coun-
ell was convened in this city. on Tuesday,
9th inst. at half-pas O'Clock L. VI.
The Council vas organized by the choice
of the Rev. g. W Field. ID. d.. for Moder-
ator and the Rev. T.. VI. Cousins of Cherry
Geld for Scribe.
The pastor of the Church, Rev. {. J. II.
Ropes. having resigned his office to accept
the Professorship Of Sacred Literature IN
the Theological Seminary at Bangor and
the Church having accepted his resignation,
il was voted that under the circumstances IT
is expedient that the pastoral relation be
tween the Rev. Mr.. Ropes and the Church
be dissolved, and that il Is hereby dissolved.
The Church then laid before the Council
a record of their action in extending call
to Mr.. c. ". Huntington, late of Theologl-
cal Seminary, AndoNer, Mass, to become
their pastor. and also his acceptance OF the
same. whereupon the Council voted that the
proceedings were orderly and satisfactory,
and that they were ready to proceed TO the
examination of the candidate.
Mr. Huntington having satisfied the Coun-
ell of his church membership and that he
had been regularly licensed to preach the
Gospel the Council proceeded to examine
him in regard TO his Christian experience, his
views of religious truth and his qualifications
for the pastoral office.
The Council voted the examination salts
factory, and that they would be ready to
proceed TO the ordination services at ! O'Clock
in the evening and then adjourned for that
purpose. The order of exercises for the
evening was as follows:

-Bennett & Moulton's Juvenile Opera
Company opened here Monday evening in
the opera entitled Cinderella, or the Magic
Slipper The Hall was well filed and to
say that the audience was delighted only
family expresses the pleasure that was af-
forded by this juvenile Company. All the
parts we're so ably sustained that it is diff
cult to particularize. but We cannot refrain
from mentioning Master Harry Hamblin,
who has all the ease and grace of a matured
and polished actor, although he does not
look to be over nine or ten years old. The
opera was interspersed with songs, both hu-
morous and pathetic. Tuesday evening the
Hall was again filed to listen to Planqu-
ette's Comic Opera entitled THE Chimes Of
Normandy" The Company has won golden
opinions here and Messrs. Bennett & Moul.
ton deserve great credit for presenting tc
the public so delightful an entertainment.
