LONDON BRIDGE.
r. Z. wEATHERLY.

Proud and lowly, beggar and lord,
Over the bridge they co.
Rags and velvet, fetter and sword,
Poverty, pomp and woe.
Laughing, weeping, hurrying ever,
Hour BY hour they crowd along,
While, below, the mighty river
Sings them all mocking song,
Hurry along, sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags, SO the world wags,
Until the river no more shall run.
Dainty, painted, powdered and gay.
Rolleth my lady by;
Rags and tAtters, over the way,
Carries a heart as high.
Tlcw'rs and dreams from country meadows.
Dust and din thro' city skies,
Old men creeping with their shadows,
Children with their sunny eyes
Hurry along sorrow and song;
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags. so the world wags.
Until the river no more shall run.
Storm and sunshine, peace and strife,
Over the bridge they go;
Floating on in the tide Of life,
Whittier no man shall know.
Who shall miss them there tomorrow,
Waits who drift to the shade or sum-
Gone away with their songs and sorrow;
Only the river still flows on.
Hurry along, sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags. so the world wags.
Until the river no more shall run.

Colonel Mendel, assistant engi-
neer Payson, and commissioner
Knox have visited the brush dams
of Yuba and Bear rivers, Califor-
MIA, and report them In a flourish
ing condition. The dams were not
so badly injured by the fresh
cts as was thought, and, except in
in few spots where breaks oc-
CURED, the willows are growing in
a way to strengthen them. They
are not designed to impound the
fine sand which floats along with
the water until it forms a stagnant
pool. This fine sand will float
along and settle in the waters of
the bay and harbor of San Fran
cisco. 1t is impossible to avoid
this result. The brush dam sys-
tenn might be useful to hold in
check the debris now in the noun
tain streams; but as a remedy for
the evil of hydraulic mining, they
are entitled to little consideration.

INDEPENDENTS.
Big Political Coalition Sug-
Rested in the south.

Washington, 7.-Democrsts seem to
have thought certain republicans were
not supported by the Naturalization.
TIE President said tC some Virginia re-
publiGans, to-day, that he was In ful
s. mpsthy with the Independent move
ment in Virginia, and would do all he
could for it. He believed the proper
course for republicans to pursue was 70
unite with the Bourbon element OF the
democratic party wherever possible. He
did not endorse the position assumed by
some managers Of the republican orRsni-
zation in Virginia, who opposed any
coalition with Mshone. This DECLARE
ton shows that Garfield does
not approve the movement in
New York, last summer, which
ut the very time when coalition was
about to be effected which might have
insured the electoral vote of the state ~
republicans, denounced all efforts at CO.
alition sad prevented it. Straight out
republicans in Virginia, under tae lead
of Gen Wickhsm, have thus been
officially notified that their policy is not
approved by the Administration. Repub-
lican senators think there is promise Of .
general and organized movement Of in
dependents in the southern states during
the coming summer and autumn. There
are many reasons for believing the time
is rips for such an organization, and with
leaders of character and determination,
the greater mum Der Of those states can
be carried and controlled by such inde-
pendent organization, and the promoters
Of the coming Independent movement
may become prominent. The platforms
will every where demand a free vote and
fair count. Some southern republicans
are hostile to the movement. They be-
long 10 the class of men who have kept
power in the states or at Washington,
only by concentrating the mesRre vote.

Of gold coin and bullion. exclusive of
some $50 100000 silver, while the Bank

gold. What is mere singular is that 1t
stays in the vaults no matter what the
demand, for as fast as it is paid out 1t

dence is maintained it was not the favor
lie currency.
