An Interview With Senator Jones.

An 1ntOrHle" W 1tn senator jones'
CHEYENNE, Dec. Ex-senator Jones
of Nevada passed east to-day, en- route
to Washington, with his family. The
editor of the Leader, in an interview,
asked the Senator if he would accept a
Cabinet appointment. He replied that
he would not, and stated that he adj
vised Arthur not to make the mistake
of Garfield, and take his Cabinet from
the Senate. He thought it wrong 10
appoint Senators, because of the obli-
CATION to retain them, and the uncer-
tainly of Cabinet term. Senator
Jones expressed the belief that the
President would adhere to the true Re-
publican idea, accepting the testimony
of Senators and Representatives re-
speeding appointments to Office, on the
theory that they represent the people
vino elected them, and bear testimony
as to their wants. The Senator further
expressed opposition to the views Of
Secretary Folger respecting the retire
ment of silver from circulation.

THE KINGS MISSIVE.
HOW WHITTIER INTRODUCES IT.

The following is the prelude TO the
Kings Missive, as Whittier calls the la
test collection of his poems reprinted
from the magazines:
I spread a scanty board too late:
The old time guests for whom l wait
Come few and slow, methinks, to-day.
All! who could hear my messages
Across the dim, unsounded seas
On which so many have sailed awayl
Come, then, old friends, who linger yet,
And let us meet, as we have met,
Once more beneath this low sunshine ;
And grateful for the good we've known,
The riddles solved, the ills outgrown,
Shake hands upon the border line.
The favor asked too. oft before,
From your ipdulgent earl, once more
l crave; and if belated lays
To slower, feebler measures move,
The silent sympathy of love
To me is dearer now than praise.
And ye, o younger friends, for whom
My health and heart keep open room,
Come smiling through the shadows long,
Be with me while the sun goes down,
And with your cheerful voices drown
The minor of my evening song.
For, equal through the day and night,
The wise Eternal oversight
And love and power and righteous will
Remain; the law of destiny
The best for each aEd all must be,
And life its pr rmI>e .i;ail fulfil.

POETRY.
Renaissance of Mr.. Lincoln.


"I'd like to see the President"
An aged woman said,
And weights of care and sorrow bent
Her gray and shaking head.
Her bonnet, faded as her hair,
Was old. and too much Shrunk for wear.
Around, on costly coucbes. sat
Statesmen of high degree;
And, conscious of her lowliness,
She stood most patient by,
As some coarse knave, with coarser smile,
Told hershe must wait awhile.
And on the hours rolled, onward still,
Men mighty came and went;
She stood neglected. old and i'll,
Nor saw the President,
While those whom fortune favored, told
Their pompous stories, free and bold.
mo place for me, the piteous moan
Deep in her soul was spoken;
"The great fear, have hearts of stone,
And my old heart is broken.
These all have power; but none have L
My boy. my Harry, yon must die.
And slow the sur came fainter down,
Upon the brilliant door;

The opening of the door;
And, haggard. pale, with restless eye,
Came one to whom thus piteously:
Il sir" she said, show hard my lott
I've waited patiently;
Perhaps the President can not
Be seen by such as /.
I'm very sad, and old and quaint,
And nv poor boy"-her voice grew faint
The stranger paused; a sudden light
Kindled his troubled eye;
He spoke with gentle tone and meln,
With quiet gravity:
"They should have sent you to me
Before they did the rest" said he.
The dame looked up, in quick surprise,
Was this the nations chief?
He watched her start, with smiling eyes,
"Conie, tell me all your grief;
The poor and needy never went
Unaided from the President. ,..a
She told her simple tale. He heard
. With royal gentleness.
Noting her every faltering word,
And promised full redress.
Then gazing at the gray old head,
He smiled to see her comforted.
"Thank Godr' her tears fell quietly;
sour land is blessed" she said,
"When one who honors poverty,
Stands nobly at its head.
If an old woman's benson be
Of an y weight or worth to thee,
81 give it from grateful heart,
And Heaven will surely hear;
God bless thee, Abraham Lincoln; bless
All that thou holdest dear,
And make thee glorious in the land
Now smitten by the oppressor's hand.
"And when the summons comes, dear
man,
And God shall take thy hand,
And lead thee to the throne of love,
In His unshadowed land,
May widows tears. fast falling down,
Turn to rich jewels in thy crown"
Alice Robbins.
