ODE ON THE assiSsISars0N.

A prize offered by London weekly
for the best poem OF the attempted as
sassination of President Garfield was
awarded to the author OF the following:
Veil. nov, o Liberty, tay blushing face,
At the fell deoi that thrills a startled world,
While fair Columbia weeps in dire disgrace.
And bows in sorrow DER the banner furled.
No eraceless tyrant falls by vengeance here,
Meath the wild justice Of the secret knifei
MOI red Ambition ends its grim career
And expiates its horrors With its lie.
Not here does rash Revenge misguided burn,
To free a nation vita the ASA sins dart;
Or reused Despair in angry madness turn,
And tear its freedom from despots heart.
But where blest Liberty 50 widely reigns,
Aud peace and plenty mark a smiling land,
Here the mad wretch its fair white record stains
And blurs It's beauties with a bloody hand.
Here the elect Of millions, and the pride
OF those who own his mild and peaceful rule
Here virtue sinks, and yields the crimson tide
Beneath the vile unreason of a fool
But Heavens hand hath STAYED the erring ball,
And spared a life as yirtuous rare;
Yet that such deeds awhisp ring world appaL,
Is Heavens mystery and mans despair.

How an "Intellgencer" Reporter Let
Himself Down Easily.
The jealous htcHiyfncsr of yesterday
morning, in the person Of one OF its re-
porters, gave itself away badly by pub.
fishing the following:
"a reporter of this PAPER having no.
ticed that the REGISTER local force has
grown sort OF insane OF late on tue sub,
ject of serenades, will probably have
some cock.and-Ouli story in this morn
ing's issue about one. Ii 80, the usual
reliance can be placed in it by the pub
lie, and that is-none."
The Joke of il was that the REGISTER
might have known nothing OF this "ser.
enade" il the space writer had not ex-
posed himself by printing the above
He knew it would leak out, and accord.
ingly prepared himself for an easy fall.
The fact is, he went serenading on Mon
day night, taking the Andes band to
drown any discordant notes his own
charming voice might make. 1t hap
pened, however, that colored porter
played joke on him, and informed the
sable domestics at the rel lence to be
visited that band would delight them
about the hour of midnight. Accord
irgly, when the Mteligencer lumiuary
put in an appearance with his musical
cohorts. q shower Of cards rained down
upon him, aud he left in a seventh
heaven of ecstacy. But when he came
to examine the delicate pasteboards and
found upon them the names OF Dinah,
Chloe and Topsy, he fell down, and to
prepare for the shock, inserted the above
clipping, at so much column. 1t was
too, too rich.

~ Viii Show the Gentleman How to Be
s.ve,e and Yer Parliamentary

Severe and Yet Parliamentary
On Saturday evening committee OF
two gentlemen from the Irish Lapd
fesgue, of this city, called at the REois.
TER office end their spokesman produced
an appeal to Irishmen with the request
that it be inserted 10 the REGISTER The
reporter replied that the article
must be submitted, but would prof.
ably be printed. The spokesman asked
n the reporter would copy it and send
IL TO the IntHigencer, but as that was
onite a task, the reporter declined, say
mo. however, that Il the REGISTER did
not publish it, he would send it to the
Tatellioencer Office. The gentleman, say.
ing the REGISTER reached msuy more OF
his countrymen than tie Intelhgencer,
preferred the address should appear in
This paper, and with that understand

At Council, on Tuesday night, Mr..
NJ. Grosan undertook TO tell an Inteili-
o,ncer reporter, who was boiling over
with wrath at his papers bad fortune,
what transpired at this office when the
manuscript Was left. Now Mr.. Grogan
was not here, at that time and cons--
ouent knew nothing OF what transpired
and when he undertakes to say an agree
ment was made by which the Intelli9en'
Ger was to have received proof OF the
address, he is in error.

of the Keyser letter. The fact is that
Mr.. Laughlin expressly stipulated that
a proof was to come here and himself
came to this office with that informa'
ton. For the writer OF the abuse which
appeared yesterday morning to talk Of
professional honor is very much like "a
rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear" He
knows as little OF professional honor as
he does Of English grammar.
Such an article as he produced, yes.

Our Opsratic Amateurs.

The "Bells of Corneville" had very
successful rehearsal, last night, at the
Academy. Since our last notice there is
a marked improvement both in the in
diyidual and chorus parts, and We have
no hesitancy in saving the performance
will be well worth seeing. We have
heretofore particularly mentioned the
solo parts, except that OF "Serpolette,"
which will be filed by Mrs. Fanny
Hornbrook, of Philadelphia. This role
is very difficult, both in the musical and
dramatic parts. The wild, gay, vain
and piquant soubrette, true picture OF
the Norman demoiselle, must be played
up to nature to be acceptable, but we
have full confidence in Mrs. Hornbrook's
abilities to so present it. She will be
here by tomorrow, and in the mean
time the character is taken by Miss An
me Hess, who is cast as Gertrude"
The chorus shows marked improve
ment, and two or three more rehearsals
will throw into it that life and vivacity
so characteristic of the light-hearted
French. 1t is receiving some admirable
training at the hands OF Mr.. Skelding,
who is an old "stager," and well versed
in professional matters and manners.
The Opera House has been secured,
snd the opera will be presented on MAY
23i and oath, or two weeks from next
Monday and Tuesday. On the follow
ing Friday, the St. Lawrence will be
chartered, and the Lyrics" will pre-
sent the opera in Steubenville.
