Off to the Mountains.

The poet of the Tower Hall

And with the Keystone mountain air
Is now his lungs initiating.
lie tarried through the Summers heat
In Philadelphia city.
Aud talked of the Towers Clothes
In many a song and ditty.
His heart was yearning for the bliss
Ofsunny hills and fountains,
And fitting out at Tower Hall,
He started for the mountains.
He went to Bethlehem. and there
Took quarters for a season:
And in that Paradise of Earth
INDUCED in rhyme and reason
He hunted OH the mountain side;
He sailed on Lehigh waters;
And, best of all, got introduced
To Bethlehem'S fariest daughters
He took few up TO Mauch Chunk,
For every pretty jewel
Desired to look upon the hills
That furnished them with fuel.
An engine on the mountain stood;
4 wire rope came down,
And they were drawn a thousand feet
Up to the mountains crown.
And standing on Mount Pisgah's top.
They almost froze their noses;
Twas not the mountain let me say.
Identified with Moses.
To see the sights they were inclined,
And moved by inclinatiOn;
They travelled on an inclined plane,
Propelled by gravitatiOn.
They made a circuit round the hills,
Mid shady trees and vines;
And swiftly on the e SWitchback' car
They darted through the mines.
They saw the sights and safely back
They went to Bethlehem town;
And then the bard of Tower Hall
These haSty notes put down.
The bard on Hethlehem's sunny hills
will tarry through the Fall;
But will not fail to tune his harp
In praise of Tower Hall.
And If his Gancics are not liked,
His facts are not disputed;
The truth that at the Tower Hall
The millions may be suited.

The Verdict OF the Coronor's Jury.
The inquest upon the body of A. NJ.
soteldo yesterday resulted in verdict
that he came TO his death by the
hand Of his brother, A, c. Soteldo.
This was the inevitable conclusion from
the testimony of two eye-witnesses, as
well as from the calibre of the ball by
which his death WAS caused.
1t seems strange that in the face Of all
the evidence an effort should be made 10
shield the guilty parties, and TO palliate
their murdorous attempt. So far
as Mr.. Barton is concerned, il he had
killed both of his assailants he would
of course have simply done what
any man should do whose life is at
tempted. THE REPUBLICAN can afford
to have its malicious enemies excuse Il
murderous assault upon one ofits editors,
and contents itself with calling attention
to the fact that there are journals which
defend the crime.

Pretty Good Talk.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, one of the
abest of the Democratic Senators, in
discussing the arrears-of-pensions act,
said:
If our cause had succeeded l would have
voted for the survivors Of those gallant brigades
whose tOtered gray was hurled by Lee and Jack
son against the Union lines every dollar Of money
and every acre Of land until their just demands
had been satisfied, Standing here to-day in the
presence of victors and vanquished, declare that
the confederates accept chGerfully the result
which leaves TO them only the consciousness OF
honest motives, only the history Of unqualified
heroism, and accept at the same time the further
result which gives to the soldiers Of the Union
what has been given to them by grateful coun.
try. viii never vote against the principles en-.
bodied IN the pensions act.
This has the true ring. Why cannot
Senator Vest carry ont his noble senti
ments by joining in the overthrow of the
Bourbon Democracy?

Christine NiIsson's Insane IIusband-He
rs Taken TO the Lunatic Asylum.

The news of the incarceration in q mad-h
yesterday Of Mr.. Rou2enud, the husband Of Mad
anne Christine Nilsson, has created great astonish-
ment and regret among the many friends of the
lady here. 10 the mass of English people the an
nouncement comes as n complete surprise, but
boulevard trotters have known for some time back
that the climax was only matter of time. For
some weeks back the poor gentlcmans discourse
has been Of character which clearly indicated
the coming catastrophe. Instead of talking of
money, mistresses and modes, the standard and
safe trio, the infatuated stock broker persisted in
ohattoring only of the first of these. He pratled
of millions to which the Pactollan stream which
rippled Tor Monte Christie was but pitiful drop.
ping, and all was his and more-moro millions,
more money, millions. He was whecdled into the
asylum by one Of those casual lies your Partisan
ever has handy in his epiglotts. Mr.. Ronzeaud's
partner hurried to the unfortunate mans room,
where his distracted wife was vainly eudeavorng
TO calm him, and told Mr. ROuZeaud that Mr.. Bon
teux, great financial light, was waiting to see
him. Easily believing that this interview would
bring him more millions, Mr.. Rouzeaud allowed
himself 10 be driven Off to Dr. Guuon's asylum,
in the Rue de Picpus. This catastrophe must be n
terrific blow 10 Christine Nilsson, coming especially
after great amuscments. She has Just returned
from shooting expedition at the Queen OF spain's

number of phcasants with her rifle i'll the most

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee gives the State to the
! Republican party. The high-tax Demo-
Gratis who have not surrendered to the
Bourbons will, to a man, stand by their
Republican friends on the question so
near to them. The future of Tennessee
is full of hope. A majority of her sons
who fought in the rebel army were not
for dissolution of the Union, but fought
only because they felt their manhood ap-
pealed to. The blessed old State is Union
to the core, and unless Senator Harris
makes up his mind to surrender to the
course of events he will have to retire
from the Senate in March, 1883.
