LONGFELLow's LAST POEM,

THE death of Longfellow, on the goth of
March was known at once the world over,
the news could scarcely outrun the knowl-
edge Of his life and the love of his verse;
In America multitudes of children, in city
and village, had just given him the honor of
their voices upon the celebration of his
seventy-fifth birth day, and the memory of
a poet is secure which rests in the praise of
children. Time will bring repeated studies
of his poetic worth, and this magazine,
whose first number contained his pure
tribute to Florence Nightingale, and whose
present issue hold his last poem, will take
an early opportunity to record his honora-
BILE career. On this page it is permitted
only to name his death, to join in the COM
mon sorrow, and to look with hope upon a
literature which he has ennobled at its be-
ginning with the beauty of his art, the dig
nifty of his aim, and the priceless virtue of
his life. t The Atlantic Monthly.
MAD RIVER IN THE WHITE NOUN
TAINS.
TRAVELLER
Why dost thou wildly rush and roar,
Mad River; o Mad River?
Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour
Thy hurrying, headlong waters DER
This rocky shelf forever?
What secret trouble stirs thy breast
Why all this fret and fury
Dost thou not know that what is best
In this too restless world is rest
From over-work and worry /?
THE RIVER.
What would'st thou in the mountains seek.
o stranger from the city
Is it perhaps some foolish freak
Of thine, to put the words speak
Into plaintive ditty T?
TRAVELLER
Yes, | would learn of thee thy song,
With all its flowing numbers,
And in voice as fresh and strong
AS thine is, sing it all day long,
And hear it in my slumbers.
A brooklet, nameless and unknown
Was l at first, resembling
A little child that all alone
Comes down the stairs of stone,
Irresolute and trembling.
Later, by hayward fancies led,
For the wide world painted
Out of the forest dark and dread
Across the open fields / fed,
Like one pursued and; haunted.
tossed my arms, and sang aloud,
My voice exultant blending
With thunder from the passing cloud,
The wind, the forest bent and bowed,
The rush of rain descending.
/ heard the distant ocean call,
Imploring and entreating
Drawn onward, DER this rocky wall
plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting.
And now, beset with many ills,
A toilsome life / follow
Compelled to carry from the hills
These logs to the impatient mills
Below there in the hollow
Yet something over cheers and charms
The rudeness of my labors
Daily / water with these arms
The cattle of a hundred farms,
And have the birds for neighbors
Men call me mad and well they may,
When full of rage and trouble,
i burst my banks of sand and clay,
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or stubble.
Now 90 and write thy little rhyme,
As of thine own creating,
Thou seest the day is past its prime;
| | can no longer waste my time;
Tie mills are tired or waiting.

this port appears to have shown much
good viii in sending your orders of Janu
AIRY 18th to Melville, as the Estafatte has
been ordered and paid for to Yakutska,
only the speed with which it went through
is quite remarkable.

LONDON, April 17.-Lamson has. been

the high sheriff of Surrey:
WHITE HALL, April 16.-SIR: The
Minister of the United States having com
municated to the secretary of state the
earnest wish of the President that a res
pite be granted the convict George Henry
Lamson," it should be further extended in
order to give time for the consideration of
certain documents, portion of which is
now on the way from America. l am to
signify to you thesQueen's commands that
the execution Of the sentence of DEATH
passed upon said Lamson, be further res

will at the same tune see that the prisoner is
informed of this extension to present respite.
Take care to clearly explain that no further
respite will be granted and that no evidence
which has hitherto been submitted the
secretary of state either from England or
America, affords any justification for ad-
vising and interference with the sentence
of law.

New YORK April 15.-The Senate Com
mittee on Corners" in grain, etc, resumed
their session to day. Franklin Edison, for
mer President of the Produce Exchange,
testified to dealing in future in grain. 1t
seemed to have become a necessity in or
der to handle the grain product in the most
economical way. His impression was that
since dealings in futures had been carried
on grain had been dealt with in less
speculative spirit The people
supposed the country was injured by the
advance of grain, but he did not believe so.
He thought if prices had been kept down
we would now be importing grain, which
would be demoralizing. He did not agree
with President Jewett in styling corners
a National calamity. Corners
temporarily, but the reaction caused cor
responding decrease. Spectators often
sell grain they do not have, and that is
gambling. A contract is always entered
into, and the buyer can demand grain and
not settlement Of difference if he wishes
He meant to have orders from customers
which would cause him to buy grain in
large quantities for delivery in June, and
he might without knowing it create ''cor-
ner." If the proposed law was passed he
COulu not SdIely as commission merchant
take large orders from legitimate custom
ers and the business would be driven out
of the State. The increased price in grain
is due to the poor crops last year

| David Bingham, an exporter, testified
that CORNERS" disarrange transportation
but reduce rates. and in his opinion there is
no legal way TO stop the practice.

ed forthwith, but it has been supposed that
Alfonzo Taft, of Ohio, ex-Attorney- Gen
eral of the United States, Stalwart and a
Grant man, would be given the succession.
1t has been urged, however. against Taft
that he is rather old-fogyish in his ways
to be thought of seriously as the represen-
tative of the United States at the Court of
St. James, though the presence of Freling-
huysen at the head of the State Depart
fears his friends might entertain. The
mention of Lincoln's name in this connec-
ton is, however, something new and sur
prising to the politicians, who are not dis
posed to credit Arthur with any such in
tention as that attributed to him.

HILTON'S FAILURE.

New YORK. April 15.-The withdrawal
from business of A. T. Stewart & Co, as
telegraphed The Tribune last night, was
received by some members of the dry goods
trade to-day with surprise that it had oc-
Cured quite so soon, and by others with
the declaration that they expected it long
time ago. All who were questioned, how
ever said that the event had been looked
upon as likely to happen sooner or later.
Almost ever since Stewards death there has
been spreading through "the shopping
public" feeling that, while the name was
still there, the life and soul had departed.

MAS0N'S CASE.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The hearing of
the application for a writ of habeas corpus
and of certiorari in the Mason case will
come before the Supreme Court on Mon
day. The Attorney General will then ch~l
lenge the jurisdiction of the court. 1t win
be claimed that the Supreme Court has no
original jurisdiction in such a case, and no
jurisdiction whatever, as the case does not
come up on appeal. The petition for a
writ of habeas corpus belongs first to the
Circuit Court having control over the coun-
ty IN which the Albany Penitentiary is To-
Gated. Mason's counsel claim the writ of
certiorari. for which they also apply,
properly should be issued by the Supreme
Court. the papers in the case being in the
War Department here. The opinion of
the army in Washington is decidedly
against Mason's release. Officers general
" express the hope that he viii be COM
PEELED to serve out his full term of eight
years imprisonment, and they would re-
gard his pardon as an act derogatory of
good discipline.

DEMOCRATS LAUGHING.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-The dem
ocrats of the Honse are inclined to laugh at
the programme laid down by the republi-
cans at last nights caucus, especially that
part which proposes a summary disposl-
ton of the election cases on the assump-
ton that only ordinary opposition viii be
offered ~ the democrats TO the unseating
of members of their party faith. Judging
from the only half-expressed threats of
leading democrats, the attempt to act upon
the findings of the elections committee in
contested cases will be met by an opposi-
ton which will include all the resources of
parliamentary fighting. In other words,
the democrats viii filibuster and oppose
the unseating of their friends at every step.
The republicans are not ignorant of this
disposition on the part of the democrats,
and are

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of medicines. See other column.
