The Day H. Done.

The day j. done. and the darkness
Fall. from the wing O: Night,
A. a feather u waited downward
From an eagle in his flight.
| soc the lights Of the village
Gcam thruush the rain and the mist,
And a feeling Of sadness comes @ cr me
That my soul cannot resist,
A frcling oi sadness and longing
That iS not AKIN To- pan.
And resembles surrow only
A. the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read TO me some poem,
Some slmpic and heartfelt lay,
That shall snofhe thi> restless feeling,
Aud Danish the thoughts OF day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from th,. hard- sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
through the corrlhJrs of Time.
For like strains Of martial mu-i,,
Their mighy thoughts suggest
I.ifrs endless toni and endravor
And io>nisht hong for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose Sou.;- gu-h from lns heart,
A. showers from the cluuds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days oi labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Sui heard IN hi. soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power TO quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come like the b-nedlction
That fellows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice.
And lend To the rhyme Of the poet
The beauty OF ;liy voice.
And the night shall be filed with music,
And the ares, that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

Appropriation to Furnish Seed to
Sufferers by Overflow.

We received too late for our last
issue slip from the Washington Post
of March 2ls,, containing teiegraphic
news from the overflowed country, fol-
io--eo ty the following item Of news,
with request to publish. AS informa-
ton to our readers we would state
that, in compliance with his request,
we telegraphed Gen. King what kind
of seed was needed most in this par
ish:
In the House Yesterday, Mr.. His
cock. chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, reported back the
House bill making further appropria.
,ions for the relief of the sufferers from
the overflow Of the Mississippi river
aud its tributaries. The report of the
committee recommends that the House
recede from its amendment authoriz-
ing the expenditure of a portion of
the appropriation in the strengthening
of the levees. After briet speech
by Mr.. Robertson. Of Louisiana, in
opposition to receding from the amend
ment, the report of the committee was
agreed to. Mr. King, of Louisiana,
introduced bill approp.ainc $500
600 for the relief Of the sufferers from
the overflow Of the Mississippi and its
tributaries.
The House Committee on Agricui
ture have also agreed to report favor
ably to the House Mr.. Kings bill! pro
viding for an appropriation Of $4,000
to enable the Commissioner of Agri
culture to purchase seeds for dis
tribution among the people of the sub
merged sections of the Mississippi
valley.
Hon. j. Floyd King yesterday re
ceived tho following dispatches:

The Chinese Question

President Arthur's veto of the Chi
nese bill was no dolbt in perfect ac
cord with the views of at least larg,
majority Of the republican parry ana
the advice of the secretary Of state :;
but if it had been his express purpose
he could hardly have done anything
that would have more etlectually
strengthened the democratic party, at
least in the Pacific states, while it
could not have strengthened the re-
publican party anywhere else in the
Union, for though the people of the
states east of the Rocky mountains
nay not be so bitterly opposed to
Chinese immigration, none of them
desire it, while the Intelligent labor
ing classes everywhere regard il with
diSfavor. And they all recognize the
vetoed bill as democratic measure,
although it could not have passed the
House without the assistance of few
republican votes The republican
party is responsible for its final defeat
by the exercise Of the veto power, and
it will have to carry the weight of
such responsibility through the next
presidential campaign and they will
not fud it very light burden when
they come to carry it up and down
the Pacific slope; for over there it is
very important matter; is an issue
upon which the great bulk of the pop
ula,ion, of all parties. is unit. They
differ on other political issues, but in
their dislike of John Chinaman they
are solid and unmcved; and " hat is
still more it is with them the domi-
nant issue. before which all others
dwindle into ipsisnifcapce.
1t may be iruc that ;he opponep.s
of this hill haAc. more money ou tieir
side, even in the Pacinc states,|- as
cheap labor is to the interest of capi
tal-and money is a powerful posit:'
cal lever-but fortunately voting la
Dor in those states is intelligent anG
alive to it's own interests, and is MOI
liable to be easily influenced agains
those interests even by sthis poten
persuader Therefore, { is reasona
BILE to suppose that the pay givin:
the fairest promise Of checAiDg or put
ting q stop to mongolan immigration
will command the sympathy and sup
port of not only the masses of tn
Pacific states but the intelligent. Cal
culating laboring classes of all th
states of :he Union in the next pres
Dental campaign.
The democratic party was weakere
by its opposition to the Mormon hi
in congress. but not as much, W
think. as the republican party has bee
by its opposition to and veto Of thi
Chinese bill: because there are fcwe
persons interested in suppressing pr
ligamy in Utah than there are i
checking Chinese immigration, whic
they regard as a greater evil aud moi

His mother was incXpTescibly

She wep' over the body of the pros

manner in which the outlaw was
killed They are shocked that "honor
among thieves was forgotten. and
sympathetic sentiment is expressed
They don't approve Of James's doings;
oh no, but the fellow ought to have
had chance.
They should spare their sentiment
for filter subjects.
Of course we can admire the un-
changing love Of the mother. but the
sympathy of others for James is
wasted fragrance He, and men like
him, know no pity and no sentiment
Their hands are raised against all men
and women. Even at the time Of the
killing Of James he was planning u
robbery, and his past deeds of violence
leave no room to doubt he would have
shot any in the way of its successful
execution, and the smaller the chance
his victims had, the better it would
have suited him. He once shot u
bank cashiers brains out because he
refused to open the safe of tie bank
