BY MRS. N. 8. WHITAKER.

As warning winds in frozen realms
contend,
And DER the deep their dreary muir
murs send,
So contest rose and faction ruled the
crowd
With empty words and defamation
loud.
Obi who shall breast the storm, who
guide the helm
While raging waters threaten to Ger
whelm1
Gray hairs are there, the wrinkled
front Of ago,
The fresher manhood and the ripsr
sage.
Behold / one cometh, Oregon for thee,
Whose very coming bringeth victory,
Whose words will add : star to those
we boaat,
And fix our flag on the Pacific coast.
AS great in action as in counsel wise,
See her intrepid conquering champion
rise;
The South his birthplace, honorsd by
his name
The admiring world his theater ef
fame.
Pale is his cheek, but silver-toned HE
voice,
While at Its sound tho tuneful MINI re-
joice.
All soull all flrel revelation given,
AS though some spirit spoke to earth
from heaven.

And shall We miss thee and thy coun.
sells now7
Like Cincinatus wouldst thou seek the
plow?
Rome needs thy wisdom, modest tho
thou art,
And Freedom keeps thee ever near her
heart.
Thy private goodness, registered above,
Wins for the noble man 40 noble love ;
Benifcent patriot, wear thy laurel
Till reaped by angel hands shall be
thy sheaves.

The Legislature has met every
year since the Convention, never has
met at Baton Rouge, and now some
newspapers suggest it shall not meet
for business in May, but adjourn till
August, the only good reason for
which is to show their contempt for

occupied nearly all the time, the alternative was to do less public work or employ assist ance It was desirable to have this assistant directly under the secretary's eye. He was not paid anything for taking care of the Chinese students in this country, but the Japanese government made him a present for his offices in behalf of the two Japa- nese young women who came under his charge. The Board and Governor Bigelow approved and commended his lectures on village improvement and tree planting He did not know the amount of the bo- nuses received by Mir. Baird from Hart ford man publisher until it was revealed by this investigation. When he learned that Baird had taken commissions he reprimand- ed him. Baird was retained in office by the board and holds it during its pleasure. The secretary is not responsible for his retention. He denied having personal reasons for advsr- tising Hartford and New Haven book firms in his report. In reply to Senator Gunn's questions concerning his reported visitation of fifty schools during the last year Professor Northrop said that he enumerated the schools by the number of teachers employed. Eff teen of the schools were found to be fif- teen teachers evenly divided between Nor walk, Middletown and New London, and en- gagged in three schools. Clerk Baird 8 system of conducting the clerical work of the office WAS investigated, but nothing new was learned
 At the investigation yesterday further questioning of Mir. Northrop took place. Sen ator Gum submitted two letters written by MT. Northrop to Henry H. Peck, bookseller of New Haven, to which Mir. Peck replied that he was willing to have his name inserted in the annual report one of the two firms willing to sell books at 25 per cent. discount. To the letter MT. Northrop replied on March 10, and said that it was only due to acci- dental circumstance that Mir. Judd had been asked to give the discount and not Mir. Peck.
 MT. Gunn-What was the accidental cir cumstance?
 MT. Northrop-Mr. Robbins, chairman of the House Committee on Education said that he thought Mir. Judd would be good man to furnish the books, and for that reason I ap- piled to him. Another reason for applying to Mir Judd was because Mir. Peck supplied the Morgan school at Clinton with books and I thought it no more than fair that Mir. Judd should have the other trade to equalize mat ters

The Northrop Investiaa,son.

Secretary Northrop, in his defense before the Investigating committee at Hartford on Thursday, read a long statement detailing his connection with the board as its secretary
 Among other things he said the board cordi- ally approved of the teachers institutes
 During the years 1s6O 69-70 his expenses were considerably over $500 year, and had he not received railroad passes they would have been much greater. He claimed that his trips to Europe in 1872 and 1877 were authorized by the board, and in view of what he learned while in Europe he is confident that he never served Connecticut better than when abroad. Except whom in Europe he has given an average of over 150 lectures and visited more than 200 schools year.

 A Hidden Trensure-The Secret Hoard
 Left by Two Maiden Ladies.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 7,-Jane and Susan Shaw, two old maiden ladies. lived for number of years very quietly at 1o44 Spruce street in this city. Jane inherited an estate worth $6O, 900 from her brother Charles, with the understanding that she should pay her sister an annuity of $50. Jane died in April, 1881, leaving everything to her sister for life and then the other legatees. Susan followed her in April of this year. She left her prop erty to the same relatives as Jane, with one exception. Charles s. Forsyth, who was executor of both wills, while making an in ventory stumbled across four mysterious chests in a cupboard of the Shaw house. They were opened after great trouble and were found to be full of silver and gold. No mention had been made of them by the sis ters, and their existence was never suspect ed. A carriage was called and the money taken to bank. Two men were employed five hours in counting it. It amounted to $21,s MT. Forsyth credited the money to Susan's account. Objections were interposed, however, by the residuary legatees under Jane's will. Testimony was produced before

A Remarkable ColItsion-Txo Trains on
 fEara.,a TsceaIkS sI rEaxafl,ar.

Different Tracks Smash Together.
 NEW YORK, July "A very singular acci- dent occurred last evening on the Hudson River railroad half mile below Tarrytown. When the Poughkeepsie special, due at the Grand Central depot at o'clock, and the special St. Louis express, which started from New York at G:3O o'clock met at the point indicated the passengers on both trains sud- denly felt 8 great shock, as if the sides of the cars were being torn asundsr. The win dows of the cars were smashed and tho sides of the cars were almost wrecked. In the smoking car on the Poughkeepsie train four men were injured. s. c. Ball, of No. IF Perry street of this city, had his left arm and hand severely hurt, and several others received injuries, some of them beng cut with flying glass. An investigation by the officers of the railroad as to the cause of the accident revealed the startling fact that at the particular point where the trains met the tracks are so near together that two trains cannot pass each other without going col lision The two trains, therefore, struck each other. It appears that never before in the history of the Hudson River road have two trains met at this exact spot on the road. The drawing room cars on the up train, three in number, were badly wrecked so far as bro- ken panels and windows concerned, but fortunately nobody was seriously hurt in either of them. It is thought that if the cars had been an inch nearer together the whole sides of both trains would have been torn out, There was great indignation expressed last evening by the passengers concerning this careless way of track building, ana suits for damages are threatened by many. No explanation is offered by the officers of the road for this condition of the tracks. They appear to have been totally ignorant of it un- til last evening.
