Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the
poet of America, on Friday March "a,
1882, yielded up his life peacefully and
calmly in the midst of his family al
Cambridge, Mass. He was born Feb
ruary 81, 1907, and was at his death al
most n month more than seventy-ftve
years of age. Full of years and
honors he has gone to the lane
Of the blest, while on earth his
Immortality will grow brighter ant
brighter until the end of recorded
time.
"Tell mo not in meurnf,il numbers
Life is but an empty dream,
For the soul is dead that slumbers
And things are not what they seem.

And the grave Is not our goal,
Dust thou art to dust returnest
Was not spoken of the soul"

MORMoNS OF OPINION THAT THEY
SHOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE

MORMONS OF OPINION THAT THEY
SHOULD HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE.
Washington, March 27.-One of the
most important subjects before the
president now is the appointment OF
the commission to organize the terri
tory of Utah. Great efforts are being
made on the part of Mormons to Sc
cure the appointment upon that COM
mission of eX-Delegate Hooper, of
that territory, on the ground that
the Mormon interest ought to have
some recognition. Mr.. Hooper is a
Mormon in faith, but not poIygamist
in practice. He has never had but
one wife and he would be eligible in
that respect for service on the COM
mission, and for that matter for cleo
ton to congress. Hooper is not so de-
termined Mormon as most of those
who are polygamists by practice, and
if any representative of the Mormon
hierarchy should receive place upon
that commission he probably would
he favorably considered, but those who
have been the promoters of the anti
polygamy bill would oppose any such
recognition of the Mormon element,
and would insist that there would be
danger that some of the essential OBJ
jects sought by the bill might be de-
feated by such an appointment. 1t is
ascertained that Mr., Kirkwood, who is
soon to be ex-secretary of the interior,
will be appointed president of this
commission if he will accept the place.
The Star says Miss Phoebe Cousins,
the we'll known woman suffrage advo-
gate of st. Louis, has applied to presi-
dent Arthur to be appointed as one of
the five commissioners to recorganize
Utah territory under the recent act of
congress,

Cruel Joke on a Young Farmer.
(From the Elmira AdvertlserJ

(From the ElmiTa Advertiser)
A young farmer of Glintondale, Ul-
ster county, became deeply enamored
of young lady, a stranger in the
neighborhood. who was temporarily
stopping in the village, and aftercourt-
ing her assiduously for some days,
popped the all importantly estion, Ye-
ceived Eyes" for an answer, and in
sisted on the marriage ceremony being
performed the following evening. Ac-
cordingly, large number of friends
were invited and the couple made one
by Justice of the peace of the neigh
borhood. Immediately upon the con-
clusion of the ceremony the bride was
surrounded by her gentlemen friends S,
all of whom insisted upon. kissing
her, greatly to the displeasure of the
Jealous groom, whereupon she made
her escape to an adjoining room, and
the bridegroom has not seen her since,
or at least has not been able TO recog-
nized her. The truth of the matter is
that the bride was pretty boy, and
when he left the room he changed his
garments and mingled with the crowd
and enjoyed the fun. The groom will
never get over the rather practical
joke which his friends played upon
him.

the pardon or the commutation of the
sentence of Sergeant Mason which is

an increasing interest in this matter all
over the country. An enormous petit
tion for Mason's pardon, containing
over II, 600 signatures, WAS to-day re-
ceived from Toledo, Ohio
Members of Congress are continually
bearing to the President these petitions
received from their constituents,
which are referred, as usual, to the
Judge Acknowledgement of the Army
for consideration. Active steps in
Masons behalf were taken to-day by
the presentation in the Supreme Court
of the papers and petitions asking u
writ of habeas corpus. The Court, as
stated last night would be done, took
the case under consideration and will
decide OH Monday as to whether il
will allow the filing of the petition.
Meetings are being held in various
portions OF the city each night, in the
interest of Mason's wife and child

The Anti-Chinese Bill
SECRETARY OF safe FRELINGHYSEN
OPPOSED TO 1T.

OPPOSED TO 1T.
Washington, March 27.-The men,
bers of the New Jersey delegation say
that Secretary Frelinghuysen is op-
posed TO the presidents signing the
Chinese bill, and will use his influence
to have it vetoed. 1t is understood
that the Chinese minister takes the
grounds thathe bill is direct violation
of treaty stipulation, and that the
twenty years suspension of the imnni-
grafton of the Chinese is not such a
reasonable time as contemplated by the
terms of the treaty. The opinion is
maintained that if the bill becomes a
law the Chinese government Will not
consent to accept its provisions, but
require the United States to abrogate
the treaty as a whole. The Chinese
minister thinks that the words " rea-
sonable time" could not be made to
extend beyond period Of ten years.
