WHEN The ROSES COME.
BIZ THOMAS 5. COLLIER.

The red rose blooms by the tumbling wall,
The blush rose bends by the open gate
The mocking-bird, with his low, clear call,
Sings on, though the hour is late;
The yellow rose like star shines out,
The white rose sways a wan, sweet ghost
The beetles boom, and the marshes shout
The joy of their living host
The red rose burns with crimson glow,
Like wine that CLEANS when the blood is warm
And brings vague dreams of the long ago,
When the world was wild with storm;
When staiwart knight with lance at rest
Drove swift through the battles angry tide,
With red rose bound to his helmets crest,
Ana there IN the carnage died.
Tue blush rose tells of distant time,
When the Persian groves were loud with song,
And camel-bells make merry chime,
Where the desert paths grew long;
When love-iorn maiden lingering strayed,
Waiting for one who had grown a-cold,
Iln the rose and she at rest were laid
In the gardens sodden mould,
The yellow rose with it's heavy breath,
Recalls wide forests and dim lagoons,
Where the loathsome serpents watch for death,
In the light of tropic moons;
AID ruins massive, and grim, and vast,
In silent grandeur vigil keep,
Where the giant kings of a mighty past
Lie cold In a dreamless sleep.
The white rose pictures vision dim,
OF aisle, and transept, and sculptured saint,
Where the dying echoes of a hymn
In the far, cool distance, faint;
And shining out, wnere the arches bar
The purple gloom of the rounded dome,
face that glows like glorious star,
Set deep in sea of foam.
The red rose losses its crimson spray,
The blush rose falls in fragrant rain
The mockng-bi where the cool leaves sway.
Sings on with his low refrain:
The yellow rose with the dew is wet,
The white rose-where has the white rose flown
All, yes. made a coronet
For heart that is all my own.
Youths Companion.

WHEN sutton at Mt. Vernon, O., re-

was about to give up the suit and go back
to his home at Columbus, but the girls

disobeyed her mothers stern command
to stand up and be married. and the COM

Navy Department. Clerkships.

The new appropriation bill for the executive
departments reduces the number Of clerks at the
Navy Department about twenty-one. The reduc-
ions are in clerkships OF the lower salaries, now
filled by fourteen ladies and seven men. The
places provided for by the bill, now filled by
ladies, are only nine. There are also left in the
department about thirty similar cerkships, which
have been filled by clerks whose efficiency is not
reported Up to the standard of No. l, who, for
other reasons are not more meritorious than those
who are legisated out of their places. The Navy
Department has decided to give each of the above
sixty persons fair change for one Of the
places A suitable examining board will be
appointed, which will take into consideration
both the capacity and the merits of tho above
sixty applicants, and will recommend the thirty
nine persons to whom the available places ought
according to their best Judgment, be given; and
the persons recommended will be appointed if
they subsequently pass the further examination
required by the statute. The department is moved
to this course as the only practicable method of
approaching justice toward the fourteen ladies'
who would otherwise be left entirely without en-
ployment, and many Of whose cases are most pitt
able and deserving. Widows OF soldiers and
orphans of men having large claims upon the

Caucus OF House Republicans.

Immediately after the adjournment of the House
Saturday caucus of Republican members was
held to discuss the adyisability of attempting to
dispose Of the remaining contested election cases,
and to decide if possible, upon day for final ad-
journment Only about fifty members were pres
ent. This number was deemed insufficient to bind
the action of the absentees, and consequently no
action was taken. Various opinions were eX-
pressed respecting the election cases, and the
point was made that it would be difficult to OBJ
several days: whereupon it was decided to ascer-
tain how long 1t would take to secure q quorum
if it should be required. The question of adjourn
ment was then discussed, but the expressions of
opinion were varied that 1t impossible to give
any indication of the sentiment of the majority.
Alter session of less than an hour, with the gen
eral understanding that another caucus should be
held this week to determine the course of pro-
cedure the caucus adjourned.

The Administration.

Attention is called to the statement in
another part of to-day's REPUBLICAN of
the number ofappointment and removals
md President Arthur. They prove the
wolfish disposition of those who have un-
ceasingly misrepresented President Ar
thur in this regard. The facts show that
neither Stalwarts, HalEbreeds, nor Re-
publicans, without adiectives at all, have
been appointed by him to any consider
able extent. In the main, the public
offices are running on under the officials
who had them in charge year ago.
The people are getting to understand
this business. They see that the Presi-
dent is calmly attending to his public
duties, and that he simply is not doing
any Of the things about which quarrel
some people are dishonesty finding fault.
For him to make removals merely in
order to appoint some of the brawlers
to places would only be to "blood the
hounds noses" The more he would do
to arpease them the more those not fed
would make themselves hoarse by howl
ing against him. 1t is only the dog with
the bone in his mouth that stops bark
ing. The feeding of so many, and of such
q kind, would do more harm to the coun-
try than the continuance of their noise.
Mr.. Butterworths speech on Friday
was not that of so-called Stalwart
1t came from fair and generous
minded man, whose antecedents and
locality made what he said tell
ing rebuke to the petty fault-fnders.
1t was from a favorite in the Repub-
lica1r party-ref Ohio, and doubtless
truly represented the feelings of the great
body of the men who learned their Re-
publicanism from Wade, Sherman, Gid
dings, and Garfield. We hail it as a
token of amity between those who have
hitherto applied to each other opposing
factional designations. With New York
and Ohio at peace with each other the
Republican party can attend TO warning
upon Bourbon Democrats.

Bourbon Tactics in North Carolina.

News of bloody political strife comes
to us from the Tar-Heel State. The
Bourbon leaders, maddened at the deser-
ton from their ranks to the Liberal
cause, have begun an unprecedented
TRADE of vituperation and sander against
their opponents. 1t seems that the Re-
publicans and Liberals down there are
unwilling to submit to this and that they
are able to take care of themselves.
The Bourbons in North Carolina are in q
bad way, as evidenced in the reckless
and foolish platform recently adopted in
convention and in everything else they
are doing. The Liberals are out-general-
ing them, and beyond doubt have got the
inside track.

THE silver certificates authorized by
law appear to be to the New York Tribune
like red rag to bull. 1t is not neces-
Bary to discuss the wisdom of the law, in
suggesting that the enactment of it by
Congress was an exercise of the law
making power, and that notification
schemes are as reprehensble in New
York as in South Carolina. A national
bank dollar is as good as a greenbacls
dollar, because they are interchangeable,
and the latter is interchangeable with
coin. But there is not more than thirty
cents in gold under each greenback dol
lar, while under the silver certificate
there is silver dollar, which even the
Tribune admits is worth eighty-fve cents
In gold. The existence of silver certif-
