The rife hangs safe on the wall;
No longer we quail at the hungry

The war-cloud has hurled its last lightning,
It's last awful thunders are still.
While the demon of conflict in hades
Lies fettered in force as in will;
Above the broad field that he ravaged,
What monarch rules blissfully now?
Oh crown him with bays that are bloodless-

lea, and suggested that the family of
his betrothed accompany him. After
due solicitation on his part and with
great reluctance on theirs they finally
consented to emiNate, and coming to
this country settled in what was then
small village b1t is now the city of
Cleveland. Stewart and Miss Abby
coresponded for year or more,
and Stewart visited her at her distant
home. Upon bis returning to New
York bis lettess grew infrequent and
ultimately ceased. Shortly after, Miss
Morrow received tidings of Stewards
marriage. ThJ news prostrated her
completely, and after ber recovery from
the illness which ensued she was en-
tirely changed. Before that time she
had been Eghthearted and cheerful.
Afterward she was never known to
speak above -an ordinary tone, and
smiled only on rare occasions. The
roses permanently left her cheeks and
she became prematurely aged. Her
mother died the year following Abby's
sickness, and for thirty years she kept
house for her two brothers. In the
early years she did not lack for
suitors, for attractive girls were even
ever in proportion in those days
than now. Noneio them succeeded in
awaking any responsive emotion in her
breast, and in 1855 she died, and, with
her griefs and bijghted affections, was
laid away in a grave dug by her broth
ers in front of their cottage door. Two
years after his marriage A. T. Stewart
sent to his former aflanced silk dress
pattern, with the attendant trimmings.
Each following year till the time Of his
death Miss Morrow received similar
offering from her faithless and possibly
emorseful lover. All the presents she
received without remark, and all were
carefully laid away and never worn

never known to refer to Stewart in any
manner, and after her death her BROTH

By meadow and mountain and flood
And the long, leafy gold Of his harvests
The earth sprites and air sprites had spun,
Grew rhythmic when swept by the breezes,
Grew royal when kissed by the sun;
Before the stern charm Of his patience
What rock-rooted forces must bow
Come crown him with corn-leaf and wheat

The king, the bold king Of the plow!
Through valleys OF balm-dropping myrtles,
By banks Of Arcadian streams,
Where the wind songsare set to the mystic
Mild murmur Of passionless dreams;
On the storm -haunted uplands of Thule,
By ice-girdled fiords and foes,
Alike speeds the spell Of his godhood,
The bloom Of his heritage glows;

with an exultant sparkle in her black
eyes; "that is, if 7 don't have to go

last thought, recalling her grievance,
was sufficient to upset her temper for
the rest of the day. "Aunt is stingy |"
she vowed, vindictively; "ard she don

Our esteemed contemporary, the Sunday
Gdseiie, yesterday, in taking up the subject
of the assessment of property for taxes and
showing the gross and burdensolne in
equality with which it is done, has, in
newspaper parlancc, struck good lead.
1t illustrates its article with an elaborate
diagram.
Here are some of tho worst inequalities:
The square on which the Arlington Hotel
stands Is valued at STAG the square foot,
while the square just opposite 1t on Vor-
mont avenue is valued at $40 the square
foot. Square 1856, between II and i streets,
facing La Fayette park and cornering on
Farragut square, Is valued at $l.2) tho
square foot, while the square just opposite
to 1t on Connecticut avenue Is valued at
$1.51 the square foot The square on which
the Riggs bank is situated is valued at
STAG the square foot, while the square Just
opposite to it on Fifteenth street is valued
at $206. Tho square on which the Corco-
ran building and Willard's Hotel is situated
is valued at $i,05 the square foot, while the
triangular block on which the Vernon
building Stands is valued at $7.55 tho
square foot.
AS the Gazette very Justly remarks, Com
ments upon such valuations are unneces-
sary. The facts speak most loudly"
The Gazette promises to follow its lead
which has thus early yielded so fruitfully.
II says that "the valuation Of improve
ments' is as eccentric as that of ground
and adds "The residences on the square
bounded by Thirteenth and Fourteenth
and G and II, are valued at 100000 while
the Corcoran building, Willard's Hotel, and
all the other buildings on square 225, are
valued at $29G,5oO. The Riggs House, the
Citizens and Metropolitan bank buildings,
together with all the others on square 22l,
are valued at $26I, 700, while the residences
on square PAS, bounded on Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, and X and L. are valued at
1924 600.
The people Of this District have long de-.
sired reassessment Of property for taxa
tion in order that the onerou5 inequalities
now existing may be rectifod, but some
mysterious and potent influence has always
prevented its being done. We trust that
these revelations may serve to accomplish
this desirable end, and shall join hands
with the Gazette in its efforts to bring it
about,

NATIONAL itepuDlChl'
According to Mr.. Frank Ii. Falls statement
as published in Saturdays Stdt, IL appears
that he was employed by the Department OF
Justice during tho recent Star-Routo trial as q
detective to keep n lookout as to the Jurors
that he did have several interviews with Juror
Holmead and tried to enlist his services to as
certain what was being done by tho other
Jurors. Mr.. Fall admits that while acting fol
the Government he made daily report OF his
observations TO the proper officers of the De
partment OF Justice, who were engaged In the
prosecution OF the defendants. He denies
that he ever attempted TO influence any juror
TO vote for the Government, or that he was
authorized to do 80. This statement is in re-
ply TO what Juror Holmead has said with ref
erence TO Mr.. Falls attempt TO influence his
vote as Juror in favor of q conviction OF the
defendants. This statement OF Mr.. Fall seems
10 establish the fact that the Department of
Justice did employ detectives to shadow tho
Jurors and make daily reports OF their OBJ
servations. This will rather startle tho aver
age American citizen as n remarkable pro-
cedure on the part OF the Government In tho
pursuit OF Justice.
