rough the liberality OF w. w. Corcoran, OF
'asliin gton.1
At last-the long-neglected onel
Al last the land that gave him birth
Enfolds min In her robe of earth,
His ocean journey done. IiI
At last the senseless dust is drawn,
Long lain beneath Tunisian sands,
From crypts in those far alien lands
That early meet the dawn
And here we lay the sacred frame,
And mark the spot where rests the head
OF him who, dying, is not dead
While rings the trump OF Fame.
The brain that framed the lay is naught;
The voice that spake Is heard no moro;
Yet myriad threats and voices pour
The simple song they taught.
And Music, trembling DER the strings,
Puts forth her fullest flood of sound,
Till souls to raptured heights enwound
Rise far from earthly things.
And upward float, in vague desire
To feel and reach higher height,
Where, streaming inward, springs to lfgh'
A touch of Heavenly fire.
He had his more than happy time,
This poet. Surely he who sings
A song whose homely cadence rings
In every sphere and CLINE
Is great-yea, greater far than he
Who wastes a land with sword and war,
And scatters wild alarms afar,
With woe by land and sea;
Or that one, perched above the throng,
To shape mighty Nations fate,
A part of all the hollow state
Where pomp and show belong.
They fall, and Memory moving on
xu1N ft..atr
Like leaves that fly, or dying flames,
They perish and are gone.
But he, by suffering taught so much,
Upon the chords finger laid,
And every heart responsive made
An answer to his touch.
Till each had made the lay his own,
And of the thought became part,
For what is grown about the heart
Outlives the craven stone.
And down the ages, sounding long,
Shall troubled hearts from sorrow rise,
And sing with blurred and misty eyes
The sweetness of his song.
Let Fame speak from her Hottest domel
Let Glory weave her richest wreath!
For he who homeless rests beneath
At last has found home.
And honored be the kindly mind,
Castin a wide philanthropy,
That reached beyond the restless sea
And moved the far design.
All praise be to the liberal zest
That swept away public wrong,
And brought the bard, forsaken long,
And laid him here to rest.

"The parcel feature, which has
recently been added to the postal
system in Great Britain and Ireland,
is an attempt to perform i'll that
country service which in this is
done almost entirely by the express
system, tho difference being that the
English arrangement does the work
a great deal cheaper. Any package
not longer than three feet six inches,
and of not more than seven pounds
weight, if secured with cords, may
be sent by mail at cost Of six ,entS
for one pound, twelve cents for
three pounds, eigteen cents for five
pounds, and twenty-four cents for
seven pounds. Payment must lie
made in advance and by stamps.
The parcels, on arriving at their
destination in large towns, the
equivalent of our free delivery cities,
are taken in vans and delivered at
dwellings or business houses, just
as express packages are in this coun-
try. Regular mail matter has the
preference over them in the deliv>
cry, but it is thought when the sys-
TEN gets to working smoothly the
delivery will be almost if not quite
as prompt as with letters. The
system has been very literally pat
ronized from the first day it went
into operation, showing its adapta>
ton to the wants of the people.
Samples of goods, presents, jars of
butter, conserves, eggs, groceries,
meat, vegetables and clothing were
among the articles sent. Boxes are
being made expressly for the bust
ness, and there is every prospect
that it will increase till meat. eggs.
provisions and various articles OF
household supply will be trans
mitted through the postal system
directly to consumers. We have
somewhat similar system in this
country, but the limit weight OF
p,rces is four pounds, and the
charges are nearly four times as
great. -

An important decision has recent

An important decision has recent
ly been made in the u. S. Supreme
Court, in the Granger case, from
Illinois, involving the right of the
State legislature 10 fix or modify the
rates charged for the transportation
of freight and passengers. The
Supreme Court decides that "nO in
corporated company has a right to
Iresumc grants Of immunity from,
legitimate legislation, and unless the
exemption is clearly established the
legislature is free to act as tho pub
lie interest may seem to require.
1t has taken the Supreme Court ten
years to come to this decision.

Rumors thicken and gather sub
stance regarding coming trouble in
British India between the resident
English and the natives. The latter
have lately been granted by the
Home Government several privi-
leges of equality with Europeans,
and other and more important mat
tiers tending in the same direction
are now being considered by Parlia>
ment. IN olher words, the Homo
Government is at length tardily be-
ginning to do justice to the natives
by placing them on level with the
Europeans in their social and legal
relations. But this does not suit
the English local residents. They
have always been accustomed TO re-
gard the natives as an inferior race,
and consequently look with jealous
indignation upon any scheme for
their social advancement. The
Homo Government, however, ap>
pears to be firm 10 its resolution to
carry out and extend the measures
of reform which it has already COM
menccd, claiming that its principle
is that of impartial justice between
Ilindoo aud Mahommedan, Euro>
pean and native, and declaring that
no attack upon that principle can
ever hope to win favor in England.
1t will therefore be the fault of the
Anglo Indian residents If trouble en-
sues, and upon them alone will rest
the responsibility should their SELL
fish arrogance cause an uprising of
the native population. Lord Ripon,
the present Governor-Gep cral, has,
by his liberal recognition of the ma
tive element, rendered himself as
popular with the native races as he
is unpopular with the majority of
the English residents but being
heartily sustained by the Home
Government, he is strong to carry
out his views.-Ex.

The great boom at Winnipeg is
done, and the city is 'duller than be-
fore, and fattened cut like a PAM
cake. Winnipeg grew unnaturally.
1t was pushed to a population Of
10000 in province of 10000, and
in vast region having all told not
to exceed $4,000 inhabitants, who
would look to the city as their bus
mess centre. There could be no
other result than OVERRIDING, and
subscquent depression. The city
will now come down to its true po-
sition, and after waiting few years
for the country about to develop
and grow, will again advance. What
has. happened to Winnipeg can
hardly happen to the cities south of
the line, in Minnesota, Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia. The cities
therein have grown almost as rap>
idly as Winnipeg itself, but they
have not grown out Of proportion
with the surrounding and tributary
country. st. Panl, with Minneapo-
lis for instance, have 100000 inhab>
