THE SONG OF THE HEN.
BY R. J. BURDETTE.

minstrel am 1 of single lay
But sing it the whole day long,
In the crowded coop, or the breezy way
warble my simple song.
Only an egg, with its clear white shell,
The sea hath no pearl more fair
And over that spheroid cackle and yell,
And holler and rassel and rave.
Oh, a frail, weak thing is my ovate gem,
As 1t lies in my straw lined nest;
But it raketh the orator, stern and stem,
When it catcheth him on the crest.
There is might in its weakness, and when ii
goes
Down the afternoon of life,
It can lead strong man by the nose
When it mixeth itself in the strife.
am no slugger; the hawk that swoops
Must hunt for me under the thatch,
And yet in the field or the noisy coops
always come up to the scratch.
So sing the only lay that know,
In numbers becomingly meek;
Because, though tiny son never sets. ." 1 know
That my life will be ended necks weak.

A SCRAP OF GOSSIP.

The Domestic Relations of Judah p. Ben
jamin and His Wife.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The retirement of
Judah P. Benjamin has brought to the sur
face the following bit of gossip His
domestic life was unfortunate. His wife,
beautiful woman, had a cloud upon her
reputation. Mr.. Benjamin, who then lived
in New Orleans, used all the devices of intel
lect money, and personal prestige to have
her received in good society-to no purpose
He gave magnificent parties, to which all
the men in New Orleans went but at
which not woman appeared. He came to
Washington as senator from Louisiana, Or
ganized splendid establishment
and repeated his endeavor to
secure favor for his wife, with no success
She went to Paris, determined never to re-
turn to the United States Again, at the
auction of her elegant household goods
he said bitterly to "a friend
that he was bankrupt in purse, heart and
reputation. Mrs Benjamin refused to live
away from Paris. Mr. Benjamin felt obliged
to live in London, and he paid her frequent
visits and INDUCED her without limit.

UNTAXED LANDS.
An Effort to Compel Land-Grant Railways
to Pay just Taxes.

An Effort to Compel Land-G Grant Railways
to Pay just Taxes.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-Senator Van Wyck
has been aroused at the eleventh hour Of the
session to a sense of the aggressions of the
Immigrant railroads, and he has
opened vigorous war on them. The
Immigrant companies have contrived to
own the right to many millions of acres of
land which is safely excluded from the pub
lie domain, and yet to fall far enough short
of owning it to enable them to evade the
tax laws of the State wherein it IS located;
that is to say, by refusing to
deposit sum to cover the cost of survey
the companies are subjected to the apparent
penalty of not receiving patents to their
lands. This penalty is to them a boom
The land cannot be sold or otherwise disposed
of by the government 1t belongs absolutely
to the railway companies in equity, while in
law the title remains in the United States
By having their lands owned by the govern
ment until they want to sell them they escape
the payment of taxes, as the public land
is not subject to taxation. This cunning
arrangement whereby lands donated in or
der that the period of their sale might aid in
building railways, are retained as great I'M
taxed inequalities, it is the purpose of the
public lands committee to destroy. 1t is
doubtful whether anything can be accom-
plished by this Congress, however.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE, Feb. 14.-At the meeting of
the stockholders of the Air Line, held at
Mount Carmel, ILL.,, to-day, four-ifths of the
stock was represented, and the following
board of directors was elected: Jonas H.

The new board will meet at Boston during

election of Colonel Bennett Young as a
director, and the fact that he has lately been
elected president of the Louisville, New AL
bany g. Chicago road, would indicate friendly
relations between the two roads, and will
give the Air Line better terminal facilities at
the Louisville end. The meeting to-day is
reported to have been very harmonious, and
without any suggestions that the sale of the
road was at all likely.

EVANSVILLE Feb 14.-The river has risen
steadily all day, the gauge at 6 o'clock show
ing forty-fve and two-tenths feet. This is
within one and two-tenths feet of the flood
of 1867, the highest known here. There
seems to be little doubt that at least two
more feet will come, making this the high

no damage here, as yet, and none is expected
The water came up into Pigeon-creek bridge
on Water street, this morning and cut of
communication with Independence by that
route, but the bridge is heavily weighted
with iron and is believed to be safe The
water also covered the transfer track of the

to-day, was the unloading OF corn out of the
cribs in the bottoms, towed in on barges by
the harbor tugs.
