Natures Gifts.

To all that breathe the air of heaven,
Some boon Oi strength has nature given,
She arI0ed the courser's foot Of air,
And winged with speed the painting hare
She gave the lion fapgs of terror
And, on the ocean 3 crystal mirror
Taught the unnumbered scaly throng
To trace their liquid path along;
While for the umbraEe of the grave,
She plumed the warbllng world OF love.
TO MIN she gave the flame refined,
The spark OF heaven-a thinking mind!
And has she no surpassIng treasure
For thee. Oh. woman! child of pleasure?
She gave thee beauty-shsft OF eyes,
That every shaft OF war Outfies!
She gave thee beauty-blush Of fire,
I hit bids the flames of war retire!
WOmanl be gair. we must adore thee;
Smile. and u world Ia weak before thee!

Haverstick Mrs. Uhler was fashionably
dressed and kept handkerchief almost con-
Stantly to her eyes, which were red and
swollen with weeping. Amid sobs she said
her name was Emma H. Uhler She spoke
so low that the coroner was obliged to repeat
her answers to the jury. She was nervous
and exhausted, DR.. Amidon, her physician,
had to sit with one arm
thrown over her shoulder to sustain
her. She had lived with Haverstick since
last May. She testified that she was COM
PEELED to leave her husband, after many
quarrels, and when he would not let her in
the house she had consented to go with her
brother to Reno, Neb., and on the afternoon
of the tragedy talked with him in the pres
ence of Haverstick. That evening all three

stick threw off his coat, and Selling some
thing. flung it at her brother She rushed
between and a shot was fired Haver-
stick, she reluctantly admitted, had
quarreled with her that evening
and slapped her face, but" she added, "he
didn't mean to hurt me' Conkling in his
own behalf, in detail told the story of his
coming here to effect, if possible, a reconcile
alton between his sister and her husband, or
to take her home with him. He detailed his
failure in the first object and his converse
lions with his sister. They arranged that
they were to go to Lebanon, Pa. see her
children, and thence to Reno. On Monday
evening" when he called on his sister, he
found her crying, after quarrel with Hav-
erstick.
Conkling's story of the occurrence did not
differ from that already published. The in
quest was then closed, and Mrs. Uhler was,
by her own consent taken to the office Of
her brothers counsel, and thence to an up
town hotel. The jury found that Conkling
had killed Haverstick by firing pistol-shot,
it being fired under great provocation."
Bail was refused, and ConkIing was recon-
mitted to the Tombs

LONDON, March %. - The condition of
Queen Victoria's limb, which was injured by
her fall, on Saturday last, continues most
satisfactory. Her Majesty keeps her room
in obedience to the advice of her physician.
She is, however, able to move about. The
swelling in the knee is subsiding, and it is
hoped by the physicians in attendance that
it will disappear entirely within few days.
There has at no time been any ground for
the excitement over the matter which seems
to have been created in New York. butwhich
has not prevailed here. The matter creates
very little comment in London.

The Transfer of Power to the Peeple-The
Problem IF the Future.
LONDON March 22.-John Bright, in deliv-
ering an address as rector of Glasgow Uni
versity, said American independence, the
French revolution and the English reform
bill had transferred power from monarchs
and statesmen to the people.
Mr. Brights address, so far as it related to
political questions, dwelt upon the advisa-
bility of peaceable policy, even with view
to self-interest. The cost of the civil war in
America would more than have snficed to
free every slave without bloodshed. With
regard to Ireland, he said if the treaty of
Limerick had been fulfilled and freedom of
religion granted, the sad history of that
country might never have been recorded.
India was the great problem of the future.
