priating 100000 to build one gunboat Of an
experimental type, not to draw more than
twelve feet of water, and have n speed Of IF

VESPERS AT GALL SOULS'.o
BY SAMUEL ADAMS w1aaiH.


He said there was no night of gloom and pain,
He said Gods love was life, aud Joy, and peace
There was no future full of care aud woe,
That at the last there was glad release.
A sweet release from sorrow, want, and shame,
blessed love enCirCled-love brought rest
For all earth's wayworn travellers there
A folding to yoarning fathers breast.
A meeting of the father and his own;
A prodigal, perhaps, but still precious child;
purple robe In lieu Of filthy rags.
a jeweled ring for hands all undened.
A feast Of Joy, and light, and happy song;
table burdened with the heavenly food,
Adorned with spotless fragrant asphodels,
And juicy fruit from of the treo of good.
And so my downcast heart was comfortcd
My spirit dropping meath n weight of caro-
Revived as with the dewy breath of heaven,
My soul on pinions cleft tho periumed mir.
The organ breathed glad harmonious strain,
While sweet soraphic voices sang
Up thro the vaulted roof to His white throne
The " Gloria in Excelsis Dec" rang
So In my heart I still say "God is Love-"
And so because lie lives forever, evermore.
All souls shall live thrO ages yet to come
All souls ut last may find the heavenly homo.

CAUCUSES.
TIE REpuRLIcANs.

A conference of the republican caucus COM
mittee of the senate was held Saturday to de.
termine which of the various measures now
pending in tho senate shall be regarded as tho
most important to press to a vote when tho
tariff measure shall have been disposed of.
Senators Edmunds, Allison, Sherman, Hill,
Miller, of California, Harrison, and Aldrich
were present and devoted three.quarters of an
hour to discussing the general subject But
it was virtually decided that the shipping
bill seems to present greater claims for prece-
dence than any other measure aside from the
appropriations, and the general understanding
was reached that this bill should be first
called up after the tariff bill and the pending
appropriation bills shall have been disposed of
THE DEMOCRATS.
The democrats of the house met in caucus
in the hall of tho house Immediately after
adjournment on Saturday. The caucus was
called for the purpose of determining what
action to take in regard to the Kasson rule,
which provides that by majority vote the
house may, until the fourth of March, suspend
the rules and take from the calendar Of the
committee of the whole or from the speakers
table any tariff internal revenue, or appro-
priation bill, instead of requiring a two-thirds
vote to suspend, but after an informal discus
sion, lasting about twenty minutes, 1t was de-
cided to await the action of the committee on
rules, which has not yet reported. The in
formal discussion developed the fact that
while the sentiment of opposition to the
Kasson rule is general among the democrats,
who will all vote against it, they cannot be
controlled by caucus to the extent of refrain
ing from voting TO prevent u quorum. Another
caucus will be held after the report Of the
com mittec on rules has been presented.

Hartford Courant,: The Russians are most adroit diplomatists, and most perti- nacious. The history of their advance in Central Asia to nearly the complete control of 1t exhibits 8 consummate method. When 1t became evident that Russia was intent on occupying Mery, and advancing that much nearer to the Indian frontier, there was great hutter among the English statesmen, and Russia protested that she had no such intention. But the campaign of General SkobeleF against the Tekkes brought her very close to her object. There has been report recently that Rus sia would conclude treaty with Persia which would outfank Mery. Of course such a treaty could not well be made with out an exchange of diplomatic notes with England. And Russia has devised bet ter plan It seems that Russia has in 8tructed the khan of Khiva to look after the Turcomans of .Mery. The elders of Merv own themselves to be subjects of Khiva, and as Khiya is only puppet in Russia's and Khiva is virtually. part of the czar's domain, Merv becomes part of Russian territory without the movement of soldier or even any diplomatic demon stration with which Russias opponents in Asia can find fault It is only Q question of time when Persia itself will be as com pletely under the power of Russia as is now nearly the whole of the rest of Central Asia. As political and military prganiza- ton Persia is onlya hollow shell.

Prices for nearly all kinds of fish are al- most 10 per cent higher this year than they have been for more than five years, and yet there is not as much profit within 15 per cent as there was at that time Bluefish are much seareer than usual, and there seems to be 10 maekerel. Sword fish and haddock are plenty, but the de- mand for them is not so large as for other fish. The scarcity of lobsters has caused demand for the hard-shen crab.

ED1roR OF PREss The article in your paper of Aug. 2d relative to the Crescent Beach enterprise, I think is calculated to mislead the minds of many who may have read it. As am knowing to all the facts pertaining to this movement, may be all lowed to say that the principal object iii the purchase of this land was to secure . place sufficiently large and easy. of access as to accommodate all who would like to attend the several annual conventions of the state, or of associations. This has be- come necessary, as 1t has been found diff cult to secure places where two or three thousand people could be accoinmo odated It seems to me that it is no more of sec tarian movement than the building of 8 house of worship, or establishing 8 church by any order or denomination. The Meth odists, Congregationalists, and others have their especial places of resort, for worship, recreation, etc, Are the Baptists alone to be set aside as sectarian because they seek for proper advantages and methods for carrying on their denominational work :? And further, none are restricted Any one has the privilege of purchasing Q lot, without regard to sect. Indeed two of our respected Methodist clergyman have pur- chased lots, perhaps there are others who sAIG AOt 10 uliSlL tJLIF- 1ege. As to the trouble mentioned, I know of none, except the trouble of ob- taining deed satisfactory to the associa- ton and the landlord. The deed has been given, cottages are being built, avenues and walks will soon be constructed A large tabernacle will be built, and every body will be welcome. So let the thing prosper, and We be led. to rejoica in the work If 011r hands R Ef rFAvTOp
 New London, Aug. 9th, 1883.
 The article referred to was not discrim- inatery. The Baptists were not the first to establish sectarian places of resort. The Press means only to protest against any Aerding together of religious sects by themselves as undenocratie, as we'll as un- social, and calculated to iatensify sectarian feeling-an existing aad dangerous evil of the day.
