A Last Talk.

co WINE the dancers Whirl to that dreamy tune
see! the moonlight silvers the sleeping sea,
And the world Is fair as night I'm June
Let me hold your hand as used to do;
This is the last last time, you know,
For Tomorrow wOOer comes to WOO
And TO win you, though love you So
You are pale-Or is 1t the moonlieht,s CLEAN
Inat gives 10 your face that sOrrOwful look?
we must wake at last from our Summer dream
We have come to the end of our tender book.
Love, the poet, has written well;
He has won our hearts by his poems sweet;
And now. at the end, we must say farewell
All, but the Summer was fair and fleet.
Do you remember the night we met?
You wore rose in your yellow hair:
closing my eyes can see you yet,
just as you stood on the tOpmOst stair,
A futter OF white from head to feet
cluster OF buds on your breast All mel
But the vision was never half so sweet
AS 1t Is tonight in my memory.
Here the viols cry, and the deep bassoon
Seems SOODlng out In Its undertOne,
Some sOrrOWful memory. The tune
is the SaddeSt one have ever known.
Or Is 1t because we must part tonight
9 That the music seems SO sad? All me!
You are weeping, Love, and your lips are white
The ways OF life are a mystery.
Hove you. Love, with love so true
That In coming years shall not forget
Inc beautiful face and the dream knew
And memory always will hold regret
shall stand by the seas as we stand tonight.
AND think OF the Summer whose blossoms died
When the frOStS OF fate fell chill and white
On the fairest flower OF the Summer tide
They , are calling you %1 Must let you go'
II we must part, 1t Is better So
GOOd-Dy's such SOrrOwful word to sayi
Give me, my darling, one last sweet kiss
But death holds no parting so sad as this:

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 20, 1883.
We have just had busy and inter-
esting week in Washington. The
city is full of people, so full that the
largest hotels are turning away
guests, and there is everything to
make lively times here for short
season at least. One thing that
brings so many strangers here, aside
from the social attraction, is the con.
dition of business in Congress. TIE
tariff discussion brings an army of
representatives of the various inter-
ests INVOLVED. and the sugar, tobacco
and whiskey men are still hanging
around to keep an eye on legislation,
to say nothing of the hundreds of
other things which bring men here
at this season. Congress is working
with great energy, and one can go
up to the Capitol any day now and
be sure of hearing an interesting de-
bate. The little running discussions
brought out by the consideration of
regular business are always more in
teresting to the thoughtful observer
than any set speech or prearranged
debate. To add to the life of the
Capital recently we have had contin-
ued sleighiDg which has contributed
very much to make things lively on
Pennsylvania avenue. The avenue
is grand thoroughfare nowadays.
In the middle of the afternoon it is as
gay and crowded as any part of Broad
way at the same hour.

tional Committee lately held here

teachers is 1871, averaging one to

teachers aggregate 1870, 1853. or about
1882 per teacher. The disparity be-
tween the number of pupils needing

attending school is even greater in
the counties than in the city. While
the number of different pupils in the

tions for educators and school boards

A Shocking Railway Accident.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 20.-A
terrible railroad wreck is reported
from Los Angeles.
Shortly after midnight the over
land express by the Southern Pacific.
which left here at $40 A. M, yester-
day, stopped near Tehacapa Station
to cut off the extra engine taken on
at Tammen to assist in pulling up
the Tehacapa grade. While making
the change, by some means yet I'M
known the train got away and start
ed down the grade of one hundred
and fifty feet to the mile. The train
consisted of two engines, express
mail and baggage cars, two sleepers,
one coach and the smoker. 1t went
down the grade at frightful speed
for about four miles, when the hind
ermost sleeper jumped the track, and
went over an enbankment about
fifteen feet high, carrying with it the
other sleeper. The mail, baggage
and express cars. which were piled in
a shattered heap, took fire and were
consumed. The coach and smoker
kept on down the grade, and were
stopped without leaving the track
about two miles farther on. All on
board were uninjured. The scene
following the wreck was terrible, A
number of persons were jammed
amid the ruins of the train, and
roasted to death before the eyes of
those helpless to save them. Atpres-
ent it is impossible to give the loss
of life accurately, but it is believed
from twelve to fifteen persons were
killed or burned to death.

JUNIUs.


NEW YORK, Jan. 18th, 1883.
The meeting of the Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee at Washington on
Wednesday last. was the principal
political event of the week, and caus-
ed general exodus of politicians to
the capital city. Its effect however
is very slight. 1t led to a free ex-
change of views among the members,
but it practically makes no change in
the mode of representation. The let
ter of resignation of Stephen w. Dor
sey from the committee however,
though expected, came in unexpect-
eddy, and the language in which it
was coached will give the Democrats
a powerful handle. When he says !:
"From the very nature of the clrcum-
stances l was forced to do many
things upon my own responsibility,
and yet in that entire campaign moth
ing was done by me that was not
most heartily sanctioned by Generals
Garfield and Arthur" he puts the
President into an awkward position
in which silence will probably be the
golden policy.

the President has at last decided not
to make any change in the Custom
House or Post Office for the present.
CT Hector Rohertson's te m ends in
the early summer, and if the Presi-
dent should then desire to appoint a
successor to him, he can do so grace
fully. The fact however that the
party is committed to civil service
reform makes both his and Postmas-
ter Parsons removal improper I'M
der any circumstances. Even Mr..
Robertson's enemies must admit that
we have never had so good a Collec-.
tor as he. The revenue from the Gus
tom House under his administration
has increased enormously, and the
Office is managed in way precisely
similar to the Post Office, which has
always been a model department I'M

administration.
The Republicans in the Legislature
at Albany. have decided upon no
plan of action. They are determined
to wait and see how things run. The
impression is general that they will
not have to wait long, Governor
Cleveland is fast losing caste with his
own party. Then there will be a
quarrel and then the party may go
in and win for 1884.
John Kelly, the Tammany Chief
tain has been out of that kind ofpol-
itics which pays for nearly two years.
He has not grown very poor how
ever during his retirement. His ar
chitect has just filed plans for a row
of new apartment houses up town,
which are to cost when completed
over 100000. 1t is the fashion at
present to give names to new build
ings, and thus Mr.. Kelly's caravan
saries will probably be termed 1.-THE
Wigwam." Mr.. Kelly ought to be
able to charge very high rents for
apartments in his new houses, for
every Tammany office holder as well
as Office seeker will be glad to pay a
little premium. or good one too, for
that matter, for the privilege of being
in the Sachem's tent.
Business at present is very dull,
and the clothing trade. which is the
largest industry in the city and the
second largest in. the country is af-
fected most of all. From what am
told several houses will be obliged to

opens. 1t is the ruinous competition
which is killing them. All this i'm
