HER HAPPIER LOT.

To that strange city on the hill
My heart by its great sorrow led.
With grievings that no faith could still,
came. my gift of flowers to spread,
My tears to shed.
LQ, in TINT city strange and fair,
Whose restful paths to-day I trod,
Lay like blessing everywhere.
On shaded street and hOwer-strewn sod,
The peace OF God.
Afar, the river. like thread
OF silver, poured, and farther down
Lay fields that had been harvested:
And autu,mn leaves, red, gold and brown,
Made earth a crown.
And farther still. city where
Men go about with smiling eyes
The while their souls great burdens bear;
And mingled means aud songs and sighs
From pale lips rise.
And in that city down below
Men note the yield of yellow grain,
That blight or bloom, or rise OF wave,
Means loss or gain.
Down there they clasp each others hand,
And Tainly try to dull the ear
Against the pitiless command
Which some sure day all men must hear,
And all men fear.
Tomorrow or to-day. may be,
I. too, must start on unknown ways,
Or you to dread uncertainty
Will go from me"
They do not reck of fertile fields,
They care not in their peace divine
For shrunken streams or stinted yields
They never ask for any sign
OF oil or wine.
They do not mourn in vanished dreams,
Nor weep for fame or love unwon,
Nor long for that which only seems;
They do not sigh at set OF sun
For work not done.
But here the happy dwellers know
Not any burden, pain or loss,
They do not wander to and fro.
To hide hurt or grief or cross
Beneath the moss.
But every bosom, worn and sad.
Hath found for every wound q balm.
And tired hands and feet are glad
In the serene and perfect calm,
Gods gracious aim.
0 fair, sweet city! dare ask
Her back where sorrows never cease?
Back to the pain and care and task,
After the long-desired release
Has wrought this peace2
lay these flowers on her brenst
And whisper, trusting that she hears:
Dear Heart! be thine the utter rest,
The smiles of the unending years,
Though mine the tears"

FOREIGN NEWS.
A BANQUET
Given to the Directo of the Mexican
Central Railroad.

CRY OF MEXICO, May IL.
Last night banquet was given by the city
council to the directors of the Mexican Gen.
trail railroad, at which l40 guests were pres
ent. The banquet was presided over by
Senior Guellermo Vale, president of the
council. Senior Vale made a speech, con-
graduating the country on the completion of
the road. President Nickerson was absent
owing to illness, but his speech was read in
Spanish and English. A member of the
party from Boston in the name of his COM
panions proposed the following toast "Por-
firio Diaz, who like Washington, is first in
the hearts of his countrvmen.'
President Diaz was very much moved.
With tears in his eyes and with his voice
choked with emotion he replied. While
avowing unworthiness, the compliment was
the greatest that it was possible to pay any
man in any language, because the comparison
was made with one who was not only the
most eminent Of Americans, but taken all in
all was the greatest man the world ever saw.
He spoke of the friendship OF the Americans,
and compared it in extent to the compliment
paid him. He considered that one of the
greatest acts of his life was the signing of the
Mexican Central railroad concession, and the
completion of the road had vindicated his
judgment. He foretold the success of the
road. and concluded by rendering the thanks
of Mexico to Boston capitalists for the bene
fits conferred on the country by them.

der of J. 2. Matthews was resumed yester-
day The testimony showed that Robert

back window of the building where the cleo
ton was being held, that only pleasant salu-
tations passed between Matthews and Wheeler
and that when Matthews had voted he was
shot down. The above is the testimony of
Miss Leila Rembert and George NJ. Banks
ton. Wheeler was the only person present
who had gun.
George Thompson and Jack Burton, both
colored, testified that they we're at the poll
when Matthews was killed. They were at
polling place before him. When Matthews
came he shook hands with Coxwell and
Wheeler and remained chatting for a few
minutes with Wheeler until the polls opened.
Thompson saw Wheeler eyeing Matthews
and as soop as he discovered that Matthews
had voted he picked up the gun from behind
the door and shot Matthews, who was stand
ing looking at the ballot box. Burton also saw
Wheeler shoot Matthews. He received one
of Wheler's shots in his leg. Both witnesses
testified that they saw no motion made
Matthews to draw a weapon.

AN INTERVIEW
With General Butler Concerning the
jones' Letter.

New YORK, May 10.
The Sun publishes an interview with Gen.
Butler regarding the letter of Chairman
Jones of the New York State greenback con-
vention. in which was requested statement OF
the Generals views in connection with his
nomination for the presidency by the green
back party. Butler said he had not seen the
letter, but read it in the papers. 81 suppose
the letter must be a hoax" said the general.
l cannot conceive of such performance
done in seriousness. After reading, If it Is
in earnest. should want, it looks so much
like a hoax, Mr.. Jones to answer me ques-
ton or two before I answer him. First: Who
are you Mr.. Jones? Second: Are you in
favor of my nomination by anybody Third ;
If am nominated will you support me:
After ascertaining these three things should
be in condition of mind to answer Jones
question, but" continued the General, "the
whole matter is a Jest. No sound. sober man
could ask me or anybody 10 be bound by a
platform of principles he never has seen and
that is not made. No sane convention ever
knowingly passed such resolution as is con-
tanned in Jones' letter. never heard of such
q resolution.

NFW EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE.
Three Reasons Whv it Should be in
Africa.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY 10.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.
At the conference of the Methodist Epis-
cOpal church this morning, resolution was
adopted providing that all conferences or
ganized outside of the United States, or
which may be hereafter organized. shall be
entitled to the same privileges as those in
the United States.
Rev. DIR. Curry, from the committee on
EpJscopacy, reported recommending that
India be fixed as an Episcopal residence.
Rev. DIR. Taylor, colored delegate from
| the Lexington conference. moved to amend
by striking out the word India and inserting
Africa. He had in his mind for the position
a gentleman of standard proportions. splen-
did physique and excellent digestion. He
referred to his friend Rev. DIR. Lanahan of
Baltimore. Great laughter.
He had three reasons for the amendment
proposed. The first was a poetieal one.
Your fathers, said DR.. Taylor, compelled ours
to live in America and want to compel one
white man to live in my country, Africa.
Renewed laughter] His second reason was
a commercial one. and his third an ecclesi-
| astical one.
Rev. DR.. Lanahan, of the Baltimore con-
ference. said there was no room for mirth or
trifling here.
Rev. A. B. Leonard, d. D., of Cincinnati
said the conference will not probably adopt
DR.. Taylor's amendment now, but the time
is not far distant when such a motion will
prevail. The colored man is prescribed as
| no other man has ever been. The Methodist
Episcopal church can do for Africa what no
other church can do.
The committee on the Freedmen's aid
unanimously adopted a resolution approving
of the Blair educational bill now before Con-
gress.
The committee on missions this afternoon
decided to recommend to the general confer
ence that the missions in China and japan be
made into separate annual conferences and
that the South India conference should have
the privilege to divide itself into two annual
conferences during the next quadrennium.
and subcommittee of three was created to act
on the question relating to the Mexican
mission work.

ANOTHER TARIFF BILL
To be Presented by Mr.. Hewitt IN fhe
House Tomorrow.

Five OF the democratic members of the
ways and means committee, Messrs. Morri-
son, Blackburn, Blount, Herbert and Hewitt,
met at the house of the latter, to consider a
tariff bill which he intends to introduce in
the House tomorrow.
The principal features of the bill will be a
series of recommendations to the Secretary
of the Treasury, and upon the decisions rem
dered by the treasury department., with
respect to the construction of the
present tariff laws. which are designed to
remove a difficulty that now occurres in the
administration of law. Mr.. Hewitt 10 chair
man of the subcommittee of the ways and
means committee, to which the matter was
referred early in the session, and he has been
at work or it since. He has, hewever, added
to these provisions another which proposes
a reduction of the present tariff rates on
some articles, and the abelation of the tax on
others, that will, in his opinion, reduce the
revenue from customs and duties about
$50, 600, 900 per annum. In the latter por-
ton of the bill it is understood that he pro-
vides for the enlargement of the present free
list, to the extent of putting on the free list
all articles enumerated on the free list of the
Morrison bill, as it was reported to the
House, and few others. and that he also
adopted the limitation clauses of the Morri-
son bill with respect to articles enumerated in
cotton, wool and metal schedules, of the
present tariff law. The object of the meet
ing at Hewitt's house was to secure opinions
of members of the democratic majority of the
WAYS and means committee, respecting the
introduction of the proposed bill at this
time The matter was informally discussd.
but nothing was determined as to the consid-
Grafton of the bill by the committee. Hew-
lit WILL however, introduce it in the House.
Chairman Morrison said tonight that the
committee had never considered anything
beyond the Morrison bill. and since the de-
feat of that measure they had not had a
meeting.
