After the Rain.

All day above the I rcd earth had lain,
Huclcss and gray, the funeral pall Of cloud;
llday the sudden sweeps OF chilling rain
Had broken, hffub from the lowering
ghroud:
All day the dreary sobbing OF the breeze
Had sounded sadly from tho yellowing trees.
AT cncc the wailing wind rose high ana
higher.
Rousing 10 flash and'foam the sullen sea;
Andthe great forest, like giant Tyre,
Echoed the keynote OF the harmony:
il Iurled the CLOUDS before il like q tent.
And, lol tho sunshine dazzed from the rent.
And all the wet world gladdcned TO the ray,
As tear-dimmed eyes gleam to q loving
word;
Answering its call out-laughed the weary day,
AS fond slave springs joyful TO her lord,
Forgotten chill and darkness, doubt and fear,
absent, drcop-l JOY, FOR thou art herel'

in their bereavement,a and but one feeling,
that of pure and simple sorTow- -pervades

enemies viii revere lis memory for mag
nanimity in the hour of his triumph; his
friends for his fidelity to convictions and
devotion to his country's call. In defer
enee to a sorrow so general and sincere,
all state public Offices will be closed and

the lamented dead Is funeral, and the peo-

"FoR LOVE OF HER. !"
.,To-morrow i 90. =

The speaker said this softly, sitting
upon the piazza of the Swan hotel,
which overlooked the lake. Beside
her sat man, young, handsome, ro-
mantle, and evidently, to the most
prosaic spectator, deeply in love with
her. Within the windows a cantatrice
lifted her voice in phenomenal trills
and quaycrs. One by one the other
guests had crossed the sills of the
Frcnch-windows to gather about the
piano. Only these two rcmained-the
woman and the young man.
Hc was years her junior, and she was
the object of his first passion. Had you
told him her color was not all her own,
that she had s'donc something to her
hair TO change its brown tint 10 gold,
he would have given you the lie direct.
10 him she was the only pure, perfect,
and beautiful woman in tho world.
Men love like that at one-and-twcnty.
..To-morrow go, she had said, as
if she were sorry for it.
And the youth had answered.:
Don't 60, Miss Chalmers. Why do
you gop Must youPn
Yes, ! must, she said II do not
want to leave this place. One could
stay here for ever, if it were summer
for ever But must, Mr.. Lcster.n
For ever! said the boy. do YOU

would not be willing, perhaps; but I
would stop Time just here, aud we two
should sit alone together on this piazza

sic within there-I-. Oh, you ought

Poor boy! I'm afraid / do. she
answered.
.What do not know, and want to
know, Is, whether you love mcgs he
said. s'Whether you love mo enough
to be my wife? VIII you try to IoYo

Its not a question Of how much I
could love you II tried, she said. II
need not try much, believe, TO love
you great deal. But You say enough

Her eyes went out across the water
again.
The boy made no reply. She waited
for his answer, and, in surprise, looked
towards him again.
She saw only an empty chair.
How he had gone, when, or whore,
she did not know.

said.
She sat and thought strange thoughts:
how women had married old men. and
been left widows very soon, and had
married old lovers who had cared for
no one else.
She went to her bed il q sort Of

TT is reported that Messrs. Barnum and
Scott have waited upon the individuals
composing the democratic majority Of the
house and expressed to them President
Cleveland's views upon the silver coin
age question. 1t is rather late now to
attempt to coerce the house into good
works. 1t has passed the point whore it
can redeem itself. twill soon pass out of
existence unwept and unsung. Whatever
attributes the popular branch of tho
forty-ninth congress may develop, it is
impossible for it to prove more impotent
than the present house. The history Of
the present house is soon TO become a
part of the democratic past which in
future campaigns that party will ask tho
country to forget. 1t has only twelve
more working days in which to indict
itself upon the people.

sourbonism in the Senate.

Tho treatment which Emory Speer is
receiving at the hands of the democratic
senators always excepting Senator
Brown is fine sample of the more re-
fined methods by which the south is
kept solid. His nomination by the Pres
ident has been pending before the senate
for more than month. For four years
member of congress, and two years
United States attorney, and confirmed
for the latter Office by the present senate
just one year ago, it would have seemed
that his recent nomination would have
been speedily confirmed. Each succeed
ing week brought a new batch of charges
against him. Apparently 1t would have
been fair to put in all the accusations at
once, but this would not have suited tho
defamers of the young Georgian. They
sought to defamo, but also to delay.
Finally the judiciary committee of
the senate found it necessary to
hold special meetings in ordor to con.
slider this case, and when the hcousa-
tions wore reached they were found to
be so groundless that a distinguished
republican senator stated yesterday that
Mr.. Speer was triumphantly viniicatod

The first matter disposed Of in the swr!'.

taking the deposition of Cen. Grosyonor

Bateman was thon called and related
the Arrangement under which the stable was
kept vi. lie and number of others hired
thGr Stewart castle stables in los2 ana kept
tstir horses there, dividing the expense pro
rata, the accounts being kept in his office. IN
November he sold Il trotting horse that had
been lamed, which was kept at tho stable,
Gen. Swain sending in forage for its use. Tho
horse becoming lame ne (fjateman), in Janu-
ary, 1883, entered into an arrangement with
Swain TO let the latter use his horses, Gen.
Swain in the meantime TO send his forage TO
the stables for the use of those horses. This
arrangement not working very -well, some
time in March, 1883, he told Gen.i Swain that
he would rather pay for the forage outright,
and in March or April did pay Gen. Swain
$50 or S35 for forage for two months.
In answer to the Judge advocate, Mr.. Bate
man said that he gave II guarantee with the
bill Of sale of the horse to Gen. Swain.
The Judge advocate asked the accused to
produce this document which turned out TO
be a bill of sale of two horses from BatemAn to
| swain, dated November, 1882, one of the
! horses being the lamed trotter referred to by
! Bateman, and the other n bay mare. As to
the latter Bateman testified that he had no
recollection of the sale. The trotter was re-
turned TO him about two months after. lie
| did not recolect anything about the return OF
| the bay mare, but knew that he auerward sold
| II to livery stable keeper. lie was asked If
| no had received any consideration from Gen.
Swain for the two horses and said that he
| had not received any money consideration,
| the horses having been brought for trial and
afterward returned. Gen. swain exercised
! ownership OF the horse for about two months,
| 1t being kept ut Stewart Castle stable, and
! witness used the mare whenever he wanted ii,
and had control Of II absolutely until 1t was
| sold.
The witness was subjected to rigorous
cross-examinutiOn by Mr., Boutwell, as to the
| circumstances attendant upon his removal
from and subsequent reinstatement in the
revenue marine service several years ago, and
! explained the matter as in the former trial.
The payment for forage was In cash, and was
not noted in the account of Swain with Bate
man * Co., because II was personal transac
ton.
Upon the conclusion OF the cross-examina
ton of Mr. Batelnan the court adjourned unit
to-day.
Before the court was cleared 1t was an
nouncGd that Gen. Grosyenor had telegrapheC
that he would be In this city to-day and read!

Wonders OF tho Moon.

Grace Chapel was filed last evening at the
lecture on the Wonders Of the Moon" by Rev.
Dr, Appel, OF Lancaster, Pa.
After speaking of the moons astronomical
formation and function, the speaker proceeded
to show the absurdty of the many supersti-
tions relative TO that planet. This was proven
by the report of committee appointed by the
French Academy Of Science, who desired to
timc-honored beliefs. The report was ad-
verse. That the moon was not inhabited was
proven by the fact that there is no atmosphere
or vegetable life there whatever, But the
number OF inhabited worlds was incalculable,
probably reaching to millions. Dr. Appels 5
explanations were illustrated by means of
stcreoptiCon views CleyCrly arranged. The ac-
ton of the moon upon the tides was also
shown in the same manner.
