At the age of seventy-fJur the author OF " Mar

too feeble for business or labor" 20 he cohcudeu
that it was time for him to begin writing poetry
THE cvncism of age appears IN his further remark
that he has endeavored to clothe his thoughts Win

great middle class of humanity to whom thls
volume is respectfully dedicated" The poems are
Wordsworthian,. of the Peter Bell kind They
nre certainly simple. Here Is verse from one
entitled " The Acme of Misery:
have known a deep misery that cannot be tOid'
Amscry more lasting and cruel touII0ld
Than the deep when mOlar IS torn
From sensitive socket with marrow ana DOhe'
The two PRINCIPAL pieces III the volume are
EMarmondale a Tale of the Sunny South" and
GEveolean a Tale of the Revolution" Considering
the ripe maturity of the author, tine most reWarK-
able feature of these poems Is their length. lhey
seem indeed, to have been written rather for
Eternity than Time and doubt whether the

The author of "Thisbe's Lament. and other
Poems" has thought it necessary to attempt IN his
preface a Justification of his work. 1t was
necessary but the Justification is failure III IS
not true, as he puts it, that

1t depends upon what is implied by the term

and lifetime of this llusory cerebral action cannot
tend to edifcation. Mr. HelmbOld had no ideas OF

those which he did have POLITICALLY. Here is some

Georges amendment was agreed to.
as modifying the Slater amendment, the
latter however, not being part of the
blll, but still under debate.
Brown, OF Georgia, said that consoli-
dation, not competition, was the soIu-
ton OF the railway question. The legis-
latlon proposed would greatly diScour-
age the building of railroads There
may be enough of them in the north
and west. Those sections may have
enough game in their trap to
be able to afford to pull the
trigger. 1t was not so with
the south, which yet needed Railroads.
II the present bill passed, the people
who We're now clamoring for its passage
would then be found clamoring for It's
repeal. 1t would either drive the rail
ways into bankruptcytor else it would
prohibit all interchange of commodities
at a greater distance than 800 or 600
miles, as statistics quoted by Brown
showed that freight could not possibly
bear the same proportionate rate for
LOCO miles. 1t would not only destroy
Interstate commerce, but, by making
long-6lstance ireIghtS from the west to
the Atlantic Coast so expensive as to
prohibit shipment, it would also destroy
onr foreign commerce.

Delayed Trains.

CHICAGO, January 16.-Owing to snow
the trains tonight range from one to
nine hours behind time. The eastern
mails are generally two or three
hours late. The situation is the
worst in the south east and east.
A passenger train coming this
way on the Chicago, Lafayette
& Cincinnati road was, when last heard
of, locked in drifts near st. Anne. An
other passenger train on the Louisville
& New Albany, due here this evening.
is caught in snow bank few miles
from this city, and the people on
board will probably biEouac in
the coaches all night. Shortly after
midnight, the temperature, which had
previously been comparatively comfort
able, began rapid descent, and is now
near zero, and the snow that recon-
menced on Thursday night is still fall
ing. Reports from all along the north
west and east indicate unusual snow
storms.

PHILADELPH January 16.-It was
said here '''aIay that an organized
movement had been begun to prevent
the Liberty bell from being sent to New
Orleans a number OF gentlemen, it
was added, have subscribed large sum
OF money to take legal measures to keep
the bel in Philadelphia.
No., said Secretary James NJ. Swank,
OF the American Iron and Steel Associa-
ton, to-day. II do not look for any
failure in the eastern iron trade. as the
outcome of the failure of Oliver Bros. &,
Phillips, of lPittsburg. Philadelphia
makers have no business relations with
the Pittsburg manufacturers. The two
trades are quite distinct. We do not
send iron there and they do not send iron
here: The failure, however, must have a
dlsplrlting effect upon The iron business
