And then q sound as if voice,
Was calling US to prayer.
The sur, withdrawing slowly sank
Beneath the distant hills,
And then was heard the plaintfve notes
OF lonely whippoorwills.
The shadows rested on the vale,

And scarcely could the eye discern
The river from the shore.

In deep and happy sleep,

Gloomy Wheat Prospect.

Mr.. Robt. Beverly, OF The Plains,

successful farmers, and perhaps the
largest wheat grower in Virginia.

cept Florida, and do not think It

unprecedented cold winter -- the

THE FIRST SETBACK.

Mr.. Cloyeland's administration, not yet
on its legs, got its first chill vest erday.-
The new cabinet names were sent in to the
Senate as heretofore published Bayard,
state; Manning, treasury Endlcott, war
Whitney, navy; Lamar, interior; Villas,
post Office; Garland, justice. The courtesy
of the Senate requires when the name Of
one of its late mombers is sent in for an
Office that the confirmation shall ho imme-
diately made without the usual reference
10 "A committee, But Senator Riddleberger
wouldn't have it that way. He objected
to tue confirmation Of Bayard on the
ground that he was un-Amercan. This
had reference to Bayards attitude on the
lri.h question: ho having introduced in the
senate resolutions denOuncing the dyna-
m.ters when the attempts were made 10
blow up'the Parliament houses aud the
Tower. Senator Rlddleberger then strong
ly denounced Bayard's resolutions aud
prevented their passage. Mr., hayard has
been rOundly Denounced and Mr.. Riddle
berger greatly praised in many Irish circles
for the action which each respectively took
on these resolutions. There il no doubt
but that Mr. Bayard's appointment to the
State department is bitter pill to the
Irish generally. No man more objoctiona-
bic to them could have been appointed
They remember that he has been one Of
the most trucking and subservient to
England Of all the members Of the Senate
THIS was specially apparent in his attitude
on tho Nicaragua canal treaty. He took
the ground that II the treaty was modified
England would be greatly offended, aud
seemed to be in abject fear that Great
Britain would do something terrible TO this
country il our policy and treaties with
other powers were not in accord with her
wishes. The Irish bave been badly snub-
he'd in Bayard's appointment Besides,
they wanted Congressman Collins OF Bos-
ton TO have cabinet position. They plead
ed earnestly for him, butin vain. Senator
Riddleberger knows all this, and has put
himself in the attitude Of representing
Irish hostility from the start to Cleveland,
and in this he will have a strong Irish sup
port throughout the country. lie asserted
Yesterday that Mr. Bayard was more Eng
lish than American. The objection of Mr.
Riddleberger, under the rules, took the
whole list Of cabinet nominees over until
to-day. Thoy will doubtless DO confirmed
