A PARODY on THE RI ZEN.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While bordering, weak and weary,
Ger the war of the Rebellion ana the things
that were before
While 1 sat engaged in thinking,
Brandy cocktails slowly drinking,
Suddenly I saw blinking, one-eyel
figure at the door.
All! never shall forget it
And ever will regret it,
That 1 looked out towards the door;
For saw a INDUSTRIOUS figure,
Like a giant, only bigger,
And there stood u big buck Niger
With his back against the door
Leaning there. and nothing more!
And his eyes were straightway spyin &
Where my ham and eggs were fiyimg
And the poker it was lying near The hearth
upon the floor.
Then with the most determined vigor
Straight hurled it at the niger;
But so quick was that big Niger that it
missed and struck the floor
Missed the nigger's head completely and
fell harmless on the floor
Hit his heel, and nothing more.
Then his ifHpudence beginning,
And his gums exposed in grinning,,
With smile by no means winning did lo
view me from the door;
And he quietly said "your treat, man /;
Twill not so in the street, man,
TIL get something to eat, man. will
never leave your door
Never quit your chamber, though you beat
me till ! roar
Never leave you, never morew
"Nigger," said !, ''thou art freed man,
But you have gone so much to seed,
man,
That will give little feed, man, as you
seem to be so poor,
Provided You will work half an hour or
mOre'
Quoth tho Niger, "never morc.'
Much marveled, this ungainly
Niger should refuse so plainly,
To do Il little work. twoufd bc half an
hour or more
For we cannot help agreeing
That no living human being
Should refuse to labor, seeing that he was
so blasted poor
Should refuse to Darn dinner no saw cook
ing on the stove---
Though he ate ono, never moro!
"Nigger," said l, "tking of evil,
Quit my room-go to the devil
Join the army-go to Texas
Never come back here to vcX us
Meier again return to- yeX us--ncycr let me
see you more!''
Quoth the niger, "Never morc;''
And the image still is standing
In my entry, on tho landing
A pretty bury picture with his btck
against the door,
And his eyes arc ever spying
Where my ham and eggs are frying
And tho poker still is lying near tho
hearth upon the floor.

Washington whispers.

WASHINGTON, September 17.-Colonel
Alex. McCook and Lieutenant S. w.
Groesbeck of the Sixth Infantry. have
been detached to meet at Ogden, Utah,
the Chinese Commissioners coming
from San Francisco to investigate the
difficulties which recently occurred at
Rock Springs, Wyoming, and to act as
their escort during the investigation.
Worthington c. Ford, Brooklyn, has
been appointed chief of the statistical di-
vision of the State Department, vice
Michael Schanlan, who remains in the
bureau as a fourth class clerk. Mr.. Ford
is a newspaper man by profession.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Knott has returned to this city from
tour of inspection over the railway
postal system of the West. Mr.. Knott
was absent four weeks, and went as far
west as Bismarck on the Northern Pa
cific Railway and Gunnison on the Den
yer and Rio Grande Railway. His
object was to study the system
thoroughly, and ascertain the wants of
the western country in the matter of
mail transportation Mr.. Knott expressed
himself well satisfied with the present
railway mail service, and commended
the fast western mail, particularly
pointing 10 the great speed of trains,
the rapidity OF transfer service at
Chicago for points west, and the
smoothness and accuracy OF the whole
service. Travelling in the railway postal
cars, and having had frequent inter-
views with the employees, Mr.. Knott
came to the conclusion that the division
superintendent and clerks were Ca
pable and intelligent, and well
equipped for the discharge of their
duties. Owing 10 lack Of time, he was
unable to give much attention TO the
Star Route service, but from his perso-
nal observations on the several long
routes, and conversation with postmas
tiers; he satisfied himself that on the
important Star Routes service is very
good. Mr.. Knott says that while no
radical charges in the railway trans
portation system are contemplated, he
received number of suggestions
during his trip and himself noted sew
eral instances where he believed the
service might be improved. but these
ideas were crude and would only be
carried out after consultation with the
Postmaster-Generala and officers of the
department.
A computation made in the Treasury
Department to-day shows that the
bullion value of the standard silver, &C
coading to London rates of silver, is

The Terror of the Prairie.

STEELE, Oak. September IA ter
rible prairie fire is raging west and
north of here all day. Reports from
Sterling, eighteen miles west, are
that the farmers in that region
lost everything. Passengers on
the east-bound train report seeing
ten to fifteen stacks of wheat on
fire at the same time near here.
The losses in grain range from
100 to 5000 bushels to each farmer.
Mrs. w. L. Bedford, seven miles from
here, inhaled the flames while fighting
the fire, and is in a critical condition.
The fire is still raging, and will prob
ably cause still greater damage before
it is extinguished.

Argus special from Buffalo, Oak, says a
prairie fire north of here this afternoon
destroyed 200 stacks of wheat on VIM.

A Mysterious visitor.

MONMOUTH, ILL.,, September 1.-THE
spectacle of an enormous balloon sway
ing above the city, few hundred feet,
drew people from their stores and
houses this afternoon till the streets
were crowded. The excitement be-
came intense when shortly the air ship
swooped down and impaled itself on
the s2ire OF the Catholic Church
near the public square. The balloon
at once collapsed, and hundreds of
citizens helped to drag the concern to
save torn shirt sleeve, cuff and some
branches of oak, indicating collision
with tree tops somewhere, and the pos
sible death of an aeronaut. All efforts
to discover whence the balloon came,
and the name and fate of Its occupants,
have, as yet, been unavailing.

A Strange Story of Telephone Talk to
Europe.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Press
Association furnishes lengthy accounts
of an alleged discovery whereby tele-
phone communication across the At
lantic is made possible. The inventor
of the instrument, it is said, Is native
of Texas and has no scientific reputa-
tan. He employs an instrument of
enormous power. II is also alleged
that a certain company has acquired
the sole right to use the instrument, and
a well-known millionaire has given the
inventor. whose means are exhausted,
carte blanche to perfect the invention,
which will cost $5OO,OO0. The new in
strument, it is asserted, has been sue
cessfully experimental with in the Gulf
of Mexico. The story lacks scientific
data, and has the appearance of a
hoax.

Down on Silver.

LONDON, September 1.-THE lowness
of silver is seriously affecting financial
operations. The Vienna mint could
clear 2 per cent. by buying silver
abroad and coming forms.
The Times and Standard, commenting
upon repeating the Bland law, say it
can only cause temporary incon-
venience. The market would soon find
its level and in the long run would not
affect any interests excepting those of
silver producers. The Standard saws:
American fnanciers are more likely to
redeem greenbacks than to sell silver
dollars at from 3 to 80 per cent. discount.
