nv WIEE IND CHILD.

Mention having been made Of the fact th
Gen. Henry r. Jackson of Georgia the newt
appointed minister to Mexico, is fond of writil
poetry, we give below some stanzas written
hin during the Mexican war.
The tattoo beats: the lights are gone;
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night with solemn pace moves on;
The shadows thickeu DER the skies; /.
But sleep my weary eyes hath down,
And sad. uneasy thoughts arise.
l think of thee, oh, dearest onei
Whose love mine early life hath blesi;
OF thee and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast.
God Of the tender. frail and lone,
Oh. guard that little sleeper's restl
And hover. gently hover near
To her whose wStchfuI eye is wet
The mother vife-the doHbly dear.
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams Of love, so deep and clear,
And cheer her dropping spirit yet
Nov, as she kneels before Thy throne,
Oh, teach her, Ruler OF the skies
That while BIZ Thy behest alone
Earth's miEhTieS1 powers fall or risei
No tear is weps TO Thee unknown.
Nor hair is lost, nor sparrow dies;
That Thou eznst stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe It's paiui
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost the soldier slain;
Thai from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wsaderer home again.
And when upon her pillow Lone
Her tear-reS cheek Is sadly pressed,
Nay happier visions beam upon
The Frightening eurrehts of her breast;
Nor frovniRg look nor angry tore
Disturb the Sabbath OF her rest!
Whatever fate those forms may throw,
Loved with passion almost Wild,
By dsy. by night-in JOY or woe
By fears oppressed or hopes oeguiied;
From every danger. every foe,
. Sod protect ny wife and chill!

THE TALUE OF THE FIST NAIL
SERVICE

Our New York exchanges are jubilant over
the opening of the new fast mail service be-
tween that city and st. Louis, and with New
York's characteristic habit of measuring the
value of everything by dollars and cents they
have commenced figuring on the saving that
is to be effected by the change. On the
Pennsylvania road the time between New
York and St. Louis is shortened twenty-nine
hours. 1t is neatly calculated that in the
saving Of time over the old schedule the
business men will realize a cash value of
$50, 900 annually. Then again they figure
out that in the amount Of business transacted
between the two cities by mail the interest
on drafts in transit is reduced by one day,
and will be an additional saving In round
numbers of $40, 900 year. This makes an
aggregate of 500, 900 annually of q clear gain
to the two cities, to say nothing of the con-
veuience of the new schedule. What sur
prises US is that the New York fnsnciers
should stop here when there is so much
wealth yet untouched By them. 1t is not
often that New York brokers stop short
when there is anything in sight, but
in this case they have uudershot
the mark by several inches. For
instance, they have made no estimate of
what is saved in the way of travelling ex-
penses. We will suppose that during year
100, 600 passengers pass over the line. In
the twenty-niue hours three additional meals
would be required, which, at as cents q
meal would be an annual saving of $685.,
600. Then there would be a saving in the
price Of 100, 900 sleeping berths for one
night, which would be another 5000, 900.
The quarter each passenger is. expected to
tip the porter with makes another SIS, 600.
There is an aggregate of $3.50, 000, and when
you discount the amount paid out by railroad
passengers in one day for peanuts. popcorn,
candy and papers, the amount would soon
swell up TO over half million. How IN the
world this half a million escaped the eagle
eyes Of the New York ealculators is s mys-
terry. Il must be indeed that Wall street is
stricken with judicial blindness when it
loses sight OF dollar.

MIss0URI,s BURIED CITY.

A strang story comes up from Missouri. At
Moberly in that state some workmen at the
bottom of a coal shaft 800 feet below the
surface came upon a buried city arched in by
a hard and thick stratum Of lava. The streets
are regularly laid out and enclosed By walls of
stone which is cut and dressed in fairly
good although rude style of masonry. A hall
30x100 feet was discovered wherein were
stone benches and tools of all descriptions
for mechanical service. Further search dis
closed statues and images made of compost
ton closely resembling bronze but lacking
luster. OF course curiosity was aroused to
ascertain what kind of people dwelt in this
strange city buried for centuries beneath the
earth's surface. With good deal of diff
Guilty in removing debris the workmen
finally succeeded in reaching spot where a
stone fountain was found in wide court or
street, and from it a stream of perfectly
pure water was flowing, which upon
being tested was found to be strongly i'm
pregnated with lime. Lying beside the
fountain were portions of the skeleton of a
human being and from measurement of the
bones IL was cOuONueu IudL WHeu dllNe LIE
figure was three times the size of an ordinary
man and possessed Of wonderful muscular
power and quickness. The implements found
in the city embrace bronze and aint;knives,
stone and granite hammer s, metallic saws
of rude workmanship but proved metal, and
others of similar character. They are not so
highly polished nor so accurately made as
those now finished by our best mechanics,
but they show skill and an evidence of an
advanced civilization.
The searching party spent twelve hours
in the depths, and only gave up explorations
because of the oil in their lamps being low.
These facts are vouched for by the recorder
of the city of Moberly and the city marshal,
who were of the exploring party. The story,
if true, is singular, and if not true is yarn
that would have done credit to Missouri in
the pal miest days of her romancing.

an HONEST CONFESSION rs GOOD
FOR THE SOUL,

In spirit of commendable frankness the
Dispatch has good word to say in support
of the sound condition of st. Pauls financial
| affairs under Democratic management. In
commenting upon the official statement OF
the city comptroller, which has been pub
lished for several days past in the columns OF
the GLOBE, our evening contemporary says:
''In the light of this favorable showing 1t is
no wonder that the credit of our city stands
so high. AS Comptroller ROCHE remarks
The bonded debt of St. Paul dwindles into
insignifcance' when considering the ample
resources there are to meet it. No better
boom document can be sent out than Comp
troller RoCHE's statement. 1t should be dis
tributed by thousands all over the country"
Such candor is really refreshing when placed
in contrast with the persistent efforts OF the
Pioneer Press to induce people to believe
that under Democratic management the city
was rapidly sinking into a state
of hopeless bankruptcy. The GLOBE
has asserted time and again that
st. Paul was one of the most economically
governed cities in the whole country. The
Pioneer Press has been holding up Mime
apolis as model in the way of cheap munich
pal government, and yet in response to our
challenge to show that the rate of taxation
was less in that city than in St. Paul, our
morning contemporary has maintained
stole silence. That journal knows, as we
know and everybody knows who has exam
ined into the matter, that the rate of taxation
to-day is less in Democratic ST. Paul than it
is in Republican Minneapolis, and at no time
have the bonds of the latter city brought
premium. Comptroller RoCHE's official state
ment is trumpet-tongued response to the
slanderous statements that Democratic man
agement of st. Paul's finances has been ex-
the city.

a HETERODOX MINISTER.

DR.. FISHER seems to have thrown good
sized bombshell into the theological camp at
Minneapolis yesterday morning. 1t is very
bold assertion for minister of the gospel to
make when he denies the inspiration of any
part of the Bible, and it is no wonder that
the paper read by him at the ministers meet
ing created a sensation. Without intending
to take part in the discussion we feel free
to say that it is difficult to make DIR. FISHERS
position consist with the avowal of CHRIST
that His mission was to fulfill the law and
not to abrogate It, If the moral features, or
as Dr. FISHER designates them, the immoral
features, of the Old Testament are really so
discreditable as the Minneapolis clergyman
deems them, it is q most singular fact that
CHRIST and his apostles and the evangelists
all failed to detect them, or, if discovered by
them, that no effort was made in their preach
ing or writing to correct or even explain
these mistakes.
Without intending our remarks to apply
to the heterodox condition of the Minneapo-
lis pulpit, we are of the opinion that if min
listers of the gospel would refrain from set
IluS up tucIi ldiIioic JUG iHCutS III OppOSl-
ton to the infallible wisdom of Almighty
COP the cause of Christianity would make
more rapid progress than it is doing. Free
dom of opinion is vouchsafed to every man
and there is no sort Of compulsion to force
an individual to believe what his judgment
rejects. At the same time there can be no
sort of propriety in a clergyman attempting
to preach gospel whose inspiration finds no
credence in his own mind. If he is honest
in his heterodoxy then his sacerdotal robes
should be laid aside and leave the teaching
of the Scriptures to those who believe that the
Bible is the word of COP. Fidelity to COP
and an implicit faith in His word is the very
essence of an honest priesthood.

REPELLING THIS RUSH.
A Demonstration in Dublin.

DUBLIN, April 13.-A scene of great excite
ment attended the departure of the Prince
and Princess Of Wales to-day for the south of
Ireland. Lord Mayor John OConpor hap
pened to drive past the city hall few mo-
ments before the royal carriage appeared.
The large crowd recognized him and Missed
him savagely. Mr.. O'Connor flew into vio-
lent passion. His display of ire only made
his enemies more demonstratiSe in their de-
risive greeting. He then addressed the
gathering and told them they would be sorry
for having Kissed him. He said he would
telegraph Parnell at Cork and Mallow an ac-
count Of what had occurred In Dublin and
they would see what the result would be.
Soon after the Prince aud Princess Of Wales
were driven past the city hall on their way to
the railway station. They were greeted with
long and prolonged cheering.

IT is the most natural thing in the world

IT is the most natural thing in the world
to have England with the prospect of pro-
tracted war on her hands to affect an indie
pendence Of and indifference to the Ameri-
can wheat crop. The very fact that Aneri-
can securities in London have advanced
upon the assumption of an increase in grain
shipments is of itself an offset to England's
assumed indifference to our wheat product.
AT all events our American wheat growers
are willing to take chances on the benefit to
them from war between England aud Rus
STA, and if our relatives across the water are
hesitating about any feeling or interest that
we may have In the matter, then we say to

The news from Europe was interpreted yester-
day by the stock board to mean war certain, and
the consequence is that everybody went to work
buying as fast as possible. The result was that
the first prices were higher than the close on
Saturday night. There was a good deal of ex-
element and prices continued to advance SO that
it looked as though they were going to have an
unusually active day, but against all expectation
from II o'clock on prices weakened and the day
closed dull Wheat advanced all around and
corn and oats frmed up good deal at Chicago,
