THE SUMMER RAIN.


Sweet blessed summer rain-Ah me
The drifting C'oud-land spills
Gods mercy on The dotted lea,
And on the tented hills.
Yet Is there more than smouded sky,
And more than falling rain,
on swift borne souls Of tiowers that fly
Breeze-littod from the plain
Strange JOY comes with the freshening gust,
The whitening of the leaves,
The smell OF sprnkled summer dust
The dripping OF the caves.
The soul stirs with the melting clod,
The drenched fields silent mirtb
WhUdoes not feel bis heart help Gold
TO bless the thlrsting earth2
oh, raln-oh blessed summer rain
Not IN the ields alone,
Nor woodlands fall, nor flowing plain,
But on the heart of stone

Mn. SHERMAN is very pronounced
and very selfannounced candidate
for the Presidency; Mr.. Blaine's only
announcement so far is that he is not
and will not be candidate. Yet in
the Tennessee Republican Conven.
ton yesterday, the name of Sherman
was not mentioned, while an over
whelming majority Of the delegates
chosen are for Blaine. At present
advices the Ohio senator is a long

should end in a positive refusal to
run, the second choice is not likely to
fall to Ohio.

EDITOR CRITIC; 1t was / think, at least
twenty-five or thirty years ago, when the
Masonic Fraternity of New Orleans en-
ployed Hiram Powers, the late sculptor,
to execute u statue of brother George
Washington for the Masonic Hall in that
city.
As the statue was to be arrayed in
brother Washingtons military uniform,
Mr.. Powers wrote to Mr.. Miner X.
Kellogg who had brought from Italy Mr..
Powers Greek Slave, requesting fac
simile of the suit then deposited in the
Patent Office. Permission was obtained
for the necessary inspection of the gar
ments, but the tailor reporting that
more accurate measurement could be
made on form, Mr.. Kellogg procured an
order TO that effect, and, at his request, !
dressed myself in the "Revolutionary"
rcgimentals. The tailor whose name
forget, noted the measurement of every
particular, even 10 the diameter of II
button, and the fac simile was sent to Mr.
Powers, to his delight and the statue of
the illustrious patriot and brother Mason
now stands on its pedestal m the Masonic
Hall in New Orleans
