A Midsummer Nights Dream.

We have heard the nght-birds calling in the thick
cts far away,
While the shades of eve were falling, while the
twilight gathered gray,
And the scented gales of cleaning waited secrets
from the sea,
And the first pale star was cleaning in golden
mystery.
Then holy calm enwrapt US, and blissful silence
fell;
Far away the doves planning, droned the bee
tie in the dell.
Ali the words that not uttered, like the songs
that not sung,
Are more musical in cadence than are known to
mortal tongue.
spells?
This isle of ancient fable where great enchanter
dwells?
Naught is fair but what dream of; and we
dreamt little while,
As the wanderer in the desert dreameth of the dis
tant Nile.
All the bygone times dreamt of, when the earth
fresh and young,
And great Pan beside the river pped the rustling
reeds among.
There were nalads IN the streamletS, there were
dryads in the trees,
And the apples still hung golden in the fair Hesper
ides.
We wiser; we have banshed from their haunts
the gods of old;
All that wondering faith has vanished with the out
lived Age of Gold;
Yet when moonlight winds blowing, lovers
voices blending low,
Murmur still the same old story Paris whispered
long ago.
Yonder moon is growing paler; soon within the
reddening sky
Shall the star of morning vanish the sun god
draweth nigh,
And the visions that are born in the sweet silence
of the night,
Like mist armies the hlsides, from his darts
shall take their fight.

The Washerwoman's Song

Wiring out the old, wiring out the new,
Wiring out the black, wiring out the gray,
Wiring out the white, wiring out the blue
And thus l wiring my life away.
An occupation strange is mine;
At least, it to people droll
That while I'm working at the line,
I'm going, too, from pole to pole.
Where'er I go I strive to please;
From morn till night rub and rub.
I'm something like Diogenes-
almost live within a tub.
To acrobats who vault and spring
In circuses, take shine;
They make their living in the ring,
And by the wringer | make mine.
My callings humble, I'll agree,
But 1 am no cheap calico,
AS some folks are who stare at me;
I'm something that viii wash, you know
| smile in calm, strive in storm,
With lfe's difficulties cope;
My duties cheerfully perform;
Ny motto, While there's life there's soap.
Wiring out.the old, wiring out the new,
Wiring out the black wiring out the gray,
Wiring out the white, wiring out the blue Il
And thus wiring my life away.

General Manager jeffrey Talks Of Their
Trip to the South - Connection
with Memphis Desired by His
Road.

officials was registered at the Peabody yes
terday. They were Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish,
president; f. T. Jeffrey, general manager;
q. 7. Dawby, H. o. Northcote and
Anyers Northcote, directors, of the ILL
nois Central road The officials have been
making a southern tour Of inspection OF
their road, having come up from New
Orleans to Grenada, Miss, there taking
the Mississippi 4 Tennessee, which is now
leased by the Central, and coming here to
spend the day, leaving on the Louisville
Nashville at 8 o'clock for Chicago. All of
them are young men. Mr.. Fish, who is
the son ofthe late Secretary OF state, Ham
ilton Fish, is, perhaps, one ofthe youngest
railroad presidents in the country. The
Messrs. Northcote and Dawby are En-
glsh stockholders, and reside in New
York for the most part.
General Manager Jeffrey said 10 an AP-
PBAL reporter "Our visit TO Memphis
has no business significance. We wanted
TO come over the Mississippi 4 Tennessee
road which we now control TO see its con-
dition. We have had a delightful visit
south, and are glad TO say we find our in
terests in excellent shape, and the road
doing a very satisfactory business. Not
outstanding our company is making
large connections by intcrsecting roads
throughout the northwest, all OF which
have proven of much benefit to us, we
look most confidently TO the south for our
greatest support Being thus interested
in road which runs centrally through the
south, IL il n part Of my duty TO keep well
posted on its progress and resources. The
prospect, TO my mind, is most gratifying.
II seems that this city is TO be the metro

81 cannot speak authoritatively on that
point, nor would / care TO disclose the fu.

though. Three points have been sugges
ted from which TO run this reported branch
road Jackson, Tenn, Clinton, KY, and
Bardwell, which is about thirteen miller

II would start from. The surveys
and estimates have not yet been made
''Do younot think II is only question o
time when your road will come into Mem
phis from the north2"
"There is no doubt that il would be o
great benefit for us TO have such connec
ton. But as to approximating the time,
can't say. Our connection with this city
