Real Spring is 4 Tonic-The Toliing Cow
BelI-Mr. Davis Last Poem-A Song of

ONE sunny day this week chaneed to catch
very busy man off duty. He is usually on
duty. When he's not toiling he's asleep or
taking in provisions. This was an exceptional
occasion. He tarried with me long enough to
say: .If he could have spring like this every
year how much happier and better we should
all be! believe that bad spring sends mill
lions on the downward path. The coincidence
of spring and book beer is only dangerous
when spring is abortive, and fraudulent in its
weather. can do better work, more work,
with less friction this spring than can ever
remember being able to do. If apoll could be
taken it would be found, have no doubt at
ALL that the morals, tempers and livers of the
nation have been greatly benefited by this real
rejuvenating joyful spring."

A Soldier of the Right Kind.

General Wiley, of the Second Brigade, N. 6.
r, accompanied the brigade quartermasters to
New York yesterday to help them make the
necessary arrangements for the quartering OF
the troops. The General is justly popular with
the whole brigade. He is q thorough soldier
and doesn't shirk any duty of the camp or pa
rade, as one of his rank might easily do. When
at the inauguration at Washington he was so i'll
that his physicians forbade him to lead his bri-
gade or TO leave his room. He could not draw
breath without intense pain. But he ap-
peered in the parade. ~ have always been out

good opinion for the world" And so,
through the weary hours of waiting and
through the long march the commander d the
Second Brigade sat on his horse and took his
rain along with the just and the unjust, like
the other soldiers. He began to improve after
that and believes 1t did him good.

On this page will be noticed the last poem
written by the late Mr.. Slack Davis. The form
of it is that which Mr.! Davis showed marked
liking for in his latter days. In the form oneis
reminded of Walt Whitman, but the intelligi-
bility and color of Mr.. Davis words prevents
any other resemblance in them to the work of
the Good Gray Poet" There are beauty and
strength IN "a Song of the Sunrise" and it
speaks with consoling assurance of the writer's
confidence in the existence of a hereafter and
what it held in store for him. 1 am told that
Mr.. Davis was a deyout believer in the i'm
mortality of the SOUL and his Christianity was
of the sort that knew nothing of the formal
fetters of creeds and mans imaginings.
twill be surprising to me if Mr.. Davis poems
are not some day held in higher and more gen.
eral esteem than they are to-day.

A SONG oF THE STAGE.

SONG OF THE STAGE.
Look, the ladder stands before you,
Open, freei
Men just waiting to adore you,
Come and seel
You've pretty face-that's money
A voice that's sweet as honey,
Sure the path will be as sunny
As can be.
That's the way the tempter chatters
Of the stage,
To the eirl-in silks or tatters-
In this age.
She ambitious, yes. and daring,
And for fame and fortune caring,
She is led, with little snaring,
To the cage.
Some may win a crown of glory
That's q fact
But with most this is the story:
Something lack't.
Was too modest or too shy. sir
Would not condescend to lie. sir,
Or she, in the public eye, sir,
Couldn't act.',
Fame is nice to think of, very
You may talk
Of a walk to Londonderry
When in Cork,
But it's quite another matter,
Quite different thing from chatter
One that will not make you fatter,
If you walkI
THE popularity of Mr.. Andrew Darlington,
who has been staying in this city for several
days, is that you cannot call him a New
Yorker, Bostonian or Washington man, al
though it would be nearest correct to attribute
him to one of these cities, as he spends most of
his time in them. You cannot say that he be-
longs to any particular city.
Moreover, it would be hard to say what Mr..
Darlington does. He has ample means of his
own, and need do nothing for living. Most of
his energies seem to be devoted to the study of
the latest scientific discoveries in all sorts of
fields. Electricity just now is absorbing his at
tention. On Friday last I met him on Fifth
avenue in the midst of one of those violent
young thunderstorms we enjoyed that day. We
took shelter in the same doorway.
As the storm lessened we moved out from our
refuge, and Mr.. Carrington said: while I've
been about the streets to-day I've been noticing
the bearing of men and animals during the
thunder storms. 1t appears to me that neither
human beings nor brutes are so much terrified
as they used to be at the fash and dazzling
glare of the lightning. account for this on
the ground that the use of the arc electric
light has made the peculiar glare of the light

There are some athletes in the House, Of
whom Hon. Jesse Baker, of Delaware, is one.
He is an amateur ball player with big reputa-

honored and distinguished District Attorney of
Delaware county. he was on the point of accept
ing good offer from the Athletics. of Phila-
delphia. One day, however, his father said:
Jesse, are you going to Philadelphia to play
ball?" Jesse replied: Il think will, father"
Mr.. Baker remained quiet for time and then
spoke. Jesse" he said, .if you go never cross
the career that is opened before him as a
reward as brilliant one. He is the one man
in Delaware county who had the necessary
fighting qualities to defeat Hon. John Robin
son for a denomination, and the fight between
them for the Senatorial seat of Hon. Thomas

A Good One From Allegheny.

Senator Newmyer is one of the readiest de-
baters of the Senate and is as fearless as he is
ready. He has the reputation Of being one Of
the most outspoken and independent Senators
on the floor. If measure doesn't suit him he
states his objections clearly and to the point,
no matter where it may have originated, and he
is just as prompt to defend a measure that he
approves. While he does not carry his point
at all times he is always listened to with atten-
ton, for the fact is very PLAIN that he does not
talk for the sake Of talking, Dut for such rea-
sons as should move every Legislator who de-
sires legislation to be iawless beneficial and
within constitutional lines. Senator Newmyer
Is not always on the popular side of questions,
and does not try to be. He honestly follows
his convictions. whether the majority approves
or whether It frowns, and this is so generally
recognized that his opinions are always treated
with respect. The growth of this feeling as
the session grows older is such that Senators
more and more hesitate to vote against him.
His ability and legal attainments have been
recognized from the first. and the Senatorial
estimate Of them is sufficiently indicated in
the tact that he holds the craftsmanship of the
Senate Judiciary General Committee, posi-
tion second in Importance TO no other in that
body.
