I'm IN love, am certain, this dine.
neal witness my dolor6us signs.
ms detection unfejgned and sublime,
q no the ByrOnic gloom Of these eyes,
EyeV charm OF my darling one tries
Mofe sweet than the rest to appear.
And my heart in its own agony cries
An me, she il dear, too dear.
All the glow OF some tropical cline
Hall hid meath her lily skin lies,
0us ner breath seems TO whiten in rhyme
neu 70 boldness she calmly replies,
WIKI passion and distance she dies,
Ana hope, though tfemble with fear,
ME these words from my bosom uprise,
All me, she is dear, too deasl
For her sake would plunge into crime,
Ut with virtue the world would surprise;
Ny soul IN her cause I'd begrime,
wouid mount TO the star-spaftered skies.
But cannot by any surmiac
toward the port OF her good favor steer,
20 murmur in dolorous wise
An me- she II dear, too dear!
ENVOY.
Che has taken my life for prize
without paying me even tear.
ana my sorrow cannot Disguise
An me, she Il dear, too dear.

Rear-Admiral d. r. Harmony has been
authorized to hoist his flag on the Lancaster
on the 23d OF June. and ordered to proceed to
the Asiatic Station and relieve Rear-Admiral
George E. Belknap of the command Of that
Station.
Orders have been issued By the War Depart
ment directing the abandonment Of Fort
Abraham Lincoln, n. d., and this order Is a
source Of sorrow to the town of Mandan. as
about $4,000 per aunum dropped into the
Golfers of the people Of that place from the
trade of the troops. The fort has served its
usefulness, but whenever the soldier Of 1875
passes by its toppled ehimneys and decaying
timbers he will remember that it was from the
site of those ruins that Custer and his little
band marched upon their last long scout Ieay-
ing behind them forever their wives and chill
dren.

tried for negligence in stranding the tug

Iquique, Chile on Saturday, June IS, for San
Francisco, accompanied by the insurgeut
Chilean transport Itata with the arms aud mu-
nitiohs Of war that she took from San Diego,

A sensation was created in Naval circles In
San Francisco last week when il was learned
that large amount Of dutiable goods was
seized on the United States men -Of-war Omaha
and Swatara on their arrival at San Francisco.
1t is the custom for the commanding officer Of
war ships coming from foreign ports TO submit
a manifest Of the articles brought in by officers
but this was neglected in tho case Of the yes
sells above named, and search by special
agent revealed the presence Of large amount
Of valuable silks and curios which are dutiable
and were evidently intended to be struggled in.

responsibility placed where 10 belongs
AS soon as the work on Fort Sheridan (near
ChicagO) is completed, the garrison there will
be increased 10 900 men, embracing three
arms of the Service which will make it one Of
the largest gRrri5Ons in the United States. This
increase will not take place for some months,
however. The additional force will be taken
from the Department of the Platte.

ALWAYS AT THE FRONT.

The ladies of Potomac Relief Corps, W.R.C,
auxiliary 70 the Department Of the Potomac,
GAR, never undertake anything for the BEN
eft Of their Order that they do not carry out to
successful conclusion; and it is doubtful IL
any other Corps in the country does better,
or even as we'll, in the matter Of entertain
ments designed to keep up enthusiasm, and
at the same time furnish money with which to
carry on the benevolent work to which the
Woman's Relief Corps stands pledged.
A lawn party in juno is one Of three
recognized annual entertainments given by
Potomac Corps. the other two being Reunion
and reception in October, and benefit for the
relief fund in Mdwinter. These, with Dumer-
Gus special entertainments throughout the
year, serve TO promote an enthusiasm which
keeps this Corps always at the front in the line
of duty.
The lawn party given last Thursday evening,
Jane IL. by the aforementioned Corps on
Judge Dewees's lawn at the corner Of Twenty
sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, the use
Of which for the purpose was generously ten
dered TO the committee, was the mos, magnif-
cent affair of the kind ever seen in Washing
ton. The grounds were brilliantly illuminated
by hundreds of Chinese lanterns and number
Of locomotive headlights, the latter being gra-
tuitously loaned to the Corps by tho Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad officials in Baltimore. Here
and there about the grounds were scattered
booths for ice cream, confectionery, lemonade,
etc., which did business highly compliment
airy to the ladies having charge Of them. The
matter Of decorating the grounds had not been
overlooked, for wherever flag could be placed
or banner hung the flag and banner were
there. The Marine Band furnished music the
program being we'll suited 10 the occasion. Over
1,400 people were present, and all voted the
party 4 success.

NEW COIN DESIGNS,

A committee of artists, consisting Of Messrs.
Augustus st. Gaudens, of New York, Henry
Mitchell, of Boston, and G. f. Barber, of Phila-
delphia, spent several hours one day last week
IN consultation with Director Of the Mint
Leach, in examination Of several hundred de-
signs and models for new silver coin, which
had been submitted in response to a circular
sent out by the Treasury Department At the
conclusion Of the inspection by these celebrated
artists and the Director of the Mint, it was
unanimously agreed that while many Of the
designs submitted were very meritOriou5, there
were none that conld be considered enough
of an improvement on the present coins TO JUS
tify change, and they were all consequently
rejected and returned to the sendeTs. There
will be no new designs for coins for sometime
TO come consequently as Director Leach has
not decided what steps 10 pursue in regard to
the matter.

go. RATHRoNE,s SUCCESSOR.

There is n great deal of speculation in the
POstotliee Department as TO who will DO given
the position of Chief Post0fiice Inspector to

time ago promoted to be Fourth Assistant Post

is a difficult one to OIL, requiring high execu-
tive ability and a thorough knowledge Of ali
the details of every branch of the postal SER
vice. Ii is generally thought that Maj. Rath-
bones successor will be one of the Division In
spectors, and there are six of these who are
candidates for appointment. Capt. James
Stuart, the efficient Superintendent of tho
Chicago Division. who is an old Indiana veter-
an, is making Ggh, for the position, and his
friends think he will DO successful. Comrade

last week and invited him and his family 70
visit the Southern Interstate Exposition, to be

Der next The delegation was headed by Sem
ator Ransom, of North Carolina, who told tho

ceive serious consideration, and knew that he
would be cordially received; bat that he could
not make any promise; that October and No

would therefore be obliged to leave the matter
open, but would keep the invitation in mind,
aud see if he could accept il when the time
came,
