o did'st thou hear those echoes sweet
From Mount Mokono's lofty height?
O did'st thou hear the prophet meet
Philosopher tween day and night?
His voice doth float and echo still.
From town to town. from hill to hill,
Mighty it's mission to fulfil:
We greet it in it's might.
Whence came thor most mysterious bard
Thy name does not familiar seem.
Why dost thou perch, my tuneful pard'
Where eagles white are won't to scream
1m1ertinence is not my aim.
But. stranger. what might be thy name
Hark! Do l hear thy voice proclaim.
Thy name is in the theme?
O sing again. it cheers the land
O sing till discords fly for shame;
The feeling heart extends a hand
To fan the muses. living flame.
0 there are lips that silent be
Which once awakened ecstacy.
Why is it thus? All, woe is me!
My sorrow I proclaim.
The blizzard bowls the while I write
In almost fendish revelry;
No stars CLEAN through the gloomy night,
Alive with storm kings cavalry.
o such is life to man mature,
But he must rally and endure,
For love is strong and virtue pure.
Adieu! Adieu! Blithe may you be!

Court Notes.

Judge Morgan arrived on Friday even
ing and opened court promptly at 900
o'clock on Saturday morning, when the
motion for a new trial in the Collins case
was argued. Early as the hour was, the
room was we'll filled, the interest being
greatly increased by the presence of Tracy
r. Bangs. of Grand Forks, who was here
to present the defendants side of the
case. Afhdavits were presented with a
view to impeach the testimony of some of
the witnesses for the prosecution and 9th
ers to establish the theory that a partner
ship existed between Frank Collins and
R. A. Fox. There were two of these lat
ter, one from a w. l. Barnard, general
agent for one of the machine companies
and the other from one Carlton, agent for
another company. These afidavits were
substantially the same, and were to the
effect that r. A. Fox had stated to both
atlantis that Frank Collins was his part
ner. An additional affidavit from Carlton
stated that one Steven Brynjolfson had
offered him 5000 on behalf of the prosecu-
ticn. if he would keep silence. The plea
was also made that the privacy of the jury
had been invaded by one of the bailifs
while they we're celebrating, which lat
ter point seemed to be the one most con-
sidered by the Judge and attorneys-much
to the surprise of men accustomed to
viewing matters from a standpoint of COM
mon sense and justice rather than Of law
as construed by lawyers. The appeal was
most vigorously and ably presented by
Mr.. Bangs, who is fiery in his oratory and
convincing in his logic. but he was ably
met by O'Brien, who evidently succeeded
in convincing the Judge that there were
insufficient grounds for a new trial, and
when court opened Monday morning, Nor
gan announced that he denied the motion.
He then called on the prisoner to stand
UP and receive his sentence-"One year
at the penitentiary at Bismarck. N. D..
beginning this morning at 9 o'clock" The
Judge was very kind in his me and
the sentence was as light as the law al
lowed. Of course. an appeal was taken
to the supreme court. where the decision
Of Judge Morgan will either be affirmed
or the case sent back for a new trial.

we will leave that to the imagination
Suffice to say that at 1880 that evening
Briarvalc was dccorously scandalizcd by
seeing the dcacon's old white horse de-
murely trotting into town, the deacon
and Miss Nervey. both in their Sunday
best, seated together quietly chatting on
the jump seat of the Concord wagon. Nor
was the shock lessened when the wagon
drew up at the parsonage gate and the
deacon assisted Miss Nervey to alight, es-
corting her within the sacred precincts of
the parsonage parlor.
1t was not until the friendly darkness
hid them from the prying eyes of the
townspeoplc that they once moro emerged
on the open street. That Miss Nervey,
with the dcacUn's assistance had made
ample nmenCs to the Rev. Jared's offend.
ed dignity WAS clearly evident in the hearty
shake of her hand as the pastor babe Mrs.
Buckly" good night. AS to the deacon
and Miss Nervey, the tender glow on their
happy faces prcsaged an Indian summer
which, though it might lack the full lus-
ter of June, would yet shed light and
warmth far into the drear November days.

The POst.0ffice at Sea.

The system of railway post-oftices
has been so successful, and means of
saving so much valuable time, that it
has been extended to the transatlantic
steamships. This was begun under
Mr.. Wanamaker's administration as
postmaster-general, but so far mail
clerks have only been placed on the
American ships running to Southamp-
ton, and on the German ships that 90
to Bremen and Hamburg. On each of
the vessels Of the lines mentioned large
state-rooms have been set aside and
fitted out for the use of the postal clerks.
Big racks of pigeon-holes stand up
against the walls, and the mail pouches
hang from stands in the center of the
room. In these post offices the clerks
work from eight to ten hours day dur
ing the entire voyage, distributing the
mails by cities and states when coming
this way, and by railroad lines when
going to Germany. On each ship there
is one American clerk, one German
clerk, and German assistant. The
American is in charge going eastward,
and the German has charge of things
coming this way. These clerks,
course, are men of energy and intelli-
RCnCO. L HtN are Tue D6Sl LudJeTldl
taken from the postal services of both
countries. The Germans wear gaudy
uniforms with military caps and swords,
and are called by the high-sounding
name of Reichs Post Secretaer. The
American calls himself sea post
clerk" In spite of the lack of gold
braid and side.arms, however, the
Americans are the most reliable men.
1t is said that when the " Elder" went
on the rocks on the coast of Ireland
last year the Reichs Post Secretaer
grabbed his sword and made for the
life-boats. The American stood to his
business, and did not leave his post
until he had overseen the transfer of
the mails from the leaking ship to
tug. These sea post clerks handle
about 100000 letters and sixty sacks of
papers each trip; but in December and
January their work is almost doubled.
