Powers and Barrett.

Representatives Powers Of Vermont and
Barrett of Massachusetts had little tilt in
the national house at Washington last Fri
day. A question regarding mortgage
foreclosure of the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road was under discussion. Powers limited
that Barrett's opposition to his motion was
base, on selfish interests
If any Massachusetts interests were
involved, he declared emphatically, they
were not involved in the dire cton of pub
lie good. Boston was the place where
railroads were wrecked, and it was dirty
chusetts, he went on, ironically, was a
great state. 1t had furnished two presi
dents, the two Adamses, but both were
unfortunately now dead; it hal furnished
the greatest intellectual genius in our his
tory, Daniel Webster, also dead, and the
most placid statesman who ever sat in this
hall, Charles Sumner, also cead These
great men had passed away, and we were
left to-day, he said, to bask in the sunshine
of the gentleman from Massachusetts and
learn righteousness at his feet. 1.-The
gentleman. from Massachusetts,, he con-
cluded, might be one of the most useful
men on this floor, but the trouble with him
| is that he assumes there is nothing on this
floor worth respecting. He came here to
shed light. He knew this was chaos OF
darkness when he came. He was born,
Mr.. Speaker, to be rose with this destiny
of blooming and blushing upon this floor
but his fate has been to wither and waste
bis beauty in the desert air.
In reply Barrett said: g came here
with no reputation beyond service in the
legislature of my state, but the gentleman
from Vermont came here after long tern
of service on the supreme court of hi;
state. What was the record of that court
Ask any one of the shareholders OF the
Central railroad of Vermont, who were
robbed by the DEGREES of that court, and
than let the gentleman from Vermont
talk to me of Massachusetts wrecking rail
roads,
/ Mr.. Barrett, proceeding, said he did no
care Tor the ridicule contained in the com
garrison between Webster and himself, bu
he felt it his duty to defend the men of hi
state from the charge of railroad wrecking
The wreck of the Central railroad OF Yer
mont, he declared, when that railroad wa
in the hands OF the supreme court OF tina
tate, as receiver. was the most complies
IN railroad history. 1t was stencil in th'

many to dispute it.

A POSTER TRAGEDY.

"A purple moment of bright blue bliss
Was mtne, oh, green-haired maid.
When from your lips yellow kiss
l slipped In the dark-red shade.
The ecru moon hung on a tree;
We sat by a vertical brook;
You were a-laughing in olive-pink glee,
And reading the edge Of a book.
And was singing lavender song,
Speckled and mingled with blue;
But l stopped for moment, perhaps not
too long
And kissed you; took perhaps two.
BY the red hills topped with golden snow,
BY the trees tearing holes In the sky.
! swore the red world / would overthrow
Fer your love, or lie down and die.
But away from my vowing I was rudely
Snatched
And thrust far. far from you:
Ihe color I wore with the landscape
matched,
And that would alas, never do.
And now among the blue lilies afoat
On a sea of brown and red
] sit on the edge of an olive green boat.
And hold my pea-green head.
London Figaro.
