i would fly from the city's rule and law,
From its fashions and forms cut loose.
And go whore the strawberry grows on its straw,
Ane the gooseberry grows on it's goose;
Whore the catnip tree is climbed by the cat,
As she clutches for her prey-
The guiltless and unsuspected rat,
On tho rattan bush at play:
will catch at ease the saffron cow
And tho cowslet in their glee.
As thcy slip in joy from bough to hough
On the top of cowslip tree
And list while the partridge drums his drum,
And the woodchuck chucks his wood,
And the dog devours the dogwood plum
In the primitive solitude.
Oh! lot me drink from tho moss-grown pump
That was hown from the pumpkin tree
Eat mush and milk from rural stump,
From folly and fashion free
New gathered mush from tho mushroom vino.
And milk from the milkweed sweet
With luscious pineapple off the pine;
such food as the gods might eat.
And then to the whitewashed dairy III turn.
Where the dairymaid hastening hies
Her ruddy and golden-red butter To churn
From the milk of her butterflies;
And I'll rise at morn with tho the earliest bird,
To the fragrant barnynrd pass,
And watch while the farmer turns his herd
OF grasshoppers out to grass.

The MoIineux Trial

New York. Jan. 17.-Joseph Koch. owner of letter boxes at 1920 Broadway. identified Molineux yesterday as the man who had talked with him in December, 1898. about hiring n pigeonhole. Koch did not make a complete identification of Molineux. He did say that some time between Dec. 12 and IT. 1S9S. Molineux came to him and asked him about let ter box. That this man was Molineux he had absolutely no doubt. But it was a heavy man, he said. with a curly mus tache, and not Molineux. who on Dec. 21 of the same year actually rented the let ter box under the name of III. Cornish" The prosecution, therefore, proves Moli- neux's connection with the letter box by proving that answers to letters signed HI. Cornish" and written by Molineux were sent to Koch's place. Koch will undergo cross examination today. Mir. Weeks will doubtless go at him hard, because Koch is a serious menace to his cluse

The MurieIs Stormy Voyage

Port Townshend, Wash, Jan. IT, The schooner Muriel. after being buffet ed about on tempestuous seas for 10 days in trying to reach Hakodate from Kobe, has arrived here almost stripped of sails and some of her spars gone. The Muriel sailed from Kobe for Hakodate with a cargo of sulphur. After leaving Kobe the Muriel encountered severe gales for II days, at the expiration of which she found herself some hundreds of miles farther away from her destina- ton than on the day she sailed. with sails tattered and torn and some of her spars carried away. In this condition Captain Carleson deemed is impossible to reach Hakodate with his ship in that condition and, sailing before gales. with what reef ing sails he had, he headed for Puget sound.

sShaeNeo h5 he Uti rank steamer
 HetColnn4.
 St. Johns, N. r.. Jan. 1.-The name of the steamer which was wrecked in St. Mary's bay a week ago has been learned She was the property of the Deutsche- American Petroleum company. The tug Ingraham picked up a boat near the scene of the wreck which bore the name 'Hel- goland."
 Among number of flags picked up last evening near Holyrood was one with the colors blue. white and red, with the letter "R in the center. This is the house flag of that company. Taken with the finding of the boat off Cape Pine. it seems to leave no doubt as to the identity of the vessel. A life buoy also was picked up with the name of the steamer painted on it, but the lettering was partly illegible from fire and water
 The Helgoland sailed from Philadel- phia on Jan. , bound for Bergen, Nor way, with cargo of 32.00O tons of re fined petroleum. She was in command of Captain Son Rittern, carried crew of 30 men and did not carry any women, either as stewardess or passenger, de- spite the fact that women's apparel was said to have been washed ashore in a trunk. The cargo of the vessel was val ued at SS0,000 and the steamer at S150,- OOO

AguinaIdo's True Position.

In advance of the reply the president will make to the senate resolution calling for information concerning the part Agui- naldo played in prolonging the war in the Philippines it is rumored, evidently upon a knowledge of the facts, that the corre- spondence to be produced will disclose the fact that Againaldo. instead of being in- clined to a friendly cooperation with the United States from the first, was really disloyal to the United States as far back as the time Admiral Dewey was trying to keep the Spanish within Manila and was depending to some extent upon the assistance of the Filipinos to accomplish that object.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The senate is still in the throes of discussion of the Philippine question, and apparently there is no near approach to a deliyerance upon the subject. Mir. Vest of Missouri yester- day voiced the opinion of many senators when he said that such discussion as was now in progress was of no consequence, as the country was confronted by state of facts that could not be changed by talk. Mir. Pettigrew's resolution of inquiry and Mir. Lodges substitute for it were laid on the table. and MT. Hoar's general resolution of inquiry as to the facts of the Philippine war was taken up. An eff fort of Mir. Pettigrew to amend 1t so as to call for the presidents instructions to the Paris peace commissioners led to pro forged debate. After the senate had con- sidered the matter behind closed doors the amendment was rejected by vote of II to 20.
