Fl. the Arst Aufnhef OF the Atlantic
Monthly Ralph waldo Ernerson had q
poem called 'BrahmaS" which puzzled
both critics and e6nirhcn readers.
Some said 1t was the greatest poem Of
che century. some said it was non
sense. The first verse ran an follows:
II the r9d slayer think he slays,
Or X the slain think he ~ slain,
They know no&~weil the subtle ways

That wt6ter 1t happened that a rela-

airy thaw which had followed the pur-

the gay cutter that season. When the
letter wa4 answered, Longfellow con-
tributed this verse, which, II Ia said,
has never been printed before:

 meut For S1.000 By Default.

The case of Thomas Burns against S. z. Poli for damages of $1,000 for injuries sustained by falling down the stairway leading to "nigger heaven' in Polls was finished yes- terday afternoon. Decision was re- served.
 Court opened to-day with the wit nesses for the defense in the case of Christina Faber ct al against Edward Faber, on hand. Attorney Devine counsel for the plaintiff found his principal witness was beyond his reach this morning and he sent word asking Attorney Russell counsel for the defense to allow the case to go over. Here was MT Russells chance to get judgment by default and he said that while he would gladly oblige brother lawyer, still first Of all considerations were the interests of his client. Furthermore, Judge Curtis was not willing that the case should go over and at the request of MT Russell he granted judgment for the defendant.

BURCLARIZED AGAIN
S4 Shoes Were the Kind Selected
 From Adams Stock.

Burglars seem to have liking for the store of Charles H. Adams at 31o Bank street for they paid him another visit last evening although it is only about a month ago when they made their last call. Last evening they helped themselves to about dozen pair of the best shoes in the place. They made an entrance through the cellar door after they had scaled the high board fence in the rear of the store. Once in the cellar it was an easy matter to raise the trap door and get into the store. It is the opinion of the police that the light fingered fellows were in the store two or three hours for the place this morning showed that they took plenty of time. The stock was thrown around the store because of the burglars being particular of what kind of shoes they would take. When they came across a $4 line they emptied dozen boxes, they left the boxes for the proprietor. They also made an attempt to open the safe which is in the rear of the store, but it is evident they did not try hard. If they had opened the safe they would have struck money.
 . This makes the third time that MT Adams store has been robbed since he has been in business on Bank street. The last time they got inside by breaking the paddock on the front door and then using skeleton key. The burglars seem to be paying much attention to Bank street, and they are getting away apparently with out much trouble.
