VOL. 3. The Way of the World. KY I). M. JOKDON. TUoro aro beautiful songs that wo never sing, \ n d names that are never spoken, There are treasures guarded with jealous care And kept as a sacred token. There are faded flowers and letters dim, With tears that have rained above them, Per fickle words and tho fatherless hearts That taught us how to love them. There are sighs that come in our joyous hours To chasten our dreams of gladness, And tears that spring to our aoliiug eyes In hours of thoughtless sadneßS, For the b ithest bird that sings in spring Will flit the waning summer, And lips that wo kissed in fondest love Will Sind® on tile first new comel ’’ Over the breast where lilies rest In white hands stilled forever, The rose of June will nod and blow, Unheeding the hearts that sever, And lips that quiver in silent grief, All words of hope refusing, Will lights turn to the fleeting joys That perish with the using. Summer blossoms and winter snows, Love and its sweetest elysian ; Hope, like a sirene dim and fail-,! Quickening our fainting vision: Droping spirit and fainting puse, Where untold memories hovel', Eyelids touched with the seal of death, And the fitful dream is over. So Gi.es the World. BY E.

Fir little dreams come to naught, Orr lives may fall, our darling plan lay crumble into nothingn -ss, Our firmest castles fall to sand; lad yet the children sing and dance, The merry-makers laugh and shout, Hie stars unmindful still shine bright, Unconscious that our light is out— And so the world goes on. ’he house grows sad that once was gay, The dear ones seek their blessed home, in i we nmywntch and wait in vain To hoar their "’ell-known footsteps come mil y -t tho sunlight cheeks the floor And makes the summer shadows long, die rosebuds at the easement bloom, The bird pours forth his cheerful song — And so the world goes on. bid God goes oil, and with our woe Weaves golden threads of joy and peace : iuarding vith Ins heart of hearts Our days of pain, our days of ease, ie makes them all, the seed, the sheaves, Ihe dancer’s smile, the mourner’s tears, bid keeps them safe, His children all. i lirongh all the great, eternal years— Aud so, thank God, the world goes on.

No Pains or Expense to be Spared to Prenent Florida’s Vote from Being Announced for Tilden— A Plan to Capture North Car olina. Washington, Jan. 16.—Gov. McCor mick, Secretary of the National Republi can Committee,- again appeared before the Select Committee on Powers, Privi leges, and Duties of the House in count ing the electoral vote. The Governor wished to contradict the truth ot a tele gram to a New York paper. It was therein alleged that the question was yesterday put to him whether the Na tional Republican Committee raised money for the purpose ot purchasing votes, to which lie replied that he would ltave first to consult with members of that committee before answetiug the question. The Governor said no such question was put, and it it had been it would have Letn promptly answered in the negative. By the Chairman—Do you know of any money used oil behalf of the Na tional Republican Committee in influen cing votes ? A.—l have some knowledge of money having been raised for the legitimate purposes of the campaign. Q. —h as any assessment made on of ficeholders to obtain money for the pur pose of being in the elec ion ? A.—There was an assessment on a certain class of officeholders, I cannot name them, but can show the committee the law which 1 have been told was strictly complied with. This law provi ded that all officers appointed by the Piesident, by and with the advice and ennsent or the Senate, were exempt from the operation of the prohibition against assessments on officeholders lOr political pm puses. A joint circular was sent forth by ihe officers of both the National Republican and the Congressional Re publican committees, but the details o: assessment were manage 1 by the latter committee. Ido not. know whether tho money was raised by a percentage on salaries or not, nor I do not know how much money was raised. Not a dollar came into the hands of the National lies publican Commute 1 . Ido not know of any' circular having been issued requiring officeholders to contribute money. M. A Clancey, late stenographer of the National Republican Committee, was recalled, he having test'fieu on Saturday, lie, in reply to questions, tefened to short-hand notes, ami read Irom them the original drafts of telegrams sent to Florida, as follows: Ntw Yokk, Nov. 8,187 G. God. Stearns, and alla/uissee, Florida : Grave importance attaches to the elec toral vote of your State, and we invite your most cartful supervision of all thb official receiving, counting, returning, and canvassing of every locality'. This despatch was s gned by either Z. Chandler or W. E. Chandler. New York, Nov. 8, 1877. do Gen* Martin, dalla/uissee: We are now absolutely certain of 180 votes for Ilayes if your State is safe— and Tildeu is sure of the rest. Can you certainly defeat all Democratic attempts by fraud, false counting, or bribery to canture it. Answer when sure. Z. Chandler. A copy of the above dispatch w as .sent to S. I' 1 . Packard ; Gov. D. H. Chamber lain, Columbia, S. C.; Senator John il. Mitchell, Portland, Oregon ; and George C. Gorham, San Francisco New Yokk, Nov. 8, 1876. To Gen. Martin : If your State has gone for Ilayes the Democrats will leave nothing undone to take it from us ; all may depend on your vigilance. He on your guard every where. You must watch, aud get in and announce the t r ue returns from every lo cality without delay. Spare no pains or proper expense to carry these points Keep advised and telegraph me your ex act majority as soon as possible. This was signed either by Z. Chandler or W. E. Chandler, having been dictate-) by the latter. On the Bth cf November the following despatch was addressed to both Senator .Conover and Representative Furman : See my despatch to Martin ; use the utmost diligence and vigilance. The following despatch was sent to Thomas 13. Keogh, Chairman the Republican State Committee of North Carolina, signed ‘C,’ and dictated by Who holds all the snufl in the world? No one nose. CONY lilts, <; v„ THURSDAY, JANUARY , 1877. Win. E. Chandler : New Youk, Nov. 8. Two friends of yours leave here at three o’clock this afternoon ; meet them at the depot at Raleigh. Another telegram was sent to the same party, as follows: Don’t give up your State until the re mutest-ret urns coma ill. Ilayes elected by one majority it we have carried Flor ida, Oregon and Louisiana. Meet your friends at depit. C. On the same day, the Blli of Novem ber, a letter was written by Wi liam E. Chandler to Thomas 18. Keogh, Raleigh, North Caroline, ns follows: At this hour of writing it looks as if 185 voles have been given to Hayes, counting Louisiana, Florida and Oregon, but not North Carolina, and wc trust that the latter will turn out, when the returns are all in, io have gone for Hayes. If, however, it has not, and the Slate is close, and there has been intinm dation or fraud oil the part of the Dem ocrats, we trust that your Republican Governor will not give any certificate to the electors. The Governor of Oregon is a Demc rat, while North Carolina is the only close State necessary to the Democrats where we have a Republican Governor. They must not be allowed fairer play in North Carolina than we get in Oregon. This is important and coil* fidential. W. E. CIIANIU.KIi. The following telegram was addressed to George C. Gorham, San Frauciseo Nov. 8. If Oregon Republican, use utmost diligence to watch, and get in and have announced the vote from every locality. Democrats will press Grover, hence iiu portance of no delay in establishing the result. You better go to Oregon. The above dispatch was dictated by W. E Chandler, and probably signed by him. though it may have been signed by Z. Chandler. The following telegram was sent to Gorham on the same day: Democrats getting desperate. They will stop at, midi ng to wrest victory' from us Important that you go at onee to Or "goo. 'file following telegram was addressed to ex-At oniey General \\ illiams, at Washington, D- C., Nov. 8. Oregon reported 1 hepublican, and win elect I fares. Telegraph several citizens of integrity in Oregon to watch and get in and have announced the vote from ev ery locality. We, have telegraphed .Mitchell, Democrats w ill press Grover : hence importance of no delay in estab lishing the result. The witness could not say whether this telegram was signed by M m. E. or Z. Chandler. The witness was at Tallahas see on the 12th of November, and ad dressed to Z. Chandler the following tel egram : Gov. Stearns and Congressman Tur man telegraph front a point in Georgia that the operator at Tallahassee, Florida, maliciously wi‘hliolds and discloses all despatches from them, and a k his re moval. Sent special message to Orton, who acted promptly. Will you advise Stearns ? M. A. Clancey. From an inspection of copies of all the telegrams, it appears that the only one signed by Z. Clrindlei was that to Gen. Martin, given together with dupli cates of the same to Packard, Chamber lain, Gorham, and Mitchell. All the others were signed by W. K. Chandler. Mr. Claneey stated that the telegrams and the letter which he read front his stenographic notes were the only ones in his book sent by the committee to any person alter the election. The committee then adjourned till tc incirow morning.—[New York Sun. ‘Sir,’ said a fierce lawyer, ‘do yon, on your solemn oath, swear that this is not your hand.writing!’ ‘I reckon not,’ was the calm reply. ‘Does it resemble your writing!’ ‘Yes, I think it don’t.’ ‘Do you swear that it don’t resemble your writing!’ ‘Well, I do, old boss.’ ‘You take your solemn oath that this writing does not favor yours in a single letter ?’ ‘Y-c s, sir.’ ‘Now how do you know ?’ ‘ Cause I can’t write.’ ‘That's where the boys fit for college,’ said the professor to Mrs. Partington, pointing to a school-house. ‘Did they ?’ said the old lady with ani mation. ‘Then, it they fit for College before they went, they didn’t fight after ward V ‘YeS !’ said he, smiling and favoring the deceit; ‘but the fight was with the head, not with the bauds.’ ‘Butted—did they V said the old lady. I ROMANCE OF THE AVENUE. He Wan’t Drunk, It wai Cnly His Boots. One night last week a member of Con. gress, quite an exceptional one, m respect of the proprieties of his station and from a social point ot view, called on a young lady ot this city. The pavements were sloppory and his feet were wet. While waiting in the parlor and vainly essaying to imbibe warmth at the register, a lucky thought struck him and as there was no one in the room and no prospect of his lady acquaintanoe -‘or twenty minutes, lie removed his boots and stretched his brown-sock encased feet in front of the register. The effect was soothing and comfortable, and when Congressional rooster started to pull on his damn boots. The movement progress ed finely as far the legs were concerned, but the rapid transit was wholly stop ped when lie struck the instep and there stuck. Stamps, oaths, jerks and wrest ling with the leg-straps were of no ava I lie heard the rustle of the lady’s dress, and crowding his off-foot into the remain ing boot stood, with perspiration on his brow and cold chills down his ba.-k, to receive her. When she enterted lie sank into a chair with relief, and, with the ex ception of some.agitated absent minded ness, all progressed well until her father dropped in, when, rising to greet t’e paternal bird, our M. C. lurched dread fully, so markedly t hat lie was keenly watched in his conversation, and his em barrassed language resulting from the situation subjected to scrutinous suspic ion. The gneral idea prevalent was not fa vorable to the Congressional servant ol the people, and worse still ho forgot him self, and asking tha young lady to sing, offered to escort her to the piano, which, under the circumstances, he could not very actively accomplish. As it was lie lurched to leeward and starboard, ro ling on the uppers of his treacherous boots, while the lady recoiled from an abrupt fall on his part, and the old man seized him violently by the should ;r. ‘Y u are a little off’,’ he sa ; d as politely as possible with the occasion. ‘I will call my man; he vtill see you home.’ ‘I ain’t drunk,’ expostulated the membor, ‘ it’s my boots only ; my boots, ‘Why you must be in a bad way ! Snakes 4 in your bools? No, no, my good fellow, don’t be alarmed, a good night’s rest and all will bo well l homas’— Y r ou internal old fool,’ howled the booted man; exasperate 1 b yond the limit of decency by his wrethed cond : - tion and the placid misunderstanding of the old gentleman; ‘you infernal old fool, I ain’t drunk! I can lick the head off’n you in two minutes—l ain’t drunk. ‘I never saw a man in a more ram pant and beastly state of intoticalion in my life.’ (This in an undertone.) If it were not that I am restrained, by the presence of my servants I would put you out myself. Thomas, show this gentleman into the nearest stre.et car. Overcome by the coolness of the old man and the muscular deve’opement of the darkey boy, the unhappy member was led out jogging and jerking on his rickerty hoots and spraining an ankle at every lurch: The darkey boy returned in a few minutes, saying: ‘Goddleinity ! I never see such a drun ken nnn in my life. He wanted to fight me fust and then gimme ten doll.ih bill fo’aty shoos, and sot down on de cu’bs ton? and put ’em on. Dcy waz too tight, fo’ aim though, to’ he was a Republican get'lemau! (Ashe was a Republican member, we deem it nccesssary to state that the ten dolhr bill in this instance was not counter teit.) From the same paper we clip the fol lowing: A supple from, a pretty face, With a stylish outfit blended : A pull back of infinite grace, A seal-skin sacque most splendid, Sle tripped along the Avenue The men stare as she skims on, And envious woman tui n to view', Her skirts ot cardinal crimson. Sle glides with pride along the street, Her mien replete with hauteur, Hir head so high, uneen, her feet Strike a patch of congealed water. A vivid flash ot gartered horse, (n can-can style extended, SlfH-k, a fall, and that is all. Cnd here the romance ended. It s strange that a girl who occupies! three feet in a street car, can easily crowd herse.f and her lover into a rocking 1 hair; but it is so. G impscs of Texas Life. I have been 'up Trinity river on a steamboat. The stream is remarkably serpentine and difficult of navigation Its muddy bottom is strewn with wrecks It passes through a rich but uncultivated region, so sickly ns to bo uninbabitjbie to any other but negroes and a few miserable snoeimens cf native Texan’, who live a wild, nomadic lile, and subsist eliiffy by killing game and raising stick These people" and their habits of lile are less known to the general newspaper rea der than are tho natives of Timbuetoo. They have no ,‘idea of n hat legal farms mean, and rcognize no other law than that dispensed from tho muzzle of a shotgun or a revolver. They are as a rule uneducated, and consequently less open to moral iulluencoti than imigranbs, who are now rapidly settling in various parts of the Stale. As we penetrated between the heavily wooded bottom lands through which the river, winds, we saw the natives. Mottn ted on shaggy ponies, they can make their way through the forest with as unerring certainty as though they were guided by compass and chart, and after they kill a sufficitfut quantify of game they r< th e to their ranches and enjoy in glorious ease until their stock is exhaus ted. The negroes, who comprise about ote half of the population cf the river bottoms, live by supplying wood to the steamboats that go'up and down idle river during the cotton seas >i; Steal ing cattle is a cun mow practice with both me ’s, and the ‘Cow Hoys,’ as a class of mounted thieves are. called, scour the country, and drive all tho young unbran ded stock they can find into their own enclosures and brand them. The authorities arc powerless to enforce the w. Sit years ago a court house was built in Liberty, a county seat was made to bring the lawless hands to jn (ice Some of the leaders were indicted, and the peaceably disposed citizens felt that au e not law and order was about to be in augurated. All the judicial machinery ot the country was set in motion, and a day was fixed for the trials Early on that morning the town filled with peop e from a all directions, and just as the court house W'as abou 1 to be opened an armed band rode into the village, captur ed the records, and set fire to the build ing. The prisoners rode out of town with their coinpau ons. This court house has been built three times, ami as often destroyed. Naught remains but black ened W'alls. Nothing else so much re tards the progress of Texas as this law lessness. The soil is fertile, and the cli mate, away from the river bottoms healthy and genet al. There is a crime that no Texan for gives and woe to the in in who covets Itis neighbor’s Boise. Yon may commit murder with impunity, but steal a horse and get caught, and your body will soon be suspended from a tree. This is the Texan’s idea of justice. The slow pro cess of corns disgusts him. It must not be inferred, however, that the whole State is given over to lawlessne>s. There are many potions as tranquil and lavvhid ng as New York.-—[N. Y Sun.
