LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY' FEBRUARY 28 1882. M Lancaster utelliflencer. TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 28, 1882. Probably Premature. A committee of the Pittsburgh bar, in presenting te the Republicans of the state A. M. Brown, esq., as a candidate for the supreme judge nomination of the Republican party, call attention te the fact that " with the retirement of the present chief justice, there is lest te the citizens of the commonwealth the ser vices of a judge of long experience upon the common pleas bench and the supreme bench, of extensive and varied attain ments, of liberal culture, and sound rep utation as a jurist. Distinguished equally as an author and in the practical administration of justice, his place will be difficult te fill." The bar of Pitts burgh is already represented by Judtre Sterrett en the supreme bench of the state, while the much larger bar and legal interests of Philadelphia would have only one representative left in the event of Judge Sharswood's retirement, and the failure te succeed him with a Philadelphian. The tribute which this circular pays te Chief Justice Sharewoed's eminent judi cial qualities is only what they deserve, but it comes gracefully from his politi cal opponents. It is te be observed, how ever, that the assumption of Justice Sharswood's retirement in this and ether demonstrations of the pending political campaign, are made without any warrant of an avowed intention en his part ti retire. It has somehow been taken for granted by both parties by their politicians at least that Judge Sharswood will retire. He has made no sign te this effect, and as he is under stood te be in better health new than for some time past, it may be that he has no such intention. True, he could net reasonably expect te outlive another term of twenty-one years, but lie might consider that likelihood no bar te his entering upon ten or fifteen years of ser vice. Judge Agnew, it will be remem bered, was quite willing te take another term and felt badly treated that it was net conceded te him. While the Demo cratic parly .seems, tee, te have assumed that J usticc Sharswood is anxious te re tire, an intimation from him that he is desirous or willing te take another nomi nation would clear the field of all as pirants for the place. It ma net be tee early te have an understanding en this subject. Probably even Mr. Brown's friends would feel like withholding his candidacy in the event that they find themselves mistaken as te Chief Justice Sharswood's impending retirement ' Is It a Calspaw ' It was very touching that squabble in the Republican county committee yes terday ever Judge Livingston and his candidacy for the supreme bench. It would be much mere giatifying,nodeubt, te Judge Livingston te think that the inee te secure his nomination is due te an appreciation of his eminent fitness for the supreme bench, and net te a desire of the factions te trade upon his supposed local popularity and te serve some selfish end thereby. They have shown this dis position in the past se strongly as te naturally excite such a suspicion of their present movements. He himself lias felt called upon te condemn and snub the pretensions of one of the factions te the ' stronger claim upon him, ami since then the ether has shown a fervent desire te sun itself in the beams of his favor. The Xev Kra faction quite naturally looked upon the performance in the ceuiitj committee esterday as a bold but shrewd flank movement, under cover of Judge Livingston 'n name, te prevent the defeat of Beaver by Butler in a vote en popular gubernatorial in structions in this county. 1 1 has served that purpose and no doubt had that purpose in view. J. W. Jehnsen, of course, told the truth for once when he said he was for Butler tirsL and alter that for Livingston ; lie might have added that he was for himself ewsi be fore Butler. Tlie claim of the pretended extra-serviceable friends of Livingston that they can serve him best by taking up a dele gation in his interest exclusively and trading it off with candidates for ether offices, is the trick of the politician. It would be mere seeming if invoked in behalf of some ether than a judicial nomination. The example of the way in which Chris Magee euchred Judge Agn.ew out of his merited renominatien is net the worthiest te set before dele gales who are " instructed te use all honorable means " te si-cure a nomina tion that is asked for en the grounds of " spotless integrity," " judicial attain ments " and eminent fitness, rather than en the trading capital of eight delegates. Jcdgi-: Trcxkey is one of the judges et the state supreme court who weighs mere than some of his associates. He and Judge Sharswood, when they stand together, are a minority only in num bers, lie files a dissenting opinion in the legislative salary case which will command general respect. Although his learned brethren differ widely from him, the popular approval is with his judgment : but he is high removed above the suspicion of being in lluenced by any unworthy desire te secure popular approval of his judicial acts. This last remarkable illustration of hew judges disagree will have a tendency te further shake the con fidence of lawj'ers in the judgment of their court of last resort. There is no longer any security that the determina tien of what is the law will remain fixed longer than the next election. After awhile the state reports will be valuable chiefly te show hew little the court knows itself. It is te be hoped the unusually large number of Democrats elected te councils m Philadelphia, mostly by the aid of the Relerm element, will held no party caucus nor assume any partisan attitude upon municipal questions. They ewe a single duty te their constituents and te all the people of the city, te secure for it economical, honest and efficient city gov ernment. They can only de themselves, their party and the city harm by acting en partv lines. In their election these were effaced :ii.l in their milch I action they should net ue recognized. Mr. Blaine is promptly taken te task by Gen. Rosecrans for his misapprehen sion of the condition of the Army of Cumberland when Gen. Garfield became chief of Rosecrans's staff. The general is, of course, better qualified te knew the facts than the politician, and the public will se assume. Seme captious critics of Mr. Blaine's address find fault with it as being tee much of a common place biography, with net enough dis play of original genius for eulogy. Mr. Blaine's deliverance, we judge, is te be measured by what has been heretofore known of his ability and fitness for such a task as was committed te him. The Sua is disposed te find fault with him for net having departed from the conven tional proprieties. While this is sur prising in Mr. Blaine, it is none the less creditable te him. He deserves praise mere for what he did net say than for what he did ; and altogether he is re ceiving the praise he deserves. And new they are talking of Cavcu, of Philadelphia, for governor. If Cavcn and Pattison arc taken it will be a cold day for Reform in Philadelphia. It will be badly left. An esteemed contemperaiy has discover ed the champion cheerful girl in the ene who amused herself flirting with the mourners in a funernal precession in a Western city the ether day. Tjir.nu ought te be no place en :i Dem ocratic city committee of Philadelphia for Geerge McGowan. He has tee much ca pacity and tee much disposition for evil te be trusted in any representative position by the Democratic party. He is a per verse fellow, without principle, and will be ceitain te abuse any opportunity given him, by which he can work ruin te the or ganization and confusion in its e.nmcils. Let him be retired with McMulIiu. Tin: next election in Maine is te be ene of extraordinary importance. A. governor is te be elected who will have the appoint ing of four justices of the .supreme judicial court. A Legislature is te be selected which will serve for two years, and have a United States senator for the long term te elect. Four congressmen are te be chosen, probably en a genera! ticket. Resides this about double the usual number of county officers arc te be elected. Ne such importance has attached te any Maine election that has been held within the past ten years. Tiil Reading daily Herald is the only paper within the range of our observation that had the cnterprise te publish Blaine's eulogy en Garfield before it wasdcliveied. Although a morning paper the Herald printed a large portion of the addicss in advance of its delivery, saying, " Mr. Blaine will speak as fellows," &c. The copies of the speech which were .sent te the Lancaster dailies had with them an injunction " en honor " that they should net be used before 12 o'clock. It would be interesting te knew hew the Reading paper get its copy without a similar in junction. Fer, of course, it would net have committed a breach of confidence ! Tiieih: is a fair prospect that the Garrett-Gewcn-Vauderbilt combination will be come a very potential factor in railroad affairs. It lias just received important aid in the veto by New Jersey's governor of Jay Gould's bill authorizing the Ncy Jer sey Central railroad company te issue new stock. He thinks "the whela gist of the bill vitiale.s the obligation of ceutracts, and hence is net only retroactive in se far as it affects existing obligations, but otherwise plainly unconstitutional." There is also a well founded rumor that the Lnglhh interests in the Atlantic & Great Western railroad had made Messrs. Gewcn and Vauderbilt their voting trustees . The control of the Atlantic & Great Western railroad bj Mr. Vanderbilt will cut the Erie out of a connection with the Pitts burgh, Fert Wayne & Chicago read. Ex-Skxateu Wiitth, of Maiy land, saja he has been utterly misrepresented m the interview ascribing te him hostility te a suspected Gerinau-Ilayard combination te run Maryland politics te the exclusion of Whyte. lie says that no man in the country has a higher respect for the dis tinguished senator from Delaware thau he. He considered his chances for the Demo cratic nomination in 18S4 as bri -lit and hopeful, and there was no fear of his friends deseitiug him. lie said, further, he was a great admirer of 3Ir. Bayard, and both personally and politically was his friend. All the same, Whyte admits that he had a conversation about the Gazette, and Bayard's relations with it, en the street with a young man. These la miliar conversations with young news paper men are the ruin of sonic of ear statesmen. The Commonwealth club, a Democratic organization of Philadelphia, which will formally open its doers en uext Saturday evening, is composed of gentlemen who have the ability and the disposition te de well for the party in Philadelphia and in the state. Their conference, through such a medium as this club will furnish .ami as- sociatien, by means of it, with the better element of the party throughout the state ought te work great geed for the Pennsyl vania Democracy. An organization which has held tegethcr.as it has, through twenty years of defeat, has plenty of stuff in it for success with honor. Its support of the Reform movement in Philadelphia has saved the city from spoliation and the party there from disruption. There is a work before it in the state, and the Cem menwealth club may help the organiza tion te find that work and buckle te it. Tin: members of the Legislature who are after their extra 300 pay get a Valen Valen tieo te-day from Judge Trunkey in the shape of a dissenting opinion and another from Jehn Stewart, chairman of the com mittee te test their rights te this money, who asks them each for $20 mere te pay the expenses of the litigation. A dispatch from Pittsburgh says : "The sum first as sessed upon each member was $3. The $20 additional will make the cntite assess ment aggregate $0,250 for the pay of two lawyers. Messrs. Wolfe and Stewart said at the close of the last session, when the meeting of members was called in the Heuse te consider carrying of this matter into tue courts, mat the expense j i involved could net be ever $100 ei 6150, and this, would be te pay the expense of taking the case te the supreme court. The state has the costs te pay, as it lest the case. A conference of the Allegheny delegation will bj held ea Thursday for the purpoie of deciding whether te pay the whole or only part of the assessment. They leek upon $0,230 as a pretty big fee." It strikes us as a picayune pro ceeding for the membsrs te giggle about this $20 assessment. Tiiey are getting $500 that the better judgment of the pub lic thiuks they de net deserve ; their dis tinguished counsel, J. McDowell Sharpe, esq., wen a brilliant legal victory after his case had been decided adversely by one of the best judges in the state. He fully earned 3 pei cent, of the amount received and the members will treat him shabbily if they de net cheerfully pay him a fee of at least $3,000. PERSONAL. Rev. II. M. Kiefeer, of Nonistewn has been lecturing en " Pleasantries of Par- Bens." - Benjamin White, ene of the directors of the First national bank of Red Bank, New Jersey, died suddenly in that place yesterday morning. Catharine LeRev Weiiteis, widow of Daniel Webster, the Americau states man, died at the Le Rey Heuse, New Rechellc, en Sunday night. She was Mr. Webster's second wife. Aoei.ru CPeitexul'skn, a well-known citizen of College Point, Leng Island, died yesterday, in the 40th year of his age. He was engaged in the rubber business and connected with various ether business en terprises. New that the event is ever, it may be as well te say that for his opportunity se brilliantly improved Mr. Blaine is in debted te a Democrat, Mr. McLean, of Marylaud, te whom his colleagues of the committee left the decisive vote in choos chees ing the orator. Search is being made in andateund Mil waukee for the missing brother of the Duke of Newcastle, it being supposed that Lord Airmen Clinten, instead of committing suicide, found refuge in that locality, and had been employed as a workman in the Bay View rolling mills. In additieu te the Republican candi dates for city offices published the ether day, W. T. Brown, esq., is out for city solicitor, Wm. Hensei. for sticec commis sioner, Frederick Bletcher for clerk of common council, and County Surveyor Wm. Gerhart is net a candidate for city regulator. The beautiful and accomplished .Miss Yenie Clancey, formerly a member of Rice's "Evaugoline" combination, and a favorite with Lancaster play goers is uew in southern California dying of consump tion. She is a sister of Miss Laura Clancy, the young lady who appeared at Fulton opera house with Frank Maye last Satur day evcuing. Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Henry Bavmoarener, will again publicly rclate his experience and observations en a trans continental tour, in the court house, next Tuesday evening, f le is an observant and highly intelligent gentleman, whose story will be well worth the hearing, and with characteristic bonevelenco he consents te tell it for the benefit of a weithy local charity. "Mr. JesEi'ii Cook, the well-known American lecturer, has left Bombay," says the Indian Spectator, " without having brought about anything like a leligieus revolution. This may be a matter for re gret, but net for surprise. Mr. Cook at tempted the impossible, and, of course, failed. Though allowing him te be a very geed speaker, Bombay is far from satisfied with his oratory." THE LEGISLATIVE SAI.A11Y. Judge Truukey Files a Notable Ulssenf. When Judge Trunkey took his seat yes terday iu the supreme court he said : " I was net present when the opinion of the ceuit was delivered in the case of the commonwealth ex ttl. Charles S. Wolfe vs. Samuel Butler, or I would have filed a dissenting opinion ; but I file it new." The opinion urges very strongly that the act of May 11, 187-1, violates the constitu tion. The opinion iu full is as fellows : "Having the conviction that the fiist sectieu of the act of May 11, 1874, clearly and palpably violates Section 8 of Article XL of the constitution, I would affum the judgment of the court below. That act, new sanctioned by the decision of this court, will likely be deemed m harmony with the constitution during its life. I shall net undertake the bootless ta3k of giviug reasons at length for the belief that it is repugnant in letter ami spirit. At best a dissenting opinion could be little mere than an elaboration of the opinion of the learned judges of the common pleas, which se well sustains their judgment. Te their leasens a few peint3 might be added which, among many, were fully discussed by the counsel of the respective parties. I shall remark but one, namely : The consti tution declares that two specific forms of compensation for legislative shall be al lowed for entire regular anil special sessions, and forbids all ethers. lhe members ei the General As sembly shall receive such salary ami mileage for regular and special sessions as shall be fixed by law, and no ether com pensation whatever, either for service upon committee or otherwise They shall have salary aud mileage for each session. This excludes salary ibr any ether period. Sal ary for the session is directed, and all ether divisions of time are excluded ; but salary by the session is for a session is salary for the whole session and net a part ; it is for the ontire service of a member at any session paid for, and as plainly means ene sum as does salary for a year or annual salary. The pro hibitory words aimed at committee service by no unreasonable interpretation can limit or modify the declaration that the members shall receive no ether cempens i i tien than the salary and mileage fixed by law for the session. The intention is te prevent any increase of the member's sala ry aud raileage after his election, as effec tually as section 13 of article III prohibits the increase of the salary or emoluments of any public officer after his election. Au uncertain sum does net meet the rcnuire. ment. Te fix a salary and allow daily pay te be added leaves it te the members te increase their compensation whila in office very much at their pleasure. The word salary as applied te session means a stipulated recompense for service at the session, and was used with the context te prevent compensation by daily pay, te limit the pay of members te a certain sum, and is net synonymous with wages as used in the constitution of 1776, or with com pensation as used in the constitutions of 17UU aud 183S. I think the words 'such salary and mileage for regular and special sessions as shall be fixed by law,' should be taken in their ordinary sense, as the people who adopted the constitution com monly understood them. I believe thev mean a stipulated sum for each session and net daily wages or daily hire or salt money BLAINE'S EULOGY. RECEIVED WITH GENERAL FAVORi A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE HE HAD General IJesecrans Slightly Corrects the Orator. The public journals almost universally commend the tone and matter of Mr. Blaine's oration ; and all reports of the occasion speak of it as having been in the highest degree impressive, and the audience which assembled te hear it ene of the most distinguished ever seen in Washington. Beside the president, cabi net, supreme court, Congress and foreign ministers, Generals, Sherman. Sheridan, Hancock, Heward and ether leading mili tary men were there ; General R. C. Schenck, ex-minister te England ; Gover nors Heyt, of Pennsylvania ; Fester, of Ohie ; Hamilton, of Maryland : Bigelow, of Connecticut ; Perter of Indiana, and Adjutant General Harmine,of Connecticut ; Henry James jr. and Mrs. Frances Hodg Hodg eon Burnett, the novelists. Thies figures occupied conspicuous places en the Irent seats and these were the venerable ngurc of Washington's great man, W. W. Cor ceran, the leau figure of Cyrus W. Field and the shrivled-up figure of the historian, Geerge Bancroft. The foreign gentlemen always form a pioturesqne irreup, but never se much as when clustered together among thousands of people in solemn con ventional black. The red fez and geld embroidery of the Turks were in curious contrast with the loose, plain purple robe3 of the Chinese. The representatives of the Japanese government appeared iu Ameri can full dre3s, swallow-tails, white ties and gloves, like the ordinary American gentleman aud ordinary American waiter. In the president's gallery sat Mrs. Blaine, the wife of the distinguished ora tor of the day and the cynosure of all eyes. She had scarcely get seated when a page entered an presented her with a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Mrs. Blaine was attired in rich black velvet aud circular lined with leopard skin, which was allowed te fall ever the gallery rail. She was accompanied by Mrs. Matthews and Miss Dedge and Mrs. Justice Field. Mrs. David Dudley Field, Mrs. Bradley, Sirs. Brewster, 5lrs Frelinghuyscn and Mrs. G. W. Curtis were near her. Criticising the Eulogy. General Ro3ecrans furnishes for publi eating the following card : MrT Blaine, iu his funeral oration be be be fere the two houses te-day, said: "When General Garfield assumed his new duties he found various troubles aheady well de veloped aud seriously affecting the value and efficiency of the Array of the Cumber land." I was commanding general of that army. General Garfield was my chief of staff. Had this been the fact I certainly should have known it ; General Garfield was bound te tell ma of it . Justice te the truth of history and te the Army el the Cumberland lcquires that I should declare that I never heard of such a state of things until the statement came from lips of the orator to day. The distinguished gentleman has been wholly misinformed, aud the statements above quoted have no founda tion in fact. On the contrary, it was the general sentiment aud constant beast of the efficei'3 and men el that army that the Army of the Cumberland was singularly united and frce from dissensions, and, therefore, no one's genius was required te heal these dissension?. I appeal te them te bear witness te this fact. A few sentences further ea Mr. Blaine says : " His military duties closed ou the memorable field of Chickamauga, a field which, however disastrous te the Union arms, gave te him the occasion of winning imporishable laurels." He might with justice have added, as Garfield would have added, " and te us the key of the Seuth, the objective point of tiie campaign of Chattanooga." W. S. Rosecrans. The Face and Iluutl of the La te Frcslilcul. About the time the memorial services were held for the late President Garfield at Washington, his family and friends in trusted te Mr. St. Gaudens, the sculptor of Farragut's statue, the work of casting iu bronze the face aud left hand of the de ceased. The plaster cast used for the work is the only one iu existence, and it was thought necessary te have it in brenze se that it could be kept forevor as a his torical memento. The meulding and cast ing in brenze were given te E. Henry & Beunard, of New Yerk, and they were successfully accomplished. The face cast ing weighs seven and a-lialf pounds and the hand two aud a-balf pounds. After the performance of the operation the mould was broken, as the work was done for the family. The cast of the face repre sents Mr. Garfield's features exactly a. they were after death, showing traces of his sufferings. During the making of tlie mould and the taking of the cast precau tions were adopted se that no copies should be taken by any person. Suftlltjwliig u Tntlpnle and New UiU'iieilnjj a Fieg. Several days age Mrs. David Sehuauf fer, of Sand Lake, N. Y., was taken vio lently ill and when a physician was called she declared that there was a snake in her stomach. She says that last September while drinking from a brook she swal lowed the reptile. The doctor upon inves tigation became satisfied that the woman had swallowed a tadpole which has since turned into a frog. The reptile's presence in the stomach et the patient is easily felt from the outside, and its movements can be traced. The woman will be removed te the Albany hospital for treatment. LOCAL mTELLHiENCE. . . TALLY HO! The fe Chase at NcU'.ville. The fox chase which took place at Flem ing's hotel, Ncffsville, yesterday, was very largely attended by professional hunters and ethers. There were about a score of mounted men and forty hounds in the chase. The fox, a strong and fleet run ncr, gave the huntsmen and hounds as fine a run as could be desired, but was finally overtaken aud killed. Jacob Rutter, of Intercourse, secured the " brush," but had the misfertune te be badly bitten in the thumb by the fox. Messrs. Rutter and Bair, from Inter course, had 23 hounds (only a portion of their pack), Kauffman and ethers had 13 which made a pack of 40. At 4 o'clock Rutter came into the crowd with a beauti ful red fox and made his way to wards au open let across the way, where, amid the screams of the men and boys, Reynard was set free. In defiance of the large crowd that followed he waved his long bushy tail in the air until he was lest te sight. Fifteen minutes start was al lowed him. When the hounds were let loose they immediately took the trail and wiiiieat losing it once peer jeynard was overtaken and killed, after a three mile run, in the lawn nt Mr. D. P. Lechcr's farm en the Lititz turnpike. Rutter bains first iu at the death secured the brush, and his deg "Sayler" was awarded $3 premium for first deg at the death. The hunt was followed by about twenty horsemen, and many private con veyances, occupied by seme of our best known citizens, who seemed delighted with the sport. Sale of Keal .Estate. B. F. Rewe, auctioneer, sold for tha executers of Catharine Tshudy, at the Keystone house, last evening, let of ground northwest corner of Chestnut and Pine streets, 25 feet front by 140 iu depth, en which is erected a frame building, te Wm. McCemsey, for $1,280. COURT OF O.UABTEK SESSSONS. The Adjourned Term. Monday Afternoon. Cem'th vs. Frank Bryson assault and battery with'intent te ravish. Mrs Mary Kunkle, residing in Paradise township, testified that the de fendant came te her house en December 1G, 1S77, and three times assaulted her, attempting te remove her clothing ; she made outcries which were net heard. The witness admitted having offered te settle the case. Other witnesses testified what the defendant swore te at the squire's office. The commonwealth abandoned the charge of attempting te commit rape. The dofense was that Bryson did net make any assault and the woman is net worthy of belief. The jury convicted the defendant of simple assault ; sentenced te pay a flue of $3 and costs. The Gandaker case. Tuesday Morning. This morning the jury was sworn in the case of cem'th vs. Emanuel Gundakcr, who was charged with sheeting Edward Cele. After seme talk between counsel J. Hay Brown, esq., for the defense, arose aud made a statement te the court ; he said that his client would new withdraw his plea of net guilty aud enter one of guilty, as he thought it use less te fight the case any longer, as he is technically guilty and he uew tkrowshira tkrewshira self upon the merciful consideration of the court. In regard te the offence, counsel said that defendant at the time of the sheeting had yielded te the infirmities of human natuie, being stung te madness by the conviction aud belief that the prose cutor had invaded his home, alienated the affections of his wife, estranging his family from him, making him homeless, aud iu au unguarded moment had com mitted the otfeuse claimed. Mr. Reynolds, associate counsel for the commonwealth, stated that there was no foundation for the belief of the defendant at the time of the sheeting. The court said they would postpeno the sentence until Saturday morning, and the prisoner was committed te prison. A verdict of net guilty was taken in the case against the same defendant charging him with carrying concealed weapons. Cem'th vs. Emma Harmen, larceny. The presecutrix was Bridget O'Neil, who resides in Safe Harber. She testified that the defendant was working for her iu De cember last for two days, and after she left the follewmg articles were found te be missing : half dozen spoons, three geld rings, gloves, silk handkerchief and wear ing apparel. The defendaut was arrested and .she admitted that she stelo the arti cles. The rings were icturned by her iu a letter te Mrs. O'Neil. The dofenso was that upon the occasion of the larceny Mrs. O'Neil bought seme whisky, of which the defendant drank aud became iutexicatcd ; she then took the articles, but after she lefc 3Irs. O'Ncil's she thought she had done wrong and in several days she returned the rings by letter, and Mrs. O'Neil afterward came after the ether things, which were given her by defendant's mother. Witnesses were called te testify te the defendant's honesty. Mrs. O'Neil denied that she gave the girl anything except a spoonful of liquor, which she used for cooking. Tha jur' ten dered a verdict of guilty, with a recommen dation of mercy te the court. Sentenced te two months imprisonment. Iu the case of Cem'th vs. William F. Murphy,charged with assault and battery, a verdict of net guilty, with county for costs, was taken, as it appeared that the defendant accompanied an officer te assist in arresting seme boys, and it was then when it was alleged he made an assattlt en one named Taggart. It appeared that he had done nothing except what he had a right te de. ?uiie(i. j:ntkktai,vukst. t.riit bi'ittieti el Longfellow's Ulttluluy. e i lien, whose potent genius (litce the sun Tenderly mellowed by a rippling- haie) II:is gained thee all men's homage, Sew' ml praise, Sniely thy well of liln is net eiiUpini, Thy glory rounded, thy JasL guerdon wen !

JIayne te Longfellow. Yesterday was the 7eth anniversary of the birth of Longfellow, the pest. In commemoration of the event, a literary and musical entertainment was given last evening in Miss Lizzie Carpenter's public school, cerner of Lemen aud Lime streets. The school l-oem was very handsomely festooned with evergreens and a fine steel plate engraving of Longfellow hung in a prominent position, with the dates "1807"' and " 1882" en either side of the picture. Nearly all the pcrfermcis were pupils of Miss Carpenter's first class, and all the selections given by them were from Long fellow's writings. There wera also apt quotations from the great poet written upon the black-beards of the school room. The room was entirely tei small te seat the audience the school room cloak loom, and vestibule being crowded, while a large number of visitors were unable te gain admittancc,and left without hearinga word of the entertainment. The audience was composed principally of school direc ters, teachers, pupils and their parents. The several selections wcie all well ren dered by the pupils, showing that Miss Carpenter had thoroughly and carefully drilled them iu their respective parts. The selections sung byMissMcMicI.aei and Miss Mamie Bcrner were very fine, and highly appreciated. At the request of Miss Car penter City Superintendent Buenrle took general charge of the entertainment and announced the pieces, as fellows : Music, "Hence, New Away," by the class ; essay.

COLUMBIA NilWS. OIK REQUI.AU COKUE-SfONlJENCi: Hundreds of persons visited the diffeieut public schools yesterday afternoon, te hear the children celebrate the 75th birthday of 11. W. Longfellow. None of them were disappointed iu their expectations, as each and every school's pregramme was excel lent. Especially is this true with the high and grammar schools. Nearly every school was mere or less handsomely deci rated. Following are the exercises and decoration at the high school : Te the right and centre of the school room, in front, iu a half-circle were ever greens, hung in a tastefully arranged man ner. Above the circle were the words " IIENK7 WADSWOllTn I.ONOFELI.OVT, . BORN FED. 27TII, 1S07." And directly beneath was his favorite motto : " Lives el gieatlucn ull leuilnd m. We can nmUe cur lives sublime." Iu front of this, standing en a table, was a large portrait of the great poet, the frame encased with scarlet aud old geld. On each side of this were large stands with beautiful bouquets en them. On the right hand side of the room was a Gar field motto his advice te the American boys crossed and joined at the top by American llags. The left side of the school room was by far the prettic.it dec orated.

It is epe of the most difficult selections te deliver that Longfellow ever wrote, but the young lady handled it iu a manner se peculiar te herself, that her audience were delighted ami showed their appreciation by loudly applauding. Miss Emily Obcrlain'si original essay en "Hiawatha" was an excellently written piecf, and te make it still mere difficult she had written in blank verse. She was followed by twoiccitatiens from this poem; " Hiawatha's Wooing," by Miss Sallie Steinhciser, and " The Taucrede." by Miss Daisy Crewnsbicld.
