SONG.
0, moonlight deep and tender,
A year and more agone,
Yonr mint of golden splendor
Round my betrothal shone!
O, elm leaves dark and dewy,
The very Brtrue ye Beem,
The low wind trembles throtigb ye,
Ye murmur in my dream.
O, river, dim with distance,
Flow thus forever by,
A part of my existence
Within your heart doth lie!
O, stars, ye saw our meeting,
Two beings and one Bonl,
Two hearts bo madly beating
To mingle and be whole.
O, happy night, deliver
Her kisses back to me,
Or keep them all, and give her
A blissful dream of me. IahocII.

From Our Own Corruponaent,
New Yore, June 2, 1870.
The Latent Skeleton.
Another tkclctoa has been discovered, and
there are numerous eurmiBcs as to whoso it is
and wtere It comes from. Reporters have been
trying hard to erect it into a romantic story,
though as yet they have not succeeded. The
ekcleton was found between the weather-boards
and the chimney of a house in Columbia street.
It was discovered while somo workmen were
engaged in putting up a building there. To
make room for the new building it became
necessary to pull down part of an old one. As
they were pulling it down the skeleton fell
out, and the Emokc of romance arose. The
skeleton is evidently that of a female. The
bones are all complete, and the only little
discrepancy noticed is that the two portions of
the upper part cf the skull, which is sawn
off, do not properly dovetail together. There
be those whose memories recall strange facts
at sight of the mysterious skeleton. One old
crony remembered that the house in which it
was found was formerly inhabited by a man
named Roper, who had had two wives, both of
whom had died Buddcnly and somewhat myste
riously. But as a rule New York has quite
enough to feci concerned about in the murders
of the present. City and suburbs are full of
them just now, and all kinds and quantities are
perpetrated with an indiscrimlnateness that
causes the daily newspapers to literally reck.
The very printer's ink smells of blood, and the
galleys may be said to run with gore.
The free-Love. Fight.
It js scarcely going too far to say that the
recent McFurland trial has resulted in the crea
tion of two factious, one of which believes in the
holy and lifelong obligatidus imposed by mar
riage, and the other in the equally holy absence
of obligation. These two factions fight each
other vigorously, and give no evidence of ever
Jetting up. I don't remember any case which
ever cut so quickly, so sharply, so surely, to the
very core of social and domestic life. Of course,
wherever the history of this trial has been read
the influence, to some extent, must be the same.
But in New York it is necessarily more poignant
than anywhere else. Go where you will, you
will hear the story discussed with almost the
same animation that it was in its earliest days.
Life-long friends have been divided, families
have been estranged, business and social rela
tions have been dissolrcd, by the too warm and
unrestrained discussion of the problems to
which the trial gave rise. The last people
whom you would have thought likely to espouse
the cause of the imprudent wife and mother
have been the very ones most unreasonably
virulent in her defense. The pulpit and the
press have quarrelled among themselves, and
the names of eminent and honored men have
been dragged throuch the mire. At the table of
the boarding-house or hotel it was, it even now
is, next to impossible to get through a meal
without falling out with your neighbor. I hope
the long and loud concussions of these two ma
trimonial clouds'will purify the atmosphere of
marriage. In these daj'8, when women wear the
moral and intellectual breeches, and have all
but succeeded in grasping that power which is
represented in the wearing of the material ones,
It would be too much to expecfryoung people to
grow up with pure old-fashioned notions re
specting the love of the wife for the husband
and the parent for the child.
Mr. (.nyler'a Plnv.
When, last Monday night, Mr. Charles Gayler
liberally dispensed champagne among twenty
newspaper people invited to meet him in Mr.
Booth's private office, he ought to have remem
bered that that sort of thing is in a great inea
cure played out, that oyster-supper criticism Is
on its last legs, and that the good word of New
York dramatic editors was not to be bought
with the pop of corks and the sparkle of effer
vescent wine. At any rate, the criticisms which
have been bestowed upon his play of Taking the
Chances prove that these gentlemen, as a class,
are above the vulgar bribe of "something to
drink." Of all the notices of it which amount to
anything, the Tribune is the only one that goes
into praise. The World is denunciatory; the
Times is bitter and sarcastic; the Standard
calls the comedy a mixture of gag and buncombe;
the Herald but then the Herald is not worth
mentioning in this connection. Mr. McVickar
has surprised and pleased a good many people.
lie is a quiet, easy, natural actor, performing
with much intelligence and good-nature. The
character of "Peter Tomaroy" is one of those
candid young men from the country who lrej
in butternut snits, entertain a hatred of broad
cloth, and who represent a stern degree of virtue
united to an uncommon quantity of bumptious
ness. He bullies everyone in tto play, from a
lady leader of fashion to a sinecure-seeker who
pins his faith to "collateral issues." The moral
of the piece is spurious, the sentiment is sickly,
the plot is flimsy, and the points ure the broad
est kind of gags. If this piece were produced
at the Bowery, its spread-eagleism would be
appreciated by the newsboys and bootblacks.
I can imagine Mr. Booth surveying it peusively
from his private box, and saying to himself,
"Well, I did it for the best to oblige Benson !"

Wuah and He Clean.
In managing the Department of Public Works
Mr. Tweed has so much to do that he shuts
himself up in his office from morn till night, and
has no less than three doors through which
applications of various kinds are made to him.
Through one of these notes are handed; through
another a small number of interview-seekers are
admitted; by the third the great majority of
those who wit a to see him are denied. As a rule,
about sixty applicants are oa hand at any one
moment. Notwithstanding this Mr. Tweed has
found time to bestow some attention upon the
subject of "public baths." Ample pro
vision is soon to be made for the construc
tion of a large number. So it is mid. The
first of Juno is here, however, and not
one bath "accommodation" has been erected
yet. It is all very well to invite the multitude
to wash and bo clean; but since we do not live
in primitive limes, bathing in public, so that
people can be seen from house-tops, is out of
date. In connection with this subject, I might
mention the adventures of a young man who,
without any money, had a taste for luxuries.
He went to a Rut 6ian-bath establishment, imr:
tioned that he was a reporter for the Eoening
Mail, and was accommodated with a bath
gratis. After having spent an hour and a half
in that steamy and beatific nakedneps which is
the characteristic of that order of bath, he
made his exit, attiring himself in an expensive
suit of clothes belonging to another bather, and
appropriating a gold watch in the vest pocket
of the suit. Upon what principle of common
sense the Russian-bath keeper could have ex
pected a notice in return from a gratuitous bath
bestowed upon the Bohemian I don't pretend to
understand, but he evidently did cherish that
expectation. The unhappy young man himself
has since been arrested and placed in custody.

GENERALITIES.
A rhlrngo Will Cnae.
A curious will case has just been, temporarily
at least, adjusted in Chicago. The testament
was that of one Andreas itckner. This docu
ment was drawn up by a Teutonic Justice of the
Peace, who testified that when the will was exe
cuted the testator was so far gone that he could
do no more than answer "yaw" to each ques
tion that was asked him. The Justice further
deposed that to the best of his knowledge and
belief, the said Eckner was "starved to death,"
possibly by impatient heirs and legatees, in a
hurry to realize. However, the case being given
to a jury, they found "the instrument to be the
last will aud testament of the deceased."
That Prodigious Florida Snake Charmer.
The Key West Dispatch gives the following
account of the prodigy of that place whose
Enake charming achievements are going the
rounds of the country:
He can handle snakes, scorpions, centipedes, or
whatnot, wltli perfect impunity. He makes pets
and playfellows of the larger kiud of rattiesuakes,
twisting them around him, and dallying with their
forked tongues, and their ten or twelve rattles ! He
actually lias carried scorpions in his bosom, and
waspu and hornets in his sleeves and pockets, with
out receiving bito or sting. In the loneliness of the
grove or forest, or iu any secluded place iufc9tcd
with snakes, ho can by a few talisman U: words call
around li tin any number of snakes, which he can
charm into perfect obedience to all his mandates.
He can pick them up aud lay them down at an?
given place, and at Ids bidding they will remain
there until his return, after an absence sometimes of
hours. He can take a rat or a mouse, aud so mani
pulate it so put that inexplicable tyrant spell upon
it that it at once becomes a mute suppliant for
favor, is quiescent, and rimy be tumbled about at
pleasure. The young magician avers that this
u-iraculouq power Is given liim by spirits whether
gooa or evu ce knows not.
School Kerrcatlons In Ohio.
At Steubenville, Ohio, lately, during a severe
thunder storm, a very queer clrcumstauce took
place at the new public school building. Recess
was over, and while several classes were seated
on the recitation benches, reciting to their re
spective teachers, the storm suddenly opened in
all its fury. Loud claps of thunder rolled through
the atmosphere; the winds blew, the lightnings
Hashed, the hail beat against the windows, and
the air became so dark that the teachers were
compelled to suspend the recitations aud dis
miss the classes to their seats. The pupils
gradually overcame thtir fear of the storm, and
gathered in little knots around the windows,
gazing upon the warring elements without.
They had remained thus a few moments, when
a brilliant ball of light, about a foot in diameter,
of a bluish-golden color, was observed to sud
denly descend from the heavens with fearful
velocity, and, dashing against the sidu of the
tower in a slanting direction, exploded with a
loud report, causing several children who were
tinkering with the bcll-ropc to lice in dismay to
the opposite end of the room.
Why John IHrCrady doenn't want John
Clilniiiiinn to coiue to feotuu Carolina.
The following are the conclusions arrived at
by a Mr. John McCrady, of South Carolina, in a
discussion upon the question "whether Chinese
immigration should be encouraged at this time
in the 8outh." They are contained in an ad
dress to ex-Mayor Macbeth, president of an as
sociation to encourage foreign immigration:
To sum up the results of this discussion, we con
clude that the Introduction of Chlaese labor at the
present time is unwise
l. Because we have no certainty of our being able
to control it.
a. Because it will put new power into the hands of
thoBc whose purpose it is to control it.
3. Because, If the Chinese laborer cornea first, the
white laborer will not come at all.
4. Because, if the white laborer comes first, the
Chinese laborer can be brought afterwards with the
utmost confidence of great results.
6. llecause, If the Chinese laborer comes first, we
Will reap the bcnetitsof neither kind of labor.
6. Because, if all these conclusions be true, the
introduction of Chinese labor before that of white
labor will be a practical repudiation of our own prin
ciples, and a wilful disregard of the manifest teach
ings of our own experience.
7. Because to get white Immigration first Is to giiu
everything, and to get Chinese immigration first is
to fpoll everything.
8. Because, though the Christian religion teaches
us to seek rather than to shun contact with heathen
ism, it ccrtainiy does not permit us voluntarily to
give heathm the power to legislate for us.
WIUTTEMORE.
(eiuctliloK About the ftlnn Wlint Is Thought
of hliu nt Home.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
referring to the special election which was to
take place yesterday in the First district of
South Carolina, for a successor to Whittemore,
the dealer in cadctships, and his probable re
election to Congress, writes as follows:
If the gossip which this gentleman's own neigh
bors retail about him be true, it seems strange that
even the most infatuated of Uis black constituents
should not come soon to know the man. 1 have
listened to nothing from the lips of Jtebela or Demo
crats, and get my estimate only from true, earnest
Republicans who have 1. ad to work beside the niau
in one capacity and another, in legislation and in
electioneering, and have come to know him by de
grees. These all give hlin the praiso of being
a tireless, constant laborer, ever ready to
answer any call, able to speak in steu
toriau tones by the hour and by the
day, equally capable on the stump and in the pulpit,
and an adept iu ull the social expedients known to
the local politician. But they ail attrioute to him a
readiness to replenish his pockets by any raetho4, a
willingness to conUscate small perquisites as well as
large ones, an inability to distinguish between his
personal treasury anu that of the party which
cannot but bring any politician eventually to
trief. "Why, sir." said one gi'miemau to
me, "when two lady school-teachers came to
Darlington, and the hotel Mused to take them l.i,
this man took i lie in down to the house of one
of the best citizens, and got hint to keep them over
bioht, a man with the real Southern notion of hosnt-
tulity; and then The Keprcsuntativu iu Congress
collected 75 cents apiece from them lor their 1 j l in?,
and put it in iiisuwu pocket. Tiiey went to tue sama
house lor shelter up;aiu a lew weeks after, a-id oilered
their host in the iiieriiin the satuo sum tneyli i l
paid before; and tie resented it as an insult; u:id s
the whole contemptible swindle came out." Ves,
ud that was hardly smaller itliai collecting
dimes and quarters from all the ne?coes la
his district for a nuliunsl fld, and tHeu
getting the money for the game rldir from
people In tiie North on the plea of tue poverty of
las people." "We found his account iu a sad statu
In our Jtepublicau fctate Committee ; aud when we
inquired into some of the deilclencics, lie said he
had spent a certain hundred dollars for printing
ballots for such aud such a village; but the leading
negro from there contradicted him on the spot, aud
said on the contrary he had sent down and de
manded a collection of money to pay for
the tickets, which had been duly made
and entrusted to htm. Bo we were unable la certify
to his correctness, but made a report speaking of
his great ardor aud indefatigable work in the cam
paign, and regretting his carelessnrn m keeping
his account." of course I, on a brief sojourn in
Sonth Carolina, cannot testify to the correctness of
then stories : I merely give them as specimens of
multitudes of allegations freely made among his
political friends, so far as I know uncontradicted,
and going to show how natural and consistent with
his entire career was the lapse which occasioned his
departure from Congress.
Whittemore Re-elected.'
Despatches from Charleston state that the re
turns of the election held yesterday are meagre,
but that they indicate the re-election of Whitte
more. THE CHOW OF THE PERIOD.
In Ohio an innocent, unsuspecting crow
lately fell a martyr to science in a way de
scribed in this statement of the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"To prevent depredations on the cornfield
by the crow various devices are resorted to.
On account of the many fatal accidents re
sulting of late from the careless handling of
fire-arms, this wise bird manages not to
be fooling around in the vicinity of the
muzzle of the guns when they go off. The
hanging to a pole, planted in the oornfiekl,
of a dead crow, is said to act frequently as a
good warning to living thieves of that race.
The principal objection to the plan is the dif
ficulty or getting a specimen to hang up. A
seedy gentleman of straw, arrayed in decayed
garments, is olten stationed on guard over
the growing crops, and does well enough for
a short time, but the crows are not long in
forming his acquaintance and becoming on
intimate terms with him. Once, however, I
saw a crow badly fooled on the thing. One
day, as Trofessor Ilobbs who is generally
adorned with rather mature raiment was
crossing a cornfield, he was suddenly at
tacked with one of those paralytic- strokes
of learning on the brain, and as
stood, hat in hand, in the hot snn, hoar after
hour, pursuing a train of thought on some
scientific subject, a crow, which had been
watching him all the w hile, finally came t the
conclusion that he was a genuine scare-crow,
and picking np a dead mouse, which it acci
dentally came across, described a few majes
tic circles in the air and alighted on Profes
sor's head to eat it (the mouse). Just then
the Professor came to, and clapping his hat
on with a jerk, started for home. Of course
there was something of a flatter in the region
of the learned man's ideas, and the crow be
coming entangled in his wig, was soon on his
dissecting table contributing to science."
