Such should, methinks, its music be : The sweetest name that mortals bear Were best befitting thee; And she, to whom it once was given , Was half of earth and half of heaven. I hear thy voice. I see thy smile, I look upon thy folded hair ; Ah ! while we dream tot they beguile, Cui hearts are in the snare ; And she who chains a wild bird's wing Must start net if her captive sing. So, lady, take the leaf that falls, To all but thee unseen, unknown ; When evening shades thy silent walls, Then read it all alone : Tu stillness read, in darkness seal, Forget, despise, but not reveal ! Tlie Mexican Crown. MAXIMILIAN ACCEPTS THE THRONE. THE MKXICAN PROCKSSION TO MIRAMAR. Four carriages, belonging to his impe rial highness, preceded by outrider.-, went ! to convey the deputation from the hotel j where they had lodged at the cxx?nse of the Archduke. Ihe deputation wns com posed of M. Gutierrez de Kstradii, the President ; Colonel Velasquez de Leon, Ex-Minister; M. Aguliar, Ex-Charge d' Affairs ; Gen. Woll ; M. Esandon, ban ker ; and M. Landa, merchant. A num ber of eminent Mexicans, among whom were M. Arrangoiz, Ex-Minister of Fi nance ; M. Murphy, formerly Mexican Envoy at London ; Colonel Fatio, M. Gutierrez le Estrada, Jr., with several Generals, Colonels, and other officers, ac companied the by deputation. All were in full uniform, as were also the officers of the household of the Arch duke aids-de-camp and the chamberlains. KKCEITIOX OF -THE Dltt'UT V TIOS AND TEN DKK OF THE CKOWN. The deputation, after being received by Count Zachy, who filled the functions of j Grand Master of the household of his Imperial Highness, were introduced into the grand drawing room, into which the Archduke Maximilian, wearing the uni form of an Austrian Vice Admiral, im mediately afterwards enteral. The French aud Iklgian Ministers in Austria were present at the ceremony. M. Guiterrcz do Estrada then delivered a speech expressing the joy felt by the Mexican deputation in finding themselves in the presence of his Imperial Highness ; they ha I come in the name of the Impe rial liegency to announce that the vote of the notables which had conferred the crown on him is henceforth ratified by the enthusiastic adhesion of the immense ma jority of the country ; the unanimous ac clamation of the notables of Mexico, of the municipal corporations, has become a truly national vote. Maximilian's kkpi.y. The following is the translation of the full speech of the Archduke Maximi.n of Austria, in reply to the deputation His Imperial Highness spoke in Spanish : "Mature examination of the acts of adhesion you have come to lay before me affords nie. the a.su ranee that the resolu tion of the Mexican notables which bro't you for the first time to Miramar is con firmed by the immense majority of your compatriots, and that I may with good right consider myself the legitimate elect of the Mexican people. The iirst condi tion expressed in my reply of the 3d of Octolier, is therefore fulfilled. The guar antee which the future empire requires to be able to consecrate itself in peace to the first of its missions the establishment upon firm bases of the independence and welfare of the country are now secured, thanks to the magnanimity of the Emper or of the French, who, throughout the progress of the negotiations, has shown himself constantly animated by a spirit of loyalty and good will, of which I shall ever preserve the remembrance. The au gust head of my family, upon his part, has given his consent to my taking pos sessisn of the throne offered to me. I am thus enabled to fulfil the eventual promise I gave you six months ago, and I now solemnly declare that with the aid of the Almighty, I accept the crown at the hands ! of the Mexican nation which tenders it to ! me. r ouownig uie traditions 01 mat new continent, so full of strength and future, Mexico has used the right of selecting a government in harmony with her wishes and her requirements. She has placed her confidence in a descendant of that House of Hapsburg which three centuries ago planted a Christian monarchy upon her soil. This confidence touches me, and I will not betray it. I accept the power of organization which the nation of DISTRIBUTED ALIKE. UPON THE HIGH AND THE LOW, THE RICH AND which you are the organs confers upon me, and I shall in any case retain it only so long as may be necessary to introduce settled order into Mexico, and to establish wise and liberal institutions. As I stated to you, gentlemen, in my address of the 3d of October, I shall hasten to place the monarchy under the safeguard of consti tutional laws as soon as the country shall be completely pacified. The strength of the executive power is, in my opinion, secured by the precision equally with the well defined establishment of its limits ; it is therefore my intention, in carrying on my government, to fix such boundaries as may guarantee its stability. I firmly hope that we shall prove that well regula ted liberty is perfectly compatible with the reign of order. I shall know how to respect the one and to cause resject to be shown to the other. I shall hold hih the Hag of independence, the symbol of future greatness, with the same vigor. I ask the assistance of all Mexicans who love their country to aid me in accom plishing my splendid but difficult task. Union will make us"strong, will procure for us peace and prosperity. My Gov ernment will never forget the gratitude it owes to the illustrious prince whose gen erous support has brought about the re generation of our beautiful country. Up on the way to ray new country it is my intention to visit Home, to receive from the hands of the Holy Father those bene dictions so precious to all sovereigns, and which are doubly important to me, as called upon to found a new empire." SOLEMN RATIFICATION OF THE ACT KE- .IOICINC.S IN THE NEW COL'KT. As soon as the Archduke had uttered the last word, the deputation and all the Mexicans present acclaimed their new sov ereign by crying out three times, "God save the Emperor Maximilian I!" ' God save the Empress Charlotte!" At the same instant salutes of artillery, fired from the bastions of the castle, announced to the public the accession of the Archiduke Maximilian to the throne of Mexico, and were immediately followed by other salutes from the port and town of Trieste. Then M. Gutierrez de Estrada, as 1 'resident of the deputation, returned thanks to his Majesty for his definitive acceptance of the Mexican crown. He said: "Sire, the complete and ab solute acceptance on the part of your Maj esty is the prelude of our happiness ; it is the consecration of the salvation of Mexi co, of its approaching regeneration, of its future greatness. Every year on this day our children will offer up thanksgivings to heaven in gratitude for our miraculous deliverance. As for us, sire, there re mains a last duty to perform, and that is to lay at j-our feet our love, our gratitude, and the homage of bur fidelity." On saving these words the President of the deputation bent his knee and kissed the hand of the new sovereign, according to Spanish custom as a mark of homage. I lis example was followed by all the Mex icans present. A process verbal of the acceptance of the crown of Mexico having been drawn up, the Emperor Maximilian first affixed his signature to it, after which the mem lers of the deputation did the same, and lastly the notable Mexicans. That ceremony having been accom plished, the deputation proceeded into the apartments of the Princess Charlotte, whom they also proclaimed, and rendered homage to her in the same manner. While these things were taking place at Miarmar, the news of the proclamation of the Emperor of Mexico had already reach ed Trieste, and the Bishop had a solemn Te Dcum of thanksgiving celebrated in the cathedral of San Giusto, at which all the authorities of the town were present. Sa lutes from the batteries were fired at the same time. Paris Moniteur, April 14. The following Keccipts arc said never to fail : To Destroy Hats. Catch them one by one, and flatten their heads in a lemon squeezer. To Kill Roaches. Get a pair of heavy boots, catch your roaches, put them in a barrel, and get in yourself and dance. To Catch Mice. On going to bed put cheese crumbs in your moustache, he with your mouth open, and when the mouse's whiskers tickle yours, oiu?. flv kites for recreation, and men for other motives ; the first require the the wind to raise the kite, the second the kite to raise the wind. ' A i'ction eeij's Motto. Come when you are bid, and bid when you come. The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. He conquei'B who endures. Inclined to be Quarrelsome. There was once a little elim-built fellow, rich as a Jew and independant as the devil, riding along a highway, in the State of Georgia, when he overtook a man dri ving a drove of hogs by the help of a big raw-boned, six-feet-two specimen of hu manity. Stopping the last-named indi vidual, he accosted him"; " I say, are these your hogs?" "No, sir, I'm to work by the month." " What pay might you be gettin" friend?" " Ten dollars a month and whiskey thrown in," was the reply. " Well look here I'm a weak, little, inoffensive man, and people are apt to im pose upon me, d'ye see ? Now, I'll give you twenty-five dollars a month, to ride along with me and protect me," was Mr. Gardner's reply " Hut," he added, as a thought struck, " how mizht you be on the fight?" "N ever been licked in my life !" re joined the six-footer. " Just tlie man I want, Is't a bargain ?" queried Gardner. Six-footer ruminated. "Twenty-five dollars double wages nothing to do but ride around and smash a fellow's mug oc caisonally when he's sassy " Six-footer accepted. They rode along till, just at night, they reached a village. Dismounting at the door, they went in. Gardner imme diately singled out the biggest man in the room, and picked a fuss with him. After considerable promiscuous jawing, Gard ner turned to his fighting friend and in timated that the licking of the man had become a sad necessity. Six-foot peeled went in and came out first best. The next night, at another hotel, the same scene was re-enacted Gardner get ting into a row with the biggest man in the place, and six-footer doing the fight ing. At last, on the third day, they came to a ferry kept by a huge double-fisted man, who had never been licked in his life. Whilst crossinii the river, Gardner as usual, began to find fault and "blow." The ferryman naturally got mad, throw things around kind o' loose, and told him his opinion of Vitir kind. Gardner then turned to his friend "from the shoulder," and gently broke'lulJlligence to him "that he was sorry, but that it was absolutely necessary to thrash that ferryman." Six footer nodded his head, but said nothing. It was plainly to be seen that he did not relish the job, by the way he shrugged his shoulders, but there wano help for it. So when they reached the shore, both stripped, and at it they went. Cp and down the bank, over the sand, into the water they fought, scratched, gouged, bit and rolled, till at the end of an hour the ferryman caved. Six-footer had been triumphant, but it had been tough work. Going up to his employer, he scratched his head for a moment, and then broke forth : "Look he.10, Mr Gardner, your salary sets very well, but I'm of the opin ion that you are inclined to be quarrel some. Here I've only been with you three days, and I've licked the three big gest men in the country. I think this firm had better dissolve, for you see, Mr. Gardner, I'm afraid you arc inclined to be quarrelsome, and I reckon I'll draw !" Letter from Iowa. Davenpokt, Iowa, May 0, 18G L Mil. Editor: In a previous letter to your paper I promised your readers the particulars in reference to the erection of the Arsenal on the Island, at the foot of what is known in the West as the Upper Kapids of the Mississippi river. Of the mauy islands of this famous river, none have the beauteous situation and grandeur of scenery that belongs to this noted one, very properly termed Kock Islam! not because its general appearance presents a broken or stony surface, but owing to the lower point being higher and projected on its edges, than the upper the soil being from three to six feet in thickness, on a base of solid limestone almost impenetra ble by the chisel. In the main the gen eral surface of the island is levcL Tlie river bed from one end of tha Kapids to the other and between the great rising Muffs on either side, is solid rock. The C. K. I. F. M. & M. railroad crosses the island, about 80 rods from the lower point, between which is the spot chosen as the site for the Arsenal buildings. Speaking of the Riilway it would bo as WCIl IO Slilic uwi ..iiv, j. 1..., ...... . .- . ny uie r.iiiwjyy rml...w.j , ...... w..t-...., the island with Iowa and Illinois. The main channel of the river runs along the j Iowa side, over which a five span and a draw-bridge is thrown. The length of each span is about 70 paces. From the island to the Illinois shore a bridge of slighter build and three span of less reach THE POOl VOL. 11 NO. 22. complete the Great Hridge. Immediately alxn-c the railway, thick timber of rapid growth extends to the upper point of the island a distance of nearly two miles and a half. The greatest width measures one half mile at the lower end. You are probably aware that a contin ual and bitter strife has been going on for several years between the party of the Mississippi valley and those of Chicago. Hills have been pushed forward by both parties, and owing to the strenuous efforts of each, neither could make headway in establishing an Arsenal at cither point, but, the issue or more properly the con test, has come to a close, both gaining the point at dispute by having the right grant ed to them to build an Arsenal at each point. The work has been going on in earnest on the island the excavation has already been made for the foundation, aud the materials are brought to the spot as expe ditiously as possible. They have cot so far along that the laying of the corner stone took place on the 21st of April. A cavity was cut in the stone, into which a tin can was placed, containing a copy of the "Davenport Daily Democrat," one of the "Daily Gazette," and the "Itock Isl and Union," a silver half-dollar and a manuscript containing the following: "This stone was laid on the 21st day of April, A. D., 18G4, being the 88th year of Amirican Independence, and the fourth year of the great slaveholders' re bel!; n against the government of the Uni ted States for the perpetuation and exten sion if African slavery. "Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States." "flichard Yates, Governor of Illinois." "Maj. C. 1'. Kingsbury, Ordnance De partment, U. S. A., commanding 11. I. Arsenal." "Win. Channon, Master Caqcnter." "Kichard Lloyd, Master Mason." "Rock Island Arsenal, April 21, 'G4 " The size of the structure will bo 180 feet by GO, three stories high above the base, making in height 08 feet. A tower will be erected which will project above the main building 3'J feet. The rock used for the building is procured from the fine quarries 15 miles above the island, on the Iowa bluffs near the town of LeCIaire, being the head of the Kapids leforo spoken of. Uy means of liat-boats the stone is floated to the bank of the island, then swung from the boat by means of tempo rary derricks to the shore. It is expected that the building will be roofed by November next. We think the. position the- most central of any other in the country, owing to its easy access by rail or waUr. While speaking of the Island, I will re late a circumstance in connection with the interesting history of it. Some years ago a tragedy was enacted on its banks that was of the most horrible character con ceivable. Col. Davenport, then a resi dent of the island, and well known by the caily settlers, was a man of good reputa tion. The time of the occurrence was on a pleasant Fourth of July, when he fell unper the stroke of murderers hands. The family had all gone to the Illinois side to Fjcnd the day with the assembled people from the couutry. While they were thus occupied, the leading actors in' the murder to advantage of the family's absence, entered the Col's, residence, seiz ed him, and by choking and punishment forced him to disclose the place where hi money was kept. The result was that the familp returned in the evening to find the husband and father lying on the floor, murdered. It is possible that a few of the readers of the Sentinel have read the thrilling nar rative of this horrible murder and tho sub sequent capture of the notorious villains, known as members of the dreaded "l'an ditti of the Prairies." The perpetrator of this crime were hunted down by one liony, of Kock Island, a detective, who succeeded in capturing one of the villains in ( )hio, an l another in Indiana, if our. memory serves us right. The search be gan from a point in Iowa, near Dubuker and resulted in their capture and hanging at the citv of Kock Island. Those who have not read liony's own statement with regard to his plan of taking them, will do well to purclrase a publiealion entitled "The Banditti of the Frnirie" to be had at almost any book and periodicai'Jtore. I will vouch for tho truth of 'this ruwra- live. 1 nave heard the same laws mm j t,ic Up:i of lue f,ienj and relatives ot North Wtr. j jji, LMVCUpOl I. i A gentleman who was relating nn ae-. s cident he had met-with from a ' fTC-war asked by a purgeon, if it was riiVthrx tciitlnr that he bad been hurt -Sivvr sir," was the reply, " it vm near the Ob strvatory."
