Is thy name Marymaidan fair?
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. '

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

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

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-
