Hamelin Town’s in: Brunswick, _ ,
By famous Hanover city ; ‘ .
The rIVer‘Weser, deep and wide;
Washes its wall on the southern side;
-A pleasanter spot you never' spied;
But, when begins my ditty,
Almost five hundred years ago,
To see the townsfolk suffer so
From vermin, was a'pity.
Rats l ' , '
They fought the dogs, and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
' And licked the soup from the cook’s own ladlel, 4
Split open the kegs of salted sprats, ‘ ‘
Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
And even spoiled women’s chats, ,
' By drowning their speaking '
With shrieking and squeaking _-
In fifty difi'erent sharps and flats. i
At last the people in a body .
To the Town Hall came fiocklug‘: _ . ,
“’T is clear," cried they. “Our Mayor’s a uoddy-; ‘
And as for our Corporli‘tlon,—sh0ckiug
To think we buy gowns lined with ermine
For dolts that can’t or won’t determine
What’s best to rid us of our vermin !
You hope, because you’re old and Obese,
To find in the furry civic robe case ?
Rouse up, Sirsl Give your brains a racking
To find the remedy we’re lacking,
'01-, sure as fate, we’ll send you pricking 1"
At this the Mayor and Corporation
Quaked with a mighty consternation.
An hour they sat in counsel,
At length the Mayor broke silence: ' ,
"For a guilder I’d my ermine gown sell; ‘
I wish I were a mile hence!
It‘s easy to bid one'rack one‘s bratn,-- '
I’m sure my poor head aches again
I‘ve scratched it so, and all in vain.
O for a trap, a trap, a trap l”
Just as he said this, what should hep
At the chamber door but a gentle tap?
“Bless us,” cried the Mayor, ”what’s that t”
(With the Corporation as he sat,
Lobking little, though wondrous fat ; ,
Than a too long-opened oyster,
Save when at noon his paunch grew mutiuoua
For a plate of turtle green and glutinous)
Anything like the sound ofa rat
Makes my heart go pitta-pat !
“Come in l“—the Mayor cried, looking bigger
And in did come the strangest figure l
His queer long coat from he‘el to head
Was half of yellow, half of red ;
And he himself was tall and thin,
With sharp blue eyes, each like a pin,
And light loose hair, yet sw arthy skin,
No tuft on cheek nor heard on chin,
Butlips where smiles went out and in,—
There was no guessing his kith Or kin 1
And nobody could enough admire
The tall man and his quaint attire:
Quoth one : “It’s as my great grand sire;
Starting up at the Trump ofDoom’s tone.
Had walked this way from his painted tomb-stone!”
He advanced to the council table:
And "please your honors,” said be. "I’m able,
By means ofa secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun,
That creep, or swim, or fly or run,
After me so as you never saw 1
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm,
The mole, and toad, and newt, and viper, ;
And people call me the Pied Piper," '
(And here they noticed round liislneck
A scarf of red and yellow stripe,
To. match with his coat of the. selfsame chock ;-
And at the scarf’s endhung a pipe ; . .-i -
Audhis fingers, they noticed, were ever straying
As if impatient to be playing
Upon his pipe, as low it dangled
Over his vesture so old-fangled.)
“Yet,” said be, “poor piper as I am,
In’Tartary I freed the Cham ,
Last June from his huge swarms of guts;
I eased in Asia the Nizam
Of a monstrous brood of vampire bats :
o
".
’ .
IfI can rid your town of rats - . '
Will you give me a thousand gullders f” ,
“One ? fifty thousand l” —was the exclamation
Of the astonished Mayor and Corporation.
Into the street the Piper stept,
Smiling first a little smile.
As if heknew what magic slept
In his quiet pipe the while;
Then, like a musical adept, ~
To blow the pipe his lips he Wrinkled,_
And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled
Like a candle flame where salt Is sprinkled; .
And ere three shrill notes the pipe uttered,
You heard as if an army muttered; '
And the muttering grew to a grumbling:
And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling,-
And out of the houses the rats came tumbling,
Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawuy rat's,
Brown rats, black rats, gray rats. tawny rats,
Grave old plodders, gay young friskers,
Fathers, mothers. uncles, cousins,
Cooking tails and prickling whiskers, _ _
' Families by tens and dozens, ,.
Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives-r -
Followed the Piper for their lives.
From street to street he piped advancing,
And step for step they followed dancing,
Until they came to the river Weser ‘
Whereln all plunged and perished
—Save one who, stout as Julius Cesar,
Swain across and lived to carry
(As he the manuscript he cherished)
To Rat-land home his commentary, '
Which was, ”At the first shrill notes of the pipe,
I heard a' sound as of scraping tripe,
And putting apples, wondrous ripe,
In'to a cider-press’s gripe ;
And a moving away of pickle-tub boards, '
And a leaving ajar of conserve-cupboards, .
And a drawing the corks of train-oil flasks,
And abreaking the hoops of butter cooks ;
And it seemed as if avoice -
(Sweeter far. than by harp or by psaltery
Is breathed,) called out, 0 rats, rejoiéel _
The world is grown to one vast drysalteryl
So munch on, crunch on, take yOur nuncheon,
Breakfast, supper, dinner,'luncheonl .
And just as a bulky sugar-puncheon,
All ready slaved, like a great euushone
Glorious scarce an inch before me,
Just as methought it said. Come. bore me i
—I found the Weser rolling oler me."
You should have heard the Hamelin people
Ringing the bells till they rocked the steeple ;
“Go," cried the Mayor, "and get long poles l
Poke out the nests and block up the holes!
Consult with carpenters and builders,
And leave in our town not even a trace ‘
0fthe rats l"—when suddenly up the face
Of the Piper perked in the market-place, ' '
With a “First if you please, my thousandguildersl"
A thousand guilders .l , The Mayor looked blue:
So did the, Corporation too. .
For council dinners made rare havock '
With Claret, Moselle, Vin-de-Grave, Hock;
And half the money would replenish '
Their cellar’s bigges tbutt with Rheniah.
To pay this sum to a wandering fellow. ' ' - ,
With a gypsy coat of red and. yellow! . ' . . " .
"Besides,” quoth the Mayor, with a knowing wink.
“Our business was done at th'ériver‘nbrluk ;
We saw with our eyes the vermin sink,
And what’s dead can’t come to life I think.
So, friend we‘re not the folks to shrink
From the duty ofgivlng you something for drink,
-And a matter of money to put in your poke;
But, as for the gullders, what we spoke ‘
Ot'them, as you very well know, was in joke.
Besides, our losses have made us thrifty;
A thousand guildersl Come take fifty l" -
The Piper’s face fell, and he cried,
“No trifling!" I can’t wait, besidel .
I’ve promise to visit by dinner timed
Bagdat. and accept the prime ‘ ' - '
0f the Head Cook's pottage, all he’s rich in,
For having left, in the Callph’s kitchen
Of a nest of scorpions no imrvlvon— -
. And the Piper advanced and the children followed,
My lame foot would be'speedily cured,
With you, don’t think I’ll batea stlver! ~
. And folks who put mein a passion
May find me pipe to another fashion.” ,
“How i”, criedthe Mayor, “d’rye ithlnk I’ll brook '
Being worse treated thaua Cook! , ' - ‘
Insulted by a'lazy rlbald
With idle pipe and vesture "plebaldi
You threaten us fellow ? Do your worst,
Blow your pipe there till you burst 1”
Once more he stcpt into the street:
And to his lips again ,
Laid his long pipe of smooth strut t clue;
And ere he blew three notes (encuneet-
Soft notes as yet musicians‘ cunning ;
Never gave the'enraptured air) ' i _ '
There was a rustling, that seemed like a bustling
Ofmerry crowds justling at pitching and hustling,
Small feet were patterlug, wooden shoes (flattering,
Little hands clapping, and little tongues chattering,
And, like fowls in a barn-yard where barley, 1! scat:
tering, I . i V , -
Out came the children running”.
All the little boys and girls, ,
With rosy cheeks and fiaxen curls; ,' ' ' ' . ‘ "‘ i "
And sparlkliug eyes and teeth like pearls, ' ,' - ' i
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after .
The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.
The mayor was dumb, and the council stood
As ifthey were changed into blocks of wood.
Unable to move a step, or cry
To the children merrily skipping by,—
And could only follow with the eye
That joyous crowd at the Piper’s back.
But how the Mayor was on the rack,
And the matched Council’s beloms beat,
As the Piper turned from the High Street ‘
To where the Weser rolled its waters
Right in the way of their sons and daughters!
However he turned from South to West,
And to Kopelberg Hill his steps addressed,
And after him the children pressed;
Crest was the joy in every breast. ’
“He never can cross that mighty top !
He's forced to let the piping drop,
And we shall'see our children stop 1 ”
When 10! as they reached the mountain's side
A wondrous portal opened wide, ‘
As lf a cavern was suddenly hollowed ;
And when all were in to the very last,
The door in the mountain side shut fast.
Did Isay all! No. One was lame,
And could not dance the whole of the way :
And in after years, if~you would blame
His sadness, he was used to say,—
“It’s dull in our town since my playmates left 1
I can’t forget that I’m bereft
Of all the pleasant sights they see, i
Which the Piper also promised me;
For he led us. he said, to a joyous land,
Joining the town and just at hand,
Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew,
And flowers put forth with fairer hue,
And everything was strange and new ;
The sparrows were brighter than peacocks here,
And their dogs outran our fallow deer,
And honey-bees had lost their stings.
And horses were borne with eagles’, wings,
And just as I became assured,
The music stopped and I stood still,
And found myself outside the Hill,
Left alone against my will,
To go now limping as before,
And never hear of that country more I”
Alas! alas for Hamelin l
There came into many aburgher’s pate
A text which says, that Heaven’s Gate
Opes to the Rich at as easy rate
As the needle‘s eye takes a camel in!
The Mayor sent East, West, North,- aud South
To offer the Piper by word of mouth, , ‘
Wherever it was men‘s lot to find him,
Silver and gold to his heart’s content,
If he’d only return the way he went.
2 And'bring the children behind him; ' '
But when they saw ’t was a lost endeavor, '
And Piper and dancers were gone forever,
They made a decree that lawyers never
Should think their records dated duly
If, after the day of the month and year,
These words did not as well appear.
“And so long after what happened here .
On the Twenty-second of July,
Thirteen hundred and Seventy-Six”.- '
And the better‘in mémOry to fix
The place Of the Children’s last retreat,
They called it, the Pied Piper’s Street,—
Where any one playing on pipe or tabor
Was sure for the future to loose his labor.
Nor suffered their Hostelry or tavern
To shock with mirth a street so solemn ;
But opposite the place of the cavern
They wrote the story on a column,
And on the Great Church Window painted
The same, to make the wo rid acquainted
How their children were stolen away;
And there it stands to this very day.
And I must not omit to say
That in Transylvania there’s atribe
0f alien people that ascribe
The outlandish ways and dress
On which their neighbors lay such stress,
To their fathers and mothers having risen
Out ofsome subterraueous prison
Into which they were trepanned
Long time ago in a mighty band, >
Out of Hamelin town in Brunswick land,
But how or why, they don't understand.
So, Willy, let you and me be wipers
of scores out with all men—especially pipers:
And, whether they pipe as free from rats or from
mice,
If we’ve promised them aught, let us keep our prom-

BOONSBORO, Iowa, Oct. 18, 1865.
DEAR GAZETTE—As some of your read-
ers may feel disposed to attend to the march
of empire westward, a description of at least
one point in that wide realm occidental,.may
not be uninteresting. With a map of the
Western States before you, put the finger
down at Chicago ; then trace that meridian
line directly west along the C. 85 N. W. R.
R., a well built and well ofllceredRailway—
say 200 miles more or less, crossing the Mis-
sissippi River at ClintOu, passing Cedar Rap-
ids, Marshalltown and Nevada, you reach the
beautiful farm buildings and site of the Iowa
Agricultural College. Endowed by the gen-
eral Government with a large body of land,
and new building with $50,000 granted by
the State. Twelve or fourteen miles further
on, is the terminus of this excellent road,
at this writing, and one of the best business
centres in the great Northwest—Boousnono.
Leaving Skunk River, Clear Creek, and
the timber at College Farm, you have. a
stretch of high, rich, rolling prairie, asfertilo
and beautiful as the eye could desire. This
continues on to the Des Moines River, in a
bend of which, and out onto the lap of this
prairie sits the town of Boousboro. A
vote has just, passed by election to build a
new Court House worth $35,000. The popu-
lation, now about 2,000, isconstantly increas-
ing with every train from the East. Three
or four passenger cars at every arrival, and ‘a.
:wildernees of baggage, testify her progress.
Plenty of excellent timber and coal; the
clay good for earthen ware. All the west
flowing here to embark and the East to dis-
embark. The River here runs clear, over
sand and gravel, deep- below the surround-
ing land, never overflowing. There is little
doubt but that this will be the north branch
of the great Pacific Road. Take the map
and judge for yourself; and while- you have
it look down to Keokuk and-trace the com-
ing of that Des Moines Valley Rail Road,
now at Pella, on its way via Des Molues

The Assistant Treasury at New
' York.
: Theleadiug financial institution in the
_ United States is the United States assistant
treasury at New York. Though it is only
an assistant treasury, and the treasury prop-
er is at Washington, yet the transactions of
the former are ac vastly greater in volume
than those of the latter, that the chief work
of the Washington office is keepingrrecord of
the business done by its New York branch,
Nineteen-twentieths of the public creditors
are paid here; nearly all the public loans are
disposed of here ; byfar the greater part of
the revenue from customs and taxes-is re-
ceived here, and here is paid, on the- days
fixed by law, the interestpaid on $2,0000,000
of the United States securities. A business
of from $3,000,000 to 10,000,000 daily-iadoue
here—done quickly, quietly and without
errors or disputes. N0 institution in the
city is better worth inspection than the sub-
treasury, and be it said, in simple justice, no
man is more willing to have it inspected than

There are two
of them; but one is comparatively empty,
as it only holds .4 some $10,000,000. The
other contains over $60,000,000, one-half in
coin the other half in paper. How many
readers have ever seen $1,000,000 in paper
or gold? We remember one of the oldest
of our judges,.a man Of large experience and
profound wisdom, interrupting a party Of
talkers who were chattering about millions
of gold, with the naive question : “How
big is amillon of gold? Would it rest on
this table? Would'dago under this chair?
HOw many men would it take to carry it?
What does it look like?”
His honor might have gratified'his curiosi-
ty by a visit to the sub-treasury. There
$30,000,000 of gold lie dormant, awaiting
the resurrectiOn of specie payments. They
are putup in bags containing $5000 each,
and weighing Sayfor’ty-five pounds. These
bags:are piled one: upon another in closets,
which line the‘inner wall of the vault; a
hundred bags fill a closet. When filled, the
door is closed, locked, and sealed with the
cashier’s seal; a ticket attached specifies,
that in that dark and narrow hole $500,000
in gold lie hidden. Fifty or more such clos-
ets may be seen, duly closed, locked and
sealed. But in that vault,wh0se wealth far
outshines the widest fables of Oriental story,
bags of gold lie around in every corner]—

are so pleantiful, and so seemingly despised
bythe Oflicials who handle them, that insen-
sibly the spectator loses his respect for them
.and forgets that the possession of a few such
bags would realize his life-long dreams of
These bags are the product of customs du-
ties. Every day, between3 and 4 o’clock,
alittle hand-cart, ark-shaped, painted red,
covered over and locked may be seen trave1-'
ing up Wall street, propelled by two stout
men, and wending its way from the custom-
house to the sub-treasury. There are but
two-men Ostensibly engaged in pushing the
little red cart, but a careful observer may die
cover two other men, like-wise stout and ev-
er watchful, who lounge up the sidewalk on
a parallel line. In these days, when the
customs duties are heavy, the little red ark
sometimes contains $750,000—a prize worth
the attention of robbers. But it is never at-
tacked. When it reaches the sub-treasury
it is unlocked, and the bags handed in.—
Each bag is then counted by the treasurer’s
clerks. They count with both hands, and
with a rapidity and accuracy truly wonder-
full. They seem to possess a sort of,instinct
—the product of long experience—which en-
ables them to discover a false coin at a
glance. Pieces which have Split open, the
inside flied out, the cavity filled with
iridium, the two halves , when
dered together, and remilled 'again on
the edges, are so like genuine coins that the
best judges are often deceived by them.—
They weigh precisely the same as genuine
coins. They are precisely the right size.
Their
external throughout are gold. Yet these
counterfeits are detected at a glance by the
experienced clerks of the treasury. It used
,to be said of Mr. E. H. Birdsale, the present
cashier, that when he Was a clerk he could
in emptying a $5000 bag, at the first dip of
his hands into the glittering mass, pick out
all the spurious coins.
. _ There is a quantity of silver in the sub-
treasury, in bags and kegs, but after one has
been handling milliohs of gold it seems a
poor sort of metal. A silver closet holds
$40,000; there are a few dozen of them full
to repletion. Within a short time consider-
able a'm'ouuts of- silver have arrived here
from New Orleans—the product of duties
Or of the confiscation act. Many of the coins
are rusty and dingy. and it is shrewdly sus-
supremacy, these pieces slept the sleep of the
just in damp and underground holes. One
of the New Orleans banks isknown to have
buried its coin when the confederate shin-
p‘lasters' made their appearance, and the plan
was doubtless adopted by many private in-
dividuals. .
Of paper money the sub-treasury in New
York holds some, forty millions. Of this
over eighteen millions are in fives, tens and
twenties, and are piled’ on a shelf in the
vault. As nearly-as he could calculate by
the eye, there is about a cord and a half of
this money. It might fill a two-horse my

The vaults of the sub-treasury may really
be said to defy burglars. In the first place.
they are built on thirty-five feet of solid ma-
sonry, so that digging under them and work-
ing by a tunnel to the floor would be im-
practicable. Then they stand in the main
hall of the treasury building, in which a
watch is always kept, and into which. it
would require no small labor to intrude af-
ter nightfall. The vaults themselves are
iron chambers, with iron floors, roofs, and
walls. The latter are two feet thick and
hollow; the hollow being filled with musket-
balls, which defy the burglar’s drill. Four
doors of massive iron, close the entrance to
the vault; each door is locked with ova
looks, so that eight different keys, of peculiar
mechanism, are required to open sesame.
Uncle Samuel, poor fellow, is not likely to
be robbed at this office, however he may
fare elsewhere. , We remember the sub-treas-
ury when Mr. Cisco was first appointed its
chief, in two rooms Of the Assay building—-
a quiet, retired establishment, in which no-
body spoke above a whisper,aud a few clerks
leisurely counted their gold, and demurely
paid the salary of the president and other
public functionaries. People went there to
chat with the sub-treasurer—a man of leisure
and considerable information—and twice a
year called to collect their interest. It was
so slow and so. Old fogy an institution that
even the small Wall street bankers used to
laugh at it. In these days the sub-treasurer

A BRITISH STOMP SPEECH.—The English
newspapers are in the habit of making mer-
ry over the speeches of our stump orators,
We do not believe they can mention one
who has made sobad a. figure as did Lord
Uffington in a. speech to the electors of Berk
shire, in the late canvass, as reported in their
own newspapers:
“ Gentlemen, I am in favor Of the govern-
ment that have governed the country for the
last six years, and I am of opinion—I am 'of
opinion—should be upheld. (Here he stop-I

something, a voice cried out: ‘ You have

been opposed for six years to everything
which has been for the public good. The

your hat,” followed by roars of laughter.)
Here it is. (The noble candidate, taking a
piece of paper out Of his hat, held it up,
which was followed by roars of laughter.)
It’s all very fine; if you think it’s an easy
thing, you just come up and try. (Roars of
laughter.) At all events they maintained
peace; but if they had had it their own this
inestimable blessing would have been sacri-
ficed, and—aud—(A voice—“Oh, do help the

ter.) On these grounds, gentlemen, I shall
support the present parliament. (Roars of
Laughter.) I hope you will do the same.”
(Renewed laughter.) Lord Uflington had,
during these remarks, been prompted by the
Hon. E. Bouverie and Mr. Barrett; and his
own party put their hands up to their faces
and seemed very uncomfortable. After some
minutes had passed he said ; “I don’t care

In response Earl Russell proceeds to justi-
fy the course of her Majesty’s government

are given why therewas extreme difficulty
in giving orders to exclude from British
ports vessels-of-war partlyfittgd up in the

A very important point is referred to in‘
this letter. Earl Russell notices a statement
in a letter from Mr. Adams. in 1863, as to
the_goyernment of .Washington beingready
to referthese disputes inarbitration. ’ '
Earl Russell declines thisrofl‘er, and says it
. is a question, in the first place, whether the
Queen’s government have acted in good
faith in maintaining their neutrality, and in
the second place whether the law Officers Of
.the crows have ccrrectly interpreted a Brit-
ish statute. -
Earl Russell continues z—L“ The Queen’s
gov ernment can refer neither of these ques-
tions to arbitration.” The words used by him
are as follows :-—‘-‘Her Majesty’s government
are the sole guardians of their own honor.
They cannot admit they have acted with bad
faith in maintaining the neutrality they pro-
fessed. 'The law Officers of the crown must
beheld to be better interpreters of a British .
statute than any foreign- government _ Can be
presumedto be. Her Majesty’s government
must therefore decline to make reparation
and compensation for captures made by the
Alabama, or to refer the question to any for- '
eign State. Her Majesty’s government con-
ceive that if they were to act otherwise it
would endanger the position of neutrals in
all future wars. Her Majesty’s government
‘are, howeve, readyto consent to the appoint-
ment of a commission to which shall be re-
ferred all claims arising during the War,
which the two Powers shall agree to refer to
the commissioners”, '
MR. ADAMs’ BEJOINDEB—THE DIFFICULT!
, snows SERIOUS. "
The reply of Mr. Adams is dated the 18th
of September, and is very serious in its tone.
‘Mr.,Adams considers that there is now
no dispute as to the fact that the recognition
of the South as=«belligerents was such as'was
never done- by one nation towards another
in a state of amity. He charges the British
government with having acted without
knowledge and upon mere presumption in
assuming that the evidence of the blockade
of the Southern ports was imperfect. The
blockade, he says, was the consequence, not
the cause, of British policy. He thinks that
the only excuse for the British govern-
ment is that its conduct was precipitate. He
then intimates that if the doctrines and prac-
tices of the British government are allOwed -
to become the rule, the United States will»
not be the greatest losers thereby. - u
Mr. Adams does not appear to think that
questions in dispute to a commission willzbe - -
accepted by the United States government.
