Alter Dark
When ‘Twighligbt gathers in her sheaves,
- And-wheeling shallows skim the tlunic
‘The ploughmiin, tui'ning homeward, leaves
His plough mid-furrow in the broom,“
And through the melancholy eves ‘
The orange drops its milk-White bloom
Tue old delights that go and come
Through sorrow, in the falling dew, 7
Like waves that wore a Wreath of foam
The darker that the waters grew,
Flow round my solitary home
At evening, when the stars are few.
So, sad and sweet as bridal tears
For broken homes, to see withdraw
The child'we love, have gone the years
We climbed the frosty l ills, and saw
D;send on all the frozen meres
The sunlightxbreaking through the thaw
L‘kc one who in the driving snow, .
When all the untrodden paths are Cim,
Hears far-off voices, faint and low,
Across the woodland calling him,
I hear the loved of long ago
Singing among-tho scraphim
And as the soft, dissembling light
Falls, shadowinginto dusky red,
I think how beautiful the night
With gathecin g stars is overspread,
Like seeds of nriziy an old delight
Through sheaves of. sorrow bafvested.

The “Civil Damage” Law Upheld
ax inronraxr DECISION BY mu occur or
APPEALS AT annsxvf
MinnLnrowx, N. Y., Nov. l2th.—The
Middletown Daily Press publishes a history
of the first “civil damage" case argued in
the Court of Appeals, which has just been.
decided, and which originated in this village .
in July, 1875. The plaintiff, Samuel Bert-
lialf, brought suit against James O’Reilly,
landlord, and Herman ,Fernhaber, tenant, to
recover $200, the value of the plaintiff’s
horse, which was driven to death by his son
while intoxicated ffom , liquor furnished _by
the defendant, Fernhaber. . The case was
tried in January, 1876, before Judge Dyk-
man with a jury. The plaintiff recovered
the full value of the horse. The defendants
appealed to the General Term, and then, to
the Court of Appeals, where the ease was
argued before the full bench, On December
5th, 1877. The mainlquestion involved was
the constitutionality of the law, especially as
to the liability of the owner of the building,
who had no connection with the sale of liquor
except to rent the building for that purpose.
The Court of Appeals has . just handed down
. its decision, affirming the judgments of the
lowei’ Courts. The deciSibn is very import-
ant, as under it all real estate in_ this State
used as places for selling intoxicating liquors
may be made liable for damage resulting
from such business. ';

Hampton and Tweed
Everybody remembers ,the, dudicious elec-
lion fraud committed in Tweed’s' district
toward the close of his reign, when at one
polling-place his over-zealous fellowcrs
stuffed more Democratic votes into. the
box than there were men, wbmeu and
children in the district. Our Washington
dispatches contain this morning the story
of frauds even more, extraordinary, com-
initted, however, not in the slums of New
York and for the benefit of a vulgar thief,
but in the chief city of South Carolina, and
for the personal and political advantage of
Wade Hampton. .
It is the victim of the fraud who tells th
story—ex~Congressman Mackey, who was
a candidate for his former seat at the late
election. His charges are not general, but
specific, and they are so serious that it
is difficult to believe that they are reckless-
ly made. The first charge alone is sufii-
cient ground for a strongpresumption of
fraud; the Democrats everywhere refused
to allow the Repulican representation among
the election ofiicers. and, in many cases,
maltreated the Federal [supervisors whose
appointment they could not prevent. With
wise forethought, too, the Legislature bad
abolished various strongly Republicans poll-
ing-places, and when the disfranchised vot-
ers offered their ballots at the nearest poll-
ing place, they were rejected—Democratic
gains, all of these. At least 2,000 colored
voters, Mr. Mackey declares, were rejected
arbitrarily—more Democratic game. It was
in the {ballot-box stuffing, however, that the
chivalry of South Carolina showed a p10-
ficiency from which the old New York
Ring might have taken a lesson. The
tickets intended to be fraudulently voted
were made one-fifth of the ordinary size,
and printed on tissue paper, thus enabling
a great number to be packed within a small
compass. Not less than 2,500 of these
were stuffed ’into one ballot-box raising
the vote to a figure which could only have
been honestly reached if one vote had been
received every five seconds for twelve
hours—an utter impossibility. When votes
were to be thrown out, the full-sized Re-
publicau ballots were easily picked out and
rejected. Although, the throwing out and
the throwing in were so energetically done
tnat, although Mr. Mackey, so he asserts,
had a majority of several thousand voters,
the Democratic majority in Charleston was
larger than the whole Democratic vote,
and in twenty out of the thirty-two polling
places there were more votes than there
were names on the lists. This was “seeing"
Tweed and going nineteen better.
,Now Mr. Mackey makes these charges
overhisown signature. If they are false
_hecan be held responsible for‘them. The
Democrats of South Carolina must meet
them. If they are not met and satisfac-
torily explained, Wade Hampton will be
held to the same responsibility that Tweed
was, for frauds committed in his interest and
in his name—Tribune.

A Swell American Hunter.
A Bismarck, D. T., letter says :—A car ar-
rived here yesterday, October 26th, that is
worth noticing. It hails from Worcester,
Massachusetts, and is the hunting palace car
of Jerome Marble. He is a wealthy gentle-
man, who has a mania for out-door sport.
For four years he has taken to the northern
Pacific country. His car this year was on
exhibition at the Centennial, and is consider-
ed a rare piece of workmanship. The fittings
of the interior are his own. Mr. Marblc's
family accompany him, with a few invited
guests. The ear is a house in itself. It has
a fine drawing-room, twenty-four feet long,
which in turn is used for dining-room an$
sleeping apartments. On the floor is a velve
carpet, with several easy chairs and rockers,
and an upright piano. The ladies amuse
themselves as in any well regulated mansion.
There is a kitchen, with all the improved
machinery of ' that important. apartment.
There is an armory and coat room. The out-
side door has a door bell, and strangers are
expected to notice it when they call. Under
the car is a large coal and ice box. The rear
platform is fenced in for kitchen buckets and
game. There is also a common ear for the
dogs, boats and other necessary articles not
proper in an elegantly appointed residence,
The proprietor has a contract with the rail—
road company that requires any train to
couple on to his cars when he signals for the
same. The partyhas’ been out since Septem-
ber 2. Ducks, chickens, geese and antelope
have been their principal conquest.

t From the Hartford Commit.
.Colleeton'l‘ibbitts, of New London, Zeditor
of the New London Telegram, brings to"
ward the name of Hon. Marshall Jewell as
' hisjchoice for United States Senator, and
urges his election “ upon grounds of party
expediency as well as public policy." Mr.
Dyington of the Norwalk Gazette, says,
“Mr."Jewcll will be ajstrong andlcading can-
didate. His ripe experience in public af-
,_fair§_and. peculiar advantages as postmaster-
general, coupled with his conceded ability
in hiISiuess man, will ensure him a very
formidable support, despite the fact that
. Htirt‘fordienjOys the honor of being the home
of One United States Senator already."
(Religious Herald.) '
The candidates for United States Senator
are being brought to the front with eager
rapidity, and there is no lack of good mate-
rial in the various sections of the state. But
we deplete the appeal to local feeling as out
of place in selecting a candidate for this
ofiice. The best man for this important
position is the man to be chosen. We think
that man is General Hawley, audit in no
way detracts from his fitness for the place,
that he has just been elected to the House
by a very significant vote, and that but for
- afgroat wrong, endured by him with mag-
nanimous devotion to the public service, he
would have. been'in the Senate before this
time. Let the legislature elect him to the
senatorship, and the district put some one in
his place as representative.
The Hon. Gilbert W. Phillips, of Putnam,
is mentioned as the candidate of Windham
county for United States Senator.
Hon. Amos S. Treat of Bridgeport, is
also named as a very suitable candidate.
The New London Telegram comes out
vigorously for Marshall Jewell for Senator,
and says General Hawley cannot be a can-
didate. ,
The Norwalk Gazette divides its affections
between ex-Governor Miner and Jewell as
senatorial candidates, and phathetically re-
grets that Marshall Jewell doesn't happen
lo live in New Haven at this particular
juncture—Palladium. .
The Oouront says that Hon Gilbert W.
Phillips of Putnani‘ is mentioned as acan-
didate for United States senator from Wind-
ham county.
About tha only, democratic gains in this
state last week were made in Windham
countv. Politics are mixed when Windham
elects more democratic representatives than
Fairfield. ‘ -
We hope the press of the state will agitate
the subject of biennial sessions of the legis-
tature. With the legislature meeting once
in two years $75,000 a year would be saved
to the state and the expense and trouble
of a November election every year would
be saved to the several towns, and the men
who participate actively in politics.—1I{eri'-
den .thublican.
The candidates for speaker of the house
from the different counties so far named
are as follow: New Haven county, Dexter
R. Wright, New Haven; Hartford county,
.H. C. Robinson, Hartford; Fairfield county,
Amos S. Treat, P. T. Barnum, Bridgeport,
Judge Brewster, Danbury, Samuel Fesseu-
den, Stamford, Vincent Colyer, Darien;
Litcbfield county, Abijah Catlin, Harwin-
ton; Tolland county, Dwight Marcy, Ver-
non.
GENERAL Harman—Nothing in the elec-
tion is more gratifying than the return of
General Joseph R. Hawley in the Hartford
district, which has been redeemed, largely
by his personal exertions, made in the
manly field of fair and open discussion.
The admirable speech with which he opened
the campaign produced an effect that was
not confined to his own district, or to his
own state. Its earnest words of wisdom
that fell upon other cars than those to which
they were immediately addressed. General
Hawley has served the cause .of good gov-
erument by his sword, by his pen and by
his voice; and we rejoice witd special joy
at his return to the public councils, where
he will prove, as he has never failed to, a
tower of strength to the right—Providence
Journal.

Bible Schools call for better
Teachers.
A missionary of the American Sunday
School Union in Missouri gives extracts of
reports made to him from superintendents of
Sunday-schools organized by him :
One writes; “Our schools is a grand
success, although illiterate preachers op-
posed it. We have had ‘preaching’ (so-
cslied) ever since the war, but our people
have learned more of truth and duty from
the Sunday-school."
Another reports: “We have had seven-
teen conversions, all from the Sunday-
school. All odd preacher said, ‘It was the
Sunday-school that made the converts. If
you can get people to come and study the
Bible, it is no trouble to get them to be.
lieve the Gospel. Your Sunday-school has
done more to impart Bible truth than all
the preaching of four years,’and we are
very grateful to you and to the American
Snnday~Scbool Union for it.’ ” The mission-
ary adds: “The people are asking for better
preachers to come among them,"
And no wonder. Bible scholars, studying
and loving God's word, are notfed with the
vapid declamations of self-moved, igorant
preachers, who know it not. Amissionary
in the mountains of Kentucky found eight
such, and bd no bible and could not read.

Tradesmcn’s risks In supplying
Wives.
In the suit of Phineas Bartlett and others
against Edmund Waring, tried before Judge
J. F. Daly in Common Pleas, Trial Term,
the jury found for the defendant' The suit
was for money, two dresses, in June and
August, 1876. In char ing the jury, Jud e
Daily laid down the ru es as to a husbau ’s
liabilities for a wife living apart from him.
A tradesman supplying her took three risks
—-first, that the articles supplied were ne-
cessary; second, that the husbands had not
supplied them; and, third, that the wife
had not obtained them elsewhere. As to
borrowed money, English cases made it very
doubtful whether it could ever be recovered
from the husband, and certainl. not .unless
in extreme circumstances—T ne.

In August, 9,495 emigrants sailed from
Liverpool, of whom 7585 cameto thisrcoun—
try, and 1,641 to British North America, but
only 68 to Austsialia, and 46 to India. Of
these 9.495, 5834 were English, 114 Scotch,
797 Irish, and 2071 from other countries
than Great Britain and Ireland. This total
is an increase of 2,229 over the number for
August of last- year.
Enfield’s Paupcrs.
The town of Enfield has adopted a course
in the care of paupers set forth in the fol-
lowing report submitted at the last town
meeting;
To help the poor is a Christian duty. The
'question is, how can they be helped most
judiciously. False charity is the great
helper of pauperism. When an‘able bodied
man prefers to receive aims rather than earn
a living, his manhood is gone. It is believ-
ed by your committc that the plan of hav-
inga book for a record of the history of
each pauper will be of great service. It is
suggested that the selectmen should have
a properly prepared blank order for neces-
saries only, and each article should be dis-
tinctly specified and the quantity named:
and that instead of coal being delivered to
paupers by the ton it should be by the
barrel only. This method would prevent
its being diverted from its proper place and
it is believed would be quite saving. Your
committee Would suggest the expediency
of having a stone yard and set the able
bodied adults males to work breaking
stones into suitable size for macadamizin‘g
the streets; and to allow a suitable sum
for the labor. We would advise that any
refusing to work should be dealt with as
the law directs. Concerning those neglect-
ing to support their dependent family, we
would suggest that the plan of giving a
pension of so much a week, month or quar-
ter, should be all necessaries, not in-
cluding luxuries such as sugar, tea and
coffee, be ordered in small quantics from
time to time as needed. And when this
expense nearly approaches the cost of
maintenance at the poor house, the parties
should be removed and made to work there
and partially earn their support. And we
would recommend that suitable places he
obtained for the children in such families
where they can be brought up to habits of
industry and morality and become self-supo
porting. We are aware that to give close
careful and thorough investigation will re-
quire for a while time and patience; but we
believe that it will be money well be spent
to pay reasonable compensation for it,
rather than have the town's charity given
in the least degree to unworthy subjects.

The Mariner’s Cautionary Signal.
The cautionary signals for shipping are
upon the coast, seabOard, or lake, and in
view of the mariner. Each is under charge
of a sergeant and assistant, whose duty may
be described as pickets of warning on the
fringe of the country. 'The observations
from the observing stations having converg-
ed upon Washington,and the general predica-
tions arrived at, the announcements radiate
from the central office—the brain-along the
wires, or nerves, to the remotest digits upon
the signal halyards.
When, as is sometimes the case, the
signal station is placed in the Life-saving
Service station, a farther advantage is gained,
as the two work well together, and the Life-
saving Service has the benefit of the wires
of the sister enterprise. '
The cautionary signal of the United States
Signal Service isa square red flag with a
black square in the centre by day; a red
light is used by night. The flags are of two
sizes-#15x15 feet and 8x8 feet, the black
square being one-ninth of the area of the flag
The larger flag is used for important stations,
about ten in number, and the smaller flag for
the other stations. ,_ o
The stations on the Atlantic are from
Maine to Texas, and on the lakes from Os-
wego to Duluth. The number of stations on
the Atlantic proper is twenty-four, counting
Key West; and on the Gulf of Mexico, six,
omitting Key West, already enumerated.
The lakes have fifteen stations. Warning no—
tices are also sent by telegraph to the Cana-
diau meteorological service when any disturb-
ance occurs which is likely to. affect them,
and is distributed to-the points interested.
The purport of the signal is this: “A wind
having a velocity of twenty-five miles an
hour may shortly be expected , in this place.”
That is all that the‘ flag professes to say;
the probable excess over twenty-five miles an
hour, and the direction of. the wind are not
given by the flag, The time may shortly ar-
rive when by an extension of the system, the
additional data, such as “severe storm ex-
pected,” may be embodied in the signal; but
at present the notice is just what it professes
to be—“cautiOuar'yJ' It is then the duty of
the mariner, shipper, or whoever else is in-
terestcd, to consult the weather report for
further information, and to make frequent
examinations of the local barometers and
other instruments, and study the local signs
of the weather.-—-E. H. Ksrour, in Harper’s
Magazine for December.
Ax AcuE or Simian—One of the most rc-
markable mines in California Gulch is in
leads three feet in thickness, the ore from
which yields from 240 to 270 ounces of silver
to the ton, and lies like a coal bank in a stra—
Iification of limestone dropping about fifteen
degrees. Tivo openings have been made at
points 600 feet apart, and sufficient ore in is
sight to make millions of the “dollars of our
daddies." The owners have gone 'far enough
to know that there is a full acre of the ore in
solid body, and some conception may be
formed of the amazing richness of this dis-
covery by a brief calculation of its dimen—
sions. Acubic foot weighs 170 pounds, and,
as the ore lies, twelve cubic feet make a ton.
There are 43, 560 square feet in an acre of
ore, being three feet in thickness, makes,
130,680 cubic feet, which, with twelve cubic
feet to the too, makes 10,900 tons, worth
$250 per ton or the enormous value in the
aggregate of $2,700,000. The Crescent is
another mine worked like a coal—bed the ore
lying horizontally in the large room that has
been opened, the roof being held up by heavy
timbers with very stout...r:aps and tugging
poles. The ore breast from a foot to three
and four feet, and occasionally very fine spe-
cimens of horn silver are found—[Rocky
Mountain Tourist.
According to Dr. _Bombairgh’s Literature
ofKi'sal'ng, we have all of7 us been at fault
in our interpretations of ‘Burns’s “Comiu
thro' the Rye.” It wasn't in coming through
the dewy grain that Jennie. draggied “a’
her petticoate" and was: kissed by her mis-
cellaneous sweethearts. :There' is near Ayr
a small, shallow stream called 'the Rye,
forded by the rustics on their way to and
from the market. It used to be the custom
of the country,when a lad met a lass midway
in the Rye, to steal a kiss from her; and
it is that custom which is commemorated in
the ballad.
03-.—
Did you ever see two women kiss each
other? It's very funny. -They slide up to
wards each other and smile a dry sort of
smile, then they both jab forward and their
lips come together with an uuctuous dryness
that has no auction, or warmth, or life about
it. How different when there is a young
.man with a moustache in the business!
Then they draw down to each other gently
but firmly, get a good solid hold with their
feet and hands, the eyes fondly, tenderly,
meltingly gaze into each other, the lips
meet first with a gentle pressure, then more
pressure, .and more, until you think their
teeth will give way, and all the time the
suction‘would discount a force pump. Oh,
there is a wonderful difference.

The Lady of Castolnore.
__.
BY 1'. B. ALDRICH. '
Bretagne had not her peer. In the Province,
far or near,
There were never such brown tressel, such
a faultless baud ; '
She had youth and she had gold, she had
jewels all untold,
And manya lover bold wooed the Lady of
the Land.
But she with queeniiest grace, bent low ber
pallid face, '
And “Woo me not, for Jesus’ sake, fair
gentleman I" she said,
If they woOed, then with a frOWn she world

She might have wed a crown to the ring.
lets on her head.
From the dizzy castle-tips, hour by hour she
watched the ships,
Like sheeted phantoms coming and going
ever more;
While the twilight settled down on the
sleepy seaport town,
On the gables, peaked and brown, that had
sheltered kings of yore.
And so oft she sat alone in the turret of gray
stone,
And looked across the moorland, so woeful,
to the sea,
That there grew a village cry, how her cheek
did lose its dye, '
As a {ship, once sailing by, faded on the
sapphire lea.
Her few walks led all one way, and all ended
at the gray '
And ragged, jagged rocks that fringe tho
lonesome beach;
There she would stand, the sweet! with the
white surf at her feet,
While above her wheeled the fleet sparrow
hawk with startling speech.
And she everloved the sea—-God’s half uttered
mystery—
._ With its million lips of shells, its never.
ceasing roar,
And ’twas well that, when she died, they
made her grave beside
The blue pulses of the tide, by the towers
of Csstclnore.
Now, one chill November morn many russet
Autumns gone,
A strange ship with folded wings lay doz-
ing of! the lea;
it had lain throughout the night with its
wings of murky white
Folded, after weary flight—the worn nest-
ling of the sea.
Crowds of peasants flocked the lands;
there were tears and clasping hands;
And a sailor from the ship stalked through
the churchyard gate. ' I
Then amid the grass that crept, fading, over
her who slept,
How be bid his face and wept, crying
“Late l alas, too late!"
And they called her cold. God knows.
Underneath the winter snows .
The invisible hearts offiowers grow ripe
for blossomingl
And the lives that look so cold, it their
stories could be told,
Would seem cast in gentler mould, would
seem full of love and spring.

It was told that Colonel Andrew M'Dowall,
when he returned from the war, was one day
walking along by The Myroch,whenho came
on an old man sitting greetin' on a muckle
stone at the roadside. When he came up.
theI old man rose and took ofi his bonnet, and

“Thank you," said the colonel; adding,
after a pause, “I should surely. know. your
face. Aren’t you Nathan M'Culloch i"
"Ye'ro richt, 'deed,” says Nathan; it’s just
me, lair-d."
“You must be a good age, now, Nathan,"
says the colonel.
"I'm no verra aul’ yet, lair-d,” was the re-
ply; “I’m just total a banner."
“A hundred!” says the colonel, musing;
“well, you must be all that. But the idea of
a man of a hundred sitting bluhbering that
way I What ever could you get to cry
about ?”
“It was my father lashed, me, Sir," said
Nathan, blubbcring again; “an’ be put me
act, so he did.”
“Your father 1” said the colonel; “is your
father alive yet i’" '
“Leevin’l ay," replied Nathan; “ I ken
that the day too my sorrow."
“Where is he ?" says the colonel. “What
an age he must be! I would like to see him."
“0h, he's up in the barn there,” says Na-
than; “an’ no in a horrid gude humor the
noo, aither."
They went up to the barn together, and
fouiid the father busy threshing the barley
with the big dull and tearing on fearful.
Seeing Nathan and the laird coming in,'he
stopped and saluted the colonel, who, after
inquiring how he was,asked him what he had
struck Nathan for i .
“The young rascal!" says the father.
“there’s nae doin’ wi' him; he's never oot o’
mischief. I had toe lick him (Jule mornin'

A comparison of its increase in votes with

LoOlive Logan writes a lot of gossip from
ndon. She says that the marriage of Han-s
nah do Rothschild and Earl Rosebery is very
unhappy and a divorce impends ;, that the
beautiful Mrs. Iangstry and er husband are
only kept from separating by a royal request
to “make up"; and that the marriag' e of

halts only for lack of money.
