Inscribed to J. II. Roffman, on tuj oc.
casionofthe receipt of a dispatch, from
Pennsylvania, announcing the death of his
mother.
Click, click, click,
Over the cold magnetic wire,
From the home where my infant feet,
brewiiiif hastened with joy to greet,
loving kiss and fond embrace,
Came the me&sage with lightning pace :
Mother's dead.
Throb, throb, throb,
Like the notes of a funeral knell,
PuUing, pulsing with measured time,
Over the wired inetnlic line,
Till on my soul the tidings fell,
Like the thimt of a poisoner! dart,
Freezing the blood within my heart;
Mother's dead.
Gone, gone, gone,
And can it be that nevermore,
Beside the dear old fireside bright,
I shall bask in the sunny light
Of her sweet smile nor, as of yore
List to her voice, in accents mild
And hear her say again "my child'"?
Mother's dead.
Long, long, long.
Have my waywanl footsteps trotl
Divergent paths from homeward way,
Still at the clo-seof each toilsome day,
Thoughts of mother home and God,
Curried me back to childhood's hour,
Ere I had felt the crushing power;
Mother's dead.
Hark, hark, hark,
I hear the soft rustle of wings.
Faith beckons me on with a smile;
Bright hope all my senses beguile.
And a feeling of cestacy springs
To my heart. Beyond the dark vale,
I see the white folds of a sail ;
Mothers dead.

Jacksonville Sept. 1879.
L1MOLVS IM.W;l ITIO.Y.
In Ills letter declining an invitation
to attend the Illinois Republican Con
. eh w. on j.. iuvo, Lincoln maac use of
two striking figures. Reviewing the
military events of the past year which
had been favorable to the cause of the
Union, ho said: "The Father of Wa
ters again goes unvexed to the sea."
And referring to the fact that South
ern Unionists and ex-slaves had done
something to help on the good work,
he said: "On the sjiot, their part of
the history is dotted down in black
and white." There was something in
the phrase "dotted in black and white"
which mightily tickled the public fan
cy. At the time, however, criticism
was evoked by thisodd figure employed
by the President. "Nor must Uncle
Sam's web-feet bo forgotten. AH the
watery margins they have been pres
ent, not only on the deep sea, the
broad bay, the rapid river, but also up
the narrow, muddy bayors, and wher
ever the ground was a little damp they
have been and made their tracks." He
explained that the remarkable feats
performed by the gunboats in making
their way through sloughs and bayous,
heretofore considered unnavigable, re
minded him of the steady passage of
water-fowl. The pleasantry about
light-draught steamers going whpre the
ground is a little damp, is familiar to
everybody.
It will boa long time before our
people will forget Lincoln's homely
smile of "elder squirts charged with
rose water," asupplietl to tho conserva
tive programme for prosecuting the
war. This was used in a letter ad
dressed to Cuthbert Cullitt, of New
Orleans, in whieh letter he also said
that the conservatives were like com
plaining passengers on a ship "The
mutineers must go untouched, lest one
of these sacred passengers should re
ceive an accidental wound." His legis
lation was powerfully stimulated by
any reference to the history of the
public. His address of Gettysburg,
now one of tho greatest historical
sjieechesof the country, suggests, ratli
pr than expresses, a crowd of image'.
To Lincoln's mind, apjurently, Ameri
can lmtory was filled with noble and
thetic figures. In some of the loftiei
flights of his eloquence may be found
traces of a strong poetic fancy an im
agination fired by love of country and
inspired by the cont'mplat:Vi of the
stirring events that have marken its
history. No more striking examplo of
this can be found anywhere than in
the memorable, words of his first in
augural address: "The mystic chords
of memory, stretching from every bat
tle field and triotic grave to every
living heart and hearthstone all over
this broad land, will yet swell the
chorus of the Union, when again
touched, as they sj
WU.1T Till! E.1CUSII r.U-EKS SAY.
The London "Times" discussing tho
reported impending circular from tltr
Unitetl States on Mormon immigra
tion, says: "The suggestion that Eu
ropean Governments should exert their
influence to prevent continued acce
sions of deluded adherents to iSIbrmou
ism is easily made, but as soon as v.o
difficulties which would apparentlyii!'
pede its adoption. No European Go
ernment can be otherwise; than desfr
ons that gross superstition should I.o
speedily dissipated But we do nol
any way to direct interference, thoug!
iMigration Commissioners might distrlt
ute tracts at outposts. .Pnrthermorp,
if the United States should determine
to forbid tho landing of any Mormon
proselytes, it would be necessary for
them to declare the profession of 3Ior
monism to bo an offense in itself, anil
to institute a kind of inquisition into'
the religious opinions of immigrants.
It is scarcely conceivable that legiila
tion should go this length. Yet such
measures would alone be efficacious.
Whatever may be done by Congress-,
the British Parliament would never
give executive power to interfere with
Mormon emigrants. When the sug
gestions of the United States are before
us in detail, they may modify th inx
pression produced by the telegram.
At present we see many difficulties,
and owners of transatlantic lines may
suggest others, as their obligations as
public carriers may constrain them to
take all passengers who ofTer them
selves. United States Geological Survet
or. Prof. Cope, cf the U. S. Geologi
cal survey, who was in town a couple
of days last week, examined the ay
. t i. . t
nets of Dr. Hearn and Dr. Ream, auJ
took ofTsome 25 or 30 lbs. of specimen!
from tho latter, including a piece of
sand stone found near Cole's having a.
star formation in it. His great desiro
wns to secure a piece of sand stone, or
marble, containing the remnant of a
fish, similar to that in a piece of sand
stone now in possession of Dan TesL
of this place, which was sen, to hie-
from Green River, in Wyoming. Mr
Copo is desirous of knowing whether
fish of any kin, oven shell or craw-fishr
can he found in the sand stone quarry
ltet'veen here and Shasta river, claim
ing that such discovery would be highly
lieneficial to scientific explorations, and
develope a chain of geological surveys
from Montana. Mr. E. Dudley, who
takes out a good deal of this stone for
building purposes, promised to watch
for the fish he desired or any existence
of water inhabitants, while taking rut
stone in the future, and from the man
ner of his talk, supposed he desired to
find a subterranean passage, or else the
course of an old channel running across
this section. He also said the gold
mine of Richardson at Willow creek,
was a good indication of what he was
endenyoring to discover, and took some
specimens of the coal with him to ex
amine. He boke well of the coal
mine, and said the owner had not gone
down deep enough yet to secure super
ior coal. Cope went over to tho Pacific,
mine) on Klamath river to make obser
vations, and said it was a wild looking
country, but contained no rock suitable
to his purpose, although he found sev
eral fossils which he took with him.
Owing to an ongagement to meet the
rest of his party in Oregon, he was pre
vented from making any thorough ex
amination, but intends coming here
again at a future day. He has a cou
ple of men at work in Oregon diggings'
for fossils, and some time ago had a
couplo of tons of bones of animals from'
Silver Lake, only one specimen of
which being of any use to him, all tho
rest being of one kind. In sjeaking of
coal mines, he said coal was the forma
tion of dead vegetation, and taking tho
sand stone quarry and coal mine cf
Shasta Valley, north of this place, as.
landmarks, there was much to be de
rived in geological information by a
thorough exploration, which will un
doubtedly be made whenever tho exist
ence of any kind of petrified fish can
be discovered in the sand stone of this
viciuity, which Mr. Cope says some
one' below showed him a sample, claim
ed to have been found in this vicinity
a great many years ago, and which must
have been discovered by immigrants
before this place was settled up 1
tthtle people. "Yreka .lonrnal."
