BY THE SEA.
Backward and forward, under tho moon,
Swings the tide, in its old-time way ;
Never too late, and never too soon ;
And evening and morning make the day.
Backward and forward, over the sands,
And over the rocks, to full and flow ;
And this tveve has touched a dead man'":
hands,
And that one has seen a face we know.
They have speed the good ship on her vay,
Or buried her deep from love and light ;
Cut here, as they sink at our feet to-day,
Ah, who shall distinguish their voices
aright ?
For their separate burdens of hope an-1 fear
Are blended now in cne solemn tone;
And only this song of the waves I hear,
" Forever and ever Iiis will is done."
Backward ard forward, to and fro,
Swings our life in its weary vray ;
Now at its ebb, and new at its fow ;
And evening and morning make the day.
Sorrow and comfort, peace and strife,
Fain and rejoicing, its moments know;
How, from the discords of such a life,
Shall the clear sweet music fiov? !
Yot to the car of God it swells,
And to the blessed round the throne
Sweeter than chimes of vesper bells,
" Forever and ever His will is done."

From the Iowa Coppevhoad.
The follovring, from 31 r. John
son's speech in response to a sere
nade in Washington City, is lively
reading :
It was not necessary to turn at
tention to the oilier end of the av
enue cries of hear, hear not
was it necessary to do more than
to point to the tyrannical body
called Congress, which attempted
to absorb every single power of
the President. lie had called them
" tyrants standing with the mfrrlcd
heel of power on all the necks of
the freemen of the United States,"
endeavoring to blot ont the lines
which separated the State, to wipe
out the other two eo-ordinatc
branches of the Government, and
in this Congress stood omnipotent.
'SI tell you here, my countrymen,"
he said, " that if I were compelled
to make a choice (and thank God
T am not so compelled as yet), I
would take one individual who
was honest, wise, patriotic, and
jits., as my ruler or master, in
preference to a congress so usurp
ing, capricious and corrupt. A
voice :. " that's so," and applause.
Let us talk about those things as
they are. v e even hnd a differ
ence among them as to whether
tliey would take such a govern
ment as an omnipotent congress
would impose, or an imperial gov
ernment. Such feelers have been
sent out. They wish to develop
what sentiment there is in the
country. Take a paper especially
in New York, in which, no doubt
is the emanation and reflection of
a certain combination of individu
als some of them, perhaps, residing
in Washington ;aud when we turn
to the title page what do Ave see ?"
On one side, " The empire is
peace 7" and on the other side the
quotation us have peace!"
Laughter. The meaning of this
is, "Let us have the empire with
Grant at its head and we shall have
peace." Laughter and applause.
J-Jr.t you find lurking behind this a
debt of twenty-five or twenty-eight
hundred millions of dollars. Thr
irreat fear is that the people are not
to be trusted, and will not pay it ;
and hence we must have a strong
government with an army at our
backs, and when the people be
come restive as to the payment of
taxes, they are to be compelled to
do so' at the point of the bayonet.
I know what I say, and, not to bo
egotistical, I know what is being
prepared for the American people.
We find the single item of one hun
dred and fifty millions to be col
lected for payment of interest on
the bonds, and what is it? Inter
est to be paid in one-half year's
time.. You run your hands in
your pockets and' pull out some
thing so dim and worn that you
cannot tell what it is. Jut see
what it calls for 011 its .face, as
com .area with the currency of tho
v"ovl.h As admitted by both
Christian and barbarous nations
we find this paper to be thirty or
forty cents below par. But what
about the men who have so many
in bonds? I must tell
story. It has been so long
. .,1" ji, , t . .
, u. ui mc people m my SCC
tion saw a five, two-and-n-h.nlf. or
ten or twenty dollar gold piece,
that I made it a special point to
carry home Yv-ith mc a few pieces
m order that they might Fee them.
It had been stated irTa paper that
in a conversation I had remarked
to somebody that " no nation had
ever yet paid a national debt
created in war except by repudia
tion." If I stated a fact, is there
harm in it ? Cries cf " No, no."
What political economist dare
deny the proposition. I also ?tate
there is not a nation on earth that
made a debt interminable or -permanent
that is free. Is there any
harm in stating such facts and
great truths ? f Ri--'mrvn
o.
no." Then how does the matter
stand? Because I have uttered
truths which cannot be controvert
ed, it is said I favor repudiation.
But go to Congress. What lias
it done? , You will fee that in the
inaugural address it h stated that
if any body is in favor of repudia
tion to the extent of a single farth
ing he cannot hold anofiice under
the government. Lang iter. But
when you go to this congress, so
conscious were they of the great
fraud practiced in various atrocious
ways, they came forward and pro
posed to repudiate one-third of tho
whole debt. u It is nominated in
the bond" to say six per cent., and
yet congress, in the rice of this
solemn contract, proposed to re
duce it to five, four and three per
cent. But this interest is to he
paid in gold and silver. Go tot tie
Department, .A man comes in with
coupons, and at one counter gets
gold and silver for them ; another
man comes in and goes to another
counter with claims for some v'ridow
or orphans of him who fell in the
country's cause who was buried
with no winding sheet around his
body but the blanket stained with
his blood and this man acting
for the widow or orphans is I land
ed depreciated pnper, while the
bondholder receives gold and sil
ver. When the rebellion com
menced, I was one of those who
opposed it. My property was im
perilled. . I raised thiity-sevcn
thousand men for the struggle. I
am out of ollice now, and ask for
no place, therefore I can talk plain
on inc subjcec ine war com
menced and was called on our part,
as was solemnly declared in con
gress, for the purpose of p reserv
ing the Union and restoring the
States to their proper relations.
The rebellion progressed, and what
was the effect ? There was an in
stitution in the South to which
there was great prejudice. It was
estimated, when considered in its
character and shape as property,
to be wortli thousand millions of
dollars. I was no advocate of
slavery. The negro walked oil',
and just as this property disap
peared in one section, it appeared
in the shape of government- 'locks
and bonds fit the other end of the
line, instead of existing in an insti
tution which wns productive to the
nation and the world. I can tell
you vrhere it is. Go look into the
vaults and see tho great stacks of
Government bonds. Ilo-y many
fields does it plow ? How many
ships docs it build? How much
wealth does it add to the nation ?
Can anybody tell me? A voice
"None." It t lie re remains cor
roding and eatiug out the govern
ment vitals. The query comes up
Are the American people going
to tolerate these things ? Instead
ot such a vast amount of credit
and capital being locked up in the
strong boxes it should lie forced
out of the hands of t lie bondhold
ers and forced to seeking invest
ments in suc-hn eterpris.es as would
add to the wealth of the country
in the development of its resources
and in works of public improve
ment. After thither remarking on
this and kindred suhjects, he said:
We once had a Washington in
this country, and thank (rod for it.
Applause. I have heard it said
we have a second Washington. A
voice: "Wo have him yet." I
should like to look at hi fa Ap
plause and laughter I should like
to sec what kind of an animnl he
is, I suspect the second Washing
ton is about as much like the ir-
Washington as let me illustrate !
You remember the old story of
tho prank, or satire, that Diogenes
practiced on Plato, who was very
learned, and who instructed the
young men in the academy, and
defmed man to be an animal with'
two legs and without feathers.
Diogcnese, who was a cynic and
full of satire, concluded he would
ridicule the idea out of existence,
and therefore he would catch a
goose and strip it of its plumage
and hang it by the head, and as
tin; students were turned out lie
pointed at the goose with the
feathers stripped oil, saying, "This
is Plato's, mar?' Applause and
general laughter, with cries of
'good" "you're right on tho
goose." I think the comparison
near about complete. Carrying
out the idea, Washington was in
augurated on the 13 th of April,
lie referred in his speech to con
gress to his great want of experi
ence and his diffidence in assuming
a responsibility so great ; and also
spoke of the importance of private
morals as the foundation of public
virtue. Applause. He further
more remarked that in sustaining
the Executive Department no
more money .should be appropriat
ed than was barely sufficient to
defray tho expenses. He an
s-
preached the Presidency almost
with awe and trembling.
He did
not say
' I feel the responsibility.
but I accent the offer
without
fear." That is your second Wash
ington. Laughter. That I have
not seen your second Washington
vet. Imagine Washington sitting
at the Council Board, looking at
the Secretary of the Treasury, and
saying; " Pve got your draft for
vG5,000,' and seeking for a. book
from which to derive a little infor
mation, saying to the Secretary of
tho Navy ; "I've got your library
at a cost of Ai5,0u0." Then look
around at the furniture, houses and
lots. How would Washington
have sat in the Cabinet meeting
surrounded by such men as these ?
Laughter, and cries of "good."

a 'proaoii-
ing the point wdu n your govern

tary dictator here and a military
dictator there. If we go on at this
rate every little military man who
can claim a battle, will seek to be
made a dictator, and rule the na
tion. But the character of an
American citizen is above all other
characters. In my mind, wc have
high and noble duties to perform.
Let us not falter; this mighty na
tion is determined to preserve its
unity. Bodies of men and muni
tions of war started in a certain
direction. Those columns never
turned until they conquered. And
because some little fellow walked

lowed the army for the purpose of
narrating events, they conducted
the army operations. A voice:

I'GSITIOr." IN SLEEPING.
It is better to go to sleep on the
right side, for then, says Dr. Hall's
Journal of Jlcaltli, the stomach is
very much in the position of a bot
tle turned upside down, and the
contents of it are aided in passing
out by gravitation.
If one goes .to sleep on the left
side tho operation of emptying the
stomach of its contents is more like
drawing from a well. After going
to sleen let tho body take its own

SITKA.
FTcra the Alaska Times, June 25th, 1BCX
Sitka, formerly known as New
Archangel, is the principal city in
Alaska. Heretofore but little was
known of it, prior to its occupation
by the Americans. It was formerly
the headquarters, cf the Russian
American Fur Company. It is in
latitude 57 c 2' 45" north, long.
135 0 17' 10" west.
The harbor of Sitka is safe and
commodious, and except on rare
occasions as smooth as a mill pond.
The wharf, which has been in use a
long time, is getting dilapidated
needs repairing ycry much. There
is ample material, and room to build
an excellent wharf, so as to allow
vessels coming to this port to come
alongside and discharge their car
goes. Near the wharf is the bat
tery, very different in appearance
and material from what it was in
the hands cf late owners the Rus
sians. The same may be said of
the garrison, the quarters do not
look the same, having undergone
the most improved system of trans
formation. The General's house is a source
of marked observation. It can be
seen many miles out at sea before
entering our harbor. It is built 'on
a rocky eminence. 80 fe-ot above the.
level of our harbor. It commands
a fine view of all the approaches
by land and water, and is a very
commodious building. It was orig
inally built for the accemmodation
of the Russian governor and no
expense- was spared to make it a
princely habitation. The Custom
House is also a fine building, and
in its immediate vicinity there are
several warehouses, and some com
modious stores, several of them do
ing a large and profitable business.
The Greek Church,with its dome
and spire of Oriental styla, is a
beautiful structure, and attracts
considerable attention from strang
ers arriving here for the first time.
The military hospital is a large and
roomy building, and like many of
the other Russian houses, has an
iron-slieeted roof.
3Iany new buildings are in pro
cess of erection. Roads and side
walks are daily being made, and
industry and enterprise see-in visi
ble all over our city, notwithstand
ing the dull times which dxist hero
at present.
The citizens have formed a civil
government, hold elections, collect
taxes, and seem to give general sat
isfaction. Nominally a civil gov
ernment, because the military law
rules the territory.. The command
ing general seldom interferes except
solicited. This civil law saves him
a vast amount cf trouble and time
which he can devote to the manage
ment of his department. There
are at present three schools in this
city one American and two Rus
sian, and they are well attended.
A newspaper has been started a
dew months, winch is well patron
ized, not omy m Alaska, but all
over this coast, and has many sub
scribers in the Atlant ic States. The
Lutheran denomination have a
church here, but it is at present oc
cupied by the post chaplain, Rev.
Mr. Ray nor.
The Masonic fraternity have a
Lodge, and a large membership.
TIi ere are two breweries in opera
tion, doing a good business. The
parade ground is beautifully graded
and in front of it many officers arc
provided with neat and convenient
quarters.
Tito " galoshes," as the Sitki In
dians are called, inhabit the coast
between the Stekinc and Chilcat
country. During the summer large
numbers of them leave here and do
not return until the approach of
winter. There arc about 1,000 of
them at present in Sitka. They
dwell in a continroi-s line of rude
houses outside tire stockade.

It is seldom, indeed, that we aro
called upon to chronicle a caso liko
the following, wherein appears all
" the ingredients of a sensational
article." Everything of this class
is arid ever wall be, entirely eschew
eel by the eelitors of this journal.
The manufacturing of romance, and
"exciting scenes" has become alto
gether too common among the re
portorial corps of our new North
west. There arrived in Omajia, on last
Wednesday, 3Ir. Wm. F. Petit, and.
his family, from Owatonna, Minn.,
ai route to Santiago, in Southern
California. His daughter, Lizzie
Petit, was accompanied by her af
fectionate lover, 3Ir. Crosby WThoo
let, a young man w ho in childhood
had been her playmate, and in man
hood her constant companion. ;
During the transfer of passengers
from the eastern to, the western de
pot, the young couple were placed
in one omnibus, while the family
were all transported in another.
The conveyance containing the hap
py pair accidentally broke down
wdiile on its way to. tho Union Pa
cific depot. The result was, the
separation of Mr. Petit and family
from his daughter and her lover.
The latter having been left in Oma
ha. Yfhooiot at once - escorted Miss
P. to the Morrison House, and se
cured rooms for both. The day was
passed in visiting the different
points of attraction in our beauti
ful city, but w hen night came the
young" main sallied forth from tho
hotel to " see the elephant," since
vheii he litis not been heard from. .
He had in his possession the ticket
and checks for baggage belonging
to his "to-be bride," and about 500
dollars in money. The young laely
becoming alarmed at'Jiis protracted -absence,
yesterday sent for the
Marshal and had a search institut
ed for his whereabouts. A detect
ive reports having seen him in a
keno bank at a late hour Wednes
day night, and it isfpossible that
the. young man has met with foul
play, but the general impression is
that he must have lost his little
worldly store of greenbacks, and '
either left the city in a state of
distraction, or, having been lucky
in his gambling scheme, was in
veigled to some secluded spot and
he met with foul play.
The former theory is more prob-.
able than the latter 5 but, be it as
it may, detectives are at work,look
ing up the case. Her father has al
readyr been telegraphed to,and will
either return, or send his daughter
money to pay her way to' tho Gold

The Corinno Heporter
states that Wm. Alexander and D. .
Ilyrum, sons of Joseph Smith,havo
arrived in Salt Lake city, bound -on
a vigorus crusade against polyg-
amy. On their arrival they called .
on Brigham and solicited pcrmis- -sion
to defend their faith in tho
tabernacle. . As might have been ..
expecteel, Brigham refused pcremp-.
torily, and gave orders to tho Bish
ops to exclude the brothers from tho
ward meeting-houses. But theso
young reformers do not intend to
be brow-beaten, and announce their
determination to "fight it out on
that line." The Gentiles of courso
will help them, and Brigham lias .
more cause to make concessions .
than even had the Emperor of the.
French. Brigham's crown rests un
easy on his cabesa. -

our great country we hold all cli-.

men of hard worked brains diesud-.

liver, usually deranged early, keeps
men ill, billions and long-lived. In.
California, in Nevada, on the Pa- -cific
coast, a wondrous atmosphere .
sustains even those who live fast in
the highest health, till at a given,
age they die almost without warn-.,
ing. Here and there men watch
their neighbors go, and silently
count who will be called the no.
