flu? J?ilij jjfw&. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26^ 1867. A NEW POEM B'tf OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. The March number of the Atlantic Monthly has the following poem by OLIVES WENDELL HOLMES. ALL HEBE.-182?MS07 It is not what wo Bay or sing That Beeps our charm so lo-g unbroken, Though every lightest leaf we bring May touch the heart as friendship's token; Not what we sing or what we say Can make us dearer each to other We love the singer and his lay. But love as well the silent brother. Yet bring whate'er your garden grows, Thrice welcome to ouremiles and praises ; Thanks for the myrtle and the rose. Thanes for the marigolds and daisies : One flower ere long we all shall claim, Alas! uhlovf-d of Amaryllis Nature's last blossom-need 1 name The wreath of three-score's silver lilies ! How many, brothers, meet to-night Around our boyhood's covered embers ? Go read the treasured names aright The old triennial list remembers : Though twenty wear the starry sign That tells a Ufe has broke its tether, The fifty-eight of 'twenty-nine God bless the boys t-are all together 1 These come with joyous look and word, With friendly grasp and cheerful greeting Those smile unseen, and move unheard, The angel guests of every meeting : They cast no shadow in the flame That flushes from the gilded lustre, But count us-ve are still the same ; One earthly band, one heavenly cluster 1 Love dies not when he bows his head To pass beyond the narrow portals The light these glowing moments shed Wakes from their sleep our lost immortals ; They come as in their joyous prime, Before their morning days were numbered Death stays the envious hand of Time The eyes have not grown dim that slumbered 1 -The paths that loving souls have trod Arch o'er the dust where worldlings grovel, Sigh aa the zenith o'er the sod The cross above tho saxton's shovel I We rise beyond the realms of day. They seem to stoop from spheres of glory With ns one happy hour to stay, While youth comes back in song and story. Ah I ours is friendship true as steel Tnat war has tried in edge and temper : It writes upon Its sacred seal Thc priest's ubique-omnes semper t . it lends the sky a fairer sun That cheers ourlivos with rays as steady As if our footsteps had begun To print the golden streets already ! The tangling years have clenched its knot Too fast for mortal strength to sunder The lightning bolts of noon are shot N o fear of evening's idle thunder 1 . Too latel too late I-no graceless hand fOinn stretch its cords in vain endeavor To rive the close encircling band . That ruade and keeps us one forever. So when upon the fated scroll The falling stars have all descended, And, blotted from the breathing rou, . i Our little page of life ia ended, - Wc ask hut one memorial Une Traced on thy tablet, Gracious Mother : ??My ?biMran. Boys of 'twenty-nine, Inpact. How they loved each other I " SOME OP THE RESULTS OP THE MILI? TARY BILL. The Richmond Whig, in publishing the follow? ing article on the New Reconstruction Bill, intro? duces it thus : From the time che Bill shall become a law, either by the approval of the President or ita repassage by a two-thirds vote, and if not declared null and void by the Supreme Court, male negroes, twenty one years of age, who have been resident in the State one year, w?l be entitled to vote " in all elec? tions to any office-ander the provisional govern? ments" created by the act. The act excludes .no one from serving as a mem? ber of the Legislature.. The language is, "No per? son shall be a Senator or Representative in Con? gress, or elector of President and Yice-President, or hold Oliy office, civil or military, under the Unit? ed States, or under any State, who," <tc. Member? ship .of the Legislature is not an "office." The following persons are disqualified from serving as members of the proposed State Con? tention, ur voting in the election of the same, viz.: a?Confederates who had ever taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United States as a member of Congres, or as au officer of the United States, Or as a member of any State Legislature, or asan executive or judicial officer of any State. This includes, besides members of Congress and of State legislatures, postmasters,, collectors of customs, .officers of the United States army and navy, judges and magistrates, and ex-governors. It does' hot include lawyers, clerks, sheriffs, con? stables, commissioners in chancery, commission? ers of revenue, tax assessors, surveyors, m?itia officers, sergeants, members of councils, and perhaps oth?rs who have taken the oath-for these are either not officers at au, or are merely min-, isterial" officers, not embraced in the term ''ex? ecutive or judicial." They are therefore neither disfranchised nor rendered ineligible to office. In respect to other and stol graver matters, we substitute for any reflections of our own the re? marks of the National Intelligencer of yesterday : The preamble, though not having the force of express provisions of the bill, may, by the use of the words, "no loyal State Governments exist in," in connection with the usc of the words, "rebel States," throughout the bill, cause serious difficul? ties in litigation as to rights of property aris? ing during the rebellion and since its close, un? less, indeed, ??r. 8hellabarger'B amendment estab if3?fiug~?b:e present provincial governments sholl be illegally construed as acting backward through that long period. The bill is destructive, because it wholly im? pairs the sovereign character of State govern? ments, under the Constitution, by assuming the po wer. of Congress, at will, to legislate away all their acts. . It overrides and absolutely destroys State author? ity m the matter of suffrage and the eligibihtv of persons to hold office. This is done by direct leg? islation of Congress in the bill. It destroys the present State governments, in So far as officials are concerned. I * It is destructive to the present right of suffrage by vast numbera of citizens, under the Constitu? tion, in giving immediate force and effect to the prohibition in the fifth section, that persons inhib? ited from holding office by the Constitutional Amendment shall not vote at elections under the "Provisional Government," so-called. If it.be. held that this diabolical invention of proscriptiveness does not so apply to State officials as to drive them from their offices, it certainly ap? plies to them and to electors in future elections or appointments in States. In a word, Congress has stepped across State barriers, and given express direction, in form of law, that .in all elections in the ten Statermow excluded from representation in Congress, no man ahab hold office or vote who is excluded by the proposed constitutional amend? ment. It is well known that these include the best men in every State. The bib ls destructive in its military character, as has been so ably- shown by the articles from the Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.), published in tho Intelligencer yesterday.'- We quote paragraphs : The third section of the bill leaves all recog? nition of the local courts and authorities entirely at the discretion of the Brigadier-Hen eral com? manding, the district, and makes it his duty, be? sides suppressing insurrection, "to protect all persons m their rights of person and property," and "to punish all disturbers of the public peace, and criminals:'' in other words, he shall have un? limited power, both judicial and executive, and ab? solute Jurisdiction over all sorts of causes, both civil and criminal. If he choose to set aside all local governments and courts (as under this law he may), he and his subordinates will try every drunken rowdy who should gb before a police court, as well as every one charged with theft, burglary or murder; they will try, also, every civil cause, from an action in replevin to a divorce, for a? "rights of person and property" they are to protect The wfiole elaborate machinery "bf a gov? ernment, executive and judicial, and for that mat? ter legislative also, is thus concentrated in the hands of the Brigadier commanding. IB there not, however, some power of revision or right of appeal? There surely must at least be some provision for recording and publishing the decrees relative to property, and accounting for the moneys which may pass into his hands. Not a bit of it I There are provisions that "aU interfer? ence by said pretended State govrrnments" shaU be void. Whatever is done is left purely and abso? lutely in the commandant's discretion. He is not bound to report his decision to any one, but may sit, as Saint Louis, of France, used to, nuder a tree by the roadside and administer primitive jus? tice to whoever comes, mth or without '"money or price." The whole property of a State will be at his discretion; and if he becomes rich, he may sav, as Warren Hastings did of his wealth amassed in India, that he is amazed that he did not become richer, since all the treasures or the country were at his feet. The utmost protection for propeity is the dis? cretion of any boy with the commission of second lieutenant wno may be sent with a squad of men into any country. In estimating tue probable usefulness of any effort to appeal either to thc President or General Grant, or to any tribunal or body whatever, we must not forget that the terrors of a mUitary commission are before the eves ofanv one who may make such effort, and tho" attempt itself may be made a crime for which ho must suf? fer. Tho bill says "cruel and unusual punish? ments" shall not be inflicted, as if that would pro? tect any one without definition of what shall be re? garded cruel or unusual for a mUitary commission or proriding for some appeal which the accused may not make in vain. The guillotines of France did not drip with blood because the acts passed by the National Assembly we e cruel in their terms, but because they established irrcsoonsible tribu? nals with unlimited powers; but none, not even the Committee of Public Safety, was so irresponsible or so powerful as this dictatorship which we pro? pose to install over one-thire ox the American na? tion. The Intelligencer then proceeds: Law should be fixed and determined, but this act may be so construed as to justify further pro? scription of the people in respect to the exercise of the right of sufirage, to suit the temporary expe? dients of party. We refer to that remarkable clause in the act which is in these words: " Except such as may be disfranchised by participating in rebe1 *i(But the bill proposes to nullify the proposed con? stitutional amendment itself. For ii the latter be now adopted or is to be adopted, then it is the law to tho States now excluded from representation in Congress, and tho citizens of sucii Slates aro en? titled to tho benefits of its provisions, as express? ly intendod for application to them. The articlo dod ires : "All persons born or naturalized in thc Unitod States, and subject to tho jurisdiction thereof, aro citizens of tho United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or en? force any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction tho equal pro? tection of thc law." It being now assumed by tho leading Radicals that thc above provision is part and parcel of tho Constitution, as it certainly will bc if some South? ern States adopt it, rights accrue under it that cannot be impaired, directly or indirectly, by acts of Congress which conflict with it. For instance, the section quoted absolutely inhibits what this law permits, and guarantees what this law denies. If tho bill was brought up for decision before tho Supremo Court, who does not suppose that a ? lull bench would declare its unconstitutionality in I loto ? What true statesman or eminent jurist, anywhere in the broad hnd. woidd not so declare? SKETCHING WITH A FKEB HAND.-Tho following is an extract from a racy description of Senator WADE, written by "Mack," of the Cincinnati Com? mercial : Wade is a man not given, I should imagine, to eloso study or diligent reading, but his intuitions make up for his deficiency in this respect; they come to his relief always, and often servo a better purposo than tho bookishness of other men. Sher? man is a man of close application, a student by habit and inclination; and although ho may havo all of Wade's faculty for extemporaneous debate or action, he lacks Belf-confidenco to exorciso it. Neither of thc Ohio Senators can be called finished orators, or orators of any kind in the strict moan? ing of the word, But Sherman is a good rhetorician and a fair reasoner. Wade speaks sometimes with more force and effect than his colleague; ho relies loss on tho force of what he says than in the vim with which ho says it. A strictly Ben. Wade speech would bo a weary, stale, flat and unprofit? able effort from the tongue of almost anybody else. It is like tho bow of Ulvsses, which could bo mold? ed nffectively only by the strong arm of its owner, and was but a cumbrous and ponderous load un? der any other. It is for this reason that to bo in? fluenced by what he says you must hear him, and seo him, too. You must see tho old fellow get np in a tit of passion, kick his chair away to make play-room for himself, put one hand under the breast of his waiscoat; and you must hear him chango his voice from a talk to a scold and from a scold to a roor. This is not oratory, nor rhetoric, nor declamation, but is something that carries its point in thc Senate better than either. Li the old pro-slavery days when Wade and John P. Hale and Sumner were about the only abolitionists in the Senate, the Southerners feared tho unpolished de? nunciation of Wade moro than tho scholarly in? vectivo of Sumner. I havo been told by Mr. Sum? ner that on ono occasion while Wade waa speaking, Mason, of Virginia, touched him (Sumner) on tho shoulder, and; in a tono of positive fright, said : "My God, see that man prance I" On another oc? casion, some one, Wigfall, I believe, told one of Iiis Southern colleagues that he meant to reply to one of Ben's speeches. "Oh, for Heaven's sake, don't-don't touso the old fellow. We've got him quiet now, and bettor let him alone." THE CiiMATE OF MINNESOTA.-The climate of Minnesota is described by ono who has enjoyed it for many years, in substance as follows : In Jan? uary the thermometer oscillates about zero, though it is oftener above than below it. Most years there is about a week of excessively cold weather, when the mercury falls to thirty or forty degrees. Feb? ruary usually contains a few very cold days. March is about the same in its general characteristics os in New England.. It is the month of maple sugar. April is given up to plowing and sowing. Corn is usually planted by the 15th of May. The woathor begins to get worm, the mercury often rising to eighty and even riinety degrees in the shade. June and July arc very hot months. Li June every? thing grows with startling rapidity. July has de? liciously cool nights. August is a delightful month, as cool breezes are prevalent, and a cold storm is not unknown. September is generally honored with a Blight touch of frost. October is tho most enjoyable month of the year. It is usually ushered in by a heavy frost, which is not repeated for ten or twelve days. November and December are marked by a steady falling of tho thermometer. Between October and March rain is a great rarity. During the Bummer months it is very frequent, and heavy dews fall. Snow is never deeper than two feet on a level. Sleighing lasts every year for two months. Death of Professor Bache. We regret to learn of the demise in Newport, R. I., of Alexander Dallas Bacho, LL. D., a. groat grandson of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, the renown? ed philosopher, statesman, and revolutionary pa? triot. His grandfather, Richard Bacho, born in England, emigrated to the United States, and mar? ried the daughter of Dr. Franklin. He succeeded the Doctor as Postmaster-General of the United States in 1776, and died in 1811, aged 75. His son, Benjamin Franklin Bacho, was the editor of' the celebrated Aurora, an opposition papor, during the administrations of Washington and Adams. Alexander Dallas Bache, and his brother, Franklin Bache, hardly less eminent as' a man of science, have in a striking manner illustrated thc f..nie of this remarkable family. The subject of the present memoir was born in Philadelphia,. July 19, 1806, and was therefore not quite 60 years of age at the time of his last illness. Educated at the Unitod States military academy at West Point, ho graduated with the highest honors, and became lieutenant of engineers of fortification in 1825, in which capacity ho served two years, resigning his commission in tho year 1827, to ac? cept the position of Professor of Mathematica in the University of Pennsylvania. Here he remain? ed until 1841, when he was chosen by tho Phila? delphia Board of Controllers of the Public Schools Principal of tho Central High School. After a sorvice of not quite two years he resign? ed his post and returned to the more congenial professorship of natural philosophy and chemistry in the University, in 1842, and remained there about a year, resigning in tho year 1843 to ?l? the post of President of Girard College, in which ca? pacity he had previously visited Europe to ex? amine the systems of instruction there, there suits of which have been published in a large vol ame. In 1833 he edited an edition of Brewster's Optics, with notes. In 1847 he published in three volumes, 8vo., Observations at tho Magnetic and Meteorological Observatory of Girard College from 1840 to 1845, with one volume of platea Li 1853 he was appointed superintendent of the United States Coast Survey, which post he held until his death. Professor Bache was a member of tho principal scientific societies of the world, and received tho medal of the British Royal Geographical Society in 1858. Ho was one of the founders and moBfc zeal? ous members of the American Asecciation for the Advancement of Science; also one of the scientific faculty of the Smithsonian Institution at Wash? ington, and of the Scientific Board under whoso auspices tho famous Dudley Astronomical Obser? vatory at Albany, New . York, was built and fitted up. Aside from the works abovo mentioned, his papers will be found scattered through the Journal of the FranJ dil i Institute, Proceedings of tho Ame? rican Association for tho Advancement of Science, Journal of the American Pliilosophical Society, American Journal of Science, and Proceedings bf the British Association for tho Advancement of Science. He also wrote tho annual report to the United States Treasury Department on weights and measures from 1844 to 1856 inclusive. [ Washington Republican. THE JAPANESE IN PAMS.-A correspondent writes: "The Japanese embassy now staying at tho Grand Hotel, Paris, occupy a suite of elegant rooms, for which they pay 350fr. a day. Thc anns they wear consist of long daggers and short sabres, " richly ornamented, and are beautifully finished and for? midable weapons. The chief of the embassy dresses in European costume, with trousers and black frock coat. His nomo is Ko-Tolo, and he bears the title cf Yamatono-Kami. Ho is a Min? ister of Foreign Affairs at Japan, grand officer of the Taicoon, and governor of a province as large aa the wbolo of I'rance. Before returning to Pans he will pay a visit to St. Petersburg, and afterwaida to America. The ambassadors take five meals a day, and appear to have excellent appetites. Of wines they seem* to prefer Madeira and champagne, but they nave a strong predilection for beer, ana are sufficiently good judges of molt and hopa to give the preference to the Euglish beverage." BEABS MEAT AND HORSE FLESH IN PARIS.-Tho Pall Moll Gazette says : "Bear's flesh is at this moment selling in the Paris meat markets ai the rate of five francs the kilogramme, or one shilling and ten pence per pound. The consumption of horse flesh is increasing rapidly among tho poorer classes in the different quarters of Paris. There are now open no less than fifteen butchers' shops -rfour of which are in different meat markets-for the exclusive sale of the new 'viande,' and there are four restaurants where horse flesh is tho dis? tinguishing featuro of the carte. At particular places in the province* horse meat has bocomc a staple article of trade. At Caudebec, for instance, seven to eight hundred kilogrammes are sold daily in the narket." TUE CAJID MANIA:-At no time it would seem since the organization of refined society hes the mama for tho outre and bizarro manifested itself I more than at present in visiting, party and wed? ding cards. Persons who claim to be loaders of fashion in curds are constantly trying their inge? nuity and their bad taste, wo miglit add, in devis? ing some, hing new, when tho old styles were real? ly much better. The result is that gentlemen and ladies aro surprised on opening what they imagine from its bulk and appearance to be a package by express to fiud an invitation to dinner, or a i ecep tion, or a Gennan. This is the day of tho reign of the fantastic and the palpably elaborate, which blossoms into fullness iu cards of all kinds. Sim? plicity is Hie best thing, and the most elegant, let it be remembered; and we have more need to re? turn to old times than to advance to new-at Joast in thc present direction-for tho gratification of good taste and the unobjectionable in form. [New York Gazette. POETHY OF CHEMISTKY.-A late number of the Revue des Deux Mondes states that Professor Trautwetter has made the astounding discovery that tho "Nibelungen Lied" is a treatise on chem? istry in the disguise of verse. Etzel, lie believes, represents lime; Gunther carbon; Siegfried muri? atic acid; Brunebault carbonic acid, and Kriomhild ivory black; the murder of Siegfried expressing the neutralization of muriatic acid. Dur win's "Loves of thc Plants," and somebody else's "Loves of the Triangles," waa nothing to this stupendous joke, which, however, *-. too great a joke to be un? derstood in Germany, since Professor Zeuve, of Berlin, in his edition* of tho "Nibelungen," exam? ines it with becoming gravity, und concludes sage? ly that "it appears to rest on no certain basis." The following circular has been issued by com? mand of Gen. G KANT : "Hereafter none but un? married men, who are not less than five feet five inches in height, will be enlisted into the army of the United States for any arm of tho Bervico." It would seem by this that an abundance of men are offering themselves for tho regular army; and that the military authorities aro able to discriminate in a manner impossible in any other country of the I world. j iv~S?aUieru Bditor*? Keminisceiiee?. The Memphis Avalanche, ajournai usually very iolent in its tone, indulges in the following chance lit of sentiment : "Lato at night, while tho firo and lamps burn ow and dim, wo lay down No. 10,039, Vol. LXVLLI. if tho National Intelligencer, and loan back to bink, overcome by tho many memorioB which its amiliar caption calls up.

Sea on, both great and good men, now numbered with ,ho dead, but of immortal memory. Isrot only of hose princely gentlemen docs tho Intelligencer re? bind us, but of many, many ancthor whom we .vero fortunate in knowing, and whom the country me lost-Webster and Clay and Crittenden; Daw ion, the 'Commodore,' of Georgia, peerless at tho Sinner table; Rusk and Houston, lloyd, kindost hearted of all living men; that noblo gentleman, Butler, of South Carolina, Prentiss, worthy to bo called Chrysostom, golden-mouthed, and not only beyond comparison the most eloquent, but the most gouial and generous of men: large-hearted Tom Corwin; Keith, gallant and good; Badger, wise be? yond other men. of admirable wit and alwayB ena? mored of the truth; Sevier and Douglas, Clemens and Quitman, with many a dear old familiar face, of others less known to famo and oven more be? loved, crowd around us as we write; the dead mmgling with thc living; Porter, of the Spirit, and Inman, the artist, and glorious John Brougham, and Alexander Dimitry, large-souled as one of Homer's heroes and wise as Plato; Breckinridge and Bonham, Bovce and Robert Johnson, four men ol like princely natures; all these and many like these we met at Washington in the better times, when the Senate of tbe United States sat in tho old Chamber, and that city was the capital of both Cue Northern and the Southern States. Elim, fugaces ! how tho years drift away, and wo become garrulous, and forget that tho long list of names, and the memories they call up, of 'the refections of the gods' and limes gone never to return, and scones already dim as they recede into the pa?t, bav? interessier no one but ourself I Neverthe? less, it is written, it is a cry from the heart.

Boston Boot and Shoe Market. BORTON, February 21.-There has been some im? provement in trade the latter part of tho week os regards the quantity of goods disposed of, but little or none in prices, which continued depressed and uuremunerative to manufacturers. Buyers me here from all the princi? pal cities of tho West, and seem inclined to purchase a fair stock of goods, but tho field of operation being ex? tended to tho neighboring towns more than formerly, their presence is not so noticeable to tho trade of the cit}*. Thc surplus of goods in the market is gradually being worked off, and as the stock of any particular kind decreases the price improves. Competition in selling is very Btrong, and some manu? facturers who lind they cannot dispose o? their goods on hand at a profit, humcdiatcly commence rn-king an inferior quality in order to promote Rules for tho time being. This policy wc trust will not be generally adopt? ed, as it would cud in placing tho Eastern market ot the rear instead of as heretofore ut tho head of the markets tor fhrnlshing thc country with b?ots and shoes. Thc shipments of boots and shoos hy sea and rail for the ?rook have been 21,411 cases, an increase of C184 cases jver Inst wcelc. Thc total shipments hove been 17,019 :ases.
