Cor. Waterbury American.
COL. HOLMES' "POEM."
Celebration, of the 'Fifteenth Amend
ment in. Boston.
, The colored people of the city and
surrounding towns, had a great gala
day on Thursday, the 14th inst. It
was the first celebration of their "4th
of Julj'," and evoked all the enthusi
asm for which their race is noted.
The day was beautiful, and the cele
bration lasted from morn till night.
The procession was very large, embra
cing many military companies of the
militia, the veterans of the war, both
from the navy and army, and nu
merous societies free masons among
the number all of which were color
ed men. The governor, his staff", and
tmauy other notables gave to the pro
cession their presence and counten
ance. Its line of march took in one
or two streets, where in former times
Boston mobs outraged every principle
of freedom, by an attack upon Win.
Lloyd Garrison, and other apostles of
true liberty. The world advances,
and contrasts of that day and this,
show in the strongest light, that here
in the city of the Pilgrims the popular
intelligence and purpose have been
lifted up fo a higher place of civil con
duct. From this we urge the popu
larity of our republican institutions.
Suffice it to say, that no more orderly
procession ever paraded these streets,
and no insults were offered them by
any of the great numberof observers.
In tbe afternoon Faneuil Hall was the
great centre of attractions, and the
exercises there are of especial interest
to all Waterbury people, since
.Col. C. E. L. Holmes was the-poqt of
'tne'uav. une oia cradle or. libertv
nyrlolted, grander, nor were more
repre
sented replying to Hayne in the sen
ate, which adorns the west end of
Faneuil Hall. No one with greater
foresight saw the end of the slavery
agitation than Webster, and now
hardly fifteen years in his grave, "all
things become new." What would
the immortal statesman have said, if
those "pictured lips" could have bro
ken into voice? He would have
known at least, "Liberty and Union"
were now possible and consumated.
William Lloyd Garrison arose from a
sick bed to 'mingle his voice in the
general triumph. Hi3 remarks point
ed, eloquent and prophetic, yet were
applauded to the echo by the immense
throng of listeners and friends. Soon
after his speech, the poem was an
nounced. Col. Holmes prefaced its
reading by a few remarks, in which
he informed the audience, the title of
the poem was the "Black JErophefc''
Toour personal knowledge, this was
written by Col. Holmes, while Gen.
tLee was on his way to Gettysburg,
and every line of the wonderful proph
ecy has since emerged from hope and
fmcy into fact. It was read most ad
mirably by Mr. William H. Pope of
New York, an elocutionist of true
genius and rising fame. The Boston
press were unanimous in his praise,
and we trust that a Waterbury au
dience may soon have the pleasure of
listening to his readings. He hasall
the culture and art of 3'our own Rus
sell, witli greater power of voice. The
poem, a truej-pecimen of poetic geni
us, is to be highly commended, and in
saying this, I but echo Boston senti
ment. Having had the privilege of
examining the pro'diiction, I append
a few selections, although for n' true
appreciation, every line should be
heard.
For poetic description, take the fol
lowing i
The sun once more had rolled his chariot
wheels
From orient to Occident.
And now. Ids coursers bathed their wearied
limbs.
"Within the waves of that atrial sea,
"Which breaks along the terraced vollet
banks
Upon the farther shore of day
And throws its golden spray sheer o'er
The crimson headlands of the clouds;
To fall in glorifying baptism.
upontneioreneausoi tnenuis.
Reflected thence the colden sheen
' Prolongs the daywUhin theshlning vales;
Where twilight, like a timorous, dusky
mniu;
With dainty tread, and backward glance,
Is stealing towardher moonlit bower.
To rest in tho enamored -arms of night.
Thej.uhvarying strength of the po
em isavfact worthy of e.speciarnotice,
and tHe(folIo.wing lines maybe taken
as "alfair example of poetic power in
thistiirection:
N,ow1ier me master !
" tr- V If I owned the whole
vi jou a great, universe ana neid -God's
title deed talhe last star,
Which on the confines of extremist space.
Stands like Jehovah's Sentinel where
The last rocky headlnnd of creation. Juts
Its rugged frontagalnst the Inky waves
Of chaos did I own it all
And w.e reinylfe qommensurate
"W ithmypxssessions--hadGod manipllatcd
ilfTv three score years, by his eternity
What were such Jreasuresor such years
While I said niaMer to a tnan.
One of the finest productions is to
be fonnd in the Spirits address to the
Prophet, and its reading was greeted
with geuuine applause :
Long ye've waited r still yc wait!
On the threshhold of your fate,
Bat the door swings wide at last,
Tbe time is full the die Is castr
"Now is Freedom's trial hour
Now shall slavery's giant power
Grapple with her, hand to hand,
J? shall perish .sAe shall stand.
Peal war's tocsin ! Beat war's drum J
Day miday of days has come.
Let my ban nerj and ray name, , ' 1 1 1

CLet-my eacles pass tho word 1 1 '(U.
r
jLet each freeman grasp Jiis-sword 1
And each tlave who dare be free
JStrike! andMrUie lor fiibertj. '
And;again, from the slave's farewell
to slavery: , v
fit means the night, the gloomy night has
passed,
It means the day,I've waited for,
My day , of Jubilee, has come
From henceforth GxTt ray master our not
man.
It means that
Freedom's resurrecting
trum
Is sounding peal on peal across
A centnry of death and night.
v aln was your guard and vain your seal.
Vainly ye bought, andhribed, and sold.
The souls of venal statesman, priests and
. judge.
With "more ofhope.yonmigbthave riveted
Tour chains about the solid globe,
,To hold the earthquake in Its place
,Or set your seal upon Vesuvius.
Past Is yonr day of triumph past your
power,
-Past the long day of our despair
. The flashing cimetar of morn.
Cleaves through the laden mail of night
And on the shining extreme verge,

OTer Dressing.
Howard Glyndon, writing to the
New York Mail, on some of the prev
alent fashions, says :
I don't object to the ladies wearing
lace flowers upon satin dresses, and
diamonds in their hair and on their
necks, nor do I object to admiring
lookers-on reporting how gracefully
these things were worn. But every
thing in moderation and I don't
think much of any woman who put3
all that she can possibly rake and
scrape together upon a ball room cos
tume for the avowed purpose of out
shining every woman present, .not in
grace or stateliness, or elegance or ease
of manner, but simply in the net cost
of her dress and jewels! My dear
reader, don't you think that this has
something of barbaric flavor about it?
For my part, it makes me think of the
King of Dahomey, with rings on his
angers and bells on nis toes, or of the
Chief of Ashautee, with his war paint
on ; and when indulged in bj'an edu
cated and civilized woman, it is worse
than barbaric; it is coarse! It is I
hate to say so, but the truth ia that it
is vulgar; it is more than that, it is
criminal. It helps to demoralize the
social atmosphere ; it more than helps
to such panics in Wall street as we've
had lately this passion that our wo
men have for the costliest apparel,
and this passion of our men for the
fastest horses. No striving after per
sonal refinement after nobleness of
'deportment and superiority of taste
and distinguished manners. J o stri
ving to be, at heart, ladies and gentle
men. No! only an ambition to hold
the costliest cigars between lips and
pour, out slang and bad grammar, and
(something tworse) a Dre&King or tne

ses that have cost thousands upon
thousands, and who are (and that is
at least, one consolation) whht many
of their owners are not thoroughbred.
Why ! there never wasa country with
so many opportunities as ours for
bringing up a nation of born and bred
ladies and gentlemen. Accounts
ought to go into every land not of
the costliness of our men's equipages
aud of our women's diamonds butof
the courtesy and refinement of our
gentlemen and the grace and high
breeding of our ladies. We ought to
feel that both the one and the other
can shine by the light alone of what
they are, and not of what they pos
sess. But to get the reputation solely
of being the keepers of fine horses,
and the women of fine diamonds oh,
lie! it's-vulgar vulgar vulgar !
Thrilling Adventure.
One of our oldest merchants, who is
so soon to pass away, and who former
ly carried on business in Beaver street,
residing as it was the custom in olden
times over his store, tells the follow
ing thrilling narrative, which he oc
casionally relates with wonderful ef
fect: A party had been collected at
his house to give eclat to one of those
little family festivals which brighten
the dark trace of life, and cheer the
human heart in every clime. It was
his daughter's wedding day; crowds
of her young acquaintances circled
round her, and as the father gazed
Eroudly on the face of the young
ride, he wished as bright a prospect
might open for his other children who
were gamboling merily among the
crowd. Passing through the passage
connecting the lower rooms, he met
the servant maid, an Ignorant country
girl, who was carrying a lighted tal
low candle in her hand without a can
dlestick. He blamed her for Uiis dir
ty conduct, and -went on into the
kitchen to Hiake some arrangements
with his wife about the supper table ;
the girl shortly returned with her
-arms lull oi aie notties, out witnout
the candle. -The merchant immedi
ately recollected that several barrels of
gunpdwder had been placed in his
cellar "'during the day-, and that his
foreman had opened one of the barrels
to select a sample for a custompr.
"Where :is yonr candle?" he inquired
in the utmost agitation. "I couldn't
bring it up with me, for my hands
Were full," said the girl. "Where did
you leave it?" "Well, I'd no can
dlestick. m I stuck it into some-black
sand that's there in one of the tubs."
The merchant dashed down the cel
lar steps ; the passage was long and
dark, and as he groped his way on,
his knees threatened to give way un
der him ; his breath was ehoketl, and
his flesh seemed suddenly to become
dry and parched, as if he had already
feft the suffocating blast of death. At
the extremity of the passage, in the
front cellar, under the very room
where his children and their friends
were reveling in felicity,, he discern
ed the open powder barrel, full almost
to the top the candle stuck lightly
in the loose grains, with a long red
snuff of bunitrout wick, topping the
small and gloomy flame. This sight
seemed to wither all his powers, and
the merry laugh of the youngsters
above stuck npon his heart like the
knell of death. He stood for some'
moments.'gazlng upon that light, un
able to advance. The fiddler com
menced a lively jig, ,nnd the feet of
dancers responded with increased vi
vacity;; the floor shook with their ex-s
eftions,. and the loose bottles in thel
cellar jingled with the motion. He
fancied the candle was moved was
falling! "With desperate energy 1

move it? The slightest touch would
cause the small live coal of wick to
Xall into the loose powder. With un
equaled presence of mind, he placed a
hand each side of the candle, with the
open palms upward, and the distend
ed fingers pointed toward the object
otjhis care, which, as his hands grad
ually met, was secured in the clasping
op locking of his fingers, and safelv
Temoved it from the head of the bar
rel. When he reached the head of
the stairs, the excitement was over;
he smiled at the danger he had con
quered; but the reaction was too
powerful, he fell into fits of most vio
lent and dreadful daughter.. He was
conveyed senseless to bed, and many
weeks elapsed ere his nerves recover
ed sufficient tone to allow him to re
sume his habits of every day Hfe."

ALEXANDRA LI3CP.
A Successor to tho Deposed Grecian.
' Alexander the Great, as history fs
forms ust.had u slight imperfection.in
the setting on of his head, which in-
cuneu a utuc io one side. is- cour
tiers, therefore, felt it incumbent on
them to affect awry necks, and did so
accordingly. Alexandra, Princess of
Wales, has unfortunately contracted a
limb from rheumatism ; and now, a3
we hear, the liege ladies of England
have taken to limping too, and
"halt!" is the latest command given
by fashion. That the "Alexander
limp" will find its way hither ere
long is a thing to be expected, and,
indeed, it is stated to have already
made its appearance on our fashion
able promonedes. The desired limp
is obtained simply by wearing shoes
with heels of unequal hight, and the
deformity thus produced is no greater
than that which characterizes the
"Grecian bend." A necessary accom
paniment of the "Alexandra limp"
will be a walking cane, which will be
very appropriate for the walking
dolls that adopt the gait. The fashion,
of course, will lead to a modification
of the most of our present dances and
tne invention of new ones. Lapsided
waltzes will have to be devised, and
in doing so, the "German" crutches
will probably come to be the proper
thing. As the skating season is at
hand, it 'would be a neat idea to carry
out the "Alexandra limp" on ice. We
have had ever so many good things
"on ice" already, and why not the
"limp?" The girls of the period are
capable of action on any of these
suggestions, and they should by all
means begin to have their bal morals
altered at once, if not their morals.
Our Noble Laboring 3Ten.
God bless those little tin pails !
To-night we saw them going home
a thousand and more of them. They
were carried'by men who toiled by
the workingmen who are sneered at,
and snubbed, and jostled against, and
pushed aside by the gilt-edged fash
ionable whose hands are soft and
whose hearts are hard. The little tin
pails went outthis morning, and went
in to-night. The man who had one
in his hand,.swringingby. hisiido,-waa

We sawthe laborers go by this mor
ning, their little pails full, their step
quick and elastic for it will not do
for laboring men to be late. The rich,
who cany furs, and gold clasp purses,
and who pet their poodles, may be
late, or not go at all ; but the honest
man with hard palms and an uncer
tain future he must be on time.
'Way up stairs, down cellar; in the
close, sticky, ropy, thickened air of
the tenement house, where humanity
is huddled like sheep, their little pails
were filled. A wife arose while her
tired husband was sleeping "just a
moment more," and with silent step
walked the floor till the scanty meal
of the morning was ready. Then she
called A?m, and tne tired man arose,
wishing he did not have to go forth
thus early. And while he ate hurrid-
ly, the hand he once loved to kiss,
filled that-little pail. A slice or two
of bread, a little cold meat, some salt
or mustard ; and, perhaps, a piece of
cake or pie ; mayhap an egg, or cold
potato ; and, perchance in a little cup
on the top of the pail, a pint of coffee.
Then the knife and spoon are slipped
in, and he hurries away.
Work, work, work! Hour after
hour! Thinking of this and that of
the past, of to-day, of to-morrow.
Hammer, saw, pound, bruise, stitch,
file, drill, shovel, lift, watch, strain
muscle and strain mind. Hours go
by noon comes. The little pail is a
welcome treasure. It comes at the
hour of rest, with its fill of food. The
tired man eats, and he thinks of home
and tbe loving hands that filled his
little pail. And his heart grows
strong, and when the noon hour is
over, he works, and he works, and he
works for her and for them, and for a
better home, and a time when to rest
a day, does not rob the loved ones.
And he looks back over the years to
ifhe time when he wondered if she
loved him, and to the Saturday nights, 1
when he hurried notne and washed
his face, neck and body : when he put
on his best, and no matter how tired,
hastened to meet her, io put his hand
in hers, to take one, two, three a
score of kisses from the lips so love'd,
and to look, oh ! so far down Info the
depths of the eyes which were his
choicest mirrors. She was young
then. Now she is old, or growing
old. -He works in the shop. She toils
in the house, and, perhaps, goes out
to labor, to help him earn a home.

Give "Willing Boys a Chance.
The lesson incalculated in the fol
lowing brief sketch is worth studying:
A green, rustic lad, came years ago
to the metropolis from a Connecticut
village. At home he bad done well
in an honorable way, but he had read
and heard of the wonderful city. He
made np his" mind he'could d6 some
thing in it. When he reached the city
no place seemed open, to hinL Day
after day he hunted for business.
Want stared him in the face. He
would not go back to his friends.
Dropping into alargedry goods house
one day in search for work, he
chanced to come face to face with the
proprietor.
"We have nothing for you to do,
sir," this great business man said in
reply to his inquiry, "but stay, what
can you do?" he continued, "you
seem to be. an honest looking lad."
"Oh, sir, I can do anything only
try me. Only give me a chance to do
something!" And the tears came
out and trickled down the cheeks of
the almost discouraged, forlorn boy,
though he tried as hard as he could to
repress them. "I will take the poor
est place and do my best."
He was engaged and set to work.
He was sent down to the cellar and
commenced his business career in
New York by pounding nails, which-
bad. bean thrown in a-pile beside the.
Dackkie.feo.xes, so they eould beieftgl:.;

rjjr on the pay he reei Ved. Thurtf he
wus put in a oetier piace. x nen ne
rose to be clerk, and no clerk was so
hard working, so faithful, so interest
ed in this great house as himself. He
saw his chance and counted up in his
own busy brain every point in the
game.
In five years from that time he snt
on the managers seat aud hammered
the crooked ins and outs of the busi
ness straigllt.
During his clerkship he never miss
ed a day ; and no morning went by
without reporting prompt at seven
o'clock. He saved money and pros
pered as the years went by. Go up
Broadway to-day, and you will see his
name in golden letters over the en
terance to one of the largest and finest
establishments. In thai building
there are seventeen million dollars'
Worth of stock. His trade extends all
over the land. His fortune is prince
ly. And even now, though the great
merchant is'getiing gray, and the old
time energy is waxing low, a new
light will come into his eyes, and a
new life to his form, when he tells of
those past days of striving, and says
to the young men around him :
"Work, if you would succeed- Be
a true, faithful, earnest clerk, If you
would become a merchant of position
and importance."
Xothing in the Paper.
The Richmond Enquirer has a spicy
chapter on the subject of newspapers
elicited by the stereotyped, remark of
indifferent readers, after scanning the
"miniature world" of a newspaper,
that "there is nothing in the paper.""
It says :
And meu are always grumbling
about their paper, and insinuating
how much better they could do it.
They talk as flippantly about "fine
articles" on every imaginable-subject
as if they could effect a change. Let
some of those .over-running philoso
phers try it for one hundred and fifty
successive days.
And then they think that it is noth
ing to select for a newspaper you
have merely to run ' the scissors
through a half dozen exchanges, and
you have matter enough, ow this
is the most Important and difficult
department to fill on a newspaper.
Very few men have tlie slightest idea
how to do the work. It requires a
thorough newspaper man - who
knows: the public appetite well who
knows what Is going on in the world,
and who knows how to re-write and
pack a column into a dozen lines'.
Men who skim a newspaper and
toss it aside, little reflect how toil and
brains have been expended iu serving
up that meal. Busy heads have been
toiling.slldaj- to gather and prepare
those viands, and sdme vast building
has been lighted from cellar to garret
all night to get that paper ready for the
newsboy by the crack of morn.
"Nothing in the paper!" Nothing
in your head!' that's what's the
matter.
The new fifty cent notes, which we
were told could not be Imitated, have
been counterfeited so accurately that
the Government officials cannot tell
the difference between the spurious
and the genuine stamps. We allude

all be called in and no more stamps of
that Kind will be made.

This Is the way the Fox girls pro
duce their spiritual rapplngs: Fasten
oneend of a piece of elastic land, four
or five inches long, to the middle of &
pound bar of lead, and the other end
to a ring large enough to receive the
toe of your shoe. Take another pieee
of elastic band, 'eight inches or more
In length, fasten one end to the ring,
and the other to the right leg above
the knee. When standing, with the
contrivance arranged as described,
the bar of Jesd should not come quite
to ther ankle. Of course, alone drees
is necessary to conceal it. When sit
ting, the raps can be made by putting
the toe of theleftshoe throug the ring,
and with a slight movement of the
foot causing the lead to strike the
floor. One end of the bar will be
likely to come in contact with the
floor a little before the other end dees,
and thus produce the peculiar double
knock made by the Fox mediums.
By a slight lateral motion of the foot,
raps can be made with such a contri
vance on a table-leg or door. A gen
tleman walking home with one of the
girls, one evening after a seancet no
ticed a sound in connection with her
step Jike that made by a wooden peg
in walking, and the embarrassed girl
said she could not conceive what
caused it.
Couldn't Get Her. Yesterday a
trial was going on in the Recorder's
Court, in which an old lady and her
daughter were witnesses. The mat
ron was not good looking, bnt the
young lady certainly was. Their tes
timony was about the same, and when
they were called to the stand the court
interfered.:
"Let me have the young- girl the
young lady will do!" meaning there
by that her evidence alone would
suffice.
But the old lady misunderstood
him, and screamed out in undisgnlsed
alarm:
"No, no! you musn't have her;
she's engaged ; she's going to marry;
you shan't have her!"
Before this fearful accusation the
Conrt could only look in speechless
amazement. The old lady, preceiving
her advantage, continued, accusingly:
"I've heard of you before, sir. You
ought to be ashamed of yourself, if
you aro a judge, and yau a married
man too, sir!"
An explination of the old lady's
mistake was hastily mado; but it
would not do, and the incensed lady
left the court-room, still muttering
her wrath. JV. O. Pic.
A little boy was washed and dressed
one morning, and sent to Sabbath
school, being warned not to pass the
Btnall-pox hospital. During the exer

had ever been baptized. Small-pox
and vaccination happened to be up
permost in George's mind, and being
rather too young to know the differ
ence between baptized and vaccinated,
and being ashamed to be thought ig
norant, he promptly and somewhat
Eompously answered: "Yes, sir; I
ave been baptized five or six times,
but it never took."

A chemist in Austrilia has made an
important discovery, a new test for
blood-stains, which is very delicate

it turns to a beautiful blue. Even in
the case fit blcod-stain twenty years
old, the test showed the same result.
This is regarded by scientific men as a
