Senator Hitchcock makes Debut as a Poet. his An Impartial Criticism of uis "Nice Bhymine Letter." Poets and Poetry have ever been appreciated in all ages and all coun-t-ies. Greece had her Homer Seven cities fought, for Homer dead, through which the living Homer begged his bread. Although ho had a hard time of it while living his poetry was appreciated, and was the means cf making him immortal. He lives forever in the minds of men. Italy had her poets Virgil, Hor ace, and a host of others. She, too, like Greece, owes more to her poets than the poets owe to them. Ger many had her Gcethe and Schiller; England her Shakspeare, Scott, By ron, and others who have passed in their chips; while among the living she has her Tennyson, tho poet laureate. America has her Longfellow, her Bret Harte, her "Walt Whitman, her Joaquin Miller, and others, who have mado and are making a repu tation for themselves anil tneir country. But whom has Nebraska ? She has Phineas "W. Hitchcock. Should the honor of poet laureate be established in the United States to-day, thero would bo no lack of aspirants, and if the people of Omaha and Nebraska had a voice in the selection of a poet to "wear the laurel" they woidd unhesita tingly choose Phineas W.Hitchcock. He is tlio only man that would stand any chance of knocking the chip off Tennyson's shoulder, should there ever be an internation al poetry writing match. We'll wager a copy of "Mother Goose's Melodies" that ho can do it. He is n poet of no mean order, which fact lias recently been dis covered by liis admiring constitu ents, who read in Sunday's Re publican that beautiful poetical con tribution dedicated "To Gracie Hitchcock at School jn Germany," and signed "P. W. H." Yes, P. W. H. has written a poem. He lias invoked the muse, mounted his Pegasus, and has made himself immortal in rhyme. Senator Hitchcock, like many other public men, undoubtedly has long had" an itching to make himself famous as a poet, and we can un hesitatingly say that his ambition has at last been gratified. The poem referred to affords abundant proof that the Senator is endowed with a vlvjd poptical im agination, and that he is but another evidence of tho truth of the Latin maxim, "Jhcia nascttur, non Jit." He is a born poet, as any one capa ble of judging of the merits of his "nlr.o rjjypiing letter," will at once conclude. Having struck his attitude as a poet, and having thrown himself upon the tender mercies of the jury, which in this case is tho reading public throughout the whole world, we shall exercise our rights of criti cism upon his maiden effort, and shall endeavor to render an impar tial verdict in liis case. We con sider ourself perfectly capable of criticising his poem, for in our younger days Ave also wrote poetry. We reco)kit of having composed, with some considerable effort, a parody on "Excelsior," and "The Raven," and wo onco copied a long forgotten poem, of some merit, and palmed it off on Harper's magazine, as entirely original with us. We felt A3 proud of those successful poetical eflorts, as does Phineas W. Hitchcock of his "rhyming let ter." But let us proceed with our task the criticism of the Senator's "pome." The first two lines are : "My denr little Grace, it will male you feel better. To get from your papa, a nice rhyming letter." There is much contained in these two lines. They express an affection which only a father can feel, and intimate that a "nice rhyming let ter," such as he, of course, is writ ing will make the recipient feel better : that is, hotter than if she had received a dry, matter-of-fact prose epistle. No fault can bo found with this beautiful and expressive opening. His description of his senatorial labors is very vivid, and is worthy of careful perusal. He says his"lone life" at AVashington, is "ever the bright, flashing brilliants, me clitterinc poetical setting. 3s. Especially to be admired is thkj passage : " yon are jio 'butterfly. floating in air ; For tha pressntno lilor, tin future no care ; But the Bkk, that while sipping from eTery flower, All that flower's precious s redness, In ea.h sunny hour." Here, it will be noticed, he gives the gaudily attired butterfly a deserved censure, for passing its time in lazily floating through the air, with the greatest of ease, doing no work, enjoying tho present, and and letting the future take care of itself; while, on the other hand, by way of contrast, he pays a merited compliment to that industrious "insect," the "Bee," who doesn't fool away any time, but sucks the sweot life out of every flower, and stores it way forsome unlucky hour, or a rainy day. The poet, when he drew on his fertile imagination for these ideas, must have had in mind that exquisite little poem : "il-w loth the little buy Bek, Impiore each shining h mr. It githcrs honey all the day From eviry fragrant flower." or, as we appropriately improved it just after last full's election : "How doth the liltie bu-y Bee, Improve &cb s Ining hour; It fathers (Drpitches all the diy, lty same mysterious pawer." The composition of Senator Phin eas W. Hitchcock's poem is beyond criticism; his ideas are beautiful, and are finely expressed ; the rhyme is excellent, every two lines "jing ling" in harmony, as it were. The author, in several instances, has availed himself, it is true, of the license allowed to poets, but he has done it in such a finished manner, that no one can consistently find fault with it. We cannot pay a higher compli ment to Senator Hitchcock than by comparing his production with those of the author of "Hey JiJJle. the cat an I the !dle, The cow jumped over the m"on; The little l-g laughed to see such sport, While th; dish ran away wi h the spoon." A great similarity between the two will at onco be observed by the careful peruser, and we are led there fore, to believe that their "poetry machines" were constructed on the same plan, and that the only thing requisite for Phineas to do, in case he wants to become recognized as the leading poot of tho day, is to "turn the little handle." It is hoped that he will not be content with this his first public ef fort. The lovers of poetry would be greatly disappointed at any such determination on the part of the Senator, If there are any faults to be found with his "pome," they may safely be ascribed to the fact that he had to write it after midnight, when he had a terrible headache, and an aching heart, as he himself says. He is advised Jiercafter to write at a more seasonable hour, when he is in better trim. Although tho poem may go down to posterity along with the efforts of Tennyson, and other rhymesters, it is hoped that this will not be his only attempt. Ho is n public man, and he should cultivate his literary talent. Don't all public men and Statesmen do it ? Didn't D'Israeli do it ? Didn't Bul wor do it? Didn't Gladstone do it ? and didn't Napoleon Bonaparte do it? Of course, they did ; and they gave to tho world the results of their labors. Senator Hitohoock must fol low suit, if ho wishes to live in the memory of men long alter he has been reduced to ashes by the pro cess of cremation ; he must find time, aside from his arduous labors, to favor the public with "some more of tho same kind." There are some critics, wo know, who would not agree with us in our criticism of Sonator Hitchcock's poem. They belong to tho fault finding class of critics persons who are not aware that it is an easier task to crjtioiso a Jiterary production than It is to write It. They have no word of encourage ment; their chief delight is to dash cold water bn the maiden efforts of writers. They d.o not tako into con sideration the painful heart-achings caused by their cutting criticisms. There are persons among this class, who would, after cruelly dissecting Mr. Hitchcock's poem, dolibsrately advise him ".no more lo ape poetical rreitlon, But straightway don his spiual terminatjon, And join nls fellows in the forest cool. Untlt taught better by Dame Nature's r.le!" We suppose that tho daughter has ere this answered her father's letter, and should not bo surprised to see it appear in tho Republican next Sun day morning. It will probably be as follows: "Fitter, dear father, come home to us now, ah! how long. voa.haTe ttayed! UNITED STATES COURTS. udge Dandy, Presiding.

Editor OMAnA Bee: Our town was unusually lively yesterdaj'. Tho farmers and me chanics in and around this place came in town te wjties3 the organ ization cf a Counoil of Industry. Mr. .Harrison Johnson called the meeting to order and introduced Mr. W. Wright, who stated the object of the order, which was 'received with enthusiasm. Col. Smytbe was introduced by Mr. Johnson. He spoke of the financial depression of tho country, and the oause of it. Geo. TJ. Crawford was called on. He made a few timely re marks showing that he was iu sym pathy with tho orijer. Mr. J. Rush was then called for, and amid loud applauso took the stand. He spoke in some length on the aristocracy an'd its influence on tho working class. Dr. Chas. Howecroft made a few remarks in favor of the order. He was followed by Messrs. Goff and Smiley. The objects of the order were so well explained by the speakers that thirty-six gentlemen signed tho roll book, and the fol lowing gentlemen were elected to fill the different offitcs : Geo. N. Crawford, president ; Eli Johnson, farmer ; P. H. Kean, me chanic ; J. W. Stewart, chaplain ; Dr. Chas. Howecroft, secretary ; J. McArthur, senior escort: Georsre THE "SEANCE" AGAIN. Effects (of Modern Spiritualism. Omaha, May 4, 1874. Editor Bee : Just at this time, when thefriends of the mysterious are on tip-toe, and "Seance" finds a place in one of our dailies ; when the visible yet invis ible hand and collar-box perform ance is warm in the minds of some of our people, it may be interesting to your readers to tako a view of "Seance," as witnessed last night by a number of unwilling witnesses, and performed by the same medium as iu the former case. This medium, Mr. A. C. Abbott from Tekamah, wag induced to visit Omaha by certain parties well known in this city, under promise that they would procure him a situa tion in soma business. Soon after his arrival, about the middle of last week, he was induced to give sit tings, at different places where the mysteries of the spirit land are sought for, and the results of one such was published as above stated. During this time he has com plained to his friend with whom he is stopping of feeling unwell. Yes terday he was followed up by the parties above alluded to, who insis ted that he should meet them in the evening for another performance, in answer to which he sent a note statinir that he was sick and could not attend, after which he was vis ited by tho parties and informed that he was expected and must come; that to-morrow night would not do. Immediately after his persecutor left him, he was seized with cramps by which lie was drawn into un seeming shapes and lay in con vulsions on the floor. This contin ued for some minutes, when the muscles relaxed and he was left easy; but again these spasms re turned, and during the entire night he suffered a thousand deaths, and twice was given up for dead. Dur ing these spasms the most powerful stimulants were administered with some good effect, yet at this writing there is but little change for the bet ter. Mr. Abbot claims not to be a Spiritualist, but an unbeliever, and that he has only followed this thing for investigation, and in all proba bility this will be his last seance. But for these good (?) friends who had been so anxious for his welfare, Oh where, were they? Not wjtb, him to bp sure, wt doubtless with their familiar spirits, with whom th iey held sweet converse. Did the spirits tell them of his terrible state, and advise them to hasten to him? Nofiwe think not, for skeptics were there, and unbelievers d.id. what they could for his relief. Ho is in the hands of good friends, but not of the spiritual istjo faith, from which, good God, delivor ih. One of his Attendants. f Mysterious Disappearance.
