A NEBRASKA POET IN THE
UNITED STATES SENATE.
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!

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

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

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.
