A Rising Poet on a Visit to Minnesota. tho earlv train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway this morning, Mr. A. J. Cooper will leach St. Paul, bringing with him bis inseperable literary bag. Mr. Cooper pos flesfles the true poetic five and genius in a re markab'e degree, with a style all his own. giv incr to his writings a peculiar freshness and piquancy which make them much sought after and places the author in' the front rank of poetical writeis of the day. Mr. Cooper's present visit is for the purpose of securing a quiet retreat, in which he can withdraw him self from the distracting thoughts rf''''ice by enntact with the busy world, and where he can bend the tvium- foice of his poweiful mind and fervent imagination to the completion of a pastoral poem, the outlines of which he has already worked out in his thoughts. Mr. Cooper's friend. Charley Spencer, of the Erie and North Shore line, thinks he knows the very retreat de sired. While Mr. Cooper has been very reti cent as to the subject matter of his new poem, the reporter is reliably informed the first stanza runs something after the following style: Minnesota'u golden grain is in bags The grangers have banished their rags, And are sportively driving fast nags, Which the poet can't do for the swag. The next stanza is very touching, but the re porter promised not to give it away. Th fol lowing, showing the avidity with which Mr. oper'f writings are sought after, is from the Chicago Timet: One of the best iokes of the season is on Mr. A. J. Cooper, who has been facetiously dubbed "The Bard of Kinnickmnic Flats," on account of the a'vfnl solemnity of some of his efforts especially in telegruphic communicationsat rhyming. A lady called at a well known book store and inquired for "Mr. Cooper's poems." The obliging attendant ransneked the shelves, and his brain, and finally told the customer that the last copy had been sold the previous day, but that he wonld immediately Bend to New York for a new invoiceall the while se cretly wondering why he had never before heard of "Cooper's poems." "Arn't they pub lished in the city?" inquired the lady. Then the salesman made bold to ask which particular Cooper was referred to, hint ing, as an excuse for the question. tint nearly all the Coopeis were poets. "Why," she re plied, "he lives here in town and I think his name is A. J. Cooper. They call him some funny name, and I wanted to see what his poetry is like." The book man stuffed two silk handkerchiefs into his mouth and thus saved an explosion. Mr. Cooper is now en gaged on a poem entitled "When Will the Cows Come Home"he being short on wheat extracts from which I hope to present in my next Sunday letter. Board of Equalization. The boara of equalization met yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. There were present Commissioner Maynard and Miner, Aldermen Smyth and Griggs, Assessor Beaumont, Assist ant Assessor Quinn, Auditor Davis and Mayor Dawson. John Pigott and John Genois presented a petition asking for a leduction of the assess ments on their real estate in the second ward. The petitions were both oidered laid on the table. in comparing the assessments of the Fourth "ward, it was discovered that the houth half of lot 2, block 26. in Rico and Irvine's addition, belonging to C. N. Mann, was assebsed at 3200. The board raised it $ 1,8)0, making the absess ment $3.n00. Mr. Apperheim. who came in examine the assessoi's returns, referred in conveisation to the county attorney's opinion upon assessing tax titles. He thought the attoi ney was right so far as city property is concerned, but he thought to atterrpt to tax that kind of pro perty was labor vain, for if the board suc oeede 1 one year the next wo ild develop some plan of the monfy lenders to out it beyond their reachit had always been so and wonld continue so to the end. All the *ooard would succeed in doing would be to make some small invester pay while the great ones would evade all their efforts. At 12 o'clock the board adjourned till 2:30 p. M. to-day. Examination of Candidat es for Teachers. Yesterday morning the.exammation of teach ers commenced in the High school, under Su perintendent Buirington, who was assisted by Gen. Smith and other teachers. Th commit tee on schools was present during the examina tion. There were forty-thiee candidates in attendance, three of whom withdrew in disgu-t at the first paperarithmetic. The subjects in which candidates were examined yesterday were arithmetic, grammar and geography. The questions were by no means difficult, but comprehensive, and no one who could not make a two-thirds average in them would be unfit for a school teacher. The questions were plain and fair ones, not tricky or formed to suit especial reading. The re porter had the privilege of looking over the papers of some of the candidates, and he has no doubt that two-thirds will fail to get certifi cates, and among these some graduates of the high school. The examination will be con tinued to-day. The Strasburg Clock Has received tho liberal patronage its excellence entitles it to. It closing exhibitions take place this evening. It opens in Minneapolis Thursday. This morning the choice of seats is sold for Mr, Beecher's lecture next Friday evening. tor a day of pleasure go to Lake Elmo. CVrt GLOBULES. PERSONAL. The water in the river measured two feet ten inches, and falling. the flooring of the stalls of the hook and ladder team was relald yesterday by "the boys running wid der machine." Mr. Bernhard Zahm died yesterday in this city at the advanced age of eighty-one years, and his remains will be interred to-morrow at 9:50 A.M., from Assumption church., To-day at 12 M, the Cheever will leave the levee to connect with the K. N. packet Red Wing for St. Louis. The St. Louis packet Thursday will be the Clinton. Sixty feet of Rice street sewer were yesterday "keyed" under the superintendence of Aid. Grace, while operations were extended upon the Tenth street end of the abutments. A Copeland patent fire escape has been erected on the Warren house, corner of Jackson and Fourth streets, and will be exhibited at 3 o'clock this afternoon and at 7 o'clock in the evening. M. E Kornreich has so far recovered from his too intimate acquaintance with the healed term as to be able yesterday to devote a little attention to business, although he was still quite feeble. The "swimming" trains will depart for Lake Elmo this evening at 5:05 and 7:40 o'clock, and will leave the Lake depot at 10:15 o'clock. Judging by the success of Saturday, the excursion will be largely patronized. John Kleiner says he never had a fox in his life, and hence he never had a fox killed, as the Dhpatch falsely stated. John says he don't like to kick at nothing, as Barney Armstrong did, but he advises silence on the fox question. The board of equalization assembles again to-day at 2-30 P. M when all who feel them selves aggrieved as to their assessments had better appear and state their objections, that their matters may be adjusted before the levy is made. Sheriff Johnson, of Washington county, passed through the city yesterday withBoelter, iccused of assaulting young Lindbaum some two weeks ago with a hammer in Oakdale ownship. The defendant was captured by the Sheriff in a harvest field back or Red Wing. A ten foot sidewalk Is being Lid on the east side of Sibley street, between Fifth and Sixth. With commendable sensiblenes, ar rangements have been provided for futme anting of trees on the edges of the walk. This in an innovation wot thy of imitation in future similar improvements. The lecture room of the Young Men's Chris ian association was entirely filled last evening Sy the Union Sunday School Teachers' Bible class lately inaugurated. The exercises were of the most interesting character, and Rev. E 3. Thomas, of St. Paul's Episcopal church, was listened to with marked attention as he ex pounded the lesson for the evening. A telegram received in this city brought the intelligence of the death yesterday, at Star Prairie, St. Cioix county. Wis., of Gen. Lyman Kidder, the eldest brother of Hon J. P. Kid der, delegate to Congress from Dakota. Gen. Kidder was one of the oldest settlers of Star Prairie, and was highly respected for his ster ling qualities ot head and heart. Manager Farley, of the St. Paul & Pacific railroad, who returned from Melrose yesterday, says the wheat harvest along the branch line is nearly half completed, and that the crops promises to be fully an average. also re ports over four miles of track laid west from Melrose toward Sauk Centre, and that the rail will be laid through to that place by Saturday night of this week. The announcement in the GLO BE of yester day that Andrew Christmann, with Fetsch Bros., 7L East Third street, had fonnd a pocket-book, within an hour broucrht in J. G. Donnelly, who claimpd it, for Mr. Gilhspie, of the firm of Dunlap & Gillispie, of Auduhon.f It contained S73 in cash, with receipts and papers proving the ownership. Mr. Donnelly liberally rewarded the finder $10 and forwarded tho re mainder on by express to the owner. J. P. Bhgh, of thiB city, yesterday received notification that he had secured letters patent for an envelope intended to contain commer cial samples for transmission through the mails. The class of goods for which the in vention is intended is such as flour, seeds and the like, which are apt to sift through an or dinary coveiing. Mr. Bligh's envelope, while preventing this spillingof its contents on other mail matter, yet permits of their instant and complete inspection by the postoffice author ities without breaking the package. A speci.il meeting of the common council was held jesterday afternoon, the official proceedings of which appear on the fourth page of this issue and to which attention is hereby directed. Th chief business ac complished was the letting of the Jackson street pavement contract to James Starkey. his bondsmen being John M. Gillman and James Burns. The widening of Jackson street, and the stiaightening of Cedar street between Ninth and Tenth were referred to the board of public works, and an order was directed to be drawn in favor of Gustav Wilhus for $94.86 to redeem certificate No. 601, b-cause of its erroneous issue.

The words of the English tongue are to him as the forces of a mighty army. At one time, at his bidding, they tall into line, dressed in glittering uniforms for a holiday parade. Again, at the voice of his command, they thunder, and loar and storm like the opening of batteries upon a besieged fortress. And then they flash along the line in the glit ter of a briliant bayonet charge while again they leap forward in the whirl and roar and clatter of a cavalry onset. One longer won ders that there is a divine philosophy in or daining the living voice aa the vehicle for con veying the saving truths of the Gospel to the world, as distinguished from the less stirring impressions transmitted by the printed page.

Ara Barton might have made a sti onger candidate, but Mr. Poehler has sufficient popularity to secure his elec tion, and in Congress or elsewhere he will reflect honor on his district and his State. He is one of the best and most successful business men in the State, of sterling integ rity and good morals. Henry Poehler, if elected, will prove a working member, econ omical in expending the public money, and a careful guardian of the people's interests. Married Eight Times Instead of Four.

Fact* Going to Show that the Asaanination Was Premeditated, and Plans Carefully Laid Therefor. W*^^ To the Editor of the Moline Review. I have seen many articles of late from persons who pretend to know that J. Wilkes Booth conceived the idea of assassinating President Lincoln on the 14th of April, 1865, about noon,having been informed that the President and Gen. Grant were to appear at Laura Keene's benefit at Ford's Theatre that evening. I oppose any such idea gaining credence, unless Booth had an army of as- sistants, and will briefly, with your permis- sion, state my reasons for thinking so. I reached Washington, with a piize cap tured by the United States steamer Mercury, under my command, on the 12th of April, 1865, and was busily engaged with the prize officers arranging for the condemnation of the prize. Walking down Pennsylvania avenue, and when near Ford's Theatre,on the night of the 14th,I saw a squad of sol diers on the donble-quick, and learned from the non-commissioned officer's in charge that President Lincoln had been shot. I at once hastened to the theatre, and found that the President had been removed to the house of a Mr. Peterson, across the street from the theatre, there were only half-a-dozen lights burning, and, seeing H. B. Phillips, an actor of my acquaintance and ono of the company, standing upon the stage, I walked down the centre aisle and got upon the stage. He re lated the whole story to me, and I paced the distance from where Booth landed upon the stage to his place of exit, where his horse stood in charge of a boy, and found the dis tance to be thirty-nine paces. I also ob served that the route selected by him to escape was clear of all obstructions, which first impressed me with the idea that he had assistance from the members of the company or stage-hand3, which proved to be the fact, for Spangler, the stage-carpenter, was con victed and imprisoned as an accomplice in the murder. Returning to the 6tage, a man named Kent, who had been engaged searching the box, informed us upon the stage that he had found the pistol with which the bloody deed was done. The actors requested him to sur render it to my keeping, which he agreed to do if I would come up into the box. I jumped off the stage and hurried up the centre aisle, and, as I came out by the ticket office, I saw Miss Laura Keene held by Mr. Ford's brother with an arm around her waist. She was gesticulating and calling on the crowd to search for Booth, the murderer. As I passed her to go up stairs she caught hold of my coat and endeavored to detain me, and it was with some difficulty I suc ceeded in getting away from her. Beaching the dress-cirele, in a few minutes I was in the President's box, where the bloody tragedy had been enacted. Upon reaching the box, I found Mr. Kent (the gentleman who had found the pistol) in the right-hand corner of the box Mr. Gobright, the agent of the Associated Press and an actor named Spear if my memory serves me,considerably under" the influence of liquor. A few mo ments later, the chief of the Washington po lice reached the box, and he requested me to aid him in searching the box, to see what could be found. The pistol, a single barreled Deringer, was placed in his hands, and, after Spear had procured us a candle, the search began. The chief held the candle I was upon my knees, and Mr. Gobnght making notes of our discoveries. The first thing I found was a button, torn off of Booth's coat in his struggle with Maj Rathburn, a shirt button, an empty opera-glass case, and the President's silk hat heavily dressed in mourn ing. While upon the floor, in looking up, I noticed a hole through the panel of the first box-doora3 the gas was lit in the passage leading from the dress circle to the stage boxes. I at once eipre&std the opinion that the bullet must have passed out there. The microscope of the chief of police was at once brought into into requisition, aiid it was discovered that it was a spy hole cut from the outside, to cover the position of the occupants of the box.. We then went outside in the passage-way, and found that the door leading from the dress-circle had been barricaded from the inside, by remov ing the plasteiing so that a board could be placed across to prevent any interference by the servant who was stationed outside this door. After getting into the passage the door was barricaded, Booth, looking through the hole cut in the first box-door (the two boxes having been made one by taking down the petition), could easily see the position of the President. Openinc the inner door he passed behind the President and shot him behind the left ear. Major JEtathburn endeavored to hold the assassin but he stabbed the major in this arm with a bowie-knife and leaped upon the stage, and succeeded in making his escape. Now, sir, do the cleared stage for his exit, the hole cut in the stage door, the barricade behind the door leading to the boxes, show that it was conceived in a moment, and done as prompt ly as conceived? I think not. And the facts I have mentioned here, with others known to me, would, I think, ampl- prove my statement. WILLIAM G. MoBBifc. DISRAELI'S PROPHECY.

[Question, question.] About that time, 6ir, when the bell of our cathedral announced the death of the monarch[Oh, oh! and much laughter]we all read then, sir[groans and cries of Oh!]we all then read[laughter and great interruption]I know nothing which to me is more delight ful than to show courtesy to a new member, particularly if he happens to appeal to me from the party opposite to myself. [Hear, hear.] At that time we read that it was the death knell of Toryism, that the doom of that party was sealed, that their funeral ob sequies were about to be consummated. [Laughter.] We were told that with the dissolution of that much-vilified ParLa ment which the Right Honorable Baronet had called together the hopes and prospects of the Tories would be thrown forever to the winds[laughter] and that affairs were again brought exactly to what they were at the period when the hurried Mr. Hudson rushed into the Chambers of the I do not un- himself particularly, because I remember that, shortly afterward, the noble Lord, as if to check the new and sanguine expectations of his followers, came forward with a manifesto informing them that the Tories could not ex pire in a moment, but the Ministry in a Reform Parliament might depend upon having a working majority of 100, which was to be extended upon great occasions to 125 and 130. Now, sir, [Question, question],this is the question, and I am going to ask the noble lord ir our instruction, fOh, oh! and great interruption.] We only wish to know this simple fact, whether the great occasion on which the working majority was to in crease from 100 to 125 or 130 is upon the question of an election ballot,[Cheers and groans],and whether the Grenville act has not been given forth to the people that it is impossibl% that an impartial tribunal can be obtained in this house? [Oh, oh! Question, question.] If honorable members think it is fair thus to interrupt me, I will submit. [Laughter, and cries of go on.] But I beg simply to ask 7- [Oh! and lond laughter.J Nothing is so easy as to laugh. [Roars of laughter.] I really wish to place before the house what is our position. When we remember all thiswhen we remember all that, in spite of the support of the hon orable gentlemen, the member for Dublin, and his well-disciplined phalanx of patriots, and, in spite of all this, we rememher the amatory eclogue [roars of laughter], the old loves and new iove3 that took place between the noble Lord, the Tityrus of the treasury bench, and the learned Daphne of Liskeard [loud laughter, and cries of Question], which appeared as a fresh instance of the amoris redintegrntio [excessive laughter],when we remember at the same time that, with eman cipated Ireland and enslaved England, on the one hand a triumphant nation, on the other a roaming people, and notwithstand ing the noble Lord, secure on the pedestal of power, may wield in one hand the key of St. Peter, and Here the honorable member was interrupted with such loud and incessant bursts of laughter that it was im possible to know whether he really closed sentence or not. The honorable member concluded in these words: Now, Mr. Speaker,we seethe philo sophical prejudices of man. [Laughter and cheers.] I respect cheers, even when they come from the lips of political opponents. [Renewed laughter.] I think, sir [Hear, hear, and repeated cries of question, ques- tion.] I am not at all sur prised, sir, at the reception which I have received.

The" honorable member delivered the last sentence in a very loud tone and resumed his seat amidst cheers from the opposition and much laughter from the ministerial benches.
