This book is all that's left me now -
Tears " i'll unbiddcn start
With falterimg lip and throbbing brow,
l press it to my heart.
For many generations passed,
Here is cur family tree
My mothers hands this bible claspcd-
She, dying, gave it mo.
All well do | remember those
Whose names these records bear:
Who round the hcarth-stonc used TO clos,
Afl er the evening prayer,
And speak of what these pages said,
In terms my heart would thrill -
Though they arc with the silent dead,
Here arc they living still a.
My f4ther read this holy book
T. brothers. sisters dear
How calm was my poor mothers look.
Who learned Gods word to hear
H,r angel face-I see it yet.
What ihropging memories come!
Again that little group is met
Within the halls of home
Thou trucst friend man ever knew,
Thy constancy Eve tried;
When all were false, | found thee true,
My counselor and guide.
The mines of earth no treasures give
That could this volume buy
In teaching me The nay TO live,
Ii taught me how TO die.

THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.

Having given currency to the rumor that
changes in the Cabinet were possibly near at
hand, we copy with pleasure the following ar
ticles from Tuesdays 'Madisonian.' 1t al.
pears to speak with authority:
"TuE AGITAToRs-There are those who
think it to be their interest to keep up per-
petual apprehension of variable purposes, Of
political discussions, Or of personal disagree
ments between the President and his Cabinet,
or between the gentlemen Of the Cabinet
themselves. All this is for purposes of mischief
All this is to produce distraction, confusion,a land
sort of despair, in the public mind.
''We have been requested to state that there
is not the slightest foundation for such rumor,
or any part of it. The Cabinet is united on
all the great measures submitted to Congress,
or explained and enforced in the reports of the
several heads of Departments. Those reports
show the platform of public measures, on which
the President and the Administration intend to
stand. 1t remains to be seen how far Congress
will carry out those measures, or whether it will
carry them out at all /; or indeed, whether it
will adopt any measures, such as the exigen-
cies of the country call for. This is matter
for its own consideration. The great reck-
onlng is not to he between Congress and the
President, but between Congress and the Peo-
pie. In the mean time, let no man, in or out
of Congress, deceive himself, or attempt to de
ceive others, that changes in the Administra-
ton will bring about any new state of things !;
and especially we ask the People of the United
States not to be diverted,by rumors. by schemes
and contrivances for agitation, by totally false
cries of dissension and rupture, from that steady
and earnest, and anxious attention to what is
doing and what is likely to be done, in Con-
gress, which at the present moment ought TO
fill the heads ofevery citizen. 1t is for Congress
alone, TO relieve the country. The power is
theirs; the duty is theirs and theirs be the re-
sponsibiity."

BoNAPARTE's GENERALS At THE SOUTH
A. B. Meek, Esq. in an able address before
he University of Alabama, mentions the inte-
resting fact, that after the Battle of Waterloo,
and the downfall of Napoleon, several of his
distinguished Generals and companions came
to America and received from Congress, on
the Sd of March, 1917, grant of lands in Al
ALBANIA, the conditions of the grant being that
the emigrants should cultivate the vine upon
one acre in each quarter section, and the OIL
i've upon another and at the end of fourteen
years should pay the General Government two
dollars an acre for a fee simple title to the land.
Among the grantees was Marshall Grouchy,
the hero of Linden, and the present Minister
of Var for France Gen, Lefebvre Desnouit-
tes, Duke of Dantzic, and Marshal and Peer
Of France, who had distinguished himself in
all the great battles of Napoleon Gen. Count
Clausel, Gen. Count Real, and two Generals
AlIersand, and Generals Vandamme, Lakanal,
Penniers, and GARNER de Suintes; with num-
Der of subordinate officers
They settled upon the Tombecbee river, in
what is now Marengo county. the name which
they gave to their colony, in honor of the cele-
brated battle of Marengo.

tleman travelling through that section in 1919,
which is between Arcola (another Celebrated
battle name) and Eagleville, ''do you know,
sir, who is that fine looking man. who Just fer.
ried you across the creek 2" "No-who is he?.''
was the reply. "That, sir" said the citizen,

TEE HoRRIBLE TRAGEDY IN WISCONSIN.

ice HORRIBLE tragedy IN WISCONSIN.
4 letter from our Correspondent at Galena,
III. dated Feb. 18th. after giving full particu-
lars of the murder of Hon. c. C. P. ARNDT by
James R. Vineyard or the floor of the Legisla-
tive Council at Madison, (Which Is anticipated
by the account which reached us yesterday, }
gives the following farther intelligence.
At the late accounts from Madison the das-
tardly perpetrator of this fend-like and afro
cious outrage was undergoing preliminary
examination. He was defended by Col. A. P.
FIELD, the Secretary of the Territory, formerly
the Secretary of the State of Illinois, and long
distinguished as one Of our most eloquent and
able LAWYERS. The excitement was very great
against Vineyard, for by this lawless act he
has deprived society of high-minded, honora-
Die and virtuous citizen, and the Council of
the Territory of one of its brightest ornaments,
besides bringing ineflabIe disgrace upon the
Legislative Council, and shocking and outra-
ging the moral sense of the whole community.
Arndt was young man of great promise,
and a lawyer at Green Bay. 1t is said his
father was present in the Council Chamber
when his son was shot.
Vineyard resides at PlatevIlle. Grant Coun-
ty, twenty-five miles from this city, and is well
known here as a most reckless and unprinci-
pied man. He was one of the original propri-
etors of the town of Pateville and man of
considerable property. 1t is strange that so
respectable county as Grant should have CIV.
er so disgraced herself as to send such an un-
mitigated BLACKBOARD to the Legislative Coun-
