NEW YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1874
THE SAME OLD COON.
Away MoURNFuL ELEGv.
Dedicated 10 the Melancholy wings


Dedicated TO the Melancholy wings.
TUrx-"Oi Grimes"
The coon is dead-that same old coon,
We ne'sr shall see him more;
A long fur coat oil notified grey,
Upon his back he wore.
He used to roam about the States,
To barbecues and shows;
He had two ears upon his head,
Aud smellers on his nose.
At routs and meetings, day and night.
His aid was e'er ia store;
He sat sometimes upon tree,
Sometimes beside tho door.
But death, which comes TO all, at last
Came to this same old coon;
Among Jersey blues he caught cold,
And fell down In swoon. -
A gentle breeze from Msryland's shore,
Revived his hopes awhile,
And they who watched him. say that DER
His face there passed smile.
The last that eer lit up his eye
For from the Keyston, then
A,warning voice broke on his ear,
And he smiled not again.
But raising up his long thin face,
He whispered faint and low,
"Oh, bear me to my native land,
wy uatlv6 " III "
He spoke no more, but straightway fell
Into another awoon;
So fearful were the boding thoughts.
That cane 10 this old coon.
Atlength the broad Ohio passed,
Meath an October sky;"
Under spreading buck eye tree
They laid him down to die.
They conveyed him to the Empire State,
And round him raised their host,
But found that here we'd sealed his late;
He then gave up the ghost"
Sadly around him closed his friends.
Not gold nor art might save
And he who was 10 mighty once,
Now Ellis raccoon's grave!
Mourn for the coon-the same old coon
His triumphs all are DER
Mourn for the coon-"that same old coon.n
We ne'er shall see him more !
THE NEW JERSEY STAR.
New Jerseys brightest star shall shine
In one eternal day,
With old Kentucky's noble son,
The matchlsss Harry Clay.
What gem-begirted orb 10 that
Which still so fast is iisingl
IT'S Freedoms polar star
It's Theodore-'tis Frelinghuysen.
And yet the Locos' hate
Il strong as deadly poison
Against bold Henry Clay
And good old Frelinghuysen.
Now, Locos all, both hords and softs,
Az Democrats ye are but dwarfs;
Heard ye not the people say,
Clear the way Tor Henry Clsy3
Get out Of my sight,
Ye are but poison
So, clear the track
For Frelinghuyssn!

Aud clouds on their horizon.
Which threaten, as they gather black.
To sweep from of the open track,
Both Clay and Frelinghuysen
So rouse yourselves, 20 Democrats
And with up-lifted hearts and hats,
Rise up in Freedoms ray,
And like the thunder storm that rolls,
Drive back to their oblivious holes,

against the Island OF Cuba in general, on account
of the insaubrity of lis climate and unsettled state
of some portions of ts northern and western dis

of many foreigner, and making it difficult, as
have found to procure northern aborers at reason
able prices, for the valuable copper mines in this
province, and causing others to refrain from the
profitable investment OF capitalization me to state,
through the widely circulated columns OF your
Herald that there has been the least disturb
ance among the blacks of this part OF the Island,
and that the climate IN this section, is, may al
most say, unequalled for salubrty In fact, during
my long stay here, | have had occasion to notice
the death of only ttCo strangers, of whom was
a lovely and accomplished daughter of late Gov
ernor OF Upper Canada, and the other an esimabe
gentleman from New Jersey. The former came to
the country with deepseated consumption, of which
she died truly lamented though amid strangers,
and the latter was extraordinarily plethorc man
to whom slight over-exeron and exposure proved
fatal. have the honor to remain,
