The DEAD OF CoHGREss.-Tqle WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, has furnished a list of the mem
bers Of Congress, who died at Washington,
and were inferred in the Congressional bury
ing ground, about two miles eastward of
the Capitol. Tw~enty-tllree States are rep
resented in this silent city of the dead, by
the molderins dust Of ninety-seven Repre-
southwestern whose voices were ence
heard in the halls Of legislation, sustaining
the interests Of their country. Among
them, wastlle eloquent Pinckney, who died
a senator from Maryland, in 1922. In a
speech delivered ten years afterwards, Mr..
Wilde, of Georgia, alluded, in a beautiful
and impressive manner, to the distinguished
men whom he found in the House of Rep
resentatives in 1916, when he first became
a member of that body. Mr.. P:nckney was
one Of them.
''ltis not long since, (said Mr.. Wilde,) /
stood By his grave, and recalled him as he
then was, in all the pride and power Of his
genius. But ! must not pronounce his eulo-
gy. feel as if his mighty spirit still haunt
ed the scene Of his triumphs, and when |
dared to wrong them, Indignantly febuked
me-"
Within the last twelve months, many ad-
mirers Of genius and tasIe, have stood by
the tomb Of Richard Henry Wilde, in the
New Orleans cemetary! and recalled him
as he once was, the gifted poet, orator and
statesman.

Tia Aewsraikas blpaned 80 fair pad sweet.
Along my path in earlier years,
Have faded now, and al my feet
No gem Of life's gay spring appcars.
Yet oft in dreams l tread again
Youths radiant pathway as Of yore,
But waking, find il all in vain
To dream OF flowers that bloom no more.
o, if some kindred spirits tears
Hal on those lovely flowers been shed,
They would have bloomed ia after ears,
And not a charm have waned or fed.
But sweetly gathering round ny path
In bright prOfusiOn, day by day,
They would have spurned the tempest'' wrath
And smiled beneath the summers ray.

THE CHOLERA-GOOD HINTS,

THE CHOLERA-GOOD HINTS.
The following suggestions are from gen.
tlsmen composing the Board of Medical
Advisers lately appointed at New York.
In the first place, they would advise par.
%ticular attention to clothing. From the
nature Of the complaint, it is evident tina,
tmuch depends upon keeping the body warm
and protecting it from sudden exposure to
cold and moisture. Flannel next the skin
should be a universal article Of apparel,
and they would respectfully suggest to
those charitable associations which are in
the habit Of supplying the poor with cloth
ing, to make this an object Of special atten-
ton. At this season Of the year, too, the
supply OF J"e! to the poor should be liber-
al.
In the second place, the diet should be
particularly attended to. The undersign-
ed would not advise any sudden or great
changes in the ordinary modes Of living,
where these modes are temperate and have
been found to agree. AL such articles as
have a tendency to relax the bowels ought
to be avoided. All crude and raw vegeta-
bles, a. well as violent purgstire medi-
cines, are calculated 70 do mischief. Ex-
I~cesses, either i'll eating or drinking, cannot
be too r~eligiously sbstained from.
In the third place; attention to personal
cleanliness, BY the frequent use Of the te-
.piid bath, is particularly recommended.
In the fourth place, the preservation Of a
calm and composed state of mind is all-im-
portant, and may do more good than is gen.
orally supposed in preventing the onset u
this disease. 1t is the result Of experience
that all epidemics are aggravated more or
less by mental disturbance, whether in the
shape Of active panic OF low dependency.
While our citizens, therefore, use every
prudential and precautionary measure, let
them keep up good hsort and dispel all
fear.
The CHoLERA.-Dr McCann, of Lon
don, whose treatment of this disease is re-
in Parliament to have been veryj
successful, says:

LINES AT MY SISTERS GRAVE.
BT MAJ. J. W. rArTEE, U.s.A.
Beside the dewy grave l pass,
a fresh and How'ry mound,)
Sunlight Is dancing on the grass,
And the red breast chirps around;
While from afar the eity,s hum ..
Steals gently on the ear;
And yet to me is nature dumb
Thy voice | cannot hear. ,
16S1 tol(rst NE from a distant land,
l ae'er should be forgot;
Icome--e'en at thy side ! stand
find yet thou heed'St me not.
Where are those accents which were heard
So oft on music's breath?
SISTER, Il hear no answering word,
Is this?-Yes! this is death!
Then Sister, had'st thou little strength
To tread life's thorny track;
So calmly dost thou sleep at length,
'Twere sin TO wish thee back.
The music of thy gentle tone,
Tho to my bosom dear,
And tho my heart was sad and lone,
would not have thee here.
For me is still life's stirring tide
The battle and the storm
The wave where warning navies ride
The field where squadrons formi
But tho with no long watch to keep
No dream at morn 10 tell
Freed one!---Thine is an envied slesp,
Sweet Sister! Fare the well:

THE HEART.

The little I have seen of the world and
known of the history of mankind, teaches
me to look upon the errors of others in sor-
row, not 10 anger. When I take the his

suffered, and represent to myself the strug-
giss and temptations it has passed through;
the brief ;Pulsation of Joy; the feverish in
quietude 81 hope and fear; the pressure Of

the world that has little charity, the desola-

81 We make the following extract from
the Jefferson City correspondent of the St.
Louis Union. 1t is with pride and salts
faction, as a Missourian, that we are per-
mitted to record such a compliment to the
State: ......
"Be it done to the credit and glory of
the city of J e~ferson-to the honor and men,
DRY of the present Assembly of the State,
that during these holy days, from the COM
meucement Of the session to the present
time, l have not seen the first man ~intoxics-
ted within the Halls of the Capitol! Yes
more than this-such q sight as q drunken
man | have not seen this session, in the
City Of JeGerson!!! At no period before,
perhaps, could the same have been said 10
e~xculpation of the general stigma thstrests
upon the memory Of the Capitol. I have
been daily in the Halls of both Houses and
through the various streets of the city, and
have looked for such a one ia. vain; and it
ID with pride and exultstion that ! tecoid
the fact. It speaks we'll for the Democra-
CT, and for the people of Missouri, that
her Representatives and Senators are So
Der men, and If at the end of the aessioa !
shall be able to repeat the same, from the
comnencement toths eaose, ] may challenge

CIRCULAR.

TIME UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
il political Weekly paper in the German Lam
guage, in the City Of Washington in support Of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj 1ayior came into power, and being DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
L. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2. The name of Democrats being the appelation
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, to
which all the Immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country
as soon as they arcade to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language
whose particular object and anxiety 1t is to use this
/ misappelation TO the best advantage.
3. Although there arc a few Wing papers III the
country, they bear principally local character
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat OF the
Wing party in their particular section.
A. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, arc accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprghtncss, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees
10 overcome prcjudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensons, and by it's own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over TO the Wing ranks.
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antci
pates satisfactory result.
