Departed this life on the 12th inst, Mrs. F A. ELLIOTT, in the 84th year of her age
 Mrs. Elliott was born in Chesterfield county Va. In the year 1900 she removed to Ken lucky, and thence to Missouri. During the last twenty years she resided in this place.
 Her friends had long looked for her death- Loving her life with that natural instinct, which seems to grow with our years and strengthen with our infrmities, she felt assured that death would be happy release from toil helpless ness and pain, and therefore longed for its ap- preach. She often expressed surprise that she had lived so long-sad she was stranger and a pilgrim on the earth, but would not be a stranger in heaven, so many dear friends hav- ing entered it before her.
 Her piety was sincere, scriptural, unostenta- tious and cheerful She could reflect with hon. est pride, and much satisfaction on long, la- borous and most useful life. But in the sight of God, and in view of eternity her only hope was in Christ Jesus. She reposed with child like confidence in the promises of God. With one of old, she could say-I know that my Re deemer liveth and though after my skin worm. destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I sec God. Holding the same precious faith-oul only consolation in trouble, and our only hope in death, we expect to meet her, where death sorrow and pain are unknown, where the body shall be clothed with immortal vigor, and the spirit, radiant and pure, shall evermore raise the hallelulahs, of the blessed, and rejoice in Sa viour's love. Happy peroid! Lord hasten it Come Lord Jesus-cOme quickly

Cuba's Wrongs.

The briefest and best exposition we have yet seen of the outrages suffered by the oppressed Cubans, may be found in the extract we give below, taken from late publication by resi- dent of the Island, the tyranny exercised upon suffering people by this despotic monarchy the exactions and cruelties inflicted upon these people can find no parallell in modern history, or among nations protesting to be civilized.
 The indignation of every manly heart must be reused by such enormities, and if these down trodden millions will but resort to arms for freedom and their rights, thousands stand ready to flock to their standard:
 "She is permitted no voice in the Cortes; the press is under the vilest censorship farmers are compelled to pay ten per cent, on all their har- vest except sugar, and on that article two and half per cent; the island has been under mar tial law since 1925; over $23, 100000 of taxes are levied upon the inhabitants to be squander- ed by Spain; ice is monopolized by the govern ment; flour is so taxed as to be inadmiSsible, a creole must purchase license before he can in- vite few friends to take cupof tea at his board; there is stamped paper, made legally necessary for special purposes of contract, cost ing eight dollars per sheet no goods either in or out of doors, can be sold without license, the natives of the island are excluded entirely from the army, the judiciary, the treasury, and the customs.

A Case without a Parallel.

We have already announced the appoint ment of John McClintock as naval officer at Portsmouth, New Hampshire From the Jour nal of that place, we take the following:
 Capt. McClintocks term of office expires un. der his old appointment this day, and on Mon- day next he enters on his ninety fourth year. and on the discharge of the duties of his new four years commission. A parallel case of an appointment to responsible office of one who is of that advanced age and of physical abilities to discharge its duties cannot probably be found at the present time in the world or in past his- tory since the Christian era
 Capt. John McClintock was born on the 18th day of August, 1761. He was the son of the Rev. Dr. Samuel McClintock, of Greenland, who was chaplain in the army of the revolu- ton and at the battle of Bunker Hill. That patriotic clergyman may be seen represented in the engraving of the battle, in his ministerial bands, near the spot where Gen. Warren lies wounded. John McClintock, at the age of about sixteen, entered the service in the private armed ship Alexander, of twenty guns At the age of seventeen he was masters mate. and was entrusted with conducting prize into the West lndieS He remained in the service four years lacking one month but, not being in any public ship, he received no pension for revolu- tonary services.
 Capt. McClintock has, in the course of his long life, experienced various vicissitudes, but has enjoyed uninterrupted good health from childhood and Is now as vigorous as men gene rally are at two-thirds his age He takes as much interest in the passing affairs of the times as any around us. We met him in the Athe- naum early one morning the present week, pe- ruslnS the various papers on thestands Speak ing of his appointment, he said: Some may regard me as old and worn out, and the office gwen to me as a mere sinecure. But such is not the case. For fue gears / haue neuer been obsent from atteding to the duties 0f office but one day, Olnter or summer" That day his health was good, but 1t was in a severe storm, which shut up people generally. He writes clear and smooth hand, without any tremuousness All the accounts of the custom house go under his personal examination. Although engaging his constant care, the emoluments of the office last year were less than four hundred dollars He Is grateful for it. for, he says, at his time of life there are not many kinds of business to which he can give his attention.
 Ii there ever was an occasion when the peo- pie Of all parties can unite in rejoicing at the appointment of man to office, it is in the pre- sent favorable attention President Pierce has paid to our aged and deserving citizen Let the flags be displayed and the guns fired, when he enters his office on Monday next.

The Calm of Death.

IHe moon LOOKS calmly down, when man IS dylng
 The earth still holds her way; Flowers breathe their perfume and the words keep
 signing,
 None seem to pause or stay"
 Clasp the hands meekly over the still breast, they've no more work to do. Close the weary eyes, there's are no more tears to shed; part the damp locks, there's no more pain to bear Clos ed is the ear alike to loves kind voice an calumnys stinglng whispers.
 Oh, if in that still heart you have ruthlesslv planted a thorn; if from that pleading eye you have turned carelessly away; if your loving glance and kindly word and clasping hands have come all too late, then God forgive you! No frown gathers on the marble brow as you gaze-no scorn curles the chiselled lip-no flush of wounded feeling mounts the blue-ven- ed temples.
 God forgive you! for your feet too must shrink appalled, from deaths cold river-your fatering tongue asks, "Can this be death?''-- Your fading eye fingers lovingly on the sunny elrth; your clammy hand yields its last faint pressure; your sinking pulse gives its feeble hutter.
 Oh, rapacious grave! yet another victim fol

Important Mistake.

The following story was recently told us al the time as being "too good to be lost:"
 A reverend brother in "down East' State was brought in an ecclesiastical council to an- swer some grave charge of immoral and unchris- tion practice. He assumed an air of indigna- tion and "injured innocence" at the allegation, and went personally to his friends in the pa rish, inviting them to come to the trial, and see for themselves how virtue could triumph over malignant prosecution.
 The day of trial at length came. The church was crowded, and the examination of W illnesses began. As the case advanced, fact after fact of the most damning character was brought out in the testimony: and when the whole evidence was all in, the defendant rose up and said-" confess that the character of the testimony ad- duced on the trial, as it has advanced, has some what staggered me in the belief of my inno- cence, and now that it is summed up have come to the conclusion that have been anastaken And on the whole, think you will be doing simple justice in turning me out of the church and you can do it as soon as you please"

D1ed-In this city on 3d inst, GEORGE WAINWRIGHT, infant son of Richard and Filler Norah Bragg, aged 10 months
 In Monroe county, Ark on the evening oi the 5th inst, after short, but painful spasmo' die illness, WILLIAM CLARENCE, eldest son o1 C. W. and B. P. Baldwin, aged -four years, six months and thirteen days.
 Ever thus from Hymeneal's hour
 We've seen our fondest hopes decay,
 We never loved tree or flower,
 But twas the first to fade away.
 The prints of his tiny feet left in his childish gambols were not erased, before he was seized by the fell-destroyer. Oh! God! truly we can- not fathom thy mysterious ways
 Tread lightly, whisper lowly; do not, oh do not disturb the sweet slumbers of thrice well come death to him, whose life after being bruis- ed and fayed to death by cruel disease, the body was tossed, gaSping, trembling into the open jaws of Death. Why not, oh, why not have stolen him away on the wings of sweet dreamy slumbers What divine law did his little tongue ever defame? What sacred ground did his tiny playful foot, ever intrude?
 The favorite of his playmates the adoration of his elders. To know him was to love him. Oh! why this cruel, cruel blow. Just as the admired bud was beginning to unfold its sweet leaves, rich with promise, 1t was removed by a hand too jealous of his coveted love on earth, and transplanted in another world
 We loved our boy, how much, the cankering sore on our wounded hearts alone can tell.
 Leaves have their time to fal
 And flowers to wther at the north winds breath
 And stars to set; but all
 Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o Death.
 BY PARENT. City papers please copy.
 Suddnenly of convulson, in Desha county, on the Sd inst, MARY JANE EFT GEORGIA daugh- ter of P. and A. J. Graves, aged years and eight months.
 It is seldom we are called upon to record the death of one of such tender age, so lovely and interesting as Georgia the idol of her parents, and the universal favorite of their friends and kindred.
 We truly sympatize with them in their deep sorrow, and bitter as may be the grief of the afflicted parents, it is consolation for them to know that they can exclaim in the language of Burns:
 My child, thou art gone to the home of thy rest, " here suffering no longer can harm ye, Where the songs of the good, where the hymns of
 the blest.
 Through an endless existence shall charm thee"

STREET PREACHING.-The New York E,

STREET PREAcHING.-The New York Ex- press gives the following description of Snn- day street preaching scene in the Park:
 Our attention was called on Sunday as we passed through the Park to the noisy cheers of the great mass of people congregated there, and secondly to the divided multitude. On the right ot the City Hall steps there was an Ame- rlcan citizen haranguing for Protestantsm and George Washington with all his might and on the left, to an audience two-thirds as large. an lrshman was haranguing for Romansm and the Pope. The foreigners and Americans were about equal in number in the centre of the hall, one row of faces being turned northward, and the other, like the followers of the faithful Ma hommed, to the East. Now the Americans would cheer as some pat American sentiment was uttered-and now the Irish and most bais- terously, as good Irsih joke was told, Native American hit, or thePope defended. The zeal on both sides was at fever heat, and we mar yelled and admired to see the multitude com paratlvely quiet as the tide of passion and feel ing rolled from the vehement speakers The voices of the two orators intermingled with each other, and so did the shouts and groans of the two parties. The Pope and the church. the Bishop and the priesthood, St. Patrick and St. Peter found most Jealous disciple in the man on the east corner. While Washington and America Protestantism and godlness were as warmly defended on the other hand
 But the whole exhibition presented to us a sorry sight. The cheers and the groans, the bad passions and ill-natured discussions, the absence of everything like the true spirit of re- hglon, presented spectacle which it was most painful to contemplate. The cause of rational liberty and true religion, we fear is most deeply injured by such Sabbath-day exhibitions. The only satisfaction they can be said to afford, is a vindication of free discussion and demonstra- ton of the ability of both followers of the Pope and of the Protestant church to come within arms length of each other, and while cursing each other in their hearts to refrain from knocking each other down with their fists We confess to much admiration to this latter spirit of self-control

charged exorbitantly. Newspapers from abroad, with few exceptions, are contraband. Letters passing through the post are opened, and purg- ed of thoir contents before delivery. Fishing on the coast is forbidden, being government monopoly. Planters are forbidden to send their sons to the United States for educational pur- poses. The slave-trade is secretly encouraged by government. No person can remove from one house to another, without first paying for a government permit. All cattle (the same as goods) that are sold, must pay six per cent. of their value to government; in short, every pos sible subterfugeis resorted to by the government officials to swindle the people, everything being taxed and there is no appeal from the decision of the captain-gen sral."
