The GRAVE OF A STRANGER.-The grave of
stranger is holy ground. 1t is not so because his
hopes gone-that his friends who doated on
him are dsconsolate-or because a female bends
over his coffin, and watches the earth thrown in
upon it. No, this is not the reason it would be
difficult to explain why it is so. To witness the
slow procession-aw widow among strangers, laying
her earthly hopes in a place remote from friends
the mourning kindness Of neighbors, and to
hear the coincidence of piety-the blessing of an
aged and venerable clergyman, asking the assis-
lance and support of divine power; all these oc-
cufrences and scenes cannot but produce a SOL
emn effect.
And there may be friends at distance, wishing
and hoping for happy tdngs in relation to his
health. The anxiety which is occasioned by
sickness, cannot be confined by space. 1t is in
the air; it looks on the stars, wishing them to
tell what they know; it asks of the moon GO is
friend better 20 All this is easily conceived
But can the stars publish the truth? If the moon
could transmit news, how many hearts would beat
when it rises, and how many spirits sink ere it
goes down

Missouri JrsrIcE.-Mr. Jacob Cautril who lives
at Independence, Mo-, had the words "Kansas
Free Statc' painted on his wagon in large letters
This excited the Indignation of one Ohio Hall,
who jumped in the forward end of the wagon,
and attacked Cantril with knife. He was. how
ever, prevented from doing much injury to the
man, so he contcnted himself with cutting the
covering of the Wagon to pieces.-Cantril had
Hall arrested, and upon the trial it was fully prov
en- that Hall had threatened to kill Cantrii. The
Justice, however, examined Cantril as to his po-
1itical opinions, and finding him to be in favor of
keeping slavery out of Kansas. fined him $l3 and

New YORK, Jan. II, 1876.

New YORK, Jan. II, 1855.
SIR:-Thc Sabbath must be respected, and the
laws obcyed in this city. BY selling liquor on
that day you disregard both. Notwithstanding
the notice which was given to you by the Police
through my directions, you persist in keeping
open, or in selling liquor with closed doors. 1t
is not my wish to adopt stringent measures in
your case, if it be avoided, and it is my duty
TO advise you, that if found open selling liquor
again upon Sunday, shall resort to every legal
means at my command to close your establishment
for the sale of liquor, not only upon that day,
but for every other day in the week.
Your obcdent servant,
FERNANDO Woop, Mayor.

Grx. Scorr.-In contrasting the operation of

GEx. Scorr.-ln contrasting the operation of
the British General in the Crimca with the sue
cessful movements of General Scott in Mexico,
the New York Courier and Enquirer remarks:
When tho time for action arrived, the Ameri-
can army was debarked; stores landed, batteries
were planted within nine days after reaching Vera
Cruz. in spite OF n succession of violent '.north-
erS, and eight days afterwards General Scott
dispatched word to his Government that the Sc flag
of the United States floats in triumph over the
walls Of this city and the castle of San Juan dc
Ulloa ''-thc same wave washed and battle-scar-
red fortress which, in Europe, had been deemed
impresnablc. "To operate on the Gulf coast"
in this style was not sufficient for General Scott.
He scaled the CordlleraS, bore the eagle of his
country in quick succession through the streets of
Jalapa, Perote, and Pueba; with $500 men
swept, resistless, through the pass Of Ccrro Cor
do, defended by 1850 Mexicans-with the same
number of men defeated $4,000 at Contreras and
Cherubusco-with 1880 men stormed Chapulte-
pee, defended by 20,000-wi,h 5000 men took
the city of Mexico, occupied by an army of 3d..

done; he saved his soldiers. lie threw not q life
away that could be saved, and applied every pos
sib,e means that could secure the health and COM
fort of his men. Performing his campaign at
the sichly season of the year, penetrating into the
very heart of the enemy's country through crowd
ed cities ana over mountain activities, he vet
subjected his men to not one tenth of the suffering
and lost not ore-tcnh many of them by disease
as Lord Raglan has done while encamped within
six miles of the sea. He poured out no 5ood
for a fruitless victory like that of Alma he an
initiated no regiments of his own by fatal order
like that at Innkerman. He did not leave his SOL
diers to become tattered like savages, famished
like dogs. In fact there is 10 doubt this side of
the water that the American Commander deserves
his guerdon quite we'll, to say the least, as the
British, and Congress but reflects the sentiment
of the people in recog nizing this truth. There is
difference between a trained administrator at
the desk and an able general in the field; and that
is Just the difference between Lord Raglan and
Winfield Scott.

LOLA MoNrEs.-I visited to-day the Countess,

apparently cosy life surrounded by her pet birds,
dogs, pigs, goats, sheep, hens, turkies, ducks
and her pony. The later seems to be favoritc
with Lola, and he is her companion in all her
mountain rambles. Surely it is a strange meta

familiar, finally settled down at home in the noun
