 DEAD.


 DEAD. Gone, heeting with the whirlwind, Gone, rushing with the river, Gone out into the darkness Forever and forever! Gone, as the sunlight closes, Gone, as the starlight bales. Gone, as the fair flowers wither!s Gone, as all beauty fails! Oh, heart, thy hopes are vainer Than wind or rushing tide, More tleeting than the morning mist That skirts the mountain side. We'll! let the dead be buried, And let the past be past! This world is but meteor Life cannot al,oays last. Then may the days fleet faster Than wind or rivers fowl! God send us the Hereafter, God rest the Long Ago! Cairo, April 25th. REWARD WnLErr.

The Election-What has Become of Black
 Republicanism in Missourio

The general result of the election in this State has been ascertained, and it may we'll be stated in brief
 Thos. l.. Anderson is elected to Congress by 4,5OO majority over Henderson.
 Jas. Craig beats his opponent Adams, 4,OOO votes.
 John B. Clark walked over the course in his district, nobody having the temerity to oppose him.
 John s. Phelps is, there is every reason to believe, reelected by decided majority beat ing John s. Richardson
 Noell beats Zeigler largely in Caruthers' dis trict
 Blair is beaten by Barret in this district and Samuel H. Woodson is returned in the fifth district by decided majority over Gen. Reid.
 The details of the election for the State Leg islature are not less satisfactory. Both branches will have clear majority ofnational democrats, with sprinkling of Americans, and some few who have been elected as Union men," but not one of whom can. be properly classed as black republicans, or emancipationsts. Dr. Sitton, of Gasconade, occupies the proud position of being the only black republican in either house of the legislature! Was ever party so completely overwhelmed and destroyed? Every man up- on whom taint of suspicion rested. or even if the black republicans volunteered their support to candidate was marked and voted down. This has been done to show the feeling of Mis- sourl on this question, and to deter desperate politicians from introducing it into our elections hereafter.--& Louis Republican

Examining a Witness.

Everybody knows Mr. R., the rather success !ai criminal lawyer of Philadelphia, says the Mercury, and the peculiar tact with which he usually succeeds in eliciting the truth from a witness. lie, once in while, however, meets with queer customer, with whom he can do nothing whatever. Such one turned up be- fore committing magistrate, on Thursday last.
 MT. Doyle was complained of for keeping dsorderly house in Shipper street. The complainant engaged R. to attend to his case and put Doyle through course of sprouts-- The first witness examined was Cornelius O. Neil. We give his examination by R.
 Do you know the defendant, Doyle?''
 "Niver man better"
 "What kind of house does he keep?"
 "A brick house."
 "I don't mean that, what are his peculiari- tics?"
 1.-Two stories, with back kitchen that joins out to McGarry's fence" " You still misunderstood me; l wish to Know the reputation of the house. Is it good or bad?'
 Bad intirely." k. called the attention of the court to this answer, and desired the magistrate to take a note The magistrate did so. w hat do you mean when you say the repu- tation of this house IS bad?''
 "That it has the devils own chimney, and a roof that leaks like sive"
 "You still misunderstood me, ONeil. Let us try again. What kind of people visit the house?"
 Men and women principally; at least that's the only kind I ever met there"
 "Well, what kind of women are they?"
 Female women, as near as l could iudge"
 "Well, what is their character?"
 "Only one of them has the article"
 The court will please note that Only one of the females has a character. And which one is that?'
 "A lady by the name of McShane"
 "She you think, has character?'
 Think! l know it, saw it on last Mon day"
 "Saw what?'
 Her character. It was written by Father Daley with good pen"
 You still persist in misunderstanding me- Let Us try once more. Have you ever seen women of the town at Doyle's?''
 No, sir. not of the town, but raft of them from the country"
 By women of the town, O'Neil, I mean common, vicious women.''
 "W hat do ye say?'
 "l say bad women. Have you ever seen such women drinking and dancing at Doyles?''
 "Ah! musha! listen to that! An is it the likes of Doyle that would allow such people to misuse his shop? By the powefs,ef Cromwell, if his boy Mick was here, but he'd twist yer nose till ye could use it for gimlet!"
 "But-"
 "Arrah! go away wid ye, ye black guard, to say that of daicint men, If it were not for molestng the court, I'd peel me coat and make founder of ye in less time than donkey could eat a thstle.''
 Here ONei became so excited, that R. told him that he could stand aside to make room for the next witness.
 The case resulted in a verdict of acauittal.
