We publish in our columns this morn
ing an advertisement of Mr.. w. Il. Con-
NELIUs, the Government 5ndertaker at
this point. Mr. G. has filled this respon-
sible position for eighteen months past,
and has discharged lis duties TO the sat-
isfaction Of the government, and to all
who have, in any manner, been concern
ed. lie is always prepared TO furnish
metallic burial cases of the most sp-
proved kindS, plain or ornamental cof-
fins, and TO attend to the burial of de-
ceased soldiers here, or TO transporting
their remains to any place in the United
States, as he may be employed lie will
take charge of their remains at Steven
son, TullahOms, Murfreesboro,' Shelby
vile, or this place.
Parties who may wish the body of
relative or friend embalmed, have but 10
notify Mr.. Cornelius Of the fact, and he
will have it done promptly and in the
most enduring manner. We saw yester-
day the body of poor soldier, who had
volunteered to fight in defence of his
country, but who, overtaken by disease
had died in one of the army hospitals
and it appeared although embalmed two
weeks ago, as fresh as if The vital spark
had just fed from it. When the body
arrives at home, his friends will not be
shocked by disfgured and partially
decomposed corpse. There viii be some
comfort in that, amidst the sorrows of
their bereavement 0ne of the chief ad-
vantages of embalming is its economy as
the embalmed body can be transported
to any distance in the cheapest wooden
coffin as securely as in the metallic case.
This is consideration which ought not
to be overlooked.
The UNION circulates largely in alltle
Western States, amongst the relations
and friends of the noble Army Of the
Cumberland We can commend Mr..
Cornelius to them as gentleman of the
strictest integrity, who will exeeute with
despatch and faithfully any business in
his line, that they may intrust to him
They have only to give him ineligible
orders, and there will be no failure on bis
part. Hundreds OF officers aud soldiers
Of the army in this section Of the State
who have awaited themselves of his SER
vices, will join us in these commendA-
tory remarks, which we make not moro
for the advantage Of worthy citizen
than for that Of those who may unforlu.

Origin of the Hapsburg Family.

The history of the imperial family of Aus
tria is striking illustration of how often
the greatest events are the offspring of acci-
dental causes. A count of Switzerland once
met, whilst on a sporting excursion, poor
priest on his way to administer the sacrament
to dying parishoner. His progress is ar
rested by brook, just at the moment when
the count with his retinue arrives. Respect
fully he offers his own horse to the priest,
humbly it is accepted, and the next day re-
turued. sGod forbid,n exclaims the count
to the messenger, 81 should ride a horse
again which carried my Saviour; bestow it
on the church and the priest" This poor
priest becomes the chaplain and the conf
dant of the Prince Elector of Mentz, and his
influence prevails on the first spiritual Prince
of Germany to propose the pious horse-lender
to the assembled electors of his empire. As
his military prowess promised to be useful at
a time when Germany was infested by num-
berless petty way-laying knights, and his
want of power gave no reason for jealousy, he
was accepted, and thus Rudolph, Count of
Hapsburg, became the first though least pow
erful monarch of Christendom. Though
wealthy count, he was poor prince. He had,
however, treasure in his daughters, which
he disposed of in that prudent way which en-
abled him, with the assistance of his princdly
sons-in law, to deprive 0ttocar, the king of
Bohemia, of Austria. This dukedom had
been seized, after the decease of the last
duke of the house of Badensburg, by Ottocar,
and was in vain demanded by Rudolph
Ottocar was twice defeated and his death on
the field of battle secured the family of Haps-
burg in the first possession of the archduke-
dom of Austria. His successors pursued the
quired by these means the kingdom of Bo-
hemia. Hungary, a number of smaller prov
inces, and, finally, the vast Spanish monar-
chy, till Charles V, the most powerful mon
arch of Europe, dared to aspire. three hum
dred years afterwards, to universal monarchy,
Without c distinguished character, without
even the love of those nations, and in spite of
continual revolts, this family not only extri
Gated itself from imminent dangers, but rose
from its frequent down falls more powerful
than before.

Infshail.

This island of Inishail is a long green pas
ture in the middle of Loeb Awe, of very
tame and quiet aspect, broken only by one
rocky eminence, crowned with few strag-
Cling frs. There is miserable patch of plan
tation on the eastern side which adds nothing
to its beauty, and ruin at the other end
surrounded by tombs, but the ruin has no
architectural value. The shore of the island
curves beautifully into bays. The island is
all one blue field of flowers, as if the sky had
fallen it is always so in spring; in Sum
mer it is covered with green fern; and in
Autumn, when the fern dies, it reddens the
whole island. This bit of pasture land would
be nothing anywhere else, but here it is re
markable for its admirable position. 1t is
placed in the very center of the most pictur.
esque part of Loeb Awe. From it you can
see Kilchurn Castle and Ben Cruachan, and
Ben Anea and the Pass of Awe. What Inis-
hail itself lacks of picturesque beauty is COM
pensated by the close neighborhood of the
Black Islands, as exq uiste pair Of wooded
isles as the moost fastidious artist could de.
sire. 1t has been inhabited before, long ago,
by a convent of Christian nuns. They were
turned out at the Reformation, and their poor
little chapel has been left for the winds to
sing in ever since. Not many stones are
left of it now, and its foundations lie low
amongst the moss-covered tombs of the old
chieftains. But the people bring their dead
here yet and lay them under the shadow Of
the broken walls, so that the island is land
of death, of utter repose and peace. Was il
not well for barbarous mountaineers to bury
their dead in lonely isles, where the foot Of
the marauder trampled not the grass on the
grave, and where the living came not, save
in sorrow, and reverently? The mainland
was for the living to fight upon: but this
green isle was the Silent Land, the Island Of
the Blest. Hither the chieftains came, gen
Grafton after generation, born solemnly acros.
the waters from the castled isles hither they
came to this defenseless one; where they
will sleep securely when their stronghold;
are roofless ruins; their claymores dissolved
in rust their broad lands that they fought
for all their lives, sold and resold and theil
descendants sent into exile to make desert
for English -shcoters.-P. G. Hama

Sucked Through.

Our readers will remember that some years
ago it was proposed to lay tube between
Boston and New York and send packages
through by exhausting the air and creating
n Vacuum. The scheme has been successful
in England.
On Monday, says the London Times, of
February 9th, the Postmaster General and
Sir Rowland Hill, the Secretary of the Post
office, officially inspected the working ar
fangsments Of the branch tube OF the pneu-
matte despatch which has been laid from
the Eastern Station to the Northwestern
Postoffce in Eversholt street, previous to the
transmission of the mails between the two
places mentioned the Postoffce authorities
having conceded the privilege to the Pneu-
matte Despatch Company. The working ar
raugements were thoroughly explained by
Mr.. Rammill the engineer, and trains of
cars were rapidly propelled backwards and
forwards through the tube. The cars con
tained heavy weights, being principally load
ed With stout planks, and ON the signal be-
ing given by Kheatstone's telegraph, they
were despatched to the other end of the tube,
with pressure at the disc, of about four
ounces, in few seconds over a minute-the
average up the incline being about one min
ute and twelve seconds. The mail bags. up
wards of 100 per day, will be blown through
the tube in 55 seconds to the Postoffce in
Eversholt street the usual time occupied by
the mail carts at present being about ten min
utes.
Two persons were conveyed on Monday,
in the presence of the Postofice authorities,
through the tube, and returned without ex-
periencing the slightest discomfort. Having
fully examined the operation of blowing the
cars from Enston, the visitors proceeded to
the station at the other end of the tube
This is situated underground beneath the
roadway of a small turning leading from
Eversholt street, and is close by the side of
the Northwestern District Postofice. Here
the interesting operation of sending the cars
back to Enston was explained by Mr.. Ram
mill, and twocars having been placed within
about a foot of the open tube, a vacuum was
created and they drawn with rush into the
tube, the small station reverberating with
noise of the retreating cars. On leaving,
both the visitors expressed their satisfaction
with the entire working of the system.
