As in his life, this m an, in death, is ours;
His own loved prairies FER his gaunt gn arled han ds
Have ftly drawn their sheet of Summer fowersl
What need hath he now of tardy crown,
His name from mocking jest and sneer to saver
When every ploughman turns his furrow down
As soft as though it felt upon his grave. .r
He was man whose like the world again
Shall never see, TO vex with blame or praise;
The landmarks that attest his bright. brief reign
Are battles, not the pomp Of gala-daysl #......

The nations yalty ia tears upsprngs;
Through him the soil OF labor shines henceforth
High o'sr the silken br,ideries Of kings.
The me cha = nism Of external forms
The hrifs that court put tn cir bodies through
Were alien ways to him.--hi. brawny arms
Had other work than posturing to do!
Born Of the people, well he knew to grasp
The wants and wishes Of the weak and small;
Therefore We hold him with no shadowy clasp
Therefore his name is household to us all.
Therefore we love him with a love apart "..
From any fawnng love of pedgree-

Not the poor outward shows or royalty. .

The Herald's Havana correspondent
says of the escape of breckenridge and
his party, that these worthless were all near
jeff. Davis when he was captured, but
managed TO escape the national troops and
travelled across the States of Georgia and
Florida TO the coast where they secured
small boat and put To sea, arriving at Car
dinas on the llth inst, after three days and
nights passed almost without eating or
sleeping. At Cardinas they were serena
ded and received marked attention from
the Spanish Governor and people. They
expected to remain in Havana for some

The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says, Monday last was the day named by
Governor Picrpont for the assembling in
Richmond of the loyal Legislature of Vir-
gipia, and n number of the members were
present, but owing TO the constitutional
provision requiring ten days 10 elapse be-
tween the calling and assembling of an
extra session, no business was transacted.
There was no quorum, but i'm the House
of Delegates an organization was effected.
General Gordon was relieved from COM
mand at Norfolk on Monday last, and the
city was restored TO civil rule, his successor
being Instructed to act merely as military
commandant of the post. 20
There were thirty-one petitions for par
don filed with the Presidentto-day. Three
persons were pardoned to-day, viz: Phillip
Lee, Of Kentucky, John r. Davis, of Ten
nessce, and James l.. Seward, formerly n
member of the United States Congress
from Georgia. sFas
The Helald's special says, preparations
have commenced for mastering ont 10000
or 80, ,0,0 troops from the armies of Gener-
ais Meade, Hancock and Logan. About
Is, 900 of these effective men, whose terms
of service first expire, will be mustered
out of the army of the Potomac by regi-
mental organization. All absentees be-
longing to such regiments will be in addi-
ton to this number, and may swell it to
10000.

The arrest of John Mitchell has already

Fortress Monroe to await trial.
The order was executed hv two MEM
hrrs of General Dx's staff accompanied
by officers Elder and Davoe, of the detec-
tive squad. The officers. upon entering
the .Neecs office, inquired for Mr.. Mitchell.
who responded in person, and wished to
know what was wanted of him. 4 war
rant of arrest WAS then produced. at which
Mr. Mitchell did not seem 10 he at all aston

company the officers, and was at once
nlaced in IA carriage and rapidly driven off,

r.ts~There is beautiful area Of some fifty
thousand square miles, east of the Missis-
sippi river, that once belonged to Louisiana.
Seventy-seven years ago there was not n
white man within its borders. splendid
wilderness, its prairics undulated away,
dotted with great island groves. and spang-
led with iessamines, wild roses and violets.
The deer the elk and turkey were Stree
commonerS,' and its rivers ran on unfet-
tered with single wheel. And this area
was named for one of those idle streams,
and they called it Iowa, meaning the
"Drowsy.' And Iowa was handed about
the mighty sisterhood, much as an admi-
rable infant about household. Louisiana
passed ii to Michigan, and she took care
of it three years; then Wisconsin took it,
but i'm year it began to run alone" and
became IA territory. At length about the
last days in December, 1916, an audible
knock from there away was heard at the
Federal door: Iowa stood upon the thresh-
old, was admitted, and became a sovereign
State. Well, this region, miserably mis-
named the "Drowsy," had three millions
of acres of grain waving within it, and six
hundred and fifty thousand souls keeping
magnificent step to the march of empire.
But that step has changed since then,
and there in the forefront, Iowa has kept
time to the music of the Union.
She had forty-three thousand men, wom-
en- and children, all told, in lS4O and sew
enty-one soldiers in the army. She has
sent seventy thousand boys in blue to fight
the battles of the Republic; four batteries
have spoken for her; nine regiments of
cavalry have heard the bugles and thun-
