The Tomb of Albert Sidney ytlltten


gives us the following. Tho cpitaph is in
deed rarely beautiful and appropriate. 1t
says: A lady correspondent, in recent
stroll through the st. Louis Cemetery, in this
city, visited the grave of Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, and found a written cpitaph pasted
upon rough board attached to the tomb. In
her note to Il. IT,, our fair correspondent says
she was affected to tears upon reading it, aud
took the trouble to copy i. verbatim. She
begs us to iind out the author, and she should
be gratilicd in that desire if it were possible
for II. r., to do 50. Here is the beautiful ep.
itaph:
IN MEMORIAM.
Behind this stone is laid,
For season,
ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
A General in tho Army Of the Confederate
States,
Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee,
On tho sixth day of April, A. d., eighteen
hundred and sixty.two
A man tried in many high Offices
And critical enterprises, and found fuithful
His life was one long sacrifice of interest to
conscience;
And even that life, on woful Sabbath,
Not wholly understood was he
while he lived
But, in his death, hisgreatncss stands confessed
in peoples tears
Rcsolute, moderate, clear Of envy, yet
not wanting,
In that finer ambition which makes men great
and pure.
In his onor-imprcgnablc
In his mplicity-subliuc.
No country Ger had a truer son--no cause
noblcr champion;
No people boldcr dofen'ler--no principle
Than the dead soldier
Who sleeps here!
The cause for which he pcrishcd is lost =.
The pcopl s'r whom he fought arc
The hopes in which he trusted are
shattered =
The flag he loved guides no more the
charging lines;
But his fame consigned to the keeping of that
time, which,
Happily, is not so much the tomb of Virtue
as its shrine,
Shall, in the years to come, fire modest
worth 10 noble end.
In honor, now, our great captain rests
bercaved people mourn him.
Three commonwealth proudly claim him:
And history shall cherish him
Among those choicer spirits, who holding their
conscience unmix'd with blame,
Have been, in all conjunctures, true to them
selves, their country, and their God

WONDERS OF THE TELEGRApH.-Thc an
initiation Of time and space by the telegraph,
now that it reaches nearly half around the
globe, is so astounding that men have to re-
fleet to take in its full meaning. The "New
York Independent" gives the following as an
illustration
Con Monday, July 80, Mr. Field received
message of congratuation from Mr.. Fcrdi-
nand dc Lesscps, the protector Of the Suez
Canal. 1t was dated at Alexandria, in Egypt,
tho same day, at halfpast l, p. m, and re-
ccivcd in Newfoundland at half.past 10, a. m.
Let us look at the globe, and see over what
space that message flew. 1t came from the
land of the Pharoahs and the Ptolemies-it
passed along the shores of Africa, and under
the Mediterranean Ocean, more than thous-
and mles to Malta, it then leaped to the con-
tinent of Europe and shot across Italy, over
tho Alps and through France. under tho Enc.
lish Channel, to London; it then flashed
across England and ireland till from the cliffs
OF Valentia it struck straight into the Allan
tic, darting down the submarine mountain
which lies off the coast, and over all the hills
and valleys which lie beneath the watcry plain
resting not till it touched the shore of the
New World" In that mornings flight it
had passed over onc.fourth of the carth's sur.
face, aud so far out-stripped the sun in his
course that it reached its destination three
hours before it was sent TO understand this
it must be remembered that the earth rcvolves
from west to east, and when it is sunrise here
ii is between 8 and 8 O'clock ia Alexandria
in Egypt, and when it is sunset herc, it is
nearly . o'clock in the ovoning there.

TIE ARABS PRoor.-Some years ago
Frcnchman, who, like many of his country
men, had won a high rank among men of sci.
ence, was crossing the great Sahara in compa-
ny with an Arab guide. liz noticed, with a
sneer, that at certain times his guide, what
ever obstacles might arise, put them all aside,
and kneeling on the burning sand, called on
his God. Day after day passed, and the Arab
never failed, till at last one evening the phi
losophcr, when he arose from his knees, asked
him with contemptuous smile, Z" How do you
know there is Il God 2" The guide fixed his
burning eyes on the scofler moment in won.

prehension of any one to disturb them.
At about P. NJ. a lot of hard
roughs came to the Springs, all more
or less intoxicated when they came.
They had disturbance among them
selves, out in the avenue, not in the
buildings. a-
AS to the Sam Patch leap, men
toned in your issue of the same date,
the facts are these: One of the hard
cases, who came with his party, struck
a gentleman who had said nothing to
any one, but was quietly smoking his
cigar, and to avoid difficulty ran,
and was pursued by this dirty fellow
into the kitchen and out at the back
door. Mr.. Damron came into the
kitchen and there gave him sound
thrashing for his impudence. Such
characters may take warning from
this, that they will not be allowed to
come on the grounds at all, as the
proprietors are determined not to al
low such any privileges whatever on
their grounds; and further than that,
all such persons hereafter attempting
to disturb the patrons of the Springs,
will be at once arrested and lodged in
Jail, and dealt with according to law.

A scientific calculation of the vol

that nitro-glycerine,. compared acith
