Love on the Brain

From the Atlanta New Era
1t is worse than the collie, boys 1t
lasts longer as a general thing, and is
equally violent while it lasts. 1t is dis
ease and can be diagnosed as success
fully as the measles or cholera morbus.
1t usually commences with a softening of
the heart, which gradually extends to the
head, where the symptoms first manifest
themselves. The effect upon the pa
tients is various. Some are siezed with
a mania for gazing on the moon-always
eulogizing the old bedlam as pale-faced
Luna. Star gazing is another symptom,
which is regarded as good by cool judges.
But if a fever for writing or even read
ing poetry sets in, the case is a hopeless
one, and can only be cured by an appli-
cation of matrimony.
Ordinarily the patient, while lab oring
under this disease, is unfit for business.
There is q sort of will-o' the-wisp figure
dancing before his distorted vision, COM
ing between him and his daily labor, un-
fitting him for a sober computation Of
units and tens, and making Balaam of
him generally. He suffers a loss Of

Down Among the Irish Dead.

A Dublin correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch gives this description of
visit TO the vaults of Christ's Church,
in Dublin, where the greatest of the Irish
dead sleep their last sleep. The writer
says
Our party returned to Christ Church,
where, under the guidance of the sexton,
we made visit to the vaults under the
building. The entrance is reached by a
flight of steps, near the foot of which is
an iron gate We passed through this,
and by the light of the small lamp car
ried by the sexton, groped our way along
a narrow passage to another ponderous
gate, which barred the entrance to the
charnel-hou beyond This gate the
sexton opened, and, passing through it,
we found ourselves among cofins innu-
merabe, from some of which the bones
protruded, but as a general thing
they seemed in good condition Here
in their decaying cases lie the remains OF
bishops, lords, generals and great men
innumerabe-men who in life no doubt
would have been shocked at the idea of
being allowed to rot in such place, and,
as the sexton, one by one, called out
their names and titles, thus bringing to
our mind what they had been and what
they were, we could not help rejecting
on the vanity of human life, and how
heeting is the shadow of title and wealth
and greatness, in the pursuit of which so
many sacrifice so much.
Among others whose remains lie here,
is the late Archbishop Whately, better
known as writer than as divine, and
many of whose works are to-day, text
books in the best schools. He wrote n
book once Ia Satire on Infidel works., to
prove that Napoleon Bonaparte never
existed but judging from the manner in
which his memory has been neglected, it
will not be difficnlt few years hence to
prove even without the trouble of writing
a book, that he never had a being.
Though he had a salary of over $4,000
a year, and must have died a wealthy
man, his family seems to have forgotten
that he ever lived and so he is left to rot
in obscurity in the vaults of Christs
Church while they enjoy the benefit of
his vast estate. The extent OF the vaults
under the church has never been fully
ascertained, and before We had exam
ined half of them We felt anxious to
leave the place. The whole ground is
but a mass of human remains, and TO
what depth they go or how far they ex
tend, no one knows, as the vaults have
never been fully explored.
An incident is told in connection with
these vaults which will bear relation
here. Some years ago a young officer
who was admitted in the usual manner,
ventured to explore them, and losing his
way in their intricaeies, was locked up
by the sexton, who supposed, from his
long absence, that he had come out He
groped his way eventually to the gate,
but found it locked, and perished from
starvation before he was discovered.
When found his body had been devoured
by rats {" Norways," we supposed, and
noucht but his skeleton remained. So
much for the vaults of Christ's Church.
In my next will give the result Of my
subsequent "sight seeing" in Dublin,
with some remarks on the social and
political condition Of the people, their
customs, etc

Negroes Immigrating:tO Tennessee.

We are informed that there is large
immigration Of colored people from
Georgia, Alabama and Florida to East

that at every station he saw negroes in
large numbers, and on conversing with
them they told the same stOry-they
were bound for East Tennessee. AT one
station a negro came up with his bundle
