DEATH.-Wo have never read anything
moro beautiful than the following from the
pen OF George d. Prentice -
There is hut a breath of air and a beat Of
the heart betwixt this world and the next
And in the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense. while we feel that death is present
with us. that We are prweress. and he all
powerful, and the faint pulsatiou here is but
the prelude of endless life hereafter, we feel
IN the midst Of the stunning calamity about
to betali US, that the earth has no compensa-
ting good to mitigate rhe severity of our loss.
But there is no grief without some benefcent
provision to soften its intcnseness. When
the good aud lovely die, the memory of their
good deeds, like the moon beams on the stormy
sea, lights up our darkened hearts and lends
to the surrounding gloom beauty so sad. so
sweet. that we would not if we could dispel
the darkness that environs it."

The Moon Ghost Mystery,

OF editors abr, ad. and their correspondents
to exaggcrate everything we say in regard to

to a certain date; and since that time have

the particulars Of what occurred during the
past week:
On Saturday night last two gentlemen were
i'll company with Mr.. Moon. at his residence {:
1t was exceedingly cold, and the ground was
covered with snow. Inasmuch as Mr. Moon
had not been annoyed by lights or noise. or
the presence OF " the mysterious man." the
company enjoyed themselves by the fireside

that some one had opened the back door with

door, walked close by the guard. stolen the
damEsk cloth. gone out at the back door and
locked it as he made his exit. His object in
taxing ont the front door key must have been
to enable him TO escape through that door in
the event he should be approached from the
opposite side of the house. Itis evident that
he entered at the back door. as but one track
could be seen IN the snow in front. and that
was made by one of the guard. Paths. well
irotdcn. led from the back door, and it was
impossible to track him.

Major General Hancock and the WHIT
of Habeas Corpus.

The New Orleans FGcoyune describes an
interesting interview between Major General
Hancock and the Chief of Police of that city.
The latter official, it appears, had certain
prisoners in his custody, and had determined
to disObey writ of habeas corpus issued from
civil court. The account in the Pfcgyune
thus refers to the interview:
General Hancock stated to Major William
son, Chief of Police, that he had learned
that writ of habeas corpus had been issued.
and that owing to some illegality it was prObs-
bic that it would not be Obeyed That writ.

he lived, and was especially known and loved
for his deep interest in all benevolent enter,

thorough radical, man Of strong convictions,
aud hrm in his adherence thereto. He served
seine time as a member Of the State Legisla-
ture, IN which he was a cotemporary of Judge
Chase, and under the administration of Nir.
Lincoln he held an important Office in the
revenue service. His age at the time of his
melancholy death must have been about fifty

1t was brought about, and the hopeless in:

DISSATISFACTION OF SOUTHERN RAD1-
CALs.-The Southern radicals, it seems. are
very much dissatisfied with the action of the
republican executive committee in fixing so
early date as the 2Oth of May for the meet
ing of the Republican Presidential Nomina-
ting Convention, The Washington Star says:
They say it is scarcely probable that the
Southern States will be admitted to repre-,
sentation in Congress before that time. and
hs the committee has decided that ONLY such
States as are represented in Congress shall
be entitled to send delegates to the National
Convention. they are virtually debarred from
all participation in the choice of caudi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice PresiJen-
cy. 1t is alleged that this action upon the
part Of the committee was taken with view
to secure the nomination Of Gen Grant. as it
is known that majority of the Southern
radicals are in favor Of Chief Justice Chase
Tor the Presidency. The project of holding
a separate convention is seriously ccntempla.

were not such tears as many of you pour out
