DEATH OF MR. E. LEwIs.-From the Natchez
Courier, Of the 5th, we copy the following notice
Of the death of an old citizen Of Natchez and New
Orleans:
Natchez has lost a useful citizen. Edward
Lewis, well known az an auctiyueer AMI sales
man, died on the Sd Of February, in the fifty
seventh year Of his age. His has been checkered
life. Born in Linevile, France, January 10, 1872,
by trade a glovemaker, he was cOnscrip ed for
the French army in 1880; rose TO the rank OF
sergeant, and served all during the Agers cam.
psign under Marshal Pelssier. He was present
at The terrific onslaught of the Arabs, AID was
with that army when it fought its way to the
Great Desert. He was twice wounded in Africa
once seriously in the skull by shell, for which he
was tTepanned. In lS3S he came to this country
and resumed bis trade in Philadelphia, making the
frst fine hid gloves ever fashioned in the United
States for ". 5. Bruner, OF that city, by whom,
we believe, patents were taken ont for improve
ments thus made. In 1910 be removed to New
Orleans, and commenced life anew as an auc-
uOneer and salesman. He for a long time CON-
mauded the New Orleans Voltigeurs. snd raised
company Of sixty men for the NJ xicsn war, for
which be was mustered in as captain. Few men
understood the manual of arms as well: and few
were more adr0it Ia the exercise. Tn lS49 he re.
moved 20 NatcheZ, where he has since resided.
Mr.. Lewis was sn educated Frenchman, good
Greek and an excellent Hebrew scholar, aud
possessed the respect and esteem of those who
knew him best. he was an Israelite. conforming
TO what is known as the Reformed School an
Odd Fellow and a Mason and we know of none
who do not speak Of him as good citizen and
worthy man.

QUALIFICATIONS OF MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.

After the election of Mr.. Hamilton to the
United States Senate, by the legislature of
Maryland, Governor Swami declined to
issue certificate, on the ground that a GER
tain State law, regulating senatorial elections,
had been violated. This law requires that
one of the senators shall be taken from the
Eastern shore. The point was not well taken;
but it is rather strange that the Chicago
Tribune, prominent radical organ, should
object to it on the ground that State has
no night to add to, or substract from the con-
stitutional requirements and qualifications of
United States senators. The Tribune is pre-
cisely right-a State possesses no such power.
But it is equally true that no such power re-
sides anywhere The qualifications for men,
bers Of the House of Representatives and
senators are very clearly and intelleibly ex-
pressed in the Constitution, yet the Congress
of the United States has presumed to add
others, from time to time, as the exigencies
Of the dominant party required. In the first
place, in addition to the usual oath, another
oath was imposed, ior which there is no sort
of warrant in the Constitution, and which
exacts that an elected member, possessing all
the constitutional qualifications, shall possess
others which the Constitution does not re-
quire. This oath refers to past acts and
opinions, which, whether or not such acts
may have been committed, or whether or not
such opinions may have been held, do. not
operate as a disqualification. More recently
the House of Representatives have assumed
to question the right to seats of the Ken
lucky members, not on account of the alb
sence of any constitutional qualification, but
on suspicion of what is called "disloyalty" in
the party slang Of the times. There IS moth
ing in the Constitution about ~loyalty' or
''disloyalty, and the attempt to make such
test is simply shameless act, of partisan
despotism. 1t is nothing more or less than
a declaration that opposition to the dominant
party shall exclude man from the enjoy
ment of constitutional rights and privileges.

Beautiful Extract.

The following waif, aaoat on the "sea of
reading" we clip from an exchange. We do
not know its paternity, but il contains some
wholesome truths, beautifully set forth
Men seldom think of the great event OF
death until the shadow falls across their own
path, hiding forever from their eyes the traces
Of the loved ones whose living smiles were
the sunlight of their existence. Death is the
great antagonist Of life, and the cold thought
Of the tomb is the skeleton Of all ieasts We
do not want to 60 through the dark valley,
although It's passages may lead to paradise J,
and with Charles Lamb, we do not want to
lie down in the muddy grave, even with kings
and princes for our bed-iellows
But the fiat Of nature is inexorable. There
is no appeal of relief from the great law which
dooms Us to dust. We flourish and We fade
as the leaves of the forest, aud the flower that
blooms and withers in day has not a Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his footsteps
Generations of men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude that throng.
the world to-day will tomorrow disappear
as the footsteps ON the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct
Of immortality, so eloquently uttered by the
death devoted Greek, finds deep response il
every thoughtful soul. When about to yielC
his young existence as sacrifice to fate, hi
beloved Cemantke asks if they shall not NEE
again, to which he replies: 81 have askec
that dreadful question of the hills that lool
eternal-of the clear streams that flow for
ever--of the stars among whose field of azur,

t" Owes Me a Liying.-

1t is among men who try to get living by
some shift or trick of laziness that We hear
the familiar words, The world owes me Il
living" A lonfer who never did a useful
thing in his life, who dresses at the expense
of his tailor, apd drinks at the cost of his
friends, always insists that the world owes
him living, and declares his intention to se-
cure the dept | should like to know how it
is that man who owes the world for every
mouthful he ever ate and every garment he
ever put on, should be so heavy creditor in
account with the world The loafer lies about
il. The world owes him nothing but very
rough coffin and retired and otherwise use
less place to put it in. The world owes a
living to those who are not able to earn one
to children, to the sick, to the disabled and
the agcd---to all who, in the course of nature
or by force Of circumstances, are dependent T;
and it was mainly for the supply of the
wants of these that men were endowed with
the power to produce more than enough for
themselves To a genuine shirk the world
owes nothing; and when he tells me, with a
whine, that the world owes him living, !
am assured that he has the disposition of a
highway robber, and lacks only his courage
