tains into the darkened room it had sunk to
whisper.
Nor was this all. The few hours preceding
the dawn had wrought great change in his
appearance. The pinched and drawn fea-
lures showed that the hour so long delayed
had arrived at last. The messenger was even
now upon the threshold, ready to bear away
the spirit that had struggled so iercely in its
tenement of clay.
The words that he now addressed to his
weeping friends were so low and broken that
they could scarcely learn their meaning. But
they bent their heads down close to the chill
ling lips, to catch the futter Of the last sigh
and low-breathed aspiration. In this last
hour his brilliant eyes retained their ANNA
ton and spirit until the hfeless lids sunk
above them. On his sisters face they lin
gered longest, forcing her eyes to meet his
own by that strange magnetic emotion which
the dying ever have over the living. o. what
world of passionate regret that last look
contained But the chilling waves of the in
visible were slowly rising around him-a
shudder crept through his frame-the eyes
suddenly lost their look of intelligence

lips, and Warren Hayes was dead

he was q Southern man, and that the
Southern men Were his friends. He
had yet TO learn of any good to the
black man that could come from
these Yankee peddlers in secret poll.

lied to him or deceived him when he

A special Washington dispatch
states that soon after the adjournment
Of Congress, acquisitions Were received
at the War Department from the Gov
nors of several of the reconstructed
states for arms TO equip the State

that the Secretary of War could fill
the acquisitions under the provisions

has, however notified the applicants
that no arms could be issued to the

that further legislation would be ne
