THE BURIAL OF SIR John MOORE.
The "Elegy" made Gray and The
Burial of Sir John Moore" made
Wolfe's reputation as a poet. Lord
Byron called "The Burial of Sir John
Moore" the finest ode in the language.
Wolfe was twenty five years old,
and was tutor in Trinity College
(his alma mater, Dublin (nis native
city, when he wrote this poem. He
little dreamed Of its excellence. The
original manuscript was laid before
the Royal Hibernian Academy, 1914
by DR.. Anster. 1t was written on a
halfsheet Of letter paper He wrote
to friend who insisted upon seeing
it: Il have completed the Burial of
Sir John Moore" and will herein in
flict it upon you; you have no one
but yourself to blame for perusing,'
etc, etc. This friend was Mr. Tay>
lor, Charles Wolfe's college cotempo-
rary, and the letter was written on
the turnover ends of the paper-the
sides which contained the address.
Wolfe shortly afterwards took or
ders, held two curacies, and died in
six years, aged thirty one, Of consump-
tion, at Cove, now Queenstown, re-
sort for invalids.
The stauzas entitled "The Burial
of Sir John Moore, who tell at the
battle of Corunna, 1908" was first
published in a Belfast newspaper
Christopher North printed the poem
in Vol, | p, 277. of "Blackwood' I
Edinburg Magazine" with this no
tice -"This little poem first appear
ed in some of the newspapers few
days ago, It is too beautiful not tt
deserve preservation in a safe reposi
tory, and we have accordingly insert
ed it among our original poems.- Nd

How THEY LOVE THEM The
radicals profess great love for the SOL
der, the "boys in blue" They love
to have them vote the radical ticket,
but when soldier asks at their hands
an Office, they can pass him by, to
give the office to party hack. No
wonder the soldiers are indignant.
In like manner has Congress re.
warded the soldier. They enact a
law that WHITE soldiers receive a
bounty Of one hundred dollars, while
the negro soldier shall be paid boun.
ty Of three hundred dollars. Radi
Gals love the white soldier one hun
dred dollars worth-but a niger sol
dier just three times as much, O
three hundred dollars worth.
Truly the "colored troops Tough
nobly."
This shows how well the radical
love the Union soldiers. They Low
nothing but his vote, and should h
vote against them, then he is rebt
and a traitor,
The RAIDS think they have a NOR
gage on every soldier Of the Unio
army, and that they belong to the
body aud soul, and when they ord
him to vote, he must do So, and 1
whom they please.

The following, from the Southern
Home Journal, Is very ITsh, and al
together too good to keep:
Not great while after Gen. Lee
assumed the duties of President of
Washington College, Virginia, he
was taking his customary evening
ride: and when some distance from
the village, he was met by pedess
trian, who saluted him, and halting,
suddenly asked in full brouge if he
were "Gen. Lee" On being answered
afirmatively the Irshman said
can it's me that's glad to get the
sight Of ye, General, Would ye mind
sir av I'd just give yea bit iv a
cheer ?"
"0h, said the General, "I think
we'd as well dispense with that"
"Bedad, sir, l think I'll have to
do it any how"
And he thereupon twirled his hat
enthusiastically around his head and
gave lusty three cheers" EN- soli-
tarie-doubtless to the Generals
great, though unexpressed amuse.

committed to her the ark of the tes-
timony, which contains the keys to
the treasury of wisdom. There are
others too numerous to mention.
A new government, in order to
thrive, must Of course have some sort
of revenue, and hence peculiar
banking system will be adopted by
the new goverDmentizers. 1t is not
yet fully developed, but so much is
known that all those who come now,
at tile appointed time and sign the
constitution, will be principal stock
holders, The money deposited in
this bank will be expended for the
good of mankind, while the deposi-
tors will, according to the amount in
vested, receive choice places in the
Time Without End. At present, the
exchequer is very low
There is scarcely a prominent
spirituaIist in this city or the State
who has not given his allegiance to
this government, and the women have
gone over almost in body. The
new government organ, but recently
started, has already a list of 1000
subscribers-no mean indication of
the root this scheme has taken, The
question will naturally come up, are
these people honest? One who has
mingled with them cannot doubt but
that at least a majority are fully I'M
bued with the notion that the system
Of the new or celestial female gov
ernment is a revelation from powers
fully qualified to revolutionize the
world, aud place women in the chair
absolute. They discourse Of this
! theme with a volubility that is per-
Eectly astonishing AS to the precise
manner in which the world is to be
governed under the new regime they
seem to have no fixed idea, They
truly assert that the government is to
be theocratic in form, and that the
church is to govern the state, while
the church itself will be regulated by
the princess Of Jerusalem, Euphelniu
Abba, who now directs the govern.
ment through the grand council.
(Some think that when the time for
taking the reins has arrived the mode
of government will be made clear t,
mortals by the great lady Of wisdom
and power. This is modern spiritual.

A FEARFUL LEAP.-Last evening,
about a quarter Of six, man named
Mcdonald, aged twenty>four years,
was seen to walk hurriedIy over the
suspension bridge until he had
reached the middle of 1t, and then
divest himself Of all his clothing ex-
cept his shirt. Having thus prepared
himself, he sprang upon the bulwark
Of the bridge and with a crv, leaped
out into the river. The distance to
the water below the bridge is about
one hundred feet, and from the mo-
mentum acquired in falling such a
distance, he struck the water with
considerable force, which must have
rendered him senseless. His rash
act was noticed by three boys who
v ere rowing in a skiff near by, and
they Immediately pulled toward him,
and succeeded in dragging him into
the boat. 4aying been partially
restored by treatment he received,
he made a desperate attempt to free
himself from his captors, crying out
that he wanted "to die like man. -
They succeeded in bringing him
safely to shore when he was taken to
his home at the foot of Race street
The cause FOR his rash attempt is un-
known.

A DREAM REMARKABLY Full
FILLRD.-Rev. l.. W. Lewis is now
publishing in the Texas Christian
Adrocate, his "reminiscences Of the
War, and gives this remarkable in
stance of the fulfillment, Of a dream {:
A man by the name Of Joe Wills
liams had told dream to many Of
his fellow soldiers, some of whom
had related it to me months previous
to the occurrence, which | now res
late: He dreamed that we crossed a
river, marched over a mountain ana
came near church, located III wood
near which terrible battle cnsued
and in a charge just as we crossed
the ravine he was shot in the breast.
On the ever memorable 7th of De-
cember, 1862, as we moved at double
quick to take our place in the line OF
battle, then already, hQtly engaged,
we passed Prairie Grove Church, a
small frame building belonging to the
Cumberland Presbyterians. | was
riding on the flank of the command,
and opposite to Williams, as we came
Iiu view of the house. That Is the
church, Colonel, saw in my dream,
said he. | made no reply, and never
thought of the matter again until IL
the evening, we had broken the
euemy's line and were in full pursuit
when we came upon dry ravine IN
the woods and Williams said: Just
on the other side Of tie hollow ! was
shot in my dream, and | will stick
my hat under my shirt. Suiting the
action to the word, as he ran along
he doubled it up aud crammed it into
his bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted
it before a minnie ball knocked hin
out of the line Jumping up quick
ly, he pulled out his hat, waved j
over his head and shouted, I'm al
right The ball had gone through
four thicknesses Of his hat, raised
black spot about the size of man
hand Just over his heart, and droppet
into his shoe"

ORIGIN OF THE $40 ACRES AND A
MULE" Through ar intelligent
source we learn the origin Of the great
incentive, as above, used by the Radi-
Gals tc gain colored people on their
side.
When Thad. Stevens first drew up
his plan for mild ton6seation in the
Southern States, he summed up in this
wise. "There is 40,G00,0Q0 acres OF
land owned by the rebels, and there
are only 100000 negroes, (the race
having decreased 100000 since
freedom dawned upon them through
Lincoln's proclamation. my plan
will give 40 acres of land to every
negro, and enough will be left to buy
a mule for each of them.
This first started their great iu-
duoement, which was preached to the
deluded colored people of the South,
through the Loyal Leagues.
We leave it to the negroes to answer
this for themselves, whether or not
the Radical party has done unto them
as they promised Ssarcy (Ark)

Brown was the man that should
have been hung, instead Of Wirz.-

radical leaders thought they couldn't
spare him.-Q Quincy Herald.

GRANT WILL RULE WITH TRI-
ANGULAR PIECE OF STEEL.-General
Garfield, Of Ohio, recently made
speech IN which he indicated a policy
for Gen. Grant, who, it will be re-
membered, has publicly assured the
people that he has none of his own.
He declared that it was the intention
Of Grant, if elected, and Of the Radi'
cal majority in Congress, to govern
the country by the help Of "a little
triangular piece Of steel called a bay
onet." Garfield has thus unwittingly
let the cat out of the bag. He says
the radicals mean 'war" and "miita-
ry despotism. and, of course, Grant
will be as easily moulded to their
bloody will as clay in the hands Of
the potter.

cease

club Rates.
The Miss. s Team. Railroad.

To keep pace with the present hard
times, the local freight and passenger
tariffs upon this road have been again
reduced by the company. This will
be welcome intelligence to our nu-
merous friends who have cotton to
ship, and favor they will not be
slow to appreciate. The cotton
tariff IS now, from Pope's or Long
Creek, to Memphis, $500 per bale ;
from Batesvile or Tallahatchie, $2,75.
from Sar lis, $3.50; and from Como,
S2,25. The passengers tariff bas been
reduced one-sixth, which makes it
now only $500 over the entire length
Of the road. Communication tickets
can be obtained, good for ten trips
from Batesyille to Memphis, for
s24, 90; for twenty trips, S45,0O; and
for one hundred trips, 177,00. This
is a liberal arrangement for those
who are compelled to travel over the
road frequently, and an advantage
which business men will not fail to
see aud avail themselves of.
The road ana rolling stock are in
splendid condition, and owing to this
and the efficiency of its employees,
trains are run with almost unparal-
lAled regularity. Panola Star.

the action of any officer Of the army
