THE RURIAL OF THE DEAD.

THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD.
by COL. o'HARA.
The mufied drums sad roll has bat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few.
On flames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead.
No answer Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind:
No troubled thought at midnight hAuhts
VI loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrows strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No brsying horn nor screaming HE
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust:
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner. trailed IN dust,
Is now their martial shroud'
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms. in battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighiug steed. the flashing blade,
The trumpet's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful eannOnale.
The din and shout are past
NOwar's wild note. nor glOry's peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more shall feel
The rapture OF the fight.
Like the dread northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Nursed with the triumph yet TO gain
Came down the serried foe.
Cur heroes felt the shock. and leapt
To meet them on the plain,
And long the plying sky hath wept
Above our gallant slain.

Where stranger steps aud tongues TesOund
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic sol
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war her richest soil
The ashes Of her brave.
So meath their parent turfs they rest.
Far from the CORY field;
Borne 20 a Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred hearts and eyes watch by
The heroes sopulchre.
Rest on. embalmed and sainted deadl
Dear is the bloody grave:
No impiOus footsteps here shall tread

Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,

When many vanquished age hath flown,

Nor times remOrseless doom.

SUPPORTER TRUSS
The most Efficient, Comfortable AID
Secure Truss in use, Con-
structed upon an entirely
New Principle.

1T IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IN P Rim
i ciple aud action from any other now in use.
and has every desirable advantage, viz:
LIST. 1t is light, clean and easy; no pressure
on the back; with motion inward and upward.
I'd. 1t has no springs or iron bands, thus
avoiding all Injurious Pressure on the Back, at
the same time supporting the AbdOm en-
and relieving the aperture of all undue weight.
Sd. The Button is so formed that the pres
sure is equal on all the parts Of the Hernial
Aperture, without infringing on the Spermatic
Cord
4th The composition of which the Button is
made renders il ImperViOus to Precipitation.
and produces rapid absorption Of the deposits
in the spbcutaneOus cellular tissues, which
permits the Button to act Immediately upon the
tendinOus canal, thus eifectually closing the
neck and ObliteTating the Hernial Sac by al
hesive Inflammation.
5th. 1t is as Comfortable. night or day, as a
glove.
9Th. 1t is not complicated. and cannot get
out of order.
This Instrument is confidently recommended
to the public, knowing that it is superior to ans
now in use. 1t has been tried by sufficient
numbers to prove its superiority oyer all 9th

Chicago has bad name, founded
mainly, upon the great number of di.

that SO bad is the reputation of its
dwellers for morality and marital purity
that whenever silver or golden we'd

the principal celebrants have lived to-

demand an inspection of the marriage
certificate, which has to be accompanied
by an affidavit, made by some credible
witness, that it is genuine document,
and not forged, before handing over any
presents. This is making assurance dou-

He will therefore be sworn in, together
with the Vice President, in the Senate

for this change of base is that the COM

Suffrage in Indiana.

The indianapolis Journal, the Repub-
iican State paper of Indiana, is opposed
to the universal manhood suffrage"
amendmentto the constitution. Itsays:
There has been some agitation in
Congress upon the subject of an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States which shall confer universal
manhood suffrage in all the States, but
as yetno action has been taken upon it,
and we presume none will be this win
ter. 1t is matter Of grave doubt as to
whether requisite number of States
can be induced to ratify it, if it were
passed, and if they could would it not
be an act of bad. faith i'm the Republican
party to attempt to force it upon the
people in this manner? Both the State
and national platforms stated distinctly
and unequivocally that this question
should be left to the States to be deci-
ded by themselves; the canvass was
fought upon that issue, and every mem
ber of our present Legislature was cleo
ted with that understanding.

gressmen from the South:
And in oil sober earnestness, to write
in "a frank and manly way" the net
purport and upshot of our reconstruct
tion measures at the South as seen in
Congress is not pleasant. No amount
of certificates of election and formali-
ties of an oath can make these gentle-
men Of the hand-baggage real M. C.'s.
When one makes his appearance on the
floor we cannot look each other in the

The antagonism between New Eng

their own constituents.

The Kulxlux at shelbyville.

The following, from the Sheibyville
Rescue, is probably the true version of
the recent Kuklux affair at that place:
Last Saturday night, about half past
eight o'clock, just as we were on the
corner of the Book Store, on our way
home we were suddenly confronted by
q squad of some twenty-five horsemen
in disguise who came rapidly on to the
Square whistling and yelling. They
made circuit around the Square, went
down, Depot Street and returned, and
then struck a bee-line northward down
Washington street. When some three
or four hundred yards from the Square
a, heavy firing commenced, which we at
first supposed to be several decks offlre
crackers set off at once, but we learned
afterwards that body of negroes fired
into them from behind houses and fences
as they were passing out of town. No
one was hurt that we have heard of. /

Who Says we are Not q Nodes t
People. ~

We don't know who dare show so
much boldness. but if any man dares,
we point to the fact that there are now
before the United States Senate alone
140 bills and resolutions asking from
the Government material aid TO con-
struct roads to the Pacific,-but the
amount asked for, for the times, may be
considered quite moderate, viz: $12,-
00000OOf Uncle Sans money, and l2O,-
100000 acres of land! That's all. Sew
eral of these bills have passed the
House but stick in the Senate. About
1000 miles Of railroad, and 12O,OOO miles
of telegraph wires, have been built in
the United States, mainly on private
account, and there is danger of relying
too much upon Government for the
performing of the wants of private in
dividuals.

Grant---B Butler, Greeley, Seward.
* A Bohemian at Washington gives the
following version Of Grants views Of
some Of the great lights of the day:
BUTLER.
Butler Is not so bad as his enemies
imagine, Ihave no ill-will toward him,
and am satisfied there would never have
been any difference between us il il had
not been for the Misrepresentation Of
third parties. There is no truth in the
report that George Wilkes arranged our
difficulties. There is nothing in common
between Wilkes and me, except fond
ness for horses and the turf. Butler is
a man of great force and character, and
he would be a leader in any country in
which he lived.
i.tss GREELEY. eE ~
Greeley is a great and good man, and
a faithful, honest, efficient advocate of
the cause of human liberty. He always
seemed to me to exaggerate the bright
side of human nature, and underratc its
dark side. He exaggerated the capacity
of the negro, while he moderated the
crime of JEFF Davis. Such men are al
ways the dupes Of men of inferior abili-
ties. s
SEWARD.
Seward is a man of very great ability
and very little principle. If he had not
entrusted his politics to Weed he might
have been statesman, but Weed being
q very corrupt politician, Seward was
dragged down from the elevation of
craftsmanship to the lowest depths of
demagoguery. johnson would have re-
manned pure, true, patriotic and wise
President if he had been removed from
the baneful influence of Seward.
