BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT-We take the
following gbcautifule extract from the speech
of ex Governor y. s Brown of Tenn
essee, on the commemorate day:
81 believe in the capacity of the people
for self government. Constitutional gov
ernment is not dead Like Lazarus, il
has only slumbered. 1t will rise again in
all its fullness and all its glory. In the
language of another, Like the last tower
of ruined palace. it still holds It's head
to heaven, while the walls of its splendor
and the bowers of its delight lie in desc.
lation, around'- Its germ is still alive
and vigorous, and will reproduce the
the same venerable tree of liberty beneath
the broad green shadows Of which all these
weary millions, North and South, will
nestle and find protec ion and reposc. To
accomplish all this requires time and pa
tiencc, ami endurance, and charity, aud
justice. There never was a civil war yet
that was not followed by evils and disor-
ders Of greater or less magnitude. Like
the ocean when lashcd by tempest, the
sturdiest art and experience are imp0.
tent to resist, and when the storm is over
the wages still roll and break upon the
beach, but with less and less volume, un-
til at last the humblest bark can ride with
safety and security. This national ocean
of ours has been disturbed by tempest
such as We never before encountered,
brought on by fate, or folly, or crime, OF
passion, or by whatever other cause. And
though Its thunders have ceased to roar,
its elements are still in commotion, but
gradually yielding 70 the mysterious laws
which govern human society-laws Of
interest, of justice and patriotism, and
quite as potent as those which govern ma
ture in her wide domain"

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

The Huron county (Mich.) Netes tells
the following story:
We learn upon credible authority the
following particulars Of terrible double
tragedy which occurred on the 3lst of
August. In one of the back towns of
Saniiac county, and adjoining Huron, lives
settler who is of recent residence there,
named James Hayes. Ills family con-
sist, or rather consisted, Of himself and
wife and an only child, an infant On the
day above named, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes
were hoeing potatoes in a field some dis.
tance from the house, having left the
child home in the crib. After working
away in tho field for some time, tho hus.
baud became somewhat startled at hear
ing the child cry in an excessive and un-
usual manner, and anxiously requested
his wife to go to the house aud ascertain
the cause. She replied that she thought
the child would soon cease and compose
itself to sleep. After listening for mo.
meut or two, the supposition seemed a
correct one, as the sounds gradually ceased
and tho child seemed to sleep. Nothing
more was seriously thought of the matter
it being an instance of very common
nature-and at noon the husband and
wife repaired to the house for dinner.
But upon entering the room in which
the babe was lying, a horrible spec.
tacle met their gaze. In their absence a
monster serpent, OF the blue racer species
had entered the door, crawled to the era
dlc, and twined itself around the body oi
the infant, placed its head in the child's
mouth, and in this manner had deprived
it of life.
The husband, upon beholding the hid
eous monster, aud comprohending its ia
tai act upon the child, in frenzy Of ex.
citement turned upon his wife whom he
had bidden, while in the field, to come tC
their child, and without q word Of up
braiding or warning, struck her a fata
blow upon the head with the hoo he haC
in his hand. She sank upon the fooi
and Immediately expired, the sharp edge
of the hoe had pierced her brain. The hus
band, finding himself wifeless, childless
and a murderer, rushed from the house
procaiming his guilt, raving maniac.
These are the particulars, as related t.
us by gentleman of high social standing
aud veracity, who had visited the local
ity"
