DeCay of Inferior Races.

The island of Tahiti, hundred ago,
contained two hundred and ten thousand
inhabitants now it has but seven thous-
and-or one-thiftieth of its former popu-
lation
One of the New Zealand Islands twen-
ty-fve years ago contained one hundred
and sixty thousand inhabitants; now it
has but forty tho usand-or one fourth of
It's former population.
We thus find that while the natives of
Tahiti have bed ONE almost extinct in a
century, the poor New Zealanders will
disappear entirely in even less time.
The same law pf extinction of the in
ferior races pre- walls in Australia and
everywhere else. That our own country
presents no exception, is seen by all who
have any knowledge of Virginia, or of
the other Southern States.

The importance of defeating the Wells
ticket is enhanced by the veto power al
lowed the Governor in the proposed
Constitution. So that even if a majority
of Conservative men be elected to the
Legislature, and Wells should be elected
Governor, he would use his power to de-
feat tie action of the Legislature. This
shows how necessary it is to make every
effort possible to defeat the Wells ticket.

OH! STREW YOUR FLOWERS

From the Banner of tn South.
OH! STREW YOUR FLOWERS.
Oh ! strew your flowers among the dead,
With laurel, and with bay,
And let their vernal fragrance shed
Sweet perfumes where they lay
No living heroes claim the wreath
Of glory and of fame;
IT'S theirs, who, sleeping cold in death,
Partake not of our shame.
It's theirs, who freely shed their blood,
Their sunny land to save;
While we with tears bedew the sod,
Where rest these heroes brave
They are at rest, their battles Ger,
Their victory has been won;
They'll wear a crown forcvermore,
For deeds so molly done.
Bring your flowers, your sweetest flowers,
Your laurel and your bay,
And passing through our darkes: hours,
Let's hope for coming day.
And while we wear the tyrants chains,
And they the laurel wear,
We feel that honor still remains,
And hope their bliss to share.
We hope that Freedoms day shall dawn,
Our country once more free;
That while we shall our heroes mourn.
No longer slaves we'll be.

ANDREW JOHNSON.
He WtH Live Through Another Cam
nRign.

Says the New York COmmercial:-They in
deed sadly err who suppose that Andy eater
tains any present purpose OF shutting oil mis-
u ortal coil. his remarkable con Valescence and
escape from the obituary column recall an
anecdote related to US by a former Kentucky
missionary to China. While temporarily
sOjOurnmg in Knoxville, Tennessee, a few years
SINCE, he was sent for by Parson Brownlows
family, who informed him that he was lying at
the point of death. They requested the mis-
slonaryy to converse with him IN regard to the
Parsons room he found him lying upon his
pack with his eyes closed, and in almost a
senseless condition. He appeared to have but
short time to live, and took no no.
tlce of those around HIM. The missionary
approached the bed and addressed him, but re-
ceived no response. He then took hold of his
hand, and putting his mouth close to his ear,
spered:-"Parsop, lear your time is short;
your family are anxious in regard to your
spiritual condition, and have asked me to talk
with you. trust you have made your peace
with Cod" No sooner said than the ParsOn
opened his eyes, and quickly sitting upright in
bed, said to the missionary as he fixed his eye
glanngly upon him, my friends anxious? You
can tell them that they need have no anxiety
concerning me or nv soul. i shall live for
thirty years yet to fight the Democrats and Hard
Shell Baptsts." From that moment he began
to recover, and was out of danger in few days.
In like manner, the newspaper announcements
that he was to die have seemingly neryed
Andrew johnson, his old political antagonist,
to live: and he proposes to live, too, in lively
sense. Dying, Lamartine exclaimed "enough !"
for once in his lie. Recovering, Andy shouts,
in the language Of the expiring Miles at aar-
per's Ferry, "Up and VI them, boys: ] will lead
you" Another tour has accordingly been
arranged. taking in Nashville, Louisville, and
other points. What is now omitted from the
classics or the Constitution will not be worth
knowing.
On closing his Greenville speech one of the
crowd exclaimed, 'Thcre's life in the old man
yetW "Yes," said another. ''and there's HI
in him yet, too" However this may be, a
double tusked .rhinoceros loose in Tennessee
would not create more commotion aud stir up
things more generally.

From The ". Y. Independent. March 25.
The Democratic party (eVer lying in waltz
have now greater opportunity to regain their
lost leadership than they have had at any period
since they 6rst lost it.
Under the present auspices at Washington
(unless we greatly mlsiudge the signs OF the

weaker and weaker, and their opponents stea-
dily stronger and stronger. The moral sym
paihy which formerly united the Republican
ranks into an irresistible phalanX is now be.

the day. He was taking the measure OF the men
who were talking with him, and Weighing the
suggestions which they had to make.
BY the middle of the afternoon his work for
the day was over. and he went TO his home,
where he never allowed business to follow him.
Without ostentation, he lived in manner be-
fitting his large means. 1t would be hard to
find house where one would any evening
meet more genial people than that of James
Harper. These gatherings were quite by
chance, for we doubt if he ever gave set party
or Issued formal invitation.
He kept alOof from political life, though he
took a warm interest in public affairs. Once,
indeed, he consented to run AS Mayor of the
city, and was eleCted; but be never after cared
to repeat the trial. His business, benevolent
and reformatory moN ements, andImore than all,
bis home filled up the measure of his days. In
boyhood he became a member of the Methodist
Church, as his father aud grandfather had been; ;
aud for tbree-score years no man ever breathed
that he had done any act un worthy of his
Christian profession. While he had a rare sense
of humor-not unlike that of Abraham Lincoln,
whom he slightly resepbled IN teatures-down-
right eaInestness and integrity we're the foun-
dations of his being.
His death came like shock. On Wednesday
morning he seemed in rather more than usual
spirits. The day was unusually balmy, and
after dinner, accompanied by his daughter. he
took his wonted drive through the Central Park.
Returning, his horses took fright; he was
thrown from his carriage, struck heavily upon
his head; was taken up unconscious, and never
aToke upon earth. On Easter Eve, Saturday,
March n. he passed to the immortas. Few
men have lived a more honorable no one more
blameless, lite than James Harper.

tis by no means certain yet how the insurrec-

see NJ to be confident, sustained as they are by
troops and supplies from Spain: while the insur1
gents are receiving large accessions from native
Cubans, and from outside parties landing at
points where they can readily communicate
with them. 1t is deemed advisable by our Gov
einment, and also by the commander of the
West India squadron to keep large force in
the Cuban waters to protect American citizens
and property from molesEation. Accordingly
orders we're despatched yesterday by the Navy
Department to have the war steamers Seminole,
GAlena and Juniata fitted out Immediately for
duty IN the Cuban waters. The Seminole IS
third rate vessel, carrying light guns, and is
no " repairing at Boston. The Galeua is also

however, several of the iron clad vessels will be

has ordered Admiral Hof, commanding the
West India squadron, to make thorough in
vests alton OF the capture of the American
brig Mary Lowell by the Spanish authorities,
and to communicate the facts to the Navy
Department Immediately. Senor Morales
Lemus, the Cuban Minister, left for
New York yesterday morning, and
will return next Tuesday. During his absence
the interests of the insurrectionary Government
will be attended to by Senor d. L. Ruiz, one of
friendly interviews with Mr.. Fish, Secretary of
State, but not of an official or political char
acter. Senor Lemus has also had several in
terviews with Senator Sumner and Represen-
Foreign Committees of the Senate and House.
He and his friends are very reticent, however,
and nothing is definitely known as TO what
transpired at either interview. General Banks
had a long consultation with the President
yesterday concerning the matter, which may
develop itself in the House tomorrow.
