The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-03-03

We learn from good authority that a
private despatch was received here yester-
day, from Washington, stating that the
Senate Disability Bill, which had passed
the House; with amendments, had been
taken up and passed by the Senate. The
Associated Press dispatches announce
that Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,,
has moved to reconsider.
The bill is said to contain the names Of
a large number of Mississippian includ
ing all the members of the Legislature.

The Curse OF ScaIRwag LegfsIa.
1lOm.

On the principle that misery loves com
pany, in anticipation of the impending
curse upon the people of our State we
may well indulge our sympathy with the
people of Louisiana in the burthens of a
Radical Legislature. The Legislature Of
that State is loading their backs with
schemes Of plumber. Ten millions Of dol
Lars win not cover the debts which it is
proposed to create for the benefit of the
vultures who are feasting upon their sub
stance.

Court House upon the land of minor, to
which they had not acquired legal title
This had to be remedied by an act of AS
sembly. An act for the purpose was pas
sed In 1924, which recites the fact that a
Court House and prison had been built at
Joppa at the expense of the county, but that
the right to the land existed in a minor,
'who could not convey it, although his
father, Col. James Maxwell, had received
full satisfaction for the same" 1t also de-
clares that the two acres of land on which
the Court House and prison were built
"shall be to the use of the county forever"
By law each house in Joppa had to be
at least twenty feetsq and have chin
ney OF brick or stone.
Time passed on, and Baltimore having
increased to town of five thousand in
habitants or somewhere thereabouts, her
people complained of the inconvenience of
going to Joppa to Court, and thought it
nothing but just that the Court House
should be removed to that place. A law
was accordingly passed in 1769 to remove
the Court House and county prison from
Joppa to Baltimore, and authorised the
erection of these buildings on ''the upper
most part of Calvert street next Jones'
Falls" The Court House was built upon
the present site of the battle monument,
and stood there until another was erected
in 1S09.-Balto. Go. Union.

ter, Lady Lovelace aar buried. Buried.
indeed Shut out not only from the living
world, but its very remembrance. More
lonely, more forsaken by his fellow men in
his death, than in the darkest moments of
his selfembittered life
Anything more at variance with the
thoughts that crowd upon the mind while
standing beside the resting place ofgenius
than every surrounding of this forlorn
grave it is impossible to imagine. The
miserable, poverty stricken village-the
time-worn church, to which none but some
three or four of the Byrons seemed ever to
have been brought for burial save the very
poor-the Byron pew, with its green baize
lining faded and torn, now fallen into the
hands of some decent sort of folks in the
village and above the plain white tablet,
without ornament of outline or inscription,
erected in memory of the author of "Childe
Harold" by Mrs Leigh. She, after all, it
seems, of all his admirers so loud-voiced
in their praise, was and is the only one
who, out Of her scanty means, had more
than words to offer as a tribute to his
deathless fame. Like his own 'Manfred,'
'the Spirits he has raised abandon him.
and he rests as he lived, alone"

serve that movement has been set on foot
by the survivors of General Jacksons staff to
erect an appropriate monument over his grave
at Lexington, Virginia. This monument will
commend itself to his admirers, among whom
there are many who were not of his army.
Immediately after the death of the general q
large fund was raised by troops of his corps
for this worthy purpose, but was deposited in
bank and lost. The present undertaking meets
with the approval and co operation of Mrs.
Jackson, who, it is said, has offered to devote
all she can of her small fortune to its accom-
plishment True, it needs no marble TO per-
petuate the fame of her husband, but it is fit
ting that the spot of earth which holds his
ashes should be endurably marked for pos
terity. This movement is not confined to
ex.soldiers. Contributions will be gladly re.
ceived from all his friends and admirers. Peo-
pie in Maryland or elsewhere North who de-
sire to assist are requested to send their sub
scriptions to Major II. Kyd Douglas, at Ha-
gerstown Among others, q gentleman in
New York has already. rendered his check for

BYRoN'S GRAVE,

A correspondent of the London Times
calls attention to the worse than neglect to
which the burial place of Lord Byron is
subjected.
'How many of the poets admirers" he
asks, "know where he is buried at all q
At Hucknall Torkard few might answer,
but could one in hundred of all the thous-
ands that have read his works, aped his pc
culiarities, envied him his beauty, condem-
ned his vices, admired his genius, or black
ened his memory tell you where Hucknall
Torkard is, what it is, or from personal OBJ
servations give you any idea of its unvisi
ted, out-of they world dreariness and desola-
ton ?
"Some six miles from Nottingham, on
the Mansfield line of railway, lies the mis-
cradle collection of cottages and small
shops dignified by that name. Approach
ing it from Nottingham you pass one OF
two other small places as grimy and UNI
poetical- looking as itself, then comes wide
sandy tract of unreclaimed land, covered
here and there with stunted bushes and
blackencd furze, which is all that remains
of what was once Sherwood Forest, and
still bears that name, and at length the
train stops where the dark woods around
Newstead are just visible in the distance.
The village is not more than a stones
throw from the station, and consists main
ly of one long, dirty, irregular lane at the
top ofwhich is the church. This edifice
is small, weather. worn building, sup

The Smiths are good family, and pre-
vail more permiskus than emmy kind ov
folks that | kno ov, but it would be I'M
natural in this highest if thare want sum,
WHARF they are so thick, that was wuss
than the rest.
Did you ever read history, Ezra? If yu
didn't yu will be surprised tew hear
that John Smith married Pokerhontas,
the darter Nv Powhattan, the Iniun boss.
The way this happened was: Smith
was about Citing slowed, when Poker
hontas went in and fell flat on him. Old
Powhattan Civ it up, and Pokerhontas
had Smith, and Smith settled down and
went into the injun Dizziness, in q small
way on his own hook.
This is the grist NV the story.
IT'S one ov the most affektingest transac-
tions on file.
Yu ought tew read history, Ezra; it will
learn yu informashun, and give WI a
knowledge ov edukashun.
forgot tew state that John Smith lived
somewhere in Pensylvany, at the time his
transakshun with Pokerhontas took place,
and if he amt dead probably lives there
now. Thare is one fust rate thing about
history it is alwus true; if it ain It true, it
amt history, so if yu larn it onst, yu never
have tew unharness.
But most poetri, and pictorials and
novels, lie wuss than an east wind; the
fuller man gifts ov them over night, the
more room thar liz in him the next day, for
sum more.
John Smith, who had the transaction
with Pokerhontas, had an immense invoice
wv boys, thare is thirteen ov that name in
our town this morning, besides several
who hav either died or gone to Denver
city.
Did it ever strike yu, Ezra, that death
was one NV the most remarkable things
that could happen tew man2
A man may be ritch, and kno his history
just like slapjacks for breakfast, and be
handsom, able to lift ton without think
ing, but death beats awl these just as easy
as biting crackers.
Death seems to be as far as a man can git
when a man acquires that thoroughly, his
ablishun seems to be satisfied.
One man can be PITCHER, and lift more
than another, but he kant be any more
deader.
l am glad there is one thing in this
world, that is enuff for man.
Speaking ov man, Ezra, dew yu consider
him sucksess yet, or has he got tea try
again2
History has good deal tew say about
man, that don't allude tew his sucksess
Adew, Ezra.
Yurcs, full ov oats,
