STAR OF OUR HoPE! when Battles call
Had wove the soldiers CORY pail
When blazing DER tho troubled seas,
Death came tumultuOus on the breeze,
And men beheld Coumbia's frame
ScOrched by the lurid flame
Thou! thou didst pour the patriot straln,
And thrilled with it each bleeding Veni-
Until the star-lt banners streamed
Like tempest-fres around the foe,
Whose crimson cross no longer CLEANED
In triumph where it erst had beained-
But sunk beneath our gallant blow.
SIN OF THE FREE! where Summer smiles
Eternal DER the clustered isles
Where GREECE unsheathed her Olden blade
For Glory in the haunted shade
Where CIIIaBORAZO stands sublime
A landmark by the sea OF Time 3
Thy name SHALL as blessing given
For Man, oh never to depart,
Peal from our gladdencd Earth TO Heaven
The warm, wild music OF the heart.

Her pbrenzied storm around thee rolls
Has it not ever been the fate =,
OF all this Earths truth-sPeaklng SOUS
Lightnings may play upon the rock
Whose star-kissed forehead w0os the gaze
While they escape the thunder-sh0ck
Who dwell within the lonely vale
Living unnOted NOT so thou,
Chief of the fearless soul and brow!
Yet let the lightning and the STORM
Beat on thy long-devoted form
The silyery day beam bursts! and 10!
Around thee curls the PrOmise-Bow.
Look! on Won hight Columbia stands
Immortal iaurels in her hands!
And bark, her voice" RISE! FREEMEN RISE

Roused at the sound, 10 millions leap
Like giants from inglOriOns sleep! =,

The Democracy of California do not take
kindly the XVth Amendment A number OF
County Clerks of that party have refused to
register cOlOred men as voters, and more than
fifty members of the Legislature approve the
action of the clerks, and propose to back them
up with moral, and, if needed, all the physi-
zeal force God has given them" We are
not apprised of the extent of physical force
granted to these gentlemen, but with all due
respect we submit that "fOrce" is an argu-
ment that is not likely to win. Mrs. Parting
ton was q remarkably energetic old lady, and
welded her mop with amazing energy, but
the Atlantic Ocean did not seem to be
seriously retarded by her efforts. The
Californians, however, have loop-hOle for
retreat; if their Attorney General should mag
unanimously declare that he has no objection
to the carrying out of the amendment, the
boys will give in. The civilized world is
awaiting in breathless anxiety the official
opinion and final decision of this Attorney
General. In Circleville, Ohio, where about
two thirds of the white voters are Democrats,
1877 colored men were denied the right to vote.
The regular election officers refused, to serve
because of the presence of colOred men, and
the polls were manned by irresponsible per-
SONS. The cOlored men appeal to Congress for
redress, and We are confident they will not
apppsl in v,lin.

The Philadelphia orator who said that il
"every tree were pen andsthe whole ocean
were ink we could not write out our debt" to
such men as Grant, Sherman, Meade, and Sher-
idan, uttered a very alarming sentiment, con-
sidering the state of the National Treasury.
But it is, unquestionabie that no defined limits
measure the actual gratitude of the country to
its heroes. The vast enthusiasm OF the crowds
in Philadelphia who witnessed an assem-
blage of some of the greatest Oh
the worlds commanders on Satur-
day, was the liveliest proof of this fact. Six or
seven of the most eminent soldiers OF the war,
beside a numerous body of other distinguished
veterans, were on that day cOngregated on
the stage of the Philadelphia Academy. The
occasion was a great one. 1t was the annlver-
sary of the surrender of Appomattox, and 1T
was fittingly celebrated in a grand reunion 10y
the Society of the Army of the Potomac.

The review of the Legal-Tender case before
the Snpreme Court is fixed for to-day. 1t was
understood that it was to be argued before a
full bench. but there are reasons for be-
Heving that Judge Bradley will decline to sit.
If, as reported, he is large stockholder in the
Camden and Amboy Railroad, of which cOrpor-
alton he was lately the legal adviser, it would
be manifestly improper for him to hear case
in which that road, like many Others, is largely

This same sort Of retaliatory Legislation is car
ried into other and hardly less important mat
ters. The House lately adopted, almost unani-
mously, a resolution refusing further grants Oh
land to projected railroads, thus killing few
really valuable projects together with great
many very worthless schemes. In retaliation
the Senate now threatens to refuse Its assent
TO certain schemes projected and favored IN

HFVRY CLAY.

TIE TRIBUNE this day enters upon Its
XXXth year, and tomorrow Is the 93d anni-
yersary of the birth of HENRY CLAY, 1.-THE
"Great Commoner," whose genins, eloquence,
patriotism, and craftsmanship, form one OF
the grandest illustrations of American institu-
tions and irradiate one of the brightest pages
in our National history. poor, obscure Lad,
with but the faintest rudiments OF a common
school education, left an orphan In early
youth, finding employment first in a store,
then in q lawyers Office. he made himself an
eminent advocate mainly by the force OF his
rare natural gifts, with but slender Oppor-
tunities for study. Early conspicuous in the
political struggles of his adopted State, he
was chosen to the Legislature while still
youth, and to the United States Senate when
barely of the prescribed age. He filled sue
cessively almost every exalted station under
our Government, the Presidency excepted
Often candidate for the House of Representa-
tives his election was never but once seriously
contested. Long as was his service in that
body, he was for most of the time its Speaker;
and all men agree that he was never sur
passed, if equaled, as the presiding officer Of
that body. Repeatedly returned to the Senate
the foremost member of that body. AS ne
gOtiator of the Treaty of Ghent which closed
our Last War with Great Britain, he lowered
above his able and hopOred colleagues, and
obtained better terms of paciticati0n than his
Government had any right to expect. For but
four years Secretary of State (under John Q.
Adams), his dispatches are still oftener quoted
as authority than those of any other director
of our Foreign Affairs, though jefferson and
Madison were among his predecessors, while
Webster, Marcy and Seward, have succeeded
him. Thrice a candidate for the Presidency,
his success was twice precluded by division
of those who were naturally his supporters; ;
while the final effort of his friends was de-
feated by the old game of running thlru
candidate, who deprived him of just the votes
needed to elect him, and by gigantic frauds at
the ballot-boxes.
HENRY CLAY ceased from his labOrs nearly
twenty years ago; but his influence is still
potent and benefcont. He was for forty years
our leading champion of Protection to Home
Industry, and his words of wisdom remain TO
guide the counses and animate the efforts of
bis countrymen. Thousands who listened to
his thrilling accents his fervid appeals, remain
to attest and to disseminate the truths which
he so effectively commended to the under
standings and the hearts of his cOuntrymen.
George d. Prentice left New-England about
1880 to edit the leading National Republican
journal in Kentucky and wrote, soon after
ward, leading article entitled ale is Not
Fallen - in answer to one in which Mr. Clay
had been characterized as "the fallen states
"man" When this article reached Mr.. Prem
tees former editorial associate, JOHN GREEN
LEAF WHITTIER, he was moved by it to write
as follows

CHE Is NOT FALLEN"


Not FALLEN7 No! as well the tall
And pillared Allegany fall
As well Ohio's giant tide
Roll backward on Its mighty track,
As he, COlumbia's hope and pride,
The slandered and the sorely tried,
In his triumphant course turn back.
He Is NOT FALLEN! Seelc'to bind
The chainless and unhidden wind;
OppoSe the torrents headlOng course,
And turn aside the whirlwinds force;
But deem not that the mighty mind
VIII cover before the blast of hate,
Or quail at dark and causeless i'll:
For though all else be desOlate,
1t stoOps not from its high estate;
Marius mid the ruins still.
HE Is NOT FALLEN! Every breeze
That wanders DER COlumbias bosom,
From wild PenObscots forest trees,
From ocean shore, from inland seas,
Or where the rich Magnolia's blossom
Floats, snOwlike, on the sultry wind,
Is booming onward to his ear,
A homage to his lofty mind
A NEED the falling never find
A praise which Patriots only hear.
STAR OF TIE WEST! A million eyes
Are turning gladly unto him;
The shrine OF old idolatries
Before his kindling light grows dim!
And men awake rs from dream
Or meteOrs dazzling to betray;
And bow before his purer beam,
The earnest of better day.
ALL HAIL. the hour is Fastening on
When, vainly tried by SANDERS flame,
Columbia shall behold her son
Unharmed, without a lanrel gone,
AS from the flames of Babylon
The angel guarded triad came
The slanderer shall be silent then,
His spell shall leave the minds of men,
And HIGHER glory wait upon
The WESTERN PATRIOTS future fame.

ired from the Senate, Mr.. Whittier wrote Us

The Mound City Mutual Life Insurance
Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens of the South for ma
nv reasons. We will. however, enumerate
only two or three.
/. The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce, in build
ing up towns and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, in
building our great lines Of railroad, and in
cnltivating our boundless prairies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it.
2. As it's funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail, it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a. certain and safe pro-
vision for their families, should insure in it.
3. Its Local Board Of Louisiana Directors
being composed Of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows and orphans will be protected in their
rights, when policies issued by this Company
mature by reason of death or otherwise. This
feature is peculiar to this company, Ono other
institution beyond the limits of the State hav-
ing a local board, } and is, therefore, worthy
of the highest consideration.

pany. All policies non. forfeiting.

How to Graft Grapes.

At a recent meeting of the farmers of
the American Institute. David S. Wage
ner, of Pultney, New York. who has
originated three new and distinct meth
DDS of which success is most certain in
grating grape vines. He exhibited
the instrument used in preparing the
stalk of the vine to- receive the graft.
1t consisted of a common stift-back Jaw,
with keen steel blades attached at the
end of the saw, and set at an angle in
dining to thu saws edge.
Having used the saw to cut off the
vine at such places as is considered de-
sirahle to insert the graft. the operator
instead of splitting the stalk, uses the
same saw to cut the kerr as deep as the
kerf should be inserted, and either by
drawing the saw toward himself, OF
pushing it through the kerf from him,
the steel blades at either end of the same
cut the kerr to a true level, ready to re-
oeive the scion. By this process a
quick workman can graft several hun,
bred vines per day, the seions and
stalks being cut even ard rapidly
Mr.: Wagner says that he has always
succeeded in grating grape vines with
as little per centage Of loss. as on, pear
or apple trees. He gratis the vines
sitter they have started in the spring.
