The Greek text of the Polyglot inscrip-
ton for the monument in honor of the
completion of the Suez Canal has been
composed by DIR. Reinhold Klotz, Profes-
sor Eloquenti@ at the University of Leip-
sic, in consequence of commission to
that effect which he received from Paris.
This text, literally translated, is as fol
lows:
SIN the year of the Hegifo 1882 1851
under the renowned government of the
illustrious Padisha Abdul Aziz Chan,
Emperor of the Ottomas, and under the
wise rule of the noble Ismad Pasha, Vice
roy of Egypt, this monument was erected
to celebrate the excavation of the Suez
Canal, which is destined to approximate
the nations of Europe and Asia, to multi
ply their commercial relations, to pro-
mote the benefcient conquests of civiliza-
ton and to favor more intimate union
between all the members Of the human
family. This great work of peace owes
its origin to the courageous perseverance
of Ferdinand Lesseps, with the co-opera-
ton of the principal maritime nations and
under the patronage Of the Emperor OF
the French"

Speaking of the arrival at St. Louis of

These two hundred and forty-seven are
only the advance guard of mighty host,
and should they meet with proper recep-
ton from the people among whom they
are to settle, the reserves drawn from the
vast Asiatic hive will follow as certain as
the first drops of thunder shower herald
the impending food. Coming, as they
do, to soil and climate admirably
adapted to their tastes and physical con-
stitution eagerly welcomed by popula-
ton who, possessing territory as fertile
as any on the globe, have not the neces-
sary labor to develop its resources; we
can but hope these Cinnamon are inaugu-
rating a new era for themselves and their
countrymen. The South will soon have
in her hands the weapon she needs-let
her so WELD it as to win those peaceful
victories "no less renowned than wars. "

TIME-"When look upon tombs of

the epitaph of the beautiful, every inor-
dinate desire goes out. When see the
tombs of the parents themselves, con-
slider the vanity of grieving for those whom
we must quickly follow. When / see
kings lying over those who deposed them;
when l see rival wits placed side by side,
or holy men that divided the world with
their contests and disputes, reflect with
sorrow and establishment on the little
competitions, factions, and debates OF
mankind. When read the several dates
of the tomb, of some that died as yester-
day, and some of 800 years ago, / con-
slider that great day when we shall all OF
US be contemporaries. and make our ap-
pearance together"

A Georgia 6nancier writes letter to
the Secretary of the Treasury, enclosing
a genuine ten dollar legal-tender note,
which he declares to be one of the worst
counterfeits he had ever seen, and warns
the Department to put detective on the
track of those who have placed this "spu-

Of Georgia is flooded with it. He will,
doubtless feel better when he reads the

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light:
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As tall the shades of night:
And while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving,
says, Don't stay late Tonight"
The world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world of her thou lowest
Is on the ingle side.
She waits for thy warm greeting;
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says, Don't stay late tonight"
The world is cold, inhuman
VIII spurn thee in thy fall;
The love of one pure woman
Outlasts and shames them all
Thy children will cling around thee
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then, Don't stay late tonight"

among the nominees for the House OF
Delegates. 1lr. Parkinson is young
man 81 more than ordinary ability, and
of strict integrity; and should the people
Of Ohio county elect him to represent
them in the next Legislature Of West Vir-
ginia, he will bring honor to that body.
We also sec tho name Of our old kins'
man, according to the flesh" who has
been nominated Tor the office Of City AS
SCISSOR. From tho fact that he has been
Reelected, for the last twenty years, to
this and other responsible offices by the
citizens Of Wheeling, Is proof Of his esti'
mated worth as a public servant.
