Close the door lightly bride the BREATH
Our little earth angel is talking with Death;
Gently he woes him, he wishes to stay,
His arms are about him he bears him away
Music comes floating down from the dome
Angels are chanting the sweet welcome home;
Come stricken weeper come to the bed
Gaze on the sleeper our RoLLA is dead.
Smooth out the ringlets, close the blue eye
No wonder such beauty was claimed in the sky
Cross the hands gently, Ger the white breast;
Do like wild spirit strayed from the blest.
Bear him out softly,-this idol of ours
Let his grave-slumber be mid the sweet flow'rs.

A NIGGER CANDIDATE FOR THE VICE
PRESIDENCY.
From the New York Day Book. 7
A Consistent Move.

From the New York Day Book.
Vice President Colfax has written a letter
to one of his political confreres, announcing
his determination to retire from public life
into the shades of oblivion at the close of
his present official term He reminds us of
the military gentleman who, Just before the
conflict opened, told his company that there
was going to be big fight, and that they
would catch h-ll they had better, there
fore, scatter at the earliest opportunity. As
he was a little lame, he believed he would
skedaddle now. The letter is written to
Theodore Titcn, who makes the following
comments upon the subject !:
"The next Vice President of the United States
must be a Negro. If Mr. Revels were an able
and brilliant man, who had made his mark on the
Nation, he would inevitably be the candidate
But he is not man of sufficient calibre and
prestige. The one man of all others is Mr.
Frederick Douglass. As il is an American habit
to nominate candidate for years in advance of
his election (in order that coming events NAV
cast their shadows before,) we take a profound
pleasure, at this early day, in nominating as Mr.
SohaA successor, MIR. freder1ck Douglas, of
the State of New York"
Now, this is consistent and logical, but
rough on Revels. The nigger Senator was
heralded into his high place with tremen-
dous flourish Of trlmpets. The Tribune,
whose opinion is of vast deal more conse-
quence than Tilton's, said he was man of
brains and intellect, and of cabre which
would compare more favoraby with the
average bore of the Senatorial body. Wilson,
of Massachusetts, complimented Revels
highly, we remember, after his maiden
speech others, also, of the Mongrcl tribe
who disgrace the Senate Chamber laid on
their compliments with the trowel. Now,
we find Theodore Tilton, of the Independent
" going back" on his niger, declaring he has
not sufficient calibre and prestige for sue
cessor of Colfax. We think this is rather
rough on Revels. But Tilton is consistent
in his principles, let us see if his party will
be he goes for Fred Douglas the "next" in
turn, as they say in the barber shops, and

The SITUATION IN EUROPE. Prussiar
lines have encircled Paris and considerable
fighting has lately taken place outside of the
city Notifications, in which the French claim
temporary victories. Marshal Bazine has
been doing heavy fighting to break the Prus
sian lines around Metz and succeeded il
opening passage and receiving large sup
plies, but was finally driven back into the
Notifications. The garrison of Strasbure
capituated on last Monday-17, 900 French
soldiers laying down their arms and becom-
ing prisoners to the Prussians The latest
and most startling news of the week is con-
tanned in dispatch from London of Thurs
dav, which says:
The startling news of the massing of an i'm
mense Russian army on the frontiers of Prus-
.sia is conveyed this morning in special from
a London correspondent. 1t it stated in ad-
dition that the Russian Minister at the court
of Berlin, has been instructed to demand OF
Prussia a full and categorical explanation Of
her purposes and policy in continuing wal
with France.
There is great nneasness in Berlin and
London. A Cabinet meeting in the latter
capital, which was to have been held on Fri
day, has been called for to-day in consequence
of the urgent dispatches from Lord Lyons,
British Minister at Tours, who has beseeched
England to interfere and compel peace before
all Europe is set in flames.

fact is that Englishmen will fight before they

during the American war should be dpoiogi-cd
for. American correspondents represent that
warlike spirit pervsdes Brother Jonathan
