present the skull of Shahsy oa. =.
He is under the impression thAt
somebody has dug up the skull

is a mistake. 1t is a fact, howe7-
er. that plaster mask of Shaks-
peare, taken apparently from his
face Immediately after death, was
discovered some years ago in the
collection Of an ancient German
family near Dusseldorf. 1t has
for few years past been IN the
possession Of Professor Owen, of
London, who has kept it in a
glass casein the British Museum.
Many photographs of it have
been taken, and it is..probablc
that it is some rumor about
these which has excited the in

~ The New York World
says truly: The Radical party is
the party of strife, turmoil and
conflict. 1t is the enemy of the
public peace. 1t fomented dis
cord and encouraged riots in the
South for the purpose of delaying
reconstruction, and as an excuse
to use the military in the elections.
1t keeps one section of the coun-
in an unsettled and uncertain con-
dition, injuring commerce, busi-
ness and industry, for the sake of
party success. 1t sends military
to one State. and declares martial
law to frlghten people from vo-
ting against its candidate. 1t
sends military into another State
to force a railroad and carpet-bag
ring on the people. 1t has relied
for success in the past on the cry,
of a bloody shirt" The scenes in
Baton Rouge and Denaldsonville
furnish fresh proofs of the entire
Of these remarks of

Briefly, the essence Of all vulgar
ity lies in want of sensation. Sim
pie and innocent vulgarity is
merely an unframed aud undevel-
oped bluntness of body and mind
blu: in true inbred vulgarity,
there is a deathful callousness,
which, in extremity, become ca
pable of every sort of bestial ha-
bit and crime, without fear, with
out pleasure, without horror, and
without pity. 1t is in the blunt
hand the dead heart, in the dis
eased habit in the hardened con-
science, that men become vulgar;
they are forever vulgar; precisely
in proposition as they are inca

The cast of her beauty was so

her temper was so little mingled
with the common characteristics
of woman; it had so little caprice,
SO little of vanity, 80 utter an ab-

Led us to victory.
Out Of its scxtbard, where full long

Ror.ed from its rest hy the battle song,
Shielding the feeble. shifting The strong,
Guarding the right. av-nging the wrong
Cleaned the sword of Lee.
Forth from its scahbard, high in air.
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw II cleaning there.
And knew who bore it, knsIt to swear
That where that sword led they would dare
TO follow and to die.
Out Of its scatbard! Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
Nor b'aver l''ed for brighter land,
Nor brighter land had a cause As grand
Nor cause . chief like Lee
Forth from its scabbard! How We prayed
That sword might victor be!
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore Of aid.
W. still hoped on while cleaned the blade
OF noble Robert Lee!
Forth from it scabhard! All in vain!
Fouh flashed the sword of Lee!
