The Plains OF Abraham.

These plains, just beyond the western
walls of the city are the greatest attrac-
ton of Quebec. 1t was here, on these
grassy slopes, that Wolfe overthrow in
1859 the power of France in North
America. The noble and pathetic
drama is familiar to all--how Wolfe,
floating on the waters of the little cove
in his barge, as he moved to the assault
repeated Grays Elegy in a Country
Churchyard," and was heard to murmur,
" | would prefer to be the author of that
poem to the glory of beating the French
tomorrow" how he dragged his cannon
up yonder slant which permits access to
the nights; and how he fell in the mo-
ment Of victory. AS you wander idly
over the peaceful fields to-day, the drama
seems to be again enacted before your
eyes; the grassy upland swarms with
French and English, shouting, yelling,
delivering close volleys, and then rush
ing into the hand-to-hand encounter:
again the smooth-bore muskets rattle,
the clumsy culverins rumble, Wolfe is
leading his men, to fall anon with his
body pierced with three bullets, nearly
at the same moment when Montcalm too
is struck; for in this bitter struggle the
two leaders are both TO surrender their
brave lives.
On the field rises a marble shaft bear
ing the inscription, Here died Wolfe,
victorious" In the chapel of the Ursu-
line convent, within the city, is slab on
which is cut, Honour Montcalm lie
Destiu, en- lui der obant la Victorie Ia
recompense per une mort glorieusel
" Destiny, in depriving him of victory,
requited him with a glorious DEATH
And the great Englishman, his opponent,
died gloriously, too, murmuring, God |
be praisedl then l die happyr' when as
sured that the day was won. The sol
der spoke there; and soon after the
brave and gentle spirit, who had gone
into the battle repeating the tender lines
of Gray's "Elegy," and coveting the
peaceful glories of poesy, surrendered
his soul to God, falling asleep in the
arms of victory.

Pass Him In.

This forenoon colored person named
Alfred Owens presented himself at the
Criminal Courtroom, and said to Dep
uty Sheriff Fraime: II want a pass to
go into the Jail and see my partner. "
whats your name2" asked the Sheriff.
ALFRED Owens, replied the pass-seeking
darby. 81 think you can have pass,
the Sheriff answered. =" Mr.. Capers, is
there not an indictment against AL
fred Owens on record?" Captain Dick
Capers, the Clerk of the Court, reached
up for a bundle of papers, and handed
the Sheriff warrant for the arrest Of
Alfred Owens on the charge of mule
S 'ealing, the Indictment having been
found several months since, but the de-
fen, liant could not be found. Calling
one IF his deputies, Sheriff Fraime said;
Take Mr.. Alfred Owens to the county
Jail, and pass him in and take a receipt
for his body from the jailer." At pres
emit Mr.. Owens, the mule admirer, is
rooming with his partner whom he was
30 anxious to see. But the pass was
given him in a way he despised.

MURRArs AMONG Mich COWS.
A Number of Dead Cows at the Mem.
phfs Diaries.

At large dairy in the southeastern
portion of the suburbs of the city eight
cows have died of murrain within the
last forty-eight hours. AT another dairy
in the same neighborhood several COWS
have died of the same terrible dis
ease. From these diaries milk has
been sold IN this city up to yester-
day morning. It is needless to state
that milk from a COW sick with the muir
rain is poisonous and deadly. These
COWS were brought from Arkansas "a few
weeks since, and it is more than prob
able that the disease will spread, unless
the greatest precaution is taken by own
Iers of cattle, and especially by owners of
diaries in the vicinity of the city. The
authorities should at once investigate
the matter, in the absence of Board Of
Health, and direct the sanitary force
to visit the numerous diaries near the
city and prohibit the sale of milk from
any dairy where COWS have died OF muir
rain until a proper medical examination
has been made. The fact that murrain
has killed mich COWS at our diaries
within the last twenty-four hours is be-
yond dispute, and it behooves our au-
thorities and citizens to act in the mat
ter so that the disease may be sup
pressed and its transmission to persons
using milk may be prevented The fol-
lowing is said to be specific against
the spread Of the disease among cattle;
Take equal portions of salt ana SCOT
found in chimneys and stove-pipes, mix
with little bran and give it to the cattle
twice a week.

ARomnnce of HInverr.

The Norfolk Virginian mentions ro-
mantle incident in the life of negro
man named David Wake, who was sold
and taken to New Orleans thirty-two
years ago: At the time he was living as
man and wife with a woman by the
name of Nancy Gibbs. He remained
in New Orleans until last year, when he
paid a brief visit to this city and re-
turned home. A few days since he
packed up bag and baggage and came
back to Norfolk to live. One of his first
acts on arriving here was to procure a
marriage license, and the next evening
he and his former wife were legally
united, he being eighty-three and she
seventy-four years of age. Such con-
stancy and indubitable evidence of affec-
ton outliving time and absence deserves
notice Both negroes were slaves of
the old regime, and are both highly re-
specied.
