The Fear Of Death.

Men fear death, as children fear to GO
in the dark and as that natural fear in
children is increased with tales, so is the
other. Certainly, the contemplation of
death as the wages of sin and the pass
age to another world, is holy and relig-
ious; but the fear of it, as tribute due
unto nature, is weak. Yet, in religious
meditations, there is sometimes a mixture
of vanity and ofsuperstition. You shall
read in some of the friars' books of NOR
tification, that man should think with
himself, what the pain is, if he have but
his fingers ends pressed or tortured, and
thereby imagine what the pains of death
are when the whole body is corrupted and
dissolved; when many times death pass
eth with less pain than the torture of a
limb; for the most vital parts are not
the quickest of sense. And by him that
spake only as a philosopher, and natural
man, it was we'll said, "The pomp o:
death is more to be feared than death
itself" Groans and convulsions, and a
discolored face, and friends weeping, and
blacks, and obsequies, and the like,
show death terrible.
1t is worthy the observing, that there
is no passion in the mind oil man so weak
but it mates and masters the fear of
death; and therefore death is no such
terrible enemy, when man hath so many
attendants about him that can win the
combat of him. Revenge .riumphs over
death; love sights it; honor aspirein to
ii; grief flieth to; fear pre-oocupieth it !;
nay, we read, after Ohio the Emperor
had slain bimself, pity, which is the ten
derest of affections, provoked many, out
of mere compassion to their sovereign,
and as the truest sort of followers.
1t is as natural to die as to be born; and
to little infant, perhaps, the one is as
painful as the other. He that dies in an
earnest pursuit, is ike one that Is wound
ed in hot blood who, for the time, scarce
feels the hurt; and therefore mind
fixed and bent upon somewhat that is
good doth avert the dolors of death but
above all, believe it, the sweetest canticle
is, 3" Lord, now lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace. Lord Bacon.

Going into Society.

To get into what's called fashionable
society,"" does not require intelligence or
wit and virtue is not prerequisite. To
enjoy society one must go to fashionable
parties. One who has been initiated
gives the following faithful picture of
these gatherings: " If you area member
of that mysterious circle called Society
there will be some painful evenings spent
in doing your duty, standing in crowd
with white kid gloves on your hands and
weariness in your heart. We call this
enjoying ourselves. You know all about
it. Your shoes pinch you, but you can
not sit down. Your companion bores
you but, you must listen and smile. If
you try to move about, you tread on thir-
teen hideous dress trains, that drag them
selves like half dead boa constructors at
the heels of their fat possessors. You
eat cake and drink coffee, though you
know it will give you the headache in
the morning. You tell your hostess that
you had splendid time, though you
are conscious that you are telling lie,
for which your conscience il you have
Que, will reproach you severely. Thus
smirking and lying ourselves into the be-
lief that the torture Of a stand-up dress
party is pleasure, isthe greatest triumph
of modern civilization.-Rochester Ua

that some kind assistant wipes the death

On Fire Tor a Hundred Years.

The London News says; One of the
most curious phenomena in connection
with coal mining is exhibited at the
Bank Colliery, near Rotterdam, the
property Of Earl Fitzwilliam. This pit
caught fire one hundred years ago, and
all the efforts of the workmen at the time
and subsequently have been quite in.
effectual to extinguish it. A short time
ago it was ascertained that the flames
were approaching the bottom of the
shaft, and it was then resolved, if posi-
BILE, to stay their progress, 50 that they
might not extend to other parts of the
workings. AT length the Superintend
ent of the collieries, Mr.. T. Cooper, con-
ceived the idea OF building wall to
shut in the FIRE, and in order to ascertain
the best site for this wall, several of the
officials crept on their hands and knees,
through the dense sitting smoke, as far
as possible into the workings. There ef-
forts were successful, and wall is now
completed nearly one thousand yards in
length, and varying from nine inches to
FIVE feet in thickness. AT distances vary.
ing from thirty to fifty yards metal pipes
have been inserted in this wall, which are
securely plugged at the end, SO that any
time by removing the plugs, the state OF
the air on the side Of the fire, and even
the position of the fire it,elf, can be as
eertained. So intense is the heat ar:sin g
from this fire that people possessing gar
dens above the colliery declare that the
growth Of plants is materially affected,
and that they are enabled to obtain two
or three crops every year.

OF all the beautiful pictures
That hung ON Memory's wall,
Is one of a dim old forest,
That seemeth best os all
Not for its gnarl oaks Olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the vioiets golden
That sprinkle the vale below
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not Tor the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest.
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet eowslip.
1t seemeth 10 me the best.
once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that olden forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light us the down OF the thistle.
Free as the winds that blow,
We rOved there the beautiful summers.
The summers Of long ago;
But his ieet ON the hills grew weary.
And one OF the Autumn ewes
1 made Tor little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
Ny neck in a meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
Ard when the arrows .s sunset
Lodg, d in the tree-tops bright,
He fell in his saipt-lke beauty,
A sleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hung on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth best of all.

The Democratic papers are expanding
much of their energy in abusing the Re-
publicans because man named Hodge,
paymaster in the United States army, de-
faulted with a considerable amount OF
public money. Hodge is now in prison,
and will, no doubt, be convicted and con-
demned as defaulter, all of which may
be credited to the Republican officials who
arrested, tried, and will convict him.
Let US look at another picture. Tweed,
of New York, is not only defaulter and
plunderer of much more detestable
character than Hodge, and this is admit
ted even by the Democratic press. Now,
what is the Democracy of New York doing
with Tweed? On Tuesday night it held
monster meeting in his honor, and the
chances are that he will be elected to the
State Senate. The difference is very
plain. The Republicans put their de-
faulters in prison; the Democrats send
theirs to the Senate. 1t is all owing to
the way party is brought up.

graph is capable of translating the vigor-
GUS indignation Of the public.
We are satisfied that Governor Davis,
in issuing the order to quarantine the
commerce Of New Orleans out of Calves
ton, was imposed upon, and we are con-
fident that just SO soon as this suggestion
is made clear to him, as it can be by cor
rect representation of the facts, he will
recede from his hasty disposition in the
premises. There never was less reason for
apprehension than exists at present.
Every year, what are assumed to be,
sporadic cases of yellow fever appear in
our midst, as they have this season, but
such visitations were never heretofore
made the excuse for terminating commu-
nication between the city and the country.
In the first place, the medical mind is
never assured that such isolated cases are
legitimately entitled to be classified as
yellow fever, there being malarial diseases
that are quite as fatal as yellow fever, but
lacking in the quality of contagiousness
which is ascribed to that scourge. And
in the present instance it is even sug-
gested that if the cases which have been
reported are the genuine yellow fever, they
are Of so mild character as to be almost
harmless in their danger to the general
public.
DR.. Heard reports that he has visited
every person reported as sick Of the disease,
six in all, and that they are all fast recov-
ering In his opinion, there is no danger
Of any spread of the fever.
1t will be seen from the reported action
Of the authorities and the citizens, which
will be found in other. portions of the
REPUBLICAN, that our suggestion has been
promptly acted upon by the Governor, in
conjunction with a delegation of mer-
chants, and that the first telegram has
already been dispatched to Governor Da-
Wis. Collector Casey has also entered his
official representation, using very strong
argument, that since all the Texans who |
have been arrested at this port from en-
tering Texas by way of Galveston, will
proceed home overland, reaching Hous-
ton in three days, the quarantine is
liable to be avoided in that way, and is
therefore useless. We hope the week
will not close without united remon-
STRANGE from every public body in New
Orleons being sent by telegraph to the
Governor of Texas Under such pres.
sure Of protests the quarantine ought not
10 last more than a week.
We again take occasion to affirm that
if there was the least danger, We could
not find it in our disposition to suggest
this opposition TO the Galveston qus.ran-
tine. The public health Of every commu-
nifty is its most precious treasure, and if
Galveston was in peril from our suffering,
We should defend her in defending her
self. But We are SO well satisfied that
here is no danger, either here or else
where, that We insist that the quaran-
inc at Galveston is needless precaution.

An INTRUDER.

An intruder is person who thrusts
himself into places where he is not
wanted, without right, invitation or well
come. In private life gentleman will
not force himself upon others; will not
invade the right of any individual. In
public life the same rule of action governs
all honorable, intelligent and high
minded men. d..
The course of the lieutenant Governor
Of this State in forcing himself into the
executive Office without invitation has
inclined many persons to regard him in
the light of an intruder. Weare not pre-
pared, however, to believe that the Lieu
tenant Governor would knowingly be-
come an intruder either in private or pub
lie life. We have always regarded him as
a very amiable and modest man; one who
was as devoid of selfishness and rude am
bition as he was honest and gentle in
manners; in fact, a man who bore his
rank not only with the air and simplicity
of gentleman, but with determination
to make every act of his public life
model for those who should come after
him. If We have been mistaken in the
Lieutenant Governor We are sorry for it;
for it must be confessed that he has
been considered by many the best pattern
OF man of his race that has stepped into
public life since the adoption Of the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. But we still cling to the hope
that the Lieutenant Governor has not
knowingly, willfully and perversely at
tempted to make himself an intruder.
We would rather attribute his conduct to
ignorance of the law than to suppose, for
one moment, that he could, either from
his own choice or the advice of bad men.
make SO fatal a misstep. But to the facts:
According to proceedings in the Eighth
District Court, it appears that Governor
Warmoth has been compelled to institute
suit to recover portion of his salary due
him as Governor; and this necessity arises
from the action of Lieutenant Governor
Dunn, who, it would appear, has deter
mined to act as Governor without being
notified by the Governor de tacto and de
juye that his services were wanted. The
Lieutenant Governor, getting upon his
own construction Of the constitution, pro.

it's record from one end of the cotton
States to the other-waiting for some
thing more than probabilities. In this
condition of things buying is only done
to fill orders or complete shipments, to
stop up ugly gaps or to sell again imme-
diately, and opportunities for the last
process are slim. The belief is gaining
ground by advancing steps that producers
are more inclined to hold back than to
ship, and are partial to all variations

no hurry, but the distinction of one days

THE BUSINESS THAT WAS BRISK.
We find the following in the columns


the Picay,lne yesterday morning:
Business is quite brisk at the Custom
house, and the various departments appear
to have plenty Of work. The
return of the collector seems to have in
spired new energy IN all the departments.
We would like to know what kind Of
business it was that was brisk at the Gus
tophouse? Was it the figuring up of the
expenses and net proceeds of the late trip
to Texas? We know it was quite costly
trip for Uncle Sam. and Mr.. Boutwell,, ii
he gets correct report. will find it so.
Of course, it will not take the clerk who
makes out the pay rolls very long to figure
out the amount Of time 70 be deducted
from the pay roll of each of kelly's band,
who were away footing their horns in
Texas; but it will not be SO easy task to
figure out and proportion the incidental
expenses of Casey, Carter and company.
That is matter that will no doubt give
'the various departments plenty of work.
So ''the return Of the collector seems to
have inspired new energy in all the de-
partments Are we to understand that in
the absence Of the collector they had been

spondent, lethargic state-pining away.
refusing to be comforted because of the
absence oftheir beloved chief? We would
really like to know how this is. Now, as
to the ''new energy" We want to know
something about that Was it that circu-

that wake up EN- up? Now, neighbor
P;cayune, be frank. VAST not the circu-

who, had not already taken stock in the
new paper that is to be, the National Re.

salary of $50 per month. The worst of it
is, it is we'll understood among them that
any man who neslects to avail himself of
SO desirable an investment, why, off goes
his head. Among the few who have sub
scribed, we make no doubt that more than
half of them have done so to keep their
places. 1t must not be forgotten that this
is not the first time this newspaper game
has been played upon the employees Of
the Customhouse. How many had the
Citizens: Guard laid on their desks. and
were called upon to pay years subscrip-
ton against their will? From what we
can hear, or rather think, some folks wish
the collector had not come back for SOME
time. The energy he inspires among the
employees is very depicting -to the
pocket.
