DRIFTING.


NV soul to day is far away,
Sailing the Vesuvan Bay:
My winged boat, bird ahoat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote.
Round purple peaks 1t sails and seeks
Blue inlcts aud their crystal creeks.
Where high rocks threw, through deeps below,
O'erlOoklng the volcanic lands.
Far vague and dim, the mountains swim,
While on Vesuvius misty brim,
with Outstrctched handa tho gray smoke stand
O'erloOkng the volcanic lands.

And yonder, buest of the isles,
Calm apri waits, her sapphire gates
Beguillng to her bright estates.

Under the walls where swclls the falls

At peace lie, blown softly by,
A eli nd upon this liquid sky.
The day, no mild Is heavens own child,

The airs feel around mo steal
Are murmuring to the murmuring keel.
Over tho rail my hand trail
Within the shadow Of the sail,
A Joy intense the cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy Incidence.
With dreadful eyes my spirit lies
Where summer sings and never dies
O'cvcrveod with vines, she grows and shines,
Among her future oil and wines.
Her children hid, the cliffs amid,
Are gambOling with the gambollng kid;
Or down the walls, with tipsy calls,
Laugh on the walls like waterfalls
The isher's dhild, with resses wild,
Into the smooth, bright sand beguied,
With glowing lips, sings as she skps,
Or gaze at tho far-Oll ships,
YOn deep bark goes where traffic blows,
From lands of sun to lands Of SHOWS
This happier one its course Is run
From lands of snow 10 lands of sun.
Oh, happy ship, to rise and Dip

The Confederate Cotton Loan.


The London telegraph says edi-
torially: "We feel no surprise at the
announcement from Washington
that the British and American Com
mission has declined to admit the
liability of the United States for
debts contracted by the Confeder-
ates. This decision, of course, shuts
out the claims advanced by the I'M
fortunate holders of Confederate
cotton bonds, who have so long agi-
tated for something like a recogni-
ton of the bonds. Nothing else was
to be expected. 1t does not at all
matter whether the bondholders'
convention were right in the suspi-
cion which they expressed to Lord
Granville, that the rejection of their
demands was pre-arranged conclu-
sion. The simple truth had better
be admitted at once. 1t was absurd
to suppose that the Americans would
ever admit of such a claim. We have
only to put ourselves in their posi-
ton and to suppose an analogous
case. II q Fenian instruction oc-
Cured in Ireland and managed to
maintain itself, largely through pc
euniary aid contributed by American
sympathiZers; and if, on the sup
preston of the revolt, those citizens
of the United States who had lent
money to its ringleaders, asked us to
reimburse the amount, we should
receive the application in a way that
nero contempt would hardly eX-
press. We should no doubt decline
to discuss the matter"

SMALL POx.
A Remedy--Cut i. out.

The following small pox remedy
was given to the public by a CORES
pendent Of the Stockton (CalifOrnia)
Herald, who says:
81 herewith append q recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure small pox, though the pit
tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered COW pox in England, the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his head, but when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-published
! this remedy as a panacea for small
pox. it passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and cOnquers in
every instance. 1T is harmless when
taken by a well person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the re-
cipe as 1 have used it to cure my
children of scarlet fever; here it is
as have used il to cure the small
pox. When learned physicians said
the patients must die, it cured: Sui
phate of zinc, one grain; fox-glove
(digitalis), one grain; half tea
spoonful of sugar; mix with two ia
blespoonfuls of water. When thor
oughly mixed, add four ounces of
water. Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in II
hours. For a child, smaller doses
according to their age. If counties
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need of pest
houses. Ifyou value advice and eX-
perience, use this for that terrible
disease"
The present is good time to as
certain the value of the foregoing
remedy.

Three Drawbacks.


The Nashville Enterprise, paper
that is doing great service in fos-
tering and developing the true in
terests of Tennessee, thus speaks of
three drawbacks to the State:
Every large and generous enter
prise, one calculated to enlighten
the people and better their fortunes,
and give them real independence in
stead ola fancied one, is opposed by
three classes of men at tine present
time.
First The Indifferent class, those
who either through ignorance and
idleness, or through selfish absOrp-
ton in their private affairs, give no
thought to public movements which
require study. This indifference is
equivalent to actual opposition.
Second The enyious class, those
whom accident has made wealthy,
and who knowing that tn eir wealth
is their only power, are ever on tae
alert to crush the first move that
will tend to making their neigS bors
rich.
Third The political hacks--men
who have led the people by the nose
for years, think and act as though
they had acquired a fee simple to
the peoples nose, and who below
Justify treason = treason when
ever there is an effort to educate the
people, for they know that their
power depends upon the ignorance
of the people. Efete old humbugs,
themselves, they go about insinuat-
ing that an enterprise is humbug
if It don't help them to office. Like
the fish which gets its prey by mud
dying the water, they seek to keep
the public mind darkened, in order
that they may the easier seize the
spoils of office. But there are men
in Tennessee who have seen the
possibility of intelligent labor, and
men who have the interests of their
fellow men at heart, men who are
willing to labor and wait, for gene
raj good, and who are ever ready to
extend a helping hand and kind
greeting to every generous impulse,
let it come from where it will
There are many such, and their
number is increasing from the first
class every day. Nothing of a pub
lie benefit can be expected from the
second and third classes but fune-
rails.

The Clarion, the leading organ of
the Democracy of Mississippi, pub
fishes excerpts from recent messages
of three Governors, Walker of Vir-
ginia, Leslie of Kentucky, and
Brown, of Missouri-the first a con-
servative, the second, an old-line
Wing, and the third a Republican.
Each of these Governors unite in
protesting against the usurpations
OF the Grant administration, as de-
structive of the liberties of the
country. The logical result of this
concurrent sentiment should be, the
Clarion says, thorough and COM
plete union of the forces they rep
resent, in the pending Presidential
election. The highest statesman

be displayed by a contamination of
this kind. othis end the ambition

tion-the rivalries of partisans-the

tion is, how are these elements to

Filled the house with echoes sweet.

Tho the stars still vigils keep.
