FOR THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
THF LAST SONG.


We are not disposed to be senti-
mental-our prosaie occupation for
bids it we do not claim a profusion
of what are called the "gentler feel
ings; nor are we eXtravagant on the
subject Of music. But we confess
to feeling of mournful tenderness,
when we read that brief paragraph
which told us that GRIsI, when dy-
ing, sang the exquisite air of "CaStG
DiUa." The echo of that music
steals into our heart and demands
sympathy. 1t came not as a solemn
dirge over nations hero not as
the familiar notes Of "Chevy Chase"
that stirred the ancient heart Of
Sidney not as the pulseless mrr-
muir Of vocal Memnon but rather
like the plaintive notes of the dying,
swan, softly and alphabetically.
We could not but contrast the
fragile, delirious woman of yesterday
with the peerless Prima Donna Of
the past who, as "Queen Of the
OPERA" extorted the admiration of
the musical world ; who drank to
the bottom the cup Of professional
popularity who fitted before the
aristocratic audiences of every Eu-
ropean capital, delighting them by
her gushing melody, and bewitching
them by her personal charms who
made the human breast to know the
power of music's spell
wherever rage can rouse or pity melt
The language Of song IS known and felt :;
who by her passionate art could
touch a chord which vibrated re-
sponsively in the human heart.
Then we see her falling from her
dazzling eminence-the spell Of that
enhancing voice broken the grand
symphonies with which she made
the hearts Of so many to throb, flee
in impressive silence forever. She
is powerless now. An unfeeling and
ungrateful mob Kisses her from the
boards, and she sinks for sometime
from the notice Of the world.
Recently, however, she was sum-
moned to sing her farewell song. -
Not on the glittering stage; not be-
fore crowded audience; not in the
pristine beauty Of face and form
not with the enchanting voice OF
old but in a sick room, amid a few
friends, with an emaciated form, 8
wan face and a feeble voice. She
was called to utter her last "Casta
Diva" in the grand combination
opera of death! She fulfilled hel
engagement, she performed her par
nobly, and as the last cadence dice
away, the curtain fell, and the gen.
tie soul Of GINLIA GRIsI was wafteC
to the dim shores Of Foreverland

now Literary Editor of the New

Mr.. Lee IN letter published on May
oath: "In the fall of 1860, gem
tleman walked into my office, an
nounced himself as Lieut.. Lee. |
had known him by reputation as a
literary man, but never had met
him. The first glance showed man
of no ordinary abilities. There was
classic mould about the features
that enchanted and charmed me-
The severe but pensive aspect, the
gentle and amiable lines Of the
mouth, the soft light of the eye, and
the expression of Intelligence that
seemed rather to repose upon the
sorrowful, beardIess tace, told that
! it was the face of no ordinary man.
The brows, slightly contracted, in
dictated pain of spirit. There APP
poared to be some inward torture,
which the sufferer would conceal
from the world there seemed to be
a secret shaft ranking in his breast
which would receive a new barb if
exposed to the cold and pitiless
glance of the vulgar crowd /; there
was a shrinking reserve and yet
an openness and frankpess which
could only belong to nature singu-
larly proud and sensitive. From
our first meeting we were fast friends.
As Poet, Capt. Lee
has written some fine pieces, breath
ing the true poetic spirit. AS a
| critic, he is brilliant, flashing,
trenchant, though not always sound
and logical. Very pathetic, too,
touchingly sad is he at times, when
the spirit of melancholy overshadow-
ed him, and spreads half-conceal-
ing veil over his piercing vision,
shutting out things external, forcing
him to take an intropsect and re
veal the feeling of human nature.
Personally, he is gem
orally admired by his brother au-

welcome, and the Association may

WILL YOU SEND DELEGATES ?

A prominent gentleman OF this
County suggests, by letter, a call
tor a democratic meeting, at an ear
Iy day to appoint delegates to the
State Convention on the Goth. This
is a very important matter and
should be attended to at once and in
a way indicated by the writer, by
the selection of "sound thinking
men" Conventions will also be
held at an early day to nominate
candidates for County, State and
Federal offices and it is not too ear,
ly to begin to move if we intend TO
do our duty in the stirring struggle
approaching.

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
CoNV ENTION.

No one can confidently predict
the action of the Convention to as
semble at Baltimore in July; but,
as the South will WELD, on the Gree
ley sensation, a controlling influence,
and as the old Calhoun wing Of the
Southern democracy are mainly for
Greeley, he may receive the nomina-
ton or the recommendation Of the
party. If the Convention is salts
fed that a thorough democratic pro-
gramme means failure, we must
make up our minds 10 accept the
least Of inevitable evils.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY

We gather from the "Rural Cares
linian," for June, several items of
interest to our farmers. The above
heading is the name of a Society,
composed of farmers, having its
centre in Washington City and clubs,
formed and to be formed, in the
counties of the various States, with
a view to mutual agricultural inn
provement and enlightenment with
regard to all the interests Of the pro-
| fession.
The "Carolinian" says in refer
ence to the effect of Land Plaster
upon crops, that it is Il well known
fact that Plaster Paris, or gypsum,
or land plaster, as it is variously de-
nominated, acts upon certain species
of vegetation with remarkable pow
err. BY sowing it upon the common
red clover the yield of hay may be
more than doubled.
Plaster acts as a condenser of the
ammonia of the atmosphere and OF
the soil. Plaster of Paris is com
posed of sulphuric acid and line
A bushel of this substance, if it act
ed as a manure, would clearly exert
but very small effect upon an acre
of land by its chemical action upon
plants, or by entering into combma-
ton in the growth of crops. by OBJ
servation, however, it is concluded
that Plaster of Paris acts as con-
denser of ammonia, which is found
everywhere in the atmosphere and
in all soils to a limited eXtent--that
it holds this most subtle and power
full manure in its grasp, fixes 1t and
gives it out to the growth Of plants
as they require it, instead Of allow
ing the ammonia to pass away and
remain uufxed and unadapted to
plant growth. There are a few
phenomena which fully establish the
fact that this is the true explanation
Of the action of plaster; That only
a certain amount will act. Thus a
bushel to the acre, sown upon a
lover field, acts as well as fifty
misunderstanding that it does not
.ct as manure, as a stimulant, or
gastric juice, or in any other manner
analogous to any of these agencies.

THE PBNNsYLvANIA DEMocRA

rhe following is the first and lead
ing resolution Of the Pennsylvania
democracy recently in session.:
Resolved, That the Democratic
party, while in the future, as in the
past, firmly upholding the Constitu-
ton of the United States as the
foundation and limitation of the
powers of the General Government
and the safe shield of the liberties
of the people, demands for the citi-
zens the largest freedom consistent
with public order, and for every
State the right of self-government
that to uphold the former and pro-
tect the latter, the Democracy OF
Pennsylvania can find no better plat
form upon which to stand, than the
great leading principles enumerated
in the inaugural address of President
Jefferson and the farewell address OF
the immortal Jackson. Upon these
two great State papers we plant our
selves and enter the contest of 1872.

WHAT KEEPS OUR PEOPLE poor


We find a partial answer to this
question in an article in one of oul
exchanges, which says, I'VE have as
fine timber-aud an abundance OF il
as ever grew on any part OF the
globe. still we send off to buy our
wagons, spokes, hubs, axe handles
mattock handles, etc, etc, We
produce the finest and best iron thai
is made anywhere, still we send to the
New England States for the most OF
our pIows, hoes, rakes, axes, etc.,
etc Most of these articles should
be manufactured here at home. We
have fine land capable of producing
almost everything, still every spring
we have to send off for our potato
seed, and garden and many of our
field seeds. While our people pur-
sac this cut.throat policy they will
ver,s IN "hewers of wood and drawers
Of water" tbs foolishness and the
greatest of folly to talk about devel-
oping the resources of the country,
while such a state Of affairs contin-
ue. In order to be an Independent
and self-sustaining people we must
devote more attention to agriculture,
the mechanical arts aud manufactur-
ing What farming is done let it
be done better make enc acre pro-
duce as much as four acres under
the present system of cultivation
let machine shops dot over the whole
country, and when plows, hoes,
rakes, wagons, buggies, etc, are
wanted go there and get them made
upon the prosperity of the farmer
it gives him a home market for
his produce. five expect to be a
great people we must support and
sustain home institutions-we must
produce our own garden and field
seeds, and quit sending our money
away to buy ten thousand articles
that can just as well be manufactur-
ed here as anywhere else. We have
plenty of money to answer our pur-
poses if we would only keep it in
our midst; we can do this by buy
ing less and producing more. What
would be'thought of farmer vino
owned good farm and every yoal
would have to buy his bread lie
ought to starve, says every one,
That's exactly our position. We
have everything within our reacl
and still we are dependent upol
other sections for many things W.
use and consume. Suppose We turf
our attention to this subject and il
the future try to live, in most part
upon what we produce and manu-
factare ourselves"
Yes, we not only have abundance
of the finest timber, and iron a so
and climate unsurpassed in agricuI
tural advantages-but we produc
the raw material, cotton, and pa,
nearly all the profits of that prodno
ton to manufactures abroad to hav
it made into fabrics for our con
sumption. Until we encourage an
develop mechanical and manutactu'
ing enterprises at home, We ca
never hope for that prosperity whic
should distinguish this favored sec
ton Of the South.
