The CORPSEs OF THE GREAT.-The
embalming of Mazzini's body recalls the
singular fate which has attended the re-
mains OF so many distinguished men.
In fact, an extremely interesting volume
might be made of the posthumous ad
ventures of the bodies of those whose
memory the world has sought to keep
alive. There is but little doubt that the
tombs in the Pantheon at Paris, which
are shown to contain the remains of Vol
taire and Rosseau, are, in fact, empty,

The Northern Msthodists of the more
bigoted stamp, have. as our people we'll
know, made politics part of their re-

said, 'if Greeley was elected the lives of
oarpet-baggers would not be worth q

Louisiana All Right, at Last.

HOohsA6na All kkaRnts At Last
The good people OF Louisiana seem to
have finally come to their better senses,
and ceasing the wranglings, quarrels and
silly factions into which they have been
divided for some months past. have
united, Liberal Republicans, Reformers
and Democrats, in a common effort to
overthrow Grantism and the continua-
tion Of corrupt csrpet-bag rule in their
State. A fusion ticket has been agreed
upon, and seems to meet with universal
appreciation, both from the Liberal Re-
publioans and from the Democrats. To
the latter has been conceded tho nomi-
nation of Governor, in the person Of
Mr. McEnery, who headed the straight
Democratic ticket; and the Liberal Rs.
publicans secure the Lieutenant Cover
norship to their former candidate for
Governor, D. B. Penn. The rest of the
State officers and the Presidential elect
ors are equally divided between the two
combining factions. This wise action
on the part OF the Liberals and Demo
crats will, We have every reason to be.
liove, restore the State to good govern
ment and secure her electoral vote to
Greeley and Brown in November. There
is only difference of two or three thou
sand votes. any way, between the Demo
Gratis and the Radical party, and when
the Liberal Republicans are taken from
the latter aud combined with the
former, there is every ground for
hope that the Radicals will be
completely overthrown. Once de-
feated in their aspirations for public
office. for which only they move and
live and have their being, the mere po-
iitical adventurers who have swarmed
into Louisiana since the war, just as
they have done in South Carolina. seek
ing positions by pandering to the fears
and prejudices OF. the colored race, and
money by pluudering the public Golfers,
will leave once and for all, and their
pestiferous presence need never be feared
again. But whatever may be the result
OF the approaching State and Presiden-
tial elections in Louisiana, the worthy
citizens of that troubled commonwealth
will at least have the great consolation,
even should they be defeated, of know
ing that their failure was oaused by no
foolish divisions among themselves.
The Liberal Republicans of that State
number, We understand, in their ranks
many Of the most influential and re-
spectacle Of the colored race, and the
temporary combination now made be-
tween them and the better class of the
white people will. doubtless, eventuate
in the formation OF permanent party
there, which. while maintaining the
personal rights and privileges Of all, will
not trample upon the rights Of property,
as Radicalism in the South has invaria-
bly, done.

Some years ago, little five years old

Why do you ask?" "Oh, only wanted
to know" and for time the subject
seemed to have faded from the child's
mind. But it soon cropped out again.
"Are you sure, mother, that father will
go to Heaven when he dies?" eyes, my

THE NORTH CAROLINA FRAUD.-Some
days ago (snys the Philadelphia Age) we
published q statement in relation to the
manner in which colored men were con.
veyed from Washington to North Caro-
lina and voted in that State for Caldwell
and his Radical colleagues. That state
ment was denied by the journals of that
renominationist. But the denial is now
met by the fact that the Liberal Repub-
lican Committee in Washington has now
in its possession the afidavits of over
fifty colored men who voted in that State
at the last election. Hundreds more Of
like documents can be procured if ne
cessary. But enough are on hand to
show the manner in which Caldwell was
returned on paper, and justify the Legis-
lature in giving Judge Merrimon the
legal return. That the latter was legally
elected is no longer matter of doubt or
dispute among Intelligent men of either
party in North Carolina. Preparations
are making to contest the return for Mr..
Caldwell when the Legislature meets,
and the result OF that action will be the
unearthing Of most monstrous frauds on
the part Of the GRANTEES, and the inau-
guration of Judge Merrimon as Govern
or Of North Carolina.

on it, and I have heard men say that

day were nothing but cabbage leaves.
Tobacco stores are mostly kept by

them bunch of cigars, which is glued
in the Injun's hands, and is made of
wood also. Hogs do not like tobacco;
neither do I. tried to smoke Cigar

he was O steamboat, and as they never

whether she likes tobacco or not. There

GRAIN IN ENGLAND. John Bull, al
though be has plenty to wear, is likely
to be in distress this year for something
to eat. According to an exhaustive re-
view of the English crops in the Mark
Lane Express, which is regarded as the
highest British authority, the season has
been remarkably unfavorabIe; the rains
have been excessive, and in many of the
agricultural Counties of England where
cutting has not commenced, the wheat
has lodged, sprouted and mildewed; /;
while where the grain has been cut the
shocks are stated to have been thorough
~ saturated. It is remarked (12th inst.
that only about one.fourth of the crop
had been reaped, and it was difficult to
say at that date whether hot sunshine or
more rain would prove the most disas-
trous. On this point our London con-
temporary adds: ''We now want for the
country's good set in of cold, dry wea-
ther, aud if this be denied US, matters
may be serious. II is just the same in
France, where all confidence has va
nished, and the Paris market has already
risen three shillings per quarter on
wheat. But France is not the only
country besides England which feels the
severity OF the weather. Belgium, Hol
land, Germany, Poland and Russia are
full of apprehensions; and Hungary
plainly asserts that the gathering there
is 80 unequal and inferior that exports
thence are hopeless" TO add to this
discouraging aspect, the same authority
says the potato disease in England and
in some parts Of Ireland is bad. With
the threatened serious Limitation of the
food crops of the United Kingdom, a
higher ruling of the prices of breadstuffs
would seem to be inevitable. Fiue wea-
ther may make partial amends for some
of the damage that has been inflicted,
but under any circumstances the yield
can hardly be brought up to the proper
tions OF ordinary seasons, nor can the
crop be equal to an average quality.

but her parents were determined on her
marrying Dresseoth, who lives in Buffalo.
There were quite number of neighbors
present at the ceremony, which was
much delayed by the obstinacy of the
bride, who refused to stand up or to
answer question. The two were, how
ever, declared legally married. An hour
after, the bride attacked her husband
"tooth and nail" scratching his face and
tearing out his shirt bosom. She de-
clared that she repudiated the whole
transaction, and got out of the house in
her wedding clothes, and had not been

him that she loved him, but was s'shy,"

home last evening. content to let the

PHGN1xANA.-Never marry for spite.
Life without an object is vagabond
sluggard.
A bow should not be always bent
particularly an elbow.
True courage is cool and calm. The
bravest Of men have the least brutal,
bullying insolence, and in the very time
of danger are found the most serene and
free.
It is the nature of man to be dis
pleased with everything that disappoints
favorite hope or fattering project; and
it is the folly of too many of them to
condemn without investigating ciroum-
stances.
Some persons seem to forget that mere
talking snot converting; that it requires
two to make conversation, and that
each must be in turn q listener; but no
one can be an agreeable companion who
is not as willing to listen as to talk.
Fidelity, good humor, and compla-
cenoy of temper, outlive all the charms
