POUND Drowned.

On last Friday night man named VIM.
Moore, who lives near cambridge, in Jefferson
county, left home, as it was supposed, on bust
ness which would not detain him long, but as
he was absent all night, his children became
alarmed and went to look for him on Saturday
morning. He was found about quarter Of o
mile from home lying in ditch, dead.
The unfortunate man was under the influence
of liquor and it is presumed he fell in the ditch
and was unable to get out and so met a horrible
death by o slow process of drowning. The fam
lily of the unfortunate man heard some one call
ing during the night, but not thinking il pos
sible any one could be in danger paid no atten-
tention, and are now satisfied it was Moore.

We welcome you, Lords of The Lend Of the Sun!
The voice of the many sounds feeby through one !;
An! would 'twere voice Of more musical tone.
But the dog star is here ana the song bfds nave
flown.
And what can I sing that cheat Won Of smiles,
We beralds of peace from the Orient isles?
If ONLY the Jubilce-Why did you wait?
You are welcome, but oh you're a little too late
We have erected our brothers of Ireland auG France
Round the fiddle of Strauss we have joined IL the
We have lagered Herr saro, that fne-looking man.
And glorified Godfrey, whose name it Is Dan
What pity we've missed it and you've missed IL
We had day ready and waiting for you
We'd have shown you-proyided OF course, you had
You'd have heard-no, you wouldn't, because it was
dumb.
And then the great organ the chorus's shout
Like the mixture tetotalers call f" Cold without -
A minglinp of elements strong but not sweet:
And the drum, just referred to, that q" couldn't be
beat"
The shrines of our pilgrims not like your own,
Where white Fusiyama lifts proudly its cone.
THE snow-manted mountains we SEQ on the fan
That coos hot cheeks with breeze from Japan
But ours the wide temple where worship Is free
AZ the win of the prairie, the wave of the sea;
You build your own ait&r Wherever you VIII,
For the roof of that temple Is over you STILL
one dome overarches the star-spangled shore;
You may enter the Pope's the Puritan's door,
Or pass with the Buddhist his gateway of bronze,
For priest is but man. be he bishop or bonze.
And the lessons we teach with the sword and the
pen,
Il to all OF Gods children, We also are men
II YOU wrong us We smart, il you prick us we bleed,
1t you love w, quarrel with color or creed "
Youql find us a well-maning, frce-spoken crowd,
Good-natured enough but little too loud
To be sure, there is always a bit of Il row
when we choose our Tycoon and especially now;
For things are so mixed, how's fellow to know
What party he's of, and what vote he shall throw?
White is getting black, and blacks getting 80
white,
Republic rat Dem-ican--cant get 'em right
Youll take 1t all calmly--'ve want you to see
What peaceable fight such contest can be;
And of one thing be certain, however it ends,
You will find that our voters have chosen your
friends.
II the horse that stands sadded ia first in the race,
You will greet your old friend with the weed in his
face
And if the white hat and the White House agree,
Youl find II. q. really as loving as he.
But oh, what a pity-once more / must say
That we could not have joined in a Japanese day "
A chorus of thousands all singing in tune
God bless the Mikado! Long live the Tycoon!
The Lord of the Mountain looks down from his
crest,
AZ the banner OF morning unfurls in the West.
The Eagle was also the friend of the Sun
You are welcome The song of the cage-bird is

THE SALE OF ARMS.
4 Nut for Carl schur1 and the German
RepUbIicans

4 Su; for Carl SchurZ and the German
Republicans
The Cleveland Leader publishes the
following letter, written by DIR. Meme,
of the Cleveland Anzelger, contirma-
tory of the statement of DR.. Canesus,
United States Consul at Vienna, to the
effect that Germany sold arms to the
Southern ConfeGeracy during the war
of the rebellion.
10 the Editor Of the Lc0der:
S1R:-Dr. Canisus, who, during the
rebellion of our southern secessionlsts,
was United States Consul in Vienna,
the capital of the Austrian empire, has
given evidence in his recently publish
ed letter to the fact that the Austrian
and Prussian governments sold arms OF
every description to agents who favor
ed the rebels Now, at time when
there is so much talk by Carl Schurz
and the Liberals about our sale OF
arms to France, L feel obliged to say
what know about the sale of arms to
the Southerners at the time, the legal
ity Of which was never doubted by the
Germans so long as they had hand IN
themselves.
In July or August, 1862, l made a
trip from Bremen to Hamburg, and
met in the diligence or stage coach; a
personal friend of mine, First Lieu
tenant named Siefert, of the Bremen
Hansettic battalion, and his brother
in-law, a Mr. Barutrager, commits
sloned Landwehr officer Of Duessel-
dorf, Prussia. In the course of oul
conversation they told me they were
gong to Hamburg in order to send a
cargo of muskets, bought from several
German Government arsenals, to the
Southern States. This fact is still fresh
in my memory, because "a dispute
arose between us over the question
whether such transaction, carried out
by military officials, could be consid'
cred legitimate business, the rebels
having been acknowledged a belliger,
ent power. The last / heard of tins
sale was that the above-namsd officers
mad had the worst of it, and had met
heavy losses. 1t is, however, beyond
my knowledge whether the secession
lists ever received those arms or not.
Respectfully yours,

ITHACA, n. Y, Aug. 3, 1877.
Roe. D. W Loyuen, BiShop # the
Africaa " T.. thurch:
DEAR SIR:-In recent letter, bear.
ing MIR. Summers signature, occur Ger.
tain statements regarding the treat
ment of our friend Frederick DOuglass
at the hands Of the President of the
United States and of the Dominican
Commission.
As these statements were SO evidently
inspired by political bitterness, and rs
their Injustice has been shown by Mr..
Douglass himself, it did not seem worth
while to answer them | simply re-
GREETED them as unworthy the honored
name of Charles Sumner.
But rs / have evidence that some
colored men wish to know the exact
truth, permit me to give it as concisely
as possible.
First When the commission to st.
Domingo was appointed, President
Grant attached to it two special secre-
taries. As one OF these he chose Gen.
Franz Sigel, and as the other, passing
over IA multitude of white men anxious
to go. he selected Frederick Douglass
thus rising above old prejudices and
recognizing the rights Of colored cltl-
zeus, as no President save Abraham
Lincoln had ever done.
Second Having chosen him, orders
were given-orders understood to pro-
coed from the Presldent-that Mr..
Douglass should in all respects, be
treated as honorably and provided for
4 ! L.. D.. g. M
sons IN the expedition. Mr.. Douglass
was given q room inthe Admiral cabin
adjoining those of Commission; he was
associated with then. socially on equal
terms. treated in all respects ms we'll as
the hest And for the first time in the
history OF tine American navy, colored
citizen of the United States walked the
Quartcr-dcck of an American tugate-
the accepted equal of It's commander
respected and honored by all ON board.
Third-Durng the stay OF the Com
missiouers at the Dominican capital,
Mr.. Douglass lived in their house and
sat at their table. There was nothing
strange in this, for each of the Com
missiouers was an abohuonlst before
Mr.. Sumner was; there was no saerl-
fee in it, for never was guest more
agreeable. All present must have felt
that whatever honor there was III the
matter was conferred 10y Mr. Douglass.
Social, genial, refined in culture, noble
in purpose, he had from the first the
respect of all thus associated with HIM.
( The manly utterances of the accom-
pHshed editorial correspondent Of the
World bore testimony to this at the
time.
/ Fourth-After the landing Of the
! Commissioners NJ Charleston, Nh.
+ Douglass constantly occupied tie same
CONVEYANCE sid sat at the same table
with them. At one or two stopping
places ir the south there were some
manifestations 81 feeling agaiut this,
.ut these were not allowed to change
Mr. Douglass position iii he slightest
degree.
