How Edgar A. Poe Died.

The true story of Poes death has
never been correctly told. 1t is this
In the summer of 1S49 he left New
York for Virginia. In Richmond he
met Miss Elmira Shelton, whom he
had known in his youth, renewed his
acquaintance, and in few weeks they
were engaged TO be married. He
wrote 10 his friends in the North that
he should pass the remainder of his life
in Virginia, where the happiest days
of his youth had been spent. Early
in October he set out from Richmond
to fulfill literary engagementin New
York, and prepare for his marriage,
which was TO take place on the 18th
oftho month. Arriving in Baltimore,
he found that he had missed the Phila.
delphia train which he expected to
take, and have to wait two or three
hours for the next train. Ho went
into restaurant near the depot to got
some refreshments. There he met
some of his old West Point friends.
who invited him TO q champagne sup
per that evening. He accepted the
invitation and went. At first he re-
fused to drink, but at last was induced
to drink glass of champagne. That
set him off, and in q few hours he was
madly drunk In this state he wan.
dered off from his friends, was robbed
and beaten by ruffians and left insen-
sible in the street all night. The next
morning he was picked up and taken
to the Maryland hospital. He was
delirious with brain fever. He was
well cared for by the physicians of the
hospital, but he was beyond the skill
of the doctors. He fingered two or
three days, and died on Sunday, Oct.
I. ls49, in the thirty eighth year of
his age. His funeral was attended By
the Hon.Z. Collins Lee, DIR. Snodgrass,
Nelson Poe, (his cousin) and Henry
Herring (his uncle. .)-Appleton's Jour

CHILDHOOD.


nv GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
'Tis sad yet sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle awcll,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved so we'll;
To gaze out on tho even,
And the boundloss fields Of air,
And felt again our boyhood's wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladncss
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb Of feeling,
Old thoughts come thronging fast
The forms We loved so dearly,
In the happy day s now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright aud gentle maidons,
Who seemed SO formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this
Whose dark, soft eyes seemed swimming
In a sea Of liquid light;
And whose locks Of gold were streaming
Der brows SO sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
Thcy have fallen from the stem,
Yet, oh II is lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening,
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Arc passing swift away
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow TO each loving breast,
Like tendrils of the clinging vine,
And perish where they rest.

OTHER good news from the South is that
colored vote in Louisiana is now definitely di-
vided, and that the larger part of the negroes
have repudiated Warmoth, who is no doubt
''the worst in the world" so far as Louisi-
ana is concerned. He is repudiated also by
the Democracy, who have sent word to the
National Committee here in New York that
they will have nothing to say to the Greeley
and Brown Liberals until Warmoth's name 10
taken off the Greeleyte National Committee.
To get rid of Warmoth, if indeed he is got
rid of while he has a negro following and the
governorship, is well, but Louisiana politics
are not yet millennial; the Casey or Custom
house Republicans have brought over the
Pinchback negroes, and the two tickets are
fused. Pinchback getting the nomination for
Congressman at large. This is probably the
winning ticket.-Ihe Nation.
