An Eloquent TrIbute 10 a worthy
HInn's Memory.

Perhaps no announcement could
have come 20 the public of st. Louis
and Missouri more painful than that
of yesterday evening, that Major
Henry Ewing was no more. Dur
ing the long and severe illness Of
this gentleman, his friends had clung
70 the apparently well grounded
hope that the worst might pass
away speedily and that he might
soon take his WOntcd place IN our
mids1 But the hand Of the disease
had taken a hold upon him which
medical skill could not shake loose.
His constitution never quite strong,
and his system, never robust, had
been so undermined and shattered
By his intense application 8 the
business Of his nCWapapCr since the
cupcrauve power left 70 second ille
efforts Of his physicians. He had id.
deed become convalesceHt, to an nDs
pearRnce, wheu suddenly that re-
lapse, which "a so much 70 be dread
cd in cases like his, set in and sealed
his doom.
During the years that Major Ew-
ing has wrought among us, he has
won much distinction, but more OF
regard and affection. His was one
of those natures to which the whole
world seems kin, and he absolutely
had no foe. There we're none TO say
sught of him while living that was
unkind, and there are none in all the
great city whereof he was such an
active and valuable citizen, who are
not his mourners now. In his busi-
ness relations he was so situated
that his dealings were with all-his
patrons were the whole public-and
he was universally respected and
esteemed In social relations he
was equally without reproach. He
leaves behind him the kindliest
memory in every heart.
He had been taken from our midst
in the noon of his promise and the
midday of his manhood. Death has
come into the busiest midst OF our
community and plucked away one OF
the brightest and best beloved OF the
workros. Major Ewing had inst be-
gun TO see in the near future the
fruitiOn Of his hopes and the reward
of his toll Under his wise man
agement and propelled by his tire
less industry and his excellent tact
his newspaper was on the high-road
to success, and he was the undispu-
tedEarchitect Of its fortunes and
with them his own. Thus with the
goal of his ambition in sight, he
was stricken down in the midst of
bis striving. just as he could be-
gin TO contemplate the honorable
rest that is the fruit of manly toll,
he was gathered to a rest that Is
never broken or disturbed.-St.
Louis Rep.

A GOOD GRAMMAR.

We advise every little grammma-
rian jHst entering on the study to
commit to memory the following
lines, and then they never need
make errors in speech. The author
whoever he is-deserves much
credit:
Three little words yeu often see,
Are articles, a, an and the.
A nouns the name Of anything,
AS school or garden, hoop or swing.
Adjectives tell the kind Of noun,
AS great, small, pretty, white or brown.
Instead of nouns the pron0uns stand;
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell something TO be done
To read, count, sing, laugh, jump, run.
How things are done the adVerbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, i'll or well.
Conjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind and weather.
The propositions stand before
a noun, as Of or through a doer.
The inteTjeetiOns show surprise,
AS ali : how pretty-oh! how wise.
The whoie are catIed uine lpa1Is " rsIJurS-izs
which reading, writing, speaking teach.

MY LITTLE LOVER.

Let me tell you Of ny lover
Not the first, own in truth
But so Ike HIM that I'm carried
often back to days Of youth.
'Rsund my waist his arms are twinIn=,
Calls me every sweetest name,
Locks his love from eyes all shining.
Every day for years the same.
Says he'll never, never leave me
Never wander day nsr night;
Think you he can e'er deceive mt
'Tis case Of I0Ue Of sight.
Then he brings me water crcSscs,
Dandsli0ns, yioletS sweet,
Smothers me with fond caresses,
KneeliBg often at my feet
Pardon pray, this new, Old story,
Stay thy blush for one 50 bold;
Keep the secreet must tell you

AT last we hear something definite
of the plan and purposes of the
mysterious "Order of Husbandry"
that has so suddenly become 8 pow
CT in the West. 1t is a secret coop
erative, industrial, beneficial and
literary institution, with various
rites borrowed from the secret So
cieties. Apparently it has nothing
TO do with politics. Men and wO-
men are alike admitted, but the lat
ter are admitted TO the fourth de-
gree. The members of the first de-
gree are designated respectively as
LaboTer and Maid; in the second de-
gree, as Cultivator and ShepheHdess,
in the third degree, as Harvester
and Cleaner; and in the fourth de-
gree as Husbandman and Astron.
The membership of the OrganiZa-
ton st this time Is estimated at 45O,-
600, and if it does go into politics. it

the reach Of the people, owing to the I'M
righteous discrimination by our courts in
favor of ante-bellum creditors. lf they were
to move for relief, this class Of creditors
would take every dollar Of their estates,
without regard to the exemption clauses of
our new Constitution or any laws passed
in conformity herewith. Hundreds and
thousands of our people have been eagerly
awaiting some action by Congress to give
them the needed relief-to make the ma
tional bankrupt law, in effect, as operative
in Virginia as elsewhere and the repeal OF
that law now, without extending tho relief
sought, would be the most fatal blow ever
struck against the industrial interests
of the State. Our Senators in
Congress should lay the facts
promptly before the Senate, showing how
those who were really designed to be bene'
fitted by the national bankrupt act have
been practically barred of their right by
the adjudications Of our State courts
Could the true state of the case be pre-.
