Vile correspondent says:
SIN justice to Governor Brown can
but say that his conduct during the ses-
sion has been admirable. He has full
filled the hopes aroused by his inaugu-
raj address. He has worked faithfully
and intelligently to secure the interests
of the people of Tennessee-not as
partisan politician, but as "A wise, mod
crate and patriotic ruler of a great Com
mOnwcalth. He has regained his pop
ularity to a great extent, and is justly
praised by all parties. If he will 20 on

THE CENTENNIAL.-The citizens of Phil

for the "Upited States Centennial celebra-
tion" and the great international exhibi-
tion which is to open in that city In 1876.
Every state has an interest in making this
celebration grand success, and it is graft
flying to see the city which was the birth.
place Of the nation, contributing so gener-
ously to celebrate its one hundredth birth
day. The city of Philadelphia has appro-
priated $575,O00; the railroads centering
there $500, 900; private subscriptions in the
city amount to $1,000. 900: and the legisla-
ture Of the state has just voted an appropri-
alton of 81 ,O00, 900 for the same object. This
makes s., ,075, ,06O already assured in Penn

Philadelphia horse railroads, by legislative
action, will appropriate four per cent. OF
their gross earnings from April lst, 1873, to
the close of the exhibition, more than three
years, to the use OF the commission. This
will amount to quite a large sum, and OF
course there will be large private subscrip-
tions in the state outside of Philadelphia.
There is little doubt that the whole amount
of stock-s1O, 900, ,00O-will be readily taken
up, aud that the exhibition will do honor
to our century-old country. Commission

and the undertaker's men. When the
earth was thrown in, he looked at me plain
lively to know what 1t meant, and when
the burial was over, he wished to remain
near the open tomb, waiting till his master
should rise. took him home with me,
but he would not eat, and next morning at
sunrise he howled for his basket. II was
no use keeping him, so I tied the basket
round his neck and sent him out.
That evening, foreseeing what would
happen went to the cemetery. The dog
arrived at nghtfall, with his basket full of
pence, and turned them all out upon the
grave. "Come home, JIM" I said with
the tears rising TO my eyes; but he whined
mournfully, and tried to scratch up the
earth. Twice more he went out like this
all day, and brought back money for his
master; but on the third evening, finding
that the pence on the grave remained un-
touched, he suffered me, without resistance,
to take off his collar, and lay down at full
length near the miser's last sleeping place.
The next morning he did not go on his
rounds, for he was dead

SKETCH OF GEN. .CANBY.-Edward Rich
ard Sprigg Candy, Brigadier- General of the
United States Army, who was SO treach-
erously killed by the Modocs, was born In
Kentucky in 1919. He graduated at West
Point in 1889, and went Immediately into
the Florida war, where he served till 1s42.
In the Mexican war he distinguished him
self at Cerro Cordo, Contreras and Cher
ubusco, and won advancement from every
fight in which he participated. At the Ber-
len Gate his gallantry won him lieutenant
colonelcy. He participated in the Utah ex-
pedition. and in 1861 was colonel of the
10Th infantry, then serving in New Mexico.
He saved that territory to the Union, and
later in the war was employed about WASH
ington and in the command of New York
during The riots of 1893. In April, 1866, be
was given the command Of the department
OF the Gulf and, few days after, captured
Mobile and received the surrender of Gen
Dick Taylor and his forces. This exploit.
which was carried out with great skill and
spirit, gave him the commission of major
general, which he held at the time OF his
death. He commanded the department, or
the South for some years, and WIS dis

THE .uODOC E.vDI.s.vs.

The Modocs are a little tribe OF hostile
Indians, numbering, by all accounts, less
than hundred, all told. Capt. Jack has
but forty-three fighting men in his band,
though 1t Is reported that he has received
lately an accession of twenty old men from
another tribe. The Modocs are as much
civilized as any Indians are In that region.
They dress like white men, and many OF
them speak English fluently, and they
have had sufficient contact with the whites
to acquire all the vices of the frontier. As
far back as 1924 they began waylaying and
numbering immigrants who sought South
ern Oregon by the trail through the Modoc
country in Northern California. This was
stopped by Ben Wright. an old noun
taineer, who organized an expedition in
Oregon, struck the Indians as they were
attacking an immigrant train, and killed
forty out of forty-seven savages. In 1869
Captain Jack accepted the terms of treaty
and went on to a reservation; but did not
on settlers. These petitioned the United
States authorities, and the soldiers were
ordered TO remove the Modocs to their res
ervation, by force if necessary. The result
was fight on Thanksgiving day, in which
the troops were repulsed, and another bat
tie, in the lava beds OH the 18th of January,
in which screened by the rocks, the Modocs
shot down the soldiers rapidly aud not an
Indian was killed in return. After ten
soldiers were killed and twenty wounded,
the troops, consisting of $50 regulars, two
companies of Oregon volunteers, 25 rifle
men of California and a few Klumoth In-
dians, retired.
More troops were then ordered to the
scene Of war, with the intention of sur.
rounding the band and making them cap
tives. In the meantime fresh negotiations
were opened by new Peace Commission
composed of Gen. Candy. Rev. DR.. E.
Thomas, who was a Methodist divine OF
California (since killed), Mr. A. B. Meaham,
Judge Rosborough of Yreka, CAL, and Mr..
Dyer of Oregon. On the 22d of March Gen.
Canby telegrapbed 10 Con. Sherman:
think that system of gradual compul
sion, with an exhibition of the force that
can be used against them, If the Commis-
sion should again fail, will satisfy them OF
the hopelessness OF any further resistance,
and give the peace party sufficient strength
to control the whole band.
| His last despatch dated April 7, says:
Their last proposition is TO come in and
have the opportunity of looking for new
home not far away, and if they are sincere
in this the trouble will be soon ended. But
there have been so much vacillation and
duplicity in their talks that I have hesita-
ted about reporting until some definite re-
suit was attained.
Not less than 900 troops with four or five
batteries now surround the Modoc strong
hold, which is in a rocky and cavernous
formation, known to surveyors as pedre.
gal. enormously called a lava-bed. It is
described as series of bewildering paths
among vast masses of rock, partly above
and partly under g ound, and will give the
indians immense advantages of position.

Down AMONG THE DEAD.-A newspaper

Down AMONG THE DEAD.-A newspaper
correspondent, who went down to the
wreck of the Atlantic in divers costume,
says that the hull lies we'll down on the port
side, and is broken in several places from
contact with the reef. Fish were swimming
around, eagerly devouring the particles OF
food found floating around. He found the
forward hatch open, and that the cargo there
had broken bulk, and lay in confused
heaps, with the bodies of men and women
jammed among the cases and crates,
bruised and torn. Fishes were swimming
in and out, feasting upon the dead bodies.
Limbs are strewn about, having been brok-
en- from the bodies by the continual action
OF the waters, which, when agitated, drive
against ugly pieces Of the broken hull that
here project.
The correspondent then went to the com
panion way of the steerage cabin, and found
hundred or more bodies lying in an i'm
mence heap, looking as if alive, with arms
dislocated, eyes staring wildly, faces grin
ming and moving backward and forward
with the under current. Some were Dress
cd, but many were half nude. Children
were cinging to mothers, stout men were
clasping their wives, seeming to have met
death with calm resignation. The scene
was horrible beyond description. The cor.
respondent then went to the companion
way Of the steerage where the men pas
sengers were by themselves. The bodies
of strong men, old aud young, were hud-

In him, which 10 other men are desnisau

superior In dramatic intensity and impet-
uosity. he CONT manded men as lipp or
tiger might awe lesser beasts. He could
walk into crowd that welcomed him with
the clicking of hundred revolver locks
and In five minutes every man In that
crowd would have spilled the blood out of
his own heart in fighting for Jim Lane.
He could stand mute before a Kissing and
groaning mob, and In two minutes you
could have heard the breath of love 10 the
air rustic the scented tresses of maiden in
the hush which would be there. He could
stand before an audience speaking TO them
with those great cavernous eyes of his, lips
were shut and still raise his hand. and
every one would rise with his gesture:
lower his hand and every one would sit
down obedient TO the wonderful electricity
of his will.
He was one Of those men whose utter
failure to comprehend that there Is such a
thing as danger made his courage OF no par
ticular credit to him. His Impulse ruled
him utterly, and be never could see any,
thing between himself and the object
sought. Ifthere was any obstacle, he al
ways looked right over the top Of II, and
walked over 1t or through 1t with the same
unheeding unconcern. The possibility that
there was or might be anything which he
could not overcome, was suspicion which
his mind had no room to entertain. And
when he pulled the trigger of his own
Derringer, with its cold muxzle against his
lips, / doubt IL be realized there was anv
personal danger In the act. His religion
was curious compound of wonderful su-
perstition and idoiatry, devoted to external
observances and forms. He was Meth.
odist, and his idea of the plan Of salvation
was about as clear as Pawnee's compre.
hension of the logarithmic tables he sees
the surveyor using In his computations.
But Jim Lane corrupted Kansas and laid
the foundation of that penalty which has
culminat ed in the tribulations of Caldwell
and the other i'll and scandals of the rotten

PASSING .fyy.fH'.

By q. A. n.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
with springs bright green and summer'g glow,
And each In turn has borne us on,
Till we are old, and friends are gone.
OF loved ones gone the seasons tell,
And echo back their funeral knell;
while bowling winds and wintry storms
Sweep DER those cold but once loved forms.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
And each one brings its tale OF woe,
or care, and pain, and broken ties,
OF many hope that withered lies.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
with autumn's blast and winters snow;
They pass away, but come again
To give new life to hill and plain.
But life renewed they give no more,
No more to us--our spring is o'er;
The weary step, the wrinkled brow,
Are all the seasons give us nowl
They 90 and come In cesseiess fiow,
And take us with them as they go
And sometime, "a we journey on,
When they come back they'll say we're gone!
