An llIfl Ilnler.

A friend has placed upon cur desk copy
of the FreemGn'S Journal, Published in
Cincinnati by Freeman 81 Carpenter, and
dsted Saturday, Oct. 27, 1898. The copy
before us is well worn, and yellow and
dingy with age. The most of its space is
devoted to European intelligence, quite
lengthy correspondence between Talleyrand
and Mr.. Gerry the United States Minister 10
France, forming he greater part of it. No
attention is given local matters, but in one
corner of the fourth page, appears piece Of
machine poetry, entitled, "Tbe Soldiers
Adieu," the first and last verses Of which
are as follows:
"Cease, Clara, cease, those silent tears
Steal down thy cheeks in vain,
Kind hope shall chase away thy fears,
Till we return again.
CHORUS.
But wherever our route shall be,
My heart shall still encamp with thee.
X \ X
The general harki-oh then adieu;
Permit last embrace.
The troOp they marchi-& I'll pursue,
Farewell that angel face.
But wherever, SC, &C."
Brief mention is made of the fact that
there is yellow fever at Boston, and the
number of deaths at Philadelphia and New
York for one week is given, from which we
judge the same disease is prevailing in those
cities. In the time indicat d there were
500 deaths III Philadelphia, which city then
contained a population of 10000. Her
present population is, in round figures, S00,-
600, and the number of deaths reported for
the week ending Aug. Q, is only 434.

McComb, Of WiImineton Delaware, who,
with Tom Scott and Newcomb, of Louis
vile, owns nearly all the Railroads in the
Southwest, located bis repair and other
railway shops, some years ago, at a pretty
town called Water Valley, Mississippi. The
then village srew spsee. Property became
valuable, and Water Valley promised to be-
come leadiHg manufacturing town.
McCOm5, seeing this, and that he could
build city anywhere, has bought size and
transferred thither bis shops ami dinner sta
tiop, and Water Valley, like Holly Springs,
their former site, is bathed in tears. People
say that after MeComb has drawn together
5000 or 10000 people at this new place,
yc.ept McComb's city, he will again migrate
and again mske profit of half million,
more OF less, By buying a plantation at S.

Relative 10 NAL Matters.

To the Union and American:
hENDEBsoNvILLE, Aug. IL, 1S73.-This
morning at $50, no mail trains having
passed here up TO this hour since 4:15 yes
terday evening, a United States leather
mail bag, without tag or Labelling, was
picked up on the railroad, about one mile
below hele, by one of the men employed to
replace the old telegraph posts with new
ones, and turned over to the Postmaster for
proper disposition. My purpose in giving
publicity to this Circumstance is not to i'm
prove or amend the fact just stated, for the
sufferers by this wanton and inexcusa5le
neglect, have already sustained damsge,
either in mental suspense ard anxiety, or
business embarrassment by thu delay of
mail matter on account Of this unpardon-
able carelessness, but its effect we trust viii!
20 prospective, and when the mail agent,
whose direliction occasioned this irregu-
larity, receives such ventilation as his case
merits at The hands of those whose duty it
is to thus expose, and he is further excOri-
ated and reprimanded by postoffice officials,
when knowledge of his act comes to them
through this medium, l feel assured there
will not be . repetition of this thing soon.

CONFIDENCE I'm OTHERS.

People rave generally three 6poch5 in
their confidence in man. In the first they
believe him 10 be every thing that Is good,
and they are lavish with their friendship and
confidence. In the next they have bad ex-
perience, which has smitten down that con-
fidence, and they then have to be careful
not to nistrust every one, and to put tie
worst construction upon every thing. Later
in life, they learn that the greater number
of men have much more good in them than
bad, that even when there is cause TO blame,
there is more reason TO pity than TO con-
denim; and then g spirit of confidence again
ayakens within them.-MiSs Bremen.

IN MENORIAM.

Il Our esteemed friend and tellOw-citizen. g.
! T. Be AUMAE. Esq, prominent as Professor
Of Music, and highly popular as the accom-
s plished Organist OF the Catholic Cathedral
5 of this city, died of cholera, in the city of
3 Nashville, on July 4, 1873.
The deceased was born in Strasburg, the
capital city of the former French province of
Alsace, in the month OF May, 1910; received
his education in the common schools, and
afterwards in the LTceum of that city; at
! thu same time, and up from his earliest
s childhood, studying and practieing music
under the instruction and guidance of Seye-
Z raj of the most celebrated professors of the
art in that city.
at the immature age OF seventeen our de-
j ceased friend, feeling himself man and en-
= tirely relying upOIi his own resources, emf
grated TO the United States, his beau ideal
! of free country, for which he had formed
J an irresistible attachment, probably engeu-
dered by the reading of ChateaubTiand's
beautiful description of it, as rendered in
"Atala,' - and similar writings Of that cele-
brated French author
Prof. BEAUMAN arrived in the United
States in 1858, taught music in Indiana,
Texas and Tennessee, felt at home south of
Mason and DixOn's line, and became organ
. list of the Catholic Cathedral at Nashville in
the fall of 1859, where he served under the
Right Rev. Bishops Miles, Whelan and
Feehan, TO the eminent satisfaction OF those
gentlemen aud the entire Catholic pOpUla-
ton OF Nashville. Many young ladies and
gentlemen, Of the best families in this city,
moreover testify to his talents and success
as q music teacher.
Prof BEAUMAN married Miss c. J. Doher-
ty, an Irish lady of more than ordinary &C
cOmplisbments, with whom he had two chill
dren, who died about year ago.
a man in the true sense of the expression,
a good Christian, a loving husband and
father, and friend to all men OF good will,
he died, and therefore blessed beshis memory.

May memory cling 20 the bright day Just passed,
And each to the other most constant prove;
May joys untold be theirs while life shall last,
And blessed by the smiles of Heaven above.
