Dead, But Not Buried.
BY t. b. ALDRICH,

When man dies andis buried, there's
an end of him. We miss him for a
space out Of our daily existence; we
mourn for him by degrees that become
merclfully less we cling to the blessed
hope that we shall be reunited inbsome
more perfect sphere; but so far as this
earth is concerned, there is an end Of
him. However near and dear he was,
the time arrives when he does not form
part Of our daily thought; he ceases
to be even an abstraction. We 90 no
more with flowers and tears into the
quiet cemetery; only the rain and the
snOw-f1akes fall there we leave it for
the fingers of spring to deck the neg
lected mound. glf#.s. .ga 1890 Hlav
But when our friend vanishes aunac-
countably in the midst of a crowded
city, or goes off on sea-voyage and is
never heard Of again, his memory has a
singular tenacity. He may be to all
lntents and purposes cad to us, but we
have not lost him. The ring of the door
bell at midnight may be his ring; the
approaching footstep may be his foot
step the unexpected letter with for
eign postmark may be from his hand.
He haunts us as the dead never can.
The woman whose husband died last
night may marry again within a lustre
of months. Do you suppose a week
passes by, when the woman whose hus-
band disappeared so mysteriously ten
years ago does not think of him There
are moments when the opening of adoor
must startle her. Il.
There is no real absence but death.

Respected but not HonOred.

The Countess Danner is dead. The
wife Of King Frederick VII. of Den
mark, she was never permitted to share
his throne, for her lineage was humble.
AS an actress of rare grace and beauty,
she attracted the attention of the crown
prince, and, winning his love, secured
his hand in morganatic marriage. She
retained his affection till the day of his
death, and won the unaffected regard Of
his people. Always the kings COM
panion, she accompanied him upon his
journeyings and was everywhere re-
ceived as though the royal blood did
course in her veins. Kindly and char
table, she demonstrated that Ill
"True hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than the Norman blood"
When King Christian assembled the
throne, she retired to Genoa, where, at
the age of sixty, she has just died. Her
retirement was not forced, and she often
returned to Danish soil, always to be
received with demonstrations of the
iveliest affection. r a#

A Lyric.
BY JOHN L. OWEN.

AT dawn while winter dallied yet,
Earth got the srn-god's warming.
And shadow into sunlight grew
Night softened into morning.
A song burst forth, and, at the sound,
Hing Winter abdicated;
Earth chose himself diade1n, H.f
And ne and spring were mated.
'll on his brow shone many gem
A goodly constellation 4
Clothed in a rainbow -colored robe.
That well became his station.
Spring wore bridal garb as pure
As e'er won courtly praises,
with violet loops and primrose stars
Wreathed lilies, kingcups, daisies.
The harebells rang; dew-jeweIs. too.
Blazed in buds half enfolden :,
Ihey quaff'd nepenthe, and their CUBS
We're buttercups all golden.

Gin Was His FavOrite Drink.

In the preparation of epitaphs, says
Lord Kames, conciseness is quite as de-
sirable as truth. We do not remember
to have seen any epitaph in which a
mans virtues are more concisely stated
than that upon the late Mr.. Wink
The angels tonight in their mansions Of light,
Are waltzin' round Anthony Mink.
He was faithful and kind, as any you'll find,
And gin was his favorite drink.

Most of our citizens doubtless remember
Gen. Theodore Trauernicht, formerly con-
nected with the German press of this city.
A genial, gOOd-natured fellow, he was much
liked here. We had heard very little of
him after be went to Louisville until the

trouble between the races, judging from the
reports published by the Louisville papers,
he has covered himself all over with glory.
Concerning the departure of the State
Guard for the scene Of action, the Com
HlercidI of that city says:
ssTHE GERMAN FUsILEERS,
under the command of General Theodore
Trauernicht, marched into the armOry
amid the loud cheering Of the immense
crowd that had gathered around the court
house. The Fusileers were attired in full
uniform, and made fine military appear
ance. The drilling continued until 5
O'Clock, when the entire body, consisting
of nearly 500 men, marched up Jefferson
to Fifth street. General Trauernicht's
Fusileers were in the van, the Camp Rifles
followed, then came the Hewitt and Wad-
dell Grays, the Sarsfield Rifles were next
in order, and the volunteers last. The
entire body was under the command of
Colonel Clark. Marching four abreast,
their steps accelerated by the inspiring
strains of the music, the body arrived at
the depot at 81 O'Clock. At 8 o'clock all
was ready and the entire body hurriedly en-
tered the cars after having bid their friends

THE task of believing Beecher inno-
nocent becomes more difficult daily.
What earthly motive can be ascribed
to Moulton for joining Tlton in a con-
spiracy to blast the great preachers
Moulton is a wealthy merchant, whose
social connections were all in Beecher's
favor. He steadily refused to speak
till he was himself assailed, without
ground, because he submitted docu-
ments only to the committee,
and not one line or word
of those documents has been
questioned. Yet Moulton's conduct
presents anomalies as strange as the
other actors in this horribly real drama.
He may Justify his four years silence
with the Plymouth folks, but he can
not do it before the world at large in
side or outside of the Christian fold.
By his own statement, he is a particeps
crimiHis of all the parties, through his
studied concealment Of Ill done.

bility of this country being forced into
the fray. When We remember that the

A New Phase Of the vfrglnius AFFAIR
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-It has been as
certained from reliable source that Spainin-
stead Of carrying into effect the understand
ing Of the Fish-Polo protocol, namely, to in
vestlgate the conduct of those of its au-
thorities who have infringed on Spanish
laws or treaty obligations, and to punish
those who may have offended, has made q
demand of indemnity in the affair Of the
Virginius and for other alleged wrongs suf-
fered by Spain, owing to the fillibustering
expeditions fitted out in this country, and
landing or attempting to land men and
munitions of war on the Spanish Ameri-
can coast.
To this demand our government has re-
piled in firm but courteous terms, asserting
the untenableneSs of the positions of the
Spanish Government and reminding it of
the remiSSnesS or inexcusable delay in
making reparation for the wrongs suffered
by American citizens in persons and prop
erty.
The latest information from Minister
Gushing, is thai he is still pressing our
demands on Spain. 1t seems certain the

New York World.
The platform adopted at Nashville
by the Tennessee Democratic State
Convention on wednesday is at once
the most compact and the most COM
prehensive political document that has
come from a Southern State since the
close of the civil war. Taken as a
whole, II is almost the first clear and
unmistakable announcement that the
Southern people are fast emerging from
the haf-despairing, half-cynical apathy
In regard to questions of ma
tional policy which so widely prevailed
among them during the darker periods
of reconstruction and virtual deprival
of representation in Congress. and that
the Southern States are coming for
ward to assume their Just share of the
benefits and responsibilities Of the Ma
tional Government. Taken in its sew
eral parts, and with the exception Of
the half-dOzen lines which incorporate
the dead heresy of Pendletonism the
Tennessee platform is as sound poit-
ical creed as the year has produced.
With this one exception, it IS thorough
ly Democratic. 1t closes every door in
the face of expediency and cOmprO-
mise, and places the Democrats of Ten
nessee firmly and safely upon the prin-
ciples which cannot fail of a glorious
triumph in 1876.
