as we dictate, or keep them away to stray
among the treacherous quicksands and
shoals of life; to wander on the streets and

To constrain the travelling public to dis

seeker to stay at home or submit to annoy
ance greater than the pleasure; to make
battle-ground of public schoals, or drive the
poor away from their doOrs-these iniqulties

They must take one step more: they must
torture the living by stepping into the
graves and disturbing the rest of their
cherished dead. They say to the poor man
whose departed loved ones must be buried
in the public cemetery, and may be at the
public cost, Bury your dead where We say,
or throw them out in the potters field like
dogs bury your wife, your child, side by
side with the negro. or any one we name.
And if in time the bloody scythe OF Death
has filled the ground until, in files, the
sleeping soldiers of the Cross lie elbow
touching elbow, and the files must be now
doubled, YOU command the sexton to open
the grave of the poor mans wife or child

A BEAUTIFUL PILGRIM.

The special CORES pondent of the Chicago
Times, at New York, visited the pilgrims tt
the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at Paray
le-Monial just prior to their departure from
New York, and writes thus concerning
! them. The compliment to the daughter OF
Admiral Raphael Semmes will be appre.
ciated by the many friends of the lady in
our city:
1t was a handsome, t-lookins
group of gentlemen, and the ladies We're very
charming, and some of them were remarka-
bly, beautiful.
They spoke of their pilgrimage with All
ecstacy of delight that you would feel if you
were going to Paris to purchase your outfit,
you know. They We're to kneel at the shrine
of Ste Marie Marguerite Alacogus and have
audience with the Pope, and fetch home his
especial blessing. To tell the truth, we envy
them their perfect and abiding faith in the
blessing of their church on their perilous
journey, and their pardonable vanity as
they paraded the red cross and heart of the
pilgrim wrought upon their breasts.
To 60 to Europe in these days of fast
crOwding disasters, and believe ones sell
entirely safe from present harm, or certain
Of immediate bliss, is something of happi-
ness that our sinful world cannot give US,
unfortunately.
Two of the radiant ladies who embarked
as pilgrims with the crimson heart of Our
Lady embroidered upon their bosom, We're
sisters of Rachael Semmes, once the arch
enemy Of Southerners, and the terror of the
seas. One of the two is widow, young,
beautiful, and as fascinating as high breed
ing, mental culture, artistic dress, and a
sweet religious dropping of the eyelids to
shut out the sinful, and low-toned voice
when speaking of her religious pilgrimage,
can possibly make her. She is of the height
Of the Medici, beautifully formed, with a
clear white, brilliant complexion, great
brown eyes that but for religion might do a
world Of mischief; hands small and perfect
ly proportioned, though as restless as rose
leaves in flutter of winds, and voice that
is exceedingly sweet by nature, and modu-
lated by art, until it is as pleasant as song.
She looked as if the pilgrimage possessed
no sacrifice that she was not happy in ren-
dering. If she wore peas in her shoes, then
must her feet have been miraculously small
to have found room to spare for them in her
dainty boots, and as for the tOrturing hair
cloth wrapp r, it must have been comfort
to her and to all her friends who sailed the
wide ocean to see our Lady of Lourdes'
shrine, for they were as merry looking set
of men and women as we have ever seen
drift out to sea.

THE BLUNDER OF RECoNsTRUCTION.-Th
Chicago Tribune, speaking of the condition
Of affairs in South Carolina, resulting from
the reconstruction legislation, says:
Its results elsewhere have been almost as
baneful. 1t has reduced Louisiana to a
worse condition than if she we've still a
province of Spain. 1t has nearly resulted
already, and may yet result, in fastening
the curse and crime Of imitation upon the
country. 1t has well-nigh destroyed Ameri-
can craftsmanship.
The logic of facts shows the danger of
granting the ballot to everybody. Demoral-
ization is the inevitable result. We cannot
take the franchise away from its present
possessors, but we can shut the gate through
which the future victims of ignorance and
crime will hurry to the polls. The suffrage
should be the prize of knowledge, and
should be forfeited for crime, and education
should be made compulsory. In some such
ways we must purify our conrt Of last re-
sort, if we would save the Republic, or even
make it worth saving.

The Hero Of San Jacinto Reprimanded

Harper Magazine for June
The solemn farce of reprimanding a man
at the bar of the House as a punishment for
breach of the privileges of the body was
performed in the case of Sam Houston, An
drew Stevenson being Speaker. Houston
had been charged by Stanberry, member
from Ohio, with defrauding the Government
in some transaction with an Indian tribe on
the Tennessee border. An investigation was
requested, but Houston could get no salts
faction, and not willing to rest under the
imputation, he inflicted severe chastise-
ment with cane i'll the precincts of the
Capitol. Houston was arrested by the Ser
geant- alarms, and there was long trial,
resulting in the resolution that the offender
should be reprimanded by the Speaker 1t
was curious spectacle. Houston was at
that time striking specimen of manly
beauty He was in the prime of life, with
more personal advantages than almost any
man of his time. He stood considerably
above six feet, with small hands and feet,
and every way finely proportional. He
was dressed in taultess style when the Ser
geant alarms led him up to the bar of the
House. He was perfectly selt-possessed,
easy and graceful in manner, without swag-
gering OF selfassertion; with the bearing of
a man who came there to pay mis- respects
to the House, and specially to its presiding
officer. The galleries were crowded, and
the members, with the spectators, looked
curiously on. Speaker Stevenson was the
only embarrassed person in the hall. He
was large, fine-looking man of command
ing presence; but he was fidgety and I'M
comfortable, looking as if he expected to
read him lecture. In a hesitating and per-
turbed manner he told Houston that the
House had ordered him to be reprimanded
by it's presiding officer, and he, the Speaker,
begged him to consider himself reprimand-
ed. Houston bowed in a graceful, digni-
fed and lordly way, broad grin spread
over the House, and there the matter ended.
The Democrats had a clear majority in Con-
gress, and Houston belonged to that party,
but the breach of privilege was too fragrant
to be overlooked. Still the dignity of the
body was not vindicated by the Speakers
reprimand.

ON SEEING THE REMAINS OF FATHER FERRAc IN STAT
IN THE CATHEDRAL.
| I kneeI within thy solemn presence. Death.
The black drap'd Catafalque supports in state,
The cold remains of one, upon whose brow.
Thy hand hath PLACID its solemn signet dread
| The ever-restless heart is till d at last
The mind no Ion ger in the busy brain
Holds court; no jostlng thoughts or fancies now,
May hurry through its dark desert halls:
The Wig 'rous mbs, which did obey the will,
And work out its behest are helpless now!
! The massive wallis the gloomy arch, which rise,
And lose distinctness in the darkness dim.
Present at tomb.like air and seem indeed
grand and gloomy cenotaph to him.
Who lies in silent dismal state below!
The dark-rob'd figures gliding thrO' the door,
With noiseless tread, unto the Altar high,
And bending low in pray'r, beft the scenel
How drear the solitude, despite the forms
Of living suppliants, which keel around!
How grave the solemn thoughts the gloomy scene
Doth summon forth, to pass with me sur d tread
Like some sad funeral, before my soul!
Oh, silent sleeper, how it yearns to ask,
And learn of thee the myst'ry of thy fate;
To know what twas which thou hast had,
Which lent its brightness to that sunken eye.
Which gave its fulness to that sunken cheek.
Its strength and vigor to those rigid limbs
oh, how it longs to probe the myst'ry dark.
And learn from tn the fate which did befal
The vital spark, the essence of thy life,
The thing which there did clothe thy limbs with
Did send upon its rapid course the blood
Did people eer with busy thronging tho lights
The dull deserted chambers of thy brain:
The thing which gone, hath robbed thee Of thine all
And left behind corruption and decay
It Graves to know if like the ia dim.
Which burns away its oil, it me IS. indeed,
Extinguishment alone, or If alike
The butterfly il sheds the baser clay
That it may rise into higher life!
Is thu sad scene my chastend eyes behold
The end of all, alas or else, indeed.
Do peruse this night the end alone
Of chapter first in some great volume dark,
Whose future pages Deaths cold hand in time,
Will turn for me ana lay before my gaze?
Oh foolish soul How vain the fruitless task,
To delve amidst these dark enigmas dim,
Where each unsOlv' d a fruitful mother proves,
And gives a birth to other doubts in turn!
How like some travl Ter, in forest lost
Where nought springs up on either hand but pine,
Whose shaply trunks arising to the sky.
Disclose o his bewilder'd gaze indeed,
thousand avenues his feet may tread,
But vet which lead him not unto goal
But which at ev'ry step unto hi view
A thousand other avenues unfold
Oh foolish soul Why ask yon senseless clays
Why speculate, when pray r should be thy part:
When faith alone should solve thy thick ming doubts
Why follow ignus fatuus lights which lead
Through skepticisin's fatal quaGm dark,
When thou shouldst gaze alone upon the light
Gods Hand hath set upon the Hill of Truth?

The Chicago Times tells of New York
gentleman who lost portion of his ears.
This curtailment of his beauty worried him
so that he determined to find some deft arti-
san who would make him an artificial organ.
1t was to be durable in material, flesh-like
in color, and so built that it might be worn
with ease and comfort. He found his man,
paid him 5000, and went off, not on, his au-
ricular. Proud as a bow with a bran new
top, he tried on his ear, but after a time he
found that the wearing of it cansed him in
tense pain, and that under the sun it lost it's
delicate pink color, and tanned much more
rapidly than the other and genuine nearer.
This set him upon his ear and started him
into court. to sue the maker of his broken
member. The defense was that ear-making
was an experiment, against which the de-
PENDANT warned his customer, who told him
that he must have the ear, cost what it
would. The workman expended much time
upon it, making it as close an imitation of
the natural ornament as an artificial ear
could possibly be made. The plaintiff got
back fifty per cent. of his investment.

The Crops.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 25.-The following is
an abstract of the leading information pub
lished by the National Crop Reporter to-day
Returns now being received from the cotton
States, which will be published next week,
indicate that in all these States except
Texas the area planted in cotton this sea-
son is considerably less than the area planted
last season, while the acreage of corn is
about correspondingly increased. There is
very general complaint Of the destruction of
the first paintings, both Of cotton and corn,
by the cool weather and high water Much
of the replanting has been accomplished,
but it is feared that Ow ing to the lateness of
the season, considerable area will have to lie
over. As far as can be judged from reports re-
ceived the stand May Is was considered be-
low full average, although the stand of corn
was much superior to that of cotton. The
returns of Correspondents in the States of lii
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, Minnesota, MlssOu-
ri, Ohio and Wisconsin show an average fall
ing off in the area sOwn this spring in barley,
in comparison with the average of the same
grain last spring, Of a fraction over 10 per
cent. The estimated average of spring rye
shows falling Off in the..same States of an
average of over + per cent. The returns re-
lating to the number and condition of the
cattle May LIST in same States show an esti-
mated decrease in numbers from the cor
responding dates of 1873 averagin. over 15
per cent, and falling off from an average
good condition of over 81 per cent. Re
turns dated May Is denote that as whole
the springs sowing of small grains were
got in in good shape, and the present
prospects, especially of spring wheat,
are tlattering, generally speaking. This is
true Of winter wheat although there are
from some localities complaints of damages

FIRE IN CONsTANTINOPLE.-COn
pie is probably the most burned out city in
existence. They think no more of fire
there which destroys hundred houses
more or less-than we do of the tumbling
down of building, or the clubbing of a
citizen by the simple policeman of the period.
On Monday night such fire took place at
Galata, the principal commercial suburb of
Constantinople. on the European shore, be-
tween the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus.
One hundred houses were destroyed by this
conflagration, occupied chiefly by poor Jews.
In 1852, seven fires took place in CONSTANT
nople in one night, destroying $500 houses !;
and in September, 1865. another swept away
5000 houses, 90 mosques, and large number
of baths, coffee houses, and other public
buildings. Again, in May, 1866, another
large fire occurred; on June 5, 1870, the
greater part of Pera-another suburb-was
destroyed by fire; and early in 1873, still
another devastating fire was added to tho
list. AS late as February l, 1874, great
fire destroyed about 100 houses in Constan-
tinople, including the Grand viziers Palace.

IN THE CATHEDRAL.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-06-25

We hardly now how to thank our
active and prominent Republican friends,
for the hearty invitation they gave us to
attend the State Convention, at Indiana
polls, in their company last week. And
then the words of cheer they brought
home, of the harmonious and enthusiastic
feeling of Republicans from all parts OF
the State, were most acceptable. We
hope to reflect littleof the enthusiasm
in the columns of the REPUBLICAN, from
this time on. Marshall county has new
associates in the selection of a Represen-
tatlve in Congress, and We have felt
desire to become better acquainted with
the prominent men in the 18th district,
in order to be better posted IA the charac-
ter and ability of Congressional aspiran:s.
We had hoped to be present at the State
Convention; but business arrangements
prevented. We hope this will be a suf-
fcient apology FOR our absence Our
county was hono-sd by the appointment
of II. e. Thayer, Esq, on The State Gen.
tral committee, and we understand that it
viii be his duty to fix the time of hold
ing the district convention. Accidental
ly we learn that the convention will be
in Kendallville; but of course we shall
know all about it, in due time.

Nebraska as a Fruit Growing State.

A correspondent writes: "The fertile
soil of Nebraska not only produces grain
in abundance, but its orchards bear fine
fruit. The soil is rich, and the subsoil is
peculiarly adapted to fruit culture. Over
a great part of the State the subsoil is
lacustrine deposit, formed during unnum-
Dered years by the washings from the
Rocky Mountains, brought down by the
Missouri. This subsoil is identical in
chemical composition with the loess of
the Rhine banks, in which are grown
some of the fines grapes of Europe. The
Nebraska orchards and vineyards were
first planted in the southeastern counties,
where the Burlington u Missouri River
Railroad Company owns a considerable.
body of land and the favorable expert
ence there gained in causing fruit culture
to extend to every part of the State. Al.
though the youngest State in the Union,
Nebraska has already taken high honOrs'
for its fruit. In 1871, at the general ex-
hibition of the American PomolOgical
Society, at Richmond, Va, the State was
awarded the first premium for fruit; and
at the exhibition of the same society at
Boston, Mass, in 1873, the first prize for
apples. Some of the orchardists Of Ne
braka cultivate $50 varieties of apples :.
but for new settlers the State Horticulral
Society recommends the following varie-.
ties: Summer Apples; Red June, Sum-
mer Pearmain, Penock & Hawley; Early
Autumn Apples: Fall Wine, Fall Orange.
Belmont, Nebraskan, Fameuse and Drap.
Door; late Autumn Apples: Bellefiower,
Autumn Swaar, Pommewater Sweet,
Maiden Blush, Todd Pippin, None Such,
Rambo, Snow and Gabriel. Pears :
Beurre d'Anjou, White Doyenne, Doyen-
ne Musk, Stevens Genesee, Belle Lucra-
tive, Howell, Seckell, Bartlett, Osweg0
Beurre, Flemish Beauty, Duchess dan
goulme, Buerre Diehl Vicar of Wakefield, :
Swaar's Orange, Easter Beurre. and St.
Michael. Peaches yield large crops in
the State; and Mr. Oliver Harman, q sue
sessful fruit grower in Otoe county, rec
ommends for Plums: Smiths Orleans,
Kirk, Jefferson. Egg and Damsen; and
for Grapes: Catawba, Clinton, Hartford
Prolific, Ives Seeding, Diana, Delaware
and Concord. In this list of fruits there
is variety enough; and the settler on the
Nebraskan prairie, who begins to set
out his orchard as soon as he has
built his house, in few years will have
abundance of fruit. The best place for
the orchard on the praire is the highest
ground on the farm.
