The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "In their
fight against the money power in Ohio the
brave Democracy have had the kind assistance
OF such earnest Republicans as Gov. Curtin,
Vim. d. Kelley, Peter Cooper, Henry Carey
Baird, Wendell Phillips, X. B. Pullan, Moses
W. Field, Alexander Campbell, Henry Blandy
and Orson S. Murray. Some of these men
helped to make the Republican party" And
we take great pleasure in remarking that they
did not injure it much, Notwithstanding their
Titanic efforts.

Poe's bones have been disturbed and trans
ferred to another resting place, which act re-
vealed some interesting facts that cannot
escape the notice of the scientist. As the pro-
fame hands removed the dust from the crum-
bled coffin it was discovered that the skull
was lying in the position in which the head lay
when buried. The grave clothes and all ex-
cept the bones had crumbled to dust, leaving
the skeleton white and bare. The brain was in
an almost perfect state of preservation. The
cerebral mass, as seen through the base of the
skull, evidenced no signs of disintegration or
decay, though, of course, 1t is somewhat
diminished in size. The skull was intact, and
the general skeleton was in as good a condi-
ton as an anatomical preparation in a doctors
office. Here, 1t will be seen, that the brains
were preserved in a perfect ctste after every
other particle OF the feshy body had passed
into dust. Is it not Significant With due re-
spect for the dead. we ask does it not prove
the fact that the theory respecting the con-
Stunning properties of stimulants is far from the
truth? Let scientists answer.
American citizens holding property in the
persons of Cubans are warned to give up their
nefarious business and seek other employment
more congenial to the better nature of human
ity. Hundreds of our citizens are engaged in
the traffic of slaves by holding property in
them through the names of parties residing on
the island; and as the business between the two
increases the enterprise will augment
thus leaving q temptation open
to the American people, among whom there
will be found many ready to taste the richest
"fruit that grows on the brink of hell's dark
river" unless some positive measure is taken
to prevent them from SO doing. The President
has repeatedly submitted this matter to Con-
gress in his annual messages, but through q
lack of interest in the subject, or q want of
they have continued to ignore the
sugge stion-thus leaving this avenue open to
scores of INSCRIPTIONS men, who pass through
it to paltry gain over the wretchedness and
woe of the patriotic bondmen. At the coming
session, Congress should pass some enact |
ment to relieve the American Government of |
the odium that now rests upon it through the
infamous traffic in human flesh that its citi-
zens have been promoting and sanctioning even
though the force of the enactment should tend
only to eensure those who have been so wick |
edly barbarous. Cuba has burdens enough to
bear without being weighed down by the mon
strous imposltions. OF the American people in
this respect.
