FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.
THE TOMB OF THE AUTHOR OF
"THE ESTAR-6PANGLED BANNER

THE TOMB OF THE AUTHOR OF
"THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER"
A Fredericksburg, Nd, correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial writes of
the tomb of Francis Scott Key: "Pass-
ing down a broad avenne leading around
the northern boundary of the cemetery,
l was soon standing over the grave of the
immortal bard. This is located on the
slope of prominence on the west side
of the enclosure, overlooking the city,
and its neglected appearance was in
striking contrast contrast to the hand
some and well>attended lots surrounds
ing it on all sides. The body of the pa
triotic poet rests beside that of his wife,
Mary Taylor Key, and is directly in
front of that of Francis Scott Key, Jr..
who died in 1866. The grave is sunken,
and on the plain tombstone marking the
spot is inscribed Francis Scott Key, born
August o, 1850, died January IL, lS43.' ,
At the time of my visit there was resting
against the headstone rusty wire harp,
which had been the framework of floral
tribute that was placed there on the day
of the decorating of the tombs of Union
dead, in May last. The grave occupies
a position near the long line of white
stones that serve to mark the spot where
the Southern soldiers are buried who fell
in the engagements on the mountains,
which are in plain view from the spot"

HAYES A WANDERER.
SENATOR BLAINE TELLS HOW THE PREsI.
DENT HAS WANDERED FROM THE
REPUBLICAN IDEA,


REPUBLICAN IDEA.
| From Blaine's Interview in st, Louis
Globe-Democrat.
AS a Republican President 1t was
clearly the duty of Mr.. Hayes to carry
out the wishes of the Republican party.
and it is certain that in this Southern
| business he has wandered very far from
the Republican IDEA. Mr.. Hayes nor no
other man can disintegrate the Republi-
eau party. A. Presidential policy might
disarm or weaken 1t or demoralize it for
the time being, but the underlying prin-.
ciples of the party are too deeply imbed-
ded in popular affection for any one man
or set of men to root them out. MIR.
Hayes has undoubtedly placed himself in
position where he cannot receive the
cordial support of the party that elected
him. The line is, in fact, already so
clearly drawn between him and the party
that there can be doubt as to how each
stands. Mr.. Hayes, in a party view, is
neither on the Republican side nor on
this line. He is on the other side of the
line so far as all The practical results of
his administration are concerned. 1t is
absurd to suppose that there can be any
harmony between him and the Republi-
can party as long as he pursues his pre-
sent course. The people know whether
he has carried out his pledges as the
President elected by the Republican
party.

GENERAL CAsS AND JOHN GUY,
II Funny Incident of the Laiter's
ViSt to Baltimore.
John w. Forney in Chris tmas Gazette.

John w. Forney in Christmas Gazette.
How the politicians used to swarm
around Barnum's and Guys while they
were selecting candidates for the presi-

square used to resound to the speeches
of the champions of the respec i've can

how they "orated" when the nominee

Washington, and our mutual friend,
Daniel Dougherty, of this city, has often
recited the following incident, amid
roars of laughter, at the evening assem-
bles in which he shone as bright, par
ticular star: Guy bore striking resem-
blance to Gen. Lewis Cass, and while
he was proprietor of the National hotel,
in Washington, the Michigan senator
was among his favored guests. Guy
dressed like Cass, and although not as
portly, his face including the wart was
strangely similar. One day a western
friend of the house came in after long
ride, dusty and tired. and walking up to
the office encountered General Cass, who
was quietly standing there. Mistaking
him for Guy, he slapped him on the
shoulder, and exclaimed: "Well, old fell
low, here / am; the last time [ hung my
hat up in your shanty one ofyour clerks
sent me to the fourth story; but now that
l have got hold of you, l insist upon a

General Cass, of Michigan" and angrily
turned away. The western man was
shocked at the the unconscious outrage
he had committed, but before he had
recovered from his modification General
Cass, who had passed around the office
confronted him again, when. a second
time mistaking him for Guy. he faced
him and said, "Here you are at .last, l
have Just made devil of mistake. l
met old Cass and took him for you, and
am afraid the Michigander has gone
off mad" What General Cass would
have said may well be imagined if the
real Guy had not approached and res

run down to the extent of 100000 with,

president of the bank, borrowed $4,000
from it on worthless securities and failed
soon afterwards. Edwin r. Mason, a

failed last spring. New Jersey Midland
Railway bonds and notes to the amount
of $1,000 are among the assets. The
capital is all gone and $4,000 more.

clearly the following facts The teetotaler
has ut least twenty per cent. of his life in

one hundred and ten expected deaths, the

Still were the buds in their leafy fen,
While silent and hazy lay woodland and glen.

Swinging her basket and singing this song;

End twisted heartsease over the door,
And made me q seat of violets blue
And pledged me a love ever SO true"
