SENATOR MORToN's LAST MOMENTS.
Senator Morton died at 81 P. NJ, Thurs
day. At about noon Mrs. Morton and her
sons were by her request, left alone with
the Senator for about an hour. Before 5
it had became evident that he had entered
upon his last hour on earth. He had rtst=
ed during the greater portion of the day, in
half lying, half sitting position. AS he
grew weaker thes Importing pillows were
withdrawn, so that he lay prone on the bed.
Silence was unbroken, except by an &C.
casional question to the dying man. Once,
when the Senator exclaimed, II am dying"
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Holloway, inquired,
"You are not afraid to die, Oliver?" He
gave a negative answer by swaying his
head. Soon afterward similar exclama-
ton, question and answer passed between
him ana DR.; Thgmpson AT ten minutes
past FIVE O'Clock he exclaimed 81 am dy-
ing; I am worn out;' and these were his
last words. After this it was difficult to
discover that life renamed.
On the physicians announcement that
he was going, the gaze OF his wife became
fixed on the face of the husband and father,
with now and then a piteois look Of inqui-
ny tow ard the doctor, until his final an
nouncement, sit is over" The widow
clasped her sons to her, exclaiming, quiet
ly: "My darling boys y The friends with
drew. leaving them for q time, when Uhey
were tenderly led from the room.
This evening, by direction of the Mayor,
the city bell has been tolled 81 strokes, in
dicating the dead Senator's age. The bells
will also be tolled each day at noon until
after the fHners N; z. Sun.

in Des Moines, Iowa. She was fast accu-

a substance really composed of white sugar

that she had sold a great quantity of white
sugar at the rate of about a dollar per half

matter to get them wrong shifted on a
subject when they have taken the trouble
to.inform themselves about it. To those
gentlemen who differed with us as to what
was best to do we accord the sincerest con-
victions, but we assure them that ere a

result. if the legislature is of the same sort

Oliver P. Morton, the most distinguished
Senator of the Republican party, or rather
of the Radical wing of that party, died last
week. He was man Of tremendous will
and loved the Union as intensely as he ha-
ted those who would have broken it up. lie
was thorough politician, but fell far
short of having claim to being states
mon. On great public questions he Was
as undecided as the merest ward polite
IAN When that tremendous question, ne
gro suffrage doomed up after the war, he
sent message to the Indiana legislature
opposing it, but soon finding the drift of
Northern sentiment he became It's ardent
advocate. When Andrew Johnson started
his Southern policy Morton FASTENED to his
support but discovering its unpopularlty,
ilastened away again. In peace legislation
he was as uncertain, for from being a VIC
lent advocate of early resumption, he was
frightened by the financial panic of 1873
into a retreat from that position. His
personal integrity was unimpeachable. but
there he stopped, for no politician was

the South hated him thoroughly but that
is only partly true. In her bondage she
only hated him indefinitely in COR mon
with number of her enemies, but it is
hardly correct that she singled him out for
her supreme animesity. Since her deliv-
erance he has been held back from public
1ife and had too many powerful enemies in
his own party to merit her serious appre-
hensions. If she bore him ill will at all it
would have been gratiied better if he had
lived, than died. No man in America
would have suffered more bitter hu-
initiation and chagrin at restoration OF
affection between the tWo sections. which
he was impotent to stop. than Oliver P.

WHERE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
SLEEPs.-It is becoming painfully clear
that the bad San Domingo monks played it
on the Spaniards in 1876, when they de-
livered to them bogus bones as those of
Christopher Columbus for removal with
much pomp to a sepulture in the Cathedral
Of Havana. If it be true that the great
discoverer's bones are still in San Domingo,
we now see what we lost by not annexing
the island, as Grant wanted us to do.
Still, as the authorities, ecclesiastical and
civil, propose to perpetuate the proof of
the pious fraud of their predecessors by
raising a monument to Columbus over his
real bones, we can partly eXpiate our folly
by subscribing to the monument.

A dear face shines upon me like star
Through death and darkness. Poor, sweet lonely
love!
Oh, would be the stone upon her grave,
Or the least flower that blossoms on her DUST
But for the blessed hope that shall meet
My darling somewhere in the silent land.
The rock of death divides the rushing wave.
But the twain streams shall surely meet again.

Touches my ears, and every solemn sound
Repeats her name whose pensive thoughts were

My arms are empty, but my heart is full,
And shall be full of her forever more.
