The BODY Of q Man Found.

Yesterday afternoon, the body of man was
found in the cemetery near the Insane Hospital.
The body was well dressed, and proved to be that
of John Morrisey, an inmate Of the Soldiers
Home aged about As years. A portion of his
clothing Indicated that he was an ex-soder, anu
on it was found his name. The appearance of
the body indicated that it had been there for some
time. Five dollars were found on his person. 1t
is probable that in making his way to the Homo,
during one of the storms of last winter. he be-
came bewildered, lost his way, and persisted in
the graveyard. Coroner VIM II. Libby, Esq,
was called, but he deemed an'inquest on the re-
mains unnecessary.

New YOrk's Hanglnan.

The man who has filled the Office of
hangman in New York and Brooklyn for
the past quarter of a century lives in the
Wallabout neighborhood, Brooklyn. He
is medium sized, dark-skinned, black
haired man, who is known as Henry
Isaacs, false name, adopted to screen
his family from notoriety. Isaacs' first
execution was in 1853, when Nicholas
Hewlett and William Saul, two rive-
pirates, were hanged in New York.
Since that time he has of1iciated at the
execution of over sixteen criminals In
New York and Brooklyn.
Isaacs had been engaged to hang
man some time since in New York, but
lost his fee ($25W by the death of his
prospective victim. He follows what is
known as the Marwood method of hang
ing, in which the knot is placed under
the chin, SO that death may be produced
by breaking the neck, instead of by

Letters of Ofliceseekers.

Governor Young of Ohio gives an
amusing account of the manner in which
epistolary applications to President
Hayes from officeseekers are treated in
Washington. Mr.. Hayes has three Sec
retaries and four clerks, and these gen
tlemen attend to all his correspondence,
even that marked private and personal.
In front of these gentlemen are num-
ber of large baskets; one is marked
estate" another "War," another
"Navy," another "Post-ofice," and SO
OH through each of the departments.
Every letter is opened and carefully
read. If its writer wants a place for
himself or friend, as postmaster, the
document is indorsed "Postal depart
ment," and thrown into the basket of
that department. If for place in any
other department, it is correctly in
dorsed and thrown into it's proper bas-
ket. Occasionally letter is found the
contents of which show that it should be
seen by the presidential eye, and this is
placed in small basket labeled "Presi-
dent" When all the mail has been
opened and distributed, it is carried off
to the various departments, where it is
again examined, and then pigeon-holed
for future reference. Of the immense
mail sent the President every day from
officeseekers, hardly one letter in fifty
ever reaches the presidential eye.

History OF a Diamond.

A romantic history is given to valu
able diamond, which is said to be for
sale by firm in Salt Lake City. 1t
weighs eight and half carats, and is
half an inch in diameter. 1t is related of
it that for many hundred years it was in
the family of an East India prince, and
by him presented to Queen Christiana
of Spain, who gave it to her daughter Is
abella on the occasion of her marriage.
When Isabella was forced to part with it,
a gentleman from st. Louis purchased
it at an auction sale in London. Subse-
quently it was stolen from him at Sara
toga Springs, but on the offer of 5000
and ''no questions asked" it was re-
turned. Afterward this same gentleman
went to Salt Lake City and sold his die
mond for mining property valued at
800, 900. The mine developed well, and
the lucky speculator realized over $50, 900
from this investment. The miner who
received the stone was cheated out of it
by Chicago gamblers, who sold it to
dealer, who in turn sold it to
the firm in Salt Lake City who now pos
sesses it.

A European War Map.

That our readers may better under
stand the position of the opposing armies
in the war between Russia and Turkey,
we have been at pains to obtain the map
which they will find in this number of
our paper. 1t is taken from the New
York Tribune, and is a faithful repre-
sentation of the ground which is to be
the scene of the struggle between the
Russian and the Turk-a struggle which
cannot fail to be of interest to the people
of the United States. The first line of
Turkish defences comprises the towns
along the right bank of the Danube
Rustchuk, Widdin, Silistria, etc. The
Russians have had their headquarters at
Kischereff, on railroad half way be-
tween Jassy and Odessa. The Turkish
feet on the Danube is mistress of the
water. The map also shows the Russian
boundary previous to and after the
Crimean war. The second line of Turkish
defense is i'll the Balkan range of noun
tains, forminga great rampant which the
Russians will be compelled to scale
before they can reach Constantinople.

gray sky and a gray sea,
All in the wild March weather;
wind that bore down the storm-tossed shore
Snowflake and spray together;
A wrecks jagged timbers, sharp and brown,
That shvered and swayed as the tide went
Red roofs high in the quaint old town,
A headland grim, with castled crown
Mid waste of withered heather.
A gray sky and gray sea,
And a noise like rolling thunder,
As the foam flew fast on the bitter blast
That tore the wave asunder;
golden sand reach, long and low,
Black rocks that mid ages of ebb and flow
Guard the beautiful bay, where long ago
Came ships with the Raven flag at their prov
For slaughter, fire and plunder.
gray sky and a gray sea,
And two who stood together
With hands close clasped as hands are grasped
That are parting, parting forever;
Two whose pale lips quivered to say
The words the world hears every day,
As for all we struggle and weep and pray
Young hearts must break in life's fever play,
And links are light to sever.
A gray sky and gray sea.
Where white gulls stopped to hover;
Their broad wings flashed as the great waves
dashed
Where by lover fingered lover;
Those two may nevermore meet again;
But the wild March wind, with its chafe and
strain,
Will for aye recall the passionate pain
OF that farewell tryst by the stormy main,
When first loves dream was over.

Since the troublous times of the
"Lava Beds" but little has been heard
of the Modocs. The tribe, never very
large, is rapidly becoming extinct. At
the present time it is said to number but
III souls, fifty-four of which are males
and sixty-three females. They are To-
Gated on a fertile tract of land contain
ing 1000 acres, in the northeast corner
of the Shawnee reserve in the Indian
Territory, and have turned their atten-
ton to agriculture, which they pursue
industriously and with success. They
have a large and valuable crop on hand,
in proof of their energy as farmers. The
government has expended nearly $4,000
in providing them with schools. 1t is
possible that their existence may be pro-
tracted 10y the changed and ameliorated
condition in which the Modocs find them
selves; but much more powerful tribes
have entirely disappeared, and it is only
a question of time when they will follow
suit.
