Grace Greenwood has visited the
Old Padlington church yard in
London, where are buried q number
OF noted persons. Here is to be
found the grave of the distinguished
queen of English tragedy, Sarah
Siddons, in the most desolate part
Of that lesolate old yard, immedi-
ately on the walk, without q tree or
a plant or II bit of turf near it. A
plain, broad marble slab, surrounded
by an iron railing, covers the grave,
bearing the inscription "Sacred to
tho memory of Sarah Siddons, who
departed this life June 8, 1881, in
the 10th year Of her age. Blessed
arc the dead which die in the Lord"
She might have been a cOstermong
it's unsightly surroundings would
tell. Here also is tho simple altar
tomb whercon lies the figure of John
Bunyan. Thackeray and John Leech
lie under plain altar tombs, almost
side by side, as seems fitting for the
two great satiIists of their time, so
kindred in their genius. A soft
CLEAN of sunshine rested on the
noble bronze bust which marks the
grave of Tom Hood. Over Leigh
Hunts grave. is a marble bust, said
to be marvelously like him, a unique
and refined head, and a clear-cut
face, seeming olive through the
marble-cold1y glowing with tender,
poetic feeling. A little away from
Leigh Hunts grave is that of a
woman fit to be the companion and
friend in life and tho neighbor in
death of the choicest poets and the
rarest artists, "Sophia, wife of Nath-
aniel HAWTHORNE" The headstone
bears only that simple inscription,
expressive of that peculiar wifely
with which she, a woman
of rare culture and even genius,
her life in her husbands,
and would have sunk her fame out
of sight in his. Isaac Watts, the
Christian poet, is buried here, and so
is the great actor Macready.

Horse raising has become a large
business on the Western plains.
Some of the herders on the Yellow
stone have from 500 to 800 head,
and arc making fortunes by selling
the three-year- olds at $50 to 800
each. No grain is fed and no stabl-
ing is provided, abundant grass and
rough sheds sufficing. The business
is exceedingly laborious and risky,

would spring up ID their hearts to |
give way only to despair. Hin HAS
often told me how, when he awoke
to consciousness Of his condition,
the thoughts that flashed through
his brain like lightning; how he
thought if he could only see. one ray
Of light or breathe the fresh air once
again; that if he could only let his
wife know how and where he died,
that death would be q relief to him.
Almost suffocated for want of fresh
air, they worked on; at last it seemed
to them that something crushed
them; they had dug through the
loose powders and the light burst
upon them. They both tainted, over
come with the sudden transition from
their suffocation and despair to light
and hope. How long they remained
there they know not. When they
awoke from their swoon the first
the clash of arms, and the quick
rolling roar of the battle as it ragged
around and above. Almost in stu
Dor, trying to realize that they could
again see the light of heaven and
hear the voice of living creature,
they lay still until they recovered
their minds enough to know what
was going on. Hill told me that
when he knew and realized that it
was q battle, the sound was the
sweetest music that had eyer greeted
his ears. At last the cry of victory
rose high above everything else.
They knew that somebody was van
quished and that somebody was vic
tor, who they knew not. They
emerged from their awful retreat,
weak, worn in body, and with minds
almost crazed. They knew not how
long they had been there; they did
not even know their old comrades !;
nor could they realize that it was
the same day that they were buried.
They we're brought back to me at
the field hospital more dead than
alive, for, strange as it may seem,
they we're the most sadly changed
men that ] ever beheld. Both were
fine looking soldiers before; now
they were weak, with sunken cheeks
and eyes. Lieut.. Hill, whose hair "a
hours before was black, without q
single gray hair in it Gas he was only
80 years old), was now almost as
white as snow. Whether it turned
from horror at his condition, or the
death1y heat of the subterranean
bed, or both, I do not pretend to say.
i simply give the facts, not as I
heard, but as I saw them; and he
still lives to verify that this is no
but one of my experiences
in q war whose first gun I heard
fred, and tho last gun of which
sounded the requiem of the lost
cause whenI was at my post of duty.

SALT LAKE. June 9.-The notorious
Porter Rockwell died here in stable
this evening at 6 O'Clock. He was under
indictment for the murder of the Aiken
party of emigrants in 1857. and was to
have been tried at the September term of
the First District Court. District At
torney Van Zale had pretty sure case
worked up against him, and thinks he
would have secured conviction, in
which case Rockwell had promised his
attorneys to make confession of all his
crimes and give the names of those who
were guilty with him. He was well
yesterday and attended the theater in
the evening. He was driving some dis
tance from the city to-day, and on his
return to the stable got out of his buggy
and died almost instantly. 1t is there
fore thought, in view of the facts in the
case, that he was foully dealt with by
some OF his fellow-D anites. He was
abot GO years of age.

WARD ITEMS.
Ward Reflex June 8th,l

Ward Reflex June sth.l
1t will be scource of no little grati6.
cation to those who have ever had any
faith in Ward to learn that steps are at
last about to be taken by the Martin
White Company that will in few
months bring the camp into prominence
or prove that it has been overrated. We
learned at the Company Office yester.
day that the course to be pursued in
future had been decided upon, that
mill of the most approved pattern would
be built and, in connection with it, o
Stetefeldt furnace. The site for the pro-
posed mill and furnace IS about half
mile below Smith & Meyers brewery,
to which pipe will be laid and through
which water can be conducted without
artificial aid. from Willow Greek to the
mill. The smelters and cupel furnaces
will run at least month longer and then
close down. when Mr.. Sweetapple will
60 below and order the necessary mill
machinery. When the success met with
by the Manhattan mill ut Austin is taken
into consideration we do not see how q
similar mill with Stetefeldt furnace
connected with it can prove failure
here.
Among other contemplated changes
and Improvements not yet decided upon
is the working Of the mine entirely
through the Mountain Pride tunnel,
which taps the vein a. the greatest depth
yet reached. A tramway is also talked
of from the mouth of this tunnel, which
will carry the ore to point in Ward
canyon easily accessible to teams, thus
avoiding the road by which the mine ia
now reached with such difficulty. The
mine never looked better than at presen,
and would seem to justify the steps now
about to be taken. Dividends, we art
told, may be looked for by the first O.
January.
A solid gold nugget, worth something
over fifty dollars was shown us Saturday
last by J. W. Bounds, taken from Dr.
Gulch in the neighborhood of the towl
of Osceola.
From the LIST OF May up to the presen
time there has been shipped from Ware
by the Martin White Company in silvs
bullion and silver in matt valued a
$50, 1873. From the 18th to the Goth o
May silver in matt accumulated valued
at 1926, 069, which remains on hand, q
also that produced since May goth in tn
latter form. All told the product ha
been $75, 900 for the month of May.
A new kind of ore has been encounter
ed in the Paymaster mine on level will
the Mountain Pride tunnel which great
resembles ruby silver.

inspected the mill, assay Office. etc. The
mill had stopped running for the purpose
of cleaning up and repairing some of the

the mill was undergoing thorough over

new guides placed on them and were

up having to be made to make some set
Elements. Taking about clean up Of
q mill, a lady stated to us that she often
heard them state that the mill was under
going cleaning up" but when it was
finished it seemed to her just as dirty as
1t was previously, and we agree with her.
The assay Office at the mill. under charge
OF Johnny Whitehill. is very complete
everything handy and needful and kept
in frst-class order. A couple of bars of
bullion had just been cast, which were

Marseilles is, we believe, the second
city in France. and has population ex-

about 100000. At this season Of the

Algerines, Greeks. Italians. Egyptians
and Spaniards, oil arrayed in their ma.

streets is novel sight to Americans,
and our young friends enjoyed it amaz-
ingly. and voted Marseilies to be bright
and beautiful city. Marseilles is famous
for its fne drives. and We had no sooner
got rid of the dust of travel than we
started for general Reconnaissance of
its beauties. The principal drive is
through the southern section of the city,
consisting OF broad avenue, about 200
feet wide, along which are the residences
or chatesux Of the solid men of this fine
commercial city, each surrounded with
spacious gardens ornamented statuary
and fountains. This avenue has three
rows of immense sycamore trees on each
side of it, which form perfect arch and
shade over the main drive, extending
about three miles to the city park. The
park embraces about 600 acres, bordering
on the Mediterranean. with numerous
mountain islands in the distance. rising
thousands of feet from its blue depths.
The fountains. cascades. lakes and flower
beds ornamenting this park make it
more beautiful and attractive than the

VAN BUREN,

The Connty-Seat of Crawford County,
and also the principal town, is thriving
and improving town, pleasantly situated
on the north bank of the Arkansas river,
l60 miles west of Little Rock nv railroad
and 250 miles from the same point by the
river Its population numbers 1900 to
1000. There is, in successful operation
here three steam FIGURING Mills, which
manufacture as good -four as is made any
where, which is shipped in large quanti-
ties to Little Rock and other points he.
Tow here; steam Saw and Pfainihg Milf
to which is attached machinery for max
ing mouldines and scroll work; a wagon,
buggy and carriage mandatory; three
steam cotton gins; Broom Factory
which ships brooms to St Louis, New
Orleans and other places. The Presby
terian, M. e. Church South, Episcopal
and Catholic Societies, all have good
churches. in which services are regularly
held. The Masons, Odd Fellows, and
Temperance Societies all have organiza
tons, There are, also, two weekly news
papers published here. Van Buren, has
many buildings, both brick and frame,
that would be an ornament to a much
larger place; her merchants and profess
ional men stand high in their several ca
pacities; and her citizens, generally, for
hospitality, etiquette and intelligence,
will rank with those of any country.
Van Buren, in consequence of her heal
thy location, her facilities for receiving
and shipping, both by rail and river, and
cheapness of all the necessaries Of life,
presents great advantages for manufact
uring.
