a ST. Louis gentleman, WELL
known as a writer, has just returned
from Baltimore. bringing with him
the stone which marked the grave of
Edgar A. Poe before the remains of
the poet were removed to their press
ent resting place beneath monu-
ment, and also a part of the coffin
containing them. The relics we're
obtained from the sexton who had
charge of the removal Of the body,
and a curious interview was had with
him. The sexton was asked what
was the condition of Poe's body
when the grave was opened-what it
looked like? The answer revealed
a curious fact, not heretofore made
public. The sexton said that all that
remained of the body was a skeleton.
tolerably well preserved : "and,' he
added, when the head was moved, the
brain ratified around inside Just like
a limp of dirt. His idea was that
the brain of Poe had dried into a
ball which rolled about in the cavity.
The stone brought to St. Louis
is small sandstone slab, with NUNS
ber on it to designate the occupant of
the grave, and stood over Poe's cOf>
fin for years. The wood of the coffin
is, of course, somewhat decayed.

INCREASE OF CRIME IN GERMANY

I INCKEAhE OF OhIME IN UEhMANY-
"A German paper publishes statis-
tics which show vast augmentation
of crime in Germany within the last
eight years. in Prussia alone the
convictions have arisen from G. 403,
in 1877, to 1907, in 1878. Assas-
sinations. maimings, violence to wo-
men. forgeries and fraudulent bank
rnprcies have all greatly increased
This is ascribed to the more expen-
sive mode of life and the dissipations
which have prevailed since the French
indemnity flooded Germany with
money,

fourteen, Poe said was ''the most beau
ballad of the kind ever written :T'
1t hath been said. for all who die
There is tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
O'er every bier.
But in that hour of pain and dread,
Who viii draw near
Around my humble couch, and shed
One farewell tear.
Who'll watch life's fast departing ray,
In deep despair,
And sooth my Spirit on its way,
With hoty prayer?
What mourner around my bier viii come
In weeds of woe;
And follow me to my long home,
Solemn and slow?
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who there my pure affection led,
VIII come and weep;
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose-
My lOwly rest?
Could l but know when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart woul there be keeping
Watch all around,
As if som gem lay shrined beneath
That cold sod's gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death,
And light the tomb.
Yes, in that hour if l could feel
From halls of glee
And beauty's presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit and weep by me,
In nights deep noon.
Oh! would ask of memory
No other boon.
But, ah ! lOnlier fate is mine,
a deeper woe;
From all love in youths sweet time
l soon must go.
DraY round me my pale robes of white,
In a dark spot,
To sleep thro' death 5 lone dreamless night
Lone and forgot.

Illness of jefferson Davis and

A priv te letter from an intimate
aud dear friend of EX President Da.
Wis, written at Beauvoir, informs US
| that for some months past Mrs. Davis
! has been seriously i'll a,d Mr.. Davis
has himself been fearfuly Frustrated
by anxiety and care for his beloved
and devoted wife. To add to their dis
tress. while Mrs. Davis was GONZALES
cling, the news came that their son,
Jefirrson Davis. Jr., had fallen i'll
with the fever in Memphis. In their
feeble condition the President and
Mrs. Davis made hasty preparation
to fly to the bedside of their only son.
It was evident, however, TO their
friends that it would be impossible for
them to make the mourDful voyage,
and by the earnest and prayerful en-
treaties of Mrs. Dorsey and Major
Walthall, they were restrained from
venture that would have been fatal to
both. Major Walthall, who has long
been as one of the family. insisted on
going to Memphis himself, and arriv-
ed there in time to convey to the dy-
ing youth the words of love aud ten
derness he bore from the afflicted pa
rents. Soon after the departure of
Major Walthall Mrs. DaYis was again
taken violently i'll and narrowly es-
capped death, though we are glad TO
say she is now again rapidly conva-
lescing and has been declared out of
danger by her physician. Mr.. Davis,
overwhelmed by the loss of his only
remaining son and the illness and
danger of his, is still much prostrated.

SUNBEAM AND 1.

We own no bOuses, no lots, no lands,
No dainty viands for use are spread:
By sweat of our hrOws and toll of our hands
We earn the pittance that buys Us bread.
a I'd yet we live in a nOblcr state
Sunbeam and THAN the milliOnaires
Who dine of silver and golden plate
With liveTied laqueys behind their chairs.
We have no riches in bonds or stocks,
No bank book shows our balance to draw
Yet we carry safe key that unlocks
More treasures than CrOesus ever saw.
We wear no Velvets or satin fine,
We dress in very hOmely way;
But o, what luminous lustre shine
About Suhbeam's gown and my sodden gray.
When cloudy weather obscures our skies,
And some days darken with drops OF rain,
We have bur 10 look at each others eyes,
And ali is balmy and bright again.
All ours is the alchemy that transmutes
The dregs to eliXer, the dross to gold;
And so we live hesperian fruits
Sunbeam and land never grow old.

SHE WAITED NOT IN TAIN.
THOUGH ELEVEN LONG YEARS INTERVIEWER
BETWEEN HOPE AND REALIZATION,

Yesterday occurred the happy ending of
a long and weary waiting on the part of a
lady who was Onpe the faiIest of the fair
daughters of Toledo. Eleven years ago
she was betrotheG, with her parents oou
sent, to young man of fine character, but
without what is considered the most desir-
able possessions next 20 that, namely,
money. Hestating TO take his beloved one
from her home to the trials that poverty
entails, he bade her farewell 10 go west 10
seek his fortune. She had letters from him
until he arrived in Omaha, when they sud
denly ceased. The days wore into weeks,
the weeks into years, but still 10 word from
the absent one to the expectant girl, who
waited and watched all in vain. His
friends gave him up for dead, but she, with
s wOman's persistency, refused to think so
and declared her belief that be would some
time return to claim his bride. Suitors
came and went her eyes became dim with
weeping, the roses faded from her checks
and gradually Withdrawing from the scenes
she had graoed with her presence, her very
existence was almost forgotten bv society
Two weeks since, while sitting alone in
her quiet parlOr, the bell rang, and in a
moment more the door opened and a gen
tleman entered the room. Tho br0nEed
and bearded man had little resemblance 10

her tToth so many long years before, bat
the eye of love could not be deceived, and
in moment more she vas clasped in the
arms OF him for whom she had Sd long
watched and waited. His story was soon
told. Leaving Omaha with an emigrant
tain for the Pacific coast, t was attacked
by Indians, and he WAS taken prisoner and
carried away far into the interior. Every
effort to escape was futile. and he was
passed from one tribe TO another, getting
farther away from civilization as the
months rolled on. At last, bV fortunate
chance, he managed to deceive his iailers,
and, after incredible hardShipG. reached
San Francisco three years from the time
he left Omaha. Here nc encountered an
old acquaintance from Toledo. wEo, in an-
swer to his Inquiries about the dear ones
there, told him that his betr0thed was the
wife OF another. Stunned and hesrtbrOken,
he made no attempt to communicate with
anybndy here, and was not undcceived un-
til few days ago, when, on a visit TO San
Francisco from his inland home, be had
again received tidlngs through an Old
neigh boT that sent him hOmeyard aE fast
rs the car could bring him hithsr. The
denOuement was what might bo expected,
and this morning the happy pair started
for their return home, whittier the good
wishes of their friends, iucludiLg those of
