CEMETERIES,

Which contain the remains of hundreds of former
busy occupants OF the present houses Moralizing
in graveyard is trite, although it has been the
custom in literature from time lmmemorial; but
to 90 into the old graveyard on Plum street, over
run with rank vegetation with half-hidden,
crumbling tombstones, starting up from the rank
grass bearing dates of the last century, each In
scription made for the avowed purpose of resca'
ing the occupants name fromIobli7ion-and yet
in few years the inanimate form is forgotten,
and as years roll on, the curious stranger, IDLY
wanders through the place, reads name, (Which
he spells wrong. mayhap,) and turns carelessly
away to look for older relies. Here lie men and
women, who in their day were actuated by the
same motives and swayed by the same passions as
wel-they added their mite TO the burden of some
human lives performed deeds that they thought
would influence the worlds cOurse-their world {;
but death overlook them and they disappeared
beneath the ocean Of life, and the very ripple Of
their sinking is fOrgOt-naught left but crazy
inscription upon rotting stone which antigua
res puzzle over and fail to read. Such is life,
and a fitting commentary on Its transitory nature.
Life is mainly valuable in its active relations,
much better is it, so to live and act, that our mem
cries may remain green in the minds of our asso-
ciates, rather. than of the same color upon a
mouldy monument. There are several burial
places in the city which, to one of a rejecting
turn of mind, would well repay visit, but the
pretties one to the general visitor is what is call
ed the new cemetery" on the other side of the
West creek about mile from the Courthouse,
comfortable board walk being laid the entire
distance. This Goods acre" as the Germans ex-
pressivey call it, is laid out on HILL facing the
"Edsr and covered with heavy growth of forest
trees aud evergreens. TOmbstOnes of various
beautiful designs, as well as towering monument
al shafts point to heaven, mutely expressing the
hone of the sleeper beneath, to reach that blessed
abode. The grounds are neatly laid out in regu'
lar blocks, with broad avenues and wide foot
paths between; the graves show an unusual
amount of loving care, most Of them blooming
rich with rare plants, while in many places a
stained and weather worn flag marks the resting
place of one of Ohios gallant soldiers whose mem
ory is so beautifully recalled the Goth of each
MAY. The Catholics also have cemetery for
their own use which, although not so far ad-
yanced in shrubbery, is still very beautiful.

OTHER PLACES.

There are several delightful walks in the north
and east parts, in the neighborheod of the fair
grounds, all OF which at this time are in their
brightest and greenest hues, To the practical
man, and those who do not enjoy the beautiful
in nature, day spent in and among the wilder
ness of manufactures will prove both instructive
and entertaining; but as said before, no mention
of them shall be made at this time, as they offer
enough material for a separate article. Spending
so much time on the foregoing sightseeing nat
urslly takes time and in surprise we find the
morning hour nearly gone. Hurrying to the Post
office, we come into the business part Of the city,
stores full of customers, streets crowded with
country teams, anxious merchants running to the
bank for little more time" the patent cement
man and patent medicine peddler alike stick
ing" their customers, the shouting drayman, that
useful but much abused man, the daily reporter,
whose mistakes are in everybOdy's mouth, and
whose merits go, as matter Of course, and lastly
an occasional policeman. All these, and many
more, go in constant array, but being specta-
Gle to be seen in any city, need not be dwelt upon
After dinner there is a lul and general desire
to take things easy, If such thing is possible to
the American people.

Tried for his Life.

great criminal trial may be hkencd
TO great drama. Each OF the oppos-
ing lawyers strives TO make certain
impression on the twelve spectators in
the lury-boX, while the Judge presides
TO see that all is done according TO the
rules of law. One such trial took place
some twenty years ago in Indiana. The
lawyer for the prisoner was Joseph G..
Marshall, q great orator. The success
iul WAY in which he put the evidence
for the defense, and the power of a
single sentence, are both exhibited in
the following narrative Of the trial.
Currie was an eccentric old man, who
coupled the profession of sChoolmaster
with that of herb doctor" One night
Curric wife being taken violently i'll,
he gave her what he took 20 be calomel,
but which proved to be arsenic. In the
morning she was corpse.
Alarmed at what he had done, the old
man locked up his little cabin and fed
the neighborhood A week later. the
smell of the decaying body attracted
the attention Of passers, and Currie wax
indicted for murder.
Marshall, believing him innocent of
any wrong intent, volunteered 20 defend
him. The only witness called for the
defense WAS DR.. Cornett well known
physician OF Madison. Mr.. Marshall
without preliminary questions, handed
HIM two little papers, carefully folded
and asked him 10 inform the Jury Of
their contents.
The physician took the papers, ad e.
Jnsted his -pectacles, and carefully ex-
amlned the contents. Not satisfied
with this, he took up a little Of each
sub tance, sifted them between his
thumb and refnger, smelt them, and
as final test, tasted the least bit OF each

that calomel."
That is sufficient Doctor" said
Mr. Marshall The prosecution had
nothing 10 ask.
Tbs closed the evidence, and Mr.
Marshall, bOwing 20 the court, and turn
ing 20 the jury, thus addressed them:
Your Honor and gentlemen Of the
jury, you have noticed the absence of
proof showing any criminal intent.
