SYMPATHY.

o, mother whose children are sleeping,
Thank God by their pillows tonight;
And pray for the mothers now weeping
Der pillows too smooth and too white
| Where bright little heads oft have lain,
And soft little cheeks have bsen pressed
o, mothers who know not his pain.
Take courage and bear all the rest!
For the sombre-winged angel is going
With pitiless flight DER the land
And we wake in the morn, never knowing
What he, ere the night, may demand.
Yes, tonight, while our darlings are sleep
ing,
There's many soft little bed,
Whose pillows are moistened with weeping
For the loss one dear little head.
There are hearts on whose iunermost altar
There is nothing but aches tonight,
There are voices Whose t0ues sadly falt,r,
And dim eyes that shrink from the light.
o, mothers whose children are sleeping,
As ye bend to esress the fair heads
Pray, pray for the mothers now weeping
Ger pti1ul, smooth little beds

has been one OF the pests that

been prevalent enough in any one
portion OF the United States to ex-
cite any serious apprehensions. But
at this moment it is beginning to
become serious matter to the
residents III this part of the State.
Our representatives. to the legiSla

before that body at its next session,
in order to have an investigation.

The Death of Dan Rice's Horse
Excelsior.
st. Louis Republican.

81. LOUIS hcpupllcan'
The old white stallion Excelsior,
0nced owned by Dan Rice, the
showmtn, died yesterday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock, from debility an old
age. The old horse was SO years
OF age. He died at Arnot's stable,
after an ailment of only few days.
About the last exhibition made of
he horse was on the stage of one
of our theaters, about two years
Igo. The horse was levied upon
lor debt by the Missouri Pacific
railroad about two months ago, and
his spirit has taken its departure
under that attachment.
Dan Rice, who went on to Penn
sylvania last week, called at Arnot's
stable to see his Old friend, and
shed tears over him. He said that
he was on his way to Pennsylvania,
and it was his intention to send
on money to redeem him and let
him die in peace, aud have his
torm preserved by the taXideImst.
Excelsior was in Dan Rice's service
Tor about thirty years, and has been
Exhibited in every city and town of
note in the United States. He has

The Difference in Solids.

Baltimore Sun.
In the Forty-frst congress, ont OF
sixty three Southern representa-
tives admitted to seats, fifty.two
were republicans, and of Southern
senators twenty-five were repnbli-
cans. The South was just about
as solid then as it is now, but it
WAS on the other side. In the
Forty-frst congress the entire body
of the white people of the South,
the people who owned all the pro-
perty and paid all the taxes, were
practically without representation;
yet not one word of disapproval
was uttered against this monStrous
wrong by press or speaker of the
republican party. Now, on vague
allegations, totally unsupporte,. by
respectable proof, that the colored
people of two or three States are
deprived of representations. the
partisan press of the North is is in
agony of horror and reproach.

international Mail Service. How
a Postal Card Went Around
the World.

A striking Illustration of tie ex-
tent and excellence of the argu-
ments for an international mail
service, which have resulted from
the postal union, is given III an
official publication received 10y our
superintendent OF foreign mails
from the Brrne central bureau.
A resident of Chemnitz, Saxony,
mailed at that place at p. III. ON
the Oath of May last ii postal card
addressed to himself, carrying re-
quest to all postmasters to dispatch
it succe>sively and without loss of
time to Alexandria, Singapore,
Yokohoma, San francisco and
New York, and thence to Chemnitz,
his object being to win wager
that with the existing postal ar
engagements the circuit of the world
could thus be made by postal mat
Ter within 1870 days. The request
was complied with, and the card
rrived in Chemnitz from New
York on the 117th day after the
original mailing.
The postmaster general of Ger
many had caused this card to be
photographed, and transmitted a
copy TO the Berne international
bureau with the remark that had il
been posted one hour earlier 1t
would have accomplished its jour
uey in ninety six days Instead OF
one hundred aud seventeen.
