TOO YOUNG TO DIE

Among those killed in tho disastrous
battle before Nashville, Dec. 18th, 1864,
was a beautiful oy-soldier, whose uni
form updccorated by any token of rank,
marked him as private in the Confeder-
ate Army: his face was of wonderful
beauty, every feature being as delicate as
a woman's, while his form was as sym
metrical and graceful AS that of an Ap-
polo. Such q youthful victim to the aw-
ful horrows of war, was n sacrifice calcu-
lated to dim the coldest eye with teare.
On the hard fought field, where the bat
tie storm,
Had echoed it's sullen thunder;
Law soldier child with the golden thread
Of his young life snapped asunder.
He had comrades stark, in the gret
Dviny cold i'm their bloody places;
But they were bearded men with stalwat
And a mans look on their faces.
But tho soldier-child with his silken
ocrh smooth white forehead sweeping !;
With horrid wound in his brave young
heart,
Seemed too fair for deaths grim keeping.
For his beard-less face in it's calm r,pose,
Bore the mark or beauty's finger,
And his fine sweet mouth seemed the
| tempting spot, II,
Where a woman's lip would finger.
Like slender shadows Ger the tleecy snow,

ouR WASHINGTON LETTER. &

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 3rd, As7s.
Thus far Congress has not
done anything of Importance:
On the first day the messageof
Mr.. Hayes was read. There are
but two matters of interest in
this message. The first is in a
recommendation that green
backs be retired. Yesterday
two Republican Representa-
tives introduced resolutions in
effectcontlemning such acourse.
EElsesaafs@Hh 41e asHhv thf aSppdFt: @sas4WiSs HE T3 Ra
publican of this morning con-
denses it's advice upon the sub.
.ject as follows: Let we'll
enough alone.o
The second notable point i'm
the message is it's labored COM
mendation of"Civil Service re-
form" The brass statute of
Jackson in front of the White
House must have blushed while
Mr.. Hayes prepared that piece
of impertinence. No other adj
ministration has so frequently
and boldly defied the laws and
rules of decency as this
one in meddling with politics
in the States. 1t removed a
man from a trumping Custom
House Office in New York be-
cause of his lntitness for it, and
then forced his election as Gov
ernor upon a State more popu-
lous and wealthy than was the
whole country at the time our
civil service rules were made.
Every member of the Cabinet,
except Secretary Schurz, has
disgusted the country with po-
litical affairs. Mr.. Hayes has
had a finger in every personal
and political contest in Ohio
since his Inauguration, and is
now instructing the people of
Ohio as to their choice of a
United States Senator. Yet one
fifth of his whole message is
taken up with Communications
of civil service reform
| Yesterday in the Senate Gen.
Gordon introduced a preamble
and resolution on the subject
! Of the Nicaragua Canal. The
resolution is AS follows:
"That the Government of
the United States pledges to
accord full and entire protec-
ton to the company, to which
shall be granted a concession
by the government of Nicarau-
qua for the construction of said
inter-oceanic canal, and will Sc
cure to said company the peace
full enjoyment of the rights con-
ceded by said grant" The last
word Of the resolution is the
key to it's meaning. This is the
proposed company which has
offers of unlimited capital from
abroad, and of which Genera
Grant is to be the President.
General Burnside whose res
, olution. affirmed the Monro'
I doctrine, had its point extract

Looked around him. The grass
was green and brilliant p; the
delicate leaves of the shrubs,
shining beneath the water
which had washed them, form
ed a fine, lace like network
against the dark background of
the great forest beyond. He
stopped in order to see better,
to observe better and to take
in better the impression of the
wet forest, more impressive and
more human, so to speak, in it's
great shadows than beneath the
sunshine in all the splendor of
the day.
The pretty and graceful fig
ure of a young girl stood out
against the foliage of the birch
trees. She advanced with a
supple movement, without per-
'ceiving Maurice, who, as i'm
movable as the trunk of a ches-
nut tree, was watching her.
When two steps from him the
young girl perceived him. She
started and let fall a few twigs
from the fagot of wood that she
was carrying on her head.
"You frightened me-" said
she, smiling; and her large
black eyes shone out merrily
beneath the tangle of her
blonde hair.
He looked at her without
answering. A complete harm
ony, which no words can rem
der, reigned between the slen-
der figure, the laughing face,
the lace-like foliage of the
glade and the tints ofthe land
scape.
'Stand STILL" said the young
man 81 am going to take your

She wished to push back her
hair, which had fallen over her
face, but he prevented her by a
gesture.
9Remain as you are"
He seated himself on a stone
and sketched rapidly the out
line and features of his young
model. She was a peasant
but delicate and refined as the
young girls of the peasantry

The eyes were already those O

E ELOCUTION.

Yesterday forenoon, while a Detroit ius--
tice of the peace sat warming his feet by the
stove, and his nose by a cigar, a stranger
entered and presistently inquired:
Judge, how much will you charge me to,
read over about fifteen lines of printed mat
tea from q book | have?"
"Why, can't you read them ~ replied
his honor.
Il can, but | want to hear how the lines
sound when read aloud Pl give you y
quarter to read them to me.''
"All right" replied theiustice-s.I can't
earn two shilljngs any quicker"
A woman openedsthe door at that mo-
nent, and the stranger put down the book.
ON the desk, clasped her hand and said:
Begin at the pencil mark there, and read
slowly
His honor's chin dropped exactly eigh--
teen inches by dry measure as he saw that
the reading matter was the usual form OF
marriage, but he didn't back down from
his word. 1t was the-cheapest marriage he
ever attended, and he didn't hall. enjoy the
chuckle of bride and groom as they went
out.-Detroh Free Press. f

tons. This mundane sphere contains 1862

preston of figures no particular v~astness
may hereseem to be implied, but let lis an
alyze the proportions of a cubic mile and
our ideas will not only alter in this respect,
but we will stand aghast at the magnitude
of this globe, which revolves with SUCH aw-
full silence every "a hours. Imagine a chest
or box to have the length, width and depth

buildings, monuments private dwellings,

Asia. Africa and Australia, and the workyis
but begun. Take up the churches, towers
and all other structures in London, Paris,
Berlin, Hamburg, st. Petersburg, Constan-
tinople-in short, those of every city and
town in Europe. Add to that all the steam
ers and vessels on the ocean. What is the
result? Our trunk is scarce half full!
Let us now avail ourselves of the human

The man who does not furnish his fami-

does not need to read a paper, that she is as
well, if not better without one, is a man Of
purely animal proclivities, a man that
would degrade q woman to an existence,

may pass over the financial or glance light

the good citizens of and around st. Peters

moved and Mr.. Modest and Mrs. Modest.
and Mrs. Gabriel favored the happy guests
with several beautiful songs, some, in the
Crea language and others in French. Mr..
Modest then invited several couples upon
the floor, and by beating upon a tin pan and
singing at the same time, made such good
music that their feet could no longer be
quiet, and began to skip and hop, which
amusement was kept up until half past elev.
en-. when again the tables were replaced and
another feast was made to the satisfaction
OF all. Mr.. Swan stated that he had always

was sorry that he was now too poor, and

but he hoped all had enjoyed themselves.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1879.

The New York Herald recently
published an elaborate opinion of
Charles O'Connor, in which he holds
that the railways of Tennessee are l.
able as security for about s15, 900, 900
of the outstanding state bonds and
accrued interest. The Chattanooga
Times says, editorially:
"This opinion is that of the en-
ployed and paid consulting attorney
of Mr.. c. Armory Stevens, who has
already begun suits to subject the
roads to the payment of these bonds.
1t IS not saying too much to say that
Mr.. OConnor has forestalled judicial
determination, or that he has won any
branch of his lawsuit by trying it in
the newspapers. He has no objection
to big fees, and he sees a corpulent
wad of greenbacks in prospective if
his s15,OOO,OO0 case is pressed, no
matter who wins. But whether Mr..
OConor is hight or not, the bondhold-
ers will do well to think twice before
acting on his dictum, and beginning
proceedings with a view to having the
eminent lawyers plea out of court ems
bodied in degree turning the railroads
of Tennessee over to them. When
they begin raid with the purpose to
wreck our railroad system, farewell to
