DkAtHs or RICHARD Henry DANA, SR,, AND
GES. GKoRGE CADwALADER
The first of the present week brought us
the tidings OF the death of two more Of the
distinguished great men Of the nation-two
men, in two different spheres, whose life
work, now finished, has entered largely
into the history of the first century Of the
United States.
Richard Henry Dana, Sr., distinguished
Ns a man Of learning and rs a poet and es-
sayist, died in Boston, on Sunday last, at
the venerable age Of ninety-two. His fam
lily has been closely allied to the history Of
the State Of Massachusetts,. His father was
Francis Dana, who was s,lccessively Minis
ter TO Russia member OF Congress and Chief
Justice of Massachusetts,.
He was bora at Cambridge NOV. Is, 7S7,
aud graduated AZ Harvard University in the
class of 1903. He studied law in Boston
and Afterwards in the office OF Robert Good
loe Harper, Of Baltimore, and was admitted
TO The Massachusetts, bar in 1911. His
tastes being literary and his health not ro-
bust, he abandoned the profession of the law
and tOek a position on the editorial staff Of
tire "North American Review" of which
his cousin, Prof VIM. r. Charming, was
chief editor and manager. At this period
Ills pen was never idle; he was n favoritc
contributor 10 the leading periodicals of the
Iay, and signally distinguished himself as
the author Of review of Hazltts lecture
on the British Poets. AS critic he was
just but fearless, ignoring the conservative
landmarks which were founded in preju-
dices of the age. 1t was said of him, he was
one of the first to oppose the despotic sway
Of the great Jeffrey, who then ruled the
Republic Of Letters with a "rod of iron." In
1920 he ceased his connection with the Re
Cieto, and the following year began thu pub
lcation of the Idle Man, in which though
assisted by his friends, Washington Allston
and VIM. Cullen Bryant, the venture was
failure and soon abandoned. In 1921, he
contributed TO the "New York Review"
edited by Mr.. Bryant, his first pocms,-
"The Dying Raven" and "Thc Husband
and Wife's Grave" From the latter we
give two extracts TO show the depth of
thought into which the poets mind fingered
and as now being solemnly suggestive:
"a stiffness deep,
Iusensihle, unheedlng, splds you round,
And darkness, as stone, has sealed youln
Away from all the livtag, here ye rest,
In all the nearness of he narrow tomb,
Yet feel ye not each others presence now,
Dread fellowship l---together yet alone.

'Careening to the wind, they reach,
With laugh and call, the shore.
They've left their footprint on the beach
Nnl Ihnm | hear M mnrn.N


But them hear no more,"
In 1927 hc published his most celebrated
production, "The Buccaneers" and in 1888
he gave to the world an edition of his poems
and prose writings, including all of his best
productions up to that time, and again in
1850 he issued his "Poems ard Prose writ
ings," vols, to which was added to the
former publication, his reviews and later
productions, being a complete collection
with the exception of series of eight
lectures on Shakespeare, delivered in Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia, in 1910.
In the controversy between the Unitarian
and Trinitarian Congrcgationalists of Mass
achusetts in 1855, Mr.. Dana took an ac-
tive part with the latter. In later years, he
joined the Episcopal church. As writer
he was careful and pains taking. His pro
ductions show accuracy of observation, q
wide and genuine sympathy, an insight in
To the secret heart of things,a fancy to paint
and an Imagination to warm and enliven
an ear for the music of language, and a
mind all aglow with the fire of thought.

From HauIburton,s.

The people of our county and
vicinity are in the habit of reading
the writings of Huser Hause very
often in the CHRONICLE; they will
doubtless be disappointed this week,
as Isuppose hewill be silent. There
fore allow me to fill his place in
your paper this one time.
I came into this State and county
some years ago. / left my native
State and the home and cherished
scenes of my childhood, which were
endeared to my heart by the tender
est ties; l bid adieu to many loved
ones and to all former associations,
which caused MY heart many pangs.
/ came here stranger, and in an
assembled crowd of unknown faces
/ met with and made the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. $. B. Nichols, who then
had the appearance of being quite
bashful youth, YET since then j have
ever watched his courteous man
ners, his upright walk and benevo-
lent acts.
Mr.. Nichols wandered far away
from home, in company with DIR.
B. F. Moody and S. T. Halliburton,
and at the residence of the BRIDES
mother was married to Miss Fannie
Gotham, of Perry county, Tenn, on
the 25th of May, 1879. As Mr..
Nichols approached the residence of
the bride, his heart, no doubt, was
filled with excited hopes and joyous
anticipations Of the happiness to
come. He then took upon himself
those vows that death alone can
dissolve. All passed off in mirth
and happiness for awhile; then
there came about a feeling of sad
ness, mingled with that of happi-
ness, for when he was about to lead |
his fair bride from her loved parent |
there was in his mind a sober, earn
est thought of the new duties and
awaiting him and |
it may be that it was more affecting |
when the last kiss was exchanged,
The last fond word spoken, the last
olasp of the hand given, and then
the household band was broken and
she went forth to give light and
beauty to another home and babe "A
Fond and grateful adieu to the life
that is past. May he and his fair
bride ever be happy; may the path
way of theig future lives be strewn
with flowery embIems of peace and
owe. MATTE.

GENERAL CHALMERS AT FORT
PILLOW.

A week or two ago Mr.. Garfield
revived in Congress some of the old
exaggerations and misrepresenta-
tions about the capture of Fort Pill
low, for the purpose of dealing
side blow at Gen. Chalmers, of Mis-
sissippi, who was present at that
transaction. Gen. Chalmers an
swered in just Indignation from his
place in the House protesting against
the renewal of old calumnies at
place and time when a systematic
refutatiOn of them was impossible,
and, on the spur of the moment,
offered a resolution for the appoint
ment Of commission to enquire
into all the circumstances Of the
affair at Fort Pillow. air. Garfield
was able to show that this WoNld be
contrary TO parliamentary usage, as
the only circumstances under which
an investigation of such a character
can be demanded as a privileged
question are where a members con-
duct is impugned for what he has
done as q member Of Congress. We
believe the friends of both parties
are agreed on this point and that
Gen, Chalmers himself admitted the
relevancy of it. However, he placed
the notice of his motion upon file
with the privilege of calling it up
on fitting opportunity. Mr.. Gar
field, on the other hand, reserved
all points of order for discussion
whenever the motion might be
brought up.
On the 7th inst. the General called
up his motion admitting the argu-
ments against such a commission,
which had been urged upon him by
members on both sides of the House,
and even its inexpediency as calcu-
lated "to rekindle the flames of
passion and prejudice, which all
good men certainly desire to see
covered in their own ashes" He,
however, availed himself of the OPP

An Hour with Prof. RIchardson.

The final benedietion OF the District Con-
ference having been pronounced, Prof Rich
ardson and had an hour or two of leisure
to spend together In a loose and easy way,
talking about things in general. To one who
loves the conFanionship of sound and true
men, It is a privilege to be associated with
this Christian gentleman. His personal ap-
pearance Is that of physically frail man,
but in principle he has a backbone of the
most solid metal. He is as gold tried In the
fire, in which no dross remains. No man
contemns more than he docs that species OF
strategic shoddiness that aspires TO univer-
sal favor. On the high plane OF Christian
manliness he may always be found, and no.
where else. The interests of the church oc-
cupy large share OF his thoughts, hut the
matter Of ohief concern with him at pres
ent Is, the financial dereietion Of its mem-
hers.
ON this subject many are afraid OF the
practical working of their own theories, but
he is not lie finds divine ordinance I'm
the Scriptures, that they who preach the
gospel should live Of the gospel, which he
thinks is as authoritative as any other com
mand. He does not think that the church
has any more right TO license It's members
to ignore this ordinance of God than il has
10 excuse them from the requirements ON
the subject OF drunkenness, revelry, and un.
aleanness in general. Hence he believes
that iReOTr5gf5le financial delinquents, those
who contribute nothing to carry forward tic
Interests Of the church, forfeit their claims
to church membership.
These wilful delinquents are getting to be
quite a weight upon the shoulders of good
men, and are stumbling-bloclzs in the way
OF many outside OF the church, who are re-
ally better than they are. They defy the ef-
forts that ore being made to induce them 10
fall into line. treat with contempt every n
nancial "planp that may he introduced,
and virtually declare that they intend to
stay in the church and do just as they please.
What Is TO be done with them Is the prob
lem which Richardson is now solving. Ma
ny are Of the opinion that the present law
of the Church can reach theTns aa IL does
other offenders, and that they should no
brought 10 terms, or be cut of, while others
think IL best to use nilder measures. Ger.
tain II is, that these stubborn repudiataEs of
their most solemn obligations are attfactlng
a Flionis shaFen OF the attention Of the
church, and may be kopszed ere long for
aught know. A, T. GOODLOE.

Glory is the soldiers pride:
The soldiers wealth is honor.
In the above description it will be
seen that the General is precluded
by rule of order from going into
the general subject of the affair at
Fort Pillow, as the nature of the
case confined him to a statement of
the events as they bore upon his
conduct. 1t is evident that he
would have preferred vindication
of his commander, Gen. Forrest,
which, we doubt not, he is well
competent to make. We trust that
an opportunity may yet offer for
him to do so, for there is no man
living who is so well informed in
the matter, and very few who would
be able to perform the work in
language as perspicuous and elo-
quent.
But little need be said Of the dis |
cussion which followed this state
ment. Mr.. Garfield in his reply |
his opinion that sit was
question Of very great doubt as a
matter of propriety whether we
should undertake by a committee
of Congress to rewrite any consid-
erable portion Of the history Of our
war; and that if we did undertake
it in that way, perhaps there was
no chapter that would beso difficult
and SO painful to attempt to recon-
struct as the chapter that contained
the history of the Fort Pillow mas
sacre." Asserting to every word
Of this, except the one word "mas-
'acre" as applied to the assault, we
must add to it that the admitted
ncompetency of Congress to enter
upon a course of historical criticism
ought to have long ago silenced the
'requent illusions to the matter by
which a certain class of members
lelight to irritate and harrass South
9rn members. How incompetent
Congress Is to deal with such ques-
ions in an impartial and dispassion-
tie manner may be well inferred
rom the gusto with which Mr.. Bur
ows, of Michigan, afterwardsdwelt
lpon the obsolete scandals.

ment of his own action in the affair
which is of considerable historical
interest and which we propose to
lay before our readers.
The basis oi all the charges against
the Confederate officers in this mat
ter is a report made by the late Mr..
Wade in the Senate after the war
was over. The General mentions
that the worst of these allegations
refer to the day after the assault on
Fort Pillow, at which time he was
not present. and can therefore have
no personal knowledge of them,
and he avOws that he never heard
of them till the war was over. He
also mentions that "a number of
witnesses who were examined state
that they did not see the outrages
charged and never heard of them
until they were at Mound City, Illi-
nois." The rest of his statement
must be given in his own graphic
which can be neither con-
densed nor modified without loss.

Gen StOneman on Cor. Fremont Colo
 rado Desert Scheme.


 Gen. Geo. Stoneman continues to take a lively interest in Arizona af fairs. This is right. It shows the General has not forgotten the famous boost Arizona gave him just prior to his retirement to the peaceful orange groves from his warriors life and his arduOus Indian campaigns. Arizona ought not to forget General 5. and THE CITIZEN will not. Following is a part of the Generals late lecture in Los Angeles;
 Much has been said of late regard ing great geological basin, lying be. tween the coast range of mountains in i.CalifOrnia and the Colorado river on the east This basin is represented as being three hundred miles long, fifty miles wide and three hundred feet deep-about the size of Lake Erie. We are told that Gov. Fremont, of Arizona, has just returned from Wash ington, where he has been for the pur- pose of inducing Congress to lend the aid of the Treasury to enable some one to fill this basin with water The Governor has been, during his check. cred life, engaged in some grand and conspicuous enterprises, but in thls case he has evidently laid his plans before consulting his figures. Let us make the calculation for him. To fill such pond in one year, supposing the bottom to be water-tight and evap- oration entirely checked, would re- quire small stream twenty miles wide, twenty feet deep, with current of three miles an hour. To fill such a lake by a stream cue thousand feet wide, ten feet deep, and running at the rate of three miles an hour, would take two hundred years. After this lake was filled it would require a river two hundred and fifty feet wide, ten feet deep, and running at the rate of five miles per hOur-about the size of the Colorado river at ordinary stages to compensate for evaporation at the rate of eighteen inches per year. Ar chimedes. you know, said that he could move the world, only give him a fulcrum. Fremont says he can make sea, only give him plenty of green backs. The one is about as impracti- cable as the other is chimerical. When he makes his estimates he will come to the conclusion that long ere he can lfll his basin with water, the great En- gineer of the universe will have filled ! it with the sands of the desert, driven down by the ever-prevailing winds of the north. Tn the meantime it will probably be used for the purposes in tended by the Almighty-the occupa- ton bv the horned toad, rattlesnake and Southern Pacific Railroad

Mason and Drew, farmers on the San Pedro, have had troubles about the use of water, and the former was put under bonds to keep the peace in connection with their original diff culty. About a week ago today, as we are informed, the trouble broke out anew. in which Mason fired at and nearly hit Drew and Drew got in a lick on his opponent with q shovel, doing some damage. There was some further hostile demonstrations on the part of Mason, which resulted in his arrest and trial at Tombstone, with the privilege of giving bond for $7OO to keep the peace or be imprisoned. Not being able to give the bail, he was brought to Tucson, where he now is, in charge of Deputy Sheriff.

Patagonia.

D. B. Gillette, J W. Davis and Oth- CTS are just in from Hershaw District, in the Patagonia Mountains. Mir. $. brought in large samples of ore from the Hardshell and Hermosa which in dicate that they are from bonanzas for certain. The ore comes from veins so large that their shafts and cuts do not touch walls. Horn silver is plenti- fully spread over some of the ore, and il all runs from Sl00 per ton and up wards. This fact, with the abundance of wood and water on the ground for steam works, is enough to justify large expectations from those mines.

New AGD Of Arizona.

By authority of General Wilcox and under the direction of Engineer officer Lieut.. Fred. A. Smith, a new map of Arizona has been prepared amp just published. THE CITIZEN is in receipt of a copy. It is projected on a scale of eighteen miles to the inch and is nearer complete in details than any previous map by civil or military authority. Each years sur veys and explorations furnish addition al facts, and this map embraces the latest and fullest obtainable. It is a good map for the immigrant hilher, whether wanted for direction to graz ing, agricultural, mining or timber districts. We are not advised as to how or from whom copies can be Ob- tained, but presume all application to Department Headquarters would eith- CT be answered by the sending of one or the information how to obtain one.

From Messrs.

This brick was made Wednesday, and a couple more were to be made today. As before said, the mill and every thing about it works to a charm. So fur the lowest grade third class ot ore has been milled.
 It is a matter of genuine congratu- lation that everything connected with the Tombstone Company has been an uninterrupted success from the begin ming of the enterprise, and that every expectation of the company has been fully met or made certain that it will be- The admirable working of the mIll and the yield of the low grade ore are sure guarantees of large future results. The company is close cor pora,ion, and but very few have any Of its stock and none is for sale.
