Denth of wn,. LIoud Gnrrison.

William Lloyd Garrison died at III O'Clock
May "a, at the Westmoreiand Apartment
House, where he has been lying in critical
condition tor the last week. Only the inn
mediate members of the family, consisting
of four sons and daughter, were present
around his death bed. They we're Wendell
Phillips Garrison, of the Nation, George f.
Garrison, William Lloyd, Jr., Francis j..
Garrison, and Mrs. Henry Willard, in whose
apartments he died. The cause of death was
nervous prostratiOn, consequent upon paral-
ysis of the bladder and kidney trouble of
long standing, substantially the same NAL
adv as that which recently terminated the
life of Gen. Dix. Mr.. Garrison has been
giving way for months, and was ordered by
his physicians to take complete rest. When
the negro migration scheme began to attract
attention, and reports of extreme suffering
among the emigrants were circulated, Mr..
Garrison's active interest in the race to which
he had devoted his ripest intellectual efforts
was awakened anew. The letter read at the
reeeut meeting at Cooper Institute was thus
his last manifesto and mental effort. His
little remaining strength broke down under
the strain, and he was compelled to abandon
his participation in the movement.
About three weeks ago, in the hope that
his physiciyn here might find some remedy
to alleviate his suffe1ings, Mr. Garrison came
to New York. He went riding int park
twice after his arrival, but his condition was
so feeble the effort seemed to PROSTATE ratLsr
than strengthen his failing powers. Nv,
weeks ago he was down stairs for the last
time. A painful crisis supervened, and he
was removed TO Mrs. Wizards apartments,
which be has not left since. Unable to lie
down, he was obliged to sit propped ap with
pillows, resting his feet upon divsn at the
bedside. Few knew the veteran agitator
was in the city until two weeks ago, when
the news of the crisis just mentioned crept
into the daily papers. The paragraph wor-
ried him exceedingly, and as he rallied from
the first acute attack in a day or two his
friends declined to give any certain inforna
ton. Last Thursday a relapse came, and
Mr.. Garrison vas again Frustrated. On the
third day after the relapse Mr.. Garrison
abandoned all expectation of favorable turn
in the disease, and summoned his friends
and family t. the bedside to receive his last
wishes. His mind remained clear until Fri
day night. when he became unconscious, and
was not expected 70 live until morning. In
this state he lay until IL O'Clock Saturday
night and breathed his last.

Who Owns the Land in ENGLAND.

More than half the soil of tire United
Kingdom Is nominaIly owned by some
1000 persons. According to a valuable
ANALYSIS of the very ill-arranged and IN
complete Parliamentary return Of the
landowners Of the United Kingdom, pub
lished in the Financial Reform AlBsaRdc
for 1873, 42i persons are the owners Of
-. $50. 755 acres. or nearly 100000 acres
more than one-fourth of the total area Of
the United Kingdom. The mind Is I'M
able tn grasp what such a monopoly costs
the country, but certain features OF it
stand forth with a prominence sufficiently
notable. In a most absolute sense, the

some g. 600, 900 souls is placed IN the

The Art of Going Away.

1t has been said that one of the most
import social accomplishments is that of
entering room gracefully, but to our
mind that of leaving one easily and
iudiciously is to be preferred 1t lis pain
full TO see people anxious to beat retreat
from call or visit, and yet apparently
as unable to escape as rats in trap, al
though nothing bars their egress, and all
the persons concerned would gladly dis.
pense with their company. The art of
science of departure. both from localities
and positions, is worth studying in great
as well as little matters To under
stand when to bring to an end morning
call or a public career requires, in a lesser
or greater degree, the exercise Of the same
faculty. No visitor IS likely to he popu-
lar who has not the tact to leave at the
proper time house at which he may he
staying. One of the greatest difficulties
in bidding farewell to a host is to convey
To him the impression that you have en-
ioyed yourself. Expressions of thanks
for pleasant visit are apt to have a
stereotyped and conventional ring about
them. A hospitable man likes to know
that his friends have been happy; but
when each of them mutters a sort of little
grace on his departure, he feels that they
are but paying him an ordinary social
compliment.

OLD CHURCH BELLS.

Ring out merrily.
Loudly, cheerily,
bhthe Old bells from the stccplc tower;
Hopefully feariully
Joyfully, tearfully,
Moveth the bride from her maiden bower.
Cloud there is none in the bright summer sky;
Sunshine filings benisous down from on high:
Children sing loud as the train m owes along,
"Happy the bride that the sun shineth on"
Knell out drearily.
Measure out wearly,
Sad old bells, from the steeple cray;
Priests chanting lUwly,
Soemny, slowly,
Passeth the corpse from the portals to-day.
Drops from the laden clouds heavily fall
Dripping over the plume and the pail;
Murmur old folks, as the train moves along,
Happy the dead that the ain raineth on.
Toll at the hour Of prime
Matiu and yesper chime,
Loved old bells from the steeple high
Rolling, like holy waves,
over the lowly graves,
Floating up, prayer-frought into the sky
Solemn the lesson your ligh,.st notes teach;
Stern is the preaching your iron Tongues
preach;
Ringing in life from the bud to the bloom,
Ringing the dead to their rest in the tomb
Peal out eyeTmure--
Peal rs We pcalcd al wore,
Brave old bells on each Sabbath day;
In sunshine and gladness,
Through clouds and through sad
ness
Bridal and burial have both passed away.
Tell us life's pleasures with death are still riff,
Tell us that death ever leadeth to life
Life is our labor, and death is our rest
II happy the living, the dead are bcst

Children are Crying for Them, and the
Printing Presses Can't More Fast Enough
to supply tie Demand.
Washington Special
Hardly five minutes during business hours
pass that the treasurer does not receive a
telegram from some depository asking for a
urther shipment of 4 per cent. certificates.
There are now between five hundred and six
undred designated repositories. This list
is being added TO at the rate of twenty five or
thirty day. II is impossible to keep them
all supplied. The deliveries of certificates
to the treasurer from the bureau of engray-
ing and printing to- day were $l,040,000, the
largest yet. This would have done very well
ten days ago, when there were not SO many
repositories, but it will go round in
very small quantities. 1t might be
said that the country, especially the
banks are crying for certificates. The total
amount that will be sold is $l0,000,0 900. Al
ready %l4 100000 have been taken. If the bu-
reau of engraving and printing delivers $780,
600, 600 by the 1st of June, as it expects to,
the associated banks, who are to have all
left after the 18th of June, will not get dol
lars worth. No plan can be pursued by
which the bankers, brokers and spectators
can be kept at a distance They continue to
buy the certificates III large quantities wher
ever they are sold. They keep up their plan
OF hiring men to buy for them There are
three known instances where the operatives
have come to grief One is in Baltimore,
and two in this city. In Baltimore, yestar-
day, broker who had hired 4 colored man
to buy certificates for HIM saw his employe
get the 800 and vanish. Yesterday, at the
treasury, Spectator had four men at work.
They went the rounds two or three
times. Then two or three decamped with
500 each. The Spectator was watching
the two others who did not decamp. At the
postoilice, yesterday, colored man left sud
denly with 800 belonging to a Colorado
broker who hes entered into the business of
buying certificates here. The allotment for
sale at TIE treasury was $50, 600. 1t was all
disposed of before 2 O'Clock. There was
perfect jam and crush during the three
hours that the sale was progressing, the line
of buyers extending half way out to the ave
nue.. 1t is suspected that some Of the banks
are going farther than merely hiring men to
buy for them. number of cross road
pOstmasters have bonded for large amounts
of certificates They are in all localities
where they would not be likely TO sell $1,000
of them in six months. 1t is thought banks
or other spectators have induced them to
become repositories for the purpose of buy
ing them out as fast as they can receive
shipments.
