by EMERSON BENTLEY.

| by EMERSON BENTLEY.
The Democratic party finds no
fault with Gen. Hancock's record as a
fighting soldier during the war. The.
Republican party has so far approved
Of that record as to promote him
through various grades to be the
senior Major General of the regular
army. 1t is apparent even to the
leaders Of the Democratic party that
candidate for the Office of President
Of tho United States must possess
something more than soldiers rec
ord. Fair soldierly qualities of char
acter should he supplemented by
some evidence of knowledge of states
mansbip. Hence it is that the friends
Of Gen. Hancock have chosen to sub
nit to the country as such evidence,
his attempt, covering a period of a
few months, to restore tranquility in
the Department of the Gulf. On this
solitary part Of his whole career of
over fifty years of service, depends,
as bis friends say, all his pretensions
to fitness as civil executive. 1t is
in order, therefore, to examine that
record closely and to judge it upon its
merits.
The Congress of the United States
is the representative of the people Of
the country, who ordained and estab-
lished its constitution.
From it must emanate all PROPOSE
ton for amendment. Its functions
arc supreme, both in peace and war.
It may prefer articles, try them, and
if sustained, impeach and remove a
President from Office. 1t may declare
war or ratify treaty Of peace. With
all these powers in its possession it
would seem frivolous to contend that
Congress did not have full power to
prescribe and approve the conditions
by which civil government should be
restored over large tract Of country
recently trayersed by the national
armies. Congress assumed those pow
ers, in any event, aud no test case had
placed in question their constitution
ality, when i'll 1867 it passed laws
known as the reconstruction acts,
which subordinated all existing civil
administration in the late Confeder-
ate States to the military authority.
Previous to the passage Of these acts,
a few white citizens, by conseLt or
without interference of military com.
mauders. presumed to ignore their

For the CHIEF.
TILE MOTHERS LAMENT.
q count my few poor treasures sadly Ger,
A broken toy, Of half-worn shoes a pair,
Some dainty dresses which they'll wear no
Three little locks Of shining golden hair
And when the dreary day creeps slowly by,
Filling with crimson glory all the West,
My empty arms yearn for my babes, who lie
Blue-eyed and golden-haired, ut rest.
The dark and silent rooms seem strangely
still
Without the patter Of those dimpled feet,
And loving memory recalls at will
The ecLoing music Of their voices sweet.
And faith is crushed beneath weight Of
Woe,
God seems so far, far off wonder, can he
They we're so very bright and fair to see,
Filled with such dimpling baby charms,
The host Of bright-winged angels envied me,
And lnred my little children from my arms.
I pray that when, life's weary journey DER,
Forever freed from earthly care and pain,
Gladly seek the many mansioned shore,
I'll meet my loved, lost baby boys again.

fIED-On the 9th of august, 1880, EuG.NE Presto
BENTLEY, third and only child Of Linden E. BentIe
and Ella a. Donnaud.
Meath the ced;,r's spreading branches
We have laid our babe to rest,
With the flowers sweetly blooming
Ger his darling little breast.
Oh, it's hard indeed to part
With the all that we had left,
Stabbed once more the mothers heart,
Of its treasure now berett.
But our cherished one is sleeping
Calmly as the wayeless sea,
And the ivy mild is creeping
Der his grave unchecked and free.
And at night when shine the metcors
Casting gorgeous radiance round,
Will their holy, brilliant lustre
illuminate this lonely mound.
And the angels pure from heaven
Nightly will their vigils keep,
Guarding sacredly the loved spot
Where our little chcrub sleeps.
Slumber on, dear, worshipped baby,
Symbol Of our loves chaste tie,
Though We grieye for, though we mourn
you,
Twas Gods will that you should die.
Unto Thee, 0, righteous Father,
Yield We now our little pet,
To thy fond and tender keeping,
But It's not without regret.
Yet our faith remains mistaken
In thy true and constant loye,
And the baby from US taken
We shall claim again above.

Monarchs Of the Forest.

The Calaver as grove of giant trees is
the most motherly yet discovered and the
one best known. It is situated on the
Stockton and Calaveras trail to the Yose-
mite, and is distant 164 miles from San
Francisco. The number Of trees Of larger
size is not far from 100, with many
smaller ones on the outskirts. Most of
these have been named, and tables have
been published giving the exact height
and dimensions Of each. Here are at least
twenty-five trees above $50 feetin height,
and thirty trees over $50 feet in height.
The four highest trees in the grove, and
perhaps on The American continent, are
the Keystone State, "Gen. Jackson, :"
"Mother of the Forest" and "Daniel
Webster" The height of the frst-named
is 325 feet; of the second, 319 feet; of the
third 3l5 feet; and Of the fourth, 307
feet. A column might be filed with o

The Young Napoleon,s Death.

Brigadier General Sir Evelyn Wood, who ac-
companied Empress Eugcnie..to Zululand, has
sent papers descriptive Of the death of the
Prince Imperial, collected from independent
narratives Of eighteen of the Zrlus who partici-
pated in the attack on the princes party, and
showing that the attacking party numbered
forty, twelve Of whom followed the prince,
eight being Immediately concerned in his DEATH
The Zulus having nearly surrounded the princes
party, fired and rushed Oh them as they were
mounting. The prince not having succeeded in
mounting, ran alongside his horse into donga,
until, being closely pressed by his pursucrs, he
turned on them, in the words of the Zulus,
s'ike a lion at bay" Being struck by an assegai
inside the left shoulder, he rushed at the near
est opponent, who fed. Another Zrlus then
fired at the prince: when only ten yards from
him. The prince fred his pistol and faced the
rapidly increasing foe, until, mcnaced from his
right and rear, and strnck by another assegai,
he regained the level on which he had first
stood in the donga, where he was speedily sur
rounded. He seized an assegai which had been
thrown at him Gin struggling with his terrified
horse his sword had fallen from it's scabbard)
and thus defended himself against seven or
eight Zulus, who state that they did not dare
close in on him until he sank exhausted on his
hips. The above facts were elected from the
Zulus who were examined separately on the
scene of the attack =
