grave of George Eliot"]
It may be well enough that the far
famed, quaint old Abbey does not en-.
shrine the mortal remains of the Large
Drained woman and great hearted
man" Methinks the just, the we'll
earned tame of departed greatness
should be common heritage, an un
atienable heirloom to all the sOns aud
daughters of men. Yes, she belonged
to the whole worl,i; che lies out in the
world. All! MANY will be the devoted
pilgrimages to the unOstentatious grave
in Highgate Cemetery In the memo
ry Of SO great an intellect, the massive
brain that is still in death. the English
lang guage and English literature adds but
another claim for the homage of the
world,
Over the grave of the greatest INTEL
lectual woman of proud old England no
triumphal hammered arches rise; no tat
tered. dusty ensigns from an hundred
victorious fields listlessly droop in the
quiet air; no brilliantly stained WIN
dows turn the ruddy light Of day into
dim and dusky glory no soft religious
twilight supplaDts the healthy glow OF
noon. And around it shall come No
sacerdotal splendor and stir, there no
echoing whispers shall tell of royalty
with all its empty pomp and pageantry.
But above it, yea, above it. shall un-
ceasingly unroIl all the eternal glory of
the heavens, and by it, yea. by it, shall
pass the grandly glorious procession of
the never ending seasons.
Should posterity be as devoted to her
memory and her greatness as was Arte-
misia to Mausolus, she will need no
magnificent tomb to show the world
where lies all that Is mortal of peerless
genius. who had no rival in all the an
nails of her sex of any age or cline.
Should we again wander along the
echofng aisles and beneath the fretted
roof OF the grand old Minister, all in the
midst of the great and noisy city, we
will not there look for the grave of
"George Eliot" not there, among the
tombs of earth's crowned and sceptered
Kings and Queens, but our Mecca will

TIE aRlEy ISLE OVER TIE SEA.
T. z. TAYLOR.

IT'S the calm sweet hour Of sunset,
In this land far Off from thee.
As lonely stand
On the golden strand,
That kisses the restless sea;
And the last faint streaks OF twilight
That gleam through the shadows Low,
Grow strangely bright
On the eve Of night,
With the scenes Of long age.
And bless the hour Of twilight.
As 1t comes in love again,
To carry me back
Der the mariners track
To the Green Isle o'er the main.
What to me are balmy skies
OF this fruitful land and fair.
When my brighter dreams.
Fair as the moons fair beams,
Are eternalIy centered there?
Therein the Green Isle DER the sea,
Do in the twilight roam,
And my spirits thrill,
AS they ever will,
To thoughts of the dear old homei
There in the land of noble hearts
The friends Of my boyhood dwell,
And their memories glow
From the long ago,
With halo that words can't tell.
And bright in the picture cleaning
Away through the oceans haze.
Is pure, sweet face
From whose eyes trace
The love of our early days.
I see in the look of gladness
A loox that Is not for me;
know it will last,
AS think of the past,
Till 1t sinks in eternity's sea.
Before the tolls of tomorrow
These scenes may fade from my eyes,
Still over the sea
Will I wander free,
When eve has dappled the skies,
And bless the hour Of twilight,
AS 1t comes in love to me,
To carry me back
Ger the mariners track,
To the Green Isle over the sea.

The moon will be in conjunction
with Mars on the 23d instant, thre g
days after her last quarter. The
most beautiful celestial picture of the
month takes place On the morning of
the 26th, for the waning moon will
then be near Venus, Saturn and Ju-
piter, though she passed her oon-
junction with them all on the pre-
vious day. As Venus rises on that
morning about ten minutes after 3
o'clock, Saturn ten minutes later, and
Jupiter about ten minutes after Sat-
urn. II the sky is clear it will be
safe to promise a superb planetary
show, well worth taking pains to wit

The Louisville Commercial, in com
mentiDg on wool and cotton, says:
"The st tistics published by the
Treasury Department show what an
increase there has been in theamount
of wool and also of cotton retained
for home consumption. AS to wool
it was 1909 million pounds in 1862,
in 1870 it was 209 millions, and in
1880 it had increased 10 1869 mill
lions pounds, whilst the production
has also greatly increased As to
cotton, in 1880 the amount 50 re-
served was more than one third of
the whole crop, being more than 953
million pounds. This country is an
empire in itself, and it is constantly
becoming less dependent upon o her
countries either for rtw N ,terial or
for manufactured goods"

THE NEW RAILROAD MOVEMENT

Our read rs will find in another
column some very important railroad
news, effecting the East Tenness, e..
Virginia and Georgia Railroad md
the system Of roads under her con-
troll. We had an interview with
Col, McGhee, last evening, and
learned that the work Of forming
this important syndicate has been
in progress for months, under the
full endorsement of all the princi>
pal stockholders of the above
named road. The object has nos
been a change of management, but
the infusion Of new blood, capi~
tai and enterprise, and it
will be seen that the parties
enlisted in the movement have abun
dant capital SIS well as the pluck and
determination to make this one of
the most important systems of rail-
roads in the South. Mr.. McGhee as
sures US that the arrangement will
largely increase the facilities of this
road to move the produce of East
Tennessee South, and otherwise
greatly benefit this section of
the country. He, as well as
the other principal owners of
the old stock, have parted
with portion of tn. ir stock to the
new syndicate, but Mr.. McGhee
holds the same relation to the new
he did to the old and the manage
nent will remain "a heretofore, the
only effect of the transfer bei"g the
increase of the capital AMI imports
ance of this line.

THE SENATE.
Report Of Proceedings of the Sen
ate in Extraordinary Session.

duo Ill 1AlCdOTOludIy O6SS1Ou.
WASHINGTON, May 17-Mr. Davis,
of West Virginia, after the reading of
the journal, inquired, ironically, of
Mr.. Dawes whether he was not now
ready to proceed with the consider
alton of the resolution for the cleo
ton of Senate officers.
Mr.. Dawes replied that whatever
the majority of the Senate should
decide on that resolution, he would
bow to 5. he would not be found re-
sisting tie will of The Senate itself.
The Senator from West Virginia had
become from an accidental occur
renee on the Republican side, ready
to submit to the will of the sjority,
because he believed that there was
majority on his side. He~nor Mr..
Dawes had not word to say, but
was willing to bow to the will of a
majority for him or against bin.
MIR. Davis said that he was glad
that the Senator from Massachusetts
was willing to proceed with the
pending business which he had been
so anxious to go on with during the
past month. .,-
Mr.. Dawes regretted that the
Senator was ambitious to expose the
ground on which he stood. One
would suppose that when a United
States Senator took position so
inconsistent radically with the fun~
damental principles of the governs
ment that a majority should not
rule unless the majori y should do
as he wanted, he would no.
be ambitious to uncover him-
self to the American people.
He (Mr. Dawes) would remind the
Senator that the Scriptures spoke in
not commendable terms of 1aen who
made themselves bare to the gaze of
an indignant public, exposing them~
selves and their sh me. The Sena~
tor had had no higher ground for his
Opposition to the resolution than that
he Was conscious that The result up
to yesterday would be against him,
and now he wok- up to au alarming
and new zeal for the passage of the
resolution. simply because an accl-
dental majority had yesterday morn
ing been turned upon him So far
as he (Mr Dawes) was concerned, no
motion which the Senator mi gut
make in regard to the resolution
would meet with any Opposition be-
Sond the force of his vote.
Mr.. Davis regret ed that the Sen
ator should have referred to the
Scriptures to support him. Il did
not come from he right direction.
He would like to know how long
this accidental ma jorlty was going to
Continue. The Democrats had had
is accidental majority three or
four times. He had asked, more in
pleasantry than otherwise, VIII ther
the Senator from Massachusetts, de-
sired to proceed to the consideration
of his resolution. He Davis had
no wish to force it.
Mr. Dawes moved to go into exec
utive session, and declined to yield
to Mr.. Burnside to call up his inter
oceanic canal resolution.
Mr.. Burnside thereupon said that
he would, Tomorrow, call it up and
ask the Senate to dispose of it one
way or another.
The Senate then, at IL Is, went
into executive session. -
