The vicksburg Herald, OF No
vember the 10th, pays the we'll de-
served tribute to Senator Lamar:
"The prominent figure In Missis-
sippi politics, in Southern politics,
in national politics, is L. @. @. La
mar. Never from the time be took
the stump in this State was there
o doubt Of the result. When he
proclaimed that Lowry might not
be tor Lamar, but Lamar is for
Lowry, there was not the shadow
OF a doubt as to how the campaign
would terminate. He made the
most glorious canvass of tbs State
since the days Of Sergeant 8. Prem
tiss. JEFF. Davis aHd Foote never
made u stump speech to surpass
those made by Lamar during this
campaign, and those Of Prentiss
can lose nothing by being placed
on an equality with some Of Mr..
Lamar's best efforts. And the Of
feet was irresistible. The leaders
of men we're Influenced and, con-
vinced BY his knowledge, his pow
erful logic, and his stalwart ora

NO TINE FOR HATING.

Bsgone with fsud, away with strife.
Our human hearts unmating,
Let Us be friends again The life
Is all too short for hating
So dali the day, 90 dim the way.
So rough the road we're faring,
Far better veal with faithful friend
Than stalk along uncaring.
The barren 6g. the withered vine,
Ali types of selfish living;
But souls that give, like thine and mine,
Renew their life by giving.
While cypress waves Ger early graves
On all the way we're going,
Far better plant where food is scant,
Than tread on food that's growing.
Away with seorn, since die We must,
And rest on one low pillow;
There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp DER broken roses.
OF what are oil the joys we hold
Compared to joys above usi
And what are rank aud power and gold
Compared to hearts that love usf
So feet our years, so full Of tesrs,
So closely death is waiting;
God gives us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.

Correspondents Of = Congress-
man.

N4z4ls
Aberdeen Examiner.
In a communication to O friend,
which is given to the press, Senator
George shows how difIicult it is for
q public man to answer all Of the
letters he receives. An idea oftbe
extent Of the labor may be obtained,
when we quote Gen. George as hav.
ing received 200 letters and postal
cards from constituents in the
course of two weeks. To answer
these letters would keep two good
secretaries busy during the twelve
working days In the two weeks re-
ferred to, and require them to write
2S lettes apiece, each day, . task
that few men are equal to II the
correspondence merely involved the
reading aud answering Of letters;
but when we take into consideration
the fact that eight out OF ten OF those
communications reqsirc research
among the government archives,
or communication with some de-
partment or bureau, it can be read.
lis seen that four secretaries Of
large experience in public affairs
could not begin to keep up with the
work.
Then comes the matter Of station
cry and postage: Not one man in
| twenty who writes to bis senator or
representative thinks OF enclosing
Q stamp to pay postage on the
reply, and IL Gen. George had an
swered all of those letters IL Is like
| " that this item alone would have
cost him In two weeks e2l, or ut the
rato Of 1546, per anuum, more than
| ten per cent. of his salary.
Parties writing to their con
gressmen are too apt to thiuk their
letters are the only ones reaching
him, yet there are men In congress
who receive ou an average nearly o
hundred letters a day,l and must
necessarily restrict themselves to
answering only those Of great i'm
portance unless able to employ
several expert secretaries who are
at the same time experienced
Bureau men, and such persons. can
seldom be obtained at less salaries
than el0O per month, and are even
then rarely capable Of managing a
general correspondence without the
constant personal supervision Of
dictation OF their employers.
Many wealthy representatives
and senators spend IN amount an
nually in maintaining correspond
ence, fully equal to tho salaries
they receive.

ELDAD MINKINS.
BY MAC DUFF.

A nice man was Eldad Minkins.
he owned o "forty' near the village
of Slaunchville, and had once, many
years ago, held the honorable and
lucrative Office of town constable.
His family consisted of frowsy.
headed wife and two tow-headed,
saucy, unruly boys. How Eldad
made . living was q profound my.
stery to the rursl inhabitants OF
Slaunchville, as he was never known
TO do q days work IN his life, yet be
was always iu continual fret about
having to work 30 hard.
1t was a fiuc morning In June,
aud Eldad sat astride Of dilapi
dated fence that enclosed the "pas.
tcr.n His bristly red hair stood In
every direction, and his unshaven
face looked like q scraggy growth
Of hazel brush on hillside. His
nose, red,ler, If possible than his
hair, stood ut OH an lie Of forty-6ve,
and looked like q sentinel guarding
the capacious orifice beneath.
He was shaving up Q small piece
Of plug Tobacco for q smoke, when q
white headed, ragged boy came
saunteriug down the path, and said:
"Dad, ma wants some w00d.'
Eldad turned slowly around Wig
orously rubbing the tobacco In the
palm Of his hand, and answered:
"Well, 20 and split another board
oif'n the wood. house. It beats all
how much that woman does burn.1
The boy went back up the path
| and chased a calf through the gar.
den. Eldad stood leaning against
the fence aud smoked the pipe Of
peace.
Pretty soon he looked up at the
sun aud concluding that it must be
about breakfast time he saunterod
up the path to the house. He en-
tered, and seeing no sign of the de-
| sired meal he called out
"Mariah, why in thunder ain'i
break fast readyi Pm blamed neal
starved.o
"Well, just because there ain'l
nothin In the house to eat; Ltold
you so last night"
"Why don't you pick up some
thing, thenr rejoined Eldad
"Where's the corn meal l got las
week I'd like to know"
ssThat corn meal was eat up three
days ago, aud you know it. Pvt

, ri tell you what, Eldad Milkins
you'll Jest 90 and git something b
eat before you git q mouthful to ca
to-day"
Thus relieved Mrs. Minkins 50
down and folded her dirty hand
. complacently.
Eidad called the oldest boy an
SAINT him over to ncighbor Etebbin
to borrow some feur.
J Then Mrs. Minkins broke ont wit

and blood flew in the air, likewise

Then it qnieted down a little, and
the old man implored him to let him
up, stop choking and take his teeth
from that ear. "What do you think
about my warming your boy 2"
asked the teacher. 81 think you did
just right, and when l 60 home I'll

JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD,
Born Nov. q, 1881,
Died,
President of the United States,
Sept. 19, 1881"


The coffin was lined with white
satin. Across the top and crossing
each other were two long leaves OF
palmary. The face and shoulders
were visible, and one needed to know
that all that remained of James A.
Garfield lay there. To recall the
features SO familiar during life and
the face to those who knew General
Garfield only from portraits could
not have been recognized; even the
features were no longer there.
There was an expression about the
lower lip which those who knew
him best would recognize. The
cheeks were gone, the brow had lost
its massive appearance which char
acterized it in life. The involuntary
whispered remark of all as they
gazed upon the loved form with a
shudder was, 81 never should have
recognized him." "Hew he must
have suffered" The shrunken earth
ly form told how much he suffered.

The late president is laid out in the
suit of clothes which he wore on
Inauguration day. His left hand is
laid across his breast after the man.
ner he had in life. This was done
in order to make his resemblance as
near to life as possible. The body
is so greatly shrunken that artificial
means had to be resorted to to give
the clothes the appearance Of fitting.
In addition to natural shrinking from
his illness the operation connected
with the autopsy has left the body
in an even more emaciated state.
A PLASTER CAST
was taken of his face yesterday as
well as of his right hand. In taking
the cast of his hand it was somewhat
discolored, but his hand will not be
seen. The affect of the oil used on
the face previous to taking the cast
disfgured the features somewhat
and slightly altered the color of the
face, SO that the late presidents sp-
pearance is very much less natural
even than it was just after death.
THE BURIAL CASKET.
A number of journalists who have
been so closely watching the presi-
dents case all these weeks were
given an opportunity to first view
the body. The sentries stood at
either side of the entrance. The
coffin lays in the hallway of the low
er floor with q soldier at the head
and foot of it. The coffin was black
with silver handles, black rods ran
along the side, and upon the top was
q silver plate with the following
inscription:
