Affecttonately inscribed to Mr.. and Mrs
E. B. Fairfax, on the death of their littl,
daughter-Annie. 1t was great relief to SEE
dear, sweet little sufferer fall asleep
and what a comfort for the parents to know
She is now at rest. Your treasure is no
lost; you may go to her; she cannot come t.
She was too gentle for earth's trials,
Too pure for earth's deceit;
We have lain her meath the flowers,
Fair garlands at her feet.
A little while she blessed us
With her sweet and winning smile,
A few short months she loved us
Then left this world of guile.
Our dreams are all about her,
By day she's in each thought,
And We'll always love the lesson
Her transient stay has taught.
Watch about us, ''baby Annie"
With you y e now heavenly bright
Far above earth's stormy visions,
Ger hearts. so lone tonight.
But the shadow is upon us,
The tears forever stay,
Since our darling's gone before us
To that land of endless day.
For we miss baby's tiny footsteps,
So cheering through our day.
Oh! darling "baby Annie !"
You have flown so far away.
A touch of those loving little fingers
Would soothe h mothers pain,
Who signs in worthless agony
For that dear pressure once again.
But when earth's dreams are DER,
And she reaches that realm of love,
She will understand this aching loss
United with her angel child above.

Discovery of the Remains of 4. w.
GOSSe1I.

On Saturday afternoon last, news
reached the city that the remains
of Mr.. G. w. Gossett, who it will
be remembered, fell from the steam
er G. w. Anderson while returning
from Nashville, on the8th, of March
last and was drowned, had been dis
covered at w. B. Cross & Co.'S saw
mill, just above Seven-mile ferry on
the Cumberland River. On inves-
tigatiOn the rumor proved true. Mr..
Lever, the log tender at the mill,
while removing logs from the river,
saw something unusual floating
along down the river, which, upon
an examination turned out to be
the body of a man in a very adj
vanced stage of decomposition. He
managed to tow it to shore, and i'm
mediately sent for coroner Rawls, of
this city, who proceeded to hold an
inquest. The body was in a very
bad stage of decomposition, the face
being completely unacceptable,
but from the clothing, papers, watch
and a sum of money amounting to
S10S 40, served to identify the body
as that of Mr.. Gossett beyond any
doubt. 1t was thought by many at
the time OF his drowning that, per-
haps he had met with foul play be-
ing first murdered and robbed and
then thrown overheard, but this
discovery of his remains with his
watch and money still in his cloth
ing and no evidence of violence up
on his body fully rebutts any such
presumption. He must have acct
IDENTIFY stepped overheard from the
boat, it being in the nighttime. 1t
had been fOrty-ive days since he
was drowned and his body must
have evidently caught in some drift
or rock or else he would have float
ed farther down the river than
where his remains were recovered,
that being only about twelve or thir-
teen miles below. His remains
were inferred in Greenwood Gene
terry.

No more charming recreation can
befound than in the plans and COM
plications of this noble game, and
it is a matter of wonder that more
people do not play. Besides the
pleasure it affords there is no game
which produces so much intellect
ual exercise and improvement. To
those who acquire a thorough
knowledge of its principles it is not
only a pastime but a science. 1t
has been honored by the suffrages
OF the most eminent writers upon
education and philosophy, one of
whom says: "This matchless game
enables enc to exercise and bring
into play many of the qualities nee
cessarry to a successful progress in
the great game of life. Calculation
-foresight-well arranged and well
digested plans of action-the habit
of never commencing an undertake
ing until the issue has been
thoroughly Observation-Disclosures
in prOsperity-patience in difficulty
"a strictly guarded temper-and
last, but not least, courtesy and
amenity of manner. All these are
requisite to make a good chess
player, and will not the possession
of them do yeoman's service to any
man, be his profession or calling
what it may ?" And busy Benia-
min Franklin, whose every mo-
ment was devoted to some useful
study, thus commends the philoso-
ply it teaches /: "Who ever consid-
ers what in chess he often sees in
stances of, that success is apt to pro-
duce presumption, and its cOnse- J
quent inattention, by which more
is afterward lost than was gained
by the preceding advantage, while
misfortune produces more care and
attention, by which the loss may be
recovered, will learn not to be too
much discouraged by any present
successes of his adversary, nor to
despair of fnal good fortune upon
every little check he receives in
pursuit of it."
We are glad, therefore, to hear
that a chess tournament is in con-
temptation between our local play
ers, among whom are Prof. Perkins
and Prof. Emery, Robt. Mainhardt,
N. Rhodes and j. w. Ru-
and we hope that new i'm
petus will thereby be given to the
study of a game so conducive to in
tellectual pleasure and innocent
amusement in the family circle.

words: he came to this country from Ger
