from Harper's Magazine
9th June. 1878.

MERCEDES,
Goth June, 1878.
Here all that life could promise or bestow;
Youth, beauty, love, a crown, the reckoning
years;
Lids to be pearled with none but joyous tears;
A life unsoiled with any vulgar woe,
And by nations swelled to ordlier flow
What lurking place, we thought, for doubts
or fears
When, a white swan, she swan along the
cheers
OF the Alcala but five brief months ago?
The cannon shouted hymeneals then
That ON her birthday now denounce her doom;
The same white steeds, that tossed their scorn
of men,
To-day as naughty drag her to the tomb;
Grim jest of Fate! yet who dare call 1t blind!
Who knows what life is, what our human
kind?
THE PRISON OF CERvANTEs.
Were mine such cell! Though natures firm
decree
The narrowing soul with narrowing dungeon
bind,
Yet his was free of foot as any wind,
And held both worlds, of spirit and sense, in
fee;
What mortals saw of him lay here, while he,
In charmed communion with his dual mind,
Was wandering Spain, himself both knight
and hind,
Redressing wrongs he knew must ever be;
His humor wise could see life's long deceit,
Mans batfled arms, nor therefore both de-
spise;
His knightly nature could i'll fortune greet
Like an old friend; whose ever such kind eyes
That pierced so deep, such scope, save his
whose feet
By Avon ceased meath the same ApriPs skies?

description of interesting objects in

Many of the specimens are from the
Mankin Island, where there exists the
most extraordinary funeral ceremony
in the world. The body of the dead
person is washed, oiled and exposed to
the sun. during which operation it is
walled over; after the first wailing it is
laid on mat spread over great oblong
plate or tray made of tortoise shells
fastened together. A number of per-
sons seat themselves opposite each
other on the floor of the house, and sup
port the plate on their knees as long as
they are able; when tired they are
relieved by others, and thus the body

other at intervals. During this time a
fire is kept burning in the house, and il
never extinguished night or dap,
After the two years have expired, the
head is removed and skull cleaned; and

The only answer we have to
make to the HERALD, with refer
ence to the remark In the EGpresi
that the Republican maturity in
Ohio this year is larger than that
at the last general election, is In
the dispatch We publish to-day,
which claims that the Republicans
will have In the Legislature q ma
jority of from thirty to thirty-five.
II this claim 10 verified by the Of
hcial count it will confirm what
we said.-Evening Express.
AT the time when our esteemed
contemporary said that the Repub.
licans had carried Ohio by an in
creased majority over the vote had
ut the last State election. Il. had no
access to the Dispatch to which it
refers In tie above rejoinder to our
friendly paragraph. The fact is
that, maugre the Associated Press
tslegrspher, it will be found
that there was larger Re
publican majority in the last
Ohio Legislature than. there
will be in this, while the highest
plurality claimed for Foster by the
Chairman of the Ohio Republican
State Central Committee up till
the time the paragraph we
noted was written, was two
thousand lees than Fosters plural
ity In the State election last year.
When sweeping statements of this
kind, calculated TO help along q
Republican "boom" are made by a
public journal, pains should be
taken to see that they are accurate.
That Ohio would be staunchly Re-
publican, no sane man felt like
disputing.

A treatise on the history of the
postal card has been published in
Berlin. The originator of the idea
is said to have been a German
State official, DR.. Stephan, who
wrote an essay upon it in 1866.
Austria was the first to adopt it,
beginning in October, 1869. The
first three months witnessed the
passage of 2,930,000 cards through
the mails. Germany followed suit
in 1870, and on tho first day after
the introduction of the postal card
As 1853 were sent off in Berlin alon- !;
and within two months over 2, OOO,-
900 were used. Other countries
soon initiated the step. During
the Franco.Prussian war the postal
card system was o great boon to
both armies. Over $1,000, 600 cards
passed during the campaign be.
tween the German soldiers and their
friends and homes. The greatest
proportional consumption of postal
cards occurs unquestionably in the
United States. The whole of Eu
rope is estimated to use annually
$50, 0GO, 900, while the consumption
in the United States alone will
probably not fall short of $50, OOO,-
900 Germany consumed In 1879
122, TAI, 900. The use of the postal
card is, moreover, constantly in
creasipg, and, to some extent, at
the expense of the letter cores
pondence. There are now said to
be Is countries in which it is intro
duced. Austria, which has the
honor of first putting the idea into
practical execution, is now said to
have cards of the poorest material
and most inconvenient form.

the remarks of Senator Edmunds,
and many of the Republican pa
pers, that President Garfield was

affect great fear that, II Bayard

change of administration. For our
part, we think that, barring those
visitations of God which are liable
to PROSTATE any man, President
Arthur will live out his term.

there need be no uneasiness about
