Softly, peacefully they slumber
In the quiet grave 50 low,
Tolls and SORROWS without number
Henceforth they viii never know;
And within this still, secluded dell
Neither pain nor sorrow eyermore shall

Still the brave man waits contonted
Till the call comes from above,
KnOwsthat when this life is ended
Happiness awaits and love;
Bold hest ives against fate unpropitiousi
Andhis strife severe will be victorious.
See where angels waiting hover,
Crowns around his brow to Irvine;
Only when all strife is over
Bliss unclouded will be thine;
And the mind will in fond retrospection
Find reward for all life's imperfection.

Wrapt in slumber most profound,
Harkl the trumpet's shrill alarming;l

And the drums now loud are rolling,
While trumpets bold the host are waking.
Hark! the trumpets boldly calling,
Drums defiant loudly roll.
See in haste the ranks are forming,
While each heart beats loud and fast;
God of battles, give us victory,
Watch over US while life shall last.

THE present Sheriff of Cook County Is
probably not inse.lsible of the fact that
eood MANY complaints have been made OF
the manner in which his Office has been
managed, Without Investigation it would
be unjust to say that these complaints are well
founded. TIE TRIBUNE does not assert that
they are But they areof nature I" require

yers Is the most important. 1t IS tnat the bar
does not get as good service from the Sherltfs
office now as it did during the official term
either of Sheriff uoffmann or Sheriff Kern.
The government of the iail Is said to be not
50 efficient as formerly. The collection OF
t1nlinoueut bail bonds has been VIGOROUSLY
slow and inadequate. There have been also
some irregularities in the conduct vi tne
Ba1litfs, the practice OF assessing them 1of
presentations and testimonials OF various
kinds being specially improper and offensive.
It is not said that Sheriff Mann himself mas
been unwilling to l.aar complaints or to rec
tify errors when they have been pointed out,
but that there has been certain loosehess III

that things are not as they should be. we

4 writer in the BostOn Herald has been
at some pains to show that modern publish

snubbed, ard Thackeray had his manuscript
''chopped ups by the editor Of the Edin-

plays returned with thanks by all managers
and publishers until, lie put them forth as
tra1lslations from the Spanish Of once

they "took like wildtire.'' The popular
French nove!ists Gautier and Feuillet were
compelled to appeal to the public over the
heads Of publishers, and Alphonse Daudet

1ractive work he ever wrote refused by sew

London publisher. refused the manuscript
Of Motley's "Dutcll Republic and Carlyle

seeming reflection upon the Intelligence and
literary Judgment Of modern publishers
may after all be unjust. They know that it

It was on Sunday-a day Of rest and Of
peace according to the Pnritanical rule Of
lite-tllat Mrs. William &. Chapin, at Gil
bcrt's Mills; n. Y, was delivered of twins;
fine, fat. healthy boys. It was great event
in the Chaplin family. Mrs. Chaplin had not
borne twins before, and she could not diyest
her mind of the impression that some political
significance attached to the unusual event.
During the period Of pregnancy she had
dwelt much upon the subject Of tile factional
division in the Republican party, greatly de-
ploring it as a misfortune to the country;
and the shooting OF the President and its
dire consequences made a deep impression
upon her mind. When the boys were held up
to her view smile irraliated her cUunte-
nance, and she family whispered to her
proud husband, "Gartield and Arthur.
Tears filled the eyes Of the father as he re-
marked gently: g She hath done what she
could; she wishes TO heal the breach in the
ranks of the Republican party; this one
shall be chrstcncd Garfield and this one

Nothing could be more touching than this
domestic cpisode-the devo ton to country OF
the mother, the fearful acQuiescence Of the
father, and the waillng, precocious rccogni-
ton Of their conciliatory, harmonizing desti-
ny by the boys. For itmust be presumed
thai consideration of the analogies of the
situation was not neglected, and these i'll
volve the martyrlom OF the little dimpled,
red-taced Garfield, and the elevation to his
place in the household of the little fat, puffy
checked Arthur. No wonder the mother
tainted "dead away'' and the father wept in
the act of devotlng one of the beloved twins
to the Moloch of political party division. It
is like the story Of Abraham consenting to
slay his son Isaac for a burnt Offering. r.
The babyhood Of the twins will be watched
!" with absorbing interest. An anxious public
will want to know whether little Garfield and
little Arthur live in sweet accord, or try to
gouge each others little soul-lit eyes out;
whether they dwell in unity In a double crib,
