DEATH OF LoNGFELLoW, THE POET.

Henry WadswOrth Longfelow, the poet, died
at Cambridge, Mass, on Friday last, in the
seventy-sixth year of his age Intelligence Of
the sad event was at once cabled abroad, and
the English press of the following day con-
tanned elaborate sketches of the distinguished
poet, coupled with the deepest expressions Of
regret at his demise. Throughout the United
States the news of his death awakened the
profOundest sorrow, and in his native town
mourning emblems were displayed from nearly
every building. The funeral, at the request of
the family, was free from all Ostentation.
q Mr.. Longfellow was the most popular, if not
the greatest, of American poets; for the high
est place seems to be awarded by many Arneri-
can critics to the late William Cullen Bryant.
He was graduated at Bowdoin College in 1925,
where he became professor of modern Ian
guages entering upon his professorship in
1899, after studying for three years in France,
Spain, Italy, and Germany. In 1885 he was
elected professor Of modern languages and
literature at Harvard University, but did not
occupy the chair until he had spent another
year in study abroad. From that time ne took
up his residence in the house wherein he had
lived ever since, known as the old Cragie
House, and historically as General Washing
toms headquarters during the siege of Boston.
Mr.. Longfellow held his professorship at Har-
ward until 1854, when he resigned his chair and
retired to private life. During all the years Of
his professorship and even while student at
Bowdoin, he devoted his leisure to literature
ard poetry. With the exception of the we'll
known Hymn of the Moravian Nuns" his
earliest literary works were in prose-his first
volume being small essay on the devotional
poetry of Spain, with translations of the Coplas
de Manrique and of sOnnets by Lope de Vega.
His subsequent prose works, published between
1885 and 1889, were "Outre Mer," pilgrimage
beyond the sea, and Hyperion" a romance.
In the same year with the latter appeared his
first volume of poetry, and the most popular Of
any, entitled "Voices of the Night" Then
followed in succession series of volumes of
poems and single pieces since gathered into his
collected works, running through various years
from 1872 TO 1875. Within the past few years
he has contributed to literature several poems
of r high order of merit such as "The Hang
ing of the Crane "The Alarm Bell of Atri,"
and collection of fugitive pieces under the
general title Of " Ultima Thule" his last efforts
in verse and some of them very touching. Mr..
Longfelow will be remembered as the house
hold poet of America. Many of his poems have
entered into the reading books of schools The
devotional spirit of his famous Psalm of
Life" and the Indictment to high endeaver Of
his Excelsior" have not only been admired
and praised at home and abroad, but have rem
dered those poems, from frequent quotation
and rccit, ,tioa " familiar as household words -
All his poetry is pure and healthy, although
many of its most striking passages are transla-
tions or paraphrases from other tongues.

City.
At the evening session Hon. n. G. Warner,
an old officer Of the regiment, delivered the
oration. The speaker in referring to the great
loss the regiment sustained in many of the
great battles participated in by the Potomac
Army, brought tears to the eyes of the vet
Grams, and for some moments was unable to
continue. ..-.r

Also letters were read from Senators David

much it added to the lustre Of Illinois's
splendid record in the rebellion.

A CARD FROM GEN, ROSECRANS,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27. 1886

WARRINGTON, D. c., March q, 1882.
To the Editsr NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In My account of the campaign of Tulla-
hons, dictated to your reporter under a pressure
Of otbsr business at an unexpected moment
have doubtless omitted many details Of import
ant service, Of the gallant officers and men
under ny command.
I have lust received letter from my friend,
Colonel rarsuahar reminding me of one omis-
sion which I deeply regret. At the beginning
of our movement, General r. ". Johnston's
division of the Twentieth Corps was directed
to seizs and hold Liberty Gap, through which
passed the railway line going south. That SER
vice it performed, on the oath and 25th, the
veteran General Willieh's brigade leading and
fshtisy with obstinate valor. Colonel }. ,.
Millsr's brigade, which alone I mentioned IN
my dieation, was sent to Willicb's assistance on
the s5sh, and arrived in time to have hand IN
the hght near its close, when he was wounded,
as I mention.
I truss your readers will add this to that ac-
count, rs due to that ever-gallant division OF
the Twentieth Corps and its brave commander,
as well az to the memory of my old friend and
comrsae, General Willith.
Should any Of my old comrades find in any
Of my accounts of the campaigns of the Army
Of the Cumberland omissions which seem to
them eught not to have occurred l beg them TO
remember that they are not given at leisure
among books and papers, and officers drawing
salaries from the Government, and employed
for my benefit to distort and travesty history,
and rob patriotic and loyal comrades of their
laure1s, IN order to give me a name. They are
dictated In haste in moments snatched from the
time edIed for by the duties and cares of an
overburdened life.
They are given for my comrades and for the
truth Of history, which for the last eighteen
years has been running turbid with falsehOod,
coming from men in high places whom honor
ought to have bound to protect the regulations
of their comrades in arms.

sarne nature In ench issue of our paper. While we
cheefy furnish information to subscribers IN this
coursn, suggest that much labor, time and ex-
yenss npdy be saved both to ourselves and to our
cDrrespondens if the latter and other subscribers
would keep a file of the paper. They could then.
at any tinae turn to the file and probably find the
very inquiry answered about which they would
have written to U.s. We trust that each and every
subscriber win profit by this suggestion.
II. A. r., ANoKA MINN.-Mr. Bingham's bill
provides that from and after December A, 1881,
all persons on the pension-rou and all persons
hereafter granted a pension who, while in the
military or naval service of the United States,
and in the line Of duty, shall have lost an arm,
one hand, one leg, or one foot, or shall have
suffered disability equal thereto, shall be enti-
tied to pension of $40 per month. The ques-
ton you raise AZ to the equivalent disability is
a difficult one to answer; but if the loss of
hearing presents as many obstacles and i'm
pcdinents to the performance of manual labor
as would ths loss of an arm, hand, leg, or foot,
the answer Is plain.
Fl. DANIELS, EAST sr. LOUIS, ILL.-If the
soldier aied from the result of any disease or
injury contracted in the service and line of
HlS W1doN Wouiu 90 cnlleieu W q pcuSloH.
Claims for pension filed now do not entitle the
claimant TO arrears from date of discharge.
s.w., MASON CRY, ILL.-Failure to file the
testimony referred to would not be sufficient
reason for the rejection Of the claim.
J. b., AKcANUM, oHIo.-The attorney to
whom yvu refer is an energetic and painstaking
man, ana the delay, if any, we presume to be
in the Pension Office, where lack of clerical
force and immense amount of work make such
a condition OF things unfortunate but inevitable.
Al r., DoYLEsTowN, PA.-Provided the
soldier claimed prior to July l. 1880, the PEN
sion would date from discharge; otherwise from
the date of filing the application. Unless ex-
pres.ly provided, pensions granted by special
act Of Congress date from the passage of said
act.
A 2. P, cENTREToVN, Mo.-Your case has
been referred to an attorney of experience who
will advise you as to its prospects of recovery
for less Of horse.
Z. A. s., WATERFOWL, N. Y.--The delay in
the settlement of your claim may be attributed
to various CAUSES 1t may be awaiting replies
to additional calls upon the Adiutant- General
er ii rsy not have been reached in its regular
order. Much of the delay in the settlement
of pension claims is due to the lack of clerical
force in the Pension Office and Bureaus of the
War Department..

The Wife KILN. at Eureka.

The Eureka Sentinel gives the follow
| ing in regard to the death of Mrs. Ian
! sing, in addition to what has been pub
lished: A few minutes before going tC
press this morning, and after the above
sketch of the sad catastrophe had been
printed, our reporter, in company with
Sheriff Kyle, went to view the corpse
for the purpose examining the wound,
to determine, if possible, whether it had
been made by bullet, or made other
wise. The examination, Of course,
casually made, indicates that it was not
made by a bullet, but BY totally diff
ferent instrument The wound is out
lined by two sides Of Il right angle, one
of which is about an inch and 4 half in
length, the other about an inch.
Within the space enclosed by these
lines there is hole in the skull, deep,
Irregular, and larger than could have
been made by an ordinary bullet. so
much for the indications Of the wound
itself. Eut further, Il chair was found
near the body in two parts, the back
and bottom in one piece ana the LEGS alone
in another. On the under edge of the
back part Of the seat Of tie chair blood
was found covering a space Of about rs
large as the surface Of the wound. The
chair is a substantial Kitchen chair and
could have been broken apart as dc
scrihcd, by a powerful blow. When
found it was in two pieces, the les
seemingly havi:e been hurled
from their sockets by the concu-
sion from such Il blow as the cir
cumstances warrant us to presume may
have been given. These observations
were made by Sheriff Kyle, who ~crr-
tinized everything closely, and he is
convinced that the death blow was not
from 4 pistol, but from he stout kitchen
chair that was found broken in two ant
lying near the body.
At present this theory Of the killing
seems the most probable, and is i'd
vanccd without disrpspect to DrS-
Bishop and Owen, who made but a
hasty examination Of the wound before
it had been dressed, and hence when
it was not in condition to be satisfac
torily inspected.
