Here sleep Delo'eu ueau
And yet not dead;
Though lost to mortal sight,
They walk in light.
For them no earthly fears,
No bitter tears;
The crown immortal won,
Their conflict done.
Their dust the mountains keep.
In slumber sweet.
Till summons from the skies
Bid them arise.
The flowers their fragrance shed
Where sleep the dead
And Faith triumphant sings,
Glad visions brings.
What treasures thou dost hold
Beneath thy mold;
On which soft shadows lie,
From mountains nigh.
Gods acre, sown in tears,
Aud darkening fears;
From thee eretwhile shall come
Glad harvest home.

BELLEFoNTAINE. OHIO.

BELLEFoNTAINE, ONO, presents a
strange anomaly in the case of George
Foulty, ayoung married man of that
place, who, for some slight domestic
trouble, got drunk, and, while lying on
his back, shot himself in the exact
center of his forehead and expected to
die instantly. Instead of that he did
not lose consciousness for moment,
but says he felt the ball strike his fore.
head, pass clear through his brain and
strike the bone at the back of his head.
As soon as shot he got up from the
bed, walked into another room and
staid there until induced to lie down.
Notwithstanding the fact that brains
oozed from the bullet hole. and the at
tending physician probed the wound for
q distance of three inches, he has never
felt any inconvenience except slight
headache, and has never been uncon-
scious for single instant. 1t is said
that his faculties are better and his
reasoning powers clearer now than be-
fore he shot himself. He goes about,
smokes cigars, and is in fair way to
recover.

THEWORLD'SDOINGS
A summary or the Daily News.
ooNGRKssIoNAL NOTKs.

AMONG the provisions of the Naval APP
preparation bill Just passed the Senate, the
Secretary Of the Navy 10 directed TO appoint
q commission to consider and report to the
next session of Congress upon the question
whether itis advisable 70 sell any Of the
navy yards ana il so, which one. For gen.
eral purposes Of construction and repair an
appropriation Of s., 750, 900 is made. no part
Of this sum to be applied to repairs Of
wooden ships when the estimated cost of
repairs exceeds 80 per cent Of the estimated
cost of q new ship, and the por-
ton Of this sum not required
for the purpose aforesaid may be applied to
the construction of two steam cruising ves-
sells. An appropriation Of 800, 600 is made
to build and fit the turrets and pilot house
Of the iron clad steamer Miantonomah, and
to launch to the best advantage the moni-
tors Manadnock, Puritan and Amphitrite.
THE bill granting q pension of S37
month TO soldiers who lost an arm at the
shoulder passed the House. Also q joint
resolution authorizing Lieutenant Com
mander Sigsbee to receive decoration from
the Government of Germany, and Joseph
r Hawley, President of the Centenpial
Governments Of Spain and Japan.
The President vetoed the River and Har-
Dor bill. While he was in favor Of many of the
items of the bill as Of national importance,
he returned the bill without his approval.
His principal objection to the bill was that
it contained appropriations for purposes
not for the common good or general well
fare, and which did not promote COM
merce among the States. These provisions
on the contrary are entirely for the benefit
Of particular localities in which 1t is pro-
posed to make improvements. He regard
ed such appropriations of the public funds
as beyond the power given by the Constitu-
ton to Congress and the President.
ADVERSE action was taken by the Senate
Finance Committee upon the House bill to
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue 5000, 900, 900 Of two per cent bonds to
be exchanged for other bonds bearing q
higher rate of interest. The bonds under
the provisions Of the bill being of conven-
lent denomination, would readily circulate
as currency and the committee failed to
recognize any necessity for increasing the
volume Of paper currency by issuing inter-
est bearing notes.

A FEW weeks since a boy twelve
years OF age, named Guy Smith, shot
and killed his father at Kirkwood, Mo.
while in rage because his father had
whipped him. Later the boy was tried
Mt St. Louis and found guilty of muir
der in the first degree. The penalty
Is death. The statutes of Missouri;
prohibit sending to the penitentiary a
minor under the age of eighteen years.
and the Governor has just pardoned a
young man sentenced for ten years for
burglary because it transpired after
conviction that he was under eighteen
years Of age. The law. however. il
silent as TO capital offenses, and il
would seem somewhat inconsistent. for
while this boy could not have been sent
TO the penitentiary upon conviction
for murder in any of the lesser degrees.
ne may be hung upon conviction of
murder in the first degree. The case
will doubtless be fought through the
Courts of the State and may possibly
be finally taken to the Governor for ex-
ecutive clemency. Should a new trial
be denied and proceedings in the Court
below affirmed, nothing but an alb
solute pardon or death can be the final
result, as the boy cannot be sent to the
penitentiary.

GEN. GRANT wrote a letter to Hon.
@. q. Williams, Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, in which
be maintained the justice of the meas
ure known as the Japanese Indemnity,
and adds: Justice seems to me to
dictate that the interest, as we'll as the
principal, should be paid, just as the
House, by its action, decided. But the
principle involved is of much more i'm
portance to Japan than all the money
in question. Eastern countries have
been so unaccustomed to fair play from
the stronger Powers of the world, that
this action of Congress, if consum-
mated, will be sucha new departure as
will rebound to our credit if we re-
ceive no other benefit"
