To Bro,Un, Chairman, Columbus, Ohio:

BURIED Monday afternoon Mr..
tie B. Gasscock, near Snickersville, sent
one of his hands to field not far from the
house to clean up some briars, and who,
while thus engaged, was attracted by the
crying of child in a strip of woods in one
corner of the field. Investigation revealed
the presence Of white female child, about
two months old, regularly entombed among
the rocks-the sides of which were carefully
filled in with leaves and dirt, and q large
fat rock placed over the grave thus impro.
vised. The little thing was robed in its or
binary clothing, with handkerchief around
its neck. The supposition is that it had
been drugged with laudanum, and under
the impression that life was extinct, this
inhuman expedient was resorted to for the
purpose Of getting it out of the way and
possibly to conceal crime. The SUPPOSE
ton that laudanum had been administer
ed was strengthened by the fact that the
handkerchief about the neck was
saturated with vomit, which probably saved
her life. The little creature is supposed to
have lain in her cold and rugged grave
since the preceding Saturdav-and Wnen
found she was fearfully emaciated and al
most dead for the want Of nourshment.
Medical skill was called to aid, however,
and lady who saw her on Tuesday morn
ing informs us that she was greatly revived
and under tender, careful treatment, was
likely to survive after her miraculous es-
cape from horrible death. We learn from
the Same source that the footprints of
man and woman were detected in the
earth about the grave. The child is aaid to
be quite interesting in appearance, hut that

Now THAT every one comedies that the
DAYS of Malone are numbered, and that his
"malign influence" will soon cease to be
potential either in State or national affairs,
the newspapers of the North have had the
scales which ohscured the Generals charac-
ter removed from their eyes, 80 that they
now see him in his true colors. That their
vision is now unimpaired is made evident
by the following notice of the General taken
from the New York Times:
Gen Malone has at no time shown any
attachment to principle. He used the repu
diation movement to promote his own per-
sonal power. He protested solicitude for
the cause of education and the rights of col.
ored citizens to effect the coalition which
gave him control of the State government.
He used his peculiar position in the Senate
to obtain control of federal appointments in
Virginia as means of strengthening his
hold as political organizer. 1t is the chief
disgrace of the present administration at
Washington that he was permitted to sue
coed in this. But his selfish policy and his
dictatoral methods have at last produced
their inevitable results"

GENERAL LOGAN, in a speech he made at
Madison, Wisconsin, yesterday, said: "every
party writes it's own history and marks
out distinctly path of its own. So it is
with the democratic party. Its course was
indelibly impressed upon the history of the
country in manner that no one should
envy. The democratic party represented
English interests as against American in
tsrests. It's monuments We're built upon
slavery, and the democrats of the South
wrote their principles in blood" And yet
the General is the very man who was an
ultra democrat until the republicans came
into power. was so pronounced pro slavery
man that be prided himself upon being a
slave catcher, and is charged by people Of
bis own State with having recruited soldiers
for the Confederate army!

ALL THE negroes In New York will vote
solidly for Blaine. Rev. Mr.. Derrick, one
of their preachers, and who is also one of
the republican Presidential electors in that
State, speaks as follows of the Irish -Ameri-
can voters:
81 believe that the time is coming when
Irishmen and negroes will split up and vote
differently from their present solid ranks,
but that time has not come yet. We can
not safely leave the republican party and
scatter our votes until the German and Irish
element-particularly the Irish element
learns to respect our right. Ireland is clam
oring for liberty at home, and still she is
unwilling to accord the same right to us.
The Irish have been our bitter and releut-
less foes. Every vote they have cast as a
people has been cast to enslave u.s."
Blood is thicker than water, and the
Irishmen, especially in the South, will con-
tinue in the future as in the past to vote with
their white fellow citizens.

There is No Death

There is no death The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death The dust v;e tread
Shall change beneath the Summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit.
Or rainbow tinted flowers
The granite rocks d;sorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The fairest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming Of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread
He bears our bestowed things away,
And then We call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all dcsolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers,
The birdlike voice, whose joyous totes
Made glad the scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And when He sees smile too bright.
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With joy we welcome them, the same.
Except in sin aud pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there is no dead
