THE GREELY SHADOW.

Shooting Of Henry-Canniba1ism Denied.
A special from Portsmouth, N. H., says:
Early this morning Col Kent obtained an in
terview with Lieut. Greedy, who admits that
Henry had a military execution on the 9th OF
June. As early as March it was suspected
that Henry was stealing the limited food
which was apportioned out to the surviv-
ors, and this fact being finally positively
ascertained Lieut. Greedy had thereafter
hard work to protect the mans life. 1t
the discipline. to inform Henry that he
would be shot if the practice continued, and
that similar fate would be melted out to any
other member of the party detected in like
crime If Henry had been permitted to con.
tinue his stealings unmolested, the balance Of
the party would surely have starved to death
and Henry alone survived. After and in spite
Of these warnings, Henry was again detected
stealing provisions, among the food taken being
two pounds of bacon, the eating of 80 much Of
which made him sick. Search was then in
stituted, when it was found that Henry had,
among other articles, stolen and secreted
pair of sealskin boots which had be-
longed to hunter of the party. Lieut.
Greedy was therefore forced, in order to
maintain military discipline and protect the
lives of his other comrades, to issue written
order that Henry be shot, which order was
carried into effect June g. As to the alleged
cannibalism, Lieut. Greedy says if there was
anything of the kind it must have been an in
dividua1 act, and not general Nothing Of the
kind however, came under his personal obser-
walton. Sergeant Brainard, who is in the hos
pital at the navy yard confirms Greely's state
ments. More than week ago Lieut. Greedy
forwarded to the secretary Of war detailed
report of Henry's execution. Upon proper
representations to Secretary Chandler, cours
of inquiry will undoubtedly be ordered
A verbal report was made to General Hazen
by Lieutenant Greedy shortly after the arrival
Of the relief expedition at Portsmouth. In re-
gard to the execution of Henry, General Hazen
said: cit was not only justifable but the
noblest thing in the expedition.
A written report was submitted by Greedy to
the war department few days ago, fully COW
ering Henry's case, and . court martial has
been asked for by Lieut. Greedy if the facts
seem to the war department to warrant it. In
closing, Lieut. Greedy said: II regret that the
thrust upon me, but feel should have failed
in my duty to the rost of the noble men Of my
command had / not acted as did,"

A Notable Cemetery,

In ancient days saints remains, if
they could be obtained, were buried
near the altar of the church dedicated to
him. The relics of the holy man made
the place sacred, and so appealed to the
imagination that men desired to be
buried near the saint.
AS the space was limited, the burials
in the church were restricted to the
bodies of men eminent for their piety
or high in rank. But those who could
not be buried close to the sacred re-
mains were anxious that their bodies
should repose as near to them as
possible. To crafty this pious wish the
churchyard was consecrated as burial
place.
When churchyards in cities and towns
became unhealthy, cemeteries were es-
tablished in the open country, where
the dead might be buried out of sight,
but amid trees and flowers, natural
scenery and works of monumental art.
De Amicis, in his "Spain," describes
the notable cemetery of Barcelona. He
says:
A silent city traversed bv long, de-
serted streets, fanked by straie hit walls
of equal height, shut in at the end by
other walls.
The dead are placed in the walls
lengthwise, arranged in different rows,
like the books in library. For every
casket there is corresponding species
of niche in the wall, in which is writ
ten the name of the person buried.
Where no one is buried, the niche bears
the written word Propriedad, which sig
mites that the place has been purchased.
The majority of the inches are en-
closed by glass, others 10y gratings,
some by fine wire netting, and con-
tain vlriety of objects, placed there in
honor of the dead by their respective
families, such as photographs, little al
tars, pictures, embroiderics, artificial
flowers, and, not unfrequently, trifles
that were dear to them in life: ribbons,
necklaces, children's playthings, books,
pins and small pictures.
The family of the dead are obliged
to pay certain sum yearly for the niche.
When they cease to pay, the casket is
removed and carried to the common
ditch of the cemetery for the poor.
In an empty niche saw beautiful
lock of blonde hair, which had be-
longed to a young girl of fifteen who
had beed drowned. To it was attached
to card ON which was written, Quer-
ida! Dear One.)
This portion of the cemetery belongs
to the middle class of the people, and
holds, within, two, vast divisions. One
destined for the poor, Is bare, and
planted with great black crosses.
The other, set apart for the rich, and
larger than the first, is cultivated like
q garden, surrounded by chapels, rich,
varied and superb.
In the midst of forest of willows
and expresses, on every side columns,
shafts, enormous tombs, and marble
chapels overloaded with sculpture,
pyramids, groups of statues and monu-
ments, large as houses, which overtop
the highest trees.
Between the monuments are bushes,
gratings and fiower-beds, and at the
entrance, between this and the other
cemetery, there is superb marble
church surrounded by columns, half
hidden by the trees.
On leaving this garden one crosses
once more the deserted streets of the
metropolis, which seems more silent
and sad than at ones first entrance.

Regarding the financial situation, Jay Gould
said to . reporter the other day:
"We have exceptionally good crops; that of
wheat will be the largest we have ever harvest
ed The corn crop, which is now virtually as
sured, is also the largest for years. The news
from Arkansas and Texas goes to show that the
cotton crop will be frst-rate one. Money is
piling up, and soon there will be enough bonds
and stocks to go around, If indeed there are not
now Everything in the country is athard pan
prices. Railroad building has virtually stop
roads, consequently the old lines viii neces-
furry following the failure Of Grant Il Ward
and the Maine bank have all passed away. I
think the stock market is in healthy condi-
ton The crops and the low prices Of stocks
and bonds, at the present time, are two
conditions that govern operations at the
present time, regardless of the result Of
the presidential election The exceptional
ly large crops will bring an enormous
business to the various railroad lines, and
stocks and bonds are selling 80 low that the
outcome OF the political campaign will in my
opinion, have no bearing upon the course Of
the markets.

What the Liquor Organ Says.

The Retailer, the liquor organ of
New York, says:
The temperance party is powerful
and is growing stronger every day, and
it is mooted question that with the
States already under their control they
do not hold the balance of power in
the coming Presidential Election.
In town elections on Staten Island
they may be defeated. In a great
city like this, the sentiment opposed to
high license and prohibition may be, in
fact is, pronounced, and by large ma
jority, but the pulse of the people
through the country, is such that we
are not far wrong when we say, the
balance Of power even now lies with
the temperance party.
1t then behooves the Democratic
and Republican parties to watch with
utmost care the promises that will be
made to the temperance voter in the
coming election, and see that none are
made that cannot be fully carried out,
for, once, deceived this powerful element
will not be likely to again be used to
favor the candidates of the deceiving
party.
The situation is interesting and we
watch it with interest.
The question of temperance is be.
fore the people and in good time they
will decide it, and the strongest party
will win.
Anti-temperance needs all its forces
well trained and compact if defeat is
to be averted."

change having been agreed upon
between the county and the railroad.
These bonds run ten and twelve years,
with six per cent interest, payable
semi~annually. BY this arrangement
Sparta has secured all the advantages
of the connection at about one.tenth
the cost of construction to the Nash.

All of the grading has been COM

Doyle, which is within six miles q
Sparta. President Porter made an in
spection of the line as far as Doyle
Friday. The work is being pushed
forward rapidly, and trains will proba.
bly, run to Sparta within six weeks.
The iron for Town creek bridge, one
half mile this side of Sparta, is now at
Tullahoma.
On Monday next two trains will be
run. One a regular passenger, will
leave Doyle at 5 A. NJ, and making
connection with the Chattanooga train
due here at 11:45 Am. The other
will be mixed train, leaving Doyle
at II A. NJ, and making connection at
Tullahoma with the evening train for
Nashville.
Telegraphic connection was completed
to Sparta week ago, and an Office
opened.
There is now awaiting shipment at
Sparta three million feet of walnut,
popular and ash lumber, and there are
large amounts piled at various points
along the road this side of Sparta.
Work on the branch road from
Sparta to the Bon Air coal mines,

this spring. The region penetrated by
the extension is a rich one, agricultu-
