THE CHURCHYARD BY THE SEA.

A MEMORY.
Across the waste Of years see
One spot forever soft and green
Which, shrined within my memory,
In evening glow OF morning sheen.
Tells of the golden, vanished years.
When smiles came oftener far than tears.
A churchyard by the restless sea,
Where ln deep, calm and dfeamless sleep,
The Dead lay resting peacefully.
Unheedlng the tempestnous deep;
Careless alike of sun and breeze,
Or ebbing of those changeful seas.
And oft whenN Nhipwreck and despair
Came to the little sea-boat town.
Pale women, with disheveled hair,
To the wild shore went hurrying down,
And tenderly dead eyes would close,
And smooth dead limbs for long repose.
Full many weary, storm-tossed wight,
Year after year, in quiet was laid,
Safe from the clustering storms OF night
In this green spot and undismayed,
Slept close beside the breakers roar,
Whose wrath should mar his rest no more.
And over each housekeeping head,
Where thymy turf grew green and soft
The wild bee hummed, and rosy-red
The brier- flower bloemed, and up aloft
The deecy clouds went drifting by
Like shades, across the summer sky.
And ever as the years go by,
And one by one old memories, creep
From out the sweet past solemnly,
seem to see, beside the deep
That little, lonely, silent spot,
With many a childish dream enwrOugh.

The New Minister to Germany. 1.

The New Minister to Germany. ~
Hon. John A. Kasson, who was lately
appointed as Minister to Germany, was
born at Burlington, VT, January IL, 1892.
He acquired the rudiments of his education
in the public schools of his neighborhood,
and when twenty years of age graduated
from the University of Vermont. Upon
leaving this institution he determined to
study law, and pursued course of reading
in Massachusetts, and after being admitted
to practice he removed to st. Louis, where
he engaged in his profession until 1847,
when he settled in Des Moines, Iowa. In
the following year he was elected State
Director in the organization of the State
Bank Of iowa, and in the next WAS State
Commissioner to investigate and report on
the condition of the Executive Department
of Iowa. About this time he was elected
Chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, and in 1860 he was both a delegate
to the Chicago Convention and the repre-
sentative of Iowa on the platform commit
tee. Upon the Inauguration of President
Lincoln, Mr.. Kasson was appointed First
Assistant Postmaster General, position
he occupied until the fall of 1862, when he
resigned to accept nomination for Con-
grese, but in the ensuing election was de-
feated. In 1868 he was appointed United
States Commissioner to the International
Postal Congress, held in Paris. On his
return he was elected member of the
Thirty-eighth Congress, and at the close of
that was chosen for the Thirty-ninth. In
1867 he visited Great Britain, France, Bel
GUM. Holland, Germany, Switzerland and
Italy, as Commissioner on the part of the
United States to negotiate postal connec-
tions, and succeeded in inducing all the
Governments excepting that of France to
sign the preliminary agreements. From
| 1868 to 1873 he served as member of the
General Assembly of Iowa, and was elected
to the Forty-third and Forty fourth
Congresses.
Soon after bis accession, Presidant Hayes
| appointed Mr.. Kasson United States
| Minister to Spain, but on account Of the
stand he had publicly taken in Congress
upon the Subject of Spanish atrocities in
Cuba, he declined the portfolio, and was
then given that of the Austrian mission.
Upon retirement from service in Vienna,
he returned home and was elected to the
Forty y-seyenth Congress from his old
district. He has ranked as one of the
Republican leaders of the House, and his
retirment from that body will be greatly
regretted.

DRuRY'S PLATFORM.

Protection as y Principle, First Last and
All the Time-An Urgent Appeal to the
Sugar and Rice Industries.
To the Sugar and Rice Planters Of Louisiana:
Feeling thoroughly the gravity of the
pending campaign upon the material In
terests of this my adopted home, through
the sugar and rice industries and internal
improvement such as relates to our great
river, and recognizing how interviewer
with these is every profession, trade and
calling, whether in the city or country,
throughout the whole State, and being con-
vinced of the urgent necessity of some step
being taken looking to the organization of
these interests which should have nothing
of partisan significance attached to it, nor
any other object than the protection of
these industries, and thereby protecting
the laboring masses, of which, in this State,
the majority of my party form the princi-
pal part, and knowing full well that any ut
terance and opinion of mine would be liable
to be construed as meaning some political
advancement or aggrandizement, have
determined to relieve myself of any such
charge and to address myself with what
ever of energy or ability may possess to
the bringing together of all those interests in
the common cause of protection to our
industries and internal improvements.
To this end, have rendered to the Pres
ident of the United States my resignation
of the Office of Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. for this State and have therein pledged
myself to accept no Office either from the
present or incoming administration, and
desire at this time to explicitly announce
to my many friends who have solicited me
to be candidate, that am not and will
not be a candidate for Congress from the
Third District, satisfied that the present
Congressman from that district is by far
the best fitted to represent and protect all
| interests involved, by his experience and
thorough knowledge of the whole subject.
shall therefore, give him whatever of sup
port can command.
My course may seem Quixotic, but it is
sincere, and given as an earnest of good
| intentions, and with the hope that it will
strengthen my hands in what seek to aid
in doing.
have watched with considerable inter-
est for years past the gradual recognition
| by the people of this State of the wisdom
| of the policy of the National Republican
| party in its course towards the material
| advancement of the best interests of Louis
lana, and rejoice at the liberal spirit shown
towards our industries and internal i'm
provements, and appreciate the need of q
continuance of that policy. These princi.
pies of the party have been heard from
