vANQuIsHED BUT BY DEATH.

The Hero's First Defeat Admirably Done
Into Verse.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The NelCs has re-
ceived from Francis F. Browne. editor Of
the Dial, the following admirable poem on
the death of Grant:
vANoUIsHEDi
Not by the ball or brand
Sped by mortal hand,
Not by the lightning stroke
When fiery tempests broke
Not mid the ranks of war
Fell the great conqueror.
H.
Unmoved, undismayed.
In the crash and carnage of the cannonads,
Eye that dimmed not, hand that failed not,
Brain that swerVed not, heart that quail0d
Steel nerve. iron form,
The dauntless spirit that o'erruled the storFA.
While the hero peaceful slept,
A foeman to his chamber crept.
Lightly to the sinm berer came,
Touched his brow and breathed his name
Ger the stricken brow there passed
Suddenly an icy blast.
The Hero woke,
Rose undismayed,
saluted Death-and sheathed his blade,
The Conqueror of a hundred fields
To mightier Conqueror yields;
No mortal foeman's blow
Laid the Great Soldier low;
Victor in his latest breath
Vanquished but by Death.

The following amendment was proposed
by the Committee:
In Remarks ad T a "Renewal Of horses,
purchase offs horses pa. a $225. 81, 123",
to be deducted a sum Of $500 in the total
of Sl,125, whereby the expense will be re
duced to 1925.
The Governor said he had had no objec-
tiOns against the amount gained by the
sale of military horses being deducted from
the amount in the Budget for the purchase
of horses, provided the Government has
free hands in the use of the amount de-
Quoted for new purchases. In SO far as it
is proposed By the Committee to strike out
$500. as the probable value Of 5 horses to
be sold, he would beg to state that this
year there had by public auction been
sold Z horses, which did not bring more
than about $3.50. 1t wOald be requisite
that the difference between this amount
and the Committees $500 be added in the
Bill, so that the amount remaining or the
bill, after the deduction, be LETT at the
disposal of the Government to buy 5 horses,
together with the deducted amount OF
1868.
The Speaker: The amount is posted as
a calculatory item and it was supposed
that the horses to be sold could bring a
price at an average OF $50; but as it is so
that I horses sold have given no more
than 1865, OF course no more than that
sum could be deducted in the purchase
sum Of new horses and he would there
fore beg on behalf Of the Committee to re
commend the Governors proposal to that
effect.
The Governor would beg to make a re-
Servation in regard to the form in which
it is proposed to deduct the amount for
sale of old horses. The amount gained by
the sale will Of course go into the Colonial
Treasury, from which all the expenditure
will be betrayed, including this for the
purchase of new horses. The proposal in
the form given 10y the Committee might
involve some trouble or at least some de-
Walton in the rule for the public book
keeping, and he must confess that when
he agreed to the Committees proposal he
had overlooked the fact just mentioned.
The Government would of course not use
more than just the cost of the new horses
but when the item is posted as now pro
posed, there could scarcely be said to be
q grant for that sum. But the amount
gained by the sale of the old horses should,
as customary on such occasions, be posted
among the Revenue, and it will be found
in time on the Accounts.
The Speaker said, the Committee could
have no objection to the deduction being
made in another way than that proposed
by the Committee, if only the amount to be
gained by the sale really be posted as an
income, which has not been done in the
Draft. The matter should be arranged in
the right way.
