KEYS.

Long ago in the old Granada, when the Moors
were forced 20 fee,
Each man locked his home behind him, taking
in his flight the key,
Hopefully they watched and waited for the
time 10 come when they
Should return from their long exile to those
homes so far away.
But the mansions In Granada they had left in
all their prime
Vanished as the years rolled onward meath
the crumbling touch Of time.
Like the Moors, we all have dwellings whore
we V0iply long To be,
And through all life's changing phases ever
fast We hold the key.
Our fair country lies behind us; we are oxiles,
too, In truth
For no more shall we behold her. Our
Granada's name is Youth
We have no deluslye daydroams, and rejoice
when now ana then
Some old heart string stirs within us, and We
feel our youth again,
Eve are young we cry triumphant, thrilled
with old-time Joy and gloe
Then the dream fades slowly, softly, leaving
nothing but the key

WASHINGTON, D. G., OCT 80, /
MRS. GRANTS LETTER.

In answer to an inquiry concerning
the matter made 10y Vice President
Grace of the Grant Monument Asso.
citation, Mrs. Grant assigns four roa.
sons for the intermcnt of her hu3-
bands remains at Riverside Park,
which may also be considered a5 de-
fnitcly settling the question Of their
permanently remaining therc--lt least,
as long as the widow continues of
the same opinion as at present
Mrs. Grant says that New York
was selected as the Generals burial
place, because she believed it to be
his preference, which, if true, is a con
elusive argument in ITSELF further
more, because she desired the place
of intermcnt to be as near as posi-
BILE to her place of residence, which
is certainly natural and wifely feel
ing. Again, she believes that the To-
cation selected is rs convenient rs any
that could be named for pilgrims from
all parts of the Union, desiring to
visit the tomb of the Old Commander;
and finally, the proposition received
from New York was the only one
which assentcd to General Grants cx-
press condition, that wherever he was
buried, the remains of Mrs. Grant
should be permitted to rest beside him.
These views will, perhaps, be disap-
pointing to the expectations of many Of
our Washington friends, but rs the
Washington people made no effort
worth speaking of to bring about a
different conclusion, they have no
reasonable cause of complaint, 1t is
possible that Congress may, some day
or other, take some action in the matter
in the nature of an appeal to Mrs
Grant to consent to the removal of her
husbands s remains TO the National
Capital, but even Congress should
hesitate to take any step that might
seem in the slightest degree obtrusive
upon what as long as Mrs. Grant lives,
must be matter entirely private to
herself and too sacred for public debate.

the last one we will have this year with

The Manchester linton says; "1he
best thing Boston can do is to ship its
Bowdoin-Square Chnrch to Salt Lake,
G. o. D." This might be a good rid

wide distinction between the Brigham
Young system with its plurality of a
mans own wives and the Pastor
Downes system with its plurality of
other mems wives.

SENATOR SHERMAN, down in Vir-

as ever scuttled ship, and Judge
Foraker as gentle a seraph as ever cut

The Georgia Legislature has Just
closed its session, and the items of its
contingent expenses are being scrutin-
izcd, We fear that the Georgia Legis.
lOture has begun to initiate the National
Legislative body. 1t spent @iG0.00 for
Ponce de Leon water, which is the
Georgia Apollonaris, and only $40 for
"well water" But the Legislature is
not entirely bad. 1t spent some money
for necessary and sensible articles. For
instance, It bought two cakes of soap
at ten cents cake, making the total
expenditure for cleansing purposes
twentY cents.

THERE was big rain in Brooklyn
last night, but that did not interfere
with the Democratic ratification meet
ing. Rain never dampcns Democratic
ardor, and the Brooklyn Academy Of
Music was packed with enthusiastic
Democrats. They were enthusiastic to
commence with, but it would take a
stronger word to describe their feel
ines after Senator Voorhees,, who was
one Of the speakers, had got through.
Mr.. Voorhees, made one of his breezy,
Wabash speeches, which catch a po-
lticol meeting as his pathetic plcadings
bring into camp twelve honest men in
a trial by jury. If he could have the
ear of New Yorll's vote for an hour
before election Mr.. Hill would be sent
back to Albany with u whoop.

A RUSSIAN ADVANCE.
A Force Said To BE Moving Along the Murg-
hab Toward Peuideh.

hab Toward Penjdeh.
LONDON, April 13--Advices from Tirpul state
that news has been received there that the
Russians are advancing along the line of the
Murghab river in the direction Of Penjdeh.
This telegram shows the value Of the
Russian assurances. There is no reason why
the Russians should not soon be under the walls
Of Herat One noticeable point of General
Komaroff's statement is that the English en-
coaraged the Afghans. 1t is against the English
that the Russian advance along the Murghab
river is now made.
Up to an early hour this morning the govern
ment had received no further dispatches from
st. Petersburg
The Daily News, in editorial this morning,
says that it is not likely the government will
make any statement of its policy in Parliament
tonight, but that it will simply announce the
details of the dispatching of the reserves. If
General Komarof's statement be correct, it, of
course, shifts the blame upon the Afghans; but
it is difficult to reconcile his statement with the
fact that neither Sir Peter Lumsden nor Capt
Yates, who must know the facts, mentions the
circumstances as reported by General Komaroff
1t is reported that council of war has been
held at St Petersburg at which the Gar pre-
sided, and that the Gar has appointed General
Komarof commander-in-chief in Turkestan,
and has issued orders to push $4,000 troops to
the Afghan border.
