The Death Of Commodore semnes.

EDITOR CRITIC: The paragraphs in THE
CRITIC last night in reference to the death
of Commodore Semmes are so entirely in
correct that / am sure you will take pleas
ure in correcting the false impression they
have produced.
Commodore Semmes received no pistol
shot wound in the abdomen, neither was he
suffering from peritonitis That story is
out Of the whole cloth. He was suffering
from congestion of the liver, caused by eX-
posure in the line Of duty to pernicious eli
matte influences and especially from two
attacks of yellow fever, contracted directly
in the line Of duty His health had been
precarous for long while. He sought to
rcinstate 1t by sojoun at Hamilton and.
was doing fairly well when in a moment of
temporary alteration he took his life by
cutting his throat The facts, as you see,
are quite sad enough.
There was evidently no premeditation,
and the Commodore was not more de-
spondent than man of his age weakened
by disease would likely he under the cir
cumstanccs. ONE VINO KNOWS.

THE DAUGHTER OF MENDOZA.

oh, lend me. sweet nightingale,
Your music by the fountains,
And lend TO me your cadences,
o rover OF the mountains,
That may sing, my gay brunette,
a diamond spark in coral set,
Gem for princes COrOnet,
Sweet daughter Of Mendoza.
How brilliant Is the morning star
The evening star how tender;
The light of both Is In her eyes
Their soitness and their splendor.
But for the lash that shades their light
They We're too dazzling for the sight,
And when she shuts them all Is night,
Sweet daughter Of Mendoza
Oh, ever bright and beauteous one,
BoWiderlng and beguilng,
The lutte Is In thy silver tone,
The rainbow In thy smiling
And there ts, too, DER hill and dell,
The bounding of the young gaZelle
The arrows flight and oceans swell,
Sweet daughter Of Mendoza.
What though perchance we meet no moreg
What though too soon we seyerY
Thy form viii hoat like emerald light
Before my vision ever.
For who can see and then forget
The glOries of my gay brunettei
Thou art too bright a star to set,
Fair daughter of Mendoza.

1T Is little late, but we knew that
we would hear something from Mr..
Higgins about Mr.. Eaton's retirement
from the Civil. Service Board. lie is
almost tickled to death by it. lie says
that he will fairly have to hold back
his friends who want him to be Mr..
Eaton's successor. If he were in the
place vacated by Mr.. Eaton he thinks
he could frame set of rules that
would give the Government iirst-class
clerks, and at the same time dispense
with the services of every man who did
not support Mr.. Cleveland last year.
We believe he could. All things tend
ing to substitute Democrats for Re.
publicans are possible TO Mr.. Higgins
He is unique and wide-reaching in his
efforts against Republican incumbcnts.

LAST WEEK was our week This
week seems to have been the English
man. week. The Puritan defeated the
Gencsta and the Philadelphia cricket
eleven beat the visiting Englishmen
last week. This week the Englishmen
have beaten the New York cricketors
and the Gcncsta has won the Brenton' s
Reef Cup. All of which shows that
the English-spealling people are the
greatest race on the face of the globe.

1.-THE DAUGHTER OF MENDOZA"

The Daughter OF Mendoza, one OF
the sweetest poems in any language,
appeared in the New York Sun yester-
day and was credited, on the authority
of a correspondent of that paper, to
Secretary Lamar of the Interior De
partment. This little gem is repro
duced at intervals, and q number of
authors, among them Mr. George w.
Gable, have been awarded the honor of
its composition, but this is the first
time, we believe, that Mr.. l.. @. c.
Lamar has enjoyed the distinction.
The Secretary says that he has been
charged with almost everything, but he
desires it to be distinctly understood
that he was never once guilty of perpe-
trating a piece Of poetry and all
through his life has left the muses. Sc
vcrcly alone. The real writer of "The
Daughter Of Mendoza" was distin-
guished member of the Lamar family,
however, and bore conspicuous part,
both as statesman and general, in the
early history of the Republic of Texas
lie fought at San Jacinto and the
Alamo and was the second president of
the new born Commonwealth. There
are people in Washington yet living
no doubt who remember when Mira
beau Il. Lamar visited the National
Capital and was entertained by Presi-
dent Tyler. He was a great and gal
liant man, as well as true poet, ma
tive of Georgia and an uncle of the
present Secretary of the Interior, who
though not a Parnassian climber him
self, has certainly no reason to be
ashamed of the relationship General
Lamar's poems were published some
years ago more for the satisfaction OF
his friends than for general circulation
but the book is now rare.

WASHINGTON, D. G., SEPT. 90, 1885,
A RIGmTEOus VERDICT.

1t is pity that the proverbially swift
justice of New Jersey is not spread out
over the whole United States. Cases
of brutal treatment of children are by
no means infrequent in all parts of the
country; but we seldom hear of con
viction following their discovery--still
more seldom of adequate punishment
being mcted out to the offenders. New
Jersey is a shining exception.
One Mrs. Hendricks of New Bruins.
wick, in that State, took an orphan
girl from charity institution into her
house and iuhumanly maltreated the
child. She was arrested and convicted
on two charges, one of simple assault
and the other of atrocious assault. The
details of the case were simply horri-
BILE. When the prisoner was arraigned
for Judgment the iudge-his name was
Cowenhoven, and may his tribe in
crease-frst listened to an appeal for
mercy from Mrs. Hendricks and then
sentenced the inhuman wretch to pay
fine of 81 900 and costs and to ten
years Imprisonment at hard labor in
the States prison.
A few such rigorous administrations
of justice upon similar offenders else
where would do more toward prevent
ing cruelty TO children than all the So
cieties ever organized for that purpose.

Plants for Winter.
Correspondence Country Gentleman.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
1t is not needful to take into the house large
variety of plants; a few will make bettes
show, if we'll selected. Fuchsias of the winter
blooming kinds, such as Carl Halt, speciosa,
lustre, and Earl of Beaconsfeld, white, pink and
crimson ADDITIONS, white and purple heliotropes,
double and single geraniums. begonias in variety,
bouvardias coral pink and double white, and
tea roses Bon Sene, Bella and some of the
hybrid teas-will give constant supply OF
flowers for the incement season. A few plants
of bright foliage like the eoleus-achyranthe
and alternanthera-wil give brilliant color To
collection of plants, and always place two OF
three of them upon the brackets to ght ND the
ouner plants. Alternantheras are pretty,
dwarf plants of parti-colored foliage which
will live and grow in deem
glass dish filled with water, and placed on
a side-table Then in the spring you can raise
fifty or more plants from one by breaking off
small branches and slipping them in pxr Of
sandy loan, or in a hot-bed By this means YOU
can obtain handsome bordering for foiiaga
bed another season without COST and with very
little trouble.
few bulbs are pleasing addition to tina
window garden. Hyacineths. cyclamens, mar
clssus, ixias, Bermuda lilies, and Due Won Tno2
tulips can all be planted late in October or early
in November, and they bloom in beauty ana
fragrance in the depth of winter The bulbs
must first be allowed to shoot forth roots i'm
sand, or in glasses In dark, cool cellar or clos
ct for three weeks before they are brought into
the light. If the hyacinth buds cling closely To
the leaves, twist up cone of paper and cut off
the top slightly. and put over them to make tha
stem shoot upward.
