heath of Mrs. Covardin.

Mr.. Charles OBJ. Cowardin, presi-
dent of the Dispatch Company, re-
ceived the hardest blow of his life yes
terday in the death of his wife, which
occurred at lao O'Clock p. NJ. A
wasting illness had left her with but
slender thread Of life, and that quietly
parting, loosed her gentle spirit from
its mortal tenement, and plunged at
once husband, children, mother, father,
sisters, and brothers, and an extensive
circle of friends, into the deepest sor-
row. Mrs. Cowardin's maiden name
was Miss Kate Evans, and her age was
twenty-Six. She was daughter Of
Colonel Thomas j. Evans, and was one
of seven children, and hers is
the first death in the family.
Her personal beauty, great as it was,
could not rival the goodness of her
heart, the grace Of her manner, and the
tenderness with which she met friends
and acquaintances. She was a light in
her circle--a bright and happy little
woman-but the lustre of her character
appeared better still when she was
seen, as often she was, shedding about
her upon others less fortunate some Of
the joyousness Of her young life. She
was the victim of disease--consump-
tiOn-which, though developed in the
last year of her life, was steady and re.
lentlesS in its ravages, and months ago
it forewarned those about her that it
was VIGOROUSLY speeding on its course.
A week ago from the trembling lips Of
her nurse she heard that she had passed
all hope; that she must leave her dear
home here and look for happiness in
Heaven. She received the news brave
Iy, shedding tears at the thought of
breaking from husband, childrea,
mother, and all, but declaring in good
heart that it was no doubt "all for the
best" Her mind was unclouded,
though at times she was feverish
and suffered from sleeplessness. Under
the influence Of anodynes she passed
her last night on earth very peacefully,
and the sleep thus gotten brought with
it what some Of those about her sup
posed was an improvement; but it was
only the last flicker, and at LAO p. N.
she died the death of a Christian-re-
signed, hoping, loving, and the peace
which was in the heart was pictured on
the face consolation for the be-
reayed ones an evidence that Faith had
triumphed over Death.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row afternoon at 3 o'clock from St.
Peters Cathedral.

Decent Burial for Poor People.

At the last meeting Of the Common
Council Mr.. Bryan offered a resolution
providing for the decent and proper
conduct Of funerals of poor persons
buried at the city's expense. 1t is
said that these funerals, not because OF
any fault Of the officers in charge, are
often conducted with haste and in a
manner without rituaD unbecoming a
Christian community. This resolution
was referred to the Committee on Or
dinances. A meeting Of this commit
tee was held yesterday afternoon, and
the matter was referred to a sub-com-
mittee, with instructions to report at
the next meeting of the Council.

question was raised whether or not it
was competent to consider this bill at
that time, the Senate having adopted a
resolution to consider local bills on
Wednesday and Friday Of this week.
The resolution was reported aud read,
"tbat local bills be considered as far
as practicable, &C., The Chair decided
that the resolution did not preclude the
consideration of this bill.
The question recurred on an amend

modified by Mr.. Diggs, which provided
that in no county or magisterial district

Monster Potatoes.

James @. Morrison, who occupies the
old Denny farm n9ar St. James church,
Mill Creek Hundred, left at our ON q
on Tuesday afternoon thirteen POTATOES,
of the variety known as Chill Whites,
which 6lled half bushel. II Is not
often that 30 many large tubers can be
found together, and we must confess
that we have never sesn them equalled
the largest one weighing over three
D ,unds. Mr.. Morrison furnished james
Morrow three buihels of these pota-
toes o few days ago, who forwarded
tn en- to friend in ireland to show
what can be done in potato growing In
this country. Mr.. Morrison claims thai
his crop the past season yielded evel
800 bushels to the acre. They wert
planted ON upland, which had beer
! DIRE ,sed with stable mapure, about thu
first OF June, and Notwithstanding thu
dry weather grew vigorously. We d.
not believe that another man in tn
Safe was favored with such q crop.

Pensloning Rebel Soldiers.

Some Of the papers In the North are
disposed to criticise the action Of the
Mississippi Legislature in passing An
not granting pension Of thirty dollars
o year to all x-Confederates In that
State who lost an arm or leg in the
service OF the Confederacy. We are
not disposed to look with disfAvor upon
such action, In fact ws think 1t lie rather
meritorlous ON the part OF Mississippi,
when com pared with the refusal OF the
State and the people to punish men
who take human lives by the dozen for
po III al purposes. II the people OF .
State choose to tax themselves for any
purpose whatever for the benefit OF any
portion Of their own people, 1t is their
own affair and no possible concern to
the people Of any other State. T1ere Is
no provision In the amendments to the
Constitution, nor in any OF the acts of
Congress, that makes the pensioning Of
Confederate soldiers by any Of the
States illegal. 1t Is creditable 10 the
people OF Mississippi that they are
Willing 70 do something for those who
suffered most In the atnsmPt OF that
and other States to destroy the Union.

Morrison and Wool.

Mr.. Morrison, IL seems, viii never
be happy II he does not get some altera
Mons in the tariff. II there 10 only
ever 20 small q change made 1t viii
eatisfy his woanded honor. He started
out ut the commencement OF the pres
emit Congress to overhaul the whole
tariff, BY leveline up and leveline
do wn, mostly the latter, but his
scheme touched 90 many vital indus
trial interests that he was compelled u
Rive M the contest Bat Morrison had
10 do something or be ridiculed BY his
constituents and Knocked by the free
traders oil over the country. Yes,
something had to be done. He could
not make war upon the sugar interests
without offending his friends In Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas. He
could not attack the rice and cotton in
tsrests without injury to the solid
Democratic rice and cotton growing
States OF the South. He has learned
even TO 10 slow upon the iron and
steel industries since Virginia, Ten
Msssee and Alabama have commenced
competing with Pennsylvania In Il
production Of Bessemer steel and Iron
rails. Where then could he strike 70
do the least injury to hts party? In
Ohio OF course, and wool must come
down. There 10 no more hope Of a
Democrats anyhow In OHIO since hot
est elections are to be held in the large
cities OF the State, and there the fight
for free wool must be made. II only
Morrison can get free wool he will be
we'll satisfied. He can then say he goI
n change in the tariff laws and he will
be content for this session OF Congress
ct least.
But Morrison Is striking at vita
live interest when he Is striking q
wool. Wooilen manufactures arr
scattered all over the country and tn
woollen industry 10 second only to thu
cotton industry, which Morris IN leave
severely alone. Morrison and othel
free traders tell the manufacturers tina
they can get cheaper foreign wool, bu
the manufacturers with wonderful
unanimlty are rushing to Washington
10 tell Morrison to let wool alone. rh
sheep gro Wers of the country, too, hav
Joined In the demand to let wool alone
Either Morrison Is wrong or the shee
growers and woollen manufacturers ar
wrong, and 1t Is but reasonable TO sup
pose that the latter know what Is bette
for their interests than Mr.. Morriso
does
