THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
BY RICHARD r. BURTON

They do neither plight nor wed In the city of the dead, Tn the city where they sleep away the hours, But they lie, while OCT them range Winter blight and summer change, And hundred happy whisperlngs of flower 7. No they neither wed nor plight, And the day is like the night, For their vision Is of Sther kind than ours. They do neither sing nor sigh In the burgh of by and by, Where the streets have grasses growing, cool and long;
 But they rest within their bed, Leaving all their thoughts unsaid, Deeming silence better far than sob or song No they neither sigh nor sing, .i hough the robin be a-wlng, Though the leave es of autumn march a million strong.
 There is only rest and peace In the City of Surcease, From the fallings and the wailings meath the sun.
 And the wings of the swift years Beat gently OCT the biers, Making music to the sleepers, every one. There Is only peace at rest; But to them It seemeth best, For they lie at ease and know that life IS done

A Few Corrections.
To Ms Editor of The Arkan.aw Tyavelsr

To the Editor of The Arkansasc Travelsr;
 The short article entitled "Within Thirty Years," reprinted from the New York Graphic in THE TRAvELER of the 18th ult., contains almost as many errors as statements.
 Philip Sheridan did not hope to come out of the war captain. He was already captain.
 Lee was not at the head of a univer- sity, but a high officer in the army when the war begun.
 Lincoln was well enough known as early as 1856 to receive nearly two hundred votes for vice. president in the convention which nominated Ere mont and Dayton.
 'Chase, as 6 candidate for president, lett the Republican side" and swung clean over to the Democracy.
 Zach Chandler never was secretary of war. He was secretary of the inte- rior. He may have been "a rather humble" senator, whatever that may mean, but he was for years one of the leaders In his party in and out of the senate.
 Excepting these errors, and perhaps one or two others I have not noticed, the article referred to is measurably correct. DIoGENEs JONES.
 seward certainly was no better known statesman than Douglas, or Davis, or Toombs, or Breckinridge.

 less, it cannot be denied (unfortun- ately) that there are times and seasons when an adjective or an adverb is like an apple of gold in a picture of silver, and nothing else quite equals it.
 But adjectives and adverbs, as nor- mally employed, are still not ade- Quate to the requirements of modern writers, who, therefore resort to two expedients, as follows: either they give the adjective or adverb without the verb, as, instead of writing sNo,' said John, firmly" they omit the ''said John," and the sentence becomes "'No,' firmly" They hold this to be more direct and forcible; hold it to be vile atfectation, whereby noth- ing is gained, and almost everything, except ink and paper, is lest. The second expedient is to employ a "portmanteau" word, which shall be at once verb and an adverb. Now, as regards many of these words, 1t must be conceded that they are legiti- mate and even desirable; partly be- cause custom has sanctioned them, partly because they save circumlo- cution, partly because they enhance the perspicacity of the narrative. On the other hand, come of them are not legitimate, and can never become so, no matter by whom or how often they are used. One of our otherwise best writers is occasionally chargeable with this fault it is almost the only blot upon his admirable productions. He wishes, for example, to indicate that John, in replying to proposi- tion, did so with haste. He might have used either one of several ad- verbs-"hastily," quickly" trap idly" abruptly" or even, if his con- science will allow him, swiftly" But no: instead of saying, "'No,' re- piled John, quickly" he deliberately gives us, "'No,' sped John." l cannot comment upon this deed; can only, with sorrow, record it.
 The thing might be less inexcusable if there were less extensive list of legitimate portmanteau verbs to se- lect from. Perhaps few people know how many of these there are. Here are some of the alternatives of "said' and "replied," which may be used without too much violating the de- cencies of compositions
 Remarked, observed, quotb, cried exclaimed, ventured, hazarded, de. clarcd, murmured, added, continued resumed, went on, interposed, inter. rupted, intimated, put iu, insinuated interjected, interpolated, persisted, in ! sisted, commented, pursued, pro. claimed, propounded, proposed, com. manded, ordered, suggested, assever' ated, began, ended, concluded, pro ceeded, predicted, speculated, calcu' lated, ,conjectured, descanted, beloved roared, growled, thundered, squeaked squealed, howled, cracked, whined whimpered, crowed, parked, snapped croaked, hissed, gibbered, gurgled warbled, cooed, chattered, grunted rumbled, boomed, spluttered, sang out, joined in, intoned, broke in, broke out, mouthed out, broke forth, asked besought, answered, rejoined, echoed argued, admitted, thought, wondered snickered, moaned, jeered.
 This is less than one- third of th' list had prepared; and yet writer will use "sped." Surely there arr good and cheap tailors enough, with out resorting to the slop- shops of thu Bowery.-America
