The Confederate Dead.

Where rolls the lOrdly Shenandoah his
mighty tide along,
Thro' valleys deep. where sweet winds sleep.
and clust'ring how'rets throng;
Where mighty mountains rear their heads
70 kiss the sunny sky,
Or meath their shade Ia dell and glade, Viz
glnias heroes lie;
Where countless thousands rest In throngs,
or where none else Il near.
Who're ceassless Sound e'er breathes around,
or Silence guards the bier,
Where sunlight lives thro' all the day, or
whore the shadows reign.
In slumbcr deep there lie asleep VIrginia's
heroes slain.
Where lofty columns proudly rise. to mark
the hallowed spot
Where Ruin rcignS and Tine profoneS the
grave long since forgot;
Where eager footsteps press 10 pay their
homage 10 the great
Or where unknown they slumber on, while
angels bOut them wait;
Whereer the battles wrath has ragged,
wherever knights have died,
Wherc'er for right, men in the fight have
east their lives aside,
Where'cr heroes dared to meet the danger
OF the fray.
Vlrglnla's brave have found a grave to hold
their sacred clay.
Where gentle valleys onward stretch, or
rugged mountains frOWn.
Where sunlight beams on quiet streams, or
floods come tumbling down,
Where Plenty smiles thrC'out the year, or
Want and Famine stand,
Whcre'cr the trust CT heroes dust Is gwen
10 the land:
Where Peace forever holds her court. with
all its sweet delights.
Or thunder crash and lightning fash the
covering crowd anrights-
Where gloomy clouds above them lower, or
plying heavens weep
In noble rest upon her breast Virginas
heroes sleep.
And where the James mid mountains rolls'
or Slldes On to the sea,
It's ripping waves flow 10y the graves OF
her proud cnivalry;
From Richmond sitting on her hills to
jamestown on the plain,
From lowland York, 10 mountain Clarke,
reach on the glorious irain
From dark Manassas twicefought field 10
AppOmattoX gloom
Some valiant son has struggled on, 10 ma
Where Jackson fell upon the plain, or Car
nett IN the skies
In glorious sleep, well earned and deep,
some dead Yirgin,an Hes.
But whether on the mountain top or on the
hOwery plain,
The valiant keep, their last long sleep, how
grandly sleep the slain.
Above their grave the sweet winds sing a
tender lullaby,
And DER the soul throws sweet control that
bushes every sigh:
The murmuring waters WOO 10 sleep and
still each troubled breast,
And cen the sun shines brighter on the
couch whereOn they rest;
Fame sets her sentries AT their graves, and
there with nOiseess tread
Bright Glcry's guard keeps watch and ward

to the fact that in the case of the agricultural
products il was placed on the market sill at
once, and it was impossible to handle it in
the ordinary course Of trade. Unless some
means was devised TO dispose of it, prices
would become very much depressed. The
facility Of sale for future delivery in the case
OF ungraded grain was what kept the prices
from, sinking out OF sight The impression
that the sale Of wind, as it is termed, depresses
prices is wrong, as that man became n buyer
on the lookout to buy to cover his shorts.
The discussion brought out a good many Of
the phases OF stock gambling. and the members
OF the board were evidently very much inter
ested. Mr. Davis, as the opponent OF the stock
speculation. was answered first by Mr.. Bacon
and then by Mr.. Raymond. The latter repu-
dated the statement that on the exchange wind
Is sold. In fact he said, the Spectator was
the friend of the producer and was the only
one that stood between the farmer and the
foreign buyer with his low prices
ihe discussion went on until the chair an
nounced that the hour for going to the White
House had arrived. The board thereupon took
recess until o'clock. The delegates pro-
ceeded in a body to the White House, where
they were received by the President.

names on a warrant in the Police Court today,

A USE FOR THE TUNNEL.
DR.. Taylor Thinks 1t Might Make q Good

DE-. Taylor Thinks 1t Might Make q Good
Place to Grow Mushrooms.
The following letter from DR.. Thomas TAYLOR
was recently received by the Commissioners:
herewith propose a method of utilizing
the Washington tunnel: 1t is a suitable place
for mushroom culture provided 1t can be kept
dry or even any very considerable portion of
1t, In imitation of the mushroom growers of
France. In France mushrooms are widely Gull
tyated. A cave at Merry is mentioned as ex-
tending twenty-one miles. producing 5000
pounds daily, worth in that country at
retail prices as many dollars. The cata-
lty and caves in various parts of
France produce immense quantities of mush-
rooms. This industry is all under government
supervision and is regularly inspected like
mines. The mushroom grown in the instances
given is mostly the Snow Ball." scientifically
known as Agaricus arvensis. Schaeff, France.
IN 1872 exported of one speceis Of mushroom to
the amount OF 3,OOO. OOO francs and in 1879 the
exports of this mushroom amounted to nearly
1O,OO0, 600 francs. The tunnel might be rented

mushroom growing, one of the simplest and

unknown. Fertilizer. the most expensive item
connected with mushroom growing, is now
collected daily IN clean and proper condition
suitable for the purpose from the asphalt pave
ments OF Warrington, and might he sold at a
low rate to the grower.

Yesterday afternoon the grand jury found an
indictment against George q. Shredder Of 637
I street for false pretenses and he was brought
into the Criminal Court, arraigned and plead
not guilty. The specific charge is that he in
duced Charles Newbold 10 invest in .

appeared for Mr.. Shredder and asking that bail
be fixed Justice Bradley fixed the amount %

The republican state central committee met
at the Dennison House in Indianapolis yester-
day and reelected John K. Gowdy, chairman;
Frank Milligan, secretary, and Horace Mckay,
treasurer. District conventions for the selec-
ton Of delegates TO the Minneapolis convention
were called for March 8. state convention
to choose four delegates at large was
fixed for indianapolis. March 10, and q con-
vention to nominate state officers for June
2S. simultaneously with tho meeting of the
state committee a conference Of about 100 re.
publican leaders from all over the state was
held in the Dennison pariors, at which the Hon.
Stanton J. Steele presided and Col. Wilkins
acted as secretary. At this conference short
speeches were made, the general drift of which
was that the party was in splendid condition
and prospects for success were good. But
once during the speeches was President Harri-
sons name mentioned, and then it was received
with liberal applause. There seemed general
understanding that no reference should be
made to the recent exciting contests at the dis
trict conventions and none was made. The con-
ference and the committee were both composed
largely Of those who favor the denomination Ut
President Harrison. No resolutions were
adopted by either body.
