GRAVES OF TWO POETS.
Mr.. Cowles Visits the Resting Places
Of Keats and Shelley.

The following letter written by Mr..
W, &. Cowles to an Abilene ncquaint
ance will he Of particular interest just
now when so much attention Is being
attracted to Keats and Shelley,
ROME, Italy, August 3.-When ]
reached this city took the first avail
able opportunity to visit the graves of
Keats and Shelley, The Protestant
cemetery is Just outside the Oity and
there are several divisions of the
ground. This central portion is the
one most occupied. 1t Is small and
irregularly laid out with no admission
for carriages. A bug iron gate at the
entrance is opened by sexton upon
the visitor ringing bell and paying
small fee. This particular part Of the
ground lies on the side of n hill and
the incline from the gate TO the back of
the ground is so sharp that rough steps
OF stone are used. The ground is pro-
fusely supplied with tall and very
shapely pine trees. At the extreme
back of tue ground under the shadow
of an old ruined wall of the later
Roman period, amid wild, ulkrmpt
surroundings lies Shelley and near him
his intimate friend, Trelawney. Shell
ley's grave issmarked by a white stone
lying Hat upon The ground and cover
ing the top of the grave, no other
monument. The sexton informed me
in mOngrel French that his body WAS
recovered after drowning, his heart
taken out aud buried here and the rest
OF his body burned. From the slab l
copied the following strange lines;
| "Nothing OF him shat doth fade
Tut doth sunsr sea change
Into something rich aud strange"
Keats grave Is In separate division
Of the cemetery lying north of the
portion described. To get to 1t one
must go out OF the big gate across a
field and into another gate. This part
is mvre desoltte than the other. Tue
whole thing is surrounded by moat
but has 10 fence. The gate is of In
the corner, the frame is stone and tue
gate is of wood with big iron lock.
The gate looks ancient but unattrac
tive. Stepping through the gate aud
turning to the right we tind a little
plat of ground about feet square
raised with coping aOoat q inches
above tue grouni level and strown
with gravel. The plat is right at the
edge OF the moat In front. Upon II
are two graves, Keats aud his artist
friend, Severn. L sch mas small but
pretty white headstOne, the grA Yes
yiUg between tbs heid'tones aud the
moat, heads IN the East. From Keats
headslone secured the following rathel

on his death bed, In the bitterness al
bis heart at the malicious power OF hi
enemies, desired these words Ia h

CGAsE CRY. Va, March 2i.--It comes 70
high. now that there was considerable
discrepancy in the measurement OF the
Atlantic and Danville railroad for the
county bonds issued at $1,000 per mile
and the present estimate Of its length Tor
taxation. II the latter distance through
the county is correct there has been an
over-issue Of bonds OF $4,000 or $4,000.
Nv informant stated that the matter was
being investigated.
NO HEART Oh HOPE.
One OF the most prominent and intuen-
tial politicians Of this county told me
court-day that il Cleveland was nominated
az Chicago he would feel as If the Demo.
cracy was leading forlorn hope. lie would
vote for him. but have no heart or hope IN
the canvass.
The farmers are making large prepare,
tions for crop of tobacco. More land
has been cleared than usual. and agents OF
fertilizers say the demand for their goods
will be much heavier than formerly.
The publication Of the Mecklenbdrg
Ne,cs has been revived az Boydton and
the iSo'ahside alliance newspaper has be-
come defunct, after brief, precarious eA-
istence.
Mr.. George Smith. not far from here, in
Lunenburg, IL reported TO have made $50
bushels of Irish potatoes from 20 acres.
II his measurement was correct the potato
o. paying crop would exceed the hDest
product Of the golden leaf tobacco. Our
home production OF potatoes Is never sui
tclent for home consumption.
DIVERSITY.
A Kentuckian remarked 10 me Yesterday
be was not surprised at the farmers IN Nir-
ginIa not being more prosperous. They
bought potatoes. -four. bay, corn-meal,
seed.oats &C., and sold tobacco as the
chief money crop. This was his observa-
ton from the country stores and towns he
had seen. They are now realizing, how
ever that a diversity Of crops and TO raIse
what they Consume are essential TO keep
their heads above water.
PROSPERITY.
Ny observation is that the country peo-
pie have more new buildings, use better
vehicles, ladies dress better. and more
money is spent for luxurles than ever be-
tore. The quantity Of new furniture
bought now by the country people would
be amazing TO old timers.
1t is proposed to make new school dis
trIct Of this town. With population OF
over 900. its own school trustees. and the
funds arising from taxation on town pro:
perty used within its limits, there would
be superior educational facilities afforded
here IN public school OK high grade.

A Lawyer withdraws from a Case.

The most interesting case that has been
heard in the Police Court since the breezy
holiday times was that OF Henry Golden, a
negro of exceedingly dark type, charged
with the betrayal of Caroline Harris under
promise of marriage, which came up be-
fore Justice Crutchfeld yesterday MORN
inp. Since the accused paid his respects to
Caroline he met one Adeline Blair and mar
RED her. Golden ana his spouse each en-
gagged counsel the former securing tie
services of Giles b. jackson, and the lat
fer those OF Messrs. S. Il. CHM and Alfred
e. Cohen. The Harris woman was repre-
sented by Hon. ID. Q. Richardson. In the
opening Of the case wrangle ensued be-
tween the counsel for the. defence, and
Giles jackson arose and announced that
as he could not satisfactorily conduct the
examination with Messrs. CHM and Cohen
he would withdraw. Mr. Ginn explained
how he and his young colleague became
connected with the case and the investiga-
ton proceeded.
Six or seven witnesses testified and the
accused was sent on to the Hastings Court
for Indictment by the grand jury.
Margaret Morris (colored), charged with
stealing articles Of clothing, was also sent
on to the grand jury
