How a Fenian was Buried
[st Abaus Correspondence of the Boston Herald.


During the afternoon yester.
day, a flag of truce was sent to
the brook, for the purpose OF
requesting the privilege of tax
ing off the dead body Of young
Bowe. This was refused, and
the body lay upon the ground
all night.


This morning, when the de.
parture Of the Fenians was
learned, the Canadians came
down in large numbers, and the
corpse was dragged by the hail
of the head to the hill, where
the valiant subjects of Her Maj.
esty were entrenched, and neal
there the body was buried, the
remains being thrown into the
grave without blanket OF cover
Of any kind.


Not content with this, a
monument of rocks three OF
four feet high, and weighing
between one and two tons, was
piled on top Of the summit GOV.
cred with d bottle. This was
subsequently, removed by some
body with more feeling thar
the brute who placed it there
but the rocks remained.

and fro around the grave du-
ring the day, and while on the
other side Of the line your cor

Only thirteen Radical votes
could be obtained in the House
of Representatives on Monday
for a resolution in favor of a
general amnesty; but the coun-
ter'proposition, a bill imposing
penalties upon all who may ven
ture to advise OF influence ne
groes or other Radicals to vote
an opposition ticket, at any poll
was rushed through the same
body without debate, under the
previous question. Many Re-
publicans have professed to be.
lieve-and some, we suppose,
have actually cherished the ex.
pectations-that the adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment
would be made the occasion
for a sweeping removal of po-
litical disabilities, and the en-
franchisement Of the white peo-
pie of South. There was an
expectation widely entertained,
if not a direct promise, that the
proclamation of the negro
amendment would be followed
at once by a message from the
President urging upon Congress
the immediate passage of an
amnesty act. Every consider
alton of sound policy and en-
lightened craftsmanship GER
talnly demands such an act; but
the infatuated crew of malig.
nants who rule Congress for
the moment are little affected
the hopes or desires of the
great mass of the people, or by
ideas OF craftsmanship or pat
riotism. They can conceive of
no higher rule of action than
one which promises partisan
success, and an extension of
that hold upon power which
has afforded them opportunities
for plunder. To enfranchise
theSouthern whites, they know,
would be to insure the speedy
overthrow Of the carpet-bag
thieves and scalawag hen-roost
robbers who now control that
region; and the downfall of
these would be a sure premo.
milton of defeat for the whole
Radical party. Hence no hope
of a liberal policy from that
party can be reasonably enter
tertained. If peace and the
reign Of law is ever to be re-
stored inSthis distracted land,
it is evident that the people
must begin the work of resto-
ration by driving out the mon
ey-changers and other scoun-
drels who have made of the
National Capital a den of
thieves.

DIR. Norman Mcleod is accredited
with the following: Let the fairest
star be selected, ike a beauteOus
island, in the vast and shOreless sea OF
the azure heavens, as the future home
of the criminals from earth, and let
them possess what they most love,
and ali that it is possible for God TO
bestow; let them be endowed with
undying bodies, and with minds that
shall ever retain their intellectual
powers; lot no Savior ever press his
claims upon them, no Sabbath ever
dawn upon them, no saint ever
live among them, no prayer ever
be heard within their border,
but LET society exist there for
ever, smitten with the leprosy Oi
enmity to God, and with utter selfish
ness as its all-pervading and eternal
purpose-then, as sure as the law OF
righteousness exists, on which rests
the throne Of God and the govern
ment of the universe, a society so con.
slituted must work out for itself hell
Of solitary and bitter suffering, to
which there Is no limit except the
capacity OF a finite nature. Alas! the
spirit that is without love to God OF
its neighbOr, is already possessed by
power which must at least create for
is own seiftOrment a worm that will
never die, and a fire that can never
more be quenehed."

In one of the street-cars of the metrop |
lis few evenings since was O lady with
baby.


One Of the blueeyed, growing, happy |
babies, disarranging its white robes and
rumpling it's blue ribbons with all the
abandon of a baby that is secure III ever

mother was evidently stranger to the
other ladies in the car, yet all of them
smiled when they looked in her direction, |
and many Of them spoks to her aAd seem
ed to love her for the sake of tho beautiful
child. i


The opening instinct of womanhood
seems to be the love of babies, and the
girl must be a very little one that does not
want doll to which she can play the
sweet part of mother. The depth and
purpose of the instinct is revealed to US II

No kinder blessing was ever bestowed
than in Fanny Ferns letter to the newly
married Princess Royal Of England: 'And
when, brightest of all others, the crown of
maternity shall descend upon your youth
full brow, God grant you that incest of all
earthly places on earth tocry IN, O mothers

Yet. while the instinct of maternity is
peculiar to woman, and marks sex more





manners, it is not to women and girls alone
that the love of babies is confined.

The Chicago Tribune thus addresses itself
to the farmers of the Western States in view


OF the war in Europe:


The prospect of an increased demand in


Europe for American breadstaffs, in conse-


quence OF the war, is advancing prices i'll this


market, and, to less extent, IN those OF
New Yok and Liverpool There is little
doubt tha quotations will be even higher than
! at present, rs the rec ent rise in the currency
quotations of our eApOrtable products is but
little more than the advance III the gold pre-
MUM. If the war in Europe should prove TO
be of considerable duration, wheat may touch
81 70 and corn 81 10 per bushel in this mar
ket.


But it should not be forgotten that the
probabilities are that there will be but a brief
contest Modern war is so terribly destruc-
tive and expensive that few nations which
have large existing debts can indulge in the
luxury for more Than a few months without
being brought to the verge OF bankruptcy.
Tile war for the suppression OF the rebellion
lasted rather less than four years, vet the
South which had no debt TO begin with, was
virtually Leggared long before its close, aud
that was much the longest struggle that has
occurred in what are properly entitled to be
called the days Of modern warfare. A ma
tlUU WHltn u Is vim uSpt at thS W
ginping of the contest, as France is to-day,
and menace d by short crops and internal dis
sen,ions, may be able to keep up her spirits
through a series of brilliant successes, but
could scarcely preserve them after two or
three defeats in the field The probabilities
are that active hostiitivs between France and
Prussia will not be continued beyond one
campaign, and may be ended by one encoun-
ter, as was the case at Sadowa.


This is really an important point for the
grain growers and dealers of the Northwest
to consider. The crops of the present year
will be bounteous, especially corn, and large
quantities OF the old crop yet remain in the
cribs, while the elevators of this city contain
more grain than is usual at this season Of the
wear. The farmers will scarcely find it to
their interest to hold back their grain in hopes
of a large advance in the future. 1t will be
much the safest, and will, in all probability,
prove to be the wiser course, to send their
grain forward while they can realize good
prices, than to woit till the opportunity has
passed away with the return OF peace.

the Rue de la Victoire, where he lived, q
pale, bearded man Of terrible ap-
pearance rose up before him and
addressed to him, in low tone, the
usual question of French thieves, "What
time is it ?" And as the gentleman, per-
fectly dumbfounded, started back step or
two, the man sprang his throat, crying,
Il must have money !" The gentleman
now disengaged himself from the robbers
grasp by an impetuous movement, and
made ready to defend himself when cry
OF surprise burst from his lips. ''What is
it you?' he exclaimed. 'You here?" re-
piled the robber. The two men had recog-

A whining, peevish man, who
was always trying to get on the
sick list, although apparently as
healthy as any man in the army,
went to the chaplain one day, in
his doleful style, and requested
thata letter be written TO his wife,
telling her of his condition.
Tell her, chaplain, said the sol
der, "that | am too sick to write
myself, and have got you to do it
for me. Tell her that | should
die today, I'm sure, but for the de-
sire | have to wait and see her
once more before | die" The
chaplain wrote as directed, and
after a few days he called the
would-be sick soldier to his tent
and handed him this answer to
his mournful letter: Dear sir
Tell John not to wait for me as
have already set up housekeeping
