suggestions of the Blairs and Others, who have
been busily engaged for two or three days
past in counselling some sort of sagacious &C
ton by which the Cincinnati candidates
should be endorsed without being actually
nominated by the democracy, appear to have
been swept out Of sight by the earnestness of
the majority of the delegates. 1t is evident
that the movement for union against the ad-
ministration is serious one on the part of
the Convention and that it is to be made In O
thorough manner as a matter Of principle


and not for the sake Of expediency. The

was particularly happy in his presentation of
the issues before the country and in the express
sion of his views as to the duty of the democracy
in the present election. While arraigning the
policy of the administration as having kept

There is no one thing to be observed in cities
which will more certainly show the culture and
refinement of the people than the care bestowed
on the resting place of the dead. The stranger
visiting Mount Auburn can not fail to sec in the
lovely groves the lakes and tasteful monu-
ments, the quietude and air of undisturbed re-
pose which pervades the place, the proofs Of
deep affection which would guard even the
memories and ashes of the departed friends
from disagreeable Intrusion and prepare a
place where the most sensitive of mourners
would not be interrupted in thesweet although
sad, thoughts of loved ones who were buried at
their feet.


The rapid growth of Knoxville, in which we
all rejoice, has encircled our Grey Cemetery
with network 0f railroads with their discord-
ant whistles and noisy trains, witha circle of fac
tories, whose busy hammers and noisy ma
chineries interrupt the words of prayer in the
burial service and the thoughts of mourners.


The first and most essential quality of good
cemetery is quiet, The entire absence of asso-
citation with the world of cares and labor is the
greatest charm that can be thrown around the
SPOT where loved ones rest Another valuable
qualification is extent or room Graves should
not be crowded together. The charms of nature,
trees grass, water and flowers judiciousIy ar
ranged by cultivated taste should be thrown
around the place. The many fine views which
we have around us may be made to add to the
attractions of the cemetery. #s.


Can not we have q cemetery not of seven

convey the remains of those who are dearest to
us to their last sesting place, worthy of the cu-

Furthermore, the saving of time is
another point to be looked at. While
your children are wasting their hours over
the miscellaneous books, which, in one
way and another, come into their possess

authors-works which they may not have
