rhom he writes were at one
loyel by the late II. H. Burwell,
urr.poken of in high terms by
if.nan, narry liurweu.wnoKnew
. rell. The father was irreatly at
tached to them and in the following lines
expresses the anguish of his heart at
tht ir death on the field of battle.
On: 1 had fondly fancied that
I would spend the remnant of my
Days with my beloved suns.
And share with them the full fruition
of all their long years of toils and
Conflicts on the tented battle field
After the liealins balm of Peace
Had touched the wounds of my
l'oor, bleeding country, but
i'.xl in His wisdom, and doubtless in
Mercy, too, bath otherwise ordained.
The last red, precious drop that coursed
Tlr.ough my descendants hath flowed
In Freedom's sacred cause;
Now, all alone, I must descend
The hills of life without a friendly
Hand to guide my tottering step.
I would not, if 1 could, recall them,
To fight Life's dubious battles o'er.
And with their chance for Heaven against,
But submit without a murmur
To the Providential will of God,
Whose Omnieient Eye surveys
The past, the present and the future whole,
And directs the current of events
To them the evil, and secure
The good to all who love and serve llim
Kirst, to my God, and then my country
1 dedicated them in infancy;
Uut little.thought that they so soon
Would fulfill the great commission,
And wear the Patriot Martyrs' crown.
With overflowing heart of gratitude,
I thank my Uod that in the course
Of their inuocuea and love, they
Obeyed the Heavenly spirit call,
And fle.v at their country's first appeal
To arms! that they fell not as spies
Or traitors to their native land
But tut they chivalrously led the
Van wherever the battle storm raged
Fiercest, and Death held his highest
Carnival, and won for themselves their
Nation's unblest honors to the brave.
Should my country fall a conquest
To the vandal horde from every laud
JS'ow rioting in the sunny plains,
IV hat kind Heaven forbid,
Through the darksome glass that hides
The liuijted from the boundless and
1'ternal views, 1 then may read my
Consolation iu their glorious but
Untimely end; as they will be
"Free indeed," and ean never live
Poltroons, nor die the slay&s of tyrants.
I know not where on Glory's hallowed
Grounds they sleep, but my crushed heart
Lies buried with them, and I believe
That His everlasting arms were
Underneath them when they fell,
Triumphant o'er the monster Death,
For they were all that virtue demands
Of men, a parent's heart could wish, and
Pure as the snow Hakes from Heaven.
Oh! thou spirit of eternal truth,
By thy unerring wisdom guide and
Reunite a solitary Pilgrim father
And his Christian patriot sons
In those halcyon realms of Joyous
I'eace, where no discordant notes of
War shall jar the harmony
.Of their eternal bliss!

And now because Parnell, the great
Insh leader has been found guilty of
undue intimacy with Mrs. O'Shea
found guilty on a pile of manufactured
plausibility and Knglish ingenuity
the papers are howling loudly about it.
Mr. Parnell was human. A woman
who had no regard for her virtue lell
in his path, and according to the evi
dence he sinned. Since the time
when history first chirruped; since pas
sion became a part of man; since wo
man would flirt and man would fall,
ihe world has heard of similar scandals.
In the Parnell affair there is nothing
stranger than is recited in divorce
courts every day year after year; there
was tJsieg ibwt the same old story.
He wrecked Kis cJ3,ractr; betrayed
his friends but thousands cmen have
fallen and their fall has evoked no
comment. When Colonel Marc An
tony fell into the meshes of Cleopatra
and tor her smiles threw away a world,
history neat J.iv K and dug up the
scandal, because there were no news
papers to talk about jt in those days.
Parnell should be very brieGy and very
quickly kicked out the back door of re
spectability and be allowed to crawl in
tha alley of disgrace. This is all there
is about it. ; The Irish cause is as strong
with a fallen leader as it was when
Paruell was as chaste as ice and as
pure as snow. The attempt of English
papers to mix up the Irish cause with
Parnell's foolishness is all out of season.
Col. Jno. D. Cameron, whose trench
ant pen has doubtless done as much
or more than any other man in the
State for the advancement and triumph
of the grand old principles underlying
the great National Democratic party
for nearly half a century.will be a can
didate for the Chief Clerkship of the
next House of Representatives of North
Carolina. Qualified by nature, with an
experience of six years in that capacity,
the Legislature could not do a more
tnagnaniraous act than to elect Col.
Cameron without a dissenting voice.
In every position to which he has been
called by his people he has proven
himself efficient, painstaking and accu
rte, always discharging his duties
ntircly satisfactory to all concerned.

ipalitythe cflUesof New York and K

meeting last week an!NUstened to aft
elaborate presentation of thevcase by 1
ex-Comptroller Green. He daped
that the natural boundary of the EastY
River should be no objection, as com
mercially, socially, and industrially it'
was already obliterated. Many other ,f
large cities such as London, Paris and 1
Berlin, are naturally divided by rim
but are commercially and politically
united. The present arrangement .
which allows New York and Brooklyn I
to antagonire each other, , Ms. Green, -thinks,
is a menace to the prosperity
of each. The Commission authorised.
Mr. Green to draw up a bill conform- "
ing with the views set forth to be pre ,

Grade Carefully.
Under the above caption the Dan
ville Tobbaceo Journal publishes the
following advice to farmers:
During the past two weeks a rood
I deal of tobacco has been toll hem' c
rhich showed bad grading and, in .r
consequence the prices paid lor it were
unsatisfactory. Planters from the same '
neighborhoods have son, the crop"
side by side in the saistt wajefcocses--' '
one getting what seemed a fitir picew
and the other going away a little 'us-
satisfied because his tobacco, thorns"
fully as good, did not bring qpttz-,f
much as his neighbors. And all heritor
the one bad sorted and graded his crop.1
carefully, while the other was negligent J
m this very important matter. , . - -
As a rule the planters in this section
are very careful in grading their crops.
They have learned by ..experience:
manv of them, that it tars well.. This
year we can see the reason lor neglect?,-w.
Prices are high, and every body, seems'
anxious to get his crop to markt 'as
early as possible. This hurry has , led '
to a good deal of improper grading,'
and the planters axetbe safierers by
their haste. We nave written much on
this subject, because we have .'so- often -
seen tobacco sell for much less ikan it;
real value, simply because tt was not;
properly graded. It pftjtrra4:.:Jtl.:
pays well for the planter to b$ es,j
