Though my scarred and veteran Bear their eagles hth no more, And my wrecked and shattered ns gal- leys BIrew dark Artium's fatal shore; Though no flittering guards surround me.

Let not Caesar's servile minions Mock (he lion thus laid low; 'Twas no foemana hand that slew hi in, 'Twas his own that struck the blow.

Should the base plebeian rabble lare assail my fame at Rome, Where my noble spouse, Oetavia, Weeps within her widowed home, Seek her say the gods have told me Altars, augurs, circling wings That her blood, with mine commingled. Yet shall mount the throne of kings. And for thee, star-eye- d Egyptian! Glorious eorceress of the Nile, Light the path to Stygian horrors, With the splendors of thy smile. Give the Caesar crowns and arches, Let hla brow the laurel twine; I can scorn the Henate's triumps, Triumphing In love like thine. I am dying, Egypt, dying; Hark!

From the American Tribune: The du'ge the hope Um its greater, tetter spirit will ri.se above it all, aad assert itself until all disloyal sentiments are put under lu feet, and that it will teach a higher and nobler sentiment than devotion to a section, until they, with us, bhall be pledged to one country, one government, one nig. It is only by this means that the future can be made peaceful and secure, and America become truly great. Indeed, it is already doing this, and everywhere throughout that region we see a new order of things beginning to prevail. The old feeling of exclusive-nes- s and ostracism is disappearing, until men from the north are made welcome to dwell on its plains and in It folthe valleys of its mountains. lows that education is spreading Its benign influence there; railroads are being built and extended to every town; factories are multiplying and natural resources are being utilized, cities are taking the place of hamlets; there Is diversified farming instead of the old custom of raising but one product, and everywhere a new south Is superseding the old south to which these young men so thoughtlessly pledge themselves. Let them remember their fathers with gratitude, take pride in their valor, and do all honor to their rnemory;but this does not require a pledge of loyalty to the old south or its "cause." Their fathers, if living, would not approve of this utterance, but would rather turn their faces toward the better day, and march with us to the achievements of an undivided people and an indivisible Union. United, we may defy and outstrip tha world; divided, it becomes only a question of time when we will be too weak to protect ourselves from thos8 oi other knds who would profit by our loss, and free government be pronounced a failure among men. But, to promote unity and acquire strength, it is necessary that we avow and cultivate a national spirit in all sections, so that 110 newspaper reporter, anywhere, will have occasion to describe our private or public gatherings as, "a distinctly southern throng," or northern, and the sentiments expressed as "strictly of the south," or of the north.

"Oh, well," said he, "I haven't been registered yet, and I think I am both sides. It reminds me of a man in my county who was running for the legislature. I met him one day and said: 'Bob, how are you getting along with the prohibitionists? 'All right, eaid he. 'And how?' said I. Well,' said he, 'I drink with the liquor men and vote with the prohibitionists." " - Among the numerous birds In Cey. there are few more remarkable than the Virginian horned owl. As soon as evening draws on, and mankind retire to rest, he sends forth such sounds as seem scarcely to belong to this world, making night hideous with his loud and sudden cri3 of "Waugj 0, Waugh 0." He has other nocturnal solos, no less melodious, one of which very strikingly resembles the half-suTressed scream of a person suffocating Irritate. This Incident Is the legitimate re- or throttled.

Some Inmates of the home called attention to the evera. matter, and It was token un Grand Army pests, one of which, at Roseburg, has made a formal comThe bureau has made an Inplaint. vestigation, and exonerated the management of the home. There are legal authorities both ways, and a decision construing strictly the statute cited would, it is stated, be not only unjust, but lead to serious consequences. The evidence shows that the home directors have required all pensioners to surrender their pensions to tha treasurer of the home. Four dollars a month is then allowed each pensioner for personal expenses, and the remainder paid to dependent relatives, or, if there be none, the money i3 accumulated for the benefit of the pensioner. The practice is substantially similar to that in operation at twenty-on- e other soldiers' homes. The pension bureau takes the position that It is not expedient to intervene in the case, as the act of March 3, 1S93, by the requireimplication, sanctions ment, which his been in force in most of the state soldiers homes. Commissioner Evans says that ha believes the president will act favorably on his recommendation for a modification of the Cleveland order Including pension boards In the civil service where fees amount to more than $300 per annum. The president has under contemplation several changes and modifications In the orders formulated by his predecessors, and may embody everything in an omnibus order. How soon executive action will be taken is purely a matteof speculation. Considerable confusion has arisen from premature publication of several changes in prospect, notably that with regard to pension boards. They will be made, however, in good time.

This is the boldest declaration made for some time. If It means anything, it is that the sons of the Confederate veterans are ready to follow In the footsteps of their fathers In bearing arms against the nation In support of the cause for which their fathers fought. The report of this meeting is given in another column, copies from the Atlanta Constitution. The Constitution says: "It was distinctly a southern throng, and the sentiment was ttrlctly of the south." But, we would regret to believe that it was representative of the south. If so, all the talk of a "new south" is a delusion, and the struggle for the supremacy of a section over the whole is not yet ended. Such sentiments are and reactionary dangerous, and augur It ladly for the future. may be that these young men have given expressions to the real sentiments of the south; but we prefer to regard It as being merely the too enthusiastic utterance Inspired by filial affection, which they, themselves, will not apIn prove in their calmer moments. ro other country under the sun could n.f who have been In rebellion against their government hold reunions as the Confederates are permitted to do, and nowhere else could these game Sons of Confederate Veterant have met and arranged to attend such a reunion as the one proposed to be held at Nashville.
