him, ‘you know I never was a bit

good enough for me. Let me give

Ainscourt locked sharply at his

was there a mocking undercurrent of

The setting sun is painting
With fairy brashes small,
In crimson hues,the welkin.

And now he dips his ringlets
Into the billowed Wiset,
And Nature, with her children,
Prepares to take her rest.

The kine, with measured foot-steps,

The Execution or an AnKiqpAN*is
Cuba.—Tho following is tbe last letter
of Albert Wyetb, telegraph operator,
formerly of Harrisburg, Pa., who was
captured among others from on board
the Grapeshot, in Cuba:
Santiago de Cuba, June 21.—Eugene
Castner, New York—Dear Gene: Good

this morning. It is now three a. m. I

few hours of life that yet remain to me

friends, of my fate. All who came on
the vessel have been shot There are
three others who were with me on the
vessel, who die with ma. There is no
hope whatever, and be assured yon will
never see me again on earth. My love

friends and relatives of ours who have
died, and Whose departure from ns we
believe we have ever sincerely mourned
—and for the following among other
reasons, which we copy from the Cttth-
bert Appeal
We ate strongly in favor of abolishing
this imperious, yet hurtful custom, for
the following reasons:
1st. It is often employed as a mere
of ostentation.—Those Who cher
ish the least real regard for the deceased
frequently make the greatest outward
pvade of their sorrow. It is almost a
proverb, that the blooming widowj in
the fitting and adjusting of her sombre
habiliments, sometimes c loses sight of
the object of her grief, and fashions her
graceful weeds into a trap to secure an
other hnsband.
2d. Its notoriety. The wounded spirit
shrinks from contact with the world,
and seeks in retirement to indulge the
“luxury of grief.’’
To constitute the body amonrning
sign to atttract attention, and draw
down the notice of the public, is utterly
repugnant to all delicacy and refinement
of Bentiment How often too is the ont-
ward deportment wholly at variance
with the visible tokens of sorrow. Can
anything be more incongruous than
boisterous levity draped in crape and
sable plumes ?
3d. Its injury to health. The poison
ous nature of black dye stuffs is well
known, and often fragile forms suffer
from the stifling confinement of a heavy
crape veif. Odious black bonnets also,
occasion many an aching brow, and in
warm weather the coffin-like bombazin,
to the writer, smacks of the grave itself.
Genuine sorrow needs not to be as
sumed, bat is evident and patent to all.
When feigned, it is travesty npon sol
emn things, which should be met with
the finger of scorn.
4tb. Its expeusiveness. This, of itself,
should condemn tbe custom, as not nn-
freqnently a family reduced in circum
stances, and left more destitute than
ever by the removal of its bead, after
purchasing their mourning outfit, have
exhausted all the means of support.
Again, it is wrong to subject the poor,
to the humiliation arising from their in
ability to conform to these ontward
marks of respect, for the- memory of
those they loved so well.
For the above reasons, and others that
•might be adduced, we are anxious for
the desuetude of the habit of wearing
mourning for deceased friends. If it be
jir0.-d that gay colors are repugnant at
such seasons, we reply that we do not
countenance extremes of any kind. Bet
apparel be natural and modest, and
in keeping with the state of the mind.
That arrangement of the toilet which
will provoke least notice, ceteris paribus,
is always in the best taste.
The acme of true gentility, is to be so
attired, that an observer afterwards,
will find it difficult to recall either the
cut or material of the garments which
were worn. Pity, that the walking ad
vertisements of merchant tailors and
inantna makers, could not lay this
lesson to heart.
ingress and egress from two stations,
one for acceleration by parallax,, the
other for retardation; and the great ad
vantage of this method over the otber
was that the accurate determination of

Transit of
Yeuns iu 1874 and
1882.
At a late meeting of the Royal Geo
graphical Society in London, Staff Com
mander Davis read a paper on “Anta
rctic Expeditions aud the Transit of
Venns.” The paper, as implied by its
title, was divided into two parts. The
first gave an historical account of the
expeditions to the South Pole, the writer
remarking on the singularity of the fact
that whilst the names of the Artie ex
plorers were familiar as household
words, comparatively few were acquain
ted with expeditions to the Southern
Pole, or even the names of the discov
erers in the Antarctic. With regard to
the transit of Venns, Commander Davis
.old the great interest attached to it was
owing to the data it afforded for deter
mining the exact distance between the
the sun and earth, with regard to which
there was an estimated error of 4,000,-
000 miles. As this transit took place
only once or twice in a century, it was
„ j for astronomical purpose to
mn k a hay while the snn shines. Within
a comparatively brief space of time there
would be two transits of Venns—one in
1874 and another in 1882. The value to
be attached to the latter transit was the
chief object of the paper. There were
two methods by which this transit could
be effectually observed: First, by abso
lute longitudes from four stations—one
for acceleration by parallax, and one for
retardation for tbe ingieas and the same
for the egress; for as the planet took
about six hoars to Cross the saw’s disc,
there were bat few places from which
both the ingress and egress could be ob
served, having due
parallactic value. For tb
>rrnTT .-> determinations of
lnqgifndc
error of one
c* time would vitiate the remit. The

determination of the longitude, whilst
the vessels proceeded to Hobartan, from
which place they wonld«finally start for,

and striking out in leagitnde about 165
degrees east, endeavor to make Balleny
Island, aad, keeping well to tbe west
ward, take the pack and work through
it towards South Victoria, and.-then skirt
the coast along as closely as possible;
for, although in the Erebus and Terror
they did not see the appearance of a
harbor, it was jnst possible a different
season might open one np; proceeding
south past Possession Island, in latitude
73%. and failing to find a harbor or a
suitable place of landing on that Island,
to return at once to Possession Island,
and land the party, with huts, instru
ments and provisions for two years, the
ships returning North, and after refit
ting, seperate and proceed to the two
stations at which parties had been

What General Grant Thinks of
the Virginia Election.—A W**h-‘
ington letter in the Boltimore Gazette
says:
“Upon this point I have taken great
pains to ascertain tbe trne sentiments
of General Grant, and can state that to
day he expressed high: gratification at the
result of the Virginia election; and
was decided in bis perference of Senator,.
Hamilton, and Dent, over their guber
natorial competitors ia Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Texas. As it is known
that Sumner, Boutwell-toid their fac
tion, are of diametrically opposite views,
I would not guarantee that his Excel
lency will “stick.' But I am assured by
trustworthy gentlemen that be has at
last taken the bit between his teeth, and
will bold on at least for and during thin
summer.’
