He sighed for immortality, and feared bis name would be written, as in "water." His re mains repose in the old cemetery at Ostia, Italy, thirty miles from Rome, where the empties into the sea. A tourist, visit ing the .-.metery writes The cemetery is entered by a small covered stone doorway on the north side. The atten tion of the visitor is attracted by a marble slab set in the exterior wall of the cemetery. This slab or -placque has a profile likeness of Keats in bas-relief, enclosed by a laurel wreath. The profile was made from a cast taken by Keat's devoted friend, Joseph Sev ern, while the poet was on his death-bed. General Sir Vincent Eyre raised a subscrip tion for the purpose of placing the medallion in its present position, and wrote the follow ing lines which are inscribed Under the bas relief. Keats 1 if thy cherished name be "writ in water," Each drop has fallen from some mourner's cheek; A sacred tribute, such as heroes seek, Though oft in vain-f or dazzling deeds of slaughter. Sleep on : Not honored less for Epitaph so meek ! These lines, it will be observed form an acrostic to the poet's name. A marble slab is placed over the grave chiseled in which is a lyre with broken strings, beneath which is the following melancholly inscription : "This grave contains all that was mortal of a young English poet who on his death-bed, in the bitterness of his heart, at the malicious pow er of his enemies, desired these words to be engraved on his tombstone- Here lies one whose name was writ in water. Feb. 34th, 1821." Joseph Severn, a devoted friend and companion of Keats, was an eminent artist, and died, Aug 2, 1879, aged S5 years. He lived to see John Keats numbered among the immortal poets of England. Joseph Severn died in Italy and was originally buried in the modern cemetery at Ostia. But two years ago his remains were re moved to the side of Keats in the old ceme tery. Roses and violets grow over the graves of the two friends, who are united in death as they were in life. Keat's mournful ap prehension that his name would be forgot ten has not been realized. Byron said all must revere, the name of Keats, even the water in which his name "was writ" would respect it and freeze. Shelley immortalized the memory of his friend in his fine poem, "Adonais," while his own genius will for ever keep his name from oblivion. The tragic and mysterious fate of Charlie Ross, long excited public, and even nation al sympathy. No wonder that an eager de sire still exists every where to find,alive, the truly identified Charley Ross. Almost num berless instances of the supposed finding of \ the lost boy have occurred, and the distract-! Ed father has traveled thousands'of miles to verify them, only to be disappointed, and has spent a fortuue of $60,000 in the vain and fruitless search without gaining any re al clue to unravel the distressing mystery. Quincy, Illinois, has just been greatly exer cised by the belief that the long lost Charley Ross had turned up in that city. It is stat ed that one G. W. Moran, of Troy, N. V., who claims to be a cousin of Charley Ross bas gone on to Quincy, and fully identifies him. The boy says he is Charley Ross, and asserts that he was stolen by gypsies from his father's house and taken to Texas ten years ago; that he escaped and made his way to Missouri, where he was picked up and brought to Quincy. He says he has always known his name was Charley Ross, but was never allowed to use the name or be called by it. He has a scar on his arm,' caused he says, by an arrow. The original Charlie Ross, it is asserted by Moran, had a similar scar on the same arm. But now comes a* de nial from Christian K. Ross, the "father of Charlie denying that the Quincy boy is his son. He says "There is nothing in it at all. I know of no such man as James Moran of Troy, N. V., who claims to identify Charlie, nor has my boy any such mark made by an arrow. I have received at least a dozen let ters about the same case from people in Quincy. His picture was sent to me, and my family and myself agree that the boy hears no resemblance to Charlie. I have re peatedly told these people that this is not the lost boy." There is little doubt that poor Charlie Ross has been long since dead, prob ably murdered by his captors to prevent de tection. It is a sad case and one whose fearful mysteries will probably never be Cleared up. Much has been said about the purchase of the Island of Cuba by the United States. But during the slow progress in that direction, and stimulated by the unhappy condition' of the island, where affairs are constantly grow ing worse, with no hope of improvement under Spanish rule, a syndicate Is being per fected to purchase the island. ' It is stated that Colonel A. B. Linderman, of Philadel phia, the projector of several great Florida land schemes, will sail in a few days for Madrid, via London and Amsterdam, in the hope of consummating arrangements for the purchase of the Island of Cuba . from the Spanish government. . This scheme was submitted by Col. Linderman in January to a syndicate of English and Continental, cap- italists, and an agent was sent to _ Cuba to consult with leading men on that island. Colonel Linderman then returned to this country, and has since conferred with "gen- tlemen in "Washington with a view of meet- ing International questions likely to arise in the sale of the island. Speaking of the pro- ject yesterday, he said: "The price men- tioned is $60,000,000. The syndicate under- stands that it cannot exercise the riehts of sovereignty, but objections can be overcome by a new form of government, which will be satisfactory to the syndicate and to the peo ple of Cuba by giving them long sought free- dom from the Spanish government. The scheme means momentous changes for Cuba including the early abolition of slavery, the reduction of taxes,' the increase of produc tions and the restoration of the island to the •proud commercial. position which it once held. After a few years of freedom and progress, it would not be strange if Cuba was found reposing under the banner of Uncle Bam." ' - _ 'i "David R. R. Crane,a member of the sen- ior class, - Harvard : college, was * found dead "in his room at 11 o'clock a. m., Wednesday. He retired Tuesday night in excellent health. Medical examiner Holt gave heart disease as the cause of death.' ' Mr. Crane was one of the foremost **, in athletic sports . and was a member of the University.- foot' ball team." : The above is "■ suggestive of the present day defects of University training. The design seems, to be, largely,' to . make, athletes in stead of scholars, to develope brawn Instead of brain. Doubtless the young man above alluded to, lost his life by over physical exer tion. lls such training j what our Universi ties are intended for! It was not so thought at an earlier day when our colleges turned out scholars with well disciplined mental training, instead of expert athletes. It is significant that the expert, well developed 'athletes of modern college classes,' who are boss leaders in physical sports, arc never heard of in af terlife, as distinguishing themselves, iv any line of professional life, or, in the walks of literature, scholarship, or statemanship. They have won their renown when they leave college, and sink into obscurity." They have no taste for literary, or intellectual pursuits of any kind, they are mere tide-waiters, the sport of adverse fortune.and neither make nor hold positions of usefulness or honor. Once an athlete, always an athlete. . The ex cuse .for athlete college training is to give "a sound mind in a sound body." The fate of young Mr. Crane is a suflicient commen tary on this proposition. Instead of a sound . body, his physical system was wrecked, and he went to an early grave, the light of intel lect extinguished,in a career that might have been useful and honorable, ended before it • began. And this is but a common, every day example. . The Legislature of Massachusetts, just ad journed, made one change in the Sunday- law of the State. It abolished that provision under which violators of the law took refuge and escaped penalties. For example, if a person was injured while riding on a train or traveling on the' highway on Sunday and sued the company for damages, the company had only to answer that it was unlawful to travel on the Lord's Day, therefore he was not entitled to recover. This plea has been in several bases sustaiud by the Massachu- setts courts. The Legislature has now de- clared that the violation of the Sunday law shall not consitute any defence in an ac tion to recover damages for personal inju ries. The railroad company, by pleading the Sunday law, in mitigation of damages, that it was unlawful to travel on the Sabbath stulified itself, for, if unlawful for a man to travel on the Sabbath, was it not equally un- lawful,and more so forthe railroad company to run their cars on the Sabbath, and thus offer the means of travel. But the courts sustained this small quibble, not greatly to the credit of their learning or fairness. The Legislature has finally rendered the weal- quibble impossible, and a Sabbath breaking railroad company can no longer,in the old Bay- State, escape penalty for injuries inflicted on the Sabbath day, by a contemptible quibble. A Daily paper calls attention to the fact thatthe custom of adjourning the courts "not only on account of the deaths of well- known jurists and judges and ex-judges of all degrees, characters and reputation, but sometimes when the deceased lawyer has been scarcely known at all beyond the nar- row circle of his clients and professional as- sociates." The case of an English judge is cited as affording a better example. > The Lord Chief Justice was asked to adjourn the Court of Crown Cases Reserved for the funer al of the Duke of Albany. He declined, re marking that the "truest respect we can pay to her majesty is to administer justice to those of her subjects who throng the courts. The English Chief Justice has set an example, worthy to be followed by courts and congress- es in this country, where valuable time is often wasted in heartless unsympathetic, and expensive formality, neither crediable to the living, or conferring honor upon the dead. The Judge in a criminal court in his The Judge in a criminal court in his charge to a jury a few days ago said that both bench and .bar were fast approaching the belief that expert testimony of all kinds is valueless, because the so-called experts are not really witnesses, but advocates. The ex- pression of such an opinion is significant in its bearing upon a kind of evidence which in the past has been considered almost con- elusive. But ,it has been found of late that expert testimony is quite as conflicting as that of ordinary witnesses; and iittie difficul ty is experienced in finding "experts" to tes tify on both sides of a case. Their testimony may be given in good faith, but it has little of the value that was once attached to it. COMMODORE GARRISON. The Feeling' at Baltimore— One Small Failure Over the Scare. • ■-*■■ Baltimore, June —The Sun says: The announcement that Garrison had made an as- signment caused a good deal of stir among the consolidated gas company people. It was well known that Garrison had been the principal capi talist behind the Equitable Gas company of this city, and admitted that there is no money in sup- plying gas at §100 to customers, which is the prevailing rate. One of the prominent consoli- dated directors said the outcome from assign- ment may or may not be to the advantage of the consolidated company, but he inclined to be- lieve that;, if the Equitable went into other hands it would be found more advantageous to deal with the half doger, who might get the con- trol, than with one man, as has been the case under the Garrison regime. '. A leading Baltimore banker said that Garrison made money out of his several gas coventures, mainly by consolidation with older companies. The Baltimore company had not reached the con- solidation stage yet, and doubtless he had not pocketed any profit from it, He said the com- modore was regarded as very rich, and declined to believe the statements about the large assets above liabilities correct. Perhaps his securities could not be realized upon, and he made the as- signment to relieve himself until his business could be settled, when he will retire. Mr. Boss, general manager of the Baltimore Equitable Gas company, said he received from Henry Y. Attrill, of "New York, the details of the matter as to the concern of his company. He said that Attrill, who is also identified with the Equitable, assured him there would be no change in the status of that concern growing out of the assignment, and its affairs will move on the same as heretofore. >..:; v. . , ' Geo. F, Forest, named in Garrison's perform- ance, has represented Garrison. The interest in the Equitable consolidated stock, stiffened upon the stock board when the news came that the as- signment was made, but did not hold up very well and there was a general disposition to await further developments rather than go inthe boom in the uncertain condition of affairs. Balloonist Dynamiters- Chicago, June 21.—Irishmen interviewed here on the proposed armed movement on England, including the use of balloons from which to drop dynamite npon the cities of England, as outlined in the cable dispatches yesterday, ridi cule the proposition in every way. John F. Scanlan summed it up by declaring, "It is cvi- dent that some Milesian-Munchausen is having a heap of fun on the other side." Col. Dan O. Sullivan, who was secretary for America of the 1867 movement, said that no sane Irishman be- lieves in an armed invasion. The futility of such efforts has been . satisfactorily demon strated, besides Stephens had announced himself as opposed to the dynamite policy, and could not have originated the plans. _'■ Pat Crowe, of ftpri:-., said Stephens once had an opportunity to^ead an armed rebellion, but proved a coward, and ran to save his; own neck. He declares that the mass meeting of Irish will be held in this city during the period of the Dem ocratic convention to raise money for dynamite. T. J. Darcy thought the baloonists would cut ; a sorry figure when their balloon was. being rid- dled by shot by the early residents of England. Our Present Blessings.''

The schools of Forgo closed Friday with public exercises which were largely attended and ex tremely creditable both to teachers and schol ars. The Xew York company, that presents the opera bouffe of Orpheus and Eurydice, had a very fine house to Fargo Friday night, and all were delighted with the performance. - George Gibbs, the man who was shot by J. C. Ansley so absurdly at Bismarck, is most unex pectedly likely to recover. Ansley will be admit ted to $5,000 bail in a few days if the man con tinues to mend. . It is probable that those who anticipate seeing a thousand Indians perform tho sun dance at Devil's Lake, July -Ith, will be disappointed. A recent order from the interior department pro hibits the Indian agents from tolerating this "aboriginal ceremony,*' as the order terms it. It is not stated what the objection is to it. A journal of that region says that '-the Black Hills country, offers the finest of summer resorts. It has beautiful scenery, a splendid climate, hot springs equal to those of Arkansas, and every natural attraction to the tourist." It predicts that when railroad connection .is secured that will be the great summer resort of Dakota. Port Emma Times: "It is a low estimate to say that there will be 50,000 acres of breaking done by the farmers of Dickey county this sea son. This is allowing but two quarters in a sec tion and but little more than an average of twenty acres upon each quarter. Dickey county con tains 737,-80 acres of Dakota's richest soil." The bicycle club at Jamestown already claims members that can compete with the riders in Sells' circus. Theyhave a new device of the tandem sorttaking out the small wheel and at taching the large ones together by an iron rod. it is quite a sight to see the whole club moving together in this way at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour.' . .. The Jamestown Alert has information it deems reliable that work is to commence on the east end of the Lake Traverse, Sanborn & Carring ton railroad immediately. The people in the north part of Stutsman county feel very much encouraged by the prospect of having railroad transportation at their own doors in the near fu ture. It will probably run near the Gray broth er's ranee north of Spiritwood lake, thence up to or near the boundary line between Stutsman and Foster counties. The streets of Fargo are being put in finer con dition than ever before, and with the growth of trees and shrubbery the city is taking on quite an attractive appearance. It has the natural ad vantages to make a very pretty city. Some of the better resident districts are having home- stead grounds improved in a manner that will soon vie with older cities. Too little attention has been given to this matter in the past, as when the boom was on property was changing hands too often to be properly improved. ' It is suggested that the Republican convention to nominate a candidate for congress should be delayed until the bill to increase the membership of the legislature becomes a law, as the county conventions to send delegates will want to elect delegates to the legislative convention as well as nominate candidates for local. offlces, and they cannot well do this until it is known how many representatives each district is to have. There is no demand for an early convention except in the interest of Delegate Raymond, Two months is quite long enough for a Dakota canvass. The Fargo Southern is now so nearly completed and ready for regular traffic that its officers are making arrangements to solicit business. There has been some apprehension that it would be drawn into pooling arrangements with the other lines, but its managers assure the people that there need be no apprehensions on that score. They say it shall be a people's line in the interest of the Red River valley and Fargo. As railroad men they do not believe there is any need to make rates this side of St. Paul double those east of there. They have guarantees, it is said, that most of the business of the city east will be given that line. There will not be at the opening any disposition to antagonize any of the other roads more than needful or extravagant cut of rates, but they are pledged to give rates that will en- able jobbers to do business here. Tlie Black Hills Tin Discovery. The Blacks Hills Journal has high anticipa tions of prosperity for that section growing out of the discovery of tin mines. It says: "The developments so far made in the tin mines more than justify all that has been said of them by those who have visited and investigated them, and indeed have formed a solid foundation upon which to base predictions of great future wealth. As we briefly stated in our last issue,there 13 now disclosed in the Etta mine a greater body of tin ore than has ever before been shown on this con tinent, and this ore body has been thoroughly tested by competent metallurgists, who give us the assurance that it contains tin not only in paying quantities,but in quantities to pay largely. Had such development been made in any other country great excitement would have been created; the influential mining journals of the country would have taken the matter up, and every reading person in the civilized world would ere this have learned of the existence on this continent of bodies of tin ore. But the Black Hills country has never received any great amount of attention from the mining journals, and the claims of our home papers have passed as of little weight. It is only because of the great importance of the discovery and develop- ment of tin mines here that people have begun to take an interest in themthey have actually forced themselves upon outside attention." Tone of Them Escape, The Bismarck Tribune gives these details of. the arrest of Myron B. Graves, the mail thief, which has been noted by telegraph: "He was strongly suspected and was watched closely, although allowed to come in contact with the mail with a view- to catching him. A few days ago he stole a postal note issued at Helena and payable at New Orleans, and returned the postal note to Helena for repayment. This left no rea- son to doubt his guilt, but proof was still want ing. *. Accordingly the inspectors were sent for. They arrived on Friday. On Tuesday Graves took two of their decoys and was arrested with the rifled letters and the money upon his person. Of course he admitted since there was no chance to deny his guilt and also gave information in relation to other letters stolen by him. It is well to here remark that those who steal once will again, and that those who steal from the mails are certain to be caught. The inspectors do not fail in one out of a thousand cases to catch the guilty parties, particularly if they are in the mail service or connected with it in any manner. It was only six weeks ago when Graves com- menced his career of crime. Three weeks ago he was suspected. To-day he is in jail and cer- tain to receive from one to five years in the peni tentiary." Gen,' Ward's Corrected Fan General Ward, of Kentucky, who is a relative of the Ward boys, is at Grand Forksj waiting the trial of the parties : indicted for killing | them, whice is deferred to the 30th. The general seems to have never visited this section before and had very fanciful ideas in regard ,to it, according to this statement of the Herald: X ■.-•'. '•But as he was riding in the cars towards Cm cinnati, and reviewidg his geography of the northwest, which he : says was meagre enough, the conception he formed was not very favorable', and he concluded he was going to one of the out- posts of the country where there would probably be no legal text books. So he stopped at Cm cinnati and specially supplied himself with what he imagined to be the necessary leagal: weapons for the rest of the hunt on the frontier. • But when he got on the cars at I Chicago for the great northwest,'he saw what he had hardly dreamed of. ■ Here came the porter crying out, "Dining cars! meal ready!" etc., and after recovering from • his _| wonder, his '; curiosity •■ carried him into the palace dining car, and there a: new wonder greeted' his .;." eyes, "A Such ' a sumptuous array, as would be fit for princes, was presented. And this continued' almost to * the I end lof his journey. . When .he reached '. Dakota he saw beautiful silver-lined'; lakes with . shores orna mented with shells as it appeared to his ' vision. But what was his astonishment now on learning that it was bnt the mir_.ge of the plain, an opti cal illusion! A But there are genuine lakes.; And now when he arrived at Grand Forks and saw a i city of neat homes and contented, energetic peo- .' pie with evidences of . modern I intelligence | and ' culture, he loses his . personality. He . says _ to; I himself: "Where is the end of all this?" Where I is the frontier? - Has this great land any frontier ' now? .'And he says he " is . but '' now ; recovering from the brilliant flood of wonder caused by tho transition:' The experieuce of this gentleman, who is one 9f the ' foremost criminal lawyers Inl j Kentucky, is but a repetition :of the revelation - which Dakota has in storo for all new comers \ from the east or south." .-■: Swindling Insurance Agent.'A*.7.. ' The Port Emma Times in Dickey county,' has ' this charge to make against a St. . Paul . citizen:' .' County Assesor Stephenson was in town- this week, ! and informs us that an insurance agent and sharper from St. Paul « has been * practicing < "some of his baneful dodges upon the j Finlauders in 129-01, shamefully imposing upon them on ac- count of their ignorance of the English language. His scheme is to go through the county in the' i role of an assessor, taking : the value of : their Improvements, crops, etc., which he. turns into '_ an insurance policy of from $1,000. to $1,500, causing them to sign the statement, which is in- geniously turned into a note j for ten" dollars or more, to be paid after harvest. .- This occurred 1 some ten days ago, and when the j real assessor ] came around they objected to being assessed,and one of their number, who could Speak some English, informed him of the way in whicii the swindle had been perpetrated. It (is I well | for that insurance agent that he has left the . coun- try. • . " _ .*,...*.*,..' * ; The Capitol. Some of the south Dakota papers are troubled , over the fact that the location of the capitol in north Dakota, when division is accomplished, will leave the records of the territory as a whole outside of the south part. . If, as they suggest should have been done, the capitol had been . placed at Huron, Redfield or any place in; the south, the north would j have been in the same condition. But it is not believed that any prac tical difficulty will result. It is thought quite probable* in fact it is well nigh certain that, with the consent; of: both sections, division will be effected next winter. / It is believed that the governor will, as soon as the capitol is ready for nse, issue a proclamation: announcing ■ that Bismarck is the capital, and the legislature will convene there and confirm the action of the com- missioners iv locating it there. - ',*;_:.. v.iC..'•; THECOUETS.
