CF.3IETEItY OF MONTMARTHE—COMLNG AWAY.
It is very hard to leave a burial-place. You
spell your way from name to name, as through
some volume of tragic history hi which you arc
told little more than that everybody dies. A
EOM of justice prompts you to go on paying
these poor names the tribute of deciphering
them, and thus justifying the sole purpose or
ruiaon d'etiF which can be possessed by a name
cut on a tomb. Ysu fancy this little rite some
how soothes the Time, or perhaps the lonels ,
lemur who abides behind the stone and who will
be vexed if no one stops in passing by. It is not
much to do ; and in a Paris graveyard, where the
monuments nearly touch each other, the inscrip
tions pass you on continuously, without punctu
ation as it were, as if all written in - one-line.
I do not .think you would like a Paris ceme
tery. When I remember our delicious Campo
Santo at home, bathed by sweet Schuylkill,
draped with willows, musical with birds, odorous
with blossoms, it comes into my mind like some
Enchanted Region—or like a new Garden, where
the man who dies is planted as man was first
planted in that Eden by Euphrates, to wake to
his novel existence among the enchantments of
song and perfume.
But a crowded necropolis in Paris is what I
may call a city of boxes. The boxes are of stone,
and almost touch each other. Each one is fin
ished, according to the wealth and taste of the
proprietor,vvith some ornament or trimming out
side, some Greek fillet or metope, very, classic
and very meaningless. In the front is a door,
with a pane of sheet-iron perforated with same
device in filigree, and yon may look through the
openwork, just as you may look any night
through the openwork of the store doors on
Chestnut street. Your peep gives you command
of a very constricted interior, fitted up as a little
chapel: there is the altar, with a lace napkin and
a Parian image of the Virgin; there
is perhaps room for a little chair in the
space before this apparatus, but all is such
a. miniature that a Protestant stranger can think
of nothing but girls' baby-houses at home. Such
is the furniture of most of these boxes. The ex
terior view of them, as they raise their flat fore
heads behind one another up a hill, reminds you
of cities built of blocks. A few cypresses find
space to thrust their dark obelisks from crevices
and interstices in this paradise; of parallelopipeds.
A few borders of flowers, so crowded and massed
and trimmed as to suggest Dutch carpeting, are
found making an edge around the tiny chapels.
Everywhere you catch the mason's square, the
gardener's shears. Everywhere Nature, snipped
and snubbed by a world of employds, from the
beadle with his staff to the flower-woman with
her scissors, raises her poor berouged face with
impotent proteat to the pure and unspoilt sky.
Every day, for one of these metropolitan ceme
teries, is a- day of affairs, a day of pressure.
Times are never slack, but each morning brings
round as concentrated an agony of work as
you find in one Of your candy-shops on Christ-,
mas eve. Tho "gentlemanly" administrator (he
is perennially gentlemanly, and in the case of
Montmartre is a worn-out dramatist) has to at
tend early in his bureau to receive and dispose of
the more dignified cprregts. The rdasons in their,
white suite arc seen • everywhere, scraping
away- at fresh boxes, and tranquilly
singing little amorous songs as they work.
The grave-diggers, in earthy blue, are so blithe,
so young, so cheery in their fresh employ, that
you would take them for little boys making
gardens on a sea-beach. Meanwhile the liveried
dandy, whq watches at the gate in a waxed
moustache and a heavy silver chain, is directing
an incessant stream of incoming funerals. It is
not at all uncommon, even in an out-of-the-way
-avenue, to see four or five processions touching
each other. The poor and the rich walk in even
train, peacefully dispersing to their several vaults,
and the towering pavilion of silver and velvet
which shakes over the dead millionaire may be
immediately preceded by a sad father in a blouse,
carrying his baby under his arm in a little black
box, and attended by two or three women in
great caps and wooden shoes.
In the by-ways, you occasionally come
upon a sort of mountain, a great tumulus or
cairn, of a mouldy and vegetable nature, not en
ticing to either of the Senses, and evidently im
patient to be carted away. With your walking
stick you poke about a little while, and presently
discover the increments which go to its fordia
tion. Segments and crescents, the wire foun
dations of wreaths, tbe damp slush of paper
flowers, white and,black beads dropping along
rusted frame;works,, wings of plaster angelsi,
knees and toes of plaster Little Samuels.
A largo proportion of this mass of tiara
grant transitoriness is made up of the flower
they sail everlasting. I paused quite a spell over
one of these holocausts of votive wreaths; for it
is my fate, though unusually cold when a groat
deal is being done to bnpress me, to be arrested
suddenly by unexpected eddies of thought in
little coves and places whore nobody thinks , of
lingering, I had a kind orsomoquy, but not one
to . trouble you with; only, I assure you, when I
turned to go, I was more disposed to praise the
dead that stretched their bones under the tombs,
than the memories of the living taate rotted and
thawed away palpably, In the sun.
I In turning to leave the place I Passed along an
alley which almost skirted the crest .of the hill of

uttering something uncanny in the way of a
spell. Here I came upon the grave of Heinrich
Heine.
It was a lonely part of the enclosure. A dark
and silent widower, dressing the grave of his
"34Ignonne, 'et. 71," with wreaths and bouquets
in a neighboring avenue, was my only neighbor.
I had all to myself the black tomb, with its
white contrasting headstone crowned with an
urn, and engiaved with the lonely nalte "Henri
Heine." The simplicity of all around was a
charm, andj found here matter for abundant re
flection.
Shelley lies, covered with warm a,.lvoluptu-
ous roses, in a niche of the Aurelian wail at
Rome. Heine, whose life was another intense
and clamorous struggle for liberty, loves better
his trim grave at Paris, where speculative
thought at least is free. How these two men
Hung all their soul into the fight with the mon-
sum's Goliath of the old world! And how the
world took it all stupidly, tranquilly, in the in
tense inanity of its self-content, and was hardly
more aware of the existence of ani enemy than
the cliff against which the foam shatters away
its rainbow life.
One cannot be very cheerful over the grave of
Heine. When was the bright side of his life?
What gain was it to him to see cletirly, to feel
deeply, to reason keenly, to glance , across his
century like the most dazzling figure of, a knight
that ever devoted himself to the vindication of
every kind of liberty? How easily, how coldly,
we bring upon ourselves the loss of the friend
ship of these delicate spirits, whose amity would
be our own great gain! Heine died sardonically
smiling at his age—an age which might,have
learned from him some of the inmost secrets of
the things which belonged to its peace.
One token gratified me somewhat. I hardly
liked to think of the great scorner lying all alone
4ithe winter hillside, in the cold arms of fame,
voreed from family ties, and gladly released
from the side of the wife he despised. On the
black slab, then, lying like berries of, gold in the
sun and concentrating a little focus of dewy
warmth around them on the marble, were some
gnitc fresh and pretty immortelles, and entwined
among them a little legend, still redolent of
hearth and home, and family feeling unabated
after all these years: "A mon Neveu."
ENFANT PERDU.
AFFAIRS IN CHICAGO.
leorreepor.dence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
Curcaoo, January 4.—Notwithstanding the
closing of navigation and the general suspension
of the river trade, this city presents an unusual
bury aspect for this season of the year, which is
marked by our merchants as portending an
increased spring trade the coming season.
Emigration to the remote West is also
unusually large for this period of the year, which
is attributed to the great financial depression in
the F , at, and the extremely mild winter in the
West. The class of emigrants who wend 'their
way to those regions consists largely of the
German clement, with a sprinkling - of other
nationalities. including the Yankee. The base of
the Rocky 'Mountains is the general destination,
and the immense supplies which are shipped to
that point open a new trade, which will add
greatly to the wealth of Chicago.
We are never at a loss for a sensation in this,
the city of sensations. After the excitement of
Weston, the pedestrian, bad subsided, which
was as soon as the.people had satiated their curi
osity by a glimpse of the hero of an hour, the
Court House building became the next object of
public interest, by a startling development that
the county jail, which is situated in the base
ment of the building, was inhabited by an un
earthly spirit, who made night hideous with his
wailings and lamentations. In this building are
located the various municipal °dices, Council
Chamber, Courts and County Prison. In close
proximity to these apartments, separated only
by an ordinary partition, stands the )3eaffold, al
way s ready for immediate use, whose last vic
tims, two mcn, paid their death penalty two
years ago, and who now, the Spiritualists say,
have returned in spirit to the scenes of their last
abode on earth.
This joke, perpetrated by some of the attachCs
of the jail,caused no little excitement. From early
in the evening until near midnight, the prison
was besieged by applicants, and hundreds of ca
tions ones would stand for hours peering through
the 'windows, in hopes of hearing the unearthly
noise. So complete was the joke that the Spirit
ualists were overjoyed at this apparent proof of
the truth of their doctrine, and those who beard
the strange noise were dumbfounded. After the
disclosure was made, it was not generally known
that amongst the many victims.to this sell, the
worst sold party was the Grand Jury, Who made
an official visit, to ferret out the mystery.
This joke, contrary to the law of such, has led
to good results. No, ono who has ever made
a visit to this prison,fails to express his surprise
that the great city of Chicago should have such a
pest hole In its midst wherein human beings are
incarcerated. The public have roised a cry
against it, and so the council and supervisors are
making an effort to remedy the evil in the erec
tion of a now building.
Col. Cross, the forger, well known to your po
lice officials, is now sojourning in our peniten
tiary, where he is booked for the next six years.
Through his counsel, a few days since, he suc
ceeded in obtaining from the Supreme Court a
writ of supersedeas upon which a writ of habeas
corpus was granted by the Circuit Court, for a
new trial. His case was decided to-day, and he
was remanded. to. his former quarters for the
completion of his term of sentence.
°Another great mystery, not of the supernatu
ral order, but bona fide, and more startling, as
within the past few weeks five or six persons
have disappeared under the strangest circum
stances.
I will make a brief mention of a few of the
most prominent cases. A few weeks ago Wm.
C. Burton, the well-known drill-master of the
Ellsworth Zonaves, left the opera house, at a late
hour in the evening, with the express purpose of
going to his home immediately. That has been
the last seen of him by any of his friends.
Another gentleman left his home about three
weeks ago, to come down town. He has not yet
returned.
And another citizen, about the same time, took
up his cap and left his home during the evening,
to be absent but moment. He did not even
take his overcoat. He has not been since seen.
And others have suddenly disappeared, without
any possible due to their whereabouts having up
to the present time been discovered.
Various theories have been advanced as to the . "
cause of this mystery,without success. -
This city is overrun with a whole army of des
peradoes, nearly all of whom are financially in
the 'owest possible condition, and who would
resort to any , means for gain.
Domestic felicity seems in a very unsound con
dition in this great city.
Four thousand three hundred marriage licenses
were issued within the last year, and 338 applies-
Lions for divorce were before the Court for the
same period. In 118 the husbands ask for relief,
and in 216 the wives. Out of every 100 divorces
applied for by husbands, 30 were for adnitery,
10 for drunkenness, and 45 for' desertion— In
every 100 complaints made by the wife, 40 were
for adultery, 15 for druukenness, and 25 for de
sertion.
The Ticknor divorce trial, which has occupied
the Court for the past two weeks, divulges some
of the worst features of domestic infelicity, too
disgusting for perusal. This and theQuil case,
which will follow, have excited cons ersble
interest, as both parties belong to the upper
ten.
It is stated that a [dons Londoner has sent to
this city to be distributed nine tons of tracts; he
could not have selected a bettor field. His enta..

Brother Moody, as be is so termed, of the Y.
M.C.A., also of Washingtonian fame,is inaugurat
ing a new style of worship. His services are only
on Sabbath evenings, and consist of short ad
dresses by numerous speakers, and choruses and
solos by an orchestra.. He says Chicago is the
great religions centre—and he might truthfully
add, of vice and immorality. •
I would like to say a word to any young men
contemplating visiting this city, at the present
time,in quest of employment,that this city is now
overcrowded with the unemployed, and many
who have left comfortable homes in the east are
now in abject poverty.
Many arrive here with but little funds,which are
soon consumed In board, and, unable to procure
a situation, are brought to absolute want. It
would, indeed, be a blessing for the newspapers
throughout the East to advise the young men not
to come, at the present time, until the spring
opens:'
A number of former residents of Philadelphia
made an effort some time since to form a Phila
delphia Society. There was a large attendance
at the first meeting, and• a committee was ap
pointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, and
report at a subsequent meeting. They never met,
and the effort was fruitless.
The weather has been mild and pleasant. with
but little snow. In the suburbs they are suffering
greatly from the drought.and in the interior they
have to drive their cattle five or six miles for
water.
They aro already making preparations for the
Republican Convention, which is to be held in
this city on the 20th of May. The various com
mittees have been appointed. P.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE, AT KAIIEWAYI
Susan R. Anthony Among the Sena
tors—What the Politicians Think of
'Woman—A Spicy Speech at Rahway,
Monday night:George Francis Train and Su.-
Can 13. Anthony were invited to address the pao
pie of Rahway, N. J., by the Athenaeum Society,
on the "Enfranchisement of Women." A splen
did audiencegreetedthe reformers,anfl Mr. Train
spoke for two hours. Miss Anthony having just
returned from Washington, where she had been
introducing her new journal, The Revolution, Mr.
Train interrupted her by asking about the Capi
tal. The following sketch describes a scene that
the citizens of Rahway will not soon forget:
Train—Whom did you see at the Capital?
Anthony—Everybody.
Train—What did everybody say to ydil ?
iLaughier.]
Anthony—They said, as revolutions never go
backward, they would all subscribe for the new
organ of the age. [Applause.]
Train—Did you see Ben Wade?
Anthony—Yes! be led the Senate subscription;
he Is a royal old fellow. Go ahead, he said, push
on; noble cause, and must win eventually; we
are too busy now to take It up. but it has got to
come; hue is my name and $2; and thank you,
too. [Applause. ]
Train—What did Sumner say? •
Anthony—Did not see him; you have to go to
his house ; he never acknowledges cards sent in
to the Senate ; but I saw Wilson. He was very
gruff; said that Mrs. Stanton and myself, during
the last two years, had done more to block re
construction than all others in the land. But he
subscribed nevertheless, for he said. "I shall
want to know what you say to us." [Applause.]
Senator Pomeroy - seemed sore about the Kansas
matter, though he is a good friend of Ihe cause
of woman, and he subscribed for The Rerolution
and paid $2 in gold, saying . , "You see I have
commenced specie payments?'
Train—Did you see our Nebraska Senator? •
Anthony—Yes; Senator Thayer don't believe in
woman's suffrage; said we had killed the negro
question in Kansas, and hoped we would not go
into Nebraska,, and refused to subscribe. I can
only say it was his loss. Bat Senator Tipton is
another style of man; he paid his money; said
Revolution is a splendid name. You are all right.
The cause is glorious. He seemed disappointed
that Thayer did not subscribe. Senator Grimes
is with us. Senator Chandler said No to me with
an emphasis. Michigan is more wide awake than
her Senator.
Train—How about the House. Did you get
Colfax ?
Anthony—Yea; he put down his name and
paid his money like a man. JApplause.J Bat
Julian was the first to sin; and he told me that
when he saw the name of Parker Pillsbury in the
prospectus as an editor, he felt that that we had
made a wise selection, for, of all the old Aboli
tionists he considered him the most prophetic,
and at the same time one of the moat able of that
eminent claii of reformers. Mr. Pile, of Mis
souri, was very friendly, so was General Banks,
who seemed to be a great friend of yours, Mr.
Trait), and said the only trouble with Mr. Train
is be has too much brain, and the politicians
have to call him crazy to get rid of him. f Loud
laughter and applause.]
Train—lf I thought I was as sane as most of
our politicians who are ruining the country, L
wound jump overboard, or follow Cato's plan,
fall ou my sword. [Laughter.l
Anthony—Baker of Illinois and Lawrence of
Ohio were both advocates. Lawrence at first said
we don't need The Revolution. Baker said we do,
and asked- Lawrence where there was a paper
that would speak for the cause of women without
a sneer? Lawrence admitted that it was so. The
only argument that men bad was sarcasm or an
insult. [That's so.] The most disagreeable man
I met was Oakes Ames, who said Train told him
,all aborit us and our paper in New York. He
don't believe in women voting, but I think they
would make better Representatives than himself.

Confusion in the Conrts of New Or
leanw—A PE ertv Jury Trouble.
NEw•Ont.Esiss, La., Dec. 21, 18(7.—General
Hancock, to enable the courts of Louisiana to
prosecute their work,eays he deemed it necessary
to eject colored jurors from them, leaving
jury, duty to be performed only "by the
intelligent white citizens." The General
stated to several prominent citizens of New
Orleans, to the certain knowledge of your cor
respondent, that he was actuated in the matter
relating to juries by reasons given by, the Hon.
W. W. Howe, Judge of the First District Court,
and the. Hon. B. L. Lynch, Attorney-General of
Louisiana. As the General may strive to shield
himself behind these two distinguished gentle
men, it is but proper that the whole truth be
given to the
Judge Howe asked 'Gen. Hancock to relieve
his Court from ignorant juries, but the idea of
expelling men from the jury -boxes because they
were colored did not form any part of his
request. ThJ same yiew was expressed by
the Attorney-General, but instead of eject
ing ignorant whites, as well as ignorant
colored citizens, he ejected only the lat
ter, and that, too, regardless of qualifications.
The same day on which the order waspro
mulgated, colored men were prevented from
doing jury duty, leaving the track entirely clear
for Hancock and his one-sided plan. In the
course of a few days, Judge. Howe lad the op
portunity of demonstrating the folly of the Gen
eral's conduct, and the wrong of the whole theory
on which he acted.
A colored man was brutally assailed by a white
man in this city. The white man was arrested
and arraigned before a white jury in the court
over which Judge Howe presides. The evidence
was all taken, and the case against the assailant
seemed to be well established. The jury, after
having beard the testimony, pro and con,. re
tired, and in a very i short time brought in a
verdict of "Not guilty." This decisson was so
clearly in subserviency to the spirit of
prejudice against the colored man, which
prevails so extensively in this community, rather
than in accordance with the law and the evidence,
that the Judge dismissed the jury, telling them
they did not possess the requisite intelligence to
enable them to discharge their duties in a proper
manner. If Gen. Hancock was right in ejecting
all colored men who might be called on to perform
jury duty, because some of them were too igno
rant, by the same rule should he now dismiss all
,white men, because some of them were found too
ignorantto fit them to perform this duty.ln a word
General Hancockovith his "white man's Govern
ment" jury order has reduced New Orleans to
just this? To-day colored citizens are ejected
from- the jury box because of their color, while
to-morrow the most important of our city judges
dismisses white men because they are too
ignorant to do jury duty in a proper manner.
An old lawyer of this State, who stands high in
his profession. said yesterday, in alluding to this
confusion in the courts, that "things are- terribly
mixed."
But Judge Duren, of the United States Court,.
admits colortd citizens to his Court, and in the
late panel several of this class appear on the list,
so that Hancock has established one rule by the
bayonet, while the Judge of the United States
Court disregards the bayonet, and pursues this
course according to the principles of the Civil
Rights bill and other laws of Congress.- N. Y.

IWachingtAn Correspondence (Jan. 6) Boston Advertiser.]
The War Department has received a letter from
Breckinridge county, Ky., giving an account of
a most horrible outrage attempted upon the in
mates and friends of one of the largest colored
schools in that county. It appears that a teacher
proposed to have a concert and exhibition on
Christmas Eve. She was warned thatit could not
be permitted, but refused to believe that the rebels
would carry their threat into execution,and went
on with her preparations. The exhibition was
finally held in one of the colored churches,
which was packed with the friends of the school
and children. Within a few minutes after the
exercises closed, but not until the people had
left, the church was blown to pieces by the ex
plosion of a keg of powder that had been placed
under the platform on which the children were
seated, and probable touched off with a slow
match. An explosion during the exhibition
would probably have destroyed the entire audi
ence.
The Funeral of Conductor Parker--.
Solemn and Impressive Services.
The shocking and brutal murder of Charles H.
Parker,
Conductor of the Johnstown Accommo
dation train, has more deeply affected his late
fellow employes on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
than any similar fatality,which has occurred on
the road for a long time: 4 Mo officers of the com-
Pan, reallzing that the deceased had sacrificed
his life in the discharge of hie official duties, and
having the utmost confidence in and regard for
him as a gentleman and an officer, felt it incum
bent on them to do all in their power to provide
for him a suitable burial ; and, in so doing, to
express in some degree.the estimation in which
he was held while he was living, and at the same
time to attest their appreciation of his fidelity to
duty even at the risk of his life. We have al
ready noticed the liberal provisions which the
company made for conveying to the funeral all
the friends, relatives and immediate acqbaint
ances of the deceased. The special train loft the

of Masons and friends of: the deceased were taken
on. crowding the four passenger cars completely.
At'Blaireville Intersection a special car was at
tached, containing members of Blairsville Lodge,
A. Y. M., of Which Mr. Parker was a member.
The engine, baggage and passenger cars were all
properly.draped in mourning and presented a
very solemn appearance.
On reaching the residence of the deceased, re
ligious exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr.
Williams, of New Florence. and Rev. Mr. Wake
field, of Blairsville, after which the body was
borne by Robert Pitcairn, Esq., Superintendent
of the Western Division J. S. Spellman, John

The train then proceeded to Johnstown, where
the r•rocession again kilned and moved slowly
to the cemetery. At thu grave, the touching and
beautiful Masonic burial service;was conducted by
Revs. Wakefield, Thomas, Williams and Ryan,
and W. S. Brown, Of Greensburg. 'After the re

A plague upon the people fell,,
A famine after laid them low,
Then thorpe and byre arose in lire,
For on them brake the sudden Joe; '
So thick they died the people cried
"The sods are moved against the land.
The priest in horror about his altar
To Thor and Odin lifted a hand.
"Nolo us from famine
And plague and strife
What would you have olua?'

Were it our dearest,

- But still the foeman spoil'd and burned,
And cattle died, and deer m wood,
And bird in air, and fishes turn'd
And whiten'd all the rolling flood;
And dead men lay all over the way,
Or down in a furrow scathed with flame;
And ever and aye the Priesthood mean'd
Till at last it seemed that an answer des
o"The King is happy
In child and wife;
Take you his nearest,
Take you his dearest,
Givens a life."
The Priest went out by heath and hill,
The King was hunting in the wild;
They found the mother sitting still;
She cast her arms about the child.
The child was only eight summers old,
His beauty still with his years increased,
His face was ruddy, his hair was gold,
He seemed a victim due to the Priest.
The Priest exulted,
And cried with joy,
'Here is his nearest,
Here is his dearest,
We take the boy."
The King returned from out the wild, ,
He bore but little game in hand;'
The mother said, "They have taken the dull&

Yet Gods," he said, "would have chosen wail;
Yet both are near, and both are dear,
And which the dearest I cannot tell !"
But the Priest was happy,
His victim won. -
"We have his nearest,
We have his dearest, •
His only son!"
The rites prepared, the victim bared,
The knife uprising toward the blow,
To the altar-stone she sprang alone,
"Me, me, not him, my darling, no!"
He caught her away with a sudden cry;
Suddenly from him brake the wife,
And shrieking "/ am his dearest, I--
I am his dearest!" rusled on the knife.
And the Priest was happy,
"Oh, Father Odin,
We give you a life,
Which was his nearest?
Which was his dearest?
The Gods have answered:
We give them the wife !"
