IRESCH AND ESCI.ISH EPITAPHS.
I)i FRANCKS POWER COBBE.
Do institutions make men, or men institu
tions ? Is it a few degrees of caloric, or a
varied -rainfall, on which depends the moral
itharaeter of nations ? Was there a _ time
when families of men allied in blood and
Jonuusoe: and dwelling for unknown ages
on adjacent lands, suddenly received the
sharp marks of distinctive race, and ever
more transmitted them to their posterity ?
How is it that the' amalgam of
Briton, Roman, Saxon, Angle, Dane and
Hoiman, after eight centuries of welding,
makes the sound but dull and heavy metal
-we call the English race? And why is that
very similar mixture across -the Channel, of-
Gau), Roman, Frank, Burgundian and Nor
man, the absolutely different light and glitter
ing metal which wecallthe people of France?
None of these queries seem easy to answer;
and yet, without replying to one or the other
in the ( affirmative, ho w are we to look at the
&ct of the immeasurable, indescribable differ
ence between the men, whmen and children,
the houses, the shops, the churches, the car
riages, the cattle, the food, the drink, the
furniture, the crockery, the very sounds and
smells which float upon the air,say,in a village
in Sussex, and in another village just over the
way in Normandy? . ' .
To take only one feature of the infinite
variety. If there be any place where we
might deem that human nature would con
stantly show itself the same it is a cemetery.
We may ; build different houses, wear differ
ent clothes, travel in different guise from the
cradle to the grave; ~ but when we come
ihtre, and only need the same narrow trench
in the soil of earth, only make the same
little mound in the soil,—Greek
or Baibariun, bond or tree,' shall not
our burial-place be always alike? Will not
the same bereaved affections of father,
mother, husband, brother, child, choose the
same forms of tenderness for the poor Te\ica
below? Strange to say, it is not so! No
where do nations show their divergencies
more than in the treatment of the dead; nor
dots it iitem possible to classify, under any
head of race or creed, the tendency of some
to display tenderness and respect for tho dust
of the departed, and of others to show a cal
lousness and indifference which we would
hardly feel for their worn-out apparel.
The tawdrines3 of a French burial-ground
is an amazement to the Saxon mind. The
reverence for the dead, which shows itself in
hanging on a gilt iron cross little pictures of
fashionable ladies kneeling at tombs,inscribed
• ma nitre, or d mon cousin, is strange,
to say the least. Bead-flowers . and
wreaths, twopenny" gilt vases containing
paper flowers, all in frames duly glazed,
things that look like chignons and ribglets
done in blackheads, garlands of immortelles
bought in shops ready inscribed to the lost
relation, little wooden stools stuck in the
ground ready for kneeling friends; above all,
plaster casts, large and small, of the Infant
Samuel, .planted in the middle of a grave,—
all these are remote enough from our render
' adjurations to the departed to pray for the
living may, of course,' be accounted for by
Catholic doctrines; but even these are singu
lar in our eyes. On a large number of
French tombs we have observed the entreaty
to the dead child, or dead young girl, to in
tercede in heaven for their afflicted survivors;
but we have never happened to find any
full grown man followed to the other world
by the same request! Now and then there
are epitaphs of the most touching kind;—like
the lollowing:
“Ne me plaignez pas?
•Si voue saviez comblen de peines
Ce tombfcau m'a tpargnees I"
Or this, a little more assuming:
“Seul a mon aurore,
Sent ii mon eouebant,
; Je suis seul encore id.”
' “Bnt in general, it must lie admitted, the sen-'
timentw very foreign to our feelings. On
the grave of an infant, oi four mouths old, we
have read the startling announcement, Son
dnw itait agriablc a Dieu, “and so He
took it back to Himself!” .
.But .meretricious as the prnameuta.jgf-iL
French cemetery commonly'are, antT ieriti
mental, it not silly, as are often the inscrip
-■■■■••—ti®ns on the graves, it mustdre-admitted that
the utier absurdity, the inciedible vulgarity
of English 'epitaphs can be matched nowhere
across the Channel. That poor little b iby-'
soul of sixteen weeks, whose “ngrecability”
is asserted, is not so rldiecdous'as the British
infant of the same speechless ago, whose
, Bbakesperian parents, .inscribed over hot little
■coipse: \
“She never Mid her ion; 1
Nor yet as a small boy, who received this
obiiuary not H-- ( ‘
;”ihongfew« thus take leave of tree in the papers...
'Wf shall not so won forge! thine innocent,

There is no 41 Lady O’Looney ’’ hidden
beneath the sods of France,,nor any gren
adier dike him of Winchesters— , .

.V .beer.” tjf: ■-$ ■’ .>,
Tfcsre ard no allßsionfbtt) “ Affliction sore,”
■or to that vanity of ’ ‘ physicians ” on which
the English bucolic mind has evidently -gloated
for centuries. No far-sighted prudence com
bines the epitaph and-the advertisement,
after the fashion of the tomb of Jonathan
Thompson
• ‘A good Husband, amt affectionate Father;
Whose disconsolate Widow’and Orphans
Continue to carry on the Tripe and Trotter bust-
ness '
At the same shop aa before their bereavement. •
Epitaphs 1b England are of three orders,
each with two classes. There is’the com
monplace unobjectionable (such as the mere
name and date, with a text or two added),
and the commonplace extremely objection
able, such'as:
“Affliction sore, Long time I bore.”
Then there is the grotesque intentional, and
the grotesque unintentional. Among the
former we should rank the epitaph on Mr.
Foote, of Norwich:
“Here lies one Foote, whose death may thou
sands save, , . , „
For Death hath now one foot within the grave.
And the one on Mr. Box:
“Here lies one Box within another,
The one of wood was very good, _ t
We.cannot say no much lor t’other.
Also the famous one of Sir -John Strange :
“Here lies an honest lawyer,
’ That is Strange !”
And Albert Dtlrer’s epitaph for himself—cer
tainly the shortest, and perha boat in
the world—the meet inscription for the closed
door of the House appointed for all living,
the one word “Emigravit.”
Again, there is Franklin s famous epitaph
for himself
“The Body of ■ >al
BENJAMIN FKANKLIN,
Printer,
Like the cover of an old book,
Its contents tom out, ,
And stripped of its lettcrlng and gilding,
Lies here, food for worms,
Yet the work itself stall not be lost,
For it will (as he believed) appe.ir.onqe moro,
In a new and more beautiful edition,
Corrected and amended
by
The AuriiOß."
Or this one on a bellows-maker:' x
“Hero lies John Mellows,’
The Prince of Good Fellows,
Clerk of All-hallows, ': -
And maker of b llows,
He bellows did mend till, the day of his death;
But he who made bellows could never make
breath.”
Or this, at Manchester, on an old man:
"Here lies John.llili, •
A man of skill,
His ape was rive times ten;
He ne’er did good,
Nor ever Would,
Had ho lived as long again.”
Or this on a dyer:
‘ ‘Beneath this turf a man doth lie,
Who dyed to live, and lived to die.'’
As for thef unintentionally grotesque
epitaphs, they may be..found in almost every
churchyard in England. Now and then,
when we hear of them, we have a suspicion
that they are “too good to be true,” but he
who has had any experience of British monu
mental stupidity, will hesitate to put limits to
the absurdity it may display. The following
are a few which wo call to mind, omitting
such as we happen to have elsewhere seen in
print. Can anything be more simply touch
ing than the second line of this couplet: —
“IN MEMORY OF JOHN DALY, &c.
Bo died of a Quinsy,
And was buried at Binsy."
Or the third of this triplet
“Here lieth wrapped in clay,
The body of William Wray .
—I have no more to say.”
There is certainly no lack of faith displayed
in the following, which is, we believe, to be
found in Sunbury churchyard:
“A- B
Left Snnbury,
* And Blurted for Paradise,
June 25th, 18—.”
Very different is the sceptical, not to say
rollicking, tone of the inscription over a cer
tain Gabriel John:
“Hero lies the hotly of Gabriel John,
Who died in ihe year eighteen hundred and one.
prut for his sonl or let it alone,
For it isail one to Gubriel John,
v\ ho died in the year eighteen hundred and one. ’
i- There is a / fearful weight of inuend
conveyed in this stem, brief notice in the
chuiehyard of Cotton-llackctt, Worcester
shire:
•‘Here lieth the body of John Galeyin expecta
tion of lbo Last Day.
)FAu: tort oj a man he was that day tail! discover.'
We might rather, have imagined such an
epitaph for Napoleon IH. than for the clerk of
a quiet English parish.
Here is a cruel remark on a doctor:
“Here ließ the corpso of Dr. Chard,
Who filled the half of this churchyard;”
and a still more unpardonable one on a lady,
possibly of those loquacious tendencies too
often harshly attributed to her sex:
“Here rests in silent clay,
Miss Arabella Young,
Who, on the 21st of May,
z Fold liertongue."
This is as bad as the unkind hint conveyed
in the following:
" ‘ ‘Here lies Margaret Sexton,
Who never dia aught to vex one,
Not like the woman under the next stone."
We know that next door neighbors, living
in towns are apt to dislike each other, and
we bave heard a gifted Jady vonture on the
splendid scientific generalization, that “peo
ple who live next door always play the
piano badly." But it is rather too hard to
cast coyert sarcasms after the demise of both
parties on “the woman under the next
stone!”
The following is simple, at all events. It
is at Melton Mowbray, In Leicestershire:
“Here lies the wife of Simon Stokes,
Who lived and died like other folks.”
Grief and selfishness are finely mingled in
the following, by a widower:
“I’vo lost the comfort of my life, „
Death came and took away my wife.'
And now I don’t know what to do,
Lest death should come and take me too.”
Grammar is postponed in the next to hic(h
poetical and moral considerations:
“She's gone and.cannot come to we,
ButweßhaUshotiry'gd to sfie'.”" " *
Another is grossly personal:
“Reader! wherever thou be, oh, tread not hard,
BorTadlow 11cb all ovor this churchyard.”
In the churchyard of St. John, Worcester,
there is an epitaph which, if brevity be. the
soul'of tif^Sfv-onaractrbr'. -
The arrangement of the auxiliary verb is, at
b all. events, original. .It reads,thus—„. ,
“ Honest John
’» dead apd gone I”
A “happy conceit,” it was doubtless
thought, in lu-fO. to write ovet-e member of
Pal !i uncut named Whito7
O ,
“ Bfro Has a John, a burning, shining .light,
Vi lion; nunic, iifi;, ueiidiifi,’ ail alike were Whitt!”
The following would be set down as
Irbh, hut we believe it may claim a Baxon
oiigin:
PAb. cruel Death 1 Whyso unkind, ■
To lake hi'r, and leave me behind ?
Better 10 have taken both or neither,
It would have been more kind to the survivor!'’

Facetious, friendly, witty? just ana good;
In this loved homo Is fully understood; . , _
For it includes whato’er we virtue ball,
And is the hieroglyphic of them aU.
That “facetiousness” is a virtue, and a vir
tue to be inscribed on a tombstone,is a rather
new idea to us, still, there is a great deal to
be said in its favor. A curious study of na
tional character of different ages and classes,
might be made ,by notipg the spe
cial- qualities selected for approval,
and of the many human merite heaped on
the deserving and undeserving dead. As
none bnt an Irishman would have chosen
“facetious” as a choice epithet Of approval,
bo none but an Italian would have praised a
deceased marquis, scion of one of the great
historic houses of Florence, by describing
him (as we have seen on his funeral tablet)
hs rental liable, for jruf/ality. An English
nobleman would hardly have accepted the
phrafe as laudatory, and as to an Irish one,
no more cruel outrage could be perpetrated
on his helpless corpse, than to place over
it Bitch a word.
We have-*always felt satisfied that that
most delicious of all epitaphs which cele
brates the virtues of Lady O’Looney, must
bavo been composed by her confidential
maid. We only repeat it here to illustrate our
hypothesis: ' '
“Here lies Lady O’Looney, . . '
Great Diece of Burse, commonly cuHca The
■“ Sublime,’.
(Do we not know how often . the departed
tady must have told her maid of her dis
tinguished relationship, and of Burke’s
sobriquetl)
“She was bland, passionate, and deeply religions;
(The “blandhesß” had been a matter of re
mark down stairs; the “passionateness,” alas!
perhaps a matter of exoerience. -The. con
junction of the two qualities, and the simple
unvarnished veracity by which they are
followed by deep piety, speak trumpet
tongued for the integrity of the faithful
domestic.)
, “Also she painted in water colors;
(“Also” leads up finely from the deep reli
giousness to the^great event of Lady O’Loo
uey’s life.) ' . .
“And sent several pictures to the Exhibition,
(Where, oh, where, arid when, was held the
Exhibition which should have been made
lorever memorable by th'e “several pictures’
>f the gifted lady which adorned its walls—
she Exhibition which to her devoted follower
was manifestly the only Exhibition in the
world worthy of the name?)
“She was first cousin of Lady Jones,
(Crowning triumph of life, and at the same
time valuable genealogical indication.)
“Apd of such 1b the Kingdom of Heaven !”
(Namely, of bland, passionate and deeply
/eligious ladies; of artists and exhibitors in
water-colors; and, above all, of cousins
iterman to Lady Jones. The sudden turn ot
this phrase to the Scriptural arid prophetic
utterance after the more didactic treatment ot
the subject in the earlier .part of the epitaph,
is one of the most striking in the range of lit
erature. The mantle of Lady O’Looney’a
lilafid religion had certainly descended—prob
ably with the rest of .her wardrobe—to her
encomiast.)
. To 1 stve these speculations; 9hall we class
among the intentionally or unintentionally
grotesque epitaphs the following composed
by three Scotch friends, to whom the
person commemorated had left a lega
ey, with the hope expressed that they
a ould honor him by some record of their re
ireit? The first friend composed the line
which naturally opened the epitaph- ■
Provost Peter Patterson was Provost of Dundee,
'lie second added:
“Provost Peter Patterson, here lies he,
The third could suggest no other conclusion
than
'Hallelujah ! Hallelujee!
The following must-have been battering to
he bereaved widower •
•‘Here lit s the body of Mary Ford,
Whose soul, we trust, is with the Lord;
BDt it for hell she’s changed this life,
’T is better than berng John Ford’s wife.”
We wonder whether the. old bachelor com
uanorattd in the next wou d have eudamed
he epitaph provided for him:
“At threescore winters’ end I tiled,
A cheerless being, lone and sad >
The nuptial knot I never tied,
And wished my father never had!"
There are dc par Ic monde a number of
pitapbs the absurdity of which consists in
he substitution of a wrong name for the de
ceased person to accommodate toe exigencies
id the poet. One of them runs thus:
“Undtrncath this ancient pew.
Lie the remains of Jonathan Blue,
• His name was Black, but that wouldn’t do. - ’
And another:
Underneath this stone aged threescore and
ten,
Lie the remains of William Wood-hen."’
For Hen, read Cock—Cock wouldn’t come in
rhyme.) .
We confess we are sceptical about’the au
thenticity of these various readings, as also of
the epitaph on the architect Trollope:
• “Here lies William Trollope,
Who made these stones roll up;
When death took his soul up,
His body filled this hole up.
No doubts however, attach to the sweet
agricultural simplicity which breathes through
the following: v
"Hero I lies, and no wonder I’m dead,
For the wheel of a wagon went over my head.”
A vciy facetious story is told in some quar
ters of a pauper, who, having died in a work
house, was to be bruised in the most econom
ical fashion. The master proposed to inscribe
over his tombstone:
“Thomas Thorps,
His corpse.”
The guardians at the next meeting of the
board indignantly forbade such a profligate
expenditure of the rates, and ordered the epi
taph to be curtailed thus:
"Thorps’
Corpse.”
The narrators of this anecdote are grossly
ignorant of Poor-law management. Any
tomfcmone; or- any epitaph whatcverWor a
pauper, would never have been dreamed of
by either master or guardians.
Perhaps the most absurd of all epitaphs is
that attributed to a pyrotechnist who died a
. lev/ years ago. In the course of his travels
he had !)eeq_i^mansely.struck i .bxJß..inserip i
lion on the grave of the great muaicalcom
puser Purcell :
“ He is gone wbere'alone can he
" exceedtd.”
Fired by laudable ambition to secure such
praise, Mr. B. requested that over his tomb
might be wiitten:-- ■ -....
, “He is gone where alone his iiremrks can be
excel did,” . . . .... ..
A fu r all these ridiculous instances of gro
isque epitaphs, we have no heart to speak
of ihe remaining class of mortuary inscrip
lioris,—the lew, the very few, ia Eaglisn,
which are reullygoocl; good either as poetry, 1
or because their, directness and bimplijity
moke thim affecting.
Certainly we cannot class with either of
these the lost we shall quote, a real epitaph, ,
and a whole satire toos ,

that a dispatch was sent as stated, with the knowledge

Mr. OcwtouKo, of New York; said be also had bad
capiat of those dispatches Which had been read in the
Boose of Reftrasgntativta with letters in vindication
of Mr. Harvey. He believed the charge cruelly unjust.

be kept secret, and carried it himself to Mr. Lincoln..
who expressed as mnch surprise as be did. «Itfeeemed
strange that toch'an important matter which they de
sired to keep entirely secret should be revealed by a
member of the administration without consulting
other members of the Cabinet.
Mr. Ahthohy, ofßbode Island, said his recollection
was that each a charge had been made, bet that upon
investigation it waa fannd that the dispatch was sent
v.lih the consent ot the administration.

Mr. JohbsOK, of Maryland, wae ante the Senator
frost Pennsylvania (Mr. Cameron) waa right; that
Harvey did transmit those dispatches without his
knowledge, hot waaegnaDy ants that it was with the
knowledge of tbo Secretary of State, and as Harvey
supposed, with the knowledge of President Lincoln.
Having been on friendly terms with Harvey, he (Mr.
Johnson) believed that what he did wae with that
conviction, and with a purpose, A great many things
were done at that period, doubtless, that were not
made known to the Secretary of War. The Secretary
of State, no donbt patriotic really fora time, carried
on the War and Navy Departments, acting In many
particulars without tbo knowledge of the.! beads of
either.'who were mote astonished afterwards than
anybody else on finding oat what had been done.
Mr. Cahkeoh said it waa a remarkable assertion
that Mr. Seward had carried on the War Department.

Mr. Seward never meddled with it. He dared say
that gentleman had' very often told the Senator from
Maryland things which probably were not exactly cor
rect. If hehad aaidthla he certainly had satd what
waa not true. Mr. Haney waa not empowered by the
administration, though he might have been by Mr.
Sevraid, In his policy of finding toe war in sixty day,.
. He (Mr , Camenmjnevar believed thst-by tempo
rizing dr by flattering'or coaxing the rends they
could make peace. He believed then, what circum
stances since bad proved, that the only way to end
the war waa to treat them with the most perfect rigor,
lie did not believe thit Mr. Seward had Interfered with
the Navy Department either He suggested that the
beat way would be to pace a reso'ntion asking Mr.
Seward whether ha did; authorize Mr. Harvey to give
that information to the Governor of Sooth Carolina at
that time.
Mr. Hesnaunw asked whether the information
communicated In the telegram did not truly represent
the judgment of the Cabinet.
Mr. < iimznos said thepodey of the Cabinet in that
particular was changed, eo that he could not answer
the question, nor would he if he could. It was a
ncret that be ought not to communicate. >
Mr. Jonrtaon. of Maryland, explained .that he had
merely intended to say that many acts were done ba

HEW VOBK CCBTOX HOUSE
The CuAin laid before the Senate a communication
from the Secret*’!? of the Tr-a*ury in reply to a reso
lution making inquiry about the increase In the num
ber of employes in the New York Custom House,
which atatee that from July 20,1887, to the date of the
resolution, there has been an increase In the force of
the customs department at New York of fifteen clerks,
twenty-two inspectors, twenty night inspectors, one
examiner, two messengers, and ten temporary clerks
since dlscbared, at an aggregate annual cost of $78,-
-800. The Secretary states that this increase Of toree
was absolutely necessary for the proper discharge of
the business of the port; and with regard to the
twenty-two inspectors, he says they were appointed
for the purpose of carrying out tbctDopartmcnt regu
lation)) concerning the exports of'oils, tobacco, and
-spirit* of domestic j reduction, and that the increased
expense is more than compensated for by the fees col
lected on each exports.
in regard to the remaining Increase above specified,.
the Collector of New York reports that the employ
ment of sneb officers and consequent expense wete
-rendered uecessary.by the large amount of work fallen
in arrears during the past admlnlstrttlons of the cus
tom-house.by reason of the revival of the legal division,
and by reason of the laborious statistical returns, ware
house accounts, Ac., now required to he made.
I The Secretary also gives the Collector’s statement
that no reduction oTforeehasberetofore been feasible,
but that If business continues to fall off, seme redac
tion can probably bo made at an early dav.

The second section fixes the number of enlisted men

The third section repeals tho fourth section of the

A discussion which hinged principally upon the
disposition of unexpended balances In the Navy De
partment, and extended to the question of economy
and extravagance, sprang up, and was participated in
by Mesrrs. Washbnrne. of Illinois, Logan, Pike.
Wood, bpalding, Banks, Myers, Randall, Archer
and Butler.
Mr. WasHnriKz said that theflret estimates fur
nished by the Secretary of the Navy were for $47,000,-
000; that his amended estimates reduced the amount
to $25,000,000. and tliat tbe Committee on Appropri
ations had reduced that to SIB,OOO,OIKJI Under sach
circumstances he did not think that any information
which could be got from the present Secretary of tho
Na»y, would be rufiicicntly reliable to guide the
House in legislation,
Tbe administration of the Secretary of the Navy,
and his reports and coil nates, were generally de
fended by Messrs. Pike, Wood, Spalding, Randall, and
Archer, and a long letter from the Secretary himself
was read in piecemeal, and at various inte-vals, ac
cordingly as Democratic members got the floor and
yielded their time for the reading of the letter.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, offered an amend
ment providing that all unexpended balances subject
to ihe order of the Secmary of the Navy on Jnlyl,
lbflS, shall be covered into the Treasury, so that no
amount appropriat din (ho bill shall be expended dr
drawn while anyothor unexpended moneys are sab •
jeet to the order of the Secretary of tbe Navy. Agreed
to.
Mr. Bax kb criticized tho alacrity of the Secretary
of tbeNnvy in adapting himself to the resolution ot
Lhcllonsr requiriig a reduction of officers at the
navy-yards, such resolution being merely nn ex
pression of opinion, not having the force of a law;
acd asked Mr.* Washburne If* he could give auy ex
planation :*
Mr. WAsniiußNE declared his inability to <lo so,
sayiugthat the waysof the Secretary were past find
ing but.; . . .
. Mri Baxuall Said bo bad culled on the Secretary in
relation to that matter, and found that tho .Secretary
fcltbonnd to respect the expressed wish of the Bouse
Knowing tbe malignity of the public press, and of
some members towards the Secretary, he (Mr. Ran
dall) did nov attempt to change the "Secretary's de
cision. Ho declared that tho Navy Department was
managed with more economy and honesty than any
other department of tho government.
