ONE OF THE STRANGEST SIGHTS IN THAT STRANGE TOWN. americans Buried Far from Home, Tomb of the Author of “Home, Sweet Home ' Verses Oyer the Grave of a Politician, The old Christian jcemetery at Tunis is one of the strangest sights in that strange town. Justoff a busy thorough fare, under an ancient archway, is a heavy wooden gate, much worn by the lapse of tim=, thickly studded with fan tasie nails, and provided with a prodigi ous knocker. The latter, however, is not ueeded, for the gate yields to an en ergctic push, and you find yourself in a large, walled enciosure, half garden, half graveyar?, where an ltalian woman 1s hanging out clothes among the gaunpt, white tombs. Itis 12 years since any one was bur ed there, and the place is beginning t look neglected. The mod ecn cemetery is unow outside the walls, and its guardian says that many people ¢ me to him to inquire for the monu ment of an ‘*American poet,’”’ or an ‘A merican consul.” and he has to send them to the oid graveyard. The monu ment in question is that of the aathov of “Home, Sweet Home,” avd it bears the followinyu iuscription upon its sides: “In memory of John Howard Payne, author of ‘Home, Sweet Home.” Born June 9, 1791; died April 9, 1852. Eerect ed A.D. .855. ‘A merican arms—eagle surmounted by motto ‘E planibus unum.’ Died at the American Consulate in Tunis. Aged 60 years and 10 months, “In the tomb beneath this stone the po et’s remains lay buried tcr thirty years, On Jan 5, 1883, they were disinterred and taken away to his native land, where they rezeived hounor and final burial in the city ot Washington, June 9, 1883. “T'hen be content poor heart” | sure when thy gentle spirit fled | To realms beyond the azure deme, ‘ With arms outstretched God’s un;:(-ll said, | “Welcome to Heaven’s Home, Sweet ‘ Home.” There is a certain appropriateness about the fact that the author of the ex ile’s pa betic anthem should have died 80 many thousand miles away from home. There are other graves in the cemetery, some of them with quaint in scriptions . James Dodge, an American charge d’affaires, who died at Tunis in 1806, has this piece of doggerel on his slab: A wit's a feather, and a chief’s a rod; An honest man’s the noblest work of God. i R Beauntiful Nentiment, On the recent occasion of the christen ing of the new battleship Kentucky Gov ernor Bradley ot that state, in response to the toust, “*The State of Kentucky,” uttered the following stirring and beautiful sentiment: ““The great ship which today gave her first kiss to the sea wuas not christened as were the ships of the practical Vik ings. She was christened with water fromm the sparkling spring at whieh Abraham Lincoln, the greatest states man of his time, had drunk. She will carry with her the prayer of m re chrie tian women than any vessel that sweeps the sea. The spirit of King Alcohol, which has desolated so many homes, will not bover vver her, but the spirit of pure wa'er with which G d has blest man.’’ Noble words these, and the more sig nificant coming from Kentucky's chief executive and ultered on an occasion whben all the subtie power of social senti ment is used against the spirit of tem perance.

An Old Fugitive sends a Prayer to the Governor. Governor Atkinson has received a letter from Sam Hill, who killed John Simmons in Atlanta twenty years ago and, after being acquitted of murder but sent to the asylum at Milledgeville, made his escape from that place. Hill wants to come back to nis native state. He is tired of being a fugitive from justice and has written to the governor to see if he will not encourage him in his d esire for a pardon if he returns and gives himself up to the officers of the law. A similar letter was sent to Governor Northen, but he would not give Hill any assurances of clemency unless he first surrendered. The letter just received was dated at Chicago, where it is believed Hili has been living for years past. Hill pro fesses to have become converted, and in his letter declares that he wishes to enter the army and fight against Spain, Hill killed Simmons on account of his wife, of whom he was very jealous. He accused Simmons of bhaving es tranged her from him, and, following bim to the old National Hotel saloon shot him down from the rear. Both men were familiar with thav class o “sport” that frequented that hotel and made it notorious, The murder was a great sensation, Hill’'s lawyers working the insanity dodge successful ly. When he escaped frem the asylum he left a note to the superintendent thanking him for many Kindnesses, Speciai attention paid to la dies and children at Farrar & Harris’ soda warter counter, the place where you can al ways get what you want.

A Chioese wiiter who recently made a tour of the United States assuie his jcountrymen that the Americans are barbarians, He says: “I'hey live months without eating a mouthful of rice; they eat Lullocks and sheep in large quunti ties; they have to bathe frequently; they eat meat with knives and prongs; they never enjoy themselves by sitting quiet ly on their ancestors’ graves, but jumup around and kick balls as if paid to do i, and they have no digmty, for they may be found walking with women.,”’ John T.

Your Old and aud Reliable Friends, N SeV) N G SPAIN TO FIGHT FOR YEARS, Views of a Diplomat Who 18 in the Secrets at Madrid, In an interview with a Spanish diplo mat who is in the service of the Maduid government he deuied that Spain would appeal to Europe after making a show of fighting, Oh the contrary, he said, she would tight for years 1f necessary to re tain Cuba. He repudiated the idea that the result of the war would be a repub- Jic in Spain. The Carlists, he asserted, were the sirongest party, and they woual:i help the government, while the Queen Regent was adored throughout the country. A republic may come some day, he said, *‘but pot unless Spain is defeated thoroughly and her vatioual honor 4s a kingdom defaced.

MOCK FUNERALS. They Were Held in Honor ‘of Wm. Henry Harrison After His Death. Spbaking of the mock funerals that used to be so common, especially in the south, a writer in an_Alexandria pape says: ‘‘After the death of President William H. Harrison, in 1841, there were ‘mock fuverals beld, I think, generally ‘over the country, by way of giving €X pression to the nation’s loss and his per sonal worth, I remember very dnatiuc_t ly there gathered upon the square in Charinttsville a band of music, a hearst with empty coffin, pall-bearers, ministers of all denominations, military and Ma sonic orders, students and professors from the urviversity, and a Jargejcor course of citizena; and that theis Was formed thence a line that marched 0 an open grave in a cemetery near Lhe town. The Rev. Richard K. Meade, of Cbrist church, after the coffin was lpwered into the graye, read the committal portiod ot the burial service of the church, the sol diers fired a yolley, and the Masopns clos ed the scene with- ceremonies usul 00 such occasions.” Sl ==l .oues
