THE TWO ARMIES.
As life's unenuing column pours.
Two marshalled hosts are seen—
Two armies on the trampled shores
That death flows black between.
One marches to the drum-beat’s roll.
The wide-mouth clarion’s bray,
And bears a crimson scroll,
“Our glory is to slay."
One moves in silence by the stream.
With sad, yet watchful eye,
Calm as the patient planet’s gleam
That walks the clodded sky—
Along Its front no sabres shine.
No Blood-red pennons wave;
Its banner bears a single line,
“Our duty is to save.**
For those no death-bed’s lingering shade;
At honor's trumpet call.
With knitted brow and lifted blade.
In glory’s arms they fall.
For these no flashing falchions bright,
No stirring battle cry;
The bloodless stabber calls by night—
Each answers, “Here am I!”
For those the sculptor’s laureled bust,
The builder’s marble piles,|
The anthems pealing o’er their dust
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the blossom-sprinkled turf,
That floods the lonely graves
When spring rolls in her sea-green surl
In flowery-foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below.
And angels wait above,
Who couut each burning life-drop’s flow,
Each falling tear of love.
Though from the Hero’s bleeding breast
Her pulses freedom drew,
Thuogh the white lillies in her crest
Sprang from the scarlet dew—
While valor’s baughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown.
Love walks unchallenged through the gate
To sit beside the throne!
[O. W. Holmra.
THE DYING COMMODORE.
From the New York Sun.
Commodore Vanderbilt lives on, much
emaciated, and suffering more from chronic
hemorrhoids than from his bladder. The lat
ter, when affected, threw him into cold
chills. He may linger on for weeks, possi
bly a month or more, hut has disposed ol
his mind, estate and family affairs, and has
nothing of this life to occupy his thoughts.
While saying little to his religious adviser
on sp ritual things, he has at times conversed
with h : s family and friends on a future state
in a homely and original manner, showing
that he has orthodox views of the origin and
fate of man and trust in the mercy of God
to his helpless creatures. His discussion of
religious subjects partakes in clearsighted
ness and decision of his worldly conversa
tion. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her mother have
been as faithful nurses of this aged man as
if he were a sick lad, and his consideration
lor his wife is a pleasantly pathetic part of his
rugged career. She was the means of hav
ing him endow Vanderbilt University,
which, unlike many other such bequests, is
founded on no contingency, but is forever
self-supporting, and is as much a subject of
piide with William H. Vanderbilt as with
his father. Between William H. and the
Commodore anew and warm affection
sprang up about five years ago, much
stronger and more perceptible than in ear
lier life, when William H. was a farmer
and the senior was battling with the specu
lative and material world.
It is believed that nothing will follow the
decease of Commodore Vanderbilt to the
prejudice of the perfect continuance of the
Central and Harlem Rai/roads under one
absolute and unqualified management, indeed
one ownership. In that road are 900,000
shares, of which at least two-thirds are in
the hands of father and son. The death of
neither will impair the firm and vigorous
administration of this property, and the pro
prietorship of the stock is now so solidly
held that no assaults upon it will merit atten
tion.
It wou/d be premature to say anything
about the Commodore's disposition of his
estate, and he has kept his own counsel, but
his friends entertain no doubt that he has
not been forgetful of good for the city of
New York, not on/y as concerns the near
future, but the long-to-come revenues ol his
property. vSome time ago, when a rich
man died without any charitable provision,
Vanderbilt said he “died like an ass.”
William H. Vanderbilt, who will hereaf
ter be a prominent character of this commu
nity and country, is a peculiar product of
his father's policy in human natute. He
believed that no man was fit for the very
great duties of life until he was at least forty
years of age. He therefore placed Wiliam
H. at an agricultural college until he was
seventeen years old, and then made a farmer
of him and recommended him to marry
young. The son took for a wife the daugh
ter of a Presbyterian minister near Albany
and returned to the farm on Staten Island,
where he remained until he was forty four
years old, having been married twenty-three
years at the date of that age. Then when
he had learned to labor, to manage, and to
superintend, the Commodore called him to
New York and made him Vice-President of
the Harlem railroad. The splendid farm on
Staten Island is now Wm. H. Vanderbilt’s
property. He planted a lane of cherry trees
a mile long and has one field of timothy of
100 acres. At the railroad office at the foot
of Thirteenth street the son went to work in
the most assiduous manner until he mastered
the railroad business, and has probably no
superioron this continent as an administra
tive officer. Wm. H. Vanderbilt was born
at New Brunswick, N. J.,May 8, 1821. He
has eight children-the eldest daughter mar
ried to Col. Shepard, the second to a son of
Mr. Sloan, the carpet merchant. His eldest
son, Cornelius, is Treasurer of the railroad,
aged thirty-two; the second son is William
K„ aged twenty-six, private secretary ofhis
father.

THE DAILY TIMES.
Mmnmlr., ttkull. and Idol* on the
Auction Block.
From the Now York Sun.]
Antiquity resumed its reign yesterday,
roaring its throne in the Clinton Hall auc
tion rooms. Yellow-skinned mummies,
hideous stone and wooden idols, and grin
ning human skulls were its visible forms.
A pamphlet catalogue made it known that
the antiquities are Peruvian, and that
they are the property of a man who ex
humed an anelent graveyard on the site
of ono of the temples of the Incas near
Lima, and that the public is expected to
buy them. About a hundred persons as
sembled to see this queorost of auctions.
Several women examined the aged-grim
med mummies with a deep Interest. The
gem of the collection is a mummy still
wrapped in its cerements, and looking
like a bundle of old bedclothes. Specula
tion ran high os to what might be found
after this bundle was unrolled, because
the old Peruvians had a custom of wrap
ping up with tho preserved bodies of men
and women not only rich garments, ugly
weapons, kitchon utensils, and farming
implements, but costly jewels of gold and
silver.
“Now, then,” the auctioneer said, as he
confidently mounted tho auction block,
“will anybody bid on this mummy. Re
member, nobody knows what its got in
side. Thero may be something very val
uable there.”
Everybody stared at his neighbor and
at the ghastly goods that the auctioneer
was offering, but nobody ventured to bid.
At length a man in a far off corner— a man
who clearly had speculation in his eye
muttered in a hesitating way, “Five dol
lars.” The auctioneer raised his eyebrows
and tho owner of tho mummies scowled.
Tho spectators lookod at each other sug
gestively, but said nothing.
“We don’t want to throw away mum
mies,” tho auctioneer said. “Start it at S2O
and let it run up.” But nobody wanted a
mummy in bis house, and nobody would
start it, and so tho grinning skulls were
taken up. "Here aro thirty-five skulls—
skulls of men, and of women, and of chil
dren—with the hair beautifully preserved.
How much for the lot ?” “Fifty dollars,”
shouted a gentleman, whom everybody at
once took for a phrenologist. “Fifty-five,”
chimed in another. Lively bidding fol
lowed, and the skulls wero knocked down
for SB7 50.
Then somebody called for another chance
at the mummies, and, after seme chaffing,
the owners consented to let the bystand
ers begin the bidding on tho wrapped-up
mummy at $5, and it was sold for sll.
Then an unwrapped and peculiarly horri
ble mummy was knocked down at $3, and
three baby mummies, one with a grlmson
skull, wero knocked down at a dollar and
a half apiece.
A “dissected dog," which looked as
though an elephant had stepped on It, was
sold for $1.50. Ancient mortars, grinding
stones, fishing nets and ropos were rattled
off for a few shillings, and then attention
was attracted to a wooden idol, eight feet
high, which, at the beck of the auctioneer,
and by tho agency 'of a boy behind it,
wnlkod out from the wall, and grimly
nodod to tho bidders. A stout, good-na
tured woman bought it for $3.50. An idol,
only six high, was sold to a man for half
that sum.
Ancient standards, flags of indeseriba
•blo doth, clubs and other woapons, and
other artificial heads of stuffed woolen
cloth were sold at good prices. Then tho
stout woman, beaming with smiles,bought
two little idols to keep tho big ones com
pany. She also did some spirited bidding
on some “funeral ornaments” in the form
of sticks wound with colored cards and
hung with woolen tags, but a solemn vis
agod man got them for about $4.
Some beautiful seals and hieroglyphics
cut in wood, with marvelous skill, sold
for only *1.75. A beautiful string of orna
mental beads yielded sl3, and four silver
chalices, ingeniously wrought, were sold
for $8.50. Beautiful terracotta jare and
vases. ornamented with tho figures of
quadrupeds and men’s faces, exhumed
from the ancient graves eighty feet below
tho surface, wero sold at from $1 to sls
each. A lot of littlo grinning idols went
off at a lively rate.
The stout woman got an armful, and as
the number diminished the excitement in
creased until the table was surrounded by
men pushing one another, and each hold
ing a dingy little idol in his hand and
shouting, “I’ll take him for five cents."
“I’ll give a dollar for two.” A priest’s
toga, which looked in color and figuring
like a country bedquilt, was sold for sl2,
and a gown of exquisitely beautiful birds’
feathers was knocked down at $3.
After all the “antiquities” had been sold
the men, who looked like Sunday-school
teachers, slipped out of the hall down the
back stairs, with little idols peeping from
their pockets.
No Laokr Is Town. —A laughable inci
dent is told of a German and bis wife who
visited Ocean Grove the other day. Going
into the iee cream garden the man asked for
beer for two.
“Zwei glass peer.”
“Eh?” said the clerk.
“Zwei glass peer,” (with more emphasis.)
"What is it you want?”
“Peer! peer! peer! Zwei glass.”
The clerk failed to comprehend, and
began to experiment by placing two plates
of ice cream before the pair.
“Ugh! Take away dit shtoof! we vant
peer—lager.”
“Oh! Lagerbeer, eh?”
“Yaw—yaw! dot is richt. Zwei glass.”
“We haven't any—don’t keep it”
“You no keep him? Veil, vere can ve

"Nowhere. You can’t get any in the

“Can’t get any peer—no lager? Mein Got

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Moll Itrpurt* troni Kavnnnnli
The condition of our city for the
past twenty-four hours, says tho
Morning News of Tuesday, has been
suoh as to inspiro the hope that we
have passed the crisis of tho disease,
and that from this time until frost,
uuder favorablo atmospheric condi
tions, the death rute will gradually
decrease. It will boseen by the mor
tuary report published elsewhere that
the total deaths from all causes
for the tweuty-lour hours ending
yesterday evening were 22, of which
18 were from yellow fever. We can
only trust that the worst is over, and
and that a kind Providence may lift
the weight of sorrow which has
pressed so heavily upon us. The ac
counts from our sister city, Bruns
wick, aro of a most distressing char
acter, and out of our little store we
have sent them relief. If, as we hope,
our worst is over, how gladly will our
people fly to tho succor of the dis
tresed in that city.
A gentleman, how in this city, per
mits us to make the following ex
tract from a letter received by him,
showing that the Isle of Hope even
is uotsafe from the pestilence:
Isle of Hope, Sept. 24,187 G.
I need not toll you of the yellow fe
ver in the city; you get it from the
newspapers. Johnnie, my offloe
boy, is down with it In town. Ho
left here yesterday at 10 o’clock a. m.,
as lively as a cricket, and failed to
return.
We are getting a little nervous out
here. Dr. Stone is still with us; his
family leave for New York to-mor
row. One man very sick at Dows’,
next door; a woman sent to town
from Bacon’s—both cases from Sa
vannah. I shall send my family to
Liberty county, if possible.

How the Whiskey Ring Originated.
Cleveland, Ohio, September 20.
To the Editor of the Cincinnati En
quirer:—! have just conversed with
one of our citizens who was lately in
St. Louis. Ho says that Joyce ex
plains, if not justifies, the origin of
the whiskey frauds of which he was
the victim. According to Joyce they
were originally planned by Delano
and Boutwell, while they were In tho
Cabinet, in order to raise funds to
carry the elections. Theft for per
sonal advantage was not originally
contemplated; but, the elections over,
McKee, Joyce and others put into
practical execution for their own ben
efit the lessons taught by Boutwell
and Delano for the benefit of the Re
publican party. This additional fact
shows the utter rottenness of the Re
publican organization. The German
vote here is almost a unit for Tiiden.

The convention re-assembled at 3

TWEED AND HUNT.
THEY ARK TAKEN TO THE FRANK*
UN.
Hunt UeleaMed.
New York, Sept. 27.—A special dis
patch from Vigo says Tweed was re
moved at half-past 9 last evening
from his fprtress prison to the Frank
lin. Tweed offered no objection to
his removal. Ho was treated with
every consideration, the quarters of
Rear Admiral Cove wero assigned to
him.
Tweed’s companion, W. Hunt, was
taken on board the Franklin, but al
most immediately set at liberty.
Hunt looks like a mechanic. In an
interview with Hunt, after his re
lease he was very reticent, refusing
to give the history of their wander
ings, and still maintains that his
friend Secor was not Wm. M. Tweed.
Hunt, after leaving the Franklin,
went immediately to see an Ameri
can friend at tho Hotel Europa, who
was registered there under the name
of It. Sands. Sands is considered
here to be Tweed’s sod, by a Span
iard, who professes to have known
him in New York City.
There was much opposition here to
the surrender of Tweed to the Amer
ican authorities, and tho action of
the Government was almost univer
sally condemned.
The hour for the departure of the
Franklin is set for 2 o’clock this
evening.

given Mr. Baring, Secretary of the
British Legation, a seat on the mix
ed commission, to try persons im
plicated in tho Bulgarian atrocities.
The Prince of Montenegro has or
dered a suspension of hostilities un
til October 2d.
A Reuter dispatch from Constanti
nople says there is every reason to
believe tho Porte’s reply is favorable
to tho peace propositions. It has
been decided to have an Elective
Council, consisting of 30 Christian
and 30 Musselmon, to carry into effect
the reforms demanded by the powers.
Vienna, Sept, 27 .—Political Corres
pondence has a seml-ofliciul article on
the proclamation of Princo Milan as
King, as follows! “The Austro-
Hungarian government cunnot allow
any doubt to bo entertained on one
part, viz: That it would in no case
recognize the title of King if it were
conferred on Prince Milan, aud that
political consequences sought to bo
drawn from such au act would en
counter its determined protest.”
St. Petersburg, Sept. 27.—Tho
Russian consul at Belgrade has been
instructed to declare that Russia can
in no case support tho proclamation
of Prince Milan as King.

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE PREVAIIING,
Berlin, Sept. 27.—Emperor William
in addressinga deputation on tho Eas
tern question in the Statlgust to-day,
says Gen. Abasia now upears to have
beou for a policy of tho great powers
which we may fairly hope will lead
to a very satisfactory result.
London, Sept. 27.—A special from
Germany to tho Evening Standard,
says the Servian Government has
yieided to tho pressure put upon it
by Gen. Tchernayeff. Minister Res
tret refrains to accept a prolongation
of the armstice for eight days, and in
point of fact hostilities have now re
commenced. The proclamation of
Prince Milan us King is expected very
shortly.
A Reuter dispatch has tho follow
ing from Belgrade:
M. Rest.ret, the Servian Minister,
last night gave a note to the English
and Italian Consuls, recapitulating
the complaints made against the
Turks for breaches of tho armistice,
and pointed out that collisions would
continue to recur if hostilities were
merely suspended for eight days, as
proposed by the Porte.
The note of M. Rostret concludes
as follows : "I tuko the liberty of re
questing you to make known that
the Prince’s government regret that
it is unable to order the prolongation
of a state of things which experience
has shown to be impracticable. The
Government, at the same time, ex
presses an earnest wish for the con
clusion of a formal armistice, under
such conditions and of such duration
as would lead to the attainment of
the end in view, namely, peace.”
Router’s has also the following dis
patch from Belgrade:
At a council of ministers held yes
terday over which Prince Milan pre
sided, it was unanimously decided
to reject the conditions of peace re
cently elaborated by the powers and
tho Porte. Tho council resolved that
Servia should not submit except in
the event of foreign occupation, and
to fight aboutrance until the indepen
dence of Servia and Bosnia is se
cured.
The Servians yesterday burned two
bridges which had been thrown over
tho Moravia by tho Turks. There
were also some engagements between
the outposts of the Servian and
Turkish armies.

said,“Let’s.” Tho great and good muu
so lately discovered was not in his
office at tho Capitol, so we, crossed
the street aud took a pull at the bell
at the office of the edifice in which
tho lately found salvation of our
country resides. What, it is to be
suddenly discovered! Yesterday
Rutherfood B. walked unnoticed by
men among men. Had any ono said
unto another, “There is Hayes.” the
other would have retorted, probably,
“Tho h—l you say!” Now the bells
ring incessantly, and wise men
from the East passing through
Columbus on their way to Cin
cinnati!, or St. Louis, or Chicago,
on business, stop, merely to pay
their respects. That is all. I assure
you that is tho end of it, and having
paid out this cheap commodity they
go their ways. But, strange to
say, one and all ate suddenly
that night telegraphed to return,
at once, and no ouo of them
visits Cincinnati, St. Louis or Chica
go. A number of these wiso men of
the East were present, doing homage
to the new found saviour, born notiu
a stable but a pork-house.
“I am Colonel Leatherlungs, of
Maine, Governor, on my way tu St.
Louis on business. Could not resist
the temptation to call and pay my
respects. lam the more interested,
Governor, from the fact that I said
from the start—l may say the first
man in our State—to utter tho senti
ment that if wo hoped to succeed
Rutherford B. Hayes was our man.”
“I have heard that,” said Comly,
aside, “sixteon times a day. Every
visit is a casualty. Every man has
business West, and every mother’s
son of them was the first to discover
Hayes.”
