THE HATS DROPS. How gently comcth down the rain! Shut out from earth the day-god sleeps, And each full cloud now saaiy weeps Its tribute on the springing grain. Tears! tears from nature's dewy eyes, Those rain-drops seem which fall to earth. They call the fruits and flowers to birth, And bid all perfumes sweet arise; Quivering on every leaf, they seem Like glittering pearl, or costly gem Which flash in eastern diadem, Or on the brow of beauty gleam. They come from heaven to cheer the thirsty plain, Cut soon on sunbeams they fly back again. ?Luther G. Biggs. A POINT OF HONOR. I was dining at table d'hote in the only country of Europe where a decent dinner is still to be got at such places, when my attention was attracted by a tall, reserved man, in the uniform of a cavalry officer, who sat at the head of a side table. Beside me was a Queen's messenger, Capt Bolton, who, of course, knew everything and every body, from the gossip of the legations which hevyj* ted in a professional capacity, so^rtght him who the grave-lookinjrsnJ^^ be. His reply was asJp#Tsisenburg," "That is FiehdJ^messenger, coolly, answered th^fljwfirst soldiers of our namingj^nways dines here, and has ajes^Pivar since I have been in the 00^"Odd place to pick up a Field Mar? shal, at a dinner in a public house, isn't it, at least in these piping times of peace ?" "Ha!" exclaimed Capt. Bolton, who, like several of the distinguished crops to which he belonged, is au agreeable rattler. "Ha, thereby hangs a tale?don't yon know it?" I had just returned?for I, too, am "in the line"?from Barataria, whither I had been sent by a grateful country for not belonging to one of the governing fami? lies then in power, so I replied, somewhat to Bolton's astonishment, "I did not know." "Well, then, remarked the Captain, gaily; "I will tell you when I have done with this pheasant and melon salad, which his too good to spoil for au anec? dote. He ate for some time in silence and with such an evident sense cf enjoyment that I did not venture to question him further, though I noticed a certain preoccupied air about him, as though he were trying to recall some half forgotten incident, or wem, perhaps, trying to put it into lan? guage which would do more credit to his reputation as an expert narrator. By and by, when the coffee came he lit a cigar; which had been sent him by little Jinks, onr vice consul at Havana, and as the first wreaths of perfumed smoke curled round about him, he thus delivered him? self: "The marshal used to have a son." As he spoke the gaunt upright figure of the famous military commander strode by. He turned his haggard face towards us as he did so, but there was no specula? tion in his eyes, and the life that was in him seemed only to carry a heart that was dead. Though every one at the hotel made room for him with a sort of awe stricken respect, he saluted nobody, but passed out into the street like some mourn? ful spectre, not terrible, but unutterably sad. Then we heard the clank of his sword in the ante-room, and once his sword smote against his spurs as he gir? ded it on. Then he was gone. His ap Searance had served but to emphasize apt. Bolton's statement, that "he used to nave a son." The Queen's messenger, who had been interrupted by the solemn apparition above mentioned, threw bach his head, perhaps to get a better view of his subject, took a long pull at his cigar, finished his coffee, began his liquor, and then went on with his story. "Yes, as I was saying, Field Marshal Count Eisenberg had a son who was one of the finest young men in the army. He was in a light cavalry regiment, and all the girls went mad about him. You never saw a fellow better built, or with more downright pluck and go in him. Hang it, sir, he deserved to be an Englishman, and I used to tell him so when I passed through here, and could get a day's shoot? ing with him at Edelshelm?a grand place his governor had then. It is sold now. Never was a more cheery or better companion than Budy Eisenberg. He could ride as well as Lord Cork, and shoot snap shots with any one you like to name. It wasn't all glitter either about him. He had been out in a big war, and done all sorts of fine things. His nerves were said to be wonderfully steady under fire, and he had ridden well to the front in one of the bloodiest hand-to-hand fights on record. Of course he did not rise in rank very quickly, for the Marshal would not hear of his being promoted out of his turn, and there was nothing of the cock? tail about him, so he' did not put himself in the way of special service to shrink his regimental duties; but everybody looked upon him, with good reason, as a man who does not go by favor. Not a chap in the regiment, from the colonel to the piper, had a word to say against him. "Unluckily," mused Captain Bolton, again throwing his head back, perhaps for philosophy's sake this time, "that was just it. People liked* him too much, es? pecially ladies. There was a whisper that an illustrious beauty, not far off from the reigning dynasty, has fretted herself nearly crazy about him; and though even the court officials agreed that he had behaved very well in a mysterious busi? ness that it would not do to talk about, Budy Eisenberg went to parade with a fja.ee as white as a ghost after a masked ball, where it was thought some scandal had taken place. I would advise you never to touch on this part of the story if you mean to make any stay here. One thing only had oozed out, and this was that the love, if there was love, had been mutual; and I have heard that Budy got a little wrong iu the head after it was sill over. The doctors spoke of brain fe? ver, and recommended change of air; so the old marshal, who knew nothing about money, gave his son about enough to keep him for a week, and sent him off to Hamburg for the waters. The devil's own play was going on at that picturesque little hole in those days, and young Eisen berg naturally found himself tumbled headlong into the set who lived where it was hottest. There was Bob Cheyke, of the Life Guards, and Agincourt, who had just come to title; with Ivry de Videsac, the crack Frenchman, who went such a .tremendous smash two years later; and Chrichton and Maulverer, with Jack Nortiman, Birbantaki Pasha, old Lord Chowser, and I do not know how many more of the same lot. I fancy Budy Eiseuberg did not know what to make of them at first. Their ways were not his ways, but he soon fell into them. As mischance would have it. too, he spoke a little English, and that helped, I dare say, for he had got many of the stolid, honest ideas of his countrymen about improving himself, and very likely thought at times that he might some day have to act his part in a Battle of Dorking, so that it might be as well to prepare for the emergencies that would probably arise out of snch a situation, whether he was among the conquered. For a while Cheyke and the rest of them used to al? ways find him in his den on the fifth floor of a cheap hotel, poring over books of tactics ana working out military problems with corks and pins, or one of those won? derfully accurate maps issued by his na? tive war office. But they soon badged him out of that and at last he wa3 forever with them when they were going fastest. He rode a steeple-chase on Agincourt's horse and won it gallantly for him, but he also held the bank against Ivry de Videsac and Lord Chowser for three nights running without going to bed, aud he won nothing, as you may expect, at that game. The Lord knows what bappened next. It was never made quite clear. Some fellows will have it that Nortiman and Bob Cheykc, who had won a whole pot of money lrom him, insisted ou having it at once, and it is certain that a check bearing the Field Marshal's sig? nature, given in payment toCheyke, was refused by the Bilkendrofs, his bankers. But by the first express train afterwards, the old Count came to Homburg himself, stalked iuto Bob's rooms at the best ho? tel, laid down the money on his toilet table and then stalked out ngain without a word. I hardly like to tell on my own responsibility what followed, but Lord Chowser says that he met the Marshal upon the stairs leading to Rudy's room, and that he could not help hearing what passed between them through the half open door of young Eisenberg's apart? ment. It was very brief. The old^^j dier sternly confronted his wm^tgsgcld " 'Ichehabe' then said be,s?flfg0id for bezahlt. I have paul^fjjored us. Now which you bavesjjfcfas he ceased speak do your part^tTthe table between them jnghejjirliad brought with him. jyjHfeyoung man made no answer,but Jme :next moment there was a loud report, and the Marshal came forth from the presence of his dead son, with ashen face you have just seen. He never smiled again. "All the set who were mixed up in the affair naturally tried to put the best face on it. Bob says he had a right to get his money, and so does Nortiman; but Chow? ser though he is a hardish old boy, doesu't like to talk much on the subject, and I be? lieve had to consult the doctor respecting a ghost, or something of that sort, which he fancied was following him about, and .wanted to catch hold of him whenever he was alone." "Ah," I said, yawning, "very odd, isn't it?" I did not know what else to say, and I don't know how only I was glad that the story was over. Bolton and I then passed the rest of the evening in witnessing some capital card tricks, performed by a regular professor of sleight of hand, who was making a great noise on the Continent. As I looked at this amusing artist, also, I thought that if such funny things can be done with cards by men of experience, it may be possibly as well for inexperienced youth to think twice, or even thrice, before sitting down to games of skill where cards are concern DEAD MEN'S BONES FOR LUCK. Voudooism in tho South?Mutilating Corpses and Playing Card* Ovor the Ri? fled Graves to Get a "Charm"?Ghastly Superstitions. On Sunday morning, July 16, about 1.30 o'clock, Sheriff Lacy was called up by armed men, who demanded the keys of the jail. When positively refused, they placed a guard at his door and told him not to come out, as they did not wish to hurt him. They then proceeded to the jail, broke open the doors, and. after hammering the cage awhile, were heard calling: "Come out of there! come out of there V several times. Thea ten or twelve shots were heard, though.! mostly pistols, and the men, though!, to be about thirty in number, marches away. When they were gone Lindsey Portwood, Dudley Brothers and Wesley Richardson were found dead in the cape and the door of the cage broken open. They had been committed teu days ago for violating graves. Coroner W. T. Marler summoned a jury and held an inquest. Dr. William A. Brown examined the bodies in the pres? ence of the jury, and made out a stuie ment, iu writing, of the nature and r um? ber of the wounds, and stated that they all came to their death by shot wounds. Thomas B. Nesmith, solicitor, summoned and examined before the jury every per any testimony could be obtained, but no discovery was made as to who com? mitted the crime. The citizens of Ver non met and prepared good, plain coffins, and dressed the dead in neat suits and gave them decent burial. The colored people refused to aid and seemed to have a superstitious fear of coming near the dead. The crime committed by these unfor? tunate men, and the facts and man aer of its discovery, are about as follows: One day last month a negro named Dock Poe, being sick and thinking he: was about to die, unburthened his conscience to his nurse, au old negro woman named Jude Dobbins, and named the above three as engaged in the crime, and told her that some of the human bones they had been operating with were about the house. Aunt Jude thiuking that Poe would die, and being superstitiously alarmed, communicated her information to a white woman. The white people, finding that several graves had been Jug into, became excited and were threaten? ing summary vengeance. Some prudent citizen obtained a warrant aud succeeded in arresting the three named above fo. violating graves. Poe being sick, they did not disturb him. Tho prisoners when arrested separately confessed the crime, and each told about the same story. Each was taken to the graves separately, and each pointed out the graves they had opened. The prisoners were then taken before a magistrate, who, upon their full confession, com? mitted them to jail. The citizens who had the matter jn hand had great difficulty iu protecting the prisoners till they were lodged in jail, and for several days afterward the Sheriff and citizens of Vernon feared something like what has now happened, but all seemed to have become quiet.? The people afterward opened and exam? ined the graves. One in which a mau had been buried about thirty-five years had been dug out to the bottom and the decayed bones were mixed with the dirt to the top and some of them were found out of the grave. The negroes said they did not take any of them because they were too much decayed. The other was that of Mrs. Tom Poe, who had been buried about two years. The left baud of the corpse had been pulled off at the wrist and was missing; the right arm had been pulled off at the shoulder and was missing, and the corpse was mangled and turned about in the coffin. The lid had been merely laid back and the grave filled. The negroes said they had taken away the hands. They all had bones about their persons, which they said were froms Mrs. Poe's hands. These bones are now in possession of Sheriff Lacy, and are said not to belong to the same human hand. They said they had sold some of them. It is believed that sever? al other graves had been dug into. The grave-yard where most of the digging had been done is at or near Poplar Spring Church, in the Southwest corner of this County, and all the graves molest? ed were the graves of white people. The cause of tin's strange conduct, as related by the negroes themselves is as follows: During November and December last, a negro by the name of Jerry Vaughn, from Mississippi, stayed among them, and sold them rights and receipts for working charms and performing mira? cles. To acquire the "card charm," three or more go to a grave; one knells at the foot ana curse; the balance dig down and get the bones and fill up the grave again, the praying and cursing going on all the while. Then all join in a game of cards on tho grave, and all have acquired the "charm." They put the bones in a poke or string them, and wear them about the body, and as they expressed it, "We have good luck." They lick dust of human bones, and wet the tips of their fingers while they han? dle or play cards, aud have "good luck." They rub the cards against tho bones about their body for "luck." And they swallow the dust for "good luck" in any undertaking. Rumor has it that they said: "If a black man will take a dose of the dust of a white woman's bones, he son from whom can theu charm any white woman aud do as he pleases with her." Wc do not vouch for this, as the prisoners never mentioned this charm to the Sheriff after they were put in jail, but they spoke freely of the others, and said that they did not see that they had any better "luck."? Vernon [Ala.) Clipper. Carrying Concealed Weapons. Iu Priucess Anne county, Va., tvvh citizens had a quarrel last week^^^^ political as to its origin ""^n^Tohliers to its ending. BothJp^pniany fiel(J? and both distiugu^anger and devo. for their cont^^? ouo was u prjvatc ll0n ^xftvays in the front; the other a ^?Jip?ny officer, who signaled bis gal? lantry many times over, aud bore, not a few honorable wounds. These citizens, neighbors and country men, respecting each the other, never dreaming that either needed to prove his courage, and, in fact, friends for years ?these, too, alas! must go armed.? They must argue about a matter that touched neither of them except as a mat? ter of argument. That grow angry. They shoot. They die. Brave as Agamemon, both. Approved citizens, both. Men on whom depend others, both. Men whom neighbors and fellow citizens trusted and loved, both. Men useful to and valued by the com? monwealth, both. Yet these meeting, aud, for the moment angry, kill each other for nothing.? ? Why ? Because they wore pistols. Had they not worn them the worst that could have happened would have been an or? dinary quarrel and an ordinary parting by friends, followed possibly by a duel more or less harmless. What is the moral ? It is the cruel, the horrible, the wick? ed custom of carrying concealed weap? ons. Cowardly, moreover, it is. Cowardly, because it may take at any time an un? armed man unawares. Cowardly, be? cause it argues that he who bears the arms is afraid to protect himself without them. Cowardly, because he knows his own condition and trusts that the other party is not in the same condition. It is brutal, because it gives flow to the angriest passion and allows no time for thought. Wicked, because it contemplates mur? der and prepares in cold blood for man? slaughter as a shield for cowardice. Savage, because it takes no account either of the great power of civilized law or the infinite sanctity of human life. Brave men, we know, have yielded to this horrible habit, but it was because they remembered only the custom of an? cestors and forgot that in the past gener? ations the pistol sometimes and the sword always were displayed, and remembered only that the weapons were displayed, leaving all men on a level, and that the law was weak and life worth little. At this day the man who carries habit? ually concealed weapons must be either a coward or a fool; and this is true par? ticularly of this present people of the South, who have so often proved their mauhood and bold hearts. So utterly is this the fact that wc be? lieve (and in common with our people, we have seen gunpowder burn and balls fly from larger things than pistols,) that every jury trying case3 of homicide should find the killer guilty of murder in the first degree when it is proved that ho habitually carries hidden weapons. Ifhedidnot mean murder he would not carry them?unless indeed he was miserable coward. If you need arms, carry a double-bar barrel gun on your shoulder and let j everybody sec it.?Richmond State. Our Mail Matter.?On August 15, 1879, the Postmaster General issued an order directing an actual count to be made on the first seveu days of Novem? ber, 1879, and annually thereafter, of the number of letters and postal cards and of packages of miscellaneous printed matter and merchandise deposited for mailing in all the postoffices and postal cars, the number of newspapers and pe? riodicals mailed during that time to sub? scribers and news agents to be obtained from the publishers. The consolidation of the entire returns of this count from all postoffices in the United States and from the railway mail service has just been completed at the postofiice depart? ment. The first week in November was chosen for the count because it was thought that the business of that week would be as near as possible a fair ave? rage upon which to estimate the annual work of the postal service. Multiplying the results of the count by fifty-two, the domestic postal business of the last fiscal year was as follows: Letters in plain envelopes.. 467,609,556 In "card or request," do. 365,024,920 In "official penalty," do. 35,359,096 Total letters. 866,593,572 Postal cards. 276,446,716 Newspapers to subscribers and news agents. 695,175,624 Magazines to subscribers aud news agents. 53,472,276 Books, circulars and miscel? laneous printed matter... 300,815,480 Articles of Merchandise. 22,634,456 Grand total.2,215,168,124 This count is of matter originating in this country only; it does not include mail received from foreign countries. More thau fifty per cent, of the entire matter mailed originated in the fifty principal cities of the United States. The Nigger, Again.?Speaking for Northern Eepublicans, that honest, plain npoken Republican paper, the Lemurs (Iowa) Sentinel says: They do not believe in being taxed to aupport free schools for the children of Lazy Loaf-about Darkies.

Ittrausmogrilies him into an Insolent aud Useless Creature?a curse to himself, and a bigger curse to the community in which he lives. Our cities, towns aud villages arc in? fested by innumerable blacks, who have been ruined by "three RV readin' 'ritin' and 'rithmetic.

O, writes : "I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medi? cines, but when a really meritorious article made of valuable remedies known to all, that all physicians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it.
