the shaft, while on the third is to
be seen the name of a son. The
house is at the southern end of the
village, near the creek, a frame
building, which has been entirely
remodeled ol late years. His other
residence, two miles sontb of the
town, is the properly of farmers,

UABBISON.
The resting place of William
Henry liarrisou was brought promi-uently
before the country three
years ago by the desecration ol his
sob's grave. It is situated at Noith
Bend, Ind., a few yards Irom the
track oi the I. O. L. R. It., where
it enters the tunnel. The grave is
a simple mound unfeuced, on a lit-tle
knoll, and is shaded by beeches
am! oilier trees. There is no monu-ment
aud no inscription anywhere
to tell the story of the life of the
departed hero. Siuce the desecra-tion
of ocott Harrison's grave the
mound has been improved some-what.
The vault has been cemented
on the top in imitation of stone
slabs. The iron door on (he left is
now securely' fasteucd and some
iii ul is made to keep the place in
good order. The spot is a lovely
one, and could be made by proper
improvement lo do honor to the re-mains
of the hero of Tippecanoe.
TVLKE.
The grave of John Tyler is prac-tically
unmarked. A little mound,
covered with bushes, fast ten yards
from the grave of Monroe, in Holly-wood
Cemetery, Richmond, is
pointed out as the spot where a
President's remains lie. At its
bead is a small magnolia tree, on the
south is another magnolia, and on
ibe north a yonng juniper tree.—
1 he grave is neither inclosed nor
TAYLOtt.
The remains of Zschary Taylor
have been moved three limes.
They repose now in a public spot
at Frauktort, Ky. The body was
tiiBt placed in a cemetery at Wash-ington,
th?n iu a lot on the Taylor
homestead, five miles back of L mis
ville, and then taken to Cave Hill
Cemetery, Louisville. In 1878 the
remains were placed in the besuti-ful
cemetery at Prankfoit, where
they are iu the company of many
illustrious dead, including Vice
President Richard Men lor Johnson.
FJXLXOBE.
Millard Fillmore lies buried at
Forest Lawn Cemetery, three miles
from Buffalo. The grave is well
taken care of, and is a beautiful
spot. A tall monument contains
the inscription, " Milliard Fillmore,
Born Jan. 7, 1800. Died March 8,
1871" The grave is at the eastern
extremity of the lot in the centre of
a grassy space. At its head rises
the monument. In the sou then.-1-
eru corner is a Norway spruce,
which shadows the grave. Ful-mort's
daughter sleeps near the re-mains
of her lather. Au iron urn
for flowers lies under au evergreeu.
Sear Fillmore's grave are those ol
Biiuker-bill heroes, of Stephen
Champlin and Bidwoll, who fell at
Cedar Creek.

Hi« tairh iu 'he people never waver-ed.
The monument is of marble
upon a base of granite nine and a
nail by seven feet. The tomb was
erected by the President's three
surviviugsons. Pilasters on either
side of the plinth support, funeral
oriis. The scroll of the Constitu-tion
is carved on the die, and also
au open Bible, upou which rests a
hand. The shaft is festooned by
the Amencau flag at the top and
surmounted by au eagle with out
stretched wiDgs.
Is This Yocr Wife?
It is related of Franklin that from
the window of his office in Philadel-phn
no noticed a mechanic, among
a Dumber ol others at work on a
house which was being erected
close by, who always appeared to
be iu a merry humor, and who had
a kind cheerful smile tor every one
he met. Let the day ba ever so
cold, gloomy or sunless, the happy
smile danced like a sunbeam on his
cheertul countenance. Meeeting him
oue duyFraukliu requested tokuow
the secret of bis constant happy
flow ot spirits.
'•It's no secret, doctor," the mau
replied. "I've got one of the best
of wives, and when I go to work
■he always gives mea kind word of
cucouragemeut and a blessiDg with
her parting kiss; and when I go
home she is sure to meet me with
a smile and a kiss of welcome; and
then tea is sure lo be ready; and as
we chat in the eveuiug. I find she
has been doing so many little thiugs
through the day to please me, that
I cannot fiud it in my heart to speak
au unkind word or give au uukiud
look lo auydody."
And Franklin adds:
"What an influence, then hath
woman over the heart of man, to
soften it, and make it the fouutaiu
Of cheerful and happy etuotious.
Speak gently, theu. A happy
smile and a kind word of grectiug
alter the toils of the day are over
cost nothing, ami go *far toward
making home happy and peaceful!"

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA RAIL
ROAD COMPANY, PRESIDENT'S OF-
1 ICE, ItALEIOll. N. C, Oct. 3J,
I6SI. Senator \ auco has so com-pietelj
changed his base in the last
paper, that but little is required al
ifi*'ifhMn* Ti"' tMn itself. Heretofore he h*as'I'b^eaenksfaosr
sailing me; now he is defending
uimself, and U appealing to the
people to vindicate his c. ,arse as
commissioner. It is the Senator's
owu fault that, beginning as an
Mf ant, he liuds himself on the
defensive. It was he, uot I, who
•Jegau the light. And now a few
words in parting:
WHO SELECTED SENATOR VANCE AS
COMMISSIONER?
As to the Senator's appointment
as commissioner, tu.-factsare these:
Messrs. George Davis aud Thomas
Kallm, acting tor the State, named
(woof the commissioners—Mssere.
Jar. is and Worth, and these called
upon Mr. Best to name the third;
whereupon, in behulf ot himsell
and associates, he named Senator
The three names were put
IU the bill. The formal appoint
meat came from the Legislature,
but the actual selection was made
by Mr. Beet. These are the facts,
it II in. George Davis and Judge
Kultii, are to be believed.
When the tender of conviei- was
made, Mr.Beal still had an option
to repurchase the road, ami ,,1
course as long as thai option exis-ted
the assignees did not wish t,,
assume larger liabilities than were
necessary. After they became the
absolute owners', the conditon swere
changed, and a demand was made
for the muni erofconvicts to which
the road was entitled. But, as the
Senator well knows, the assignees
and their representatives were ap
pealed to not to take the convicts
l«»ii the Cape Pear and Yadtciu
v"i .' Railroad, upon which they
wen iinn ai work, for ihe reason
that the interests of both the State
and the Democratic part) would be
injured by such removal. Yielding
to this appeal, the demand was
uoi persisted in.
THE "LITIGATION."
A persistent attempt his been
ma ie to create au impn ■ ion th ,i
Hi. Best is in serious litigation in
nits with the assignees to
Rain possession of ihe Western
North Carolina Railroad. The only
litigation of which I have any
kuowledge is an action brought by
Mr. Best to obtain an injunction
against the directors oi the West
eta North Carolina Ka'iroad Com
pany aud the assignees to prevent
the lection ■■fa Presides 1 by them.
Thai injunction was 1. fused by
Jn Ige Sej moor, and as far as I
ha been informed, DOI even ,.
complaint h is been fi -! ia the
action.
THE MONOPOLY BUG ;:::ii(.
The Senator is incensi I at the
Richmond and Danviiie Railroad
' pauy, Btyling it a huge, giind-ing
monopoly which has, be says,
red iced the people to a grievous
commercialservitude. Isball leave
it to those who control 'that com-pany
to make snch defense aa thej
think proper, without rem.uk. save
loask, ii this really be the Sena-torsa
opinion of it, why be did uoi
sound his note of alarm sooner f
Why did he not insist upon the ic
sort ion of a provision in the act
authorizing the sale of the Western
North Carolina Railroad forbidding
any assignment to the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Companyf
At.,1 above all, why did be aid and
