WiKard. liere rest tie remains of the diatin-.. guislicd man. his pentlo-Learte 1 wife, and his high toned, ehivilrous brother, who died in the hrst ti ash of manhood, but not before the brilliancy of his genius had been developed. . The first wild violets ot Spring were just struggling through the little patches of ivy scattered here and there over the " long home " of the eminent dead, and thoy looked up strangely at us, we thouaht, as their Hue eyes filled with rain tears, their flexile fctems bending to the earth, and Winter's decay and desolation around them. The biting frosts of the previous bitter nights had touched these tender messengers of the Spring, th.e daring,ambitious heralds ot the brighter days to come; and they looked to us a3 though mourning their haste to break through into the blessed sunlight. Ah, ambitious violets, thought we, pushing yourselves into tne lead, and like unto the brilliant trio above whom you bloom, encountering the bitter cold, overtaxing your strength, and just as the brightest petals begin to open, succumbing to the touch of death. On each corner of the lot where rest the gifted Willard, and bis wife and brother, ia a large evergreen, but aside from these, and a few bunches of "live forever," wild violets and ivy, there is nothing to distinguish the frave of the illustrious dead. At the ead of the Governor's grave is the fragment of a wooden "head board," probably eight inches long, and merely stuck into the ground. The graves have the appearance of neglect, and we confess that as we looked upon them, and remembered the many excellencies in life of the sleepers beneath their scanty hillocks, we feit a degree of pain utterly inexpressible. The fame of the late Governor Willard belongs to Indiana, and Indiana ehould perpetuate it in a marble monument over hia remains reared by the generous sympathies of the people in token of their appreciation of the man. And by the side of the gentle and amiable wile, who was so noble and good in life, let him sleep on under this monument of the people's love for him while living, until the angel's call ia made for 1 1 is mortal to put on immortality. Such a monument would honor the people of Indiana and commemorate the name of one of her most distinguished orators and statesmen. And to its erection no one, certainly, should interpose objection. At all events the present neglected condition of the graves is painful to the friends of the late distinguished Governor and his excellent wife; and something should be done at least to prevent them falling into utter obBCurity.

The followiatr Card of Mr. Hannaman, General Military Agent of the State, will be of interest to all soldiers : To the Editor of 1 lie Journal : Sir: It may be a matter of interest to our soldiers, to know how soon their bounty claims will be paid. The following facts were obtained (rem the Paymaster General's Department, while on a recent visit to Washington, and may De relied oa as correct. Amount of claims filed up to April 1, 1SG8, 4-10,300. Number pii i or rejected, 240,0(0, leaving about 200,000 yet to be pa.-sed upon. There was paid during March last, 27.000. At feast 25,000 per month will be paid until all are disposed of. , From the above, soldiers will see that it will bo but a short time until all are paid. Wji. IIannaman. Editors will please copy the above, and much oblige the sjidier, The f ollori3g circular irom General Brice, Paymaster General, is also of interest in this connection. Soldiers will see that they cannot be defrauded after claims are paid to their agent or attorneys, if they themselves exercise proper precautions: Paymaster Oknfral's Office, ) "Washington, 1). V., March Z. Jfkte. J It is entirely impracticable for this office to reply'to the immense number of inquiries from claimants, or their friends, and attorneys, as to the condition or cause of delay in the adjustment of their bounty claims, without serious interruption to the public business, especially in t!ie very matter of settling these particular claims. This printed circular is the only response that can be civen. All the bounty claims now on file are being settle 1 as tust as the Second Auditor of the Treasury can furnish, from the muster-rolls imw deposited in his office, the evidt-r.ee necessary to determiae the val'dity of each claim. This information has been applied for, and the Auciitor is now furnishing responses to our inquiries at the rate of about twenty thousand per month. .At this rate it is expected that the whole number of claims filed, or likely to be filed, will be acted on and finally settled ia the next nine months. When a claim is allowed, the check is drawn to the order of the claimant and sent with his discharge to his attorney, or to himself where no attorney has been appointed, and is payable only upon indorsement by claimant, unless the latteryshall, by a power of attorney, executed subsequent to the date of the check, authorize his attorney to act for him. If any check id paid on improper indorsement, the

"What is it, and why should wa take any interest in it? It is the latest pbae of Americanism in Europe; it is the incipient &tage of the finl struggle bvteen Moslem domination and the religion of our Lord. It is a subject, there fore, eminently proper for our sympathetic consideration on thifEater week. - i Crete, in itself, has no special attractions for the American student. It has an old chequered history, to be sure, but neither more ancient nor more varied than that of every other foot of land in Eastern Europe. It is only as a battle-field between the Asiatic and the American political systems, between the Mohammedan and the Christian faiths, between brutal conservatism and enlightened progress, between immemorial barbarism and modern civilization, that it claims our sympathy and our assistance. For nearly two years the Greeks of this little island off the Morea have gallantly contended against the forces of the Turkish Empire, led by the ablest of the Moslem generals. Army after army has been sent against them; their lertiie plains have been laid waste; their villages have been given to the torch, and their olive trees cut down; but with a valor and persistency that would have done honor to their ancestors in the palmiest days of old Greece, they have kept up the fight, never yieldiug, never offering to compromise, but disdainfully rejecting every proposition of peace that has been tendered by the Turks. They know too well that the Mohammedan regards his plighted wqrd as valueless wheu it is given to the infidels. They remember Scio, which iu the long, long struggle between the Greeks and the Turks bears the sama relation to them that Fort Pillow does to our civil war. Soio, in 1821, was a prosperous and fertile island, with a population of one and fifty thousand. A battalion of Greeks landed and captured the Turkish fortresses, upon which the Moslem authorities let loose an army of twenty thousand men, who put to the sword one hundred and nine thousand souls, sold forty thousand women and children into slavery and lor horrible uses, and left only nine hundred persons alive on the island! This gigantic crime has been iepeaed in detail wherever Greeks and Turks have fought and they have (ought wherever the Mohammedans have exercised domina tion over the Christiau populations of the old classic land on the isles ol Greece. It is idle to talk of compromise between foes so irreconcilable. The religion of the Turk makes it impossible for him to regard a Christian as a being entitled to any rights whatever. It teaches him that he is an outlaw, whom it is neither criminal to kill nor expedient to endow with civil rights. The Christian, in the eyes of the Turk, is only tolerated as a beast of burden is tolerated because he can be taxed to support the Moslem power; but with no higher rights. Turks in independent Greece have all the rights of native citizens; they are neither molested in their property nor per-ons; but under Turkish domiuatiou the case is entirely reversed. The genius of the two faiths is strikingly exhibited in thee facts. Diplomacy alone h-i3 kept Crete under the power of Turkey. The Cretans won their independence as bravely as the Greeks whose independence was recognized in 1820. But they were mercilessly handed over to Egypt by the great powers for purely political reason?; and ever since, as before, they, have been subjected to the most intolerable oppressions. Again they have appealed to arms, and are likely now to gain their independence. We are not asked to help the tihtini men they are confident of their abiii y to achieve their creat object; we are asked only to feed the fami?hin? women and child ren who have fled in terror of Turkish outraire from Crete to the miin land, and are now depeudent ou the charity of . Christendom. Their .ad plea has a aouoie c;aiui on enaj Christian American; lor both as needy and helpless poor, and a the families of the soldiers of the Cros against the Crescent, they have a right to expect that we shall hear aud aid them. Bostou never yet has heard such a plea with indifference, and it is not likely to do so iu Faster week. Boston Journal.

AYER'S HAIR VIGOR, For the Renovation of the Hair. The GREAT DESIDERATUM of the Aze. A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color, and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hail checkod, and baldness often, though not always, cured by it3 use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can. be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and conse quently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations daneerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigoi car; only benefit but not harm it. Ii wanted merely for a nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PKKPAEEU BY DR. J. C.
