"You mean, contemplate little Yam
kee! Ill teach you, when you're talk
ing to me, you're talking to gentleman |!
Take that!''
The words were followed by blow-a
flathanded, vigorous blow, on the right
side of Austen Winslow's face
A p 'easant face to look upon was Aus
ten Winslow's. A frank, open face
broad and ruddy; the index of an even
temper and an honest heart 1t was
flushed now; flushed with the tingle of the
blow it had received, and with sudden
CLEAN of anger that shot upward thence
into the eyes, and made them-usually so
calm and soft-look dangerously bright
and threatening.
But the flush next moment passed away,
or rather fed before strong effort made
at self-cOntrol; and the face was pale and
set, as Austen Winslow turned it to the
hand that had already outraged it, aud
said:
"You'd better slap the other side as
we'll, George Catlett."
"What did tell you, boys? Didn't 1
say the white-livered little abolitionist
would try his snivelling Puritan can't with
as. and when 1 struck him on the right
cheek, turn to me the othor also? Do you
want few more laid on good, Mr.. Wins
low ?" cried George Catlett, laughing ex-
ultingly. "Do you know you're saucy
nigger, and ought to be obliged to me for
whipping the devil out of you? There
there! How do you like it-eh?"
Two more blows in rapid succession
were the echoes of George Catlett's
words; while Austen Winslow, with his
hands hanging loosely by his sides, made
no effort to resent or ward them off.
81 reckon he won't meddle with you
again, Catlett,' said Barnewell Raikes.
"Not if he's wise, at any rate "
"Guess he's had about enough to last
him for a month or so," chimed in Rufu:
Owsley.
"He's mongrel and cur, and all yor
Northern fellows are the same!" roare(
Roger Curry. "And with an oath
"any Southerner, boy or man Can whip :
dozen of YOU"
uBlows struck in the heat of passion
are no test of courage or capacity. an
cool now. George Catlett, defend your
self" :,
It was Winslow who spoke-so quietly
that I could scarcely catch his words
though they were uttered within few

HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE.

THE LAST OF RkG1c1DE FAM1LY.-Mr.
William Goff, whose death was reported
in our columns yesterday, was lineal de-
scendant of the famous William "Goffte, {"
one of the Judges who sentenced Charles 1.
to death. The regicide, with Gen. Whal-
10y, arrived at Boston in July, 1860, and
our late fellow-citizen often expressed the
opinion thai he was the last male descend
ant of the noted ancestor whose name he.
bore. The deceased was for many years a.
member and officer of the Winslow
Blues" and as such was on duty on the
Notifications of Boston Harbor in the war,
of 1912. He was an intelligent, active and,
most worthy citizen, and held in high
esteem by all who knew him. For long,

His Residence and Personal Habits.
His sympathy with the United
States.

Rev. NJ. D. Conway sends to the Boston
Commonwealth the following interesting
account of :; visit to the poet Browning
There was no man in England that l
desired to see so much as Robert Brown
ing. Others, l know, set on higher Pc
destal the noble woman so lately taken
from his side; others are more enchanted
by the prince of artists, Tennyson, in
whom all the old minnesingers seem to
have reappeared; but the author of 'Para-
celsus'' hold to be the most powerful,
the author of "Colume's Birthday" the
most tender, the author of 'sPippa Passas"
the most dramatic, of all the poets since
Shakespeare.
Some have found Browning obscure,
and if "Sordello "were the only thing he
had written there would be justification
of it. But in his other works one has on
ly to remember how exceedingly dramatic
Browning is--implying at every step that
his reader sees the picture, the 81 uation,
the movement between his lines find
him remarkable simple writer. 1.-The
obvious" says Archbishop Hare, els fire.
quently lost sight of in our search for the
profound" This is a good hint to those
who undertake to read these poems. I
remember seeing, ten years ago, eco
lombe's Birthday "performed at the How
ard Atheneum in Boston. 1t was brought
out by Miss Davenport at her benefit. The
theatre was crowded by an audience who
came because she was favorte, and
clearly knew nothing of the play. Miss
Davenport had most carefully studied, not
only her own part of Colombo, but every
part, and the performance was finely sus-
tanned throughout And when 1 saw that
audience spell bound saw the tears roll
ing down the cheeks of many who had
never heard of the play or its author be-
fore, I thought to myself that for minds
able to get up in themselves scenery and
footlights Browning always writes. He
does not write for those who perpetually
cry to their author, Give Us of your
imagination, for ours has gone OUT" but
for those who have that sacret oil for an
alliance with his torch.
BROwNING's HoUsR.
Entering handsome but unostenta-
tious residence on Warwick Crescent, in
the environs of London, 1 was shown into
a very pleasant room. Over the MANTLE
piece was large and very old Italian pic
ture, such as might have been taken from
some old church altar, which seemed to be
a representation of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost. A quaint piece of ancient
tapestry adorned one side of the room, and
a picture of Christ from one of the old
masters was on another wall. / could NOT
help noticing upon the table, cards of in
vitation from the Russells, Palmerstons.
and many others Of the nobility, indica-
ting that there has been change with the
British aristocracy in regard to the lite

not sufficient to assure the highest social

know what warmth was more -upturned,
and rigid, as we gazed, in Death!
We brought the forage train, with sew
eral prisoners; also the wounded and the
body of George Catlett, upon whose
shoulders were the insignia of a major,
back to the camp. The body was claim
ed that evening, under flag of truce, and
was delivered to his friends.
And so ended the West Point quarrel,
which Barnewell Raikes had fostered into
lifelong hate.
Raikes is now clerk in the war depart
ment at Richmond. Cdfry is on the staff
of the rebel general, Van Dorm. Owsley

cowardice at the battle Of Williamsburg,

raised a. regiment of volunteers in New
York on the breaking out of the war, and
is brigadier of six months standing.
Austen WinslOw's wounds were danger
GUS, but not fatal. He was sent home,
and, under the healing influence of kindly
nursing, soon began to mend. But then
his nurse was Lucy Golding.
My own wounds proved serious, and
had to be invalided.
Sitting outside the hospital tent, this
pleasant winter afternoon, take up a
New York paper, and there 1 read, under

ON COLONEL GRIERSON,S LATE
BRILLIANT CAVALRY RAID
THROUGH MISSISSIPPI.

Vritten for the Pioneer
Mount to horse, mount to horse!
Forward, battalion!
Gallops the gallant force.
Down with rebellion!
Over hill, creek and plain,
Chatter the fearless
Dash away, splash away
Led by the Peerless.
Hark to the rife-crack.
Wild confagration
Marks where the brave bear
The flag of the nation.
Down on the rebel hordes,
Gaping with wonder,
Dash they with cleaning swords,
And war-crics of thunder.
Rebels fly, traitors fly,
Hither and thither;
Under the death-fre
They falter and wither.
Burn the bridge, tear the track,
Down with rebellion;
Cut the wires, cut the wires;
Forward battalion!
Night and day, night and day,
Gallop the fearless
Swimming the rivers flood
Led by the Peerless.
Depots and powder trains,
Blazing and laundering;
Traitors and dusky slaves
Gazing and wondering.
Eight hundred miles they ride
Noble battalion.
Down through the traitor-land-
Heart of rebellion.
Sleep on the gallop, they,
Bold cavaliers
Wake at the flash, when
The foeman appears.
Sixteen days, sixteen days,
Riding and warning.
Into our lines they ride
The gallant and daringl
Smoking behind them,
The land of rebellion,
Cheering they greet our flag,
Dauntless battalion!
