DRIVING HOME THE COWS.

Out Of the clover aud blue-eyed grass
He turned them iGto the river lane;
One after another he let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill
He patiently followed their sober pace; d
The merry whistle for once was still,
Ard something shadowed the sunny face.
Only boy ! and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go;
Two already were lying dead
Under the feet of the trampling foe.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meadow
swamp,
And stealthily followed the foot-path
damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat,
With resolute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew. ou his hurryine
| feet,
And the blind bats flying startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white
And the orchards sweet with apple bloom
And now when the cows came back at nigh
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the Lonely farm
That three were lying where two had lain
And the old mans iremulous, palsied arm
Could never lean On a sons again.
The summer day grew cold and late /;
| He went for the cows when the work wa
| done, -.,f .i-s
But down the lane, as he Opeued the gate,
He saw them coming, one by one:
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle and Bess,
Shaking their horns in the evening wind
Cropping the butter-cups out of the grass
j But who was it followed close behiDdf
Loosely swupg in the idle air
The empty sleeve of army blue,
And worn and pale, from the crisping hair
Looked out face that the father knew.
| For Southern prisons will sometimes yawn
And yield their dead unto life again,
And the day that comes with cloudy dawi
In golden glory at last may wane.
The great tears spring 10 their melting eyes
For the Leart must speak when the lip
are dumb,
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.

Under the circumstances il cannot be
denied but that they acted the part OF
prudence. During the confusion the
two squaws captured at Sandusky bad
effected their escape,
In those troublous times many OF the
borderers had imbibed the savage in
stinets and practices Of tho Indians.
Many hunter could "raise the hair "
of a fallen enemy as dexterously and
exultingly as ever did Thsyendenaga or
Red Jacket. Their manner Of attack
and procedure when on the war-path
was identical with that of the red man,
and ignoring the color that distinguish
ed the two, it was difficult matter to
decide upon the respective claims Of
each to taste and civilization.
Brady had a great curiosity TO see
the Indian whom he had shot, and the
commandant at Fort MIntosh gave him
several men with which TO return and
examine the body. With these he
made his way back to the place where
he had fallen, but discovered no traces
of his body. They searched long and
carefully, but were about to give it up
as hopeless. when the yell Of an Indian
that they had brought with them an
nounced success.
fastening to the place, they found 8
newly-made grave, but SO artfully con
cealed that the wonder was how any
human eye could have detected it The
sod had been replaced SO perfectly that
no break or join could be preceiyed
Bushes, too, had been stuck in the
ground directly over the body, and il
was these that betrayed the secret. Ii
the short time which elapsed since they
were placed there they had slightly
withered, and revealed the truth to the
lynx-eyed Indian.
Two feet down the warrior wasfound
with his dress, implements. and weap.
ons buried with him. His rude jewel
ry, weapons, ammunition and scalp
were taken from him; he was then lef
alone in the grave. The party then re.
turned to the fort. Captain Brady and
his men remained at Fort MIntosh un.
til they were thoroughly refreshed,
when they set out for Pittsburg by
water. Here they we're received with
military houors, minute guns being fired
from the moment they came in sight
until they landed.
Brady had gained precisely the infor'
nation that was needed, and had con.
ferred an important service to the
frontier. His subsequent career was
in keeping with the daring exploits
which we have recorded, and stamped
him unquestionsbly as one of the most
useful and intrepid men of whom
mention is made in the history Of the
settlement Of the West.

Another Failure.

The Grant Colfax party in Albany had
what was called a ratification meeting on
Friday night. Like every one of the
kind that has been attempted BY the Rad
icals throughout the country, it was q
failure. The Albany Argus says:
Great efforts we're made by the Radical
leaders yesterday to drum up crowd for a
Grant ratification meeting at Tweddle
Hall. Cannon and music were profusely
resorted to in order to attract public at
tention. A band of music vas stationed
at the foot of Tweddle Hall stairs for an
hour before the meeting organized. and
Office holders were button -holing peo-
pie to attend, A procession from the
Second and Third Wards, Numbering
about fifty persons, appeared with one
or two transparencies.e This was the up
sho: Of the public demonstration
As the opening of a Presidential cam
paigu, the meeting was a failure. The
same apathy and lack of spirit was visi-
ible that characterized the Radical cam
vass last year. The negro is the figure
head of the new campaign, and Grant
goes into the canvass witL the deaG.
carcass lashed upon his back. There is
no confidence, no spirit, no enthusiasm.
The Argus states that the Journal, in
order to make show of officers, printed
the names of persons who had moi, lived
in the city for years.

= COLUMBUS, May 20, 1000.
The FIVE Radical partisan Judge of the
Supreme Court of the State of Ohio had
an adjourned session of that Court yes
terday and to-day.
In pursuance Of caucus arrangement
it was concluded by the Republican mem.
bers of the Legislatu re and other black
and tan politicians before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature to give an opin-
ion as to the eonstitutionality Of the Wis
ibles admixture law, which passed at the
late session of the General Assembly
The Xenia case-got up for the occasion
has served the purpose. es
A motion was madeto flea petition in
error in the case as it had already been
rushed through the Common Pleas and
District Courts in accordance with the
Radical programme.
Upon this action the whole case was
gone into by the counsel, and the even
ing chief Justice Day announced that
leave to file the petition in error was de-
MED because the law contained resolu.
tions not warranted by the Cons titution.
The reasons for this decision are to be
prepared hereafter and published. So
as the Chief Justice stands, we shall
then see what it amounts to.

CoIfax,s Letter.

Mr.. Colfax, in his letter Of acceptance,
says: "If there had been no Republican
party, slavery would to-day cast its bale.
full shadow over the Republic. IF there
had been no Republican party, free press
and free speech would be unknown from
the Potomac. to the Rio .Grande, as ten
years ago."
The above is cool specimen of ef.
frontery. Ten years ago, free speech
and free press did exist between the
Potomac and the Rio Grande. Now it
does not. Mr.. Colfax and his party have
destroyed it. Ten years ago, and the
people between the points designated by
Mr.. Colfax governed Themselves. Now
they are governed by carpet-baggers'
from the North and by negroes, about as
fitted to govern them as the posts and
fences in the 6eld.--Enquarer.
