LEE AT THE WILDERNESS,

[These splendid lines we take from the collected
poems of Miss Mollie f. Moore, of Texas. They
are one of the few poems inspired by the late war
that indicate true genius-reminding, the reader,
by certain energy of versifcaton and fierce ten
derness of Tennysons Charge of the Light Brig

His great bosom shook with awful doubt,
Confusion in front, and a pause in the cries;
And a darkness like night that passed over the

As the blue clad lines swept fsarfully near,
There was waverng yonder, and break in the
cheer
OF our columns unsteady; but. We are here
We are ready with rife and blade
Cried the Texas Brigade
To General LEE.
He smiled-it meant death, that wonde rful smile

And we stormed to the front with long, loud cry
We had long ago learned how to charge and to die.
There faith in the eye
OF Genera. LEE.
But sudden pause came rs dashed on the foe
Aud our seething columns swayed to and fro;
Cold grew our blood, glowing like wine,
And quick, sharp whisper shot over our line,
As sur ranks opened wide and there, by side
Rode General LEE.
How grandly he rode with his eyes on fire.
As his great bosom shook with an awful desire

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.

There is a blithesome maiden
That lives next door to me;
Her eyes are black as midnight,
And handsome as can be;
Her cheeks are full of dimples.
And red as any rose
And then this love Of mine, too,
Has got Roman nose!
asked ter if she d have me,
Chat was the other night,l
And this was her reply, friends
why, Jimmy, you are tight!'
Says l." know have, love,
Aboard a little wine
But that is not the question:
Will you or not be mine ?''
And then she put her face, friends,
As near mine as she could,
And with the sweetest smile, friends,
Said simply that she would
Escort me to the door, if
Was ready to depart;
And thus it was the girl next door
Declined my hand and heart.

Bt1Lr1NG ON THE SAND.

;Tis well to WOO, it's good TO wed,
For so the world hath doue
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew.
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, We young and fair,
Be sure ye pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For if ye give not heart for heart,
As well AZ hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the "unwise' part
And " built upon the sand"
'Tis well to save. it's well to have
A goody store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff
For charity is sold,
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the dee p mine brings,
We lot live on yellow dust,
Upmixed with pursr things, :.
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to staud
Beside his Golfer chest. and own
'Tis " built upon the sand.''
It's good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not ct the gentle words.
Let deeds with language dwell,
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"

sNGULAR ACCIDENT.


AlNIIIsstOne Makes Sad Havoc
BeehIves Overturned and Chill
dren Stung TO Death by the
Bees.
LOUISVILLE, July 26.-A letter from
Princeton speaks Of a fearful accident
which occurred on the Goth. A man
named Boots Crow was hauling upon
his wagon two immense millstones,
one of which weighed 2, $50 pounds.
While passing along the side of a
high hill, the heaviest stone rolled
from the wagon and speed down the
.declivity with fearful velocity, crush>
ing small trees and shrubbery in its
course. The house of farmer nam
ed Darnell was situated at the foot
Of the hill. The mill stone went
crushing through a fence and into
the yard of the farmers house, where
were a number of bee hives. In the
yard were playing bevy of children.
The bee hives were upset; the bees
in their confusion lighted upon the
children, stinging every one of them
ia trightful manner. The progress
OF the great stone was not impeded
in the least by its collision with the
hives, and went bounding into a
stock pasture beyond the house. It
dashed through herd of calves and
horses killing two of the former and
one Of the latter almost Instantly.
The children in the yard had been
completely covered with the bees, and
each one was stung by them until
their persons were covered with
white swelifngs. On of them died
a short time after the terrible occur
renee, and two others are entirely
speeehless and blind, They can
hardly recover. z

MADRID, July 25.-At last the
Carlist outburst, so long expected,
has occurred. Five hundred well
drilled troops, under the command
of General Sabarigos, have taken the
field near Cindad Real, where they
were defeated and dispersed by the
national troops commanded by Gen
eral Tornabeti. The battle took
place in the morning, and it is re-
ported that the Carlist party lost if
teen killed and number Of others
who were wounded, Only three
officers are reported killed on the
side of the Government troops. Near
Manzaries a strong party OF the Carl
Ists also made demonstration, and
s. subsequently succeeded in intercept
ihg the railroad trains and cutting
telegraph wires. The latest accounts
state that four thousand Carlists had
arrived in the province of La Mancha
and that the government troops have
been dispatched to thescene of action.
The whole country, and the people
are much excited over the late news.
No further hOsCilitieS have as yet
been reported, although 1t is feared
that general rising may be expect

Carlos has crossed the frontier, and

garrison. Several were killed and
wounded on both sides. Arrests of

seriously shocked at the same time. They
were milking the cows under the oVershoot
Of the bank barn during the storm on Fri

the barn and found his wife and daughter
lying so near each other that their knees
touched-the wife dead and daughter in
sensible. The COW that Mrs. Dage had
MIXED was but little stunned, and the one
that the daughter had MIXED was lying

could be discovered on the bodies of the
dead, but not far off the corner of the hog
pen was considerably damaged by the
lightning's stroke. - i. ..
Three colts-one two years old, and two
yearlings-belonging TO Charles P. Snyder
of Western Star, are supposed to have

The above appeared In the Journal
a few days previous to the meeting

After the nominations were made,
the Journal, fearing that the tide of
public opinion was against thrt same

''Hon. J. ID. Cox, Secretary of the
Interior, writes to the Republican
Executive Committee of this State,

to labor in the coming canvass in
Ohio" 50.
No man made his mark, broader
or deeper against negro suffrage, than
did this same Hon. j. d. Cox, Secre-
tary of the Interior in his famous
Oberlin letter. Is not this "slink-

is it? 4
Surely, in the face of his able letter
against the right of the negro race to

will be rightfully thrown in his face

We can relieve their minds entirely
on the subject by answering that he
will. And we feel entirely author
lied to say this much, without haV-
