Frankie gone Sweet little flower
Far too trail for eartlrs rude stOrinsi
Withered In helpless hOar,
Gone till resurrection morn.
Could not e'en Mothers love,
Shield thee from that Icy fold
Nor Fathers earnest prayer,
Avert that stroke so sterne and cold2
Gone the little life so pure,
Upward fed to realms Of light.
But how shall we our loss endurcf
o help us Father in thy slght
While low beneath thy Christening rod.
In deep humility we kneel,
To know Thee as our Father-GOd.
And all Thy tender mercies feel.
Stricken parents mumur net;
God in wisdom called him home;
Took his sinless feet from earth,
Through His paradise to roam.

THE CHIN OF CRIMES.
Additional Evidence OF the Guilt of
Conklin in the Bowlsby Horror.

1t would now seem that very little doubt
was left as to the Identity OF the person who
was so intimately associated with poor Alice
Bowlsby previous to her death. By many oi
the friends OF young Conklin, 1t was stated
that the cause OF his suicide was the receipt oil
certain news from Russia, which would be
brought out in the translation of the letters he
that day received from that place; but this
plea must have failed, for the letter has never
been made public. Further investigation,
principally of q private character, has brought
to light several important circumstances con-
nected with various visits to New York made
by Conklin. b. these it is shown that on the
Sunday previous 10 Alice BoWlsby's departure
from Newark, Conkin called at her aunt's
house. and after long conversation, left for
New York on business, which Alice said was
ola very Important nature. The next day
(Mondayl she received letter from him,
which probably contained money, and instruc.
tions in reference to DR.. Rosenzweig. Other
evidences OF less positive nature have been
brought to light, all having the same general
bearing.

PITCHING INTO GRANT.
Sharp and Decisive Talk from Horace
Greeley.

Mr. Greeley was recently In the West at
tending agricultural conventions, but he nev-
ertheless did not leave his politics at home.
IN Jassing through Chicago he was met By
Mr. wentworth and Mr.. Grinnel, formerly
n. u.c-.ver OF Congress from Iowa. In reply to
some personal suggestions from the latter, he
is reported to have said:
five nominate Grant we shall certainly be
defeated. The public will stand no more horse
Jockey and present-taking Presidents; we have
had enough of them. tell you, gentlemen,
We must take new departure, and'I can as
sure you that we of the East are determined
that It shall be done. / have been rather quiet
about it so far, but I want everybody now to
understand what l think. When We take
hold OF Grant 1t will not be with silk gloves on
our hands. 1t has got to be done. We must
throw Grant overheard, or we Shall be de-
feated.
All want is 10 have good man nominated,
who, II elected. will consent to give up the Of
fee at the end of his term. Besides, | want to
nominate man who, If elected, will elevate
the Office to where it was In former days-a

own aspirations for second term, and In the
meantime neglect the interests of those whose
ruler he is. Besides, l want man who is
above mere pleasure-hunling; man who will
not dawdle away one-fourth of his term amid
the foles and frivolities OF a watering-place,
and one who when called upon Tor an express
sion OF his views on political and other sub.
jects of national interest, can give them in
clear, comprehensive language. That's the
kind OF man the people want, and (brinSing
his fist down on the table) that's the kind OF a
man we haven't now. want you, gentlemen,
to tell your people here in the West that we
are going to tight against Grant to the extent
of our ability. We will not remain passive or
Indifferent. but, to use his own words, 1--WE

CRIME IN THE STATE.
A Desperate Kntfe Duel in chesterfiel

~
The Lancaster Ledger prints the particulars
of desperate rencontre, which took place
near Zoah campground IN Chesterfield Coun.
ty, on Saturday night last between Mr.. Ran

a citizen of Lancaster, and the latter living
Just over the State line In Union County, n. c.
1t appears that difficulty had sprung up be-
tween the parties that evening, while riding
along the road on their way to attend preach,
down, and, as 1t was thought, satisfactorily
settled. Upon returning home Plyler's horse
happened to kick Arant or the LEG, which caused
Arant to make some idle threats against the
horse. From this quarrel sprung up and both
of them sprang from their horses. drew their
knives aud went for each other about the
same time. Two gentlemen who were in COM
pany with them endeavored to keep them
apart, but both the ccnbatants being. stout
men and resolute In purpose. they rushed at
each other as madmen bereft of reason and
insenslble to danger. The contest continued
until AranL's knife (whose hand was wet with
the blood of his antagonist.) slipped from his

ties arriving at the scene about this time the
combatants were separated. Both Pllyer and
Araut had been drinking cider and were lit

Arant in five different places. It's thought
both Of them will recover.
Another Stabbtny ARRAY.
The Union Times states that difficulty oc-
Cured on the night of the 3lst ult., at Cross
Keys. between Joseph Smith and Wesley
Bobo in which the latter was go severely
s:aoDed that he now lies in a very precarious
condition. 1t appears that party of young
men were out serenatiing, when part Of one
of the musical instruments was dropped. In
hunting for 1t Smith and Bobo came In con-
tact and one of them was pushed down. A
slight difficulty had occurred between them
some time before, and this collision renewed
the ill-feeling. scuf1e ensued, when Smith
plunged his knite deep into Mr.. Bobo's side,
reaching the liver. II is hoped, however, the
wound will not prove to be mortal. Smith
Immediately made his escape. A warrant has
been issued for his arrest. Both were young
men-one aged nineteen, and the other twen-
ty.one.
