THE LAST SURVIVOR OF THE BAT
TLE OF ERIE.
From the Cincinnati Times, March o.


A few years since the city of Cleveland
dedicated a handsome monument to the
memory of Commodore Perry and the
heroes of the battle of Lake Erie. At
that time there was small band of those
heroes gathered together to witness the
the imposing ceremonies of the occasion
less than twenty of them-and since
that time, one by one, they have been
called away, until this morning DR.. w.
T. Tallaferro, of this city, the only one
of that gallant company known to remain
met his last enemy, and succomed to the
fate of ALL
DR.. Tallaferro was born at Newington,
Orange county, Va, January 16, 1795.
His father soon after moved to Kentucky.
In the war of 1912, young Tallaferro,
then only II years of age, volunteered in
the army then fighting against England.
The regiment to which he belonged was
stationed near Sandusky Bay, and it was
while he was there that the conflict be
tween the British and U. S. nayies
which was afterward made famous at the
battle of Lake Erie, was imminent. Du-
ring the latter part of August of that
year Commodore Perry issued a call for
naval recruits from the army stationed
near Sandusky, and of the regiment to
which Tallaferro belonged, twenty seven
enlisted, himself being one of the mum
Der. He was one of the seamen on the
vessel Somers, which came into the bat
tie of Lake Erie as one of the reserves.
1t did good fighting, however, and a mum.
Der of those on board were injured, and
we believe one or two killed. In 1918
he was honorably discharged from the
service of the United States, and his let
ter of discharge is treasured up as one of
| the mementoes of life not without
thrilling incidents. After leaving the
service he devoted himself to the study
and practice Of medicine, and sine 1871
resided in Cincinnati.

The result on Governor is in doubt.

TROUBLEIN CHURCHES.

BISHOP WHITEHoUsE Us. REV MR.. CHENEY.
We publish to-day an editorial, Church
Quarrels, from the New York Ifibuna,
and also an editorial, An Extraordinary
Lawsuit-George II. Stewart and a
Church Property Involved, from
the New York Post. We ON
mend both editorials to careful reading.
The TF55unes editorial has reference TO
one of the Episcopal Churches in Phil
adeIphia mainly. The Posts editorial
has reference to Reformed Presbyterian
Church in Philadelphia. We have heard
of the case Of George H. Stewart-being
disciplined for singing HYMNS before,
but the Episcopal case in Philadt!phia is
new to us, and may perhaps be to our
readers
Bishop Whiffhouse has iniated pro
ceedings tor another trial against Rev
Nj. Cheney He has also written a letter
to the Vestry of Christ Church, and the
Vestry have written an able reply to the
Bishop. The Vestry sustains Mr. Cheney
and regrets the action of the Bishop.
However interesting the proceedings Of
the Whitehouse-Cheney case might be
to our readers, they are altogether too
Voluminous to find place in the TELE-
GRAPH. We shall however endeayor
briefly to keep our readers posted as the
case progresses.

Ostrich trapping and tanning is very
profitable business at the Cape of Good
Hope. Traps are set in enclosures of fif.
teen or twenty acres in extent, and when
caught the birds are easily tanned. Their
eggs are Matched by means of oil lamps
Their most valuable feathers grow. from
the wings and are worth from $3.50 to
5000 per pound, and it requires twenty
to make pound. The value of an ostrich
in good plumage is from $50 to $500. A
skillful hunter will kill seventy or eighty
in season.

SENATOR AMES ON KU-KLUX OUT
RACES

Senator Ames, of Mississippi, made his
MAIDEN speech on the 2Sth ult., upon the
condition of Union men in the South
He said that the story IF the outrage
inflicted upon the loyal men and womer
Of the South by the Ku-Klux, has moi
been half told. He attributed the real
cause of the inhuman persecution to the
4 enfranchisement of the colored people
and their daring to contend for political
honors and emoluments with their white
fellow citizens. The statement that the
minority had control in the South, YVES
false. In the State Of Mississippi, the
co'orod population had a majority Of TO-
600, and their sympathies were all with
the Republican party. He ridiculed the
stereotyped Democratic assertion that the
army had been used to intimidate citi.
zens and prevent the free expression of
the popular will at the polls, and said
that the only voters who had been sys-
tematically driven away from the polls
were the colored Republicans. AS "a
contrast the unforgiving spirit Of slavery
and rebellion still rampant at the South,
he read the resolutions passed by
the Republican Legislature OF Mississip-
pi asking Congress to remove the politi-
cal liabilities of all people in that State,
and yet the very members who passed
these resolutions have been compelled to
appeal to the government for protection
against the rebel outrages which were
daily perpetrated in that State. He
then referred to the recent dispatch from
the Governor Of Mississippi, to the effect
that the State authorities are competent
to put down any disorders, which may
prevail and also to Governor Alcorn's
proclamation of December, 1870, against
the KuKlux- Khan. The Legislature had
appropriated $4,000 to aid in the arrest
and conviction of Ku-Klux assassins
Governor Alcorn had drawn every cent of
that money, and yet not solitary Ku-
Klux had been arrested The speaker
said he was in the constant receipt oil
letters from Mississippi detailing whole
sale outlages upon unionists by rebels
The telegraphic report of the riot atI
Meridian was untrue. The judge who
was shot was Republican, and it was
preposterous to say that the colored men
would STAY their friend.
Senator Ames then cad Il letter from
Republican member of the Legislature
Il
combination by the rebels to overthrow
Republicanlsm in that county; that
many murders Of colored men had been
committed which would never be dis
covered that colored men had been dis
armed by the Sheriff, who promised to
protect them but had failed to do so
The fact that over 500 murders of Re-
publicans have occurred within sixty
days III single State for which there
were no convictions, and the fact that
no Ku Klux had ever been punished, was
spoken of by the Senator as indicative
of the wide spread terrorism exercised
bg the Klu Klux order The murders
at the South, unlike individual, cases at
the North, were systematic and fof po-
lltcal reasons
Senator Ame's speech, Of which the
above abstract is briet outline, was a
vigorous and manly utterance and WAS
listened to with marked attentio

ADULTERATIoN OF BUTTRR.-People
who ought to know, say that whenevet
butter in the market exhibits at this sea-
son the fine, rich, golden color, which all
good butter has in May and June, it may
be generally set down as fixed fact that
this attractive appearance is due to the
presence of foreignlmatters. The mater
rial commonly used for coloring butter is
annotto. A recent examination of sever
al samples of the finest butter that could
be procured, revealed the fact that
while all were colored with annotto, each
sample also contained large percentage
OF Inorganic matter. Copper was found
IN nearly every sample. While in one
OF them traces of arsenic were detected.
This is comforting fact.-Bufalo IN

SAN DOMINGO CoMMIssIoN.-Th San
Domingo Commission returned about a
week ago. Up till yesterday they had
not made their report, but, according to
telegraphic accounts their report is, and
has, all the time, been about ready 1t
is generally said that their report will be
favorable, but we prefer to wait and let
the report speak for itself.
Later: The President transmitted
the report of the San Domingo Commls
sioners to Congress yesterday, accompain
ed by message in which he says hi
opinion remains unchanged, but recon-
mends that no action be taken on the
subject during the present session of Con
gress.

FRANCE.

France is again in deadly war a cav
il war of very uncivil kind is being
carried on between the Theirs Govern
ment at Versaills and the Central Com
mittee at Paris. Between the Govern
ment Of the people of France, ard the
Government Of the mob at Paris. The
Theirs Government is in every respect
the legitimate Government of France,
and has been tardy of going into battle.
So fa1 as Paris IS concerned, there has
been revolution. Those who rose
against the Government got possession
of the city, probabl.; because those in
Paris opposed to the revolutionists did
not want to be brought in collision with
them. Getting possession, they ordered
an election, which was held in Paris and
carried very largely in their favor. And
those in authority in Paris are now there
by virtue of election and appointment
The Paris Government, or Communists as
they are called, determined to march to
Versailles and disperse the Government
and armies collected there. On Sunday
about four o'clock p M. they marched
out of Paris from $4,000 to 10000 strong,
and on Monday made general attack
They calculated that Valerien would
join them, whereas she opened fire upon
them with terrible effect, Vinoy has
command Of the Government forces, and
has routed the insurgents at every point
Bergaret commanded 100000 insurgents
and the insurgent loss is reported al
10000 men killed, wounded and missing
And it was said Vinoy's troops would
enter Paris yesterday or to-day.

LORE LEI, AND THE NIGHT WATCHER
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN
BY NELLIE FRENCH.

We publish in this issue of the TELE-
GRAAH letter from Hon. Volney French,

attention The letter is interesting ofitselt
and is rendered still mere 50 by including
the poem Lore Lei, translated from the
German by Nellie French. We common /
the poem Lore Lei" to the attention
of our readers We presume the renders
of the TELEGRAPH will remember The
Night Watchers translated from the
German by Nellie French, which appear,
ed in the TELEGRAPH, Jan. 20 From
want of time and oversight we neglected
10 call attention to "The Night Watch
err at the time OF It's appearance But as
NC gave it the frs column in the TELE
GRAPH, and as being translated from the
German by Nellie French, We think il
Imust have been read and appreciated.
TAough not acquainted with the German
and unable to judge of their accuracy,
this much we know: Nellie's transla-
tions are all readable and quite interest
ing.
In speaking of Nellie's age some time
ag we made her two years older than
She is She is ten years old and Is
uaw in her eleventh year. We made her
twelve years old. Or rather the types
made us make her twelve years old. We
first got her age too young and gave di.
rections for the correction in the types,
and as corrected she was made older
than we intended to make her We pre-
sumo Nellie does not like to be made old
er than she is; For her father has twice
reminded us that she is not as old by two
years us we made her. We have known,
in our day, ladies who were willing to be |
made older than they were, and others
who were willing to be made younger than
they were. But Nellie is not the right
age to be willing to be made either
younger or older than she is. Desiring
to do Nellie justice in all respects, we
give her age correctly and ask y careful
reading of her translations.

MANCHESTER ITEMS.

RELIGIOUS READING.-Despite the bad
walking 4 goodly number of persons al
tended divine service or last Sabbath, and the
number present ut the Sabbath schools was
very creditable. It was the regular day for
the afternoon sermon before the Sabbath
school of the Methodist church, but in con-
sequence of the weather this was postponed
until the fifth Sabbath. It is Known that for
some time rivalry has existed between the
boys and girls at the Baptist church, the sex
having the largest number Of scholars pre-
sent the greatest number Of Sabbat!ls being
entitled to silk banner and the champion
ship for 1871. Up to December Sd it was
a tie. On the 10th and 18th each party had
an equal number present. On next Sunday
it will be decided, and the friends of both
parties are working earnestly. The banner
will be presented on the 2Sth instant. There
will be an excellent collation., addresses, etc.
The Rev. Mr.. Hatcherand other distinguished
friends of the Sabbath-school cause will be
present.
The SoUTHsIDE BUILDING FUND COMPANY.
We have before noticed the election of
James r. Perdue as president and Messrs.
j. FL thatcher, P. H. Gary, Jessie Rice, T.

zation has been completed as follows L. S.

John E. Taylor. solicitor; and Z. Gary, c. {.
Mcl9ae, and \. Ii. Cogbill, as trustees. The
company expects TO be in active operation by
June 1st, and we are sure that from the
names of its officers it will he success.
A TEMPERANCE CoLLATloN.--Never in our
recollection have we attended a more agrcca.
bic supper than that given by Lafayette Di-
vision, Sons of Temperance, on last Saturday
night. The Rev. Mr.. Christian presided, as
sisted by the Rev. Messrs. Hammond and
Deans. and most agreeable time was spent.
The absence of the Intoxicating bowl was
forgotten in the abundance of good cheer
provided, and every guest departed not only
full of the good things of this life, but in full
possession of all mental faculties. Lafayette
Division is doing yeoman service in the tenn
perance cause.
PAINFUL ACcIDENT.--On Sunday morning
Harvey, the little son of William S. Smith,
carpenter, residing OH Hull street near Tenth,
was severely scalded by accidentally pulling
on himself vessel containing hot coffee.
DR.. Archer was called ia, and applied the
usual remedies, and the little sufferer is doing
well. Fortunately, the face escaped, but the
skin was entirely burned of the body down
to the lower eXtremitics. The iniarjes re-
ceived not being internal, with care his
speedy recovery may be expected.

ESIARGEMEST OF TIE FIRST POLICE STA
TIoS.-Tie work of cnlarging and repairing
the First Police Station has just been conf
pleted. The contract was awarded to MT. d:
NJ. Newell by the Council! committee, and
this gentleman bus carried it out faithfully.
The cells have been removed from their
former location to the spot where the office
once stood, and the office is now where the
cells were. Two windows Of convenient
size have been cut in the north wall for ven
tilation; the old stairway torn down and
wider flight substituted; the battery
of the firc-alalm and police telegraph re-
moved up stairs, where water stand
and pipes have been placed for the con-
vcnicncc of the superintendent in draw
ing his battery; the cells are well ventilated
and comfortably heated; and, indeed, both the
office and the station proper are now OF the
first order. In the main room of the station
house stands neat case with glass doors con-
tanning fifteen brcccll-loading rifles, over
which is painted "Armory of First Police
Station" The desks and chairs have all been
vanished and put in tip-top order, and yes
ter(aay Captain Tyler took charge formally Of
his new quarters, where he will mercifuly,
and yet rigidly, enforce discipline among his
men as well as his prisoners. To-day there
will be general securing and cleaning, and
then they will he ready for business on big
