Two armies covered hill and pIalu 1 no
Where Rappahannock's waters u
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
OF battles recent slaughter.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In mead of heavenly azure
And each dread gun Of the elements
Slept in its hid embrasure.
The breeze so softly blew Il mado
No forest leaf 10 CULVER;
And The smoke Of the random cannonade
Rolled slowly down The river.
And now where circllng hills looked down
With cannon grimly planted,
Ger listless camp and silent town Du
The golden sunset slanted;
When on the fervid air there came
strain, now rich, now tender,
The music seemed itself afame
With days departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn
And lively clash Of cymbal.
Down focked the soldiers to the bank
Till margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,
And one was gray with Rebels"
Then all was still; and then the band
With movement light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest, hill and strand
Reverberate with Dixie"
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED glow
Went proudly DER its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout lis deepest flow
With yelling of the Rebels.
And then pause, and then again
The trumpet pealed sonorOus,
And Yankee Doodle" was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles
Loud slrieked the cr0wding Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugle sang
Above the stormy riot
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
The sad lone stream its nOiseless tread
Spread Der the glistening pebbles;
And silent now the Yankees stood,
And silent stood the Rebels.
For each responsive soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing,
So deeply "Home, Swert Home" had stirreC
The hidden iounts of feeling.
OF blue or gray, the soldier sees,
AS by the wand of fairy,
The cottage meath the liye-oak trees,
The cottage by the prairie.
Or cold or warm, his native skies
Bend in their beauty DER him,
Sending their tcar-mist in their eyes
The dear ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after rain
In Aprils fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory walked by music's art,
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternfst Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumber.
And fair the form of Music shines
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still, mid wars embattled lines
Gave this one touch of nature.

Tho Vallejo Independent tells the fol-
WA Iaughable incident occurred one
evening, recently, on the up train to
Sacramento. There were two seats. in
the car turned so as to face each other.
One occupied by a lady and the other by
Chinaman. Evidently the lady did
not reish the presence of the Chinaman,
and set her wits to work 10 oust him out.
She succeeded about as follows
Motioning the Chinamau to rise, she
explained to him that she wanted TO
take the cushions and their frames and
place them lenthwise from seat 10 seat
John said "all rightee," and got out in
the aisle, while she placed the seats as
above described and then proceeded to
lie down on the bed thus improvised,
with her head resting or her valise. ai
She supposed that the Chinamaan
would at once take the hint that the
lady wanted to take little rest, in the
space usually occupied by four per-
sons But John hadn't heard OF the wo-
mans rights movement, and at ohce pro-
ceedpd to crawl in and stretch himself
by her side, with his head on little
bundle of his own. The Chinese are an
imitatiye race, and like to do as others
do, you know.
The lady as soon as she discovered that
she had bed-fellow, got up little Wild
ly, and started for the next car, to the
infinite amusement of the passengers
who had been watching the little scene,
with some interest. John took no no
tice of the fun he had created, but went
to sleep with the whole bed 10 himself
1t is not at all unlikely that John
Bulls modification over the Alabama
treaty and the decision OF the German
Emperor awarding us the island Of San
Juan will not produce change in the
ministers In spite of the late enormous
growth of material interests, industrial
aud commercial, the combative tenden.
cies of the popular mind have unmistakc
ably shown themselves. The surplus
valor which might have been exercised
upon ihe Yankees now promises to fine
vent upon the Russians in Asia. Some
thing must be done 10 meet the whims
of Johnny's taurine humor, or there vii
be lot of raw material spoit.

A STRANGE MURDER In IRE

Lady and Her fs Bufcnereo

A Lady and Her scs Bufchereo
ENNISKILLEN, Dec. 31.--A most dia0oi-
ical murder has stained the hitherto quiet
and orderly character Of HoIS wood, near
Belfast. An aged lady named Mss lsaeei-
Ia ker, and her servant Jane Tineri were
discovered on Monday morning, the Stsh
inst, to have been brusally murdered 10
Miss Ker's house, known as "1he Croft;i
the weapon with which the awful deeds
were done being a salamander, used for
Lighting fires, and which was found lying
beside the body of Miss Ker, who was dis
covered after some time spent in searching;
lying in the scullery, With her head and
face fearfully demolished. She had
been dragged into this apartment after the
commission of the awful deed, and placed
on blanket with a green coverlat over her.
The maid was first discovered ou the first
landing, by the milk girl il the morning
looking through the window. She had rung
the bell for the purpose Of leaving the milk
sc usual, but getting no response she left
the can at the door and proceeded to other
customers.
On returning she saw the can was still
there, and she again rang the bell; then
went round the house to the rear, and on
looking through the window saw the maid
lying hfeless near the parlor door. She soon
reported the circumstance and the door was
opened by the magistrates and police, when
the horrifying facts became evident. Miss
Ker had the evening before gone to the
house Of q Unitarian minister, Mr.. McAles-
ter, and ia conversation with bis wife had
tolt her that she had found two women in
the kitchen with her servants, and had felt
the smell Of whisky off them. She had
told the servants tosend them away. Moth
ing more was seen of Miss Ker alive. Next
morning two v omen were seen to leave the

MADISON as A qEHPERANCE MAN.

Many years ago, when the temperance
movement began in Virginia, eX-President
Madison lent the weight Of his influence to
the cause. Case bottles and decanterE dis
appeared from the sideboard at Montpelier
wine was no longer dispensed to The
many visitors at that hospita5le mansion.
Nor was this all. Harvest began, but the
customary barrel of whisky vas not pur-
chased, and the song Of the scythmen in
the wheat field languished. In lieu of whis
ky, there was beverage most inn0cuous,
unstimulating and unpalatable to the army
of dusky labOrers.
The following morning, Mr. Madison
called in his head man to make the usual
inquiry, "Nelson, how comes on the
crop?"
"Po'ly, Mars Jeems-monsus poly"
"Why, what's the matter?"
"Things is seyus."
"What do you mean by serious?n
"We gwine los dat crap"
CLOSE the cropl Why should we lose
HCause dat ar crap ar heap too big crap
to be gathered 'thout whisky. 'Lasses-
and-water nuver gathered no crap sence de
world war made, ner faint gwine to-"
Mr.. Madison succumbed: the whisky was
procured, the scrap" was 'gethered," cas-
bottles and decanters resppesred, and the
ancient order was restored at Montpelier,
never again to be disturbed.

The Washington Chronicle has the fol-
lowing important item concerning registered
letters:
The system Of registered letters now in
vogue under the operation of the Postofice
Department is in fair way of being i'm
proved upon. An Office entirely new has
been designated by the Postmaster General,
and has already been filed by a new ap-
pointment. Everything in connection with
the system of registered letters comes under
his charge, and as more attention will be
paid to registered letter affairs the conse-
quence will be more perfect arrangement.
As it is now, missing letter that has been
registered can only be traced to the office in
which it disappeared. Ii il could be SO
fixed that registered letter could be traced
through every step of its transmission, then
the Government would be safe in assuming
all responsibility and liability for its cor
tents, and great desideratum would be
reached.
