THE I:II Kc NANCE or 4 ROSE. r

THE ROMANCE oF 4 ROSE, e: :'':
From the Atlanti; Monthly for October.]
1t is nearly a hundred years ago q y
Since the day that the Count de Rocham-
Our alley against the British crown - :,
Met Washington in Newport town. - .
'Twas the month Of March and the air
was chill, a. -.
But bareheadel over Aquidneck hill, !.
Guest and host they took their ways
While ON either side was the grand array
OF gallant army, French and fine, :. 4
Ranged three deep i'll glittering line;
And the French fleet sent elconle roar
OF a hundred guns from Connecticut
shore.
And the bells rang out from every steeple,
Al d from street to street the Newport
people,
Followed and cheered with hearty zest,
De Rechambeau and his honored guest.
And women out Of windows bent,
And out Of the windows smiled and sent,
Many coy admiring glance
To the fine young officers of France.
And tie story goes that the belle Of the
town
Kissed a rose and flung it down
Straight ut the feel of De Rochambeau;
And the gallant marshal, bending low,
Lifted it up with Frenchman's grace,
And kissed it back with o glance at the
face
OF the daring maiden, where she stood,
Blushing out Of her siiken hood.
That Mig bit ut the ball, still the story goes,
The Marshal OF France wore faded rose
in his gold-laced coat; but he looked in
vain
For the giver's beautiful face again.
Night after night, and day after day,
The Frenchman eagerly sought, they say,
At feast or at church, or along the street,
For the girl who flung her rose at his feet.
And she, night after night, day after day,
Was speeding farther and farther away
From the fatal window, the fatal street,
Where her passionate heart had suddenly
beat.
A throb too much for the cool control
A Puritan teaches to heart aud soul;
A throb too much for the wrathful eyes
OF one who had watched in dismayed sur.
prise
From the street below and taking the
gauge
Of woman's heart in that moments rage,
He swore, this old colonial squire,
That before the daylight should expire,
!. This daughter Of his, with her wit and
grace,
And her dangerous heart and her beauti-
full face,
Should be on her way to sure retreat
Where no rose of hers could fall at the
feet
Ola cursed Frenchman, high or low;
And 80 while the Count lie Rochambeau
In his gold.laccd coat wore faded flower,
And awaited the giver hour by hour,
She was sailing away in the wild March
night,
On the little deck o. the sloop Delight,
Guarded even in the darkness there

Three weeks after brig bore down
Into the harbor Of the Newport town,
Towing wreck-twas the sloop Delight;
OF Hampton rocks, in the very sight
OF the land she sought, she and her crew
And all on board of her, full in view
OF the storm. bound fishermen over the
bay,
Went to their doom on that April day.
When Rochambeau heard the terrible
tale,
He muttered a prayer, for moment grew
pale;
Then "Mon Dieu!' he exclaimed, $50 my
fine romance
From beginning to end is a rose and a
glance"

The Hamnet Family Butchery.

PITTsBURG, May 4.-Ortwein, who
murdered the Hamnet family, was again
interviewed to-day in the Jail. He still
acknowledges having committed tbs ter
rible act, but says he had been out drink
ing beer during the day, that it made him
crazy; he nevefhefore thought of robbery
or murder, that'while under the inf1u-
ence of drink it all came into his head
in an instant, that he first killed the boy
Smith with the axe while he was sleep
ing, then the two little girls, then he ran
sacked the house. In about half an
hour the parents. who had been ont
spending the evening, came home. He
stood behind the door and struck Mr..
Hamnet down before he saw him {Or-
twein), and Mrs. Hamnet was killed al
most at the same instant. He then rihed
Mr. Hamnet's pockets. After this he
started to run out, tripped on the table
where the lamp was burning, the amp
upset, and this is what he claims set FIRE
to the house. He says that he did not
Intentionally fire it; that he never look
ed back to see whether it was blazing or
not, but started of for Pittsburg. This
was the substance of his statement to day
and there seems to be no doubt of itf cor
rectness.

The Great Inundation.

We print elsewhere the appeal, issued
by citizens of the Mississippi Delta, and
indorsed by the Louisiana delegation in
Congress, to the citizens of the United
States for relief for suffering people.
1t is estimated by these citizens that the
number of people literally washed out
and thrown upon the generosity of the
public for the means of subsistence ia
100000. The New Orleans Times, of
the 4tb instant, puts the number at 120,-
900, and says that the area of land yet
under water is between 100000 and 81
000, 1000 acres. 1t estimates the loss by
the unprecedented overflow at S10,000,-
900, and says:
''The estimates of damage must in
clude the labor previously expended in
the crops, the loss of fences, cattle,
mules, poultry, and every variety and
kind of chattel property, houses, dam
aged machinery, stores of food and cloth
ing, loss of prospective crops, also the
prospective damages for season of un-
EAARAOJCA tAAAC uhLAI b4C SuACIcIS Cdli
again find remunerative employment,
the time, labor and expense of restoring
the wasted lands, fences and habitations."
The best judges among the planters
put the loss of cotton crop at $50, 900
bales, and the Times says il the over
aow continues till the 18th inst, it will
exceed 100000. As to the sugar crop,
it says:
"Cane can not be brought to pro-
ductive capacity under three years, and
its restoration will only be accomplished
gradually. 1t will be fair to count in
the loss not only the present year, but
the consequential loss of succeeding
years. The loss on this years crop is
variously estimated at . from $4,000 to
10000 hogsheads, but we are persuaded
that the former fgures-30,000 hogs
heads-is within the margin of certain
ty. That would be $3,000,O0o. Next
year 10000 hogsheads, $2,0o00o0, and
the year following that 10000 hogs
heads, or S1,0O0,ooO The sugar loss,
then, dlrectIy and consequential, must
be set down at $6,Oo0,00O"
The damage to rice and tobacco is es-
timated at $400,OO0. 1t is difficult to
make an approximate estimate of the |
chattel losses--of cattle, mules hogs, |
poultry, farming tools, fences, houses
and barns, but putting down the number |
Of plantations overfiowed at 5000, and |
allowing 5000 as the loss for each, which
is very moderate estimate, it would
give an aggregate loss of 81 100000.
The magnitude of this calamity and |
the completeness of the destruction of
realized and prospective subsistence,
make it apparent that IT the distressed |
people are to be really relieved the char
tiles of the people Of the United States
must be systematized and continued for
some time. It is probable that the SUP.
plies already forwarded, supplemented |
by the donations of the Government.
are sufficient to answer immediate wants., |

time that must eIapse before they will |

Recently a farmers residence near
Pittsbrug was destroyed by fire, and the
entire family, consisting Of father, moth
er, two small children, and an adopted
boy aged about fourteen years, were sup
posed to have perished in the 6ames-as
portions of their remains were discover
ed the next morning after the confiagra-
tion in the ruins. In the employ of the
family was German by the name of
Ortwein, who had been with them but
short time however, and at first it was
supposed that he also had perished with
the others. But examination of the
skulls of several of the unfortunate in
mates revealed the fact that they had
been crushed in with some implement
like hatchet or az, and at once the
opinion became common that the fami-
ly had been murdered, and the house set
on fire to conceal the terrible deed. More
diligent search was then made for the
remains of the hired man, but nothing
whatever could be found that answered
such description, and suspicion chance
fell upon him as the guilty person. And
sure enough he was. The beast has been
captured, and confesses to having done
the 6endish work. Elsewhere in this
paper will be found some account of his
arrest and confession.

Undoubtedly, the greatest curse now
besetting Kentucky, is the common prae-
tice of carrying concealed weapons in
dulged in by nearly all classes of her citi-
zens. Bloody work is frequently the re-
suit of this savage habit. Upon the
most trivial pretexts, men quarrel mo-
ment on two, and then draw -revolvers
and fire, and usually somebody is killed.
Scarcely day OF night passes that some
boly isn't assassinated or shot down in
a fight in Kentucky-the latest affair of
the kind coming to our knowledge, hav-
ing occurred in Owen county, oR Tues
day last hatween the Smoot brothers and
Walker brothers-four in ALL i'm which
one of the Walkers was instantly killed,
and the other severely wounded.
If the authorities of that State would
make the carrying of concealed weapons
a penal offense, punishable by at least n
years imprisonment in the penitentiary,
and then sock it to all offenders, there
might be some hope of Kentucky's ulti-
mate reclamation to civilized habits.

The boldest robbery committed in
Boston for long time was perpetrated
last Friday at the Merchants National
bank on State street. Alexander H. Nc
Laren having just been paid between
$4,000 and $4,000, had gone to desk, to
count it, when thief approached the
desk, apparently to count some money
he had in his hand. Seemingly, by acci-
dent, he dropped two dollar bills on the
floor, and in the act nudged Mr.. Nc
Laren on the shoulder. McLaren looked
down, whereupon the thief reached ov-
er McI4aren's shoulder and snatched
package of money containing 81 900, and
scampered off with it. McLaren was
confused, and instead of giving chase or
calling for help, began to count his mon
ey again, to see if he had actually lost
any. The robber got off and hasn't been
heard from since.
