THE YBLLOWHAMMERS NEST.

The yelow-hammer came TO build his nest
High in the elm-tree's ever-nodding crest;
All the long day upon his task intent
Backward and forward busily he went,
Gathering from far and near the tiny shreds
That brides weave for little brides beds;
Now bits of grass, now bits Of vagrant string,
And now some queerer, dearer sort Of thing.
For on the lawn where he was wont TO come
In search of stuff to build his pretty home,
We dropped one day lock Of golden hair
Which our wee darling easily could spare;
And close beside 1t tenderly we placed
A lock that had the STOPPING shoulders
graced
OF her old grandsire; it was white as snow,
Orcherry-trees when they are all ablow.
Then throve the yellow-hammer's work
apace;
Hundreds of times he sought the lucky place
Where sure, he thought, in his bird-fashion
dim,
wondrous provision had been made for him
Both locks, the white and golden, disap.
peared;
The nest was finished and the brood was
reared;
And then there came pleasant summers
day
When the last yellow hammer flew away.
Ere long, in triumph, from its leafy height,
We bore the nest so wonderfully dight,
And saw how prettily the white and gold
Made warp and woof of many cleaning
fold.
Bat when again the yellow hammers came,
Cleaving the orchards with their pallid flame,
Grandsire's white locks and baby's golden
head
Were lying low, both in one grassy bed.
And so more dear than ever is the nest
Taken from the elm-tree's ever-nodding crest,
Little the yellow hammer thought how rare
A thing he wrought of white and golden hair

down, she asked:
"Now, John Washington, don't you feel
better--a little betterY"
"Oh, l dunnop he groaned turning
over.
She turned over his pillsw, put damp
cloth on his forehead, counted his pulse,
and whispered
"See If you can't catch little sleep
while go and wash the dishes"
When she went out Sarah Jane had her
brother William harnessed to chair and
was driving him around the kitchen for
her horse.
"Whatl didn't tell you that your fa-
ther was dangerously illr" exclaimed the
mother, as she boxed their ears. at
would be a pretty story to go out that you
children were playing horse when your fa-
ther lay dyingl'
The children subsidized and as the moth
er piled the dishes together and carefully
scraped the crumbs from each plate on to
platter she couldn't help but wonder how
she would look in grapes. Her husband
was well known, belonged to the OddFel-
lows and debating society, and of course
everybody would turn out to the funeral.
She would have lots of sympathy, and the
head man of the Odd Fellows would see
that the funeral passed off all right. She
wouldn't never marry again, Ofscourse,
though it would be hard for her to bring
up two small children and settle up her
husbands business and earn her own sup
port. She would be the Widow JONES'"
and if she smiled at all ii must be faint
smile, and if she talked she must have
handkerchief ready TO wipe the tears from
her eyes.
As the last dish was wiped her revery
was broken by howl from William,
who had fallen over log in the back
yard.
"Whatl bowling like that when your
dear father is dyingln she exclaimed, as
she shook him right and left. -s
He subsidized and she sent Sarah Jane
down to the market after some lean NUT
ton to make the invalid nice broth.
"The poor manl' she sighed, as she
started for the bedroom She reached it
to find him out of bed and dressed and
ready to go downtown. The horseradish
drafts were hanging on the bedstead, the
pillow was on the floor and the spread,
her best-wds in heap under the bed.
Why, John Washington" she eX-
claimed, raising her hands.
I'm going downtown, he replied in
| determined voice.
And hain't you going to have fit of
sickness"

And the poor woman sat down and

she might not have chance to cut his

The shawneetOwn Gn.) Flood.
EYANsvmIr, Ind., Aug. /.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 10.
PERSONS coming from Shawneetown
give particulars of the flood of yesterday
morning. The dyke is rectangular in
shape, inclosing the town. The river
commenced to rise Tuesday, very rapidly,
owing to the rise at the mouth of the Wa
bash, nineteen miles east of Shawnee
town. When the west wing of the levee
about half mile below the town--com-
menced to show signs of weakness, the
people of the town deserted their business
and houses and worked with sand. bags to
strengthen the levee., Wednesday the au-
thorities of the town gave the alarm that
the levee was expected to break, and the
people drove their stock to the hills north
of the town and many camped on them.
Everybody had moved their furniture,
carpets and goods from the first floors to
the second stories, and were prepared
for the forthcoming flood with skit1s,
at-boats and RATS. Wednesday night
the whole male population worked at
the dyke, but at about three O'Clock gave
up, as the river had reached within six
inches of the top of the levee. A con-
ductor of the Northwestern Railroad SAYS
his train was just leaving for ST. Louis
and had got about half a mile from the
depot when he was met by man calling
go backl for Gods sake, turn back (!
the levee is breaking" In a few mo-
ments he heard a loud noise and loud
shouts of distress. He turned the train
back and reached the hotel and depot in
time for the passengers to alight and take
their baggage out. The furniture of the
Pullman palace car was taken up, and the
cushions of the passenger cars were car
ried out and the men deserted the train
Just as the water rolled upon it. The
water was now eight feet deep, and the To-
comotive was covered with water to the
top of the cab. About one mile
of the track was washed away by
the force of the water. The breach
of the dyke is 175 feet long, into
which the water from the river
rushed, and soon the whole town for ten
square miles was in eight feet of water. A
few minutes before it gave away the work
men fled in time to save their lives. The
water ran into the streets in great rolling
waves, conveying before il logs and drift
and entering the houses with such force as
to break pillars, plastering and partitions
The waves made a moaning noise like the
roar of the sea. To-day the water fell one
inch, but the town will not be out of watel
for week. Not house in the place wa:
spared, and the people are living on tho
second floors. They go about in skitfs, bu
many have moved away TO drier localities
Many hogs, cows and chickens, but NJ
persons, were drowned, as far as can bt
learned. The damage is not to he esti
mated .'H. t...

The Mountain Meadows Massacre
Trial.

THE Salt Lake City (Utah) correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune writes as fol-
lows concerning the recent trial at Beaver
of the Mormon John ID. Lee for his con-
nection with the Mountain Meadows mas
sacre: .t.
The massacre at Mountain Meadows
took place in September, 1851. In July,
1875, eighteen years afterward, the first ar
raignment of any of the actors in that trag-
edy was had, and the jury (twO-thirds
Mormon) disagreed, rendering the proceed
ings a farce. This, Notwithstanding it
was abundantly established blythe prOsecu-
tion that the occurrence is rightly under
stood by the world, and the failure on the
part of the defense to either disprove the
facts as generally received or to establish
even a preteXt for the wholesale murder.
Which shows, taken with the tone of the
community in which the trial took place,
as witnessed by numerous indications. in
side and outside of court, thatthe people Of
Southern Utah, after eighteen years of
reflection, after the growth of a new gen
Grafton, sympathize with the perpetrators
of the massacre, rather than with the eff
forts 10 nunish II
Counsel for the defense exhibited curl
Gus spectacle-some of them working for
and of the exposure of the truth others,
and among them the venerable church
counsel, who seem TO have appeared
voluntarily and without fee, except it was
from the church, cOnfining themselves to
vain effort to defend the church. A
little examination will show thatthe theory
advanced is too thin and too late. ~ TX
According to it, the emigrants harried
and imposed on the people, poisoned
springs and sold the Indians poisoned
meat; that the Indians, justly incensed,
gathered and attacked them in revenge
that the Mormons thereupon hastened TO
the scene to rescue the emigrants; that they
succeeded in persuading them 70 give up
their arms and properly TO appease the
Indians, and were conducting them to a
place of safety in the rear; that then
Klingan Smith States evidenced and q
| few other black-hearted Mormons, IRON
native ferocity, fired upon them; that this
excited the Indians beyond control, who
thereupon being conveniently in ambush)
appeared and perpeGated the massacre
If this were true, and Brigham Young,
then Governor Of the Territory as we'll as
head of the church and Superintendent
Of Indian Affairs, were an honest man
what indignation he must have felt agains
