CRIPPLED AND PENNILESS.
The Strange story OF an ex-COnTed.
Fayetteville Express.

NANSNAAAG AAEANo1ss
A travel stained pedestrian, who gave his
name as johnson, passed through this
place Friday last. He was badly crippled
and apparently in very INDECENT circuH-
stances. In response to certain inquiries
propOunded by several persons whose char
table offices he solicited, he related a
strange story, which, if true, embraces a
sad personal experience, as well as a nOta-
BILE instance Of official presumption. His
narrative was, in substance, as follows:
He was a member of John Morgan's IA
nous command in 1862, and in a skirmish
near MurfreesbOrO, in that year, was badly
wounded and fell into the hands of the
Federal troops. Immediately after his
capture he was sent to Rock Island,
prison Of bitter memory, where he remained
a helpless cripple until the close of the
war, when, instead of being discharged, he
was transferred to the JEFF. Davis Hospital
in Marion county, Ohio, where he remained
until a few weeks ago. His detention in
the latter place is the strange part Of the
story. His wounds were of such nature
as to render him entirely helpless, and be-
ing unable TO work, be was a mere encum-
bTance to the establishment. He claims,
however, that his detention was due TO
the fact that the keeper Of the hospital
received a liberal stipend from the Gov
eminent for his board, and as there were
quite a number Of disabled Confederate
soldiers quartered in the same establish
ment, under similar circumstances, it was
manifestly to the interest of that OficsrtO re-
tain them. During his confinement in the
hospital, he, in common with his fellow
prisoners, was not allowed 10 communicate
by writing, or otherwise, with the outside
world, and his letters TO friends and rela-
tives were invariably intercepted by the
hospital authorities. A few weeks ago he
regained the use Of his limbs, aud the first
use he made of them was TO leave the hos
pital and strike out for Tennessee. Hav-
inc no money, he was forced to travel on
foot, and trust to the charitable for sub
sistence. He succeeded in reaching this
place without suffering for food, but his
general condition was anything but enviable.
BE tod his story in quiet, earnest way,
that enlisted the sympathy Of all who heard
il, and as he gave an accurate history Of
his command up to the date of his capture,
and displayed a familiarity with the char
acterS OF several persons who belonged TO
it, which must have grown out Of a per-
sOnal acquaintance, his statements were re-
ceiVed without the figurative grain of salt.
He says that two citizens of this county
David Eagerly and - Landess-are at
present confined in the hospital mentioned,
and the latter claiming TO be a son of Jesse
Landess. We do not pretend to say that
JohnsOn's story is worthy Of credence, but
it is certainly plausible enough to awaken
investigation. At any rate the man, as
well as his narrative, enlisted the serious
attention of several of our prominent citi-
zens, and at their suggestion We give pub
licity to both.

A YOUTHFUL IMAGINATION VIO-
LENTLY CHECKED.
When Mrs. r went home from

When Mrs. B. went home from shop
ping yesterday she entered upon a sceue of
thrilling horror being enacted in the back
yard.
In the center of the yard a dry goods
box was in flames and the baby was living
in front Of it squalling Justify from heat
and fright. Down behind the currant
bushes were two of the neighborhood bows,
skulking around with painted faces, chick
en- feathers in their hair, and bows in their
hands, while her hopeful son had on his
fathers moccasin slippers, his cap turned
wrong side out upon his head, and an old
army gun in his hand He was creeping
along with evident murderous intent to-
ward the roosters behind the bushes.
''What on earth is the matter ?" cried
the alarmed lady.
"Sh.-sh!' said her hopeful; ''dOn't you
see them inguns has burned down Haw-
kin's cabin and nearly killed his baby,
burned up the family, aud I'm the Lean
Wolf going to bring down vengince on the
sculps of the vsrnints J"
But in about fifteen seconds after he
went down 70 the wOOd-pile, wishing he
was the fat woman in the museum CT the
big medicine man of the Pawnees. He
bad been reading an Indian tale in a New
York paper, you see.

WHEN THE SONGS GONE OUT OF

'Whcn the songs gone out OF your life, yOu
can't start another while it's a-ringing IN your
ears. but its best 70 have a bit Of silence, and
ont o. that NAV be a salln'll come by-and-by."-

When the songs gone cut Of your life,
That YOU thought would last &c the end
That first sweet song OF the heart,
That no AFTER days can lend
The song OF the bird % the trees,
The song OF the wind 20 the flowers,
The song That the heart sings low 10 itself
When Il wakes in life's morning hours.
fsYou can hiart no other song"
Nat even trenulOus note
VIII falter forth on the empty air,
It dies in your aching throat.
II Is al In vain that you try,
For the spirit Of song has fed
The nightingale SING no more 70 the rose
When the beautiful flower is dead
So let SILENCE softly fan
On the bruised hearts quivering stTingst
Perhaps from the loss Of all you may learn
The song that the seraph sings;
A grand and glorious psalm
That viii tremble, and rise, and thrill,
And MI your breast with its grateful rest,
And its lonely yearnings still.

A Railroad Train Chased by the Tidal
wave.
st. Louis GlObe-Democrat, 18th.
Mr.. d. P. Deane, Book keeper Of the
BOatmen's Savings Bank, returned last
evening from Kentucky. At P. NJ, We'd
nesday, he left Evansville, Ind, on the
steamer Idlewild, and arrived at Shawnee
town at $50 p. NJ, yesterday, to connect
with the st. Louis and Southeastern Rail-
road. The passengers were transferred 70
the Riverside Hotel, and at P. NJ. left
in an omnibus for the depot. When about
half the distance had been made, the Occu-
pants of the stage were startled by a man
running toward them and shouting: "The
leyee is broke, keep Oui Of the waym At
the same time the locomotive whistle was
signaling danger, and the roar Of the rush
ing waters was heard. In the omnibus
were twenty passengers, One-half the num-
Der being ladies; vet under these frightful
circumstances none became panic-stTicken,
but trusted TO Providence and the driver
to get them safe back 10 the hotel. After
returning to the hotel the railroad officials
reported that the water had not yet reached
the tack, and an attempt would be made
to run the train out; Consequently the pas
sengers again took to the Omnibuses and
were transferred safely to the cars. The
trains started at a rate Of speed to beat the
food but after going about half mile, the
engineer met the flood pouring along to-
wards the train at a rate Of about ten miles
an hour. Immediately the motive power
was reversed to run back to the depot.
Before arriving there, however, the food
overlook the train, and soon the water was
three feet deep on the track, and even
flooded the floors Of the cars.
On getting back 70 the depot the passen-
gers were safely transferred to the omni-
buses, and appeared again at the River
side Hotel, which was soon the only place
in the town on dry land, as in three hours
time after the alarm was given the water
had covered the entire country from three
to ten feet in depth. The excitement Of
the citizens, who were driven out Of their
houses, was indiscribable.
About ] A. NJ, the local ticket agent at
Sh twneetOwn, in his determination 10 get
the passengers out Of danger and through
20 their destination, chartered the ferry
boat Clifton, and carried them seven miles
down the Ohio aud eighteen miles up the
Saline river, to Equality, a station on the
Southeastern railroad, twelve miles from
Shawneetown. At that station, Mr.. Jacob
Fox, the Train-master and Telegraph Su-
peIintendent, dispatched to McLeansbOro
for a train to come for tie passengers.
While waiting he put forth every endeavor
to make the unfortunate travellers as COM
Portable as possible al the hotel. At 4:3O
P. NJ, the train departed from Equality,
and arrived in st, Louis al 11:30 O'Clock last
night,

ANINDIAN DEITY.


Capt. Nicholson brought to town con-
siderable Of a curiosity in the shape Of a
small image or idol, which seemed to be
formed out Of red clay and hardened in
some manner. Il represented a human
face and form in a kneeling posture, with
the turbaned head bowed as if in prayer.
On the back, which IS somewhat "humped
up" an aperture in the shape and size of
pipe bowl, with another small aperture
at right angles to the larger one. The Cap
tain explains that the image was probably
used as an idol for worship by the mound
builders or some prehistoric race, as the
Indians are not known TO have had idols.
The mOrtice IN the back Of the figure was
used, it is supposed, 20 burn incense. This
prehistoric relic was plowed up the other
day in one Of Capt. NiehOlson's fields,
which had been considerably washed by
the food f last spring. 1t has been de-
posted with Mr.. J. NJ. DenniDg, and will
add not little to his already interesting
collection of Indian relics.

Since our last, in which we alluded TO
Ham Carter having upset the Hon. Rev.
Gray in his sherifalty aspirations, the
H. r. 6. has returned, and has thrown him
self into the fight in his usual style. He
made a speech near Eggs Point a few nights
since, from which we may infer his usual
range Of argument. he informed his and
itors that he was bound to be sheriff; that
Gov. Ames was going to send him thOus-
aud stand Of arms, and, if necessary to his
election, his militia would kill everything
with white skin in the county; and the
question of "bOnd didn't trouble him in
the least"
