Green Grass Under the SNOW.

The work of the sun Is slow,
But as sure as the heaven we know;
So we'll not forget,
When the skies are wet,
There's green grass under the snow.
When the winds OF winter OIow,
Wailing like voices of woe,
There are April showers,
And buds and flowers,
And green grass under the snow.
Well find that its ever SO,
In this life's uneven How;
We've only to wait,
In the face of fate,
For the green grass under the snow.

A BRApE DRUMM ERR nor.

Colonel Cyrus Leland, says the Boston Ad.
vertiser, a native Of Grafton, in this State,
now of Troy, Kan, who raised and command.
cd the Fifth Kansas Volunteers In the late
wal, relates the following incident
"In the Spring Of 1904 we were marching
along in broken, woody country In Southern
Arkansas, southwark, when one day tho in.
fantry, about 200 strong acting as escort TO
my mule train Of about 100 wagons was
moving just in advance of it. As they pass
cd sharp turn In the road by the corner OF a
field fence strong body Of rebels suddenly
rushed out from the timber and brush and
attacked them, killing and wounding the Off
GERS aud some men, and two of the three mn-
sicians. Our escort was thrown into confu-
sion and ran back so did the little drummer
boy with his drum on his shoulder. The
head Of my train was just approaching the
turn of the road but had now halted. Five
of us-myself, clerks, and orderly--were sit
ting on our horses reviewers in hand, as the
infantry came rushing back tcwnrd US I; but
the little drummer boy, ON arriving at the
fence corner just before me, looked up, bare
headed as he was, and seeing us and the train,
at once wheeled round and began beating the
long roll, which means fall into line.'
!" The little black-h haired fellow played hts
level BEST and the flying men heard the roll
CALL and seeing the brave boy beating so fu-
rously and rcsolntely with his face to the APP
preaching enemy, began falling into line, and
soon nearly all OF them we're In battle order
and blazing away at the coming rebels. The
drum, however, could still be heard above the
din and rattle Of the musketry. We discharg-
ed our rcvolvers at the enemy across the corn
er of the field fence, and the fire Of our now
rallied escort was 50 hot and effective that the
rebels soon retreated and ran into the timber
Of sight, leaving many dead and wounded. I
ode up to the little drummer boy, and, pat
ting him on the head, told him he ought to
have captains commission, for he. by his
GOODNESS and courage, had stopped the panic
and saved the train from capture. Well,
said he, 'the long roll will stop panic if any
thing will. f"

THE EARTH's DASeER.--in the preface to
his recent excellent book, The Abode Of
Snow" Andrew Wilson, well known as the
author Of one of the most interesting works
on the Chinese Empire reviyes the ED theory
of NJ. Adhemar that the earth will topple over
one of these days and send the oceans sweep
ing over the continents. The theory is that
owing to the greater preponderance OF water
in the Southern Hemisphere, the greatest ac-
cumulation OF water is round the South Pole !;
when the accumulation has reached certain
point the balance Of the earth must be sud-
denly destroyed--the centre Of spi'ericity alb
rup ~ change far from, tho centre Of gravity,
and the whole earth almost insta.,'aneously
must turn transversely on its axis. move the
great oceans, and 80 produce sone q these
grand catarlysus which have before now al
tered the whole face Of the globe.

The telegraphic columns of the
Times have already. mentioned the
fact that at Lancaster, o., on the 9th
while Republicans were raising
Hayes and Wheeler pole, the ropes
gave way, and the pole fell, killing
three men and wounding several
others. The men killed were among
the most cstimablc in town, being
Charles Drinkle, a young and prom
Using lawyer, and George Funk and
Charles Hoffman, respectable citizens
of middle age. A dozen other gem
tlemen and several ladies were SER
iously wounded by being struck with
the falling pole. This was bad
enough, and caused great commo-
ton in the village; but the excite
ment grew into white heat when ii
was discovered, in the clear light of
next morning, that the falling Of the
pole had been occasioned by the cut
ting Of the ropes nearly through so
that they should give way when the
strongest strain should come upon
them. Two persons have been ar
rested, who were seen i'm the vicinity
i'm the dusk Of the evening preceding
the accident, and ono of whom, ac-
cording to the testimony offs trust

That ExpIosion.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-Thc explo-

Newton, engineer in charge, says
there will be no commotion of the

Newton compliments the citizens Of
Astoria on their fortitude despite the
attempts of poltroons TO make a pam

people of Astoria propose to make

The mastcrly speech of Hon. Geo.
w. McCrary, member of Congress
from the First Iowa Congressional
District found in to-day's COURIER.
Mr.. McCrary is among the half
dozen ablest and leading members of
Congress, not having superior in
point OF solid ability and general in
formation on either floor of Congress.
He has lived from his infancy in
Iowa, and no man has ever cast the
slightest breath Of suspicion upon his
word or character. Serving now with
distinguished credit at the close of
eight years of service on the floor Of

q man to much weight among his fel-
low citizens without respect to party.
We again commend his speech to

A Horrible Murder.

ATcHIsoN, Kansas, Sept. 19.-Ine
Daily Champion has an account Of q
horrible murder perpetrated near
Sterling, Rice county, early on the
morning of the 18th inst. That
morning q man named Patton, APP
peared in Sterling, covered with
blood, with bullet hole through the
back of his head and another through
his upper lip. His story is substan-
TALLY that he ard a companion NAM
ed Douglass were arrested for horse
stealing and were enroute from
Wichita to Great Bend in charge Of
deputized officers. They were laying
in wagon shackled together, and
one officer was riding on horseback
behind. AT about sunrise on Mon
day, one of the officers rode up and
shot Patton through the back Of the
head. Douglass jumped up, and
begging for his life, was shot through
the right temple, killing him Instant
ly. Their bodies were then thrown
out of the wagon. Seeing that Pat
ton breathed, another shot was fired
at him, the ball passing through his
lip. The bodies were then dragged
towards the Arkansas river, about
two hundred yards, and the murder
ers departed. Patton, who still sur
vived, waded the Arkansas river and
made his appearance at Sterling.
Patton was completelyexhausted from
loss of blood, and lies in very criti-
cal condition. The authorities of
Wichita and Great Bend have been
tclegraphed to. Patton's story is that
he belonged to gang of horse thieves
and peached on them, and that the
man who shot him was the captain of

Midnight Assassins in South
Carolina.

From the Laurensville (S.C,) Herald. Sept. 4.
AZariah Butler, colored man,
lived in the neighborhood of Tnmb-
ling, Shoals, in this county. His fam
lily consisted of himself, his wife and
two children. On Friday night, be-
tween the hours of IL and l, a party
of six men entered his house, took
him by force into the yard and shot
him to death. So close were the
of the guns to the body of
the victim, that Buffers clothing took
fire from the blaze of the guus.
These six men were not disguised,
they attempted no concealment, and
Buffers wife saw each of them but
failed TO recognize any one of them.
They were strangers. Such, too, is
the opinion of the good people living
in that vicinity-a community as
much noted for its good order and
love of peace as can anywhere be
found. We understand that the
opinion prevailed that Butler was
connected with the murder of John
Kellett, which occurred in this coun-
ty some six months ago. But grant
ing this to be true, ii in no manner
justities the course of these midnight
assassins. II is believed that Butler
was killed by what is known as ''Kel-
let's gang"-a band of men said to
have been organized by Kellett, but
who compose this band is unknown
TO the public.
On the same night, between the
hours of 10 and IL, acts of violence
were committed on the plantation OF
Mr.. Hewlett Sullivan. A band OF
men came to the house of Wesley
Sullivan. They found the door bar
red, forced an entrance and entered
firing pistols. Wesley made his es-
cape by raising a plank in the floor
ing of his house, but q ball struck his
wife in the arm. We understand
that other houses were visited the
same night, but the men happened tc
be absent. A certain man on the
morning before the murder called al
Buffers house and told him to be on
his guard, that danger would ap'
proach him that night. This same
man went to Sullivan's plantation
and to other houses that were visited
by the outlaws, and gave the same
information. If this be SO, il woul(
be well for that man to receive som,
attention. He knows too much no
to know more.
