For the crr1zrN.
To Miss Lizzie R

Ye men of Giles, beware of wiles
That can all hearts disarm,
Or you'll be won by this fair one
Who can most sweetly charm
This lovely being, very queen,
Whose praises I'm indihng,
has charms so fair and gifts SO rare,
They can't be told by writing.
Tho you should dream oflove's BRIGHT beam
And ieel its sweetest trancss,
You could not tell each magic spell
Her beauty that enhances.
The charms, the grace, the lovely face,
The elegance Of form,
The light that lies within her eyes,
Must take all hearts by storm.
Those charms, that grace, within that face
Are all the time appearing;
And if peTchanee you steal glance,
That glance is most endearing.
Those loving eyes take by surprise;
All, fatal are their glances,
Tho sweet their glow too late you'll know
They are pair of lances.
Their light so smiles their look beguiles
The very soul with feeling;
So sweet they beam, so bright they CLEAN,
Their love and light revealing.
And they appear so full Of cheer,
Indeed they're so beguiing,
Tho Joys be briet by heightened grief
That grief viii 60 exiling.
If e'er it be your lot to see,
You'll say that I'm not Wanting,
The more you gaze, the more youth praise
Her beauty so enchanting.
lfyOu don mind you'll surely indi
Yourself so much enraptuTed,
Before you part she II have your heart
Both conquered and quito captured.
| Tho ne'er before you did adore;
Her charms are so divine,
/ You'll feel the smart of Cupid's dalt,
And boU at Beauty's shrine.
And when you bow you'll madly vow,
To that sweet angel there,
/ By all above, that you will love
| The good, the wise, the fair. NJ. d.

METHODIST FRATERNITY.
Some Mistaken Notions about
the Plan of the joint
Commission.
The Nashville Christian Advoca

The Nashville Christian Advocate.
organ of the NJ. E. Church, South.
says in its issue this week:
The plan of Fraternity agreed
upon by the joint commission, as
might have been expected, is vari
ously understood or misunderstood,
commended or censured. The
Richmond Dispatch has been pub
fishing some articles severely criti-
cising and others highly approving
the Plan. We hope there will be
no controversies about it in any of
-our church papers. Many of our
friends of the secular press persist
in blundering about it. For THEN
behoof-if they please-and for that
of others, we simply state:
l. The Plan of Fraternity was
not designed to supercede the Plan
of Separation. Indeed, it recog
nizes everything in that Plan, ex
cept the boundary line between the
two connections, with which the
commissioners did not feel at liber-
ty to meddle. But if all the rest is
carried out in good faith the other
may be recognized in due time.
2. The Plan of Fraternity was
not designed to effect organic un-
ion. If any such utopian scheme
had been proposed at our General
Conference no commissioners would
have been appointed. Our North
ern brethren have manifested no
intention to retract from their nov
el view of Episcopacy-viz., that it
is the creature of the delegated
general Conference, whereas we
hold it to be of co ordinate rank,
not to be set aside or essentially
changed, except by a convention OF
the whole church called for the
purpose. We are as much as ever
welded to the episcopacy as we re-
ceived it from our fathers, and to
the preaiiing eldership which de
pends on it, whereas our Northern
brethren have been getting farther
and father away from these old
/ landmarks. We do not say this by
, way of censure, but merely to show
| that an organic union Is out of the
question. There are other points
5 of difference, as the change in the
= conditions Of church membership
t ETC., together with the prodigious
z growth of the church, which make
organic union not only undesirable
but also impossible. Let nothing
more be said on that point.
5 3. The plan of Fraternity is in
tended to be a finality, so far as th'
points agreed upon are concerned
We expect to keep it in good faith
2 as we did the Plan of Separation
+ But we are not sure that the North
5 ern General Conference so intended
i or, if it did, that its successor il
t 1880 will be bound by it. We ar
reminded of 1874 and 1S48 B
y this as it may, we hope our breth
+ ren everywhere will abide by tn
It Plan, and scrupulously carry on
: all its provisions. They do not in
d volve anything which would be Of
fensive to them, such as would tax
place if they were organic unior
d 1t is not necessary, in this irenie al
n ticle, to be more explicit, We wan
is peace-at least an armistice, will
e out limitation of time.

That Gov. Hayes is very fine
orator there can be no doubt-al-
most as fine as President, Grant
himself. A military company called
upon him the other day, and he
made them a nice little speech. Here
it is:
Comrades and veterans, you
called to see me because / am Gov
ernor of the State where your home
is. and because 1 served in the war.
Beyond the idea suggested III those
facts CAN NOT, MUST NOT GO.
No citizen can look upon this COM
pany and remember what it has
done without very strong emotion.

New York Tribune: The way in
which the war order of the Presi-
dent and his Secretary has been re-
ceived is highly encouraging
Generally speaking, it has wen the
decided appreciation of nobody.
On the other hand, it has aroused
the decided disapprobation of many
who have long been defenders Of
the Administration. Upon the
whole, we are inclined to think that
contempt is the prevalent sentiment
which it has awakened. The
Charleston Is. O. Journal of Com
merce calls it "a game of bluff. +"
Calculated to do more harm than
good" says the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser. Here are opinions from
botn ends Of the Union, and they
are fair samples of the universal
comment. 1T the order could be en-
forced it would be mischievous;
considering the military resources
Of the Government, it is most ride
ulous. Not so, however, the blum
dering aRiHRs Of the order. That
is q serious matter, or would be II
the White House were not about TO
change its tenant and the War
Department its Secretary.

Watching for the Railroad
King to Die.

Vanderbilt is gradually rising
again into life. 1t begins to look
as if he might go out, and even per
haps resume control of his great
railroads. What a lark it would be
if the Commodore, on whose death
brokers have been gambling for
months, should turn the tables and
once more put his hook into the
jaws of that Wall street behemoth!
The newspapers, by the way, are
getting very tired of keeping the old
mans obituary in type, and they
are becoming still more tired Of
keeping brigade of futile reporters
around his house. The Vanderbilt
illness will cost almost as muc9 as
the Beecher trial. Every morning
paper in New York employs three
reporters whose exclusive business
it is to "do" Vanderbilt. They
serve in relays of eight hours each,
and one for each paper is constantly
on guard. There are some fifteen
at a time in the aggregate. At first
they hung around the front gate
questioning the doctors, visitors and
servants, interviewed the butcher
baker, candlestick- maker and 9th
ers, or climbed the lamp-post in vi
vacious rivalry and obtained furtivC
giimpses through the blind when ;

THE SCOUTS ESCAPE.

The night after the massacre the
Indians were wild with delight
Many were drunk on whisky stolen
from the whites, and the squaws
performed duty as guards for the
prisoners. Becoming drowsy, Ridge
ly and two companions escaped, Sc
cured ponies and began a long jour
ney homeward. The party ate
game and laid in the woods four
days to avoid the Indians. On the
way his horse stumbled, and Ridge
Tvs arm was broken, but the party
finally reached Fort Abercrombie,
and thence Ridgely came here. He
describes Sitting Bull as a half
breed, Of large size, very intelligent,
with a peculiar gait.

The Democrats have cheated the
Cherokee Indians. That's what the
Republicans say. II is true the
sbloody Indians" have been driven
from their hunting grounds a few
times within the past two hundred
Snd fifty years, and there have been
some other irregularities in the
treatment they have received; but
these matters do not form issues in
this campaign. They are lost in
the more important question: How
has the Republican party treated
the whites ever since it came into
power? Cufy has been the object
of its especial interest, and now Lo
comes in for a share of it. The Re
publicans don't seem to ike the

THE sAVAGEs.
A Captured Trapper's Tale of
Custur's Massacre.
CusTERs, LAsT FIGHT.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. THE Pio
neer Press and Tribune will to-mor-
morrow publish an interview with
an old trapper, named Ridgely, who
has been for long time in the Yel-
lowstone country, and claims to
have witnessed the Custer massacre,
being a prisoner in Sitting Bulls
camp. Previous to Clusters attacks
mounted couriers from Sitting
Bulls camp for eight days watched
his forces, its division into small
detachmenls being noted with de
light. Ambuscades were immedi-
ately prepared, while the Indians
stood ready for attack Many Of
them clambered on the side of the
hill overlooking Clusters line of
march. The Indian camp was di-
vided by the bluff, a point of which
ran toward the Rosebud and in the
direction of one of the available
fords on the river to the camp.
THE AMBUSH.
BY this ford Custer followed their
trail down to the waters edge
There were but twenty-five teepes
visible to Custer, but there were
seventy five double teepes behind
the bluff not visible. Custer at
tackled the smaller village, and was
Immediately met by 1900 or 1000
Indians in regular order of battle.
Every movement was made with
nilitary precision. Ridgely says
that he stood on the side of the hill.
Gen. Custer began the fight in a
ravine near the ford, and fully half
of his command seemed to be killed
at the first fire. The soldiers re-
treated towards the rear and were
shot down with astonishing rapidity,
the commanding officer falling from
his horse in the middle of the en-
gagement, which commenced at II
A. NJ, and did not last more than Al
minutes.

HORRIBLE ToRTUREs.

After the massacre of Clusters
force, the Indians returned to camp
with six soliers and delirious with
joy over their success. These six
were tied to stakes and were burned
to death. While the flames were
torturing them to death, the boys
fired red hot arrows into their quiv-
ering flesh. Sitting Bull was met
after the fight, and he exultingly
remarked that she had killed many
soldiers and one damned General,
but did not know who he was"
The Squaws then armed themselves
with knives and visited the battle
field, numbering and robbing.
RENo's ATTACK.
While these soldiers were being
burned, the Indians turned their at
tention to the forces-likely Reno's
who were attacking the lower end
of the village. Ridgely says that
Clusters command had been slaugh-
tered before shot was fired by
Reno's force attacking the lower
end of the camp, which was about
P. NJ. They returned in the eve
ming, and said that the men had
fought like the. devil, but Ridgely
says they did not state their losses.
They said that the soldiers had
been driven back twice and then
piled up stones and the attack was
unsuccessful. The prisoners were
kept burning over an hour, but
Ridgely was not permitted to speak
with them, so he is unable to state
who they were. One was noticea-

and whiskers.

fight, and two captains, believed
