The WATERMELON TRADE. - For some
days past watermelons have been offered
in this market, but they have been of very
poor quality. They were tough and of un-
natural flavor. These melons were grown
in the lower part of the Peninsula, and sub
jected to trick equal to Yankee shrewd-
ness. 1t is not new thing, however, but
of annual occurrence. In order to get their
melons into market early the growers cut
the underneath part Of the vine, near the
melon, half in twain. This deadens the
vitality of the vino, and permits its fruitage
to ripen permaturely with the result stated.
This is the character of the melons which
have been Offering in market. This morn
ing, however, the advance OF the jersey
crop appeared, and Todd, Welsh q Co.
also received a vessel load of 1900 fully
ripe melons from Wicomico county.

Tall OF THE E'RONIIER.

TLere had been a murder at Red
Fox Run, one Of the tributaries Of the
Smoky Hill River. in Western Kan
sas.
\ murder was not novel thing in
those days, for Of the eighteen men
sleeping in the unfenced graveyard
on top of the uodulating right bank
of Red Fox Run, not one Of them had
died natural death. Eleven had
been killed in the summer Of q, by
the combined baud Of Santanter and
Roman Nose, when all the tribes on
the plains united against the whites.
Four had been killed in bar-room
rows, one in a duel /, and two by Wild
! Horse SMitn, one of the most noted
desperaloes that had ever come to
Red Fox.
But Wild Horse Smith was tried
BY a jury each time, at but few
hours after the crimes, and it was
proved to the satisfaction of his peers
that the dead men pulled first, but
Smith, with bis usual luck and dex.
terity, got in the first shot.
In view Of these facts, no jury Of
that kind, and in that day, could do
otherwise than to bring in verdict
of justiiiable homicide, so Wild Horse
Smith was acquitted and became the
model Of the many bad men, and the
terror Of the few good ones.
lie was tall, bony man Of thirty
FIVE, with gray eyes, long, dark hair,
and long, leathery cheeks, as devoid
Of beard as the plains about Red Fox
Run was of trees.
Four or five families had moved in-
to this part Of the State to farm in the
rich bottom. Among them was Zach
airy Bowman, who had a family con-
sisting of his wife and five children,
the oldest, Sarah, handsome, healthy
looking girl Of twenty.
As there were very few young la
dies in Red Fox compared to the num-
Der of men, and as there was not one
who at all equalled Sarah Bowman
N personal charms, she at once be-
come the belle of the settlement, and
was besieged by a dozen manageable
men, among whom Wild Horse Smith
stood first-in his own opinion.
There was another young man,
named Henzy, who was very devoted

There was ring Of command in

Then Sarah Bowman told how she

she saw Henry and Frank Cotton
shaking hands when they parted; and
then that Wild Horse Smith rode
down ravine, out Of Henzy's sight,
soon after which she heard three
shots, and then saw Smith galloping
away as if in pursuit of Cotton.
"Wnd Horse Smith is the only
man in this part of the country who

The shells were passed from hand

4 HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.

BY MRS. NJ. Z. CARMICHAEL.
A hundred years from hence,
And we shall all be dust,
Our very names in silence lie,
Undiscovered with the rust;
OF tender memories all dead,
From lips that smil'd, or hearts that bled
A hundred years from hence
This world may be the same,
But gone the human hearts
Now keen to praise or blame;
The breathing millions of to-day
Will have forever passed away.
A hundred years from hence
In friendly grave we'll sleep;
Our titles cen unknown,
Unless by hearts that keep,
Loves vigil DER the dear ones name,
Though dead unto the worlds small fame
A hundred years from hence
The light Of other eyes
Must flash on faces, that to those
Who love is paradise.
Sweet voices their affections sing,
Where now our own glad accents ring.
A hundred years from hence,
The world in glory still,
viii change in season just as now;
And every ripping ri!.
Sparkling through the solemn wood,
Still gaily sing that God is good.
4 hundred years from hence,
The same fair moon will beam,
And throw abroad her silver ray
Ger landscape and DER stream;
The same grand sun in Splcudor blaze,
Filling with glory the glad days.
\ hundred years from hence
Sweet flowers still will bloom,
And drop their perfumes rich
Above each lJncly tomb;
Or wave their cOlors in the air,
AS they praise god everywhere.
4 hundred years from hence
God bless carths teeming throng
OF millions WHO shall live.
And sing their lives short song;
For death that shall our bodies slay,
viii in their turn bear them away.
A hundred years from hence
We hope in Heaven to be,
Before the throne of Cod
Beside the jasper sea
Forever in those rclms Of light
Forever safe from sorrows night.
