Within forest. as I strayod
Far down sonber autumn glade,
found the god of love:
His bow and Srrows cast aside.
His lovely arms extended wide,
A depth Of leaves above,
Between o'ersrching boughs he made
place for sleep in russei shade.
His lips, more rod than any rose,
Were like a flower that overhovs
With honey pure and sweet;
And, clustering round that tender mouth
The golden heos in eager drouth
Piled busy wings and feet;
They knew, as every lover Knows
There's no such honey bloom that blows

More Railroad Slaughter.

About o'clock Wednesday morning
an accident, caused by the washing out
of bridge, occurred on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad at the
east branch of Four-Mile Creek, seven
miles from Des Moines, Iowa. When
the train struck the bridge all but the
sleeping car went down into the stream,
the engine disappearing entirely from
sight. Barnum's show car went down
among the rest and its occupants, eleven
in number, are believed to have all
been killed but one. Up to an early
hour this morning eighteen had been
taken from the wreck, and seventeen
injured persons extricated from the
debris. The latter were sent to Altoona,
while the bodies of the dead were taken
to Des Moines. The creek is twenty
feet deep in the channel, and a number
Of bodies are supposed to have floated
down the stream. Three of the cars
were SO firmly telescoped together that
it was found impossible to pry them
apart even with block and tackle.

Potter, real estate agent, aged thirty
three years, who resides with his aged
father and stepmother at No. 697 Butler
street, yesterday morning plucked some
flowers from his garden and arranging
them in emblematic form went to the
residence of John Freeman, No. 635 But
Ter street, for the purpose of placing
them on the coffin which contained the
remains of his (Mr. Freeman's) child
When Mr.. Potter entered the room in
which the body lay he passed a number
of mourning relatives and approached
the coffin with the flowers in his hand.
Passing them to lady to place on
the dead child, he suddenly became faint
and to the horror of the spectators fell
dead on the floor. Verdict of the cor
oner's jury, death from organic heart
disease. i.

A Brute skinned Alive.

The Mayfield (Ky.) Democrat says !:
Several weeks ago an eleven-year-old
daughter of Ballard county farmer
mysteriously disappeared, and all efforts
to find her whereabouts were fruitless
until ten days after her disappearance
when neighboring farmer, while out
searching for his COW, heard the cries as
of some one in distress, and following
the direction Of the sound found the lost
child in dense ticket with both hands
tied together with rope, one end of
which was tied to tree. Near the tree
were some old clothes upon which The
child slept. The farmer inquired Of the
child how she happened to be there in
that condition, when she told him that
negro man had brought her there and
that he came there every night and
brought her something to eat and drink,
and that he violated her person. The
farmer told the child to remain quiet
until night, and he would procure assis-
tance, and when the negro came back
that night they would secure him, which
they did. When the girl was asked
what must be done with him she said
"skin him alive" (which they proceeded
to do Immediately. They commenced
at the crown of his head and stripped
the skin to his feet. He only survived
about five minutes after the operation.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August Goth, 1877.
When the regular army of the country
was organized, after the war, Congress
provided that regiments, two of infantry
and two Of cavalry, should be composed
exclusively of colored men. Repeated eff
forts have since been made for the dis
banding of these regiments and the distri-
button of the coioTsd soldiers throughout
all branches of the military service, but
without avail and the matter has of late
been brought prominently to the notice of
the President and Secretary of War, Nc
Crary. Although there is no existing law
prohibiting the assignment of colored
recruits to any regiment in the service, yet
it has always been the practice to assign
them to the original colored regiments.
The complaints now being made are made
by the white officers of these regiments
and are well worthy of attention. Because
the colored men are less susceptible to the
evil effects of the extreme heat, these regi-
ments have been continually kept on duty
along the Rio Grande, from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific, while other regi-
ments are transferred from one post to
another every two or three years, and are
thus able to enjoy the advantages of civili-
zation a portion Of the time at least. On
the other hand those four colored regi-
mepts, with their white officers, of course,
have been completely exiled for the last
ten or twelve years, with no change from
the unciyilized and unhealthy locations
where they are stationed, their families
debarred from all social and educational
conyeniences and comforts, debilitated in
health and with absolutely no privileges
Many good officers have resigned for these
reasons very naturally.

tion is relative to the Indians.

considered himself sure Of the chair. He
has come out In strong favor of the Texas
Pacific Railroad scheme and Of Govern
ment and for the leveling Of the Mis-

posed to "saddle upon the country anoth-

eB-A madman, almost starved was
discovered in box car on the Western
bound freight train at Goshen, Ind, last
week. He was crouched at one corner of
the car, stark naked, grinning hideously at
passers-by. The lunatic was taken in
charge by the proper authorities. Where
he came from and how long he had trav-
eled In that condition remains mystery.
fB- While train ON the Michigan
Southern was approaching Abronia near
Alegan, few days ago, the engineer saw
a woman about midway Of tho railroad
bridge, but was too close upon her to stop.
She took in the situation, and got down on

and lay there until the train had passed,
the car tops just brushing her clothing.

Ng- The unusual scene of three hod car
riers in a fierce fight on top of three

GB- A party of emigrants from Ohio,
named Wilson, en- route in wagon to
Kansas, met with sad accident miles
from Fort Wayne few days since. Their

their five year old son.
Gsy- One man was killed and ano ther was
seriously injured by freight train running
into the sleeping car of passenger train

in displaying the wrong light.
GEE Some time ago an aged man who
had lost his wife came into our sanctum,
and with tears standing in his eyes, eulo-
gized the memory of the deceased, and
asked us record the death in our next

about it, make an item about one of my
Brahma hens laying an egg, measuring
seven and quarter by eight and three

suddenly our thoughts of sympathy were

and could give no reason for the rash
deed. Both victims were highly respect
