Love on a Creeping Vine.

banDury NeWs.l
An exceedingly painful affair trans.
pired in Brookfeld the other day. A
young man and a young woman, whose
hearts are bound to each other in the
sweet, tender ties of mutual affection
were out strolling on one of the fine
evenings We had last week. Coming
to grassy bank from which the
Valley Of Still-river could be seen.
they sat down and gazed with rapture
on the scene. Then, like two doves
they fell to cooling softly unto each
other, unmindful of the passing time
and ignorant even of the fact that
the bank on which they were rested
was covered with the creeping mer-
curry vine. Their hearts were full as
they sat there. The next day it
seemed as if the contents had gone
into their heads. We love to look
upon the faces Of those dear to us
But they don't. She don't look at
all, in fact, and what little view he gets
OF things generally is through one eve
One OF his ears lay across the other
eye, and the other ear is on the top of
his head, where it stands up like the
comb of rooster. Yesterday morn
ing the swelling in her head had gone
down enough to show her hair-pins
and thirty-fve of them were taken
out.

Another Murderer Dies Hapnr.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, September II.
Robert Lancaster was hung to-day
at Batesville for the murder of Thos
johnson, in Stone county, December
a, 1877, at a country frolic, while in
toxicated, at the johnson House.
Lancaster made his escape to the
woods, and eluded justice for long
time, until in one of his hiding places
in the mountains he accidentally shot
himself in the leg. Gangrene setting
In, he gave himself up, and the leg
was amputated. Venue was changed
to Independence, and he was convicted
of murder at the late July term. He
was escorted to the gallows by the
sheriff and fifty men, and at twenty
nine minutes to o clock paid the pen
atty Of death. In eleven minutes he
was dead. He met his fate brayely,
without the least sign or emotion of
dread. He looked calm and pleasant.
His last words were hopeful. He
asked Sheriff Chase, after the rope
was adjusted how he felt. The sher-
ifs response was: " / feel worse. I
expect, than you.n Lancaster re-
piled =" If you feel as good as | do
you are all right" His last words
before the drop fell were that false
testimony brought him here. This
was to the sheriff after the cap was
placed over his face He forgave all,
as he was forgiven, expressing a will
ingness to meet his God. Rev, Mr..
Brown delivered an eloquent and fer
vent prayer upon the scaffold. His
counsel, General Thompson and j. G.
Yancy, and Rev j O. Brown were on
the scafold with Sheriff Chase. Ian
caster was hurled into eternity in the
presence Of no less than 5000 people.

LATER-Reports from the Under
wood war confirms the shooting of old
George Underwood, who was literally
riddled with rife-ball when he step
ped out of the door of his house,
known as Fort Underwood yesterday
morning. Sixteen shots we're fired at
him simultaneously. six of which pen
etrated his body, and one entering his
forehead, tore his skull all to pieces.
Three balls pierced his breast and one
of them his heart.
This is the ninth murder enacted
on the stage of the Underwood war,
and the Lord only knows how many
more will have to bite the grass, unless
the governor sends the militia out
once more. Nothing but martial law
will re-establish order.

Underwood war is raging more fear

Mr.. John Sherman is conceded the
shrewded man in the cabinet. He is
by far the ablest politician connected
with the Hayes administration.
Hence his views on any phase of the
political situation, from Republican
standpoint, are always worth perusal.
Shermsn has been described as a cold
blooded naa of brains, of the Charles
Francis Adams school. 1t may be 50.
But ask any newspaper man about
Washingtel, whose business has
brought hin in contact with high

tions, and he will Immediately say
