NoTE Gea Robert B Vance ha, writ
ten some line, upon this incident, that are
going the TO Inis of the pen" He ha,
written a good many s,anzas on various sub
jects. l see them in nearly every autograph
album that Is brought to me for signature !:
The snow-white robe was placed upon
The malden's 1.-the and graceful form
Aud near her stood the gallant one
Who won her In the battle storm;
SO proud his glance, so glad her smile,
With happy friends beside them,
1t seemed hat earth, or earthly guile,
Might meier again divide them.
Dear maiden art thou ready now -
Thus gently spoke the man of God.
The blushing cheek, the calm-sweet brow,
Proclaimed the power of Cupid's rod.
But oh there's naueht on earth secure
Fen love itself is sad and brief;
The bright young life, the good and pure
Are dying like the autumn leaf.
1.-THE missile dread, rushed through the air
1t burst upon the peaceful scene;
The lovely girl, SO brave, SO fair
Showed death upon her virgin mien !;
And while with sobs the rites were spoke,
That he his bride might there possess
She struggled ere her spirit broke.
And cen i'll dying, answered 'yes.'
Many a story writ In gold
OF wi,hered hopes and broken bliss;
But bard nor minstrel e'er hath told
A nobler, sadder ore than this.
Then strike the Tyres most mournful strings,
To music's soft and soothing tone
Let sorrow ope her Christening wings,
For her that's gone and him that's lone.
"Oh daughters of the dear Southland!
Embalm with tears your sistet fate;
Twill whso her soldier husbands brand,
And soften. too, his bitter hate /;
For surely on the red dun field,
Though cannon sweep the plain with fire,
Her Angel soul will be bis shield
And lnercy's smile will change his ire.

A CLERGYMAN CRAZED BY LOVE.

A CLERGYMAN CRAZED BY LOVE. Read
ing Pa, October ID. The Rev. Jas. T.
Schultz was tins morning taken to the asy-
lum in Norristown. The death Of Miss
Lsinbach, had much more to do with his
loss of reason than was at first supposed.
Prior to the intern ent of the young lacy.
MIR. Schultz entered the chamber in which
she was laid Out. and grasping heT hand
fervently kissed it.
"She is not dead" said the maniac min
lister; ''see she is not dead she has resu
rected," he exclaimed, at the same time car
essing her head by gently stroking back her
wavy hair.
Friends took him away with great difficult
ty, and he was urged to go to his boarding
house. Instead of that he went to the res
ldence of another young lady, friend, and We
hemently urged all the inmates of the house
to prepare themselves as the day of resurec
ton had come. and that his dead friend,
Miss Lienbach, lac been resurected He
then vent to his boarding house and turned
on the gas at every burner. When remon-
strated with. he became very angry. One
after another of the articles of furniture in
the parlor be demolished. Oil paintings
we're torn into shrsd., two mirrors were
smashed, and the house turned topsy-turuy.
Then he ran into the street and knocked
down and injured five persons. The sixth
person be attacked knocked bim in the gut
ter. He was very badly injured. and re
manned unconscious until Sunday. At brief
intervals of apparent sanity he summoned
the inmates Of the house, with number Of
visiting ministers, to stand around his bed,
and told them that the day of his resurec-
tion.had come, because the lady he so much
admired had been resurected. He did not
refer to the resurrection of Miss Lienbach
when he preached her funeral sermon or
Friday last. Mr.. Schultz in the discourage
spoke of the pleasure of carriage driving
with ladies an / their excellent company, of
love stories, and other matters foreign to
funeral discourses. He was not interrupted
until many of the friends and mOurners had
become alarmed at his nonsensical remarks.
Yesterday all the Reformed clergymen IN
the city assembled in his rooms, and it was
decided to have him sent 20 the asylum for
treatment.

THE New YORK DEMOCRATS CLOSE UP
THEIR RANKS, AND ASSURE 10000 MAJOR
ITY.-While a prisoner of war in Fort Della
ware we made the acquaintance of Capt.
John r. Fellowes, Chen of an Arkansas
Rebel Regiment). who has since arisen to
fame and riches in New York City,
holding the office Of corporation coun-
sci, and other important positions: The
following incident from the Philadelphia
Record of Thursday last will be of interest:
1.-The Democrats had a large mass meeting
on Saturday night last in front of the Amer
icus Club House, on Broad Street.
The concluding speech was made by Col.
John r. F~ellowes, of New York. AS he
the remark: That's the man who shook
hands with John Kelly!" MIR. Fellowes'
remarks were important, because he spoke
officially concerning the statement that John
Kelly was likely to sell out the Democracy
in New York.
Mr.. Fellowes said "Mr. Kelly and l, who
had not been political friends for nine years,
clasped hands at Cincinnati, and only yes
terday l repeated that ceremony with MIR:
Kelly. We arranged a union, close and
complete. and there will be but one ticket IN
New York. On Monday next, at 3 o'clock,
the result will be flashed across the wires.
You know what a united Democracy in New
York means. | promise you Democrats OF
Philadelphia that there will not be enough
Republicans left in New York on the I'd
Of November to make an infr mar corps tor
the Republicans"
ConGrmatory of these u~tterances we find
in the Wilmington Star a telegram to Mr.
w. H. Bernard from John Kelly, the Tam
many Chief, as follows:
II have been absent, or would have re
Piled sooner. l do not bet. If did, would
wager on New York and New Jersey for
Hancock and English. The vote here will
exceed that of 1876 by thirty Thousand. Our
majority will increase over that year pro-
portionately."

NoTE. Capt. j. b. Lindsay, of Arson,
some time ago wrote for the WadesbOro
Herald a sketch Of his sufferings on Morris
Island and Fort Pulaski. | quote an ex-
tract -
Il am unable to conceive there ever were
a mum Der of human beings held in greater
subsection to the will of their masters, than
the Confederate officers confined in this
prison, under these vile wretches. Deviltry in
every act was exhibited towards US; al
though the prisoners had a mutual under
standing to use the greatest precaution,
and avoid giving the slightest cause for
these fellows to crafty their murderous de
slres. The Smelling continued night and
day, throughout the whole time of our inn
prisonment. The we'll aimed shells from
our batteries were of constant annoyance 20
the yankees, and often demoralizing. Not
a day or night passed by without a number
OF them being killed, and too much praise
cannot be awarded our batteries, for the
unprecedented accuracy in throwing their
shot and shells in to the enemies works on
either side of our prison. However, many
shells exploded in and about the pen:
A severe trial was the manner in which
~rations were issued. An ~insolent and filthy
negro issued, with his own hands. to each
prisoner two crackers and less than two
ounces of rancid bacon, ard about a halt
pint of Stops called soup. The stuff was
thickened with meal which contained my.
riads of small white worms. These natural
~ sank to the bottom of the kettle, but this
black imp would stir 1t up with his hand
often Ptuaguag his arm up to the ebOU in The
soup, which was afterwards measured out
10 the Confederate officers, by the same
skunk. This often occurred in the presence
of the officials in charge of the prison.
The prisoners at first refused the soup,
but were driven, by hunger. to devour al
that this dirty negro would allow them.
Lieutenant B of Charleston, receiving
his half pint Of soup, sat Town and under
took to pick out and count the worms il
contained, and having counted two hundred
and twenty seven, quit in disgust, declaring
that it he carried out the project Their
would be very little soup left, so he shut his
eyes and drank such as remained"

New USE OF THE COTToN PLANT. Mr..
John kirkpatrick, a few days ago with a
strong piece of twine, about the size used
for tieing up parcels of goods. This Irvine
was made from the fibre of the cotton stalk
bark. The stalk was immersed in water
and woody portion thus rotted out, leaving
the fibre. Its strength is undeniable, if this
can be taken as a fair sample. The stalks
should be gathered for this purpose before
frost falls on the plant. Much has been said
about jute and its adaptability to our soil
and climate. Would not the cotton stalk
answer it's place? Mr. K. is of the opinion
that ropes, strings and all sorts of bagging
can be successfully manufactured from the
cotton bark fibre, and we see no reason to
doubt it. The variety Of the cotson plant is
something marvellous. Fayetteville Exam
