''Sing the Dear Old Song
Again.S

Haverly's Mastodon Ministries
were playing in London, and were
softly singing one night to a crowd
ed house the chorus in ''Old Ken
tucky Home" When the last
notes melted away a strange-look-
ing figure advanced a few steps
from his seat in a dark corner of
pit, and the aud tors were startled
at hearing "a voice say earnestly
and distinctly: Sing The dear
old song again sing il for ne.
Pm listening hard and Pm listen
ing low, boys, and every word is
a friend to me, home TO me
everything Say, will you sing it
just once more for me, right now
and here?" 1T was the figure and
voice Of Ben Leland, an old min
strei, who left this country sever
al years ago, and after playing in
Australia, made his way,a broken
down old man, to London.
Here he supported himself by
playing the banjo, but eked out a
miserable existence. The Masto-
dons sang the chorus again, and
the figure sank back into its seat.
When the audience dispersed it
remained mo ionless, and when
an attendent caue to arouse it, he
found Ben Leland dead.-Ir0y

A Forgotten Hero.

An ancient tomb, "moSsed with
age" lies unnoticed and forgotten,
on the bank of the Opequon in the
county of Clarke. 1t covers the
spot where seventy years ago, the
mortal remains of a gallant Revolu-
tionary officer were laid to rest; and
but for the memorial stone, his name
would be blotted out from the men,
DRY of man. The massive slab is
entire, and the inscription perfectly
legible. 1t reads as follows:
Here lies the body of
MAJOR LAWRENCE BUTLER,
who departed this life on the
4th of May, 1911, in the
seth year of his age.
In his whole life he was distin-
guished for his philanthropy,
integrity, and an ardent
patriotism.
During the entire period of the
Revolutionary War, he held com
missions IN the army of the United
States, and was an intrepid and act
i've defender of his country's rights,
until he became a prisoner at the
memorable siege and capitulation of
Charleston, in South Carolina.
Subsequent to the treaty of peace
with Great Britain, he returned to
the tranquil walks Of private life,
where until the end of his we'll spent
term, he enjoyed the blessings of
that independence which his valor
had contributed to procure for his
country, the esteem and love of all
good men who knew him, and what
afforded him a rich satisfaction, the
good opinion and sincere regard Of
the immortal Washington.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the name of one of the men
soon to be hanged in St. Mary parish for
tho murder Of D. Larmand on the Fuse
lier Home plantation, Terence Achille
to-wit, is identical with one Of the names
by which Terence Babin, the murderer
of Perique As!sman and Frank Causin of
this parish, was sometimes known. In
fact, Terence Achille was the rightful
name Of the Ascension murderer, as his
father was q white man named Achille,
though lie was generally called Babin
after the present husband of his mother.

The United States Congress convened
in regular session at Washington on
Monday last. The assembling Of the
Senate attracted comparatively little
notice, as it was understood no effort
would be made to elect new officers or
change the existing status of committees
in that body. Public interest conferred
in the proceedings of the popular branch
Of the national assembly, which was
about to pass again under the control OF
the Republican party.
Congressman Keifer of Ohio, the Re-
publican caucus nominee, was elected
Speaker OH the first ballot, receiving 146
votes against 129 for Randall, Democrat,
and 8 for Ford, Greenbacker. After
some skirmishing on the subject of
allowing several members whose seats
are contested to be sworn in, the objec
lions were all withdrawn and the House
completed its organization by electing
Mcpherson Of Pennsylvania as Chief
Clerk, Hooker, Brownlow and Sherwood
as sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper and
Postmaster respectively, and Rev. F. D.
Powers OF Washington as Chaplain. The
Speaker is making up the list Of standing
committees and until this is completed
and announced no business of moment
will be transacted by the House.
Congress will soon adjourn for the
holidays, and it is probable nothing of
interest will DO done until after the
recess.

A woman has been convicted Of bigamy

A woman has been convicted Of bigamy
in the parish Of st. Helena under peculiar
circumstances. Her first husband ill
treated her to a shameful degree and
finally drove her from his house. Being
ignorant of the laws regulating marriage
she welded another man, whereupon
husband No. l sued for and obtained a
divorce, then had the woman indicted
for bigamy. She was convicted, but the
sympathies of the court were aroused in
her behalf and she received the light
sentence of twenty-ono days imprison-
ment in the parish Jail.
