POETRY.
gHE HIGHU1YCOW.

The hue of her hide was dussy brown.
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn turned up and the other turned down.
She was keen OF vision and long Of limb;
With Roman nose and u short stump tail,
And ribs ike the hoops Of a, ,homc-made pail
Many mark did her body bear;
She had been a target Tor all things known;
On many scar the dusSy hair
Would grow no more where it once had
grown;
Many passionate, parting shot
Had lett upon her a lasting spot.
Many and many woll-aimed stone,
Many a brickbat OF goodly size,
and many q cudgel swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears "a her loving eyes;
Or had bounded OF from her bony back,
With the nose like the sound OF riiie crack.
Many day had she passed in the pound
For helping herselftO her neishbors corn;
Many cOwariiy cur and hound
Had been transhXed on her crumpled horn
MANY t. teapot and Old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn tail

When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out OF his growing grain.

She wisely watched him when he went by;
He never passed her without frown
And an evil glance from each angry eyei
He T0Uid crack his whip in surly way
And drive along in his "One-hoss shay.
Then at his homestead she loved tocail
Lifting nis bars with crumpled horn;
Nimbis scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself 10 his standing corn;
EATING his c.5bages, one 10y one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And s;riding forth with a savage cry
With fury blazing from both his eyes,

Association. WHO were anxious to add Il to

George Washington came into possession OF
II. violin Is n follows: When George Wa
living at Mount Vernon he CHARGED to pass
near by the cabin oi an aged negro known
~ the neigi!borhood Is ODD Uncle Ned. The
sound OF sweet music was waited from with
IN the precincts Of the cabin and struck
George as the air Of some familiar melody.
G.orge quietly walked towards that cabin
and entered. The old colored man contin-
ucd his cXcrc Sc on the Vi0iif, ana al d le"
moments, George unable to control the
muscles OF his lower limbs, was engaged in
dancing an old time breakdown, to the a.
musement OF Uncle Ned and several other

George greatly, and upon it, completion he
WAS 50 carried away with ,hc cxcitemcnI o.

George paid the old co.ored man in tobacco
or continental money, but it is to be pre-

A St. Louis Tragedy

Colonel Alonzo w. Slayback. one of the
most prominent attorneys and democratic
politicians OF ST. Louis was killed about
half-past five O'Clock yesterday afternoon by
John Cockcrill, managing editor of the Post
Di$patch, and at one time managing editor
ofthe Baltimore CARTE, The trouble dated
back some time, to an old political antago-
nism. Thursday night at q political meet
ing Colonel Slayback denounced the Post
Dispatch in bitter terms, as an assassin of
private character. Yesterday evening S
edition Of the paper contained an editorial
assault on Colonel Slayback and, about $50
p, M, Yesterday evening, Slayback, accom-
panied by Judge W. II. Clapton, went to
the Post Dispatch office and entered the
room OF the editor. What passed then is
told in several different ways. Slayback
began talking to Cockerill, but hardly had
time to speak single sentence,,,when Cock
Grill pulled revolver and shot him. The
ball went crashing through Slayback's head,
and death was instantaneous. When Col
Slayback entered the editorial rooms he and
Cockcrill met face to face. The Colonel be-
gan to denounce Cockerill for assaults made
upon him by the Post Dispatch, and in his
fury the Colonel drew revolver from his
pocket. Cockeril, who had the advantage
by reason of his sclfpossession, also drew
his revolver and fired at Slayback, who fell
MORALLY wounded and died afcw moments
afterwards. His corpse was soon surround
cd by 4 crowd of excited friends
According to the story of Victor Cole foreman
of the Post Dispatch ncwsroom, who was in the
sanctum of Managing Editor Cockerll when Slay-
back entered, the latter a pistol lying on
Cockcrills desk and asked, rs that revolver for
me p Cockcrill replied, 1T is for you whenever
you want it." At this Stay back covered Cockerill
with pistol but before he could pull trigger John
McGuftin, business manager of the paper, who was
also in the room, jumped forward and grabbed the
weapon At the same instant CockeriIl rose with
the pistol in his hand and shot At IL o'clock
last night Cockerill drove to the Four Courts and
surrendered himself
