JOHN SEIGEL.
By r. A.

John Seigel, a looker-on at the prize
fghtat Clinton. short time ago, an accoun,
OF which appeared in these columns, was
shot and killed while in the act of return
ing hat to person who had requested
him 10 do so.
And they buried him, Tom. as he fell;
They took not the shoes from his feet,
Nor washed from his body the smell:
But in his old work clothes complete
They buried him, Tom, as he fell.
Twas no crime of his, Tom, that he fell
Our poor, honest, old, innocent friend.
The people here all loved him well,
And mourn at his untimely end;
They regret that he needlessly fell
Twas thro' kindness of heart that he fell,
Twas his last act Of life to befriend.
And the bystanders who saw ali tell
That a generous act caused his end
BY dastardly bullet he fell.
And to bury him, Tom, as he fell
Was scarcely the fair thing to do
Bv one who had soldiered SO we'll
In battle. dear Tom, il might do,
But In peace it's hard thing to tell.
Bu, they buried him, Tom, as he fell
Nor washed him, nor dressed him anew.
II may be, perhaps, just as well.
But il don't seem the fair thing To do,
And for Clinton it sounds bad to tell.

RESIGNATION.
BIZ ROSA PEAELE

All, if thou could II come back 10 ne,
just once, as in that long ago,
With sweet shy grace and winsome smile,
And white robes fut ring Ia and fro.
Ii | could tee thee gliding in.
And feel thy hand with light caresss
Brush hack from OF nv heated face
A sIraying lock. or wanton tress,
i should fal weeping bitter tears,
And claspIng thee with tender fold
Should tel thee, I had suffered much
Since clinging arms had .ossed their hOla.
II seems 80 long so long-ah God,
WHY not forget remembering this.
Tn, - weary days and months and years,
Have gwen thee amending bliss.
Remembering time no more lie thine,
Nor cans't thou measure grief, on tears.
As human grieis are reckoned up
God gives eternity-not years.
And whaI are these dark woes OF mine
To thine completed full delight.
What this brief desolatencss iv.d
To thine inheritance of light
Foryive--forgive-be best,
Forgive fhi. weak humanity
That sadly iGoans-thuu can'st not come,
Wait thou-snd | will go 10 thee.

THAT WOMAN.
She Talked q Bazoo Reporter to-
Death Yesterday.

The fire reporter Of the paper published
for the people now on earth went out YES
terday to learn some particulars about the
tire which took place early yesterday
morning.
He saw mild, pleasant lady, living
next door to the burned house, and from
her obtained some information. Then he
lett to return to the ofce, where his dag
cling corruscatiOns have been the wonder
and admiration of the whole force, except
to his brother reporters, WHO were meanly
jealous of his talents.
As he was CROSSING q street in East Sc
dalia, he heard shrilf voice calling to him.
He stopped in obedience to the call and
was confronted By. a woman of rather
ancient years, who thas began on the
young man:
"Be you an insurance agent Va The
reporter informed her that he hadn't
enough cheek for that business.
"Well, then you must be a reporter ?"
The charge was duly admitted.
II thought SO, when saw you talking
to that other woman. But you didn't
go to the the right house. / can tell you
more than she did"
The reporter got out his prmp to 90 to
work on the volunteering and good hearted
woman. But before the machine could be
put to use, the glib tongue of the woman
was fairly flooding the air with q
mass OF talk that seemed like Ten
nysOn's brook, to flow on forever.
Not a bit of information was
impaired, but story as long as the moral
law sent sizzling upon the defenseless
young man. In vain he trisd to ask ques-
ton but ne was instantly 5hut up.
Then he assaved flank movement, un-
der plea OF OF pressing business, and triesi
to "move on" 1t was dreary failure.
He hung up on the fence, his face pale
with terror and his frame shaking With
fright.
Madam" he gasped, "be merciful; show
some pity to an orphan; let up on me-"
But his piteous plea was UNDECIDED, and
when he tried to get away he was rudely
seized and thrown upon the sidewalk ,
while the rafting tongue run faster than
ever Over his PROSTATE form bent that
woman as as she said:
"My father once remarked that procras-
tinatiOn was the death of trade, bis gen
tie spirit took ia fight to where fires are
never known and his eyes softly closed In
Mr.. Ingersoll's dreamless Sleep"
With proud exultation the woman went
her way, and the BAzOO wants another Ere
reporter.

Fighting Water.

There are fighting men and women,
fighting newspapers, lighting coons, fight
ing whisky, but a dog Sighting a stream of
water, yesterday, in front of the engine
house, afforded most delectable sport to
the large and distinguished crowd who
witnessed the contest.
Yesterday morning, after the fire, Frank
McAnally and Henry Willis were cleaning
the machine" and were using stream Of
water. "Watch," the engine house canine,
was on hand and concluded to tackle the
water. He did so, in vigorous style, and
as Willis would turn the water on the dog
he would stand to the rack as if fighting a
live foe. To see that dog hop around and
reverse ends made the lamp post smile.

A BAD BLOW.
Burglars at Work at Lamonta-
They Break into wade's
Store. Blow Open two
Safes and Capture
$500 and Many
Valuable Pa
pers

In the early hours of Yesterday morn
ing bold and successful burglary and safe
blowing job was perYetrated at I.amonte.
MIR. j. T. Wade's store being the scene of
the crime
From gentleman who came to the citv
yesterday BAzOO reporter cleaned the
following facts:
The burglars effected an entrance to the
store by prying open the front door with
an iron bar. This was SO noiselessly done
that no one heard the burglars at the work.
After getting into the store they found two
safes, one of them belonging to Mr..
j. II. Wade. the other to Mr. Penquite. They
drilled hole in the top of the safes and
with charges OF powder blew them wide
open, the doors being detached from their
hinges.
The safes were riHed of their contents.
the burglars finding Mr.. Wade's especially
rich. They took from it
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
and some valuable papers, but left severa,
checks which were filled out. From MIR.
Penqultes safe very little money was taken
as there was only about four dollars in it.
But all OF his papers, some of them verv
valuable to- the owner but utterly worth
less to the burglars, were taken. Parties
heard the noise OF the blowing open the safes
but supposed it was julie Busch or some
one else shooting rats. The burglars
must have been frightened of, as they LETT
their tools on the floor, thing they would
not have been likely to do unless their de-
parture had been hurried by fear of detec-
tiOn
There rs supposed to be three men who
did the work, as this number were tracked.
yesterday, short distance west of La
monte. Two of the men were shod. the
other one was in his stocking feet. Yes
terday there had been no clue to the burg
lars, other than the tracks, bat diligent
search is being made for them.
MIR. Wade has offered hundred dollars
for the apprehension of the guilty parties.
This reward ought to stir mp policemen
and sherifis to lively hont for the
burglars.
The burglars broke into Heinlien's black
smith shop to get the crowtar by which
the door OF the store was forced open.

while still warm the thick syrup is
poured into cocoa nut shells, where it
soon becomes solid
BY subsequent operation the
pageny itself furnishes a most excel
lent molasses.
The surf, in its half fermented state,
furnishes the yeast used by the bakers
of Ceylon, and reaching the stage of
acetous fermentation, it becomes as
fine vinegar as one need for.
Not yet have we measured the
capacity of this wondrous juice elab-
Grated by the wounded flower, nor
yet have we seen the fullDess of the
return of ''good for evil" of which it
furnishes so illustrious an example.
There is form in which the surf
is still more valuable than as sugar,mo-
lasses, yeast or vinegar, this is the
"toddy" to which we have already
alluded.
In its middle state of fermentation,
surf is transformed into this celebra-
ted liquor, which, Intoxicating in its
self, is rendered still more so, by the
addition of the leaves of species of
datura.
In appearance awack,- G.Aother

parent and of light straw color;
Ceylon alone, exports annually from
5000 to 6,O00 "leaguers," each con-
tanning $50 gallons. "
Nor are these the only gifts be-
slowed by the wounded flower,
which, be it observed, is of large
size, and purely white. as befitting so
benefcent a spirit
/ geDy TO the sweet surf, a strong ce>
ment is obtained, which is capable of
receiving beautiful polish; walls are
prepared for the reception of this ce-
ment, by wetting them with strong
infusion of the husk of unripe coco~
nuts, fluid which is also used in
mixing the materials.
In Madras, roots are covered, and
columns and floors overlaid with this
pageny cement; the latter being FREE
quently stained, so as to resemble the
finest marble; in Holland too, tbis
strange cement has been satisfac.
torily employed for various purposes.

A Bonanza.
From the Land of FloaUerS.

From the Land Of Flo,verS.
We are told by Judge P. w.
White, that the southeast quarter of
section II, township 81, range 36,
south and east is the richest lot of
land in Florida, and that the same
belongs to the government, subject
to entry. If this be true, and we
presume it is, coming from the source
it does; there is bargain in it, for
the first one who will apply at the
Land Office in this city and secure it.
1t may be possible, that we have given
the wrong number, but COL Fred
Myers, can point out the situation of
the land to any one who wishes to
get bargain.
Since writing the above, we learn
that syndicate has been formed in
this city, to purchase the above des>
crlbed land and all that adjoins it,
and that they are confident that a
bonanza has been struck, worth a
halfAdozen of Ponce DeLeon's springs
of perpetual youth.

was so indignant at being disturbed
thereby that he actually brought suit
against the company for locating its

Cure for Warts.

a. A farmer writing to an exchange
says: 81 had mare some years ago
that had large wart on her side,
where the harness rubbed and kept
it sore. In summer, flies made it
worse. To prevent this, / put on a
good daub of tar; and in few weeks
the wart was killed, and disappeared.
l have frequently, tried it since on
cattle and horses, and seldom had an
occasion to use second application.
The remedy is simple and effectual." "

No Chinees farmer ever sows a
seed OF grain before it has been
soaked in liquid manure diluted with
water, and has begun to germinate;
and experience has taught him that
this operation not only tends to pros
mote the growth and development
OF the plant, but also to protect the
seed from the insects hidden in the
ground.

An Old Building to be Torn Down

The old brick dwelling formerly owned
by Dir. P. M. Williams, on the corner of
Main and Henley streets, but on the lot
which is now owned by Mr.. A. ]. Albers,
was put up at public sale at auction yester-
day evening, by the wide awake anctioneer
E. A. Akers. The terms were cash, the
purchaser to have all the material brick,
wood work, :, and to tear it
away and remove it in sixty
days. The sale attracted a
good crowd. The building was start ed a
$50, and the bidding was quite lively for q
few minutes, being knocked off at $166
to Maj. E. c. Camp. This building is one
of the oldest landmarks of Knoxville
