In the Old Barn.

Upon the old barns scaffold high.
With dreamy gaze on fragrant bed
l watch the swallows come and go
With twittering notes above my head.
Without, upon the half-shut door
The Phoebe sits in silent mood,
Prospecting for a place to build
Her nest and rear her quiet brood.
The hens upon the seedy floor,
Are scratching for the scattered grain
While chanticleer a challenge hears,
And answers back in deafening strain.
Old Charley in the stall below
Keeps grinding at the clover hay,
And tries with many an angry stamp
To drive the Saucy flies away.
But bark! pleasant sound hear,
Of children coming down the lane
And now they strive with flying feet
To see who first the barn will gain.
A gush of laughter greets my ears,
As upthe ladder. 1.-THE and and gay,
They come to seek for hidden eggs,
And frolic on the fragrant hay.
The little rOgues are wild with joy,
At finding fathers hiding place,
And thus my pleasant day-dream ends,
With smOthering kiss and fond embrace

Two Neglected Graves,

Washington Post.
In secluded parts of Mount Olivet
cemetery, far apart from each other,
however, are graves containing the re-
mains of two people once prominent in
national events, but now apparently for,
gotten altogether. One is the grave of
Mrs. Mary E. Surratt, who was execu
ted as one Of the Abraham Lincoln con-
spirators, and the other is that of the
famous Writ, the keeper of the much.
dreaded AndsrsOnville prison pen during
the late war. Visitors to the cemetery,
especially strangers. will lind practically
nothing to denote the graves of these
once well known people. WirtZ is bu-
ried under tall hickory tree, in which
squirrels chatter and gambOl. Tall,
rank weeds and unkempt grass sur
rounds the spot, and the simple inscrip-
tiOn, Writ" on tiny block of marble
at the head of the grave, is the only
thing to denote the resting place of the
man once so famous IN his peculiar way
and so universally detested. Mrs. Sur
rats grave is equally obscure. A rag
ged boxbush and glass jar containing
few withered vines were the only
sign shown yesterday hat oven memo
ry of the unfortunate woman still sur
wives. A small, plain headstone, blunt
ly inscribed, Mrs. Mary E. Surratt," is
all to indicate who the occupant of the
grave was. There is neither date nor
cause of death on the headstone, and the
lot containing graves of other members
of the family is rank with weeds and
banked with the faded leaves of au-
tumn- Mount Olivet cemetery was Wis
tied by large number of strangers yes
terday. The weather WAS exceedingly
dne, and two ladies, who had learned the
location of Mrs. Surratt's grave, visited
it and expressed regret at its neglected
appearance. They evidently cherished
friendly recollections of the poor VIC
man, for before leaving they purchased
flowers and placed them upon her grave.
That sort O. thing" said the superinten-
dent of the cemetery, occurs once in a
while, but not often"

OLD CHICKAMAUGA.
Gen. Steedman's Charge That Saved
the Day for Thomas.

Letter in Cincinnati Commercial.
As we sat one night in 1875, in the rat
ty Old editorial rooms of the Toledo Morn
ing Democrat and Herald, of which Gen
Steedman was leader writer, and man
aging editor, l asked him for the story of
'Chickamauga, where he won his stars and
the soldier title of "Old Chickamauga," OF
which title he was 30 proud. He told il
as coOlly as If it was dream to him:
"Why, my boy, there wasn't much sto-

appeared from our front. The sound OF
cannonading and battle to the northward
told me that the enemy had massed
against our center, and great battle was
on. From the noise of conflict | judged
and rightly, that Thomas was sorely
pressed. I felt that my command was
needed, and yet could not understand the
absence of new orders. l waited impa
tiently enough from daylight till nearly
noon, hoping for some word from my
commanding officer Finally decided tC
risk my neck, rather than see the Unior
army destroyed through inactivity on my
part. Calling council of officers ant

orders, told them my decision, and tha

There was forbidding thicket and an
oak forest between us and the belt of
rocks that marked the edge of a broad
plateau on which the enemy was jubilant
with victory. There, there said Thom-
as, as the guns flashed again. Now you
see their exact position. You must take
that bridge My reply was, 1'Il do it.
In thirty minutes after we reached the
field we were storming the rock of Chick
amauga. 1t was an awful contest up that
slope, every foot of which was planted
with death.
I'VE went in with seven thousand five
hundred, and only four thousand reported
for duty at the next muster. We went

OhiO's Fighting ParsOn.

George 5. Garfield, in the Brainard
(Minn) Tribune says:
Rev. Granville Moody, known as the
Fighting ParsOn of the Seventy-fOurth
Ohio, spent the summer at Mt. Yer
non, Iowa. He is now over 40 years old
and having preached regularly for more
than 90 years, he has retired from the
active ministry with health seriously
impaired, but is engaged in writing his
autobiography. MrMoody always called
his regiment my boys" At Stone Riv-
er, December, 81, 1862, his regiment cud-
died under friendly fence in front Of
the cedars. as Cheatham's Division of
rebels moved out to attack Us. The
Parson waited until the enemy was
close into the open field, when he sprang
out, his white hair and beard floating in
the wind of battle, and he shouted:
Now, boys, up and at EN-! Fight for
your country and your Godi Aim low ~
His boys did aim low, and before that
brave old Seventy-fourth Ohio regiment,
$50 rebels fell dead within % minutes
Afterward, when forced to retreat to the
break on the right, in passing out of
the cedars, Parson Moody showed his
revolver sheath back in his belt mora
out of the way. Instantly ball struck
the butt of the pistol, SCATTERING it to
pieces. BLESSED be Godw exclaimed
the Parson, devoutly recognizing the
hand of Providence. The pistol had
saved his life. Parson Moody was

A Terrible Tragedy Near Newcomers
town.

NEwCOMERSToWN,- Oct. 24-The vi
cinity of Frye's Greek Valley, about
| one and half miles north of
lock seventeen, was thrown into fever
of excitement early this morning by the
news of horrible and shocking TRACE
dy committed there last night about
o'clock. Mr.. J. Neisbaum, residing in
Frye's Greek Valley, had occasion to go
to Albert FintZer's, but on coming up To
the house he found all the doors locked
and the windows nailed down, and could
see no one around the premises. Sever
al Heighbors We're soon aroused aud An
entrance gained to the house by pTying
open a window. The sight that met the
gaze of the astonishsd men was terrible
in the extreme. In small cot on the
east side of the room there lay two lit
tie girls, the oldest about four years of
age, and they were apparently asleep,
but examination showed their brains
had been beaten GU. by some blunt in
strument The dead body OF Mrs. FintZ-
er was found lying on bed in the corn
er Of the roon, and her throat bad been
cut from ear TO ear. By her side lay
her Youngest babe with its brains
knocked out. Over to the north side of
the room, and Dear the cot where the
other dead children lay, was found the
lifeless remains of the father, Mr.. Flint
zer. An empty gun barrel by his side
and broken lamp lying on the floor
near him told the whole story of his
tragic death. AS the gun barrel had no
hammer or stock he must have loaded
it and then held one end in the fire of
the lamp till it exploded from the heat
and held the other end in his face, rs
the load tore the side of his head away
and stained the wall and window cur
tains. There is not the least doubt but
that FintZer murdered his entire family,
and then killed himself. The fact that
the doors were locked from the inside
and the windows also nailed down would
preclude all idea of anybody else having
been in the house at the time of the mur-
der. 1t is thought the infuriated man
mast have killed his wife and darling
while they were asleep, as there
is no evidence of there having been
scullie of any kind. He had been sick
of late. and his physician
had advised him to Qait work for awhile.
1t is thought that he brOoded over his
to work and support his fami-
ly until it drove him insane, and he
the awfu! deed. The crime
is the most shocking and revolving one
ever committed in this section, and to-
day hundreds of people from all parts
of this and adjoining counties have Wis.,
tied the scene Of the bloody tragedy.

CAPTAIN MAYNE REID.
Brief Sketch of the,Dea Novelist
and His Work.

Captain Mayne Reid, the well-known
novelist, died at his residence in Lon
don on Sunday evening, October 81, af-
ter short illness. He was born in the
north of Ireland in 1918. His father,
a Presbyterian minister, was one of the
pioneers of the ulster plantations"
The son, too, was educated for the min
istry, but his love for travel and ad
venture induced him, in 1888, to start
for Mexico without any definite aim.
On arriving in New Orleans he changed
his mind and went up the Red River,
trading and hunting with Indians. Sub
sequently he made excursions up the
Missouri and on the prairies, where he
remained five years. Then he Travelled
through nearly every State in the Union,
acquiring that knowledge of character
and incident displayed in his writings.
Just before the war with Mexico he
lived awhile in this city. Getting a COM
mission in the United States army be
went from here to fight the Mexicans.
He was engaged in the siege and capture
of Vera Cruz, led the last charge of in
IdHILy az OHcl uUuoCO dEu Tie l0IiOTu
hope In the assault at Chapultepec, where
he was shot down and was reported to
be killed. For his gallantry at Chapul-
tepec he was honorably mentioned in
the official dispatches. AT the close of
the war he resigned his commission, and
in 1S49 organized body of men in New
York to go to Hungary and aid in the
struggle of that country for independ--
ence. Upon reaching Paris he learned
of the total failure of the Hungarian
iDsurrection. Then he went to London
and devoted himself to writing the sto
ries that have fascinated young people,
especially boys fond of adventure. His
first work Of note, Rifle Rangers, ap-
peared in 1S49. THE Scalp Hunters"
followed il the next year, and thereaf-
ter about every twelve months until six
or seven years ago he put new book
in the market
