Some interesting "reminiscences Of

poets.
Payne first caught the tune of
Home, Sweet Home" from Sicilian
peasant girl, who sung it artlessly as
she sold her Italian wares.
The sweet sound of her voice at.
tracted his ear, and this music attached
itself to the now familiar words of the
most popular song extant.
Though Payne was born in Boston.

Long Island, in his early life, which
was the dearest spot on earth" to
him; A sketch of this humble home
lies before me, taken in the full verdue
ofsummer. A low, two storied, gable
rooted house, with one four paned
attic window, where the wasp built
her nest under the thatched roof, and
low caves. Two windows in the sec.

eOws, while a huge maple spreads its
branches high above the gabled roof.
The lower end of the house is Joined
by back building of one story, where
vines trail at will over the door and on
the low roof.
One catches the order of sweet
scented cloves, and dewy meadow

up such picture.

The wife of the Hamburg exile was
the sister Of the Earl of Dysart. who
died unconscious of the title which

male descendants the title reverted Ia
the crown. Yet, for O month. the

Early in youth he was apprenticed
to a carpenter, but the ambition and
talent lying dormant awoke in his
young breast, and he besought his
father to allow him to study for the
stage.
rnus, while the public applauded
the young dramatist in his first play,
the old Schoolmate stood behind the
curtain in tears.

COMMERCIAL.


L..
According to all advices noted. bust
ness throughout the country at large
during the past week has been decid-
ealy satisfactory, and the impression
seems to prevail generally that there
are ample reasons for the belief that
the commercial world will witness
great activity henceforward, undis-
turbed by serions Interruptions or inn
pediments. The money market is
easier now than it has been for weeks
past, which is a most favorable indica-
tlon. The situation on the whole has
improved so materially as to renew
confidence in the stability of the coun-
TRY, IN quarters where that coufi-
dence has been visibly affected
by the slight momentary depres-
sion and diminished business
of the preceding month. The general
market is steady and firm in tone as a
consequence, and despite the iorebod-
ings of approaching reverses by the
pessimists, the outlook is quite en-
couraging. The serious disturbances
that were predicted to the demand
and expectation of American cottons
have not as yet manifested themselves,
and the shipment to foreign ports of
| the products of American soil to sup
| ply the necessities of the old world,
continues with no prospects of abate-
ment. There are, however, auguriss
! of disturbances located in the indus
! trial centers of the country, chiefly
confined to the different description
OF iron manufactures. The
lessened demand for the
outputs of the mills, the reduction of
prices rs compared to last year and the
prospects of still further decline, are
| principal among the causes operating
to produce the effect indicated. But
| the country is too immense, its re-
sources too boundless, its industries
! too embracing, to suffer consequential
impairment by the depression in sin
! gle special line of manufacture. Re-
! speeding the commerce of Fort
| Worth during the past week, il has
been conducted with no notable change
! in the situation of the week preceding.
| Sales in wholesale lines have been
steady, uniform and large. An idea
of the state of business since the begin
ming of 1883 may be conveyed when it
is stated that the shipments from this
depot for the month of January
| have not fallen off exceeding
four or five per cent as compared re-
! latively to- the shipments during
the month of December, 1882. The
receipts of merchandise for correspond
ing periods, do not exhibit similar
proportions, the amount being greatly
reduced, perhaps fifty per cent. The
fact remains, however, our merchants
have complete stock in their ware,
houses and prepared to suffice the
requirements of the trade. The. local
market has been subjected to few
changes, these being noted correctly
in the quotations that follow. The
market is steady and firm in nearly all
lines. Staples form the bulk of ship
ments at the present in both dry
goods and groceries. Whisky is active
and steady. Sales at present amount
as high as at any previous time. Cot
ton is in quiet demand with a
steady market at prices given below.

THE CHARGE OF THE FIRST MICHIGAN
CAVALRY AT GETTYSBURG.
While Fitzpatrick was holding one
position Custer was holding another on
his left, which covered the York and Ok
ford highways. Soon after noon the
COnfederates began pushing forward on
both roads, driving in Clusters pickets,
and at one o'clock the advancing lines
were IN sight. Col. Ayers Fifth Michi-
gan was dismounted, pushed to the
front, and, having the shelter of stone
/ walls and natural ife-pits. this one de-
pleted regiment held at least three thou
sand men in check until the men had
fired their last cartridge and were
obliged to fall back.
Beng armed with the Spencer seven
shot carhine, the firing of this regiment
was so rapid and well sustained as to
create the belief that large force of in
fantry was posted behind the walls.
When Alger fell back he was followed
by both infantry and cavalry, and now
Colonel Nann's Seventh MICHIGAN was
ordered to form and charge. With a
yell and n hurrah the Seventh rode
down upon four times their number.
The highway was the only clear route.
Those advancing over the fields were
INSTRUCTED by bitches, fences, hedges
and walls, and the line was sometimes
triangle. Mann pushed on until a
heavy stone wall thanked by "stake and
rider fences barred his way, and here
his regiment halted and fought the Con-
| fcderates on the other side. 1t was a
| conflict at such close range that almost
every man shot was burned by the flame
! of the powder. The Seventh had to fall
back from the position upon the support
| of the Fifth. and while these two had
their hands full an officer in the First,
which regiment was then in reserve, sud
denly cried ont
Great Heavens we will all be swal-
| lowed up "
Just coming over the ridge in their
front WAS whole brigade of cavalry
formed in column of regiments. To
meet this new course Custer had Il single
battery and the one regiment. The Old
First did not number over 500 men, and
when ordered up for the charge and
formed in column of hattalions it seemed
rs if every man was riding to his death.
