POETRY.
A Voice From the Pen

The following poem was written by
Benjamin Stalcup. an Indiana school
teacher. The first five stanzas were writ
ten as riddle, and the last is the answer
Tn friend to the needy, tool for the
wise;
And all who can use me to honor may
rise,
I'm a recorder of science, though art is
my trade.
Ny strength is untold, though slenderly
made.
can boast of new features almost every
day;
The hearts and the minds of vast multi
tudes sway;
My name seen in print is not large
word
Yet mightier am l than the shield or and
the sword.
1 note many pictures seen in the minds
Record all the moments that pass swift
ly by,
For these things alone without further
plea,
The world owes respect and homage to
me.
BY the careless I'm daily and hourly
abused;
BY the teacher, the statesman and banker
misused,
Yet proudly triumph DER darkness and
gloom,
And record past events of a world-peOpled
tomb.
When all things around me have faded
away
And bodies now living returned unto
clay,
The works that I've done and those that
/ do,
VIII shine as bright stars in ethereal blue.
Take pattern, ye mortals, improve while
ye can,
Take lesson from me, little steel pen.
For the good you accomplish, your actions
of love,
May watt you at last'to Heaven above.

NEARLY 200 descendants of Rebeka
Nurse, who was hanged as witch in
1892, assembled at the ancient homestead
of their unfortunate ancestor in Salem,
Mass, on Wednesday, July 18th, 1888, to
pay pious tribute to her memory. Mrs.
Nurse was seventy years old when super
stitiOn sent her to the gallows. She was
the mother of eight children and a wo-
man of lovely character. She was acquit-
ted once, and after her conviction she
was reprieved by the Governor, but Ger
tain friends" induced him to withdraw
the reprieve, and on June 10, 1899, she
suffered martyrdOm on GallowS Hill,
probably on the spot now known as
Witch Square. The province rendered
reparation in I'll, when the General
Court ordered that the magnificent re-
compenSe of e25 be paid to the seven
heirs of "Rebekah Nurse, who suffered"
The old homestead is described by the
Boston Advertiser as a two and-a half
story mansion, with old fashioned lean-to
and babled roof. 1T stands to-day" says
the Advertiser, midway between Pine
and Collins streets, near the old Tapley
carpet factory. The timbers are of oak
and the rafters of hewn saplings. The
roof is boarded lengthwise, and "a man.
moth chimney occupies the center of the
house. With the exception of modern
addition in the rear. the house is appa-
rently unchanged in appearance since the
date of its erection, about the year 1880,
and stands as it stood in the dark days of
1892"

In the fall of 1851 Secretary Cameron
and Senator Zach Chandler came to this
city to consult with Gov. Morton, after
having visited Louisville and consulted
Gen. Sherman, who was stationed there
The informant of the NeiOS was one of
the party among whom the consultation
here was had, and he says that Mr..
Cameron derided the idea of such force
as the general wanted, and was seconded
by the senator Both of them very
freely declared that the generals sense of
his responsibility had unsettled his intellett
aud that he was unfit for such an impor-
taut position Gov Morton, with a
kecner insight, said very little, He had
expressed to the NetcS' informant few
days before on his return from visit To
Gen. Sherman the opinion that the latter
was unduly discouraged aud probably
owe re stimated the danger and difficulty
He wanted 100000 men," said the
governor, and he doubted - if it wouldn'
take year, even with that force, to
drive the rebels below the Tennessee
line. 1t took all of both before the work
was done. But the governor was some
what impressed with the notion that the
generals mind was unsettled by the
magnitude of his task aud the hopeless
inadequacy of his forces. He walks bis

of nothing but the impossibility of doing
anything with the means at his command,

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.

One of the most elegant and grand
entertainments ever given in Rock Island,
came off last evening at the palatial resi-
dence of Hon. P. L. Cable. 1t was a re
ception given for his only son, Ben T.
Cable, and his accomplished bride. who
have recently returned from their we'd
ding tour around the world. The hours
were between and 12 o'clock p, IN.
Soon after o'clock carriages commenced
arriving By 10 O'Clock most of the
guests were assembled. They were re
ceiyed in the parlors by Mr., P. L. Cable
and wife, Dir. and Mrs Ben T. Gable and
Miss Lucy Cable. The frequent visits of
the family to Europe as well as the late
tour of the bride and groom, have given
great opportunity for the selection and
collection of the most beautiful works of
art, consisting of paintings, statuary,
fabrics of the richest and rarest designs
in short thousand and one elegant ar
ticles and of the most elaborate finish and
choicest works of art which the old world
can produce. The result was the guests
enjoyed the rare collection to the same
extent they would enjoy a gallery of fine
arts either in the old or new world,
Especially were the rich curiosities from
China and other parts of Asia greatly ad-
mired, Every lady seemed to feel at
home and enjoy the evening with great
zest Kinsley, the Chicago caterer, served
the refreshments in bis usual quiet and
easy manner, having with him large ret
inue of skilled walters, To say that he
was the caterer is enough. The intertain-
ment was delicate as well as sumptuous.
1t is not possible to mention all who were
prestnt-probably one hundred and fifty
being present.
