His Last Victory.

Soldier, rest, as soldiers may
When their warfare all is ended;
Final victory to-day
On thy BANNER has descended.
Not by blood, and smoke. and flame
With the cannon s doleful thunder.
But by cain endurance came
That which moves our love and wonder.
On this painful, silent field
All alone we saw thee ever
Standing firm VIII ere others Weld,
Brave unto the last endeavor.
Soldier, thy heroic strife
Thus has added, still is giving
Something more to human life,
TO the dignity of living.
Peace may now pervade thy breast.
Pain and anxious thought are ended;
Lay thy weary head to rest
In the land thy arm defended.
Sleep the sleep at last that comes
Unto ell with little warning,
Til thou hear the rolling drums
Beat the reveille at morning.
Stars above and men below
VIII the faithful watch be keeping,
While the breeZes come and 60
Round the tent where thou art sleeping.

lncendiary Fire at Somerset, Wabash County
Three Buildings Burned.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WABASH, Aug. "a disastrous fire occurred
last night at Somerset, this county. At 9l5
o'clock flames were seen bursting from the roof
of Mrs. j.. E. Fowler's frame dwelling and store,
on the principal street. The lady had taken a
train yesterday morning for Ohio, and had her
effects packed UP in the house. The building
could not be saved, there being no fire protection
in the place. The flames communicated to the
Masonic building, across the alley, which
was consumed, together with the saloon
Of Howard Lucas, adjoining. The contents
of the latter were saved. The Masonic frater-
nifty lost all Of their lodge furniture. The con
tents of the postoffce, on the lower floor of the
Masonic building. were saved; also the goods of
Mrs. Fowler.
During the excitement, Coe Weimmer fell
from the roof of the Fowler building, and was
considerably injured. The fire was the work of
an incendiary. The loss is not fully known.
But for the fact of a heavy rain during the day,
the town would have been in ashes to-day.

Grasshopper Ravages in Wabash.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Aug. 3.-The ravages of the grass
hoppers continues to agitate the farmers in this
county. Considerable damage has been done to
the oats Drop but the corn will not suffer so
badly. Complaint is made that the pests cut
the bands on wheat sheafs. This fact may oper-
ate as a boom for wire binders. Crickets have
also increased to myriad numbers, and it is
thought by some that they do more damage than
the grasshoppers. The rains of the last two days
will probably do much towards checking the
hopper plague.
