an obituary of Ned Buntline when Nashville

dead That was 20 years or more ago. Ned
Buntlines father was Philadelphia lawyer,
who insisted upon putting Mel through a
course of Latin and B ackstono at an early
age. The boy rebelled, an ran away to sea
as cabin boy. The next year he entered tho
government service as an apprentice on
board a man of war. A year later, when IL
years old, President Van Buren, sent him q
commission as midshipman for lneritorious
conduct in rescuing the crew of a boat run
down by Fulton Ferry boat
Young Ju1son was assigned to
the Levant. Other midshipmen
refused to mess with him, because he had
been a common sailor before the mast, and
while on ths way to join the gulf squadron
he challenged 10 of them to fight. Some with
drew their refusal and asso -ated with him, but
he fought seven of them. Ned Buntline prob
ably carried more wounds in his body than
any other living American. He had in his
right knee bullet received in Virginia, and
had 12 other wounds inflicted by sword, shell
and gun, seven of which were got in battle
He was not educated for the army and navy.

line, in 1898, when in his fifteenth
year. This sketch brought notoriety to
the young writer and fighter. who subse-
quently received as high as $50, 900 a year for
the product of his brain and pen. He once
earned 81, 5000 in SIX weeks and at another
time, under pressure, wrote book of 6l0
pages in SO hours. He usually received
$1,000 for astory running through II weeks in
not know exactly how many stories he had
written, but estimated them at between 800
and 400 each long enough for book.

Alone.


Written for THE ENTERPRISE
sat alone with my conscience
In the cd Green Mountain State,
And thought of trust had given,
or love that had turned to hate;
And felt should have TO answer
The questions it put to me,
Aud to face the answers and questions
Throughout an eternity;
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came Haunting before my sight
And things that thought were dead things
Were alive with terrible might;
And vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing to face
Alone with my conscience, sitting
In that so,emnly silent place.
And thought of far away warning
OF a sorrow that was to be mine,
And where was the one to stand by me
The one to be true at al time;
And thought of a farmer thinking
OF the judgment day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me;
And wondered if there was future
In the land beyond the grave,
But 10 one gave me answer,
And no one came to save;
Then felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by,
For it was but the thought of my past life
Gone into eternity.
Then woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far away warning
Was warning of yesterday;
And pray that l may not forget it
In this land before thu grave
That may not cry in the future,
And no enc come to save;
And so have learned lesson
Which ought to have learned before;
1t was taught me by one had trusted,
And hope to forget no more;
And know of the future judgment,
How dreadful soccer it be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgment enough for me.

AFTER NATIONALIST AID.
SOME of the Tories Urging ParnelI ms
Chief Secretary for ireland.

1t is positively stated in Tory quarters in
London that influential supporters of Lord
Salisbury strongly favor an alliance with the
Nationalist, and the appointment of
Mr. Parnel as Irish chief secretary. That
such movement is being secretly promoted
there can be no manner of doubt, but respon-
sible leaders for obvious reasons decline to
acknowledge the existence of the scheme
Great pressure will be brought TO bear on
Salisbury to countenance the movement. II
he allows it TO go on the party organs will be
authorized to sound public opinion on the
subject. If not, the friends of Smith, Hol-
land and Stanhope, whose names are still
freely canvassed in connection with the ap-
pointment, will continue to urge the claims
