I LOOKED INTO THINE EYES.

looked into thine eyes, they gave no sign
That answered to my love save tender light
And yet know they flame and gleam to mine
With ct fire, as dawn looks back al
night!
Thus fair disguised, my sweetheart, look al
me!
Sweet visions lead me as watch by thee.
Watched thy soft closed lips, they gave nc
sign
OF love, save glow as rapturous as the rose;
And yet 1 know thy sighs breathe back to
mine
As flower unto the sun in fragrance blows!
Thus fair disguised, my sweetheart, sigh to
me,
Soft radiance lures me as 1 watch by thee.
1 clasped thy quiet hand it gave no sign
OF ioTe, save gentle pressure of sweet will;
Anu yell know its pulse throbs unto mine
In riot of thy hearts responsive thrill
So far disguised, my love, hold hands with
me,
My life now quickens as watch by thes.
Concealing eyes, love hides your light close
in;
Soft shut red lips, you're full with fragrant
sighs;
Ye quiet hands, loves fever burns within
Your gentle touch! Thus in thy dear dis.
guise
And secret love, my sw ethcart sit by me
That none may know how faithfully watched
by thee!

I WAS told the other day, says a
Washington correspondent, that Gov
ernor and ex-senator John b. Gordon,
of Georgia, was fiat broke" again,
some enterprises in which he was en-
gagged having proved disastrous fall
ures. General Gordon is one of the
most popular men in the South. His
integrity and sincerity have never been
questioned The number of his friends
is only limited by the number of his
acquaintances. But he has been singu-
IarIy unfortunate in his commercial
ventures, and is now looked upon as
sort of Jonah. He resigned from the
Senate because an opportunity to make
large sum of money was offered him,
and ne was too conscientious to accept
it while he was receiving the pay and
sustaining the responsibilities OF Sem
otor. He made the money, am told,
but has since lost it all. Few men
have had so many chances to become
rich as General Gordon, for he has
successful friends, and friends willing
to hep him. But he has not the fac
ulty of keeping his money. Speaking
of this popularity of Gordon's, 1 am
reminded of what his successor in the
Senate, old "Joe" Brown, said not long
ago of him: "If any one were to give
Gordon hundred silver dollars and
lock him in q room, he would lose
half of them before he could get them
counted"

General Harney's Notion of Dignity.

The following story is told of General
Harney, when he was in command of
Camp Verde, Texas. He Was an intense
ly dlgnltied officer, and if there was one
thing he detested more than another it
was undignifed haste. One evening
just rs he WAS about to hold dress parade
he perceived that he had forgotten his
handkerchief, and - the weather was
very hot he said to his orderly:
"Go to my quarters, quick, and bring
me my handkerchief. -
The orderly touched his cap and start
ed for the quarters, several hundred
yards distant. After he had proceeded
short distance, remembering that there
WAS no time to loose, he broke into a
trOt.
"See that scoundrel running as if the
Indians were after him. If thele is any
thing [ hate it is to see soldier run
ming instead of marching properly.
Here, my man, continued Harvey to
another soldier, ''go after that man and
tell him to walk, confound him!"
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first kept on running,
the second one saw that his only chance
to deliver the message was to hurry up,
so he, too, broke into a run. To say that
Harney swore is to use mild express
sion.
Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him if he don stop running Ill
hang him up by the thumbs"
The Sergent started out on brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had a good
start, he, too, began to run as hard as
he could.
"lf all the three scoundrels amt run
ming like jack rabbitsl' CALCULATED Har-
ney. FL show 'em," and tucking his
sword under his arm, he started in pur-
suit as fast as he could run, but sudden
ly rememb ring his dignity, he came to
halt and walked stitliy back to the
place wh-re the dress parade was to
come off.

COLONEL Z. q. CASH, the duelist and
"fire-eater," who killed Colonel William
M. Shannon, prominent lawyer, in o
duel, in August, 1880, and who for days
defed the entire power of the State to
arrest him, died at his home in Ches-
terield County, South Carolina, o few
days ago, of paralysis, aged &C years.
He was buried in the grounds adjoin-
ing the Cash mansion, beside the re.
mains of his son, Boggan Cash, young
desperate, who was shot and killed by
a Sherif's posse, five years ago, while
resisting arrest for the murder of the
Town Marshal of Cheraw. Before the
abolition of slavery Colonel Cash owned
large plantations and several hundred
slaves. At the outbreak of the war he
was one of the first in the field, and
commanded the Eighth South Carolina
Regiment at the first Manassas. He
was bold and desperate fighter. After
the war he settled on his land and
planted. He was great sporting man,
and owned fine horses He had very
quick temper, and since the war had
killed four men. Two of these were
negroes, whom he killed for some
slight provocation. In 1880 he fought
the duel with Colonel Shannon. The
difficulty grew out of a quarrel between
the ladies of the two families regarding
the division of some property. Colonel
Shannon, although an old man, ao-
cepted the challenge, and was shot
through the heart. The people of the
State condemned this duel so severely
shat shortly afterward the Legislature
passed the anti-dueling law, putting
the duelist on the same footing with an
ordinary murderer. The Cash-Shan.
non duel was, therefore, the last which
will probably ever be fought in South
Carolina.

Eruenen COCK, Euicn naaUeen put right on
the day previous to the murder, Fitzgerald
had come into the house at 1--we minutes to 9,
he could not possibly BE- the man who had
alighted from Rankins cab at 3 O'Clock at
Powlett street. n
The next witness was DR.. Chinston, who
swore TO the death OF the deceased by means
Of chloroform administered In large guam
tity, and be was followed by Mr.. Gorby, who
deposed as to the finding Of the glove belong
ing to the deceased in the pocket OF the pris-
oner's coat
Roger Moreland, an intimate friend Of the
deceased, was next called. He stated that he
had known the deceased in London, and had
met him in Melbourne He was with him q
great deal On the night Of the murder he
was in the Oriental hotel in Bourke street.
Whyte came in, and was greatly excited He
was in evening dress. and wore light coat
They had several drinks together, and then
went up to hotel in Russell street, and had
Some more drinks there Both witness and
deceased were intoxicated. Whyte took off
his light coat, saying he felt warm, and went
out shortly afterwards, leaving witness
usleep in the bar He was awoke by the bar
man, who wanted him to leave the hotel He
saw that Whyte had left his coat behind him,
and took it up with the intention of giving it
to him AS be stood in the street some one
snatched the coat from him, and made of
with it. He tried to follow the thief, but
he could not do so, being too intoxicated. he
then went home and to bed, as he had to
leave early for the country in the morning.
In cross-examlnatlon:
Calton-When you went into tho street,
after leaving the hotel. did you see the de-
ceasedl
Witness-No, did not; but was very
drunk, and unless deceased had spoken to
me, would not have noticed him.
Calton-What was the deceased excited
about when you met him3
Witness-l don't know. He did not say.
Calton-What were you talking about
Witness-All sorts of things; London prin-
cipally.
Calton-Did the deceased mention anything
about papers9
Witness tsurprisedI-No, he did not.
Calton-Are you surel
Witness-Quite sure
Calton-What time did you get homei
Witness-l don't know. l was too drunk
to remember.
This closed the case for the crown, and as
it was now late, the court was adjourned till
the next day. The court was soon emptied
of the busy, chattering crowd, and Calton,
on looking over his notes, found that the
result of the first days trial was two points
in favor of Fitzgerald. First, the discrep-
ancy of time in the evidence of Rankin and
the landlady, Mrs. Sampson Second, the
evidence Of the cabman, Royston, as to the
wearing of ring on the foreinger of the
right hand by the man who murdered Whyte,
whereas the prisoner never wore rings
These were slender proofs of innocence to
put against the overwhelming mass of evil
dence in favor of the prisoners guilt The
opinions of all were pretty well divided,
some being in favor and others against. when
suddenly an event happened which surprised
