Feigued Death and Was Buried.

From the 81. LOUIS Republican.
Col. Musser relates an interesting incident of
army experience which occurred while he was
in command of the post at Washington Ark
in the summer of 1854. The story as related is
told by Federal officer, a prisoner in camp, to
Capt James T. Otey of the Eighth Missouri In
fantry. The Captain was playing the part of
the hosptabie host toward his guest and pris-
oner, through the medium of q couple of tin
cups and jug filed with homem whisky
clear as crystal and uncontamnated by an ex-
else tax. Lieut.. Boren was Federal officer in
an Ohio regiment, and had fallen into the hands
of Dick Taylor about the time of Banks Red river
expedition. Becoming weary of captivity and
disguised with Confederate rations, he planned
with several Of his fellow prisoners a scheme
by which at least one of their members might
make his escape. Whisky poker was played to
determine which one should be given the first
chance Lieut. Boren won. In accordance with
the scheme agreed to- he feigned death was
buried by bis comrades in shallow grave and
succeeded in making his resurrection after the
departure OF the Confederate ard companions
The deserted grave was discovered during the
day by some loiterers about the camping place
and the rlse dropped onto" and reported to
the commandant at Mershfeld, La who imIne-
dately set a pack of bloodhounds 20 track the

woods near Washington, Ark The hound
guarded the tree for three days and three
nights, until the soldiers who took their time in
the pursuit, arrived and again took charge of
the well-nigh starved fugitive.

The Old Farmhouse on the Hill.

From the ArkdnsdtC Traveller.
Boast not of Queen Anne cottages
Nor of summer villas gay,
Nor yet of stately palaces
Where marble fountains play;
The architect ne'er yet designed
And design he never will
A pile that can compare with the
Old farmhouse on the hill.
The millionaire i'm mansion grand
Owns pictures old and rare,
And all the Injuries of wealth
Has gathered round him there;
In spite of all hts brio a-brac
And store of wealth, he still
Oft thinks of the low gable-roofed
Old farmhouse on the hill.
He backward glances and he sees
His mother as she sits
Near by the hearth and croons to him.
And deftly mends or knits
Again he hears OF Sinhad bold,
And rafting Jack and Gill.
The while the shril wind whistles round
The farmhouse on the hill,
He sees hiffather, grave and stern,
But ever good and just
Again his fav'rite maxim hears:
I'm heaven put your trust"
And cen old Rover seems to hear
A-whinlng at the sill
That he may join the group within
The farmhouse on hill.

Florida Towns Indignant.

The citizens of Barlow, and one or two
other points in Florida, are indignant be-
cause the MORNING NEWS published a
dispatch from Washington last Sunday,
that an inspection had shown the recent ex-
istence of yellow fever in those places. 1t
is very natural that they should be indig-
nant, If the statement made in the dispatch
was incorrect. 1t seems, from later reports.
that 1t was Incorrect, except as to Plant
City, and may have been incorrect as to thai
place. The dispatch, however, was from
the Associated Press, and was an extract
from the Surgeon Generals report The
Indignation, therefore, should be directed
against the Surgeon Generals Office. There
was no reason at the time the dispatch was
received to question its correctness. coming
as it did from so authoritative a source.
particularly as a report of the existence of
yellow fever at Plant City had appeared in
a Florida paper several days before the
dispatch was received. The Plant CITY
Courier Of April 20 sustains the Washing
ton dispatch as far as that place is CON
cerned.
The MORNING NEWS is not disposed to
create unnecessary alarm with respect to
any matter, and particularly any matter
touching the public health but it is its duty
to notify the people if it receives what it re-
CARDS correct information of danger which
threatens any locality within its reach 1t
certainly regarded the Washington dis
patch, published last Sunday, as reliable
information. II the information from the
Surgeon Generals Office cannot be depended
upon, where is correct information respect
ing heath matters to bo looked fora
The MORNING News said yesterday that
the fever that has been prevailing at Plant
City was probably dengue. If it was
yellow fever, it was of remarkably mild
type.

Some of the newspapers in Tennessee
which don't want Senator Harris to return
to the Senate are urging against him an al
legged promise on his part not to run for
third term. The questions arise, when did
Senator Harris make such promise, to
whom did he make it, and was it in writing
and properly sworn tol Unless these news-
papers can produce the document, they will
be confronted with statement by Senator
Harris that he did not promise. Politicians
generally leave several loopholes in their
so-callea promises to "retire next timer
