THE UNWELcOME VISITOR.

One morn heard low, quick rapping,
Rapping at my chamber door,
And felt presence e'er twas opened,
A silent football across the floor
Before this vailed mysterious stranger
My spirit quailed my pulses beat.
knew heavy blow was coming
And shrank away with fear comploa.
My palm was seized with eager clutching,
hand was pressed upon my brow,
fell back PROSTATE, faint and weary
lcould not tell you why or how;
A shudder passed from foot TO forehead
As felt the icy breath,
In my ears heard ringing.
A tolling like the knell OF death
"unwelcome visitor" whispered
Thy voice and touch can not bear"
Then health departed through the doorway,
Leaving sickness standing there
And he stood there smiling grimly,
On his breast no blossoms wore
For his sunless, dismal garden
Naught but poisonous heritage bore.
Days and months and years he fingered
With his fiery touch OF pain,
Never sleeping, never resting,
Vanished hope ne'er came again.
Standing by my pillow now,
But before his awful presence
Every mortal head must bow.
VIII ard passion, grief and madness,
Rose and left me one by one;
Now, meek patience, smiling sweetly.
Sits beside me on her throne;
But the guest who trails his garments
Cold and gray about my room,
Takes from me all sweet enjoyment,
Brings me naught but fear and gloom
''Naught but gloom" it were ungrateful,
When friendship comes with outstretched
hand.
And sympathy, her true twin sister.
Glides with grace I can't withstand;
Love, too, hghtens every sorrow,
Helps me bear this constant pain.
Strews around me rare. sweet roses,
Gives me all that heart can claim.
Scmnus stands with crimson poppies,
Bends above my throbbing head.
Waves the branches DER my eyelids,
Heavy from the tear drops shed;
And soft notes Of liquid music
Sound so sweet in plaintive strain,
No need 10 watch for health's returning,
I'd watch and wait, alas, in vain.
Faith comes in with Stow white lilies
In her tender loving clasp:
Courage, too. with precious ointment
Held within her generous grasp:
Together, then. they sing an anthem,
Triumph glory. peace and love-"
And the angels stoOp to listen
From their Heavenly home above.

THE CLAYTON MURDER.
A Horrible Crime Characteristic of tho
New Solid South.

A Horrible Crime Characteristic of ths
New Solid South.
James NJ. Clayton was the Republic
an candidate for Congress in the
Second district of Arkansas at the re-
cent election. His Democratic op-
ponent was r. c. Breckenridge. the
present member. who spent q consid-
cradle portion of hi. lime previous to
the election making 'ree-trade CAM
paign speeches at the North. Clayton
was at first reported to be elected. but
the Democratic rascals '.got in their
work" as soon after the polls closed
as the signs of danger appeared. and
by characteristic pract,ces so shaped
the returns, or such returns as were
allowed to be counted, as to make an
apparent majority for Breckenridge
on the face of the count. Among
other crimes committed by the con-
spirators to defraud the suffrage. they
stole ballot-box in Conway County,
one of the Republican counties Of tho
district, which presumably contained
large majority for Clayton.
The fictitious majority finally manu-
factured for Breckenridge was several
hundred. but Clayton gave notice Of
contest, and has been collecting testi-
mony on the subject at Plummerville,
in the county where the theft of ths
ballots occurred. The other evening.
as he was in his clearinghouse, he
was shot and killed by IAN unknown
man." The dispatch announcing the
fact adds that 1.-The murder created .
great sensation" Such would natur-
ally be the case. The assassination OF
a member of Congress-elect in order to
defeat the contest that he was making
to recover the Office out of which he
had been villainOusly defrauded, would
be likely to create q sensation" al
most anywhere. 1t is too much to
hope that Democratic justice IN Ar
kansas will make any thing more of it
than "a sensation"
Murder for the purpose of consum-
mating an outrage on the ballot-box,
and to prevent the wrong from being
righted. is a natural consequence OF the
Southern election methods by which
terrorism and violence decide the re-
suit at the polls. Heretofore, how
ever. such murders have usually been
perpetrated previous to election at po-
litical meetings, or at the voting
places where Republicans have at
tempted to vote. But where it is a
practice to resort to bloodshed as
part Of an established political policy.
there is no reason why murder should
bs committed at one time more than
another. In this case it is evident that
Mr.. Clayton was getting close to the
criminal, who had stolen the ballots,
and was hard on to the evidence that
would have proved him to have been
elected to Congress over his Demo-
cratic competitor. A Democratic as
sassin assumed the job of defeating
the ends Of justice by putting him out
of the way. 1t was a crime character
istic of the solid South, and is new
evidence that the patriot there who
attempts the defense of the suffrage
does so at his peril, taking his life in
his hands as he enters on his work.

NOSE KEMpNER, who made a ,,;r
to Graham last week, returned last
FRIDAY. Nose says as happy and
lot of people as he ever
saw are the denizens Of that Carp.
They have nothing to do but chase
pleasure and have good time. The
only man employed out there at pres
ent IS jess Bradford, who is night
watching, and his work is not extra
ordinarily laboreous, except that of
keeping up fires. Nose says the
Grahamites live high, their tables be-
ing always laden with sway up good
grub" Dispatches are received from
Matt Graham, who is in London, by
every mail. He says money will
soon be sent out, not only to pay up
the Indebtedness, but to carry on ex-
tensive development work on Silver
Mountain. A long tunnel is to be
run to tap the julia mine at the depth
OF eight or nine hundred feet. Or
ders to begin this work are now ex-
pected every day. All the saloons
out there have been closed for some
time, and the camp has consequently
been " solemnly and seriously SOBER"
There has been but small stock OF
exhilerating hilarity ON hand, and
this has been given out only for me-
dicinal purposes. A couple of men
who were batching together made
affidavit, week ago last Friday, that
their health was not in fourishing
condition, and they desired a bottle
of the liquid fire of rejuvenation.
The bottle was given to them, and
they repaired to their cabin to quaff
the medicinal contents. They took
an overdose and the contents proved
to be not the health-giving brand,
but regular electrical disturbance and
row. producing liquid. One of the
men, under the influence of the spirit
of the liquid, slashed the other with {

was serious cut, and came near re-
sulting fatally. Nose says that if the
knife had gone in sixteenth of al

near bleeding to death. The name
of the man cut is J. jenkins, ant

The Gladstone, Orc Fino and Rev
enue mines, examined few weeks
ago by Capt. Smart, representing
Boston capitalists, are sold. It was
a pretty sure thing, when Capt.
Smart made his report, that the sale
was assured, but there was some
doubt, as sale is not actually made
until the money is paid. The money
was paid over yesterday, by the
bank at this place, and the deeds
recorded. The three mines were
sold for $4,000. They are located
on Elk creek, the Gladstone short
distance above the Elkhorn, the Oro
Fino mile below the Elkhorn, and
the Revenue a quarter or half mile
below the Orc Fino. VIM. Sweet
was the owner of the Revenue, Jas.
Smith, Robt. Williams, Fl. G. Thomp-
son and VIM. Sweet, Of the Glad
stone, and Mitchell Bono and Naz
Carpenter of the Oro Fino. The
company has thirty days yet in
which to take the Elkhorn, the price
Of which was fixed at 10000. This
mine has turned out over $4,000,
since the expert was here, with five-
stamp mill, and . small force in the
inine-three or four men-a definite
number of miners being employed,
according to an agreement between
Hugh Turner and the company's ex.
pert, until the money was paid over
or the expiration of the time allowed
the Boston capitalists to pay over the
$4,000. 1t is likely that they will
also take this mine.

Mr.. TULL, Constable of Long val
lev, called on the WoRLp last Sun
day. The prisoner he brought in
was convicted of petit larceny-lar-
ceny of a roll of blankets he appro-
priated during meeting of the Long
Valley Literary Society. The blank
cts were left In the conveyances, and
while the meeting was in session
Shores left the hall, and he bearing
the reputation of thief, suspicion
naturally centered on him as the
guilty party. The thief, it appears,
conceived and carried out what he
considered a smart trick, to throw
suspicion ON County Commissioner
Sisk, but it didn't work. The thief
did not make complete cleanup,
but left few blankets in Mr.. Sisk'
conveyance, taken from other con-
veyances. Before starting Mr.. Sisk
discovered that the blankets we're not
his. Even if he had not discovered
them, and had gone on home and they
been found in his possession, the
trick would not have worked any
better. Mr.. Sisk's honesty would moi
have been Questioned, and the thief
would have been nabbed just the
same. The Long valleyites told
him " it would go hard with hlm :" i
he did not tell where the blankets
were. He became frightened, &C
knowled the theft, and said thu
blankets were at his house, but they
were not there. The thief saw tina
the hest thing for him to do was t.
resurrect the blankets, so he led th'
way into the woods, and brought ul
at the spot where the stolen good
were cached. They were stoves
away under a log. While coming i
a brother of the thief confronted
Constable Tull on the road, and de
manded the prisoner, but Mr.. Tut
did not heed the demand, and he'll
on to his man.
