For TIE D. IOCsAT.
When the leaves begin to turn
Then my soul begins 10 yearn
For The love that Ives Away,
For the Joys Of brighter day,
When the leaves begin to tu.l
And ,he woods begin t. oIrn
With the flames of dy:. : leaves,
Then my soul in lsnguor grieves.
In the sweet autumnal days,
From my soul spring forth the lays
Of a love that's hin to grief,
Fam I'd fall with Autumn'S leaf.
o, love the sad, sad days,
And the melancholy haze
That conceals sweet Autumn's skies
Then ny yearniDg mem'rY flies.
Flies back to the mold ring past,
10 the JOYS that could not last,
And my heart feels sad and lone
And l weep for days agone.
c, would that | could fly
Far among the pensiVe sky.
., to rest my weary eyes
Meath the wall Of Paradise!

A Most Horrible Murder

CHARLOTTE, N. c., February %
News was received here Thursday
night of a brutal murder of a white
woman in Alleghaney county. The
husband of Mrs. Rachael Emery, who
was very industrious farmer. died
four months ago, leaving her with two
children, one young man, and the
other little girl about years old.
Tuesday night, while young Emery
was away from the house, Mrs. EN-
cry awoke to find two masked men in
her chamber. She sprung from her
bed, jerked large revolver from
a bureau drawer, but was disarmed
aud shot through the brain. then
while she lay upon the floor dying,
the men fired two other loads into her
heart, and apparently not satisfied,
the wretches jumped upon her face
with their feet and with a bowie knife
cut her throat from ear to ear. When
the first pistol shot was fired, it
awakened the child, who was COM
manded to lie quiet, under penalty OF
death. They then consulted about the
life of the little girl and decided to do
her no harm. The child tells the story
and that the robbers made complete
search Of the house and carried off
$500. No arrests are made.

The Spirit of Fillibuster.

WASHINGTON, (House), February %.
The House met at 10 o'clock this
morning, but there was q very small
attendance. Under the order the
speaker was proceeding to recognize
members to call up the measure by
unanimous consent, but the spirit of
the fillibusterer was abroad, and
Bland of Missouri submitted the mo-
ton for recess for thirty minutes.
Gear of Iowa raised point of
order, that the true intent of special
order was, that not dilatOry
motions should be maintained. The
SPEAKER, however, received the mo
ton. Burrows, of Michigan, seeing
no business could be transacted under
the special order between 10 and II
O'Clock, asked unanimous consent go
modify that order. Bland objected.
Senate bill passed to satisfy and con-
firm agreement with the Creek Nation
Indians for the purpose of opening for
settlement the unassigned lands in
Indian Territory coded by the Creeks
to the United States.

Is He ?

In the LIGHT of Friday evening,
February %, is a statement that
flames Martin, Jr." is circulating a
petition for a school house on the west
side of the river for the colored chill
dren. Why should we petition for it
when we are entitled to it by the laws
of the state? Who are the citizens
who ask flames Martin, Jr." to circu-
late the petition, and who is this
James Martin, Jr.?" Perhaps he is
collecting compensation for services
rendered at the city election. AR.

The Jubilee is Come.

ST. PAUL, February 23.-The news
of the signing by the president of the
bill making four new states, was re-
ceived in Minnesota with quiet salts
faction, and a telegram from Helena
states that all Montana is celebrating,
but Dakota is really beside itself with
delight. From every hamlet large
enough to have a telegraph office,
comes dispatches expressive of the
state of jubilation bordering on in
sanity.

Where is He 2

On the first instant William Ross,
employed by the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railroad at Halletts-
vile left that place saying that he
was coming to San Antonio to collect
money and there is no doubt that he
then left on the train bound for this
city. Since that time he has not been
heard ofand friends are very anxious
to learn of his whereabouts, as foul
play is suspect, there being apparent
ly no reason for his silence.

Daring Train Robbers,

DELANO, Cal, Feb. 23.-As train
No. II, left Pixley last evening, five
men boarded it, two went on the en-
CINE and covered the engineer and
fireman with revOlvers. When about
two miles from the station, the train
was brought to stop and the other
three men went to the express car,
ordered the messenger to open the
box, covering him with revolvers.
Dynamite bumbs were exploded under
the car, and during the excitement
several passengers run toward the
front. Two of them were shot. Bent
ley and Modesto Reynolds were fatal
ly wounded and Chas. Gabert of Poso
was killed instantly. The train ran
back to Pixley, where the news was
left, the passenger coaches were
not molested, another account states
that but two men were concerned in
the robbery, and that while one re-
manned on the engine the other made
his way to the express car, and by eX-
plodIng bombs under the car so.fright-
ened the messengers that they speed
lily opened the doors. Bentley, who is
probably fatally wounded, is deputy
constable here. The amount secured
by the robbers is unknown. A posse
will pursue them from here.
