Roar guns OF cursed race,

Roar and crash thro' the church and the home

Thrills at the glare Of the blood-red flames,
And the black smoke sweeping round,
And the mother there, with the babe in he

How'll lips of q brutal foe,
Belehing forth fetid breath,
As the nimble sponge-staf swabs the gun
For the long, grim bolt of death,
There women to strike with your rifles shot,
And o church. with its snow white spire

The bursting shell and the fre.
Oh true were tho words of our noble Lee,
As he heard the echoing roar,
And saw the fiame-tipped battery smoke
Drift up from the Stafford shore:
sThese people delight to destroy the weak.
And to see the innocent fall:
To destroy without being hurt themselves
That suits them the best of ALI

The scum OF low-born Iace

Cowardly, slave-like, and basel

For the dark deed OF this day
In torrents of worthless Yankee blood
Shall your triumph be washed awayi

Chandler, manager, of the Erie Trans
fer company, at the foot of Chambers
street, this city, were arrested yes
terday, charged with systematically
defrauding the company. They spent
the night at police headquarters. 1t is
estimated they have succeeded in
swindling the corporation of $4,000.
It was clever scheme the pair work
ed together. Chandler would make
out false bills for horses, wagons, etc.,
which he would present to Challer,
and the latter would pay them,
knowing them to be false.

Texas.
A telegram comes from Governor
Ross, who is also commander-in-chie
by virtue of his office, of the Texas
state militia, which is in effect that
the governor will disband the San
Antonio Rifles. He says:
"The personal contributions of Cap
tain Badger and other members of
the company to the service and sue
cess of the encampment are entitled to
recognition and due praise. But the
excuse rendered for non-attendance
of the company and disobedience of
the general order commanding their
presence, in face of the fact that the
company was so near, seems wholly
insufficient and Is deemed so utterly
unmilitary, that however much it is
to be regretted, can see no other re-
course left unless better excuse can
be rendered) to exempt the command
er-in-chief from the unwelcome duty
of ordering the disarmament of the
company"

The firemen will, through their rep
resentives, the board of fire directors,
have something to say regarding the
Kampmann flats now being con-
structed on the corner of Houston and
Jefferson streest, opposite the MAYER
lex hotel.
They claim the building is unsafe.
and If fire should occur in 1t. would
be very dangerous. Said one fireman.
"The entire department Of the city
have decided, In the event of fire
breaking out there, not to attempt to
save it, but we will throw water on
all adjoining houses"
"This decision is not reached out of
spite that the department was not
consulted before building, for
we do not blame the owner
if they can put up such a
house, but because it would be risking
our lives to enter it during fire.

iron plate only an inch thick and
