1.-THE great majority of our citizens

portunity on yesterday to attend the
Eman cipation Celebration. and that
the weather was unfavorable for the
parade was matter of general regret
IL is well enough for them to rejoice
In emancipation, though they have been
able to gather from the speeches of this
occasion only beclouded ideas of how

THE SMALL BOYS BEHIND.

With a clash, and biare, and boom and beat,
The big procession marches.
Through the lane Of applause, through the
shouting street,
And under the towering arches;
They march as grand as a conquering host,
With many plume and banner,
AS Shernan's army marched to the coast,
And into the streets Of Savannah.
And the sun that glints from their helmets
bright
Will dazzle, and CLEAN, and blind,
But there follows them, like string to kite,
The small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind, the small
boys who tag on behind.
The best OF the show, would have you all
know,
Is the small boys who tag on behindl
rabble that wobbles and tumbles about
Like bummers who bring up the rear,
They jostle and giggle and quarrel and shout
And boot and Iangle and ieer;
But watch for the glad ragamufan parade,
For the brave little barefooted bummers,
And leave the crowd for the Boys Brigade,
And leave the ffers and drummers.
March on, my lads, for the route is long,
And the way is hard to find.
There's long march ahead for the brave and
strong,
And small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind, the small
boys who tag on behind.
Long, long must you tread, through the grim
days ahead
You small boys who tag on behind.
S. w. Foss, in Yankee Blade.

Lane turned sharply and studied the
mans face. a question was at his very
tongues end-"You do not suppose he
could have given warningY'-but he
stifed it, his lips COMPRISING tight.
"If you think he has gone because of
my coming will leave on the late train,
as I purposed, and you can wire to me
when he returns. Then keep him shad-
owed until get here"
And with this understanding they
parted, Lane going at once to a cool re-
sort on one of the great lakes. -Four
days later came the dispatch he looked
for, and accompanied by two detectives
Lane knocked at the indicated doorway
one bright, sunshiny afternoon within
forty-eight hours thereafter.
A comely young woman opened the
door just a few inches and inquired
what was wanted. "Mr. Graves was
not at home" He certainly would not
have been in a minute more, for a man
swung out eff the third story window
and, going hand by hand down the con-
venient lightning rod, dropped into the
arms of a waiting officer, and that night
the forger and deserter spent behind the
bars in the Central station. The identi-
| fcatiOn was complete.
Lane was to appear and make formal
charge against him the following morn
ing. Going down to an early breakfast,
he picked up one of the great dailies at
the news stand, and, after taking his
seat at table and ordering light repast,
he opened the still moist sheet. The
first glance at the head lines was enough
to start him to his feet. ''Indian Out
break" 1.-THE Apaches on the War
Path" Murder of Agent Curtis at San
Carlos" Massacre of a Stage Load of
Passengers" Captain Rawlins, Elev-
enth cavalry, victim" Horrible

1t was the old, old story briefly told.

Pooh-poohed and pigeon hOled by func-
tionaries of the Indian bureau; sud

agent and his helpless family; stimuli
taneous dash from the other cad of the
reservation upon the scattered ranches
in the valley; stage coach ambushed;
Il valued old soldier butchered in cold
blood. There was no more thought of
breakfast for Lane. He hurried to the
| telegraph Office, thence to the police sta
ton. thence to an attorney whom he was
advised to employ, and by noon he was
whirling westward. mo laggard he"
when the war cry rang along the blazing

God TO bear him safety through, he
would return to them, to greet and grasp
each friendly hand again, and meantime
to prove himself worthy the high honor
they had done him.
There was hardly dry eye at the
table when the gallant soldier finished
his few remarks and then took his seat.
Besides winning the heart and hand
of one of the loveliest of the Queen City's
daughters, the captain has made hosts of
friends in our midst, and we predict that
