SHERMAN. =

Miles, o thousand from the East,
Miles, o thousand from the West,
Through q mourning nations heart,
Went a soldier to his rest.
Not as goes conqueror,
With the trumpetS joyous notes;
Not as hero mid huZZas,
From an hundred thousand throats;
But with moan of mufhed drums,
Knells of solemn tolling bells,
That q nations sorrow speaks,
That peoples sorrow tell.
Not meath arch triumphal reard,
Amid banners borne on high,
Clamors loud of brazen horns,
Cornet, and the flies shrill cry;
But in hush of sorrow sore,
That mourning people feels,
When a patriot 1yeth dead;
When to Death a hero yields.
Through the masses gathered wide;
From where Hudson's waters roll
To Missouri's turbid tide;
Men, and women, young, and old,
Through the ranks of veterans tried,
Groups of children wonder eyed,
Gathered by the roadway side;-
Gathered on the city's street,
Paying tribute to the man,
To the patriot homage meet;
Barring heads with fearful eyes
As, with sword upon his breast,
Wrapped in flag his arm sustained,
Thus went Sherman to his rest:
Miles, q thousand from the East,
Miles, a thousand to the West.
1t is well when granite shaft
On hero's grave is placed;
1t is well when patriot tombs
With the sculptured wreath is graced;
These will crumble, or forgot,
Gather moss in Times decay;
But the peoples love outlast
Monuments of stone, alway.
Grander monument is that,
Than triumphal works of art,
By the love for Sherman borne,
Reared within the peoples heart.
True, and honest, his motto was;
Honest, true, his history;
Honest, true, the peoples love:
Honoring his memory.
While the nation birthright keeps;
While our annals hold a page;
Sherman's name, and Sherman's fame,
Will be told from age to age;
Told in story, and in song,
Sherman's march unto the sea,
Through the heart of foeman'S land
In the cause of Liberty;
Told how, in the after years,
Mid a peoples prayers, and tears,
Miles, thousand from the East,
Miles thousand to the West,
Through the mourning nations heart
Sherman went into his rest.
Passing to the shOreless sea,
Through Time, to Eternity;
Followed by q peoples prayers
AS when he, triumphantly,
From Atlanta to the sea,
Marched viotoriousiy.
Long viii Glory's laurel wreath
Green on grave of Sherman be,
Still when patriots are named.
Will be Sherman, rightfully.
Toll no longer mournful bells,
Muff1ed drums your moan forget,
One more gem the nation sees
In her crown of jewels set;
He who wore patriots crown,
He who won a soldiers fame,
Dying, mid a worlds acclaim,
Left name without stain.
Honor unto Sherman's name,
But to God the glory be,
Who, in all our country's needs,
Gave the nation victory.

An Old Engineer.

Under the heading of i.'Notes Around

day, contains the following, which will be
read in this section with considerable in
terest by the numerous friends of the gen.
.tleman named:
zone Of the oldest engineers in the coun.
try is j. N. Smith, of this city. He is sew.
enty-two years old, and has been ten years
away from the throttle. Mr.. Smith was
one of the first engineers on the Blue
Ridge road, from Columbia to Anderson.
several years before the Columbia d
Greenville road was built to this city.
For tWenty.eight years he ran freight and
passenger, engines on these roads. a
number Of years he was freight engin:
eer from Helena to this city, and in old
time railroad days it was considered good
running to make the trip between the two
places 10 one day. After that he ran reg.
ularly on passenger train from here to
Columbia and back, and did not change
until he retired from work. -.
'sIn twenty eight years of actice service he
never ran over human being and people
along the line regarded him as 80 safe and
Trustworthy an engineer that they fre-
quently waited q day or two to go; on bis
train. Two people who fell between cars
were killed. MIR. Smith, on q number Of
occasions, stopped his engine just in time
to prevent killing some one. 1t used to- be
told as a joke on him that he would stop
the engine to drive geese from the track.
He was in number Of wrecks, however,
and was several times injured. The wrecks
were no fault of his, however. One time
some malicious person purposely changed
switch and the engine jumped the track
and turned over Fortunately Mr.. Smith
was thrown betwsen the engine and ten
der and was only bruised. The railroad
authorities say that he was one of the safest
and best men ever on the line."

Organized few years ago to manufac'

had ever been produced, laxative with

very wisely concluded to select the lead:
ing newspapers throughout the United
States to make known to the public the
merits Of the new remedy, Syrup OF Figs
Recognizing the INTELLIGENoER as most
valuable advertising medium; arrange.

advertisement which appears in our adver-
vertising columns. AS happens with
every valuable remedy, cheap eubstitutes

the general diffusion of knowledge it is
becoming more difficult each day to i'm
pose on the public. Health is too lmpor
