rlrs. Emily Browne Powell.

The Christmas number of the Traveller, a
California illustrated Family Journal, has
an article on Californias Women Poets, in
which We find the following compliment
tary notice of one of Belfast gifted
daughters Mrs Powell was the daughter
of the late Mr.. NJ. NJ Browne and is sister
of Mrs. Geo. E. Bracket. Mrs Powell
wrote her first poem when but twelve years
of age. When twenty, after several years
experience as teacher in this city and in
the south, she went to California, where she
taught several years and later married and
settled in that State. The Traveller says:
All Of the gentleness, none of the austerity
of her Puritan ancestry, is diScernibe in the
poems of Emily Browne Powell, whose
iovable character finds expression in her
work. Mrs. Powell has contri buted to the
majority OF the foremost magazines, and has
maintained uniform excellence in her poems
and her prose. A frail physique makes
mental inactivity necessary TO her at present
but she has written enough that is good to
place her among the best of our literary
song makers, and to hold the interest and
admiration of her readers. For word etch-
ing and sympathetic quality the following
may be quoted
A VISION.
4 gray rock towering by the ater-side
The low lap lap, Of the advancing tide
"A sun-browned child, dreamy and wistful-
eyed.
Along the ripples sea-birds curve and dip:
From the blue distance comes a hom4-hound
ship;
Out through the far-oif mst-gates white
sails slip.
A fishing boat rocks idly to and fro,
Along the sands the fishers come and 90.
Hark on the wind the sailors "Yol heave
hol"
Oh, homesick she'll Thy low, imprisoned
roar
Brings back the sounding sea, the clitfwal-
led shore,
And the dear home that may see no more

KILLED BY DICK GLASS.
Son of the Notorious Outlaw
Stands to be Hung.

A letter from Checotah states
that on Saturday of last week Dick
Glass, son of the notorious Dick
Glass, killed some years ago by a
party of men under the leadership
of Sam Sixkiller, Charley McClel-
Ian being among them, shot Albert
Furr, living six miles from Checo-
tab, so seriously that he died in a
few hours. A few days before
Glass and another negro were
driving six head of cattle past
Furr's place and he, believing they
we're stolen, made a trade for
them, putting off payment for a
few days. Furr soon found the
owner, a man named Thompson,
who drove the cattle home and
was at Furr's house, in hiding,
the day Glass and his partner were
to have come for the money. They
did not come that day but waited
until the next, and when Furr and
his hired man tried to arrest them,
Saturday last, they shot him, with
the result stated. Officers were
soon on Glass trail ard in effect
ing his arrest he was shot in the
leg. He is now in the Jail hospital
at Muskogee.
