IA Malay and Hottentot
Were fighting on the plains.
In most unruly fashion
For the very doubtful gains,
When there came a Christian gentle
man
Toward them. through the rains.
The Malay and the Hottentot
Were very, very bare:
|. For danfpness and malaria
They plainly didn't care,
But the well-dressed Christian gentle
man
Began to shake and swear.
,"I wish you wouldn't fight" said he
'It's shocking and it's rude.
But since you will, I've brought to you
4 A basketful of food.
/ think the Malay needs 1t most:
& I've brought ii for his good
No thanks the Christian gentleman
From either party drew;
They fought with angry Vchemence
And quite obscured his view.
Said he, at last Such wckedness
VIII neSer, never dor
He loaded his revolver
This good and kindly man,
And shot as straight and fired rs fast
Is AS many Christians can;
And then hestruly felt himself
a good Samaritan.

pride,
Their pain Is hard to see.
But all must suffer when it comes

What have done is all because

The dying Hottentot looked up,
The dying Malay. too.
The Christian gentleman was just
Departing from their view
He held what they were fighting for
And held 1t tlghtly,too.
ooh shameful sight" they cried aloud.
s What could I do?" he said;
Some one must take this property,
For soon You Will be dead.

came from personal acQua intance with
men who had chased French privateers
in the West Indies or sailed along Bar
barry i'll search of corsairs. Nominally
Cooper was years in preparing for his
naval history, but actually he began
TO prepare for it at a much earlier date.
1t was probable that he was uncon-
sciously preparing for it long before he
began his literary career Alike in mis-
history and in his biographical
sketches. he shows desire to tell what
happened and to give due credit TO
brave men, no matter what colors flut-
tered at their masthcads
On this side Of the water 81 clique
undertook to assail Cooper because he
did not censure Elliott for his conduct
on Lake Erie, Nobody cares for the mi
nutiae of that old wrangle, but this
much is clear: Perry his official report
and in q private letter, praised Elliott
warmly. Year afterward they quar-
relied, Elliott desiring a duel and Perry
n court-martiai. Perry alleged that
now facts had changed his es-
innate OF lIlliotts conduct in
the battle. The controversy
was long and furious Perry
had 4 genius for making enemies in
and out of the navy. - writer who
aimed at nothing more than popularity
would have drifted with the current
and blamed Elliott. James Fenimore
Cooper would not do this. Generously
commencing Perry, he would not con-
denim n man whom he believed 10 be
suffering from injustice. Perry was
dead, but his champions abused Coop
or in violent and even vile terms. One
of Cooper's many libel suits grew out
OF this controversy, and Professor
Lounsbury is right in terming it -one
of the most extraordinary trials that
has ever been recorded in mere litera-
~ annals" The general opinion of the
republic was so markedly in Perry's
favor that Cooper was denounced as
if he had been a traitor to his country.
For n time he regretted having writ
ten his naval history. With passing
years, however, the bitterness died
away; and whateves one may think
OF the conflicting evidence. there is
no one who doubts Cooper's wish to be
fair and just. Pcrry's skill and courx
age speak for themselves, and no ono
recognized them more clearly than
Cooper. Perry's justice. consistency
and dignity of character arc not so we'll
established.

COOPER THE HISTORIAN.

If man is known as great master
of one line of writing. that very fact
may render it difficult for people to
believe that he can write anything
else. The fame of SwifPs satires OBJ
scured his sermons. and Lewis Car
rolls" beautiful stories hid his mathe-
NAUTICAL light under n bushel. Coop
er's world wide reputation as a novel
list has stood in the way of his history.
yet students cherish that history as
book OF genuine worth. One who has
loved the book for twenty years is glad
to pay @tribute TO its merits. and to
honor the memory of Its author, who
was always in n fight. but who always
believed himself to be lighting on the
right side.

The citizens of Fulton will not. for
the present at least, proceed further
against Schenk & Sons and the Wheel
ing Butchers Association. The cases
brought against the two firms on the
charge of polluting Wheeling creek,
with Michael Friesmuth, of Fulton,
named as complainant, were dismissed
on motion of Mr. Friesmuth, because
Prosecuting Attorney Meyer was not
present at the hearing which took
place before Justice D. z. Phillips. Mr..
Freismuth, in speaking of Mr.. Meyers
action in the matter, said that when
first he approached him in regard to
the cases, he promised to be present at
the hearing.
When the Prosecuting Attorney did
not put in an appearance at the hear
ing last Tuesday the cases were con-
tinued for a week. When Mr.. Fries
muth went to Mr.. Meyer for an expla-
nation of his non-appearance, Mr..
Meyer said he had forgotten the mat
ter and that anyway he could not
prosecute in the cases, as they were not
within his jurisdiction.
Thereupon, upon the advice of At
torney Howard, who had been retained
to assist in the prosecution, Mr.. Fries
muth had the cases dismissed.
Advice was then sought from other
attorneys by the Fulton citizens most
active in the movement, and it was de-
termined to raise funds by popular
subscription to furnish means to get an
Injunction against the nuisance and
put an end to it in that way.
At a meeting held yesterday in Full
ton only $500 could be raised. This
amount was considered insufficient for

was then decided to let the whole thing
rest as it stands for while at least.

usual.

Yesterday afternoon and evening
there was an interesting case in pro-
gress before Squire C. W. Bente, in
which E. B. Kennedy was plaintiff. and
Geo. T. Moore, Esq, was defendant
The suit was first brought before
Squire Mason. but as the justice was
required as witness a change of venue
was necessary. The plaintiff was for
three years connected with the Office OF
the late ]. B. Smith. and he now sues
the administrator for the sum of 5000
for services rendered. J. A. Gallaher
is assisting Kennedy, and Fred
Spriggs is associated with Moore in the
case. The arguments were not heard
last evening.
The first reception of the season was

have resumed their. former custom. 1t
is stated, however. the clerks will hold
another meeting some time this week
to arrange for having the stores close

out the winter. A committee will visit
the merchants who come within the
class anticipated by the clerks, and
after this canvass of sentiment it will

practicable to push the matter.

Plans are being made for the new
hose house in the Fifth ward. There
is a disposition upon the part OF some
to have the plans made so as to ac-
commodate a paid department when
the time comes for such need, but
others are inclined to be more conser-
vative. The building will be located
on the Du Bots lot on Noble street.,
which has been purchased by Council
for $500, for the purpose.
