BADLY INJURED.

Last Monday night Marshall Ran
dolph, q colsred porter at Murphy's
was stabbed in the left side on a Ches-
apeake and Ohio excursion tram. It
is alleged by a colored man named
Owens. The excursion passed quietly
until the train returning from Buckroe
Beach reached Fort Lee, . station a
few miles from the city. There the
troubled started, and fsom the fash of
knlves and hourishing OF guns it look
ed for time as though much blooo
would be shed.
In the melee it was almost impossi-
6le to see who did the cutting, but
Randolph insists that Owens ia the
man, and the fact that Owens disap.
peared from the tran soon after goes
against him.

more shan any State to take the Ne

AN OLD sHoB.

On q heap in o cellar
There lay an old shoe,
With black outside leather
And lining OF blue,
Whose style of its makeup
Oonclusively showed
That the time had been long since
It went on the road.
A buckle OF silver,
A keen and high heel,
a thick sole and square toe
AND nails of hard steel,
are signs OF much hunting
AND mountains TO climb,
But, list the shoes story.
Narrated in rhyme:
My maeter was young with
Abundance OF means.
ne wooed q wee beauty
Amidst OF her teens;
6us there was Q rival
VINO sued for her hand
ana feud there srose that's
wen known in the land.
And blood would have flowed but.
The fair maiden said:
l,ll settle this quarrel
by plighting to wed
tne one OF you two who
viii make me o home
On top of yon mountain
Where wild beasts now roam.
Now, be ars and fierce tigers.
Wild cats and such things,
And serpents with rsttlss
And poisonous stiRgs,
Did swarm on that mountain
And none but the brave
Would venture to climbit
For aught he might crave.
The rival was willing
To shed human gore,
To fight in q dutl
With one man or more,
But Co fight with Wild beasts aud
And such things Co subdue,
he thought was beneath him
And 40 he withdrew.
NY master went forth, and
With sturdy right arm
Cleared up this same mountain,
Established . farm,
And there he now lives in
A mansion at ease.
On top OF that mountain,
Beneath shady tIees.
And the fair blushing maiden?
Who did so love peace,
That she gave ss . ransom
Herself to release
My master from bloedshed
And thus was the means
BY which he did wed her
Amidst Of her teens:
Well, now in that mansion
Dan always be seen
That peace loving maiden,
<For she is now queen,)
Surrounded by children
So lovely and sweet,
That, Just to look on them
Is always o treat
