SOMEBODY'S DARLING.
BY MARIE r. LAcosrE.

Marie r. Lacoste, Southern
poetess, was born in Geogria about
1870. The following poem, which
appeared at first anonymously in
1868, inspired by a scene of the
Civil War, had her name attached
in an issue of the Southern Church
man. 1t enjoyed wide popularity
at the time.l
Into ward of the whitewashed
walls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets shells and
balls,
Somebody's Darling was borne
one day.
Somebody's Darling, young and so
brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet
face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the
grave,
The lingering light of his boy
hoods grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of
gold,
Kissing the snow OF that fair
young brow;
Pale are the lips of delicate mold;
Somebody's Darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue. veined
brow
Brush AL the wandering waves of
gold,
Cross his hands on his bosom now;
Somebody's Darling is still and
cold.
Kiss him once for Somebody sake;
Murmur a prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates
take,
They were Somebody's pride, you
know;
Somebody's hand had rested there;
Was it mothers soft and white ?
And have the lips Of sister fair
Been baptized in those waves of
light ?
God knows best; he was Somebody's
love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him
there;
Somebody waited bis name above
Night and morn on the wings Of
prayer;
Somebody wept when he marched
away,
Looking 50 handsome, brave and
grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead
lay,
Somebody chung to his parting
hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching
for him.
Yearning 70 hold him again to
her heart;
And there he lies, with his blue
eyes DIM,
And the smiling childHke lips
apart,
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave
tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his
head.
Somebody's Darling slumbers
here"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Congress idjourns After a War or
Words Between Some OF The
~ Leaders.
Bad Weather spells the Lawn Party
for the Russian Red Cross.
From our regular correspondent,


WASHINGTON. ID. c. April 80 fooA.
Congress will make a precipitate
adjournment at noon today, and
rush nome leaving scores of mast
important measures clamoring OF
attention. This hurried dispersion
is very gratifying to Republicans.
for II enables them TO avoid CONT.
ting themselves concerning much
legislation which the cOuntr, soreh
needs. Not ILL has been passed
in the interest of the laboIing man.
but with half dozen bills on the
the calendar for an eight hour law
and for an anti.injunction law.
Congress found time during the last
hours to pass bill for the benefit
of the shipping trust, prohibiting
the transportation of Government
freights in any but vessels owned in
the United States.
TT
A momentary obstacle to ad .
journment arose in the war of words
between Dalzell. Rep. Pa. and
Bourke Cochran, Dem, N. Y.
Dalzell, during his Congressional
service of thirty-six years, has earn
ed the reputation of a master of
bitter invective and reckless speech.
Being sixty years old, he has lost
some OF the more lurid qualities,
but still possesses the ability to fire
up in season and out of season. He
is small man, specialized, some
what gray, somewhat bald, stfident
and snarling of speech. Cochran
is ten years younger, fifty pounds
heavier, nearly smooth of face sur
mounted with an ample shock Of
hair. When he came into the
House thirteen years ago, he ir-
resistibly suggested the Fat Boy in
Pickwlck. But he has outgrown
that classical resemblance and is
now a very large and stalwart man
with an Irishman's blue eye. IN
Simultaneous wit, easy wrath and
tongue hung lightly in the middle.
For the benefit of John DslzelI Of
Pittsburg, | hope that his con,ro-
versy with this angry giant will he
wholly a verbal one. Dalzell is
ready talker, but Cochran is a high
class orator whose volcanic elo-
quence moves alike friends and
enemies.

Yesterday was distinguished by
an oratoricai wind-up Of the stump
speeches which have echoed through
the Capitol for the last month.
The galleries were crowded for
seven hours with some thousands
of people who did not stir from
their seats. The principal actors
were Littleheld of Maine and John
Sharp Williams, the leader of the
minority in the House. The Re-
publicans made a faux pas IN put.
ting forward Littleheld as their
champion. He is an entertaining,
scholarly and forcible speaker, but
is such an independent thinker that
he has opposed the Republican adj
ministration in its imperialistic DO.
Icy and therefore was easily EN-.
barrassed by questions with which
the versatile opposition piled him.
He asked the leading Democrats,
one by one, whether they endorsed
what he called the free trade speech
of Mr. Cochran, and when they
declined to answer categorically, he
raised huge Republican guffaw at
their expense. When Williams
took the floor he turned the laugh
and applause very completely by
asking Messrs. Grosveuor, Payne.
Dalzell, ct. al, II they endorsed
what Mr.. Littleheld had Just adj
mitted--that he would repeal al.
trust breeding tariffs and all tariffs
which enabled a manufacturer to
sell his goods cheaper abroad then
IN America, "answer, yes or no"
he shouted, to their great confusion
and discontinue. Mr.. Williams
said that tariff created prosperity
about as much as dam created the
current in the river. 1t was mas.
terly effort and is received unbound
ed applause.

Oh joy. The weather man says Montgomery may have some rain today.

 The Texas storm caused warmer with increasing cloudiness in this section yesterday.
