DRAINED n BAD NEGRO
Wounded Cook Killed Vicious NeQro
Who Had Cut Him.

Texico. n. NJ. Aug. 11.-Last Sun
day evening George Stout, the cook
at MeCabe & Stems samp. No. 81.
on the Belen cutoff, had occasion to
eject q negro from his kitchen This
negro went to another called Allan
tic Red, who bore the reputation of
La fighter, and easily persuaded him
TO take M the quarrel The negro.
Red, posted himself just outside the
entrance to the kitchen, bowie knife
in hand. and when Stout attempted
to pass out slashed him across the
abdomen in so vicious a manner as
to cause his bowels to protrude. Stout
fell on the ground, but fortunately
fell across pickax handle, which he
grasped and rising again struck the
negro on the head with it, scattering
his brains in all directions.
Stout who, by the way, is a white
man, was given medical attention
at once, and the attending physi-
clan says there are hopes for his re-
coyery provided no fever sets in.
There was nothing to be done for
the brute negro but dig a hole and
roll him in Stout had done the rest.
AS far as can be learned no legal
steps have been taken in the matter.

MY OLD VIRGINIA HOME

Ir old Virginia, far away,
Beneath fair skies of deepest blue,
In a secluded, quiet spot,
The dearest spot / ever knew.
There stands a house, old-fashiOned,
gray,
Close by the Shenandoah's brink,
With vine-set hills on either side,
Where blooms the wild rose, red and
pink.
When round me, at soft eventide,
The warm spring breezes laugh and
play,
Outlines in fancy go back
To that old home in boyhood's day.
Again / roam the happy hills
And wander DER the meadows bright,
And climb the dear, old orchard trees,
Where brown birds sing from morn
till night.
O charming hills and meadows gay,
Beneath those southern skies of gold,
long to stray thy pastures DER,
AS oft did in days of old!
o sacred home, of mem'ries sweet,
Where mother taught my lips to
pray!
1t fills my heart with strange unrest
And calls from strife my soul away
