STORY OF a SONG.
'Tn the sweet By and By Born I'm

more Bennett, Of ElkhOrn, Wis, had its
birth in a country store. Mr.. Bennett told
the story as follows:
1T was about time for closing business
ir the evening when J. P. Webster. whose
melodies have made Wisconsin famous,
came into the store, feeling somewhat de-
pressed
4 said to Webster: What is the mat
ter now?
He replied 1t is no matter; It will be
ali right by and by
THE idea of the hymn came TO me like
flash OF sunshine, and 7 replied: The

make a good hymn
Maybe 1t would he said Indifferent

I then turned to my desk and penned
the hymn as fast as I could write I
handed il TO Mr. Webster As he read il
his eyes kindled and his whole demeanor
changed Stepping 10 his desk, he began
writing the notes instantly.
In a few moments he requested Mr.
Bright 10 hand him his violin, and he
played with little hesitation the beautiful
melody from the notes. a few moments
later he had jotted down the notes for
the different parts and the chorus.
I do not think il was more than thirty
minutes from the time I took my pen

The Darlington Renort

A careful reading OF the full report of
Gen. Darlington. Inspector General Of the
Army, should lead to wide modification
Of some extreme views which have been
expressed in regard TO the dismissal OF
colOred soldiers IN Texas. Attempts have
been made TO weaken its force by appeal
ing TO sectional prejudice because of the
fact that Darlington is a native Of South
Carolina. His high reputation as an Off
Ger Of exceptional coolness and good judg-
ment and the universal esteem for fair
ness In which he is held in the service,
make it impossible to believe that any
prejudice entered into his discharge Of a
delicate and difficult duty. II is also TO Be
noted that both his report Of facts and
his recommendations are substantially
Identical with those made previously by
Mai. Blocksley, inspector of the Depart
ment of Texas, who is a native OF Ohio.
The facts are that, due primarily to dis

would seem that the recent occurrence Of

On the Pacific Coast there is without

The Depth of Infamy.
