grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic be-
come grass-grown like rural
lanes, and are obliterated. For-
ests decay, fields perish, flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal; be-
leaguered by sullen hosts of win.
ter, it withdraws into the i'm
pregnable fortress Of it's subter-
ranean vitality, and energies up
on the first solicitation of spring.
Sown by the winds, by the wan
dering birds, propagated by the
subtle horticulture of the ele-
ments which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the rude
outlines of the world. II invades
the solitude Of deserts, climbs the
inaccessible slopes and forbidden
pinacles OF mountains, modifies
climate and determines the des.
tiny Of nations. Unobtrusive
and patient, it has immortal vig-
or and aggression. Banished
fr2m the thoroughfare and field,
IT, vldes its time to return, and
when vigilence is relaxed or the
dynasty has pershed, it silently
resumes the throne from which it
has been expelled, but which 1t
never abdicates. II bears no
blaaonry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue is more en-
chanting than the lily or the
roee. 1t yields no fruit, yet
should its harvest fail for u sin

TRIBUTE TO GRASS.
Senator John J. Ingalls, OF Kansas Was
A Painter OF Words.

Men W h o studied political
questions a decade ago still re-
member the name Of John j,
Ingalls,. In the United States
Senate he hated the South with
as much bitterness as Charles
Sumner or Thaddeus Stephens.
Again and again he reached for
high place as a statesman, but it
all ended in defeat; just as every
man ends who misses his calling,
1t is not extravaganza to say that
Ingalls, was poet as true as ever
breathed the ozone of heaven,

ONE.ARMED PRINTER.
Adversely And Misfortune Have Not
SOured His Disposition.

j. E. Haynes, an old school
printer, and one Of the most
unique characters on the road,
drifted into the Post Dispatch
Office last Monday. Few men
handicapped in the battle Of life
as is Jack Haynes would retain
the sunny disposition and the re-
markable degree Of contsntment
that is his. He has but one arm
(the left,) having lost the other
% years ago in a railroad acci.
dent. Yet he manages to get up
a considerable "string" during
the day. Mr.. Haynes is also a
hopeless cripple, his left hip be-
ing fractured at Mena some ten
years ago and never properly re,
set. Yet suffering and adversely
have not soured his disposition
or hardened his nature. And
with cheerful confidence and
hearty good nature he looks the
world in tho face, and asks but
the opportunity to earn an hon
est living. He is 55 years old, a
remarkable man, a philosopher,
and doubtless when for him the
call Of "30" is at last In he can
present the Great Foreman as
clean a proof as many a double-
armed, footed "comp' who
went through life with half his
trials and twice his complaints.

ASKED TO INDICT.
Circuit Judge Grace Attacks LynChers
And DenOunCes Mob Law.

In his charge to the grand jury
at Pine Bluff last week Circuit
Judge A. B. Grace asked for the
indictment of the men who
lynched negro at that place a
few days ago. He said in part:
"The women of today don't
fear murder, but the white wom-
en- of the South live in a constant
fear of terror that some black
brute might attack them. The
crime Of assault is not a white
mans vice. 1t seems to be
principally among the illiterate
negroes.
"There has arisen in the south
a feeling that the law is not to be
depended upon. In pioneer days
Cnero was an excuse 10 carry the
law upon the hip, when there
were no officers to protect, but
there is no necessity for it now.
If mob law and violence were
t,lerated as in pioneer days
there would be no protection for
any man or the home Every
man sympathizes with the victim
Of this case. The white mans
blood boils when the honor OF
our women is attacked. But we
cannot let our sympathies carry
US away. |, as sworn officer,
and you as a citizen, have a du-
ty to perform and for the protec-
ton of the law and the commun-
ity we must perform it without
fear or favor"

Circuit Judge A. B. Grace OF
Pine Bluff says he will bring to
Justice the members of the mob
that lynched a negro at that
town last week. The negro en-
tered the room of 16-year-old
white girl and attempted to as
sau!t the young woman. Judge
Grace is saved the trouble OF
bringing the negro to justice,
and if lynching is ever justifiable,
Iit is iustifiable in such cases as
this.
