A BALLAD OF ATLANTA.

A BALLAD OF ATLANTA.
BY S. H. NJ. Byers.
Around. Atlanta's walls we stood,
hundred thousand men,
For we had chased the tiger home. the
lion to his den;
A hundred bloody miles we'd chased
the lion to his den.
But now the fiery rebels held our SER
ried lines at bay.
With storm of lead and shot and shell
they held us all at bay;
They were no towards, that we
knew, the men who wore the
gray.
Two times they hurled their bravest
men on Thomas command.
Two times we hurled them back again
and fought them hand to hand;
1t was no little thing to fight such
brave men hand to hand.
But tired of fighting face to face a
craftier way they find,
Through darkness of the night they'll
march and storm our line be-
hind
Through twenty miles of woods
they'll march and strike our
lines behind
Hark. what is that our pickets hear at
breaking Of the day?
1t is no singing of the birds, it is a
louder lay;
The tramp of twenty thousand men
at breaking of the day.
The tramp Of twenty thousand men,
from out the woods they come,
We see the flashing of their blades, but
hear no warning drum;
We see their fifty waving flags, as
from the woods they come.
Right well they knew our weakest
point, Mcpherson is alone,
Far to our left, miie or more, and
all his troopers gone;
with such dreadful dawn?
And look, who rides along the lines,
and is the first to fall,
McPherson's self, there in the pines
they've killed him first of all;
The leader of SO many fights, the
knightliest one of all.
Now, now, it is the foeman's chance
Charge ont" we hear them cry
AS from the hidden brush and wood.
their shells come screaming
by;
One could have thought the worlt
itself was then about to die.
God, if the foemen crush us now
where then were all our host
The victors of a hundred fights wer,
beaten down and lost!
What land were worth the savin,
then at such fearful cost?
But look, in yonder heat and dust, anc
marching four by four,
w III dle LAS DlILlc-uuSIy OuSS WQf
hear the lannon's roar?
IT'S Dodge and his ten thousand
men-Sixteenth Army Corps.
Quick as a thunderbolt they crush up
on the foenan's head.
And grass that now was fresh and
green had turned to scarlet
And hot a Southern sun shines or
the faces OF the dead.
See, see along the line who rides
and waves his sword on high
'Tis Dodge, they know his battle
voice, Come on, they hear him
cry;
What though a thousand souls thai
hour must lay them down ant
die
Four times the rebels storm our lines
frightful hurricane,
Four times we trampled on their deat
and hurled them back again;
For every soldier fought as If 1t al
with him had lain.
Then all at once the shoutings cease
and bark the bugles sound;
Retreat we hear them call. IRE
treat" in all the forest round,
And dead and dying slept that nigh
upon the battle ground
A thousand years may come and e
and childrens sons will tell
Of Dodge's Sixteenth Army Corps an
how the foe1nen fell;
or greater deeds. of drawer deeds, n
story can they tell.

Milledgeyille, Ca, Oct. 17.-W1l-
liam (Old Bill) Minor and two other
prisoners at the State farm here

held up a Southern Railway train at
Gainesville, Ca, and blew the ex-
press safe and got a considerable sum
of money. He was captured and Civ
en- 20 years. He was wanted in
Washington State and British Co.
lumbia for train hold-ups.

TWO REsENTENCED TO HANG.
New Trial Denied Florence County
Men by Judge Prince.

Florence, Oct. 14.-Judge Prince,
in the court of general sessions here
to-day, refused to grant new trial
to William Burroughs and Alex Wei
don, the two negroes who were con-
victed for the killing of Mr.. Elihu
Moye, at his home at Ebenezer last
winter. The motion was made by
their attorney, Col. w. F. Clayton,
and a request by P. A. Wilcox, Esq.
Judge Prince took the matter under
advisement yesterday, and after In
vestigation decided that Burroughs
and Weldon had had a fair and i'm
partial trial.
They were resentenced to be hang
ed Friday, November 8, three weeks
from yesterday, the day on which
they appealed for a new trial. The
only hope for a stay of execution now
left these two men is at the hands OF
Gov. Blease, to whom Mr.. Clayton
will present a petition asking for ex-
ecutive clemency in their behalf.
There are many people in Florence
and Florence county who are OF the
opinion, and conscientiously so, that
the man who knew all about the kill
ing of Moye has paid the death pen
atty and that if Burroughs and Wei
don will suffer.

WIFE WHIPS CHORUS GIRL.
"Blacksnake'' Used on Woman as
Male Companion Flees.

Newport, KY, Oct. 15.-The little
village of South Gate was thrown
into excitement late last night, when
fashionably dressed woman, giving
the name of Mrs. Ellen Harrison, OF
Columbus, Ohio, attacked another
woman with large "blacksnake"
whip.
Mrs. Harrison, it is alleged, went
to Cincinnati yesterday to search for
her husband, who, she charges, de-
serted her and her son, eight years
old, for chorus girl playing at one
of the Cincinnati theatres. The search
led her to South Gate.
There she found the woman with
man she. thought was her hus-
band. Mrs. Harrison stepped from
the shadows, in which she had been
lurking, and began plying the lash
with vengeance.
The man did not stop to see what
was going on, but hit the high places
in a hasty retreat. The screams OF
the strange woman startled the quiet
villagers, but both assailant and as
sailed quickly disappeared.

THE TWO EVENING TRAINS.

The first train leaves at 6 p. m.
For the land where the sleeD-fow-
er grows,
The mother dear is the engineer,
And the passenger laughs and
crows.
The palace car is the mothers arms;
The whistle, a low, sweet strain !;
The passenger winks and mods and
blinks,
And goes to sleep on the train.
At 8 o. m. the next train starts
For the pleasant land afar;
The summons clear falls on the ear,
call aboard for the sleeping carl"
But what is the fare to this pleasant
land?
I hope it is not too dear;
The fare is this-a loving kiss
And it is paid to the engineer.
So I ask Him who the children took
On his knee is kindness great,
sTake charge, I pray, Of the trains
each day,
That leave at 6 and 8.
Keep watch DER the passengers,
thus pray,
"For they are very dear;
And have special ward, oh, gracious
Lord,
Ger the gentle engineer"

There are eight good reasons
why poultry should be raised on
every farm in Texas, cad in these
eight reasons there is not inclrd-
ed the one that there is a big de.
mand for poultry products, which
are of our most valuable food
products. The eight reasons fol-
low:
/. Because he may by their
means convert great deal Of the
waste of the farm into money in
the shape of eggs and chicNens
for market.
2. Because, with intelligent
management, they will be an all
year revenue producer, with the
exception of the moulting season
3. Because the manure from
the poultry house viii make val
liable compost for use either in
vegetable garden or orchard. The
birds themselves, if allowed to
run in plum or apple orchard,
will destroy all injurious insect
life.
T. Because, while cereals and
fruits can be successfully grown
in certain sections, poultry can be
grown in all parts of the colm-
try.
5. Because poultry raising is
an employment in which the
farmers wife or daughters may
engage, and leave the farmer free
to attend to other departments.
6. Because it will bring him
the best results in the shape %
fresh-laid eggs during the winter
season, when the farmer has the
most time on his hands.
7. Because the poultry will
yield him a quicker return for the
capital invested than any other
branch of agriculture. r.
s. Because to start poultry
raising on the farm requires lit
tie capital.-Fort Worth Star

Chauncey the Peach

When on April % next, Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew repairs to Peek
sill, n. Y, at which point the cit
liens annually give him birth
day party because Of his happen
ing to have been born among them
and to have retained their re
gard for the seventy-six years in
tervening, he will be a private
citizen, for his second and last
term in the senate comes to an
end on the fourth of March.
This birthday party given by
Senator Depew's townspeople is
for him one of the happiest days
of each year, because it shows
that the people back home still
think well of him. At it he al
ways makes one of his inimitable
after-dinner speeches, master
pieces of their kind, which each
year for twelve years has been
printed as a senate document as
compliment to their creator and
as a model to his associates.
Depew is known iauntily as
Chauncey the Peach even among
the rabble. No one will be missed
more than he, for there is no man
in the capital more popular. OF
course he will be seen at national
conventions, for there was never
a convention without Chauncey.
He has been a delegate TO every
one since somewhere back in the
time of Lincoln and he nominated
one Decentralization.
This is not the first time that
Dpew has gone into retirement.
The muclrakeFs were so unkind
TO him at the time of the insur
ance Investigations in New York
that he voluntarily retired 70 the
wilds of Virginia in broken
health. and il was then thought
that he would never come back
But the geniality and charm of
him wore away the sting, and his
popularity was soon as great as
ever. Now on a wave of demo
cratic supremacy. he has been |
again swept into the background
