Move Old Landmark.

Move Old Landmark.
The old Bonner house, at Fayette-
vile, now owned by Mr.. George A.
Jarvis, is being moved for the second
time in its history, the lot on which
1t recently stood having been pur-
chased for the site of the federal post
office to be erected in the near fu-
ture. An interesting bit of history is
connected with this house, which is
one of the old landmarks of the town.
Forty years ago the house was moved
from the public square to the lot on
which it has since stood, and was oc-
cupied by DR.. Moses Bonner and fam
fly. While the house stood on the
square, Alec Greer, son of Joseph
Greer of Revolutionary fame, was mar
ried there to Miss Eliza Todd At the
time of the marriage the house stood
on the site uow occupied by George A.
Jarvis, one of the leading merchants
of the town. Mr.. Jarvis is a grandson
of Mrs. Greer and it is a peculiar co.
incidence that he Is doing business on
the spot where his grandmother plight
ed her wedding vows. Mr.. Jarvis is
now the owner of the old Bonner
house, which he occupied for several
years previous to the government pur- |
chase of the lot.
Another coincidence connected with
his house is that Mr. Cummins, who
IS experimenting the moving, is son
IF the man who moved the same house
some forty years ago. Many people
nave watched the moving of the old
residence, which is still in good state
II preservation, and will, In all prob
lbility, be used for number of years.

CHATTER v.
The Bird Behind BARS.


The most beautiful blue Irish eyes
in the world gazed out at the dawn
which turned night-blue into day-blue
and paled the stars. Rosal lay the I'M
dulating horizon, presently to burst in
to living fame, transmitting the dull
steel bars of the window into fairy
gold, that trick of alchemy so futilely
sought by man. There was window
at the north and another at the south,
likewise barred; but the Irish eyes
never sought these two. 1t was from
the east window only that they could
see the long white road that led to
Paris.
The nightingale was truly Gagged.
But the wild heart of the eagle beat
in this nightingale's breast, and the
eyes burned as fiercely toward the
east as the east burned toward the
west. Sunday and Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and Thursday, today;
and that the Eve dawns were singu-
lar in beauty and that she had never
in her life before witnessed the Gre
alton of five days, one after another,
made no impression upon her sense Of
the beautiful, SO delicate and receptive
ir ordinary times She was conscious
that within her the cup of wrath was
overlooking. OF other things, such as
eating and sleeping and moving about
in her cage (more like an eagle In
deed than a nightingale), recurrence
had blunted her perception.
ooh, but he shall pay, he shall pay!"
she murmured, striving to loosen the
bars with her small, white, helpless
hands. The cry seemed to be an ari-'
eta, for through all these four mad
dening days she had voiced it-now
low and deadly with hate. now full
toned in burning anger, now broken by
sobs OF despair. "Will you never
come, so that may tell you how base
and vile you are?" she further adj
dressed the east.
She had waited for his appearance
on Sunday. Late in the day one of the
jailers had Informed her that it was
impossible for the gentleman to come
before Monday. So she marshaled her
army Of phrases, OF accusations, of de-
nunciations, ready to smother him
with them the moment he came. But
he came not Monday, nor Tuesday,
nor Wednesday. The suspense was to
her mind diabolical. She began to un-
derstand; he intended to keep her
there till he was sure that her spirit
was broken, then he would come.
Break her spirit? She laughed wildly.
He could break her spirit no more
easily than she could break these
bars. To bring her to Versailles upon
an errand of mercy! Well, he was
capable of anything.
She was not particularly distressed
because she knew that it would not be
possible for her to sing again until the
following winter in New York. She
had sobbed too much, with her face
buried in the pillow. Had these sobs
been born of weakness, all might have
been well; but rage had mothered
them, and thus her voice was in q
very bad way. This morning she was
noticeably hoarse, and there was a
break in the arietta. No, she did not
fret over this side of the calamity. The
sting of it all lay in the fact that she
had been outraged In the matter of
personal liberty. with no act of re-
prisal to ease her immediate longing
to be avenged

cost of the road will therefore depend

under the direction Of the Office of
