Yen, proudly they stand in their spendid array,
In n tall, giaat, brotherhood form;
Undimmed by the passing of ages away,
Defying the wrath of die storm.
But, where is the red hian who loved their
sweet shade,
Whoso domain the broad ocean gave hound?
His footprints are here 'and the cabin he made,
But the brave in not here to be fonnd !
His nrrpw Was futfe., his step light nnd free,
And his heart feared no danger to brave;
His friendship was true, though revengeful
was he,
And a coimseior oiocpicni, grave.
But his bow lies unurung?Ah! never again
Will he bend it, bis country to save;
The white man to combat, came armed o'er
the main,
And the red man lies low in his grave.
And where is his grave? Can the pale face declare,
"Will the Coitqucror's monument show?
Where battle raged liereely-it is there, it is there!
The red man uuhnnored below!
And the silence that reigns in his l?den is deep;
Arc the forest trees mourning the brave?
For they stand sad and silent above his cold
sleep,
Dike mourners around a dark grave.

In Piehmon ! Ya., while the bells were:
sending forth their joyous peals and tips

and in the very temple of justice, a crutt
and cowardly murder was perpetrated

About one o'clock today Henry
A ikinsonv' CotpnVonw;(j|i; lrs^norne\f of
Henrico county, upon entering the (irund
Jury' room of the county Court House,
corner of Twenty second and Main.street,
was appalled to discover the body of Coll;
G. A. -pdulding, a well known member
of the Bar of this .State, sitting stiff hi
(loath upon one of the court room benches.
Kvery surrounding appearance tend ? 1 to
the conclusion that a wilful and premed
itated murder had been committed. The
deceased was a man of considerable legal
attainments. During the war he oc cupied
the position of lieutenant colonel in the
Confederate cavalry, and served with
distinguished gallantry in many of the
most memorable battles of the war. Ot
late Col. Spauldir.g has iV.l.n in very
ba?l habits of dissipation, and was almost
continually drunk, thought be was never
known to offend any one, and goncrally
sought this room, which was rarely kept
locked, as, a refuge in which to sleep off
bis deep potations.
He was last sten on Wednesday, and
it seems he that night sough this customa
ry refuge in the court room. The mur
derer must have crept in through a back
window and struck Spaulding a mortal
blow with some dull weapon, like a heavy
cane. His skull was crushed open, and
the blood had flowed out n great quan
tities, covering the entire ace and mak
ing a considerable pool upon the floor.
At t he time of being struck be was seated
on a bench in a corner, and the deadly
blow prevented him from rising or front
moving mora than outstretch one arm,
which fell paralyzed at his side and rest
ed against the bench.
There were no evidences jonny strug*
g'.c having taken place Spaulding was
not known t; have had an enemy in the
world. The Coroner this evening em
panelled it jury of inquest and removed
the body to the city Morgue, when to
morrow a full andsenrchingi.nvcstigation
into the facts bearing upon the case will
be made.

AbrAit six o'clock in tho morning a
colored stevedore, who wns to take tho
ballast from the German barkantino
Adolph, went to the oid Wilmington und
Wcidpn depot warf, at Wilmington, Del.
w here the Adolph was lying,and, finding
no one up on board the vessel, he aroused
the male, who was sleeping in the cabin,
and signified his readiness to proceed to

(he forccaslle and was at once compelled
to liave, as the gas was suffocating. En
terjuc? ni'ain in n few minutes, he found
tw< of the men dead in their bunks, and
three others with the spark of life nearly
extinct. One of the men, the carpenter,
wan found out of his bunk on the floor,
where it is supposed he fell while attempt
ing to make his way out < f his sleeping
ajiartnicnt.
#AssistaiKC was immediately enlled.and
tffi? three men who were yet alive were
Jtft*ken out and placed on deck, to receive
|sl the benefits of Iresh air. While the
ttyo dead men were being cut front their
winks messengers were dispatched for
physicians, and in a very lew minutes
-!iur physicians were by the side of the
ill fortunate men and doing all in their
*i>wcr to relievo them. "
I Before the physicians arrived the cook

fortunates who were taken out alive.died
- Upon ex .munition of the stove in the
galley, which is separated from the sen
men's bunks by only n thin board parti
tion, a very large crack was discovered
across the top, and it is supposed that the
ga>scvolv?d from the burning coal es
caped through it, and worked its way
through the cracks,scums and crevices of
the partition iiito the forecastle.
The vessel left Richmond about one
week ago. While in port there a supply
of the Itichinoiitl coal, which is bitumin
ous, was laid in, and bud been used since
the departure of the vessel. The men
were all very much fatigued. The vessel
had lenken on the voyage from Hichniond
to this port, and the erewAvere compleio
Iy worn out b\ their labors before retiring.
It is supposed that for some purpose the
cook went into t he galley and kindled the
coal lire, unaware of thi danger front th-H
effects of the gas in a close room.

Ghoap Gate.
The old practice of buihling.farm gates
with heavy four-by fourscantling for posts
and end pi ccs, and oak board riveted
together, tenanted, etc., causing an ex
pense of from $o to So a gate, and an
everlasting trouble to keep the gate, when
hung, from swugging?1 long since aban
doned. As a substitute, and as forming
a gate has never sagged for ten year, 1
lake five pieces of inch board, each ten
feet long, (.or eight inches wide for the
bottom sttip, and each of the others four
inches wide for one end upright, and one
piece eight inches wide for the end piece
where the hinges ought to be. These
strips arc four feel long, that being high
enough for any gnt^o for ordinary pur
poses. Now lay down your Piid picees;
then place tho eight inch wide and ten
feet long.-trip for the bottom; nail it at
each end to the upright with wrought
nai's. Now Sake three* of the four inch
wide strips and lay lliom oh parallel with
the bottom one, dividing tho spaces so as
to leave four inches cctivcen tho lower
two boards, and six inches each space be
tween tho upper jihs; nail as before.
Now turn tho gate over, ami take the re
maining strip, lay it at an anjglofrotn the
bottom, nt the hinge end to tho top of the
large end; cut it so that it will fit in and
lay close to tin' long strips; nail it. Now
hang the gate with strong hinges, and
you have a ^atc that is light ami will not

cuttle us one made by tin; joiner, and
costing as named above, from to ?0.
Any person can put tognthor mid hang
the above named gato in two hours. Tho
above plan of a gato is certainly very
simple, but we have seen some in this
vicinity that we prefer. In theso tho
whole gate is made of inch boards from
three and a half to four inches wide, two
pieces being tor the hinge post, live foet
long, and the same for the latch post, with j
a single piece to be placed ut two-thirds
of the distance of spucc from bingo to
latch post, properly braced and all put
together with bolts and taps to screw up.
The advantage of the bolt over the
wrought nail is that if any part of the
gale should get' broken, by unscrewing
the taps and taking the bolts out, any
part can be lenewed without doing injury,

The widow Ciepin was a washerwoman
at Vanvca (Department of the Seine).
Her husband bad died during thp Com
| mune; she bud but one child left often,
a boy six years of age. These losses had
reduced her to a state of nervous depres
sion. She was constantly in dread of
losing her employment, and, indeed, hav
ing been fcized with illness, ran into
debt, and, at length, was toldA by her
landlord, to whom she owed three quar
ters rent, that she must leave her lodging.
She then resolved to put an end to her
own Hlb and that of her child; and, hav
ing dressed herself and the little boy in
j their best, clothes, lighted two braziers of
charcoal, lay down with the child and
awaited death. '1 he little fellow died in
the middle of the night, but tbo mother
could not die. When she found that she
was alone in the world, she lit more char
coal and now felt confident of approach
ing release; but hour after hour posscd
by, and she still lived. She kept the
neighbors away on the plea of illness for
thirty-six hours after the child's death,
und then, worn out by the horror of her
position, let them in, and showed them
the corpse of her son. The unhappy
woman was tried for the murder of the
child, but the jury were so overcome with
pity for her sufferings, that forgetful of
of their mnsox d'etre, they acquitted
her, in absolute disregard of the potent
fact that sho . bud taken her son's life.
This verdict is described by a French,
journal as "merciful justice."
Cloths on Fire. ]
Three persons out wf four would rush
light up to the burning individual and
begin to paw with their bands without
any definite aim. It is useless to tell the
i vielem to do this or that to call for water.
I In fact, ?t is generally brst not to say t?
J word, but to seize a blanket from the bed
for any woolen fabric?if none is at hand,
take any woolen material?bold the cor
ners as, far apart as yon can, nnd stretch
them out higher than your bead, and
running boldly to the person, muke a
motion of clasping'in the arms; mostly
about the the shoulders;?This instantly
smothers the fire and saves the face. The
next instant throw the person on tho floor.
This is an additional safety to the face
and any remnant of (lame can be put out
more leisurely. The next instant immerse
the burnt part in cold water, and all pain
will cease with the rapidity of lightning.
Next get some common fiour, vetnovo,
from the water, and cover the burnt parts
with an inch in thickness of flour, if pos
sible; put the patient to bed nnd do all
that is possible to soothe, until the phy
sician arrives. Let the flour, lcmain
until it falls off itself, when a beautiful
new skin can be found. Unless the
burns are (Jeep, no other application* are
needed. The dry flour for burns is the.
most admirable remedy ever proposed,
and the information ought to be ini par ted
to all. Tbo principle of its action is,
that liko water, it causes instant ami per
fect relief from pain by totally excluding
all tin air from tho injured parts.?
Scientific American.
Lookixc Into Death's Eyes.?The
power of the eye is most strikingly illus
trated by the fact that when two bodies
of infantry meet in a charge of bayonets,
the front'rank, on one bide or the other,
almi st. invariably gives way directly the
bayonets arc crossed; that is, before the
cold steel enters the body of either party.
The front ranks give way, the rear ranks
are generally broken, and a rout ensues
The dreadful passion and fixed resolve
in the eyes of tbo front rank on one side
overpowers that of their antagonist,
whose hearts fail before them. Calcula
tions have, been made to supersede this,
by 'lie order that each soldier's bayonet
shall not take the man directly in front
of him in the enemy's ranks, but the next
man to the left. A systematic mutuality ? *
of reliance was thus provided for,and the
effect of the enemy's eyes superseded. It
was a horribly clever idea. But in vain;
the eye of the weaker will only shimmer,
and wavers betweeu tho two?'trembles
for the midriff?and no doubt gives the; I I
preference to the man whoso bayonctpoint
is within a few iuebej of tho JV&tE ani^ f
leu. Between tho two le generally fails,,
or takes to flight. Tho siuglc-mindcd
glare of the devil of war reflects the pre
valent horror of the cold steel-point. It
is remarkable, on examining the doad*>*?*
bodies on a field of battle,'aft.:r there has

in t hat event, if the people have a fair
