WEDNESDAY, - OCTOBER 10^1877,
TIIE FAIRV WORM).
Ladies and gentlemen of mortal mold,
1 am come in haste from Fairy World:
I've skimmed ever land* and ieaped over
* lakes,
I've hurried ahead for year own sweet sake.
To let von know a wonderful thing,
The Fairies are coming with Queen nd King !
They are coming on palfreys of lily like
white,
In chariots that gleam in silver bright;
They will ride on the clouds and float in the
breeze.
They leap from the mountains and sail o'er the
seas:
They’re coming to gladden and greet you to
night.
To give you an hour of chasteste delight.
With songs and with scenes and with Fairy
land play.
To beguile the dull time and drive care away,
And then back again where all Fairies stay.
TENDERNESS.
Not unto every heart is God's good gift
Of simple tenderness allowed : we meet
With love in manv fashions when we lift
First to our lips life’s waters bitter-sweet.
Love comes upon us with resistless power
Of curhless passion, and with headstrong
will j
It plavs around like April’s breeze and shower,
Or calmly flows, a rapid stream, and still.
It comes with blessedness niito the hearty
That welcomes it aright, of bitter fate !
It wrings the bosom wit i so tierce a smart,
That love, we cry. is craeler than hate.
And then, ah me! when love has ceased to
bless
Our broken hfiarts cry out for ten lemons -
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us, lying on onr mother’s breast;
A selfless feeling, that no pen nor tongue
Can praise aright, since silence sings it best;
A love, as far removed from passion’s heat
As from the dullness of its dying tire ;
A love to lean on when the failing feet
Begin to totter and the eyes to tire.
Xn youth’s brief heyday hottest love we seek ;
The reddest rose we grasp—but when it dies
God grant that later blossoms, violets meek,
May spring for us beneath life’s Autumn
skies 1
God grant some loving one he near to bless
Our wearv way with simple tenderness I

THE MWOKD OF SEMMKB.
nr r. o. tioksob.
The billows plnnged like steeds that bear
The Knights with foamy crests;
The sea-winds blare like bugles, where
The Alabama rests.
Old glories from th.ir splendor mists
Salute with pomp, and hail
The sword that held the ocean-lists
Against the world in mail;
And down from England’s stoned hills.
From purple slopes of France,
The old bright wine of valor fills
The chalice of romance.
For this was honor’s tourney-space,
The tilt-yard of the sea,
The battle-path of kingly wrath
And kinglier courtesy;
And down the deep, m sunless heaps,
The gold, the gem, the pearl,
In one broad blaze of splendor, belt
Old England like an earl.
And there they rest, the princeliest
Of earth's regalia gems—
The star-light of onr Southern cross,
The sword of lUpiiael Hkwmes.
And that gr< at glaive which Autiiur gave
In guerdon to the sea—
Eicalibnr, that sleeps below
Until the groat sea-bugles blow
The summons of the free.
TIIE NON-SECTIONAL MAN.
\From. the tit. Lewis Journal.]
1 met an honest little lad,
As down the street I hied —
"Now tell me, boy, if eke you can,
Where Bascom dolh reside."
"In sooth I can, my gentle sir,"
The honest lad replied ;
"Proceed due North and soon you’ll come
To where he doth reside.”
"You speak seme words I ken not of,”
My dainty youth I cried,
“Now tell me in our modern speech
Where Basoom doth reside.”
“I know not North. I know not South-
Such torms do ill betide—
The North is South, the South is North,
The West the East, beside.”
"Good master,” quoth the gasping youth,
"Yon surely do doride."
"Nay, foolish boy, I apeak the truth,’
Astonished, I replied.
"Lo, from the South the north winds blows,
And eke the rising tide
That splashes on onr Eastern shores
Laves all the Western side.
The snows do fall on Southern soil
And on the prairies wide—
The cotton on the Northoru plains
Is now the Northman’s pride.
There is no North, there is no South—
These terms have long since died !
The North is South, the South is North,
The West the East, beside.
Now toll me, reconstructed boy—
Nor think that I deride—
Aye, tell ms in our modern speech
Where Bascom doth reside.”
"Good mastor. turn yo to the West
And Oil tlio Eastern side.
Ailown the Northern path, due South
Two blocks, lio doth reside.”
I did his bidding, loyal I!
Then sat mo down and cried,
i wot the speech was much at fault,
Or else that boy had lied.
TIIE COMMUNIST CITIZEN.
Ami How Ills Hrelhron Applied Ike lloclrlns,
“ Properly is Tliefl."
It was a worthy citizen
And ch ef of the commune,
Was sitting, lone, despondent,
In a busted beer saloon,
Singing to himself a dismal song
To a melancholy tune.
And he sang : “ Kegard my blaekeuod eyes ;
Behold this swollen nose.
I smart and ache from wounds as well,
That 1 mar not disclose
Further that this— they are not in front.
Anil wero inflicted by toes.
" My fell ambition lured mo on
Au orator to be.
And eke a leader unto those
Wliosewatch words are tho throe
Familiar words, whereof the first
Is it not ‘liberty ?’
In beer I dealt as well as blood-*
1 made the business pay ;
Clattered the glasses ceaselessly,
From dawn till twilight gray ;
Nineteen good kegs of beer I drew
With my red right hand each day.
"For ‘starving working men’ somehow,
in workless soasons drear.
If not wherewith to feed their wives
And clothe their children dear.
Can always flue the money for
Their whisky or their beer.
"Enthusiast, idler, rnflian—all
Took hitherward their wings
To reconstruct society
Without 'en priests or kiugs,
To anarcliize all government j
And generally smash things.
"Ami talk bred thirst, and thirst made trad*
Till I. the Communist, I
Who urged the massacre of all
In riches who exist.
Became myself what I would call
A ’bloated capitalist.'
"Two thousand dollars I had here,
A singly hour ago ;
•A goodly pile.' said I with a smile,
‘For a Communist to show,
W ho brands all Property as a crime
And is Capital's deadly foe.”
“Twaa late a; and I alone, when in
Came stout Communists three.
'Ho, Citizen, down with the kings. ,
And priests and society ;
Hurrah for Liberty. Fratern
ity and Equality !
"Craw and set up for ns the beer
In white and amber flood ; i
Brink deep—Ah ! that I thus might quaff
Some crowned usurper’s blood.
And grind hie corpse with my red tight heel !
In the burning city’s mud. j
"All Dru are brothers, all property’s theft ;
W hat’s mine belongs to thee.
And what thou hast thou must divide l
With us, thy brothers three :
Hurrah for Liberty. Fratern
ity and Equality 1”
"'Amen I .' I cried in rapture , ‘that
Is the creed of creeds for me :'
•Fill high the mug with Samian beer.'
Cned those Communists three :
And they drank nine rounds to the reforma- i
1 ion of society.
"Then they turned to go. I said. ‘Citizons,
Lend me your right ear.
That part of your duty you’ve forget
To me its very clear.
Before yon go what I want to know
Is—who pays for that beer ?
• Then our stont Communist locked the door
And one put out the light.
And the third and stoutest clutched my throat
Iu his brawny lingers tight ;
'Traitor.’ he hissed, as he smote my nose,
‘lf the Communist cieed be right—
‘lf property's theft, how darest thou ask
Onr cash for thy bloated beer ?
Ho. my comrades two, let us go through
This squirming renegade here.
Who is false to the faith each Communist
Should above all else hold dear.’
"They stole my money, they robbed my till.
They stove my beer kegs in ;
They smashed ths glasses, they broke the
chairs.
They pummelled me like sin.
Came officers none, for they thought that one
Of our meetings was raging within.
"At last I swooned and they left me. Not
One cent did they fail to take.
I lay prone and senseless, cut and bruised.
In a beery, bloodv lake.
A quivering island of agony
A continent of ache.
"Which is how I came by these blackeued
eyes
And by this bloody nose ;
Why I ache and smart from wounds as well.
That I mav not disclose
Farther than this—they are not in front
And were inflicted by toes.

GEN. SKOBELEFF AT PLEVNA
CHARGING THROUGH FOG AND
SMOKE ON THE TURKISH RE
DOUBT.
One of the Moat Callant Actions of the War
Vividly Described The Fiahtiug Joe
Hooker of Kossia—Wasted Heroism.
[From the London Daily News.]
Left Wixg, Loytcha Road, Septem
ber 12.—1 will now relate the events
which occurred on the Russian extreme
left, commanded by Prinoe Meritinsky
and Gen. Skobeleff. While the battle
was raging in front and to the left of
me, it raged with uo less fury round the
redoubts and on the other side of the
Loftcha road, but, up to the moment of
the second repulse of Krilofl’, Skobeleff
had not yet made his assault. He had
well prepared the ground, however. At
four o’clock he had brous ht down twen
ty pieces of artillery to the spur of the
ridge overlooking Plevna. Not more
than a thousand yard# distant from the
redoubt I saw an immense volume of
smoke rising, and beard a terrible thun
der, which was not more than five or six
hundred yards away on my left. Skobe
lefi, risking his artillery in this advanc
ed position, was determined to make a
desperate effort to capture the redoubt
in front of him.
Tho redoubt Skobeleff was attacking
was a doable redoubt in the bend of the
Loftcha road, down near Plevna. He
had advanced his troops down the slope
of the mountain to within easy range.
As the Tuffife immediately opened fire
upon him from the redoubt, he returned
the fire with steadiness and precision,
putting his men under cover as much as
possible, his cannon pouring a steady
stream of shell and canister into the le
doubt as well. For three hours he kept
up this fire, and just after KrilofTs sec
ond repulse, the Turkish fire having
somewhat relaxed, dominated by the
Russian, he thought the moment had
come for making tho assault. He had
four legiments of the line, and four
battalions of sharpshooters. Still keep
ing up his murderous fire, he formed
under its cover two regiments, the Vlad
imirski and the Zoozolski, in the little
hollow at the foot of the low hill on
which was built tho redoubt, together
with two battalions of sharpshooters,
not more than twelve hundred yards
from the scarp. Then, placing himself
iu the best positiou for watching the
result, he ceased fire and ordered the
advance. Ho ordered the assailing party
not to fire, and they rushed forward
with their guns on their shoulders, with
music playing and banners flying, aud
disappeared in the fog and smoke. Sko
belelf is the only General who places
i himself near enough to feel the pulse of
battle.
The advancing column was indis
tinctly seen, a dark mass in the fog and
smoke. Feeling, as it were, every throb
of the battle, he &aw this line begin to
waver and hesitate. Upon the instant
he hurled forward a rival regiment to
support, and again watched the result.
This new force carried the mass further
on with its momentum, but the Turkish
redoubt flamed and smoked, and poured
forth such a torrent of bullets that the
line was again shaken. Skobeleff stood
in this shower of balls unhurt. All bis
escort were killed or wounded, eveD to
the little Kirghiz, who leceived a bullet
in the shoulder. Again ho saw the lino
hesitate and waver, and he flung his
fourth and last regiment, the Libausky,
on the glacis. Again this new wave
carried the preceding ones forward until
they were almost on the scarp; but that
deadly shower of bullets poured upon
them; men dropped by hundreds, and
the result still remained doubtful. The
line once more wavered and hesitated.
Not a moment was to bo lost, if the re
doubt was to be carried.
Skobeleff had now only two battalions
of sharpshooters left, the best in his de
tachments. Putting himself at the head
of these, he dashed forward on horse
back. He picked up the stragglers ; he
reached the wavering, fluctuating mass,
and gave it the inspiration of his own
courage and instruction. He picked the
whole ma3 up, and carried it forward
with a rush and a cheer. The whole re
doubt was a mass of flame and smoko,
from which screams, shouts and cries of
agony and defiance arose, with the deep
mouthed bellowing of the cannon, and,
above all, the steady, awful crash of
that deadly rifle fire. SkobelefTs sword
was cut iu two iu the middle. Then a
moment later, when just on the point of
leaping the ditch, horse and man rolled
together to the ground, the horse dead
or wounded, the rider untouched. He
sprang to his feet with a shout, then
with a formidable, savage yell, the whole
mass of men streamed oyer the ditch,
over the scrap aud oounterscrap, over
the parapet, and swept into the redoubt
like a hurricane. Their bayonets made
short work of the Turks still remaining.
Then a joyous cheer told that the re
doubt was captured, and that at last one
of the defenses of Plevna was in tho
hands of the Russians.
Skobeleff seems to be the only one
among the Russian Generals who has
studied the American war with profit.
He knows it by heart; and it will be
seen by those who have studied the
great civil war that, iu 4hia assault,
Skobeleff followed tfie plau of the
American Generals on both sidps when
attempting to csrry sucli positions, to
follqw up the assaulting polumn with
fresh troops, without waiting for the
first column to be repulsed. If the po
sition proves too strong for the first
column, then reinforcements are at
hand before they have time to break
and run.
Skobeleff had the redoubt. The ques
tion now was how to hold it. It was dom
inated by tho redoubtjof Krishina, on
the left, already spoken of. It was ex
posed at the Plevna side to the fire
the sharpshooters, and \o the ’Turkish
forces [n the [ydod bordering (he Sofia
road, and to the open fire' of tfcP en
trenched pamp. Them a cro y s fire
coming from three different poiutg. At
daylight next morning the Turks open
ed fire from all sides. The distance
from the redoubts nt Krishina had, of
course, been accurately measured, and
the guns dropped shells into the re
doubt with the utmost precision on the
exposed sides. The back of the redonbt
was a solid rock, on which it was im
possible to erect a parapet- AU the
earth had been used ior the construc
tion of the parapets oh the other side.
It was evident that the position was un
tenable unless the c ; >mp pn
the ptffe[ Bjqff of a hd Ih o srishi
na redoubt could be retaken. Skobeleff
renewed his demand for reinforcements
made the evening before,
At sunrise the Turks began an attack
upon the captured redoubt, and the
storm, of battle again rifged with fury
here, while all was quiet everywhere
else. The desperate attack of the
Turks was repulsed. Another attack
was made, anotaer renylge: and_ this
jilt gay Jong tjntU 'the Turks
had aftaeffed and been beaten five suc
cessive times. The Russian losses were
becoming fearful. Gem Sffobeieff had
lest, he tninKs, u.Ornj men m attacking
the redoubt. By the afternoon he had
lost 3,000 more in holding it, while his
battalions shrivelled up and shrank away
as if by magic. One battalion of sharp
shooters had been reduced to 160 men.
A company which had been 150 was now
|O. An immense proportion of officers
ivere kiiled. unly one uouiuiancier of a
regiment is alive; scarcely a head of a
battalion is left. Two officers of the
staff are killed, one of whom was Verast
chagin, brother of the great artist.
4nother brother was wounded. Gen.
Dobrovolsky, commander of sharp
snooieriSi yas killed. One officer was
blown to pieces by tfie explosion of a
caisson. Capt. Kurapatkfn, chief of the
staff, standing beside this offioer, had
his hair singed, and suffered a severe
contusion, Gen. Skobeleff' himself
remainpd' unt M acued. Mo' seems to
bear a charmed life. He visited
the redoubt three oj four times
during the day, encouraging the
soldiers, telling them help would
soon arrive. Plevna would soon be
taken; victory would soon crown their
efforts; telling them it was the final, de
cisive blow struck for their country; for
the honor glory of the Russian arms;
and they always replied with the same
oheery shouts, while their numbers were
dwindling away by hundreds. He again
and again sent for reinforcements, and
again and again informed the G^- man .
der .uai. cne position was un
tenable. The afternoon wore away, and
no reinforcements came. Gen. Levitsky,
as I have been informed, formally re
fused reinforcements, either because he
thought the position, in spite of Gen.
SkobelefTs representations, was tenable,
or because he had no reinforcements to
give. Gen. Kriloff, on his own respon
sibility, the regitant of a regiment
whieh had attacked the redoubt, which
I saw rush forward and then back
through that Indian corn-field. Of the
2,500 there were barely 1,000 left, so it
was utterly incapable of going into ac
tion that day; and even this regiment
arrived too late.
General Skobeleff had left the redonbt
at 4 o’clock to go to his tent on a woody
hill opposite. He had been there scarce
ly an hour when he was informed that
the Turks were again attacking the right
flank on the Lovcha road, immediately
above Plevna. He galloped forward to
see, and was met by an orderly with the
news that the Turks were also attacking
the redoubt for the sixth time. He
dashed forward toward the redoubt in
hopes of reaching it in time, btR was
met by a stream of his own men flying
back. They were exhausted by forty
eight hours’ incessant fighting, and were
worn out, hungry and dying of thirst
and fatigue. Owing to the inactivity of
the Russians during the day, the Turks
had been enabled to collect an over
whelming force, which had made one
last desperate effort and had succeeded
in driving the Russians ont. One bas
tion was held to the last by a young
officer, whose name I regret I have for
gotten, with a handful of men. They
refused to fly, and were slaughtered to
the last man.
It was just after this jthat I met Gen.
Skobeleff, the first time that day. He
was in a fearful state of excitement and
fury. His uniform was covered with
mud and filth; his sword broken; his
Cross of St. George twisted round on his
shoulder ; his face black with powder
and smoke; his eyes haggard and blood
shot, and his voice quite gone. He
spoke in a hoarse whisper. I never be
fore saw such a picture of battle as he
presented. I saw him again in his tent
at night. He was quite calm and col
lected. He said, “I have done my beet ;
I could do no more. My detachmeut is
half destroyed; my regiments do not
exist; I have no officers left; they sent
me no reinforcements, and I have lost
three guns.” “Why did they refuse you
reinforcements? Who was to blame?” “I
blame nobody,” he replied. “It is the
will of God.”
THE FASTEST ON RECORD.
Great Eastern, Under tlie Saddle, Trots a
.Hite In 2:15 3-4. Yet Does Not Win.
[New York Sun.]
Hundreds of turfmen assembled in
Fleetwood Park yesterday aft rnoon to
witness the great trot for $2,000, Mr.
Charles Green haviDg offered two weeks
ago to trot, and name at the post, a
horse, to go as he pleased, against John
Splan’s famous trotter Barns in harness.
Green’s horse proved to be Great East
ern, under saddle. Green’s horse
proved to be Gieat Eastern, un
der saddle. The track was in
splendid condition. Among the promi
nent horsemen present were David Bon
ner, Charles Backman, Shepherd F.
Knapp, Edward Kearney, Win. H. Van
derbilt, Seaman Letchenstein, Alfred
Richmond, S. Foster Dewey, ex-Com
missioner Kelso, Allen Bonner, Wm.
Griswold, Charles Kimpland, Ed Gil
more. Fast time was anticipated and
realized, Great Eastern trotting in 2:15f,
the fastest on record to saddle, beating
May Bird’s time by four seconds, which
was the fastest mile ever trotted hereto
fore in Fleetwood Park. May Bird’s
time to saddle was 2:19j. The specta
tors were perfectly wild when tho time
of the heat was announced. Promptly
at two o’clock the judges rang the bell.
Charles Green appeared on the bay geld
ing Great Eastern, apd John Splan was
behind Rarus. Before starting Rarus
was the favorite by SIOO to S3O for Great
Eastern.
First Heat—There was a good send
off in the first attempt, Rarus taking the
lead. Great Eastern went in the air at
the turn. Rarus trotted steadily past
the quarter in 36} seconds, being four
lengths in advance. Splan was ready
for desperate work, bat Great Eastern
kept breaking. Rarus passed the half
mile in 1:14, leading three lengths.—
Splan made no effort to send Rarus
along the rest of the heat and crossed
the score on a jog, taking the heat by
one length iu 2:33.
Second Heat—The betting was the
same. When the horses got the word
Great Eastern had a little the best of it.
At the turn he broke. At the quarter,
seconds, Rarus was leading by oue
length. At the half-mile post, in i:o7},
Rarus still maintained his lead by three
quarters of a length. Around the lower
turn Great Eastern closed the gap at
every stride, and passed Rarus while
swinging into the liome-stretch. Rarus,
by fast trotting, nearly gained the lead,
Out Great Eastern took the lead, by a
head, in 2:18.
Third Heat—The horses were given a
long waiting spell before being brought
out again. At the first attempt they
got under way head and head, both
trotting fast. On the turn Great East
ern, with an extraordinary burst of
speed, led oue length at the quarter in
thirty-threo seconds. Going down the
back stretch both settled to business,
but Rirus could not take the lead.
Great Eastern passed the half-mile post
in 1:05J. On the home-stretch there
was an exoiting struggle. Splan, with
all the skill known to the profession,was
urging on Rarus, and Charlie Green
was seen lifting and shaking Great
Eastern. Every one saw that Rarus
was gaining ground inch by inch, but
the pace was too hot for him, and he
broke. Great Eastern, trotting with
wonderful speed, took the heat from
Rarus by five lengths in tho unparalled
time of making the fastest mile
ever trotted to saddle. Rarus trotted
the heat in 2:16}.
Fourth Heat —Great Eastern was now
the favorite. The word was given on
the third score, with Great Eastern lead
ing—an advantago that Charlie Green
was boimd to turn to good advantage.
Great Eastern passed by the quar
ter pole in thirty-two and a half sec
onds. Rarus was a length behind and
breaking. Down the back stretch the
positions were unebanped. Great East
ern passed the half-mile pqle one length
in front of Pams, iu which is the
fastest half lqile ever trotted. On the
lower turn, before reaching the three
quarter pole, Rarus made a double
break. Great Eastern drew away, and
at fhe fiead qf the stretch was sis lengths
in Rout. When Rarus caught his gait
he gradually gained on Great Eastern,
who broke. The horses went under the
wire head and head in 2:18-J. Tho
judges decided it a dead heat.
Fifth Heat—A great many said the
result of tho heat was a foregone conclu
sion, that Rarus would win the trot.
After the usual time the horses were
called. On the third attempt they start

ILLINOIS GIRLS OF THE PERIOD.
The Freak* l Two Student* of a Western
Female Seminary.
[Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Oxford, Ohio, was horrified last week.
Two girls, about sixteen and eighteen
years old, respectively, qttepcfipg the
VYesterq deft in ary,' became
Weary of leading a steady, studious,
sober life, and left fhp building that
would have guarded and kept them
from harm, silently, and without leave,
to explore the sinful world beyond.
They took neither money, food nor
clothes with them, but left all and went,
as the tramps go, depending upon the
cold charity of strangers. The first place
they stopped at and became conspicu
ous was College Corner, after spending
Sunday night in an old mill near Rising
Sun, iqr mile* U.o m fcJxforil. Here, by
marching up and down the streets, and
trying to flirt with her handsome lads,
they attracted general notice, and
oasued remarks to be made different
from those made of Caesar’s wife. The
lads being very bashful, and not sus
ceptible to their charms, they boarded
the train going toward Indianapolis. As
the distance” between them' and school
became greater, their actions became
more loud, and they were the observed
of all observers on tqg f;ain. When ashed
for teir tiuketa they Wd the conductor
that they were running away from
school at Oxford, and tha,s they had 110
money or friends. He, at Brownville,
put them in charge of the conductor on
the down traih, telling him their story,
who took charge of them and telegraph
ed the facts to Oxford. When train
arrived there tho girls, unsteady ip their
movements, alighted from the train and
tsood upon the platform, aetiDg and
talking very queer, and gathering a
largo erowd around them, many of whom
will swear that girls were “boozy.” |
T!le gentlemanly conductor of the ’tes j
line approached them „nd politely 1
asked tq ha permitted to take them j
back to school. But they very em
phatically told him to go to a warmer
region with his Seminary; they did not
care a for hell an’ all her an
gels !” He was completely bluffed, and
blushed for the first time in his life.
Proceeding up town on Main street they
acted like two Indian squaws under the
influence of juice. They soon disap
peared from observation, however, and ,
nothing further was heard from them j
until the next day, when a fanner’s lad j
came to town and asked for help to cap
ture two school girls who were running ;
in the woods two miles north of town, j
Two men returned with him, and the ,
two girls, hungry, tired and sorry, were I
lad captive back whence they had run j
away. Friends came forthem, and they 1
have departed sadd er if wiser, to j
their Illinois homes.
A Horse Slang lo Death by Bees.
[BooneciUe Eagle ]
At a meeting recently at New Concord
Church, a horse was hitched too near a
bumble bee’s nest. The bees attacked
him slightly at first, but as he charged
and plunged, attempting to get away,
they attacked him from all sides, until
the poor beast could stand it no longer.
He uttered shriek after shriek in his
agony, and then lay down and died.
