OAK HILL CEMETERY.
Where Blaine, Stanton, jV, • n Howard
Payne and Others Are Buried.
The grave of that,mo*it niagnetio
of men in life, James G Blaine, is
visited perhaps more frequently
than any other at Oak Bill. These
visits are not made in an idly curi
ous spirit, but rather In the nature
pilgrimages to the last resting
I'l ace of a man who whs widely be
loved.

last year, and its removal
necessary*
It was rumored that Tor many
months Blaine’s grave had a mill
tary guard. It had no military
guard but a brave, solitary watcher
for three weeks of dark midwinter
nights in the person of Frederick
Sommerville, the superintendent of
the cemetery. “I carried a pistol in
each pocket and a gun on my shoul
der, and you know 1 am a Virgin
ian,” was Mr. Sommerville’s own
comment on the fultillvnent of that
memorable duty.
Walker Blaine rests at his father’s
side, and next to him Mrs. Coppin
ger, whose grave is marked by a
Celtic cross bearing a coat of arms
am! inscribed: “To the memory of
Alice Stunwood, daughter of Janies
G. Blaine, and wife of Colonel J. J.
Ooppinger, U. S. A. Born at Au
gusta, Me., March 18, I860. Died at
Washington Feb. 2, 1890.” In small
letters at tbe base of the cross are
the words, “This cross is erected by
her sorrowing husband. 1 »
A graceful simplicity marks all
three graves, which are devoid alike
of mounds and flowers. The closely
clipped grass grows thickly over all,
with an intermingling of clover in
| the shadow of the cross.
A granite shaft bearing on its face
the name of Stanton marks the grave
qf Lincoln’s secretary of war, tho
man who held that difficult post dur
turbulent , , . of civil strife,
tng the (lavs
One side of the shaft is inscribed,
“T 0 the memory of Ed win M. Stan
ton; boru Dec. 19, 1814; died Dec.
24,1869, and bis wife, Alice M- Stan
v&Ht oui’ii drpi, ir**
1873.” On another side of
the shaft is an inscription to an in
fant sou, James H. Stanton. The
three graves are covered with ivy of
au evergreen variety and are marked
j by small square gi'unite head and
foot stones.
Another illustrious secretary of
war whose fame ms a cabinet min¬
ister is largely identified with his
beautiful wife, John H. Eaton of
Tennessee, is also buired at Oak
Hill. A weather stained pyramidal
monument terminating in a broken
column states that he was horn
June 18,1790, and died Nov. 17,1865,
and that be was United States sena
tor from the state of Tennessee for
18 years, secretary of war, governor
of the state of Florida and minister
to the court of Madrid.
By his side rests his wife, the
never to be forgotten Peg O’Neil, the
embodiment of generous impulses,
daintily, bewitchingly beautiful,
with her queenly carriage, exquisite
ly poised head, scintillating eyes,
her laughter loving soul, and yet
i the object of the most intense social
jealousies that ever burned. Here
rest beauty, sorrow and triumphs,
while over all grow grass and Vio
lets in loving rivalry.
Near the entrance to Oak Hill, on
a circular plot covered with perj.
winkle, stands a pedestal of white
M j ou0 surmounted by tl marble bust
of John Howard Payne. The face
of tho pedestal is inscribed: “Iu
meniory of John Howard Payne, au
thor of ‘Home, Sweet Home. ’ Born
j une 0) 1791; died April 9, 1852. ”
On tlie reverse of the pedestal are
the words:
Sure when the gentle spirit fled
Trea i, u ^y„ndilm dome
^’’weiwme ?^b^vcn^H honmv sweet home."
The approach to the monument is
through an alley lined with palms
and ferns. At the time of his death
Payne was consul at Tunis.
It seems a strange fate that a man
whose inspired song of home has
touched and thrilled so many hearts
should have died and been buried in
a foreign land so remote from his
native shores.
In 1883 Mr. Corcoran had him
brought home aud erected in his
nemory tho above described rnonu

THE HORSE TRADERS.

I have been trading in the big

found out that the country horse

his own game,” said Frank Pome
; roy Kansas City - V v Your inno
cent farmer is not half so innocent
as he looks or pretends. This oon
elusion was forced on me while I
was attending a sale of horses on
county court day at one ot the best
known county seat towns in Mis
souri. I had gone there for tho pur
j pose of buying a number of horses
of certain quality for a customer in
; St. Louis. I wanted good looking,
1 gentle stock between the ages of 3
and 6 years, broke to both saddle
and harness. Twenty or more ani
male that met the requirements of
age and looks were trotted out be
fore me, but none of them did I 1
buy, because invariably when I ex- !
! pressed my satisfaction with one
something happened to mako me I
displeased with him. In each case
! I was assured by the owner when
! the animal was lirst brought out
for inspection that he was gentle
and easily managed, but when I ap
plied the test I found that just the
contrary was true. When the horses
that pleased my fancy were started
! out for a canter in order that I
might see their gait and style, they
| would begin to rear and pitch mad
! ly and try to throw their riders. I
thought, farmer’ of course, tried that deceive ‘the honest j
had to me and
congratulated myself on having
caught him at his trick. The own
ers appeared to be as badly sur
prised by the unexpected antics of |
tho animals as I was, but I, of
course, thought this was only a part j 1
of their little game. Several of
them piotested earnestly to me that
they could not understand why
their offerings were behaving so
badly, as at home they were go do.
cile and tractable that a child oould
ride or drive them anywhere.
I came back to St. Louis from
that sale empty handed. Not until
a week after did I learn the trick
beat me out of my purchases. I met
at the sales stables across the river |
one of the country horse traders I
had met at the county seat sale. He
laughed when he saw me and coolly
told of how he had put up a job on
me when I was in his town. Ho ex-1
plained that the horses I first select-1
Od and then refused to buy were iu
reality as gentle as their owners
had represented them to he, hut
that he and his partner had discov- |
ered a oliemical liquid which when
poured ou auy part of a horse’s an
atomy covered with hair would in
a few seconds after its application i
soak into the hide through the hair
pores and cause such intense pain
as would make the gentlest horse
pitch und rear like a wild pony
when first saddled. These rascals
found out that there was a demand j
for the horses I had selected and
concluded to beat me out of them so
they could buy them at a lower iig
ure than I had offered. They
sneaked around when the owners
were not looking and dropped this
liquid on each of my selection just
■ in time for the fluid to take effect
on the animal at a critical time. I
threw up my hands when this ex
planation was made and took off
my hat to the man who made it.”—

OUR FORBEARS AS BIBBERS
As a Kale They Deemed Water a Dan*
gerous Fluid.
The colonists in America suffered
much in the new world in the ear¬
liest days from water drinking.
Bradford, the pilgrim governor,
complained loudly, while Higgin
Bon, the Salem minister, boasted in
1029, “Whereas my stomach could
only digest und did require such
drink as was both strong and stale,
1 can and ofttimes do drink New
England water very well, As ho
died shortly after writing this, his
words do not carry their intended
force. One bold New Englander says
of water, “I dare not preferre this
before good beere, but any man
would choose it before bad beere,
wheay or buttermilk.”
Water drinking was held in spe¬
cial abhorrence in Virginia, for the
notion arose that the great mortal¬
ity among the early immigrants was
caused by the enforced use of water
at that time during the scarcity of
beer. Tho assembly in Idl'd recom
mended all newcomers to bring a
plentiful supply of malt, to be used
in brewing, and thus not be forced
to drink water “till the body became
hardened.” Earlier still, in 1609, in
the “true and sincere declaration, >1
issued by the governor and council,
brewers were asked tor.
Soon barley and hops were plen
tifully grown in Virginia, und it be¬
came no longer necessary to import
beer from England. In 1652 George
Fletcher obtained a monopoly in
Virginia for 14 years of brewing in
wooden vessels, Whether this affect
ed the progiess of brewing I do not
know,but soon it gradually declined,
as did the cultivation of barley,
The Virginia planters quickly dis
oovcicd the adaptability of the per
sim uiun for beer by making and
baking cakes of the fruit and then
brewing from these cakes. They
brewed beer from dried Indian corn,
from potatoes, from pumpkins, from
bran and molasses and from green
stocks of maiz^chupped and mashed.
They planted tho Jerusalem arti¬
choke like Inirley, to he used iu
brewing and distilling. The royal
manuscript commission gives the
project of a chemist named Russell
who for £1,000 paid by the Virginia
company agreed to demonstrate the
V- 4.— ■»------ V
sassafras tree. So there was no laca
ing for materials for brewing.
New Englanders did not long eon
tinue in a beerless state. They im
ported malt and learned how to
make beer from Indian corn and
quickly learned to cheat in brewing,
using coarse molasses. In 1634 an
ale quart uf beer cost a penny at au
ordinary, and a landlord could he
fined if he charged a higher price or
if his beer was of a low standard,
Tavern keepers also were enjoined
to sell no more than a quart of beer
out of meal times. This was to pre
vent “bye drinkiug.” — Chicago

with regard to tigers, the expee

She Cut Off HU Tall.
A curious case of hostile hair cut¬
ting resulted iu litigation in 1791.
It is reported from York, Oct. 15 of
that year:
*. A cause for cropping was tried
last week at the sessions at Barns¬
ley, in Yorkshire, an action being
brought against Mr. Poole and his
lady of that place by Mr. Stagg, an
attorney, for an assault. The charge
lay chiefly against Mrs. Poole, as in
an affray between Mr. Stagg and
her husband it appeared she had cut
off the tail of the former. The in¬
vestigation was a continued source
of pleasantry to the court, though a
verdict was given in favor of Mr.
Stagg.”—Notes and Queries.

What Tommie Said.
Uncle John—Well, what do you
mean to be when you get to be a
man ?
Little Tommie (promptly) a doc¬
tor, like pa.
Uncle John (quizzically) Indeed;
and which do you intend to be, an
allopath or hoinoepath ?
Little Tommie—I don’t know
what them awful big words mean,
unde foUu , Wt that don’t make
no difference, ’cause I ain’t goin’
to be either of ’em. I’m just goin’
to be a family doctor an’ give all
my patients Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
’cause my pa says that if he is a
doctor, he,s ’bliged to own up that
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best
family medicine he ever saw in his
life.
A Fine Piece of Work. i

ot the Methodist church in Cov¬
ington, is now on exhibition at
Miss Mattie Carroll’s millinery
store, in the Shepherd building,
this city.

photos to him. The Star vouches
for his reliability and promptness.
Cauie For Pride.
Faddy—Saw Greggs just now.
He’s proud as Lucifer.
Duddy—Why, what’s happened to
him i
Fuddy —The doctor says his trou¬
ble is the gout, and, you know, ha
thought it was only rheumatism.—

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Bev. J. Gun
derroan, of Diaiandale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: »i
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King?s New Discovery, as the results
were almost maryeloua in the case of
my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rivers Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia suc¬
ceeding LaGrippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend re
commended Dr. King’s New Discovery.
