The following poem, by Shaler Hill-
yer, Esq., son of Rov. S. G. Hillyer,
t e lig in rhyme a story founded a on real
incident of the close of the late war be
tween the States. The story is so dra-
matically told as to enlist- the reader’s
attention and mark the author as a
man of fine poetic temperament. We
believe the poem has been published in
| the Sunny South :

through the valley flowed,
Our one-armed Jim, with strength renewed, was
far upon hia roai,

At length, about the time the sun had climbed
half way the ikiea,
Jim, looking far belore him, law, with some
thing of surprise,
Three men slowly coming down the road, aod
who, as he could sae,
Were clad in tattered suits of grey, that told
they’d been with Lee.

He kept his eyes fixed on thaee thres, wnd when
they nearer came.
He saw that they were weak and wan, and one
of them was lame;
That they were silent, spiritless their eyee, and
that their tread
Was but the lifeless step of those whose every
hope is fled.

’’Hello! my men,” cried Jim,on meeting, ’’seems
to me that you
Are going In the wrong direetlon for good men

I’m on my way to jins Lea’s bops, to help ’em all

From what I’ve heard, they need the help of all
true-hearted men.

“But what good news d’ye btlng to-day, you're

“Good news—the front 1" repeated one, the foie-
most of the thres;
And there was grief in bis low tine, and wondtr
on hia brow—
“Good news will come to us no more,a nd there
is no front now;
“Lee has surrendered—”
“That's a lie,” cried Jim, with
lips turn.d'pale:
“Oh I no 1 it jns’ can’t be—ye oan’t Impose on
me yer tale
Of Lee’s surrender; rather will I b'lieve that ye
are three
Deserters from his lines, and that this tale ye’ve
told to me,

“Ye have between you planned that it might
pass you on the way.”
At theee fell wordu the faces of the three turned

And in their eyes, no longer dull, there fluked
an angry light,
Such light as gleams in brave men’s eyes when
Wrong oppresses Bight.

“Ha 1 stranger, this to us,” said one, as round
him they did gather:
“But see he is one-armed; be patient, men, and

Bur with his usjnst words, and show to him, u
I do here,
That we are prisoners from the front, not skulk
era from the rear.”
Then, at hiu words, the thru their written pa
roles held to view,
Till Jim, with vision growing dim had read them
each one through.
“I ask yer pardon, gentiomen,’’ he said in ae
cents low;
“Forgive my false and unjust words, ye are true
men, I know.
But, gents, ’twas hard to b’lieve that Lee— 1 ’:
and here his voice broke down,
And with a stifled sobbing ha set down upon the

Then covering with his single hand his face as

He broke into a strain of grlal that might not bs

Radical Corruption and Fraud
in Connecticut.
Hartford Timas.
The ohairman of the Republican town
oommittae of Windham, one Walter
Bennett, a young lawyer, persuaded a
young Irian Democrat into the room
near the voting place in Windham,
where the Republicans had established
headquarters and were purchasing votes,
and offered and gave him five dollars
to vote tho Republican ticket. The
young man took the money and Ben
nett aooompanied him to the polls to
see that he voted the ticket; but upon
arriving at the ballot box the young
Democrat held aloft |in his hand the
five dollars, and said “here is five dol
lars which Bennett has given me to
vote the Republican ticket,” and then
holding up the Democratic Senatorial
aud Representative ballots he said “here
are the ballots I am going to cast,” and
he put them in the ballot boxes- ThiB
same Bennett was detected in stuffing
the ballot box in a Republican caucus.
The teller announced that a party in
the hall had put in more than one bal
lot. The chairman denounced the act,
and said it was unlawful, and the party
could be prosecuted. Cries for his
ame arose, when the teller said it was
lennett, who is associated with the
chairman in his law office. Bennett
then said that he dropped double votes
by mistake, but he could not explain
ly he did not say so at once ana re
call his ballots. After this, at the same
meeting, Bennett was elected chairman
of the Republican town committee pre
sumably because he had shown this
versatility in Republican tactics.

Georgia Cotton Cron.
Savannah, Nov. 10— Cotton Ex
change Report of the orop of Georgia;
Weather-during the month of October
cloudy and rainy, until about the 24th;
after that clear, and on the whole less
favorable than last year for gathering
the orop. There was light frost in the
upper counties of the State on the 25th,
but the damage was very slight. About
oue-half the crop has been picked, and
picking will be pushed from‘the 1st to
the 20th of December. No estimate of
the yield in this State can be made at
this time. Much depends on the weath
er during the next ten days or two
weeks. Since October 25th it baa been
dear and favorble for the opening of
matured bolls. In Southern and South
eastern Georgia the prospect is 25 per
cent, below the yield of last year, while
in upper Georgia farmers are very hope
ful that the out-turn will equal or ex
ceed last year’s. The temperature dur
ing the month of October was warm
and sultry, and the continued rains,
while they injured the quality of the
cotton, delayed picking, and retarded
the opening of bolls, had the effect of
pushing rapidly to maturity, young
green bolls of the top crop, so much so
that in various sections many reports in
sist that, with a favorable season, and
late frost the yield from this late cotton
will not only equal but may exceed the
amount gathered from the balance of
the crop. A top crop, however, is not
general throughout the State. No top
crop or Becond’ crop can be found on
sandy ground, where the crop has been
injured by rust, nor in Southern Geor
gia, where the caterpillar has appeared.
Tho Empire State of the South.
Raleigh Observer,
Georgia realizes $300,000 from the
rent of the Western and Atlanta Rail
road, and $50,000 from the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad, $30,000 from the
inspection of fertilizers, $25,000 from
the lease of convicts,_ $15,000 from tax
on insurance companies, $15,000 from
tax on railroads, and $20,000 from her
liquor tax, making from theee special
sources an income of $450,000. Her
general tax nets her about $850,000.
The total income of the State is about
$1,800,000. Her bonds are selling in
New York at $112, we believe. She is
called the Empire State of the South
She has more factories than any other
Southern State, and is never weary of
well-doing in that direction. Every
now and then we hear of some new en
terprise being undertaken there. Some
new mill is always in the course of con
struction, and additional evidence of

Mrs. Lillie Durst, the editor of the
Circleville (Ohio) Herald, probably will
be made clerk of the Senate in that
State. When she put in a claim for the
office a few weeks ago there was con

she has electioneered so effectively that
now the chances are said to be in her
favor.

A disgraceful scene occurred at aYune-
ral in Henrietta, N. Y., Wednesday.
The widow of tho deceased and his
sons by a former wife differed concern
ing the arrangements of the funeral and
the place of burial. Graves were dug
at Bloomfield and at Mount Hope, in
Rochester. The corpse was forcibly
transferred from one coffin to another
in the street, and the burial proceeded
at Bloomfield without further difficulty.
It will probably be necessary to guard
the grave. , » ,
