, What Is Life?
Sny, what is life? A feeble flower
Which Doclining as it blooms;
hears at heart tho withering power,
Tho canker that consumes;
A wintry cloud, an A pril beam,
A stage of empty strife,
A waking thought, a troubled dream,
Ah! sut-b is IfJo!
A web of elyockot'cd hopes and fear.--;
A bubble on the wave—
A shade composed of smiles and tears.
A pilgrim to tho grave!
A barqne upon the wafers tossed,
(Tho sport of storm and strife,)
Her rudder gone, her anchor lost—
Ah! su.-h is life !
And what is death? A dreaded doom
To pleasures silken slave;
Who fours to slebp amid tho glooM
That wraps ibe siUnt grave,
.To quiet the scone of earthly joys,
.Resign Oh, wish would yield gilded his breath?
auibitioa’s toys,
To woWoine death?
The soul that feels affliction’s pang,
To lifa’g dark ills a prey,
Soars to the source from whence it sprang
And spurns tho cumbrous clay.
No more may terrors shake my breast,
Or waste my feeble breath!'
Death rocks tho cradle of our guest.
Then welcome death!
WAS 11E TEE MAN?
The Alleged Killing of the Alleged Lane
In Alabama.
Montgomery Advertiser.
Fame is either too tardy or too rapid
as a general thing. lu tho case of A. J
Lane, however, who sometimes called
himself Harwell, and who has been
dead and hurried these two mouths,
and more, it only camo to tho knoleuge
of the worid within the last, few days
that he was a val ant Federal officer,
and was shot to death near Montgoms
ery, Ala., while laying the mandate
of Lis outraged government on the
trumpery of an illicit whisky distiller.
This is the infon o;i m which the Radio
cal press of the North is now dishing
up.fat their l;;i.o >dy
Lane, alias Harwell,* invaded Mhtit-1
gomery last fall, or early in the winter;
he came fromJBiimiugham, hangiug es¬
caped from jail there; he loitered about
the saloons and gambling houses of this
city, a ehiitlosa, eiothful creature, no
oue caring for him, which treatment ho
seemed to reciprocate; nobody seetneu
to know whence ho came, how ho lived
or where he slept; he was a tall, gawky,
ungainly coarse looking, rather spare
made person, with a long, straggling,
yellow moustache, which was always
clotted vvith tobacco juice; he was al¬
ways vulgar in Ilia personal appearance,
and more careless of property than a
plantation darkey. Thus Lane appear¬
ed here during the first mouths of his
sojourn; he was known to'teli many
hair breadth escapes and valiant deeds
iu “Georgy” In other days before he
found the way to Alabama’s happy
hunting grounds. Sumo time last spring
Policeman Beall came down to Mont¬
gomery, handcuffed Lane, and took him
to Bitminghatu, where an indictment
for burglary and ono for carrying con¬
cealed weapons were pending in Jeffers
son county court agaiust him. lie man¬
aged to compromise, or pay out of the
eoBcealqd weapon indictment, and we
do hot know what became of the other
case. Anyhow, after a month or two,
Lane tu, ned up in Montgomery again,
and moved along in the same old rut,
which he had reduced to a fine science.
DuriDg the last summer, a gentleman;
who resided here, in a spirit of charity,
engaged Lane to work on the former's
farm, near Fitzpatrick’s etation, on the
M & E. Railroad. So Lane went out
of towu and in a couple of weeks there¬
after, one night in the dead hours,
while attemptiug to render insensible a
a virtuous young woman for a hellbh
purpose, ho jwas arrested by certain
parties who had watched accordingly*;
Li\ne attempted seizing to escape at the rail¬
road station, the gun of one of
the guard, he was shot dead; and this
was the manner of his taking off’ wffiile
serving, so-called, the boat government
the world ever saw.
During Lane’s, peregriua; ions in theso
parts, nearly a year, he haa nothing to
do with the U, S- service, or any other
service except that of dead head drinks
aud free lunch houses; be certainly nev
er raided on whisky, except when he
was asked to take someth lug.
It now appears that Mr. Clark, U. S.
Revenue officer at Atlanta, Ga., was on
Lane’s bond for some kind of offence in
that State; the case was called the
other day, and no Lane responding, the
scheme now is to serve two purposes,
Clark’s bond money is saved," and the
Radical heart is fl red over the killing of
Lane, the martyred champion of at¬
tempted rapes.
We are willing to kill a good yard
deg. and justify our? Hal teal Northern
population, “murder;” to a c«rta^»|fextout, beseech if them they

ago in Pekin, a journal ---- was printed > on
silk. After narrating the establishment
of the first newspaper in Boston, in
1031, and in Philadelphia, in 1734 the ,
speaker added that the newspaper did
not suddenly spring on the world, it
came gradually. The circular begat ,

other business. I say this to savo rneu

without experience they can run a news¬
paper, have softening of the brain.
Such men had better throw their pock¬

to Bloomingdale asylum. ]Laughter.]
Newspapers aro a tunnel to bring out
tue waters of knowledge to the people;
the Bible, Webster’s dictionary and
good newspapers fit men for the duties
of this life aud the next.’ Mr. Talmage
advocated an impersonal conduct for
newspapers. He said that many men
wrote brilliant articles, but their names
were never known. Ho believed that
articles of merit should bo signed by
the author’s name and predicted that
such a course would yet be adopted.

A Fatal Encounter Between Two Bro
lh rs.
Holly Springs, Miss., Nov. 10—A
terrible tragedy was enacted night
before last just on the edge of DeSeto
county and about twenty m&es? from
this place. Tho following,are the par
tlculars: About midnight Leonidas |
Joyner, who had retired for the night, i
wns aroused by his brother Julius joy
ner, whocaroe home drunk and entered ■
the room where Leonidas -lay. Lecni
das alluded to the condition and habits j !
of his brother somewhat ... bitjerly. There
i
upon Julius denied that fib Mu was was c*—‘ drunk ;
and defied Leonidas to tesf the matter ;
by trying to put film out. Leonidas, in
his night drees, at once go^ up, when a
most desperate encounter with knives
between the brothers. When )
mother aud 6isters rushed in, i
by the noise, they found Leoni\
ly i jg on the porch in front of the
dead, with bis throat cut, a stab
the heart, besides a number of
her cuts and stabs any of which
have proved fatal. Julius was;
stabbed several times m the breast,
may recover. Both men were well
in this county, and the tragedy
universally regretted- Leonidas
was a steady, quiet, bard work¬
tnau; Julius is reckloss and quarrel¬
when drinking.

A. Drunken Fight.
Decatur, Nov. 7,—At Cullman, Ala,
to-day, an immense crowd of people
1 attended court, tho majority of them
i getting on a general drunk, and final
ly getting up a light of immense pro
portions, in which brick, rock a and
knives were feeely used. At this writ¬
ing several persons are seriously wound¬
ed, and many windows in town are
shattered to atoms, No pistol shots
have yet been fired, although it is fear¬
ed it win come to that before morning
So general was the drunk that the judge
had to be carried from the court-house
and put into his littlo bod to sober up,
an d court was adjourned.
Cullmau is a German settlement away
ap on the top of Sand Mountain, thirty
throe raiios from Decatur. Its people
ar0 pwjea ble and prosperous. They
have made the mountain top to bios-
8om as the rose, and have drawn into
their town an immense trade from the !
mountains on both sides of the railroad. I
The natives from the mountains naturs
ally come into Cullman to get their sup¬
plies, and many of them don't neglect
to get aboard a plentiful supply of whis¬
ky also, aud on such occasions they
delight in quarreling with their German
friends. Such was the case to day.
Tho fight was between the Americans
and the Germans, the former being on
the offensive and tho latter on tho do
fensivo, I am informed that some time
sinco a party of Americans made an
attack on the Germau colony of Cullmau
but tho Germans were too much for
them, as they caught their tormentors,
aud denuding them of their clothing,
drove them to their homes in an entire¬
ly nude state, leaving their clothes
hanging on a tree, and for which they
never returned.

Cola Mutilation.
A new method of mutilating silver
currency is being employed by uumbsrs
of patent- medicine venders and other*
to advertise their goods and. wares.
Of late large numbers of coius have
been received in the Treasury which
are stamped on euc sido with an adver¬
tisement. The stamps used are the
same sort of a die which cuts Hie letters
atui words into the coin. In most in¬
stances uiio name of the owner oi the
article advertised is not cut on the coin,
but the advertisement simply recom¬
mends a certain nostrum or article. As
the coiu is stamped only on oue side, it
can be passed very readily, exposing
only the perfect side. This is a mutila¬
tion of currency and a violation ol law.
The secret Service has been directed to
