THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 5.1884. A CONQUERER. ©n the fchlning heights he had sought so long, lie stood alone st the break of day; The wind about him blew fierce ana strong, And the wide waste land beneath him lay; He could eoo .he arch of the purple sky, And the distant eea-llne, thin and white; And hear, as the swift gale burrh d by, The low, w eird voice of the fleeting night. He could boo tho way that his feet had trod, The wreck and ruin his hand had made, The clotted blood on tho withered sod, The cold, white faces amid the shade; The land was hi* by the victor’s right, He had swept the people before his wrath. And conquered all by his keen sword’s might, And marked his course by a lurid path. HI* word was law In the prostrate world, Where kings lay prone in their galling chains; He laughed when the holla of Jovo wore hurled Along tho silence of fruitless plains; The boastful trumpets for him were loud, And servile minions bent to his feet; But ho passed alone through the cringing crowd, And no red lips for hlj kiss grew sweet. I jo, nothing at all but a sounding name, And a harvest o f woe and bitter tears, For the lot* of love Is the gift of ferae: Ah, few are the good things life can hold; Hia Dob’s Name. Judge.

SULLIVAN'S VISITORS. %'.9 Popular Cod-Pllgrlm* to his Shrln. —netting hla Autoaraph. Bolton Ilcrald. John L. SuliiTan is the biggest man in town. Th# pilgrimage to the wayside inn, just out of the city limits, wherehe makes his headquarter, aider a bargain by which, it is said, the bar room receipts are divided with him by the landlord, la made by hundred! every day. Sporting men of high-and low degree, in wagons and afoot, make their way to the house, and wait patiently, sometimes for boms, until the champion returns from a walk. The lamentable feature of these gather ing, of worshipper, at the shrine of the slng god is the presence of boys in throngs. Imagine the burning desire of the little reecaie to grow up into prize fighters! They have gone into training, every one of them, as shown by tho strid ing rapid gait with which they walk to the tavern from the nearest street car line. An audacious urchin asked Sullivan what he ate and drank. “Blood, nothin’ but blood,” was the re ply. “I drain a boy about your size three times a day.” The anxious inquirer escaped with no delay; but the words ot the i lustrious man npread among the lads wilh pugilistic aspirations, ami they got tho further be lief somehow tbit leef blood from e neighboring slaughter homo really com posed most of his dieL A consequence la that they go in numbers to the abattoir in questiou, wheie the butchers provide allihe blood called for. 'J lie boys take it from a tin cup, while it is vet w arm from the slaughtered beasts anil earns of them are able to gulp down half a pint without stopping for breath. Mot all of tho collets on 8 illivsn are rude. The story Is tol l iu the tav.rn of a girl's morning visit, t-'lie si 1st in her card. “Show the duller up." the champion said without looking at the card. “ 'Tain't no duffer, sir. Anyhow, I think not, ’cause it's a girl.” "What’s her sort?” "Daisy.” "lUsoher up.” “But she said (he'd wait in the par lor, if you'd be kind enough to ace her there.” Sullivan loafed down to the parlor, no more than half an hour awakened from his tipsy sleep, and loomed upon the startled vision of as dainty a little lady aa 9 afar surrendered her slender figure to the enwrapments of fashion. She rose and ad vanced timidly to the giant, whose big, red, brutish face relexed none of its character istic scowl. A day's growth of black beard roughened it aereral blow. In the previous night's contest had left crimson spots, hit eyes were tiloary end hia clothe, dishevelled “The Church of the Pauiist Fathers is to hold a fair,” the girl said, and 1 am on a committee to solicit articles to place on sale, i thought you might ha willing to contribute s few autographs ” “A few whatf” "Autographs, you know-yonr signa tures—your name written on slips of pa per \<J ycurself. if you please. We would sell them for (lapfeoe.’' She did not know the ldetl meaner of the successful slugger is most threatening when he is amiable. When Sullivan glowered savagely down on her, with a wicked leer inhteeyes and an expression of nausea around his mouth and nose, she wouldn’t have been aaiprised if anni hilation had instantly happened to bar. ‘ Of conrso, Ur. Sullivan, if it would be distasleiul to you, don’t do It,” end ibe shyly retreated backward, keeping ber mfidcyei fixed on his, because ebe had read of that method as the only one for getting safely out of a wild beast's cage. “Oh, what ye glvin'meT" he exclaimed. “I ain't no good at writtn,’ but I'll have Dave Maloney make as many autographs aa yo want.” The missionary explained why that plan would not do. Pen, Ink, and paper were brought, and with unsteady toll Sullivan signed hla name twenty times over. “I always like to do ell 1 kin for relig ion," said he, as hs took ons of the visit- or's bauds and moetol the forearm into his capacious grip, “an* I hon* you’!! find thumps io buy ihaaa things.’’ The soft ■mallm ,s of ber band seemed to complete the conquest, and be very savagely added: “An’ if ye can arrange a set-to betwixt me an’ one of yonr fetters, i'll put on the gloves for the cause, an’ you shall taka the gate money.” The sweet missionary melted ont of the room, satisfied that ehe had risked mar tyrdom for the church. Who Will Preside Ovar the White Houee' , EL Louis Republican. ToLr.no, O., November 23.—In a modest looking house on Boperior street iuthis dty resides a lady, who, io the courre of the next four years, may occupy the post- turn of lint lady In the land. Her name is Mr». N. U. Bacon. Bhe la a sister ot Preai- dent-eiccl Cleveland. Your correspondent called mi Mrs. Bacon this morning, and found Iter a modest, line-looking lady, and a most entertaining conversationalist. She was shown a Saw York dispatch which stated that her abler, Mrs. Hoyt, who has with the Oovttnor in Albany, would probably taka charge of the White House. "There It no truth in the die- 1 atch,”ihe said. “Nothing has been set tled mi as yet. Mrs. Hoyt Baa a family to care for, ai d she can hardly leave Al- bany.” “Who will have charge of the White House, then? Your brother is not going to follow Dan Manning’s example and get married?'' ■Oh, no; that is not at ell likely. I think my sister Elisabeth wiilattend to the horpita hies of the White House.

One of the correspondents of the News and Conrier terms to doubt that United States Attorney Melton will continue the nefsiious practice of standing-aside jurors in the United State* Courts when a batch of United States officers, accused of van- ous ofTenses, are on trial. There need be no doubt on the subject. Mr. Mellon will stand-aside jurors with aa much serenity a* when Democrats were arraigned. Thero will be. however, this diflerence. Iu late years Mr. Melton Mood aside jurors In order to pack a jury that would convict the accused. He will now stand them aside in order to secure acquittal. The Defense Set Up to a Chars# to Kill. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. George Owen?, a little colored boy, was tried In tbe Court of Criminal Correction on a charge to kill, preferred by a play fellow, who accused him of using a pen knife. Tbe prosecuting witness stated that he was assaulted without any cause. When the State rested its core, the court turned to the defendant and asked: ’’Have ’""Yeas/ 1 ’ 1 drawled out the defendant, “I done right to carve him.” "Why, air?" demanded tbe courL "Cause he ‘squeegeed’ me." The detente stated that 'squeegeeing is _ technical term, which means the perpe trating of any mean trick. In this in stance the prosecutor found the defendant asleep and pouring coal oil about him in a circle, and turn putting some on the soles of the sleeper’s feet, he awoke him in time to witness the cot.fiagration. As the as sault was trivial Owcus was discharged. Mrs Bacon i- not a society lady in any avast of tbe word. Sbt is .1* voted to ber family a- d her friends.

Omaim, November 29,—Joseph Cook,tbe murderer of Leonard ltalil, who waa hanged at Bloe Hill, Neb., Monday evening by a mob, and afterward! cut down and revived by the shetlff, is now in lell at lted Cloud, nmler the care ol physicians. The effect of bie hanging Is rather singular. Besides his bodily injuries, bs la com pletely deranged, and bis mental balance will not be likely to be restored. He pre sents a pitiful appearance, hit neck being swollen to on abnormal slie, the mark of tbe lynchers' rope being plainly visible in blue and black colorings. One of hia can is severely cut, and his body la covered with bruiaea and cuts, for it la understood that the infuriated crowd beat and buffeted their victim while traveling front the court-house to tbe windmill geliowe, * dis tance ot nearly a mile. Hie animation is entirely restored, and at present there doee not seem to be any aign of Internal hemorrbsge, but danger te not past by any doss not remember anything of tbe attempted lynching, and when he looked in g mirror and e.-w tbe bruises on his neck he asked a deputy sheriff bow they came there. He was told that ba had fallen, but in no way does he show any aign ot tbe terrible ordeal through which he has passed. Hla conversation la incoherent and wandering, and tbe pbyalciana are of the opinion that be will never regain his HE HAD A SMART WIFE. And BheEntlcad a Snapping Bugfrom Hla — Ear In the Nick ol Time. HoagguiTiixg, N. Y., November 23.— James Knowka, oi Avoca, awoke a few nights ago. He felt a violent thumping on hia right ear, followed by abarp twinges ot pain, aa though ibe lining ol bis ear waa being aeized'and lorn away. Almost crazed, he woke op hla wife and told her some thing had crawled in hla ear and waa eat ing its way through bis head. Mrs., Knowles lighted a lamp and Izbed for the foreign occupant of her husband's ear with a hair pin and knitting-needle. Bhe waa unable to draw it ouL Mr. Knowles then dressed himself lo go to tbe doctor’e. Then hla wife happened to think that certain insects were generally fascinated by a light, and ahe hed her btubandwalt until she tried Ibe experiment Bhe held tbe lamb doss to hia ear. “If it’e a mapping bug,” the said, “or miller it will zee the light and come out to it.” In Iom than a minute Mrs. Knowles aaw the head of a formidable looking bug thrust ont of her husband's ear. Tba head waa quickly followed by a body half an inch long. Tbe bug crept out and Mrs, Knowles knocked it on tbe floor. A stream of blood followed the exit of the bug from Mr. Knowleafe ear. Mia. Knowles stepped on the bug and killed it. It was ooe of those Mg mapping bogi that have their beads bong on hinges at the middle of tbe beck, end work them up and down like pile drivers when on duly.

Personal Narrative of a Surviving Chinese Officer. Mr. Woo Ki Ioe, one of tbe Chinese stu dents recalled borne from this connlry, participated In the naval battle with tho French at Foo-Chow, SDd was among tbs few Chinees combatants who aurylved that engagement. Concerning it be writes as follows to a friend in this country, under dale of Shanghai, October 2od: Doubtless you have beard that the first naval battle in Chins has been fought off Pagoda Anchors;!. The Chinese fought as bravelj -is si y other nation could have done under tb« circumstances, and our re turned students fought to the last. Only Young Lein-, and I escaped without wot'r is from the Yung (Vos (flagship). We plunged into the water and suc ceeded In reaching shore, after four magazines had exploded. The French were so crncl as to fire at the swimmers just 1-ke kicking a fellov when heis down. That Is warfare with a c'vdiaed nation. The rest of the students—Sin Ynn Hook, Yang Chew Nom, Wong Kai I-lang and Kong Wing Chung—were probably all killed. Sin Yan Hook was at the bow of the ship when the magazines exploded and his body was afterward found on top of Mr. Robertson's house. Wong Kai Lting was probably wounded and burnt whea tbe ship took fire. The last 8-ell of Yan Chew Nom be waa swimming for dear life. Our dear friend Kong vvlDg Chung had been promoted to the rank of secoud lieutenant. The captain and first lieutenant being killed, he succeeded to the command, and when the fore part of the gunboat was burning lie stuck to hla ship and kept tiring with his stern guns at the Frenchmen. He made his men work to the last, and onto! a crew of a hundred eighty were killed. 1 have no doubt that tho newspapers gave tiles number ot Chinese gunboats as eleven, lint two were unarmed transports and ooe a small gunboat which only car ried tour five pounders. The Yang Woo. our largest boat, had only a tonnage of 1,400 tons, while tho French bed nine gun boats, with tonnages of 1,300 2,230, 3,700, 2,000 tons 8o yon seo it was altogether a one-sided affntr. Yet all thosegatlant and chivalrous “frog eaters” were actually afraid of us with all their superiority of arms and men. The Frenchmen gave us'no warning, took us, at a disadvantage, anil passed us with flags of peace filing; but tbe most contemptible part was their ah- oting the Chinese while in the water. I say I know this by personal experience. The first shut ot tlio Yang Woo swept away the English lot, Thomas, four sailors ar the helm, sides nine others, leaving Admiral Cour bet s'anding alone on the bridge. If «ro had aimed our gun just a little to ouo side we might bavo bio vn tliebraiusoutol that Frenchman, too. The day after the engage ment we walked up to the city ot Foo-Cliow and luckily for us Admiral Davis happen ed to bo at tho United States consulate, and rent us a ktml offer lo take us to Shanghai. So we sailed on the American sloop Enterprise and weretreated likegeu- tlemen, and given the best of accommoda tions. This is the cordial treatment we re ceive from the higher class of Americans When we reached Shanghai we were hear tily congratulated by our friends, and the Chinese newspapers gave tbo returned stndents great piaiso for their bravery.

His last race In England was November 7, when he rode the Duchess ot Montrose’s mare Tht-bais, landing ber winner of the Liverpool Cup. That seme afternoon a daughter was born to him, and a few days laterhis wtfedied. Outlie 15th he and Cspt. Bowling started quietly for Queenstown and took passage in the Bothnia. Id regard to bis plant, Archer said: “I have no idea what I am going to do. I simply came over for a change, with the idea of getting away from Newmarsetand from my thoughts connected with the place.” When Informed that he would meet sympathizing friends here, a-sd many who admired him tor hia great achievements on tbs turf, especially In winning the s-vs juvsivv, uaiiA i-uxi oiuuv iitnII wna urn friend, Capt.

The Englishmen enjoyed the ride from the Battery to Twenty-third street on tho elevated road, on their way to the Bruns wick. I Archer remarked that New York re minded him more of Paris than London. The tine shops, a* ho called the great bns-l bless buildings of Now York, caught his eye at every turn. Tho bustling crowds, too, seemed more like the streets of Paris. Archer likes the French rapltul. He won tho French Derby In 1880 and 1883, and the Grand Prix iu 1882. When he reached the Brnnswick he in quired it there was dispatch for hint.

Besides, tnaoy tramps are low fellows who dis grace their profession by being surly to B women when they find them alone In tbe 1 houee. Now I’m nothing if not polite. " and to have a surly partner would break my heart. My long experience with hu man nature and dog nature compels me to admit that even I am not a favorite even with the ordinary ill-bred country curs. I can easily overcome their dislike by itra>egem, or by amusing them with a handful of red pepper, or by bnllying them. A green tramp will generally try to excite a dog’s sympathy in order to get the beast to let him alone for charity’s sake. That sort of thing always tarns out deal failure.
