LOST CHARMS,

The river loses half its charms
To him who ponders o’er
The many who have left its banks
To seek sonic other shore.
Tlie rock, the lea, the meadow,
Through which winds round the rill,
One tale have told, onecharmof old,,
No longer waits *o thrill.
No more in yonder scenes we meet
Tlie old-time friends we knew;
Gone is the charm their presence gave
This ancient landscape view.
And. all, rock, lea and meadow,
And glorious little rill
Are known no more by lliosc of yore
Who used to feel their thrill.

At Parsloe’s Lake, near Bartow
Junction Florida, lives a man with a
history. It is Alford H. Parsloe. for
for whom the pretty little lake was
named, lb; is now a pleasant, wide¬
awake, jolly gentleman of means and
taste, living in a beautiful hoinr.^. Ytl
he has been in the jaws of death, es¬
caped, and can say that he came out
alive from one of the most sensation¬
al, terrible, and world-famous rail
way accidents. He claims that he
was the sole surviving passenger of
forty passengers, men. women and
children, in one of the coacherof tin;
train wrecked at Ashtabula, ()., sev¬
eral years ago. The train was pre¬
cipitated down a 100 feet embank¬
ment, through I resile work, and on
huge rocks. The country was astound
ed and sorrow stricken by tLis aeei
dent. Many many lives were lost,
ai. o:ig the rest the lives of Mr. P.
P. Bliss and his wife, the famous
gospel singers. Mr. Parsloe was
frightfully mangled and torn, but
finally recovered, grew strong and
hearty, and has adopted Florida as
his home.

CHANGING INTO A DESERT.
THE COLORADO PLAINS DRYING UP
AND THE PEOPLE SUFFERING.
While it is exceedingly wet along
the Atlantic coast it is very dry cut
on the plains. A dispatch from Den¬
ver to the New York World says
that the great plains are hot and
parched and daily they are becoming
more like the veritable desert of the
pioneer days. Not for many years
has there been such a scarcity of wa¬
ter in Colorado, and especially in the
region of the Platte. Vegetation j*
becoming brown and crisp. The grass
is withered, wells are drying up, ir¬
rigation ditches are dry, crops are
burned up by the intense heat. Cat
fle are dying, and at some points on
thejplains the people are almost peri
ishing for water.
Pitiful are the tailestold by ranchi
men of crops destreyod, cattle per¬
ishing and their fainiles in gieat dan¬
ger of suffering. Reports from the
eastern parts of Arapahoe and Weed
counties, near the Colorado and Kan¬
sas line, represent a terrible state of
affairs. jThis section seems fated to
disaster and misfortune. Last winter
it is estimated that 100 people lost
their lives near the State line in snow
blockades and terrible storms that
prevailed. Now they are scourged
with an intense heat that is bringing
ruin and disaster. No emigrants for
many years have suffered such ex¬
tremes of heat .-.nd cold as they. In¬
duced by the favorable reports of
the rainfall of the two previous years
and influenced by the commonly ac¬
cepted theory that the rainfall is
each year increasing and the rain
centre moving westward, hundreds
of new settlers have attempted rais¬
ing crops without irrigation, hut the
present season has been a very un¬
fortunate one, not only the crops to¬
tally destroyed and their stock dying,
but the unfortunate ranchmen aud
their- families are in some places suf¬
fering for water to drink. Nothing
hut misery is ahead of them, and un¬
less relief of some kind is soom ob¬
tained it is said that they will be ob¬
liged to move away or perish. Cat¬
tle are choking with thiist, and of¬
ten the poor brutes are seen standing
at the dried up watering places with
tongues In lolling out the of their mouths.
some places wild animals
are becoming tame. Even tla ante¬
lope, the fleetest and most active an¬
imals on the plains, iu some instances
have become so exhausted from
thirst that they have been easily cap¬
tured by boys from the ranches. The
reports frem all the ranchmen con¬
firm the statement that unless water
is procured the suffering among cat¬
tle will result most fatally and that
the loss to ranchmen w ill tie immense
as these little bunches are, in many
eases, all the ranchmen posses, to
lose them would he most disastrous.
In fact, as one ranchman expressed
it, it is a matter of life and death to
them. The great stock ranges, which
it had been hoped would escape, are
now becoming brown, and the lead
iug stockmen are beginning to feel
apprehensive. The cattle have suffer¬
ed more in the southern sections and
many have perished.
About 100,000 head have been
rushed through the State from the
dry regions to the ranges of the
Northwest. The Iiio Grande has a
good volume, hut the Arkansas and
Platte rivers are low, and at some
points the Platte is now bn*, ankle
deep, below the great irrigation
ditches, and many troublesome ques¬
tions have arisen over the irrigation
problem. In many places along the
Platte the ranchmen are armed, and
will fight unless they obtain their
rights. The big ditch companies are
monopolizing what little water there
is, and the feeling is very bitter.
There have already been several en¬
counters, but no loss of life has yet
resulted. Representative ranchmen
from the plans have just held a con
veiition in Denver, and if they can
not have water by peaceful means
they wdl take it by force. “Water,
water; give us water,” is the cry
that comes from the plains.
Gov. Eaton has just given an au¬
dience to a committee of ranchmen,
and is devising means for a fair dis¬
tribution of the water, and -t is hop¬
ed that he will succeed. Unlesssoiue
thing is done there is danger of blood
shed. The great ditch monopolies arc
guarding their ditches with armed
men, and the ranchmen, hundreds of
whom are now secretly organized
and armed, say that unless relief is
soon given they will cut the canals.
Denver is feeling the Result of the
drought. The city’s water supply
comes from the Platte, and the Wa
ter Works Company has issued a re¬
quest to all citizens to be as econom¬
ical as possible in the use of water,
and escpecially for lawn purposes.
Some of the small towns to the east
of Denver are supplied with water
from this city, and were it not for
the water shipped to them on the
railroads the inhabitants would soon
perish of thirst.
Miss Connelly Acquitted.
The Abbeville (S. C.) Meascnyer.
We are perhaps the last person to
say aught against that sentiment of
chivalry and respect for woman,
which has been so long distinctive
of Southern society.
Tlu- man who by actor deed casts
an .aspersion upon the fair name a
woman deserves little commiseration
for any fate that overtakes him. It
is true that
“The dearest treasure mortal times afford
Is spotless Deputation—that away,
Men are but painted loam, or gilded clay.”
If Mr. Steedly slandered Miss Con¬
nelly, he deserved punishment. Cer¬
tainly his fate was a terrible one.
Rut what we object to is the manner
of her acquittal. A review of the
testimony shows that the only evi¬
dence upon the line of the defense
was J/iss Counelly’s unsupported
statement that the dead man had
slandered her. That’s all! How and
in what manner, did not appear up¬
on her trial. That the killing was
deliberate, and premeditated and
done under most cir>
curnstanees—in a church—was not
denied. It should then have requir¬
ed clear and explicit testimony to re¬
lieve the accused of all responsibili¬
ty. As sacred as is woman’s honor
and good name, it will not be wise
to establish the precedent that upon
a simple charge of slander human
life may be taken. That, too, is sa¬
cred; and strict and ,strong proof
should be demanded that the offense
has been committed. We know noth¬
ing of the truth or untruth of the
charge against the dead Seedly, but
we cannot think that the jury’s ac¬
tion was warranted by the evidence.
Strange as was the action of the
jury, stranger was that of the neigh¬
bors of J/iss Connelly, who serena.
ded her for “her heroic action in
slaying the man who slanded her,
and for joy at her acquittal.” If it
was necessary for her to slay Steedly
iu defense of her good name,.it was
a dire necessity, bitterly to be re¬
gretted and not to be made the
ground upon which to baseclaims to
heroism. Snn-ly it was very bad
taste on tlie part of the serenaders.

Married in Spite of the Freshet.
JVom the Neic York Sun.
The high waters throughout North
Carolina were the cause of a roman¬
tic marriage in Rockingham county
recently. Mr. James J/adisoti Stout
and Miss Polly Mickle, one -of the
most beautiful young, ladies in
county, started ‘.o get Warned.—
They were accompanied by ^ small
wedding party. When they reached
Jones creek they found that the wa¬
ter was so high that they could not
cross. They were going to the par¬
son’s en the other aide.
“I’ll swim across,” said Tony Bush,
the groom’s best man, “and bring
the preacher to the other bank, and
he can marry you from there,”
He soon had Parson Hazk-t on the
opposite shore. He gave him Jim’s
license and told him to proceed.
“Join hands, my frieuds,” shouted
the parson, and from across the
stream he made them man and wife.
“Three cheers for the American
eagle!” cried the groom, as he swung
his hat in the air. “Parson, here’s to
the weather and here’s to the tide,
and here’s a kiss to my bonny bride!
Tony, hand the parson that five dol¬
lar bill, and be on hand to-night to
the frolic at Mamma Stout’s.”
“God bless you both!” cried the
parson, cheerily, waving one hand
and stuffing money in his trouser’s
pocket with the other.

The Man Who Laughs
f rom the Lewiston Journal.
The man whose ha! ha! reaches
from one end of the street to the oth¬
er may be the same fellow who scold¬
ed his wife and spanked the baby
before he got his breakfast, but his
laughter is only the crackle of thorns
under the pot. The man who spreads
his laughter through his life, before
a late breakfast, when he misses the
train, when his wife goes visiting ami
he has to eat a cold supper; the man
who can laugh when he finds a but¬
ton off his shirt, when the furnace
fire goes out iu the night, and both
of the twins come down with the
measles at the same time, he’s the
fellow that’s needed. He never tell*
his neighbor to have faith; somehow
he puts faith into him. He delivers
no homilies; the sight of tiis beam¬
»IJ£; face*, tiko “n»i ed of bis happy
voice, and the sight of his blessed
daily life carry conviction that wo-da
have no power to give.
The blues flee before him as the
fog before the west wind; he comes
into his own home like a flood of
sunshine over a meadow of blooming
buttercups, and his wife and child¬
ren blossom in his presence like June
roses. 11 is home is redolent with
sympathy and love. The neighbor¬
hood is better for his life, and sornei
body will learn of him that laughter
is better than tears. The world needs
this man; why are there so few of
him? Can he be created? Can he bo
evolved? Why is he not in every
house, turning rain into shine and
winter into summer all round the
year, until life is a perpetual season
of joy.

The Student.
Athens Bunner- 'Watchman.
There are many things that a stu¬
dent cau be prevailed on to do, and
a great many more that no persua¬
sion can get him not to do. If there
is any devilment on hand the aver¬
age student can always be prevailed
upon to take a hand. If there is any
prayer meetings, revivals, or reli¬
gious service to be engaged in, the
student cannot be brought near with
a rope around his neck. The last bad
act done by the studuut was on Thurs
day night. The elite of the Athen
scum club are in the habit of giving
their friends a boat ride up the Oco¬
nee, and on such occasions a wagon
loaded with ice cream cakes, only
5c. a cake, watermelons and other
digestible articles is sent up the riv¬
er to await the arrival of the boat,
club, and a good time is generally
had. The student are generally barri
ed from the ride and the eating. Ou
Thursday night they went out and
stole the tongue out of the wagon
carried the eatables, and hung it up
in a tree. The wagon still rests on
the banks of the Oconee, and the
students are laughing over the joke
they played on the Athemeum club.
