The Little Red Cow.
TlieySfTng of the graceful Jersey,
Tho-queeir 8T the modern churn,
The beautiful cow whose butter
To masses of gold will turn.
We dim not one ray of glory
That over her fame is sited,
But here's to tlie “little Devon.”
The trim little cow in red.
The Beautifu 1 , haughty Shorthorn,
The “red and white and roan,”
Tim elegant white-faced Hereford,
Will sneer at our cow and groan,
.IJut jjhc brave is the little Devon,
holds up her shapely head,
And .stands by her chosen colors,
The trim little cow in red
TIL trim little cow is modest—
'HR #wonderful master'shaml
Ilais-written her butter record
All over the smiling land.
Far up on the heights of honor
ller banner lias never led;
She works with a modest patience,
This trim little cow in red.
The little red cow is patient,
She never will fret or moan
Because of the bare, black pastures
When summer’s warm days have flown
She knows that the rain and sunshine
Alike in our lives are shed;
She looks for a better future,
This trim little cow in red.
A modest and patient woman
Who cares not when glory calls,
Can build an annex to heaven
Inside of four roughened walls,
When many a stately lady,
Who begs for the world’s renown,
Will find her home sunshine darkened,
ller happiness trampled down.
And thus docs the little Devon,
Untouched by the blinding glare.
Of glory, work on, and ever
Seek bravely to do her share,
Thsn here’s to the little Devon,
This wreath for her shapely head,
The beautiful, modest Devon,
The trim little cow iu red.

A WAR STORY.
Pencil Paragraphs in Constitution.
The ills that ilesli is heir to, how¬
ever great they may he, arc rarely
remembered when once they have
ceased to exist. The ills of twenty
one years ago, however, continue to
to he remembered in many parts of
the South, and will not be forgotten
until several generations yet to come
have passed away. The year which
witnessed the close of the war be¬
tween the Slates was fruitful of ills,
many of them nothing short of hor¬
rors. The South was prostrate ami
oppressed with fear of the future.—
Laws were of no effect. Unscrupm
Ions stragglers from the armies of
the North roved where they pleased,
committing dreadful ctitnes unmo
lested.
Late in the afternoon in a day in
April, 18G5, three days after General
IFilson’s army passed through Mon¬
roe county, a Federal soldier rode
up to a farm house near JJolingbroke,
lie was drunk. Dismounting and
entering the house, he found the
master and the mistress, both of
whom he grossly insulted with tlm
vilest abuse. lie announced his in¬
tention to kill the master, and by¬
way of emphasizing the threat, de¬
clared that he had killed three men
and a little girl upon the morning of
that day. It was subsequently learn
ed that he had shot a little girl thro’
the body. His threat almost crazed
the mistress of the house, hut it also
determined her to save the life of
her husband. At a favorable mo¬
ment she aided him to escape from
the house, and then faced the soldier
alone. When the soldier discovered
the escape, he swore that he would
kill the wife and everybody else on
the farm. IIin drunkenness, howev¬
er, caused him to postpone the exe¬
cution of his threat, and at dark he
rode away, saying that ho would re¬
turn and execute it next day.
There were two negroes on the
farm, Anthony and Nelse, who
sought their mistress after the de¬
parture of the soldier, and offered to
kill him should he return. While
fully appreciating the devotion of
her servants, she told them that she
did not want the soldier killed unless
he should attempt to carry out his
threat. The two negroes agreed to
do whatever their mistress should
command.
Next day, the soldier still drupk ;
Terms—$1.00 per annum
returned. He again threatened to
kill everybody on the farm, but did
not do so. He contented himself
with shooting a valuable horse, which
he did merely to gratify his wanton
cruelty. After being shot, the horse,
singularly to relate, tried to gain
entrance into each of the several
buildings upon the farm. Upon the
steps of each 1 e left drops of his
blood, finally dying in the flower
garden. Following the shooting of
the horse, the soldier committed ma¬
ny other acts of fiendish cruolty. At
dark he again rode away, declaring
that he would return in the morning.
When the morning eame, it was
learned that the sohWbr had spent
the night at the house of the widow
of a Confederate soldier. This lady
he treated wth indescribable cruel¬
ty. Aided by a faithful negro wo¬
man, she escaped front the soldier
while he was drunk, and fled to the
farm whose occupants he had threat 1
ened to kill. There she was secre¬
ted. Who. he emerged from his
drunken stupor, the negro woman
sent him off iu soaroh of the lady in
a different direction from that in
which she had fled.
The negro woman’s ruse caused
the soldier to fall into the bands of
a party of Confederate soldiers who
had been searching for him several
days. They had followed him from
Selma, Ala., he having committed
horrible outrages in that city. At
the house of the confederate
widow they were informe of the cru¬
elty she had suffered and of her
flight. They determined to request
her to decide what fate the soldier
should suffer. When she was found
and the request made of her, she re¬
plied: “Ilang him!” He was taken
into a convenient wood, where lie
was mounted upon a horse and a
rope was securely tied to the limb
of a tree, and then he was asked if
lie bad anything to say. “My namt'?"
ho replied, “is Alexander My
home is in , Missouri, Write
to my mother and tell her how I
died, and may the Lord have mercy
on my soul!” Oncol' his questioners
said to him: “We will not write to
your mother. We will have suffi¬
cient mercy upon her not to let her
know what manner of life you have
been leaning, and what the manner
of your death.” Nothing more was
said. A quick blow from a whip
caused the horse to spring aside, and
the fiendish wretch hung suspended
between heaven and earth. In a few
minutes he was dead. A shallow hole
was dug just under him, and he was
cut down and quickly buriod. His
mouldering hones lie is that unmark¬
ed grave to this day, and the spot is
only known to those who took his
life.
It developed, a few days after,
that the soldier was an oflicei. A ru¬
mor of his death reached the federal
authorities at Maoon, and they sent
a detachment of troops into Monroe
county and arrested many of the
leading citizens, upon the charge of
complicity in the vengeance wreak¬
ed upon him. They were imprisoned
at Macon, hut as no proof to convict
them could he obtained, they were
subsequently released.
The lady whom the soldier treat¬
ed so cruelly is dead The little girl
whom ho shot through tho body is
still living in Monroe county.
The incidents here related are
true; and are well remembered by a
number of citizens of Monroe coun¬
ty
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald
tolls how Mr. M, G. Johnson, a well
known job printer of that city, was
soared out of ten years of his life a
day or so since by a tnocasiti snake.
He entered the Alhambra restaurant
on East Bay street, to get his dinner,
and carelessly reached out his hand
to draw up a chair, when it fell upon
a snake instead of the chair hack.—
He sprang back frightened when the
snake began to unwrap itself from
the chair, hut during its uncoiling it
w-as killed. It had evidently crawl
up from beneath the building and
entered the dining room unobserved.
It was dboi.it tyo feet ip length.

recently:
-Oahouts T3ARKER—Information of the wlierc
of Mrs, Anne Frances Barker
(maiden name death Pout) will if living, suitably or, if dead,
proof of be paid for;
Address J. McNab, 11 Debevoi.se, place,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr. McNab said last night to are 4
porter of tlieSun: “Mrs. Darker was
a niece of William E. Prout, who
died on September S, at 71 Spring
street, New York, and if living she
has ft twelfth interest in his estate*
which is valued at $1,300,000. Mr;
Prout left no will, and his property,
comprising real estate, bonds and
money, will bo divided between his
three nephews and nine nieces, that
is, if Mrs. Barker is living and she
can bo discovered. As the son-indaw
of one of Mr. Prout’s nephews, I
have taken an interest in the search
lor Mrs. Barker, hut so far no trace
of her movements, since she disap¬
peared about twenty-three years ago
has been discovered. As Miss Annie
Frances Prout she moved in good so¬
ciety in New Yck and was every¬
where considered a beautiful and ac¬
complished young woman. She was
about 20 years old when she married
Alonzo Barker in 1854. After seven
years of married life a separation
took place between her and her hus¬
band.
“Her husband retained the custo¬
dy of their two children, sons, one
of whom was not quite two years
old when the homo was broken up.
I’lie last that was ever difinitely
known of Mrs. Barker was when she
eame hack to her homo one night
and begged to he allowed to see her
children. The door was closed agaiufc
her and she walked off in the dark*
ness.
“Her husband, it was said, tried
afterward for several years to find
out where she was, hut failed entire¬
ly, his wife apparently having deter¬
mined to elude the closest search,
Her children, both of whom are at
present in New York, grew up in ig¬
norance of their mother’s liistor, but
they are naturally interested in tho
renewal of the search, as is her hus¬
band, who lives iu Vermont. I have
had a correspondence with Mr. Bar¬
ker in reference to the matter, and
he has promised to render all possi¬
ble aid in discovering the fate of his
wife. He said that twenty years at
least had wow elapsed since she dis¬
appeared. Mr. Pi out, her uncle,
whose pioperty is to be divided, was
more than 82 years old when he died
He had lived and died a bachelor,
lie mad his fortune in the manufac*
turu of printing ink in Spring street
and lived and died in one of his
houses adjoining the factory. He re¬
tired suddenly from business about
twenty years ago, and, until lately,
his factory was just jn the same con¬
dition as it was when the machinery
stopped, The money lie had accum¬
ulated in business was invested m
real estate and registered bonds, and
he has left at least $1,300,000 to bo
distributed among his heirs. Ilad ho
continued his business and made safe
investments ho would probably have
died three times a millionaire. Ilis
last illness extended over only tlireo
or four days, and, as ho did not think
he was going to die, he made no will.
His nephews and nieces will all fare
weli, each receiving more than $l 0 ().r
000 even should Mrs. Barker reapr
pear and claim her share, which all
the relatives hope will he the case.’*
