July the Tourth, at Gettysburg, our wounded leader lay: Another Hancock's name is born upon this glori ous day; There gallant Reynolds risked his life, and for the Union died, And Barksdala fell, a soldier true, upon the other side, And those who fought, and these who fell, the Hy ing and the dead. On either side, shall honored be, by brave men The Southern harp shall speak their fame who bravely fought with Lee, And Northern song shall sing their praise who struck for unity; But praise the Lord, from lake to gulf, that we have seen the day When Hancock's uame unites the hosts that wore the blue and gray. Louisville Argus. r, OBSERVATIONS. "Love," says the Philadelphia Chronic 'makes many a good right arm go to waist." In Kansas when a man marries his divorced wile's sister they call it swapping sisters-in-law. One Mr. Coffin has Just completed the life of Garfield. The fact is not without significance. Theie isn't much difference between a grass widow and a grasshopper, after all. Either Jump at the first ehance. By contrasting Garfield's letter with his speech on the Chinese question it Is evident he has bad an attack of spinal disease. In some respects the gentler sex far surpasses us. No man, for instance, can deliver a lecture with a dozen pins in his mouth. "Adam never had to beat the carpet," says an exchange. ro, but he had to beat a retreat in the height ot the Irult season. A sailor put a saddle on hind part before A by stander showed him his error. The sailor ex claimed: "How do you know which way I am going to ride?" . The church was warm; the minister was dull, and everybody fell asleep except half-witted J amine. "My brethren' shouted the indignant pastor, "you should take the example of that fool there. He keeps awake " "Ay, ay, minister," said Jamine "but If I hadn't been a fool, I would have been asleep like the others." An American girl says that English matds and matrons playfully call men "horrid, nasty, greedy things;" that wedded people address eath other as "you stupid old darling," and that girl-friends call each other, "you nasty little pet."

And the women V "What is to be said of them with their marvelous color combinations and their picturesque ap pearance and the virginal downcast style of look which has come in with tigjit cut, flowing garments and the penthouse-roof . style, of tangled eye darkening locks? Here, is a girl in a chjoraatic scaje of burnt sienna drap ery. Several different tints blend and cause her to resemble a living walking cup of rhubarb and magnesia, like what the nurses-x)f our childhood inflicted on our shrinking selves as we sat up in bed shivering in our nightgowns and lis tened to.tha gentle tinkling of the tea spoon that heraiaea the nauseous draught. Children now know nothing of filthv physic ; and this fair girl, with her hyacinthine looks and sparkling blue eyes, little wrecks what horrid memories she has inspired us with. This grand creature is the goddess Ju no, with suavely-flowing robes of grass greep, bordered at the edge with golden tracery, ana a oonnet u it a uonnet or is it not rather the nimbus of the cods ?) all studded with big ox-eyed daisies. How majestically she moves! Y ho is it? She was once a little bare-footed model running nudely in the mud ; now she has married a great painter, whose ideal is Greek, so his wife wears Juno's dress, and looks monstrous well in it, too, by Jove! Here comes, surely, our ail v of desDair. who has eaten or Dead Sea fruit, and has found it calcined with bitterness and salt-tasting tears. Her brow is sad, her eves are wide and dark-rimmed. Her face is long and angular; her garments are sad-colored, and might be stained, irom their ap pearance, with the dews and toils of years of travel green that has turned blue, pink that has faded into yellow. white that has merged into pale gray these are " the tints she affects ; her hands are white and worn in one sh carries a lily, for she is an admirer of isurne-J ones and her nusoand keeps a large draper's, shop in the city. And the little lady here is a poetess, decked with barbaric-looking gold ornaments and a black-and-crimson gown. What a pretty-looking face it is, and what speaking, frightened-looking, fawn-like eyes! She writes or love well, who could helpjloving her ? And this one is a musician, her inky leeks thrown back and curling into wavy ringlets, like a Medusa head. She has composed an an them and '"Miserere," and wears a brown dress, with pleatings at the waist and straight dull folds, like the Madonnas of Fra Angelico. And Old and Terrible Crime Revived Two of tbe Benders in Custody A man and a woman, who are sup posed to be John Bender and his wife Kate, the notorious Kansas murderers, whom the police or the country nave been hunting for over seven years, are now lodged in jail at Fremont, Dodge county, Neb. They were arrested in Colfax county, near Schuyler, coming East. The man said his name was Mc Greger, but admitted that at one time he stayed with the Benders, and saw them put two children in a hole in the garden. The woman claimed that the man was her nusDana.ana mac Doin oi them witnessed some of the murders committed , inKansas. Subsequently the prisoners were visited by Mr. Hoof- land, who, for two years prior to J uly, 1878, was a neighbor ot the uender family, in Kansas, and were fully iden tified by him. The woman admitted that the man was John .Bender, but said that she was not his wife. , Young Kate and John Bender, she said, were with a team taking another road. The party were to have met in Iowa, and then some one was to go to Kansas and dig up $700 buried on old Bender's premises.' 1 The uenaer iamiiy. it win ne re membered, consisted of two men ahd two women, who occupied a one-story eabm on the open prairie in Liebette county, Kansas, which was kept as a sort of wayside tavern - for the accom modation or travelers, csnouiy alter they aecupied . the house remarkable disappearances1 of travelers began to be noted. In February, 1873, and old man and his granddaughter left Cherry vale, near where the Benders lived, in a wag on to go to Fort Scott, but never reached that place. In March Dr. Wm, H. York saw their wagon at Fort Scott, and started to ferret out the mystery. He too disappeared... and a search for him resulted in the discovery of the hndies of the old man and child in a ra vine- with their throats cut. The house tif tha Benders was often visited by the se&i-bhersL and in April, 187Sthe whefle family disappeared. The house was searched and a trap-door discovered underneath which was a well, thaflcror a&4,w?LIls being saturated; with, blood; The body 6iDn York." was found bur iori in tha rarden with a wound in the backol ihe fieacLdsTu'iaialtortfllxna ri a a TtmrA oTfttrps a weft is discovered etehfcftff tfcero.;fi6Atri ot men, and one twem.kl mana tftrrrrt'- has' 'beerir madd tdbaptutfl the The Exploit of Mr. TVnymper, oi the Alpine Club, among- the Andes The London Spectator publishes the following letter from Mr. Whymper, the famous mountain climber, written to a friend in London. He is in South America, and is .accompanied by the two Carrels, the well-known Swiss guides. . Jean Antoine Carrel is the man who made the first ascent of the Matterhorn on the south or Breuil side. Mr. Whymper saya: "After an absence of 41 days I have just returned to Quito. During this time I had six nights in bed, passed seven without any shelter whatever, and the remainder in tents at altitudes varying from 10,000 to 14,500 feet. We were drenched every dav, and every-? thing became so hopelessly sedden with water that it was impossible to get our selves dry. On Saraurcu it rained on one occasion 70 hours without ceasing for a minute, and for more than 6 days out of 7 consecutive ones. The constant exposure and considerable va riations in the temperature threw me on my back, and I had constant diar rhoea, which it was impossible to check, as all our medicines' were exhausted. I returned to Quito five inches less round the waist than when I started, and so weak that I could scarcely ride or walk. Strength is returning now, butl am not up to the mark for high ascents, and shall have to wait here until better. Our objects on this last northern jour ney were the exploration and ascents of Cay am be, Saraurcu and Cotocachi, and the collection of Inca antiquities. We succeeded completely, hut, as, you see, at a somewnat severe cose tjayamoe is 39,200 feet, Saraurcu is 15,600 and Coto cachi 16,200 feet high. The ascent of the highest mountain gave us least trouble, and the lowest one gave us most I waited for fourteen days be fore I could see it, as it is almost per petually enveloped in mist. To arrive at it we had to force our way through virgin forest, for it lies well away to the east of the other Andes, and is be yond the region of paths or tracks. . All its waters descend to the Amazon. A variety of cane found here, growing 9 to 10 feet high, forms an almost impene trable jungle, and you have to cut or force your way through it as best you can. The leaves cut like razors and their points pierce like needles. The mountains hereabout are everywhere like saturated sponges,. through the in cessant rains, and for , days we waded rather than walked over them. The puma, tapir and bears are common around Saraurcu, and their tracks are very numerous. I saw one magnificent bear crashing through the cane as though it quite enjoyed it, and others of my party saw tapirs. One morning we saw puma tracks round our tent, but we did not see the brute. Wild and savage cattle are also numerous around Saraurcu, and are sometimes of great size and power. They are escaped cat tle or the descendants ot escaped cattle from the farms around Cayambe, and are sometimes very ferocious. There were two immense bulls that we saw several times, which trotted about at an amazing pace, and took leaps like cha mois, j. A. Carrel was out one day try ing to do a little bit of exploration, and was auacuea irom me rear oy inese beasts. He was looking"over a preci pice, peering into theJog, when hearing some noise he turned round and saw them approaching from opposite direc tions with lowered heads, ready to give him a lift over. He bolted up a little peak, with both in close pursuit, and theykept him a prisoner for, I think, over two hours. Whenever he tried to escape they rushed at him, but at last he succeeded by a feint in enticing them both to the same side, and scram bled, down the other and outwitted them." Forney a a Democratic Recruiting; Ofricer. Col. John W. Forney, in the last num ber of his Progress, says: "There are three classes of men that are daily joining the Hancock column, JNortn and South, exclusive of the Union vet erans. These are the Republicans of the Charles Sumner school, the Repub licans and Democrats of the Douglass school who voted for Abraham Lincoln, and the Republicans who have grown tired ot the rings ot the JNortn ana tne carpet-baggers of the . South. I receive letters every day from men of one or the other of these classes. On Satur day, July 24, 1880, I received several. One is irom Daniel it. liooaioe, a re publican of the old school, a Southern abolitionist for thirty years, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, and one of the ablest Republican writers during the war. He was an emancipation commissioner under Lincoln, and has held many offices of trust and honor. I was associated with him in journal ism at a time when to be a Republican editor was not to be called on constant ly to advocate doubtful measures and to whiten odious and inferior politi cians." The Hun would add tnac mr. Goodloeis a thoroughly honest and con servative man. A Happy Impulse. While sitting in the ears recently, one of New York's wealthiest steamboat owners read the ad vertisement of the1 Louisiana St ate Lottery Com pany. He felt an urestsUDM impulse to- dot a Ucket. It was on the morning ot the June draw ing, and he telegraphed foe a ticket Tbe lists had not closed at No. aid Broadway, New York city, and he received from li. A. Dauphin a ticket the last one1 sold there when to bis surprise, in a few hours afterwards, he received a notice lniormlne him that he had drawn $5,000. "Is there such a thine as luck?"
