SI- AND HIS WORK. Benjamin Davenport House, whose dfath occurred last Monday, was one ef many unfortunate men doomed to be generally misunderstood and misjudged. His career may be described as that of a soldier, poet and journalist. The impressions upon tbe mind of a boy- who sees men slain iu battle at au ape when be should be at home cannot be of tbe best, and Mr. House's life was, to a crest degree, influenced by his service in tbe army. His bealtb was ruined by wounds received In battle, and bis death, after twenty-fire years, is directly traceable to them. Like all geniuses, he was variable, and very often, if not always, acted according to mood. His edecation was self-acquired, bnt tbe ranee of subjects in which be- was informed was remarkably broad. Any tbina that pleased him be would study thoroughly. His memory was wonderful, and consequently anything be bad rerd or personally witnessed was ever at his command. Saxe was not more witty than be, and bis sharp retorts tended to make him unpopular. While in the army he was several times reduced for insubordination and addressing disrespectful remarks to bis superiors. ' As a boy, Mr. House was fond of reading poetry, and war lyricd best pleased bis fancy, lie did some verse-writing; before joining the army, and while a soldier contributed poems to various newspapers, among them being the Worcester (Mass. ) Spy. Upon putting down the sword, pencil and pen came readily to bis band In addition to his journalistic work, be wrote occasional poems throughout bis life, and to bis later work as a poet this article is directed. So slightingly did be reeard bis poetic writincs that be preserved none of them until urged to do eo by a friend who gave him a scrap-book for the purpose. This book contains nothing written prior to 1SS1. Mr. House's poems are peculiar in their originality. If they show the influence of any contemporary writer, it is Whittier. - Nothing could be stranger than that a man so truly a soldier and a lover of thin gs war-like should hold In the highest esteem the simple Quaker poet. Dante be placed above Shakspeare. He was conversant with the writings of the Greek poets, and preferred old to pew poetry. However, when it is said that he imitated Whittier the statement applies chiefly to descriptive poems. . He wrote with little or no effort, bis ideas accommodating themselves to line and verso with ease. He wrote smoothly, but one great fault was that be sometimes repeated the same expressions until they became threadbare. His war poems are the strongest of those he preserved, and are to be taken as among his best. "Present Arms" was the- title of a stirring song printed through a syndicate, on Independence day, several years ago. Two stanzas are subjoined: Roar guns, acain. with a peace evangel! iilend gray of smoko with blue of the sky, As the I J uo and gray were wrought and blended When war's red horror had passed us by. I'eal forth, asaln, your notes. Oh, bugles! , With sounds of pea ce like a rhythmic rune; t?aluto with yoir songs the Nation's morning, That never shall know an afternoon. Through this voem are striking couplets like this: Poor forfh from your iron lies. Ob, cannon, The rose-rod breath of a mighty laugh. Mr. House was in demand as a reader of original poems at soldier reunions and anniversaries. At the dedication of the Knigbtstown Home for Soldiers' Orphans be recited to the children a poem of his own composition, which was beautiful in its entirety, but exceptional is this quotation: ! No dole of eharlty ye eat, -' Hut bread from grain that shall not fail, Oatbeaten when war's sound.ng flail ' Threshed out men's souls like grains of wheat. In another poem of this character, written in the same stanza-form, these words occur: For those we fought in all my song Not any thread of hate is blent, Who, ureed by their environment, Against us battled for the wrong. Next to these verses on patriotio themes, and perhaps of greater literary value, are Mr. House's deseriDtive poems. He was a lover of the beautiful, and saw tbe glories of nature with appreciative eyes. Tie could draw a scene that -won'.-l aland out like a picture. However, these poems, though perfect in execution, show the frequent iteration before mentioned, ana in a collection the repetitions are tbe more obvious. A poem called "The Wine of Summer," printed many years ago and copied everywhere, was one of the best of these. Every autumn it is again started the rounds. Tbe first and last stanzas .are reproduced, and they show bis perception J And method of treatment: j The sun toward the south has rolled. The shades of autumn follow, t The batterment, like burnished gold, shines in the shaded hollow. I Too Indolent to ever think ( All thoughts unwelcome comers, - As in a waking dream I drink The wine of ripened summers. r The poems on miscellaneous subjects are mostly short. Mr. House could crowd a eood deal into a quatrain, or sonnet, the latter being a favorite form of expression. He was well informed in sacred history. Although generally supposed to be an atheist he possessed a grand faith which is seen everywhere in his writings. Indicative of this is "A Prayer," from which a .Versa is taken: i I only ask for faith that I May po beyond the gleaming Of marble points that pierce the sky, ; A simple glimpse of by and by Of those X love, who roue-couched lie. To prove I am not dreaming. Those who knew him best believe that bis ir reverence was largely ior enect. This wore .vov aj be grew older. He held the hvnocrite In high c'isdain. and. in bis poems, now and then vented Lis sprie against those whom be deemed insincere. For buro-olf be said: i On the one faojt, I am. I base my trust. And beinjr. X m neithcr'poor nor mean An atom lostwithn a world of dust, , , Kit 1 had; never been. . Again, in 'jCJod's Gift," be writes: i I am net worthy, O Alltruidiog Father. ' VTho was so blind of siirht and trust in Thna Thfcfc round about my erring life should gather The joys Thou givest me. , Hut Thy kind hand hatfi lifted every sadness Tiiat held n in their circling cinctures bound, An1 throotrh Thy (rift I wear a golden gladness With which my life is crowned. Frequently, in his poems. Mr. House struck a wnet sad strain that could come from cone otner than a trusting, symbathetio heart It was due to this that bis work was so widely copied by the press. Poets who attempt amatory verse tread on daneeroas ground, but Mr. House wrote many beautiful love poems. One of these is a pure gem. It is called ATEB EGO. If my freed soul were of its sins forgiven, And Asrel at its si le escorting flew To guide it straijrbtwar t the realm of Heaven, I would compel his flight with it to you. And. r-ausins there, refuse his further leading. And he -from thence alona his flight sh&uid wend. For I would prove to biai through love's strong pleading. That i had reached ray journey's utmost end: Ar.d lingering there, perhaps without your knowing. Until your eyes should clone in life" eclipte, JJy kiss, when yours to find my soul was going, bUocld meet it at the portal of your Hp. Nearly every verse-writer has had his fling at Hero mud Leander, bnt a love poem of power is Mr. House's Leander to Hsro," the first five lines being: O! Hero mine, hold out your awns to me! Put let your white hand gleam from out the tower. And tf.ouph black clouds o'er all the sky she -Jd lower, Ami w:liiy foam th' rudely,- wind-la.hed sea. And Hellespont were hell, I would cits o'er to thee! " No amateur rhymester's hand cut those clear ,'ines. There were seven verses of this poem, and those quoted are no better than any that follow. It u safe to say that none of tbe "Atlantic school" havrt dace anything better than this salutation to Pian-i . trkiestess at Sstos. Mr. House first wrc ".ft : ;wm in blank verse, and always said that be weakened it by putting it in rbymett line. Blank verse be bundled very well indeed. Fully as beautiful as the poem just mentioned is ' majestic piece of unrhymed verse called "iealousy." It begins: , Not jealous of the dead? Why of the air That clasps you round I feel a iealous thrilL This is cot on! r a new note but a clear and Strong one. A kciphtly grice which characterized bis actions snows m clear relief in Mr. House's writings He was, a soldier primarily and wrote as a soldier. Not. however, as one of modern tiroes, but as a member of King -Arthur's court of old. o iiighlr did Mr. House' place Arthur that bo

BEN D.

studied all the literature relating to him for an

entire winter air. House wrote many sonnets; too many, ho cften said. One of tbe best is VERB IT BUT TRUE. Ah, were the legend of Pygmalion true I think my hand would clench the chisel so That all my soul would to my fincers flow Till they would 'bring my inmost thoughts to view. As I should from the shapeless marble hew A form that, like your own. should surely grow So true, fl at 'ueath my carving hand would show My soul's ideal the counterpart of you. And nv r.s stone should there nnbreathing lie A soulless httpe wrought r y th sculptor's knife; For I would voice my soul with such a cry That it should hear and rise, my breathing wife. Breaking its sleep with love's awakinif sigh hen I had loved it into pulsing lie. Often Mr. House left too much to tbe imagination of his readers, but this is not alwavs a fault. Here is one piece in which vagueness adds to the effect, and a vivid picture is produced Dy a lew quica strokes: who! Low lap of water midst the sed?e An owl's weird hoot from caverned legde, A shadow at the water's edge; By clouds tbe solemn star-light crossed, A sullen plunge, the shadow lost. The lake's cairn surface wave-embossed. A plunge in search of Lethe's well. To queuch the fires of memory's hell. Perchance 'twas found: but who can tell? The lake resumes its rlaid blue. An echo breaks the stillness through. From off the ledge a ghostly -whoo!" Tn this review an effort has ben made to show the general trend of Mr. House's work. He was a poet who wrote only when it pleased him to do r r ... so. ne scoued at inspiration, and said he could write as satisfactorilr at one time as another. He was freauutlv railed upon to prepare poems upon special subjects, and would laushingly speak of "filline orders for rhyme." If some person competent for trie duty, who knew the man well, and judeed him kindly, were to go throngh the collection of his poems, carefully jadfc of their merits, and edit where necessary, a volume might be prepared whirb would be a valuable addition to American literature For the most part, his later writings appeared in the Journal, aithouen be contributed to the Current in its better days, to th Boston Tranreript, and other publications. Two or three poems, on which he bestowed ereat care, were accepted by one of th Eastern mseazines, but have not yet been published. HeAckel pa tience. If be did not finish a poem at a single sitting, be would cast it aside and give in no further attention. An impression that he had no friends caused him to be morose, and tnin feeling is seen in bis poetry. If he did not like any one whom he met be was not at all backward in voicing bis sentiment- He mingled little in societv, and from choice li&ed a peculiar 6emi-hermit life. Of late years he ha not been at all times his real self, but troubles and failing health were responsible for many of his idiosvnerasies. The writer has never seen a man more magnetio. He was an aereeahle companion when be cared to be, and impressed one as the well-bred gentleman bis intimates knew him to be. The sestet of a sonnet which he wrote upon the occasion of Grant's death may fittingly be reproduced in conclusion: O folded band, that held war's bridle-reins; O tired heart! thou hast at last release From all earth's fret and sense-enslaving pains; Let every sound of mournful wailinsr cease; For thy white tent is pitched on restful plains. Where thou hast found at length the longed-for peacej THE GRAVE OF A MARTYR, Xo Sijn to 3Iark the Last Resting: Place of a Man who Was Slain by the Liquor Interest. Racine, Wis., 'July 9 It is almost a year since the assaseination of Rev. George Haddock, the temperance champion of Sionx City. The crime attracted national attention, and temperance organizations and ministerial meetings throughout tbe country adopted r e sol n f ans eulogizing the deceased, paying tributes to bis memory and denouncing tbe act by which he lost bis life. A splendid coffin inclosed his remains, a special car broucht them to Racine, and a vast crowd, which included representatives of many leading cities, surrounded the open grave when his body was committed to the earth. All this was less than a year ago. To-day a str&neer in Racine mieht . search Moma Cemetery from one end to the other without finding the grave of the martyred preacher unles in his st-arch he wero aided by the sexton. But with the belp of this official be might find himself standing near a little spot of bare ground, fast sinking beneath the level of the surrounding surface. This is the Haddock "tomb," desolate and nncared for, not a wreath of immortelles or a wooden cross to j$.ljthe.namq of. him who sleeps beneath. Shortly after the murder a .movement. was started for the purpose of raising a fund for the erection of a monument, but it collapsed after a brief existence, and the last resting place of the once great temperance exhorteris in appearance and immediate surroondines little if any better than a bole in tbe potter's field. . INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS. The Trade of tbe Week Quite Satisfactory Prices, In the Main, Firm. INDIANAPOLIS, July 9. In all departments merchants speak of the trade in the week closing to-day as having exceeded their expectations at its opening, and, in the main, prices are firm and steady. Even tbe coffee market has taken on a firmer tone, and reports from the East to-day show that, with an increasing inquiry, prices are stiffening, and further advances are looked .for the coming week. Sugars rule steady, and there is a lsrge distribution in progress. Other articles in the grocery line are unchanged. The provision market is firmer, and, in a jobbing way, considerable doing. The produce markets are active for the season. " Potatoes, cabbage, . and in fact vegetables of all kinds, are in large supply and tending lower in price. Poultry and eegs are coming in freely for July, and prices are well maintained. Butler, a really choice article, in demand at the advances noted Friday morning. For creameries there is a good demands A better class of peaches and apples are coming on to the market, and prices are firm at the ranee which we quote. The dry goods men are through their semi-annual stock-taking, and are straightening up matters for an early and active fall trade. Lemons higher, with an active de mand. But few oranges on the market, and the demand is limited. GRAIN7. The local wheat market toot on a stronger tone, and prices were a shade higher. The de mand for home consumption and for shipment good. Corn was a little off, and the bidding on Change showed that there was no one anxious to buy. Oats firm and in good demand. Re ceipts of wheat on the increase, while arrivals of corn are meagre.

He says the operation was first performed in Europe about six months ago. The operation was broucht to the notice of the medical profession in 1S72, by Von Vursobaum and Billroth Prof. E. Andrews, of Chicago, operated, May 15, 1876. probably the first operation in this country of the kind. He stretched both crural and sciatic nerves for painful nervous spasms of the lower extremities,' the result of traumatism. Since town almost every snrgeon of note in this country bas operated. W. J.
