. : 'E‘HE OLD BARN. i : "BY ALFRED B. STREET. j The ghostly old barn with its weather-stained frame, . ; How often it rises to view! - In its narrow, greeu lane, cut in parallel tracks, Where the heary old farm-wagom wheeled tbmth. b Its bmftdt oldipg doors, and the stable doors nexty g And'thé roof, sparing upward in gloom, : Save the mnet-work of light from the knot-holes and chinks, : £ Which scairce conld the darkness iliume. - The hay-mow, how fragrant and weleome its weengll ) i How soft and elastic the hay! Lt The noo\]:{s, what safe coverts fm\i hide-and-go-eeck! | 3 ; The floor, what a platform for play! On -thz‘llt f}(')Ol‘, Jike the bedt of a pulse, went the : ail! 5 And the huskers, the corn how they hulled! And, s'hen cenecd the hnsking, how merry the ance Till the stars in the daybreak were dulled. Next the yellow-brinimed oat-bin the straw-cut-ter gtood, - Tge barrel of chaff by its side; And a cast-away plow, broken off at the top, With clay-staines all over it dyed. i ) A spad ei( a cleft grindstone, a saw-buck, aqd the: cask, e With a brace of bright pitchforks stood near; And I] ;;nvicd the strength that the loads to the ; oft ! : ‘\‘\'ith their cresent bent handles could rear. Oh, what thongh the storm blustered flercely without, o And the hail as from catapults flew? « There dozed the meek oxen gecure ie their stallg; | o And, with Crumple, did nothing but chew. There chanticleer ruamed with * his partlets about, j Each seratching and snatching the seeds; -And the pigeons flew in on their silken-toned wingg— 3 'Twas & picture of comfort, indeed ! A rough harness streamed from a peg in a beam, A saddjp gat, bridle hung nigh; And thc; road wagon stood bright as eatin, besiae,’ : 5 : . With its silver-plate trappings near by. Next champed the two steeds, and what trotters : they were! And I counted it one of our joys e To ride them with halter, barebacked to the pond—, : Then race with the rest of the boys. t The lane in the summer, how greenly it smiled ‘With its milk-weeds and tall mullen-spears! There I gliced the long pumpkin-vines, wreathed _ through the fence, For thc'trum{cts that deafened all ears. And the pumpkins, what lanterns they made, to be sure! What mouthg, and what noses and eyes! And \fvhen on my head flamed the most horrible ‘ ace, : How thé_ honsehold resounded with cries!

Insthe sunsef, how jolly to hog, skip and jump, . And run a swift race to and fro; Or search in the mow and the manger for eggs, And pocket them clogely from show. | i . In the dusk, what clear fun to chase lig‘htuing bugs round, : The bettle to strike in its ficht; Or bawl out. “*Bat, bat, come into my hat,” : Or play tag until deep into the night. Cld Crumple, 80 sure as she came to the pail, We stoned till she waddled away; What cared we for Molly? secure in the weeds, ~We langhed as ghe gearched where we lay. And old Tom, purring softly, at peace on the : 08t~ - & llm\?c‘mse grazed the clam-shell we shied, Till he lengthencd hig fiame in a gallop for life, While mirth Lrought the stitch to our side! But, alas! the old barn has long since Pnsscd § away— : - - The lane has been turned to a street And the fields into court®yards and gardens of flowers; ; All is new—all is strange that I meet, 3 All have shrunken in size, and the distances too— The pond at the wood is near by; And thc‘ long fence I trembled to skirtin the night, / As I pass it, scarce catches my eye.

FT. WAYNE CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the National Bauner:

I received the BANNER to-day, and it was a very welcome -visitor. TFor @he timebeing it relieved my somewhat lonesome hours by bringing me in contact with old; familiar faces again, and for fear I may be forgotten, I will sketech down a few ideas from this city, which may be of some interest to your readers. | The Summit City, so called from . the fact that the waters as they fall from heaven here divide and flow to thie great lakes upon the north and east of us, and also help to swell the great rivers to the south and west of _us, is certainly a promising city. The «most enthusiastic citizens of the place claim for it a population of fully thirty thousand, and they may not be far i out of the way. Judging from the number of calls for houses to live in, I should think the population is rapidly increasing. Many think that Ft. Wayneis to continue its rapid growth until it becomes a great city, and that its population will be doubled within the next decade. - Such fancies, of course, can only be realized through the energy and enterprise of its people. It has no natural advantages, but there is wealth here and that is what builds cities. This is a great railroad center, and Ft. Wayne is especially a railroad town, no other interest having done szb much in building up the city. = The P., Ft. W. & C. and the Wabash roads have located their mammoth shops here and employ hundreds of men, and other roads are building shops which will give work to many more. This interest will never grow less, but enlarges all the time. ; ; s

Fort Wayne contains many beautiful residences and some fine streets. These beautiful homes are scattered all over the éity. They are not confined to any one locality or street, thus showing that the aristocracy and the people are pretty thoiroughly mixed up here. The street railway seems to be a decided success and has recently been extended to more distant paits of the city. A former citizen of your place, Mr. Graffmiller, seems to have, to a great extent, the management of the street railway. It is a cheap and rapid way of getting about the city. Since I came here, there have been several fires, small of course, but large enough to get out the whole fire department. To one not accustomed to them, these fire scenes are quite exciting, indeed they are almost alarming.

The ringing of the bells, and especially the court-house bell which is near, excites the people; soon the hose cart passes, drawn by nien or horses, with frightful yells; then comes the hook and ladder wagon at break-neck speed, the horses being urged to go “.faster at every jump; and right after them comfl the two fire engines at about | the same velocity, with great volumes i of /black - smoke issuing from their smoke stacks and strewing their path | with a perfect stream of fire. Now, when all this occurs in the early part of'the evening, while the streets are full of people, the sight is certainly grand, if not frightful. : Allen county is put doWwn as one of the counties in the State that haye an Independent county ticket in the field, and I see that some of the newspapers are urging their ¢laims and iprophesying great results at the coming fall election. But I think from what I can learn, that the candidates upon the regular democratie ticket have not anuch to fear, and I am ,\nq')t able to observe any good reason why a Democrat in -this county. at this time, should drop the nominees of his own party and vote for men who represent no party. I do not believe that a man is under the same obligation to do just right in office who has no organized party behind him as the one who knows that not only the people but his party are watching him and expecting him to do right in his official capacity. Jlf bad men are put upon tickets, the people should scratch them off and vote for their opponents, if they are any better. . - The temperance element here is considerably excited over the probable repeal of what is left of the Baxter law and the substitution of a wellguarded license law therefor. They hold meetings frequently in the courthouse yard, with not very large audiences. Mrs. Molloy was over here and spoke upon the subject. T think she pleased. the crowd very well. A gentleman from the southern part of the State, who claimed to be a Democrat, also made a few remarks, in the course of which he declared his intention to vote the entire republican State ticket. This indicates tome the motives that prompted him to speak. lle undoubtedly has had a .consultation with.the candidates 111)611 the republican State ticket, and I think any unprejudiced persgn would come to -the conclusion, after listening to their speeches, that the movement is in the interevst of the I'epu"l)lican party and will do the temperan'ce cause much harm, as they will learn before it is through with. . It is a two-edged sword and will cut both ways. . . Sept 4. . ¢ | XAVIER.

Delalb County Ktems. {From the Waterloo Press, Septemberl7.]

~There were no applications for “permits” at the recent session of our county board. ‘ .

Our Butler friends are “enthused” over a report that the Canada Southern is to be built into their town.

S. M. Smith, Secretary Illinois Farmers’ Association, will address the independent party of this county, at Auburn, September 23, 1874. ‘A Chapter of Accidents.—On Saturday last the half-grown son of C. A. O. MecClellan, wlhile boxing with other beys in rear of Patterson’s store, fell under the feet of a team of horses.— The horses immediately started, one of them striking the boy’s head, making a flesh wound. One wheel of the wagon also passed over his body, but almost miraculously, the boy was not dangerously hurt. The same day Dr. Johnston’s son fell from a building, bruising his face badly. On Sunday last, the demoeratic candidate for Coungress, while putting his carriage into the barn, was kicked in the face by a two-year old colt. A few moments afterwards Mr. Kelley was found by his friends in an insensible condition. He was takén to the house, where he recovered in a few moments so far as to be able to relate how the accident occurred. Ie is now in a fair way to get entirely over the hurt, but he will not be in a condition to talk muech for several days. &

B o What Brownlow Says.

~ Speaking of the civil rights bill, Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, tells his republican friends these emphatic truths:

“The negro now has the equal protection of the laws. In other words, he has-equal political rights with the whites. Residesthis,in all the Southern States he has equal facilities for education at public expense, though he does not pay one-tenth of one per cent. on the dollar of the taxes which are collected to support the schools.— No invidious distinctions are made against him. Education in these States is out of the sphere of politics.” “Nearly all the hope of the rising generation is in their common school system,” the Senator adds, repeating with’ the emphasis of italics: *Under this the colored people have equal education facilities with the whites, though they don’t pay one mill on the dollar of the taxes which are collected for the support of the schools.” , il o The Michigan Democraey for Hard : Pan. 4 The inflation bubble has no supporters among the intelligent Democrats of Michigan. In their State convention two weeks since these men of practical good sense resolved: “We demand a repeal of the Legaltender Act, to take ‘eflt‘qct not later than July 4, 18:76; ‘a specie basis, and free banks . with a secured currency.” That doctrine is gaining new friends every day. The people are coming to it, and not very slowly at that. et - B—— A Home Testimonial. » The Democrat published at Bryan, Ohio, the former home of the Demo-cratic-Liberal candidate for Representative for Noble, says: ' “The many Williams county friends of O. D. Willett will be glad to learn that he has been nominated for Rep--resentative by the- Democrats of the Kendallville, Indiana, district. We hope he will be returned by a rousing majority.” - o ,

THE LAPORTE SCANDAL. A TOUCHING LETTER FROM MRS. ROBINSON. ‘ She Declares that Her lusband Shall Not Suffer for Her Wrong-Doing. Card fromthe Lady’s Brothers Fully Ex- : onerati:g Dr. Robinson. - {From the Inter-Ocean. September 17. ] A few weeks ago the Inter-Ocean published a special dispatch from Laporte, Ind., giving the alleged facts of. a divorce case begum in the courts there, wherein Dr. S. A. Robinson was plaintiff and his wife was defendant. Mrs. Robinson was charged with adultery, and our dispatch stated that there. was' reason to believe that the lady was the victim of a monstrous conspiracy on the part of her husband, who had becoine tired of her, ete.— There were other charges reflecting on Dr. Robinson’s private and professional eharacter, all of which we nowbelieve, from the evidence submitted to us, to have been without foundation, and, of course, very unjust to him.— As became us, we immediately made the amende honerable, and stated editorially, on the day folowing, that we were convinced injustice had been done. Some of the citizens of Laporte seemed to think we had been misled, and wrote “‘ifl" that effect; but they will see, we think, from the subjoined documents that we had good reasons for our oninion: We may say in this connection, that it was first determined to publish the original papers in the case, all of which have been submitted to us; but on the advice of friends, Mrs. Ifobinson has been spared the spectacle of their publieity, though she did not ask it herself. Of course, those who will not believe her word and the word of her brothers and oth--er relatives, will not be convinced by any evidence that might be submitted; but we say now, as we said then, that if human testimony is to be relied upon, Di. Robinson has been the sufferer and not-the conspirator in this case.— In a private note to the Inter-Ocean, - Murs. Rabinson says:

o , SEPTEMBER 14, 1874. Editors Inter-Ocean: : Sir:—The accompanying letter for publication you know to bejin ‘accordance with facts. , . T desire it to be published conspicuously, and with sueh heading as may best call attention to its connection with previous articles. Any instructions received from my brother, J. G. Butler, or my counsel, Judge Farrand, will be satisfactory to me. - BESTHER B. ROBINSON.

: ——, MICH., SEPT. 14, 1874 To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean: ;

Sir:—On Saturday, Sept. 12, 1874, I met my bxother, Jno. G. Butler, and my counsel, Judge M. K. Farrand, of Laporte, in ' Sturgis, Mich., and there saw for the first time the series of articles published in your paper bearing on'the “Laporte Scandal.” As.a principal party in this affair it becomes an imperative duty to give the | exact facts of the case. -

~ As briefly as may be they are as follows: My husband, Dr. S. A. Robinson, has brought suit against me for divorce. As my case was incapable of legal defense I employed no counsel until forced to do-so to defend myself against meddlesome outside interference. My husband is a man whose friends are warm and enemies Dbitter, and the ighorant defense I.receive comes rather from enmity to him than friendship to me.! Let it be observed that my personal friends ang relatives who have seen me habitually 'do not consider me weak-minded, insane, unduly coerced, or in aily sense incapable of free action, and, that, without exception, they justify my husband.— The facts upon which this action for divorce is based were l'first made known to my husband by my‘ own voluntary confession, March 5, 1874. This confession was made, not on the impulse ‘of a moment, but sprung from a sincere repentance and afi unflinching resolution—whatever it costs me, home, friends, husband, child, or life itself—to cut myself loose from ail unworthy entanglement, and live. somewhere a good pure life. ‘I had not known my husband intimately, nor been his trusted wife eleven (11) years. without learning that of all men I ever knew his love and sympathy were the deepest and furthest to be trusted. He felt all the indignation, grief, and revenge that any man would feel, but he trusted my good faith, for he saw my agony of sorrow. Ihad no parents to go to and we had one child dear to-us both as life, itself. After mature thought he: decided to give me the shelter of his home, though not as his wife, and this always, if possible, but subject to the chanece of publicity. My remorse was such that he felt I needed every help to give me fortitude to bear up. He changed the whole appearance of our home; that association might not so constantly lacerate my heart, and in every way possible encouraged me to look forward to a useful life, and to believe myself still valued "and loved. Divorce was ultimately forced upon us by growing and inevitable publicity. Facts were known by too many to remain concealed, and T felt it better to rest under a specified truth than to be the subject of many terrible suspicions, affecting innocent parties and our only child. I did not enter on the path of right-doing without counting the cost. What my husband suffers from my past conduct bredaks my heart, and further wrong he shall not endure. I here characterize all aspersions on his general and professional character, and upon his conduct toward me, both now and throughout our married lhfe, as false in general and particdlar, cruel and largely malicious. I am at present in the home of my choice with my dead mother’s sister. My ‘husband accompanied me here that he might personally-assure this Christian family of his confidence in me. Thanks, to this kindness, and while knewing all the circumstances, my aunt and uncle give me a loving home. At my request my eldest brother is in my husband’s house, that he may assure himself and my family of my husband’s good faith, and prove to all candid persons the fact that we consider Dr. Robinson my best friend. A silly assertion that I have been presistently drugged by him I mention only to s&fimt such use of morphia as I have 1 made has been my own doing, and that my husband has aided me to abandon it.. It was when entirely free from it or any remedy against it, that I gathered resolution to make full confession, and courage to endure unknown retribution. go long as I live so as to justify my husband’s confidence, nor will it be disturbed by rumor or gOasépp: he promises me peeuniary support, and as soon as my health is sufficient the care of our little son. Not that these great

privileges are my right, but his generous trust and loving sympathy give them to me, and my heart overflows with gratitude to God who has given me the teuest friend a woman ever had. This letter I write freely, approved by my aunt and friends here. My brother and .counsel, to whom [ submit it will confirm it as they see -fifit.—-—-Every paper which has published anything bearing on this. case is under obligation to publish this letter also as the only authentic version of the case, and due to themselves as well as.a much injured gentleman.- - 2 .. EsTHER B. ROBINSON. - LaAprorTE, Ind,, Sept. 10, 1874, To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean: s : Sir: The undersigned, brothers of Esther B. Robinson, the, writer of the accompanying communication, 'and residing respeetively in the States of. Michigan and Wisconsin, being of lawful age, and Walter H. Butler, one of said brothers, a lawyer by profession, having been called upon by our said sister for advice and assistance in her present trouble, and having had our aftention ealled to the-axrticles published in your paper in regard to the same matter, have made thq‘;’rqugh investigation of the merits of' hier case, both by full inquiry of lier at our home, and by personal visits 'to Laporte, where we now. are. -Wée are fully satisfied that she has ever received from Dr. Robinson’ kind and affectionate treatment, and that his course toward her since the discovery of her offense against- him has been honorable and magnanimous to sueh ~an extent as to epmmand from us our warmest- ;’;‘l‘:ltitud@, ‘and impose upon us the painful duty of publicly declar-: ing our views in Yelation to this deplorable domestic calamity which has fallen upon his family., . 1 We would probably disregard this duty, and allow a deeply wronged-man to suffer,'and spare our own feelings, except for the eonsolation it will afford our deeply penitent and almost heart-broken sister “that we should thus aid ler to protect Dr. Robinson from the great wrong an over-jealous publie seem determined to inflict upon him. g et

We have read and carefully considéred the accompanying article.. We know it to have been composed and. written by Mrs. Robinson, in the State. of Michigan, and in the absense of Dr.Robinson, his counecil, and all his frienas and acquaintances. except the members of our family, and in the lighit of all our knowledgeof the facts we fully coneur in every statement therein contained. We would regard it as an act of ;justice that our statement and that of Mrs. Robinson bepublished by all papers that have copied the-articles 1n the Inter-Ocean above referred to. While we highly appreciate - whatever sympathy the people of Laporte entertain and have expressed for our sister, and the confidence they seem to _have reposed in her charpeter, we have other words for those who have been actuated by malice toward Dr. Robinson, and hereby request that henceforth the case be left to thbse most interested, nameIv: her brothers and- her council.. -

e ‘JOHN G. BUTLER,’ a‘ T WALTER H. BULLER, | RoBERT W. BUTLER. How Hot Iron May Be Handled. About the year 1809, one Lionetto, a Spaniard, astonislied not only the ignorant, but chemists and other men of science, by the impunity with which he handled red-hot iron and molten lead, drank Dboiling oil, and performed other feats equally miraculous. - While he was at Naples he attracted the attention of Professor Sementem, who narrowly watched all his operations- and endeavored to discover his secret. Sementem’s efforts, after performing several experiments upon ‘himself, were finally crowned with success. IHe found that by frietion with sulphurie acid, diluted with water, the skin might be made insensilile to the action of the heat of redhot iron; asolution of aluin, evaporated until it became spongy; appeared to be still more effectual. - After having rubbed the parts which were rendered,!in some degree, incombustible with hard soap, he discovered on the application of hot iron that their insensibility was inereased. :He then determined on again rubbing the parts with soap, and after this found that the’ hot iron” not only -occasioned no pain, but-that it actually did not burn the hair. - Being thus far satisfied, the professor applied hard soap to his tongue until it becamne insensible to the heat-of the iron; and after having placed an ointiment composed of -soap mixed with a solution of alum upon it, boiling:oil did not burnit. While the oil remained -on the tongue a slight hissing was heard, similar"to’,that of hot iron when thrust into water; the ooil soon cooled, and was then swallohyed without_danger. Several scientific men have since successfully repeated the experiment of Professor Sementem. . epde : :

No War of Races. : [From the Ft. Wayne Sentinel, Sept. 17.]

The coup d’etat in Louisiana is no war of races. We are almost sorty that it is not, because of the deep disappointment it will oceasion the republican press. Only one negro was killed in the battle, and he was of the Metropolitan police. Negroes were on the streets all the time and were not } molested by the ’White I.eaguers.— Nay, the negroes took a prominent part in the subsequent rejoicings.— This is sad. - Certain sensational journals cannot gloat in big black headlines about the slaughter of innocent blacks., The ‘slaughter of innocent whites is a trival! matter. Furthermore many Republicans have already admitted thatthe Kellogg government was entirely illegal and a great outrage upon the people of the State and. a disgrace to the whole country. So, after all, it is not a war of races in any . sense of the term.

Governor Penn of Louisiana. [From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Colonel D.P. Penn, who in 1872 was lawfully elected Lieutenant-Governor of Louisiana on the McEnery ticket, ticket, is a man of the best antecedents, socially and commercially. © We fuse the last term with reference to his profmsent connection with the trade of New-Orleans as a commission merchant. He is a native of Virginia,and his family is one of the most respectable and influential of that State. He is neither a placeméannor a politician, and his present connection with party complications in Louisiana grew out of a desire on the part of the people j ; to place the dictatorship of affairs in the hands of those specially identified ‘with the material interests of the State, and specially qualified to promote them. A Greeley Democrat, a strong faction of his party insisted in the campaign of 1872 in placing him at the head of the State ticket, and his nomination to the office of Lieuten-ant-Governor-was the result of a com-- | promise between his fri(in}lls and those of Colonel McEnery. Why he' took the lead in the eoup ’etat does not appear. Coleonel Penn is in the prime of his powers, and, if left to an.open encounter with the scoundrels who ‘ircj i desolating his State, 'he would doubtless bring the matter-to a speedy and happy issue; and, what is more, would probably secure the State of Louisiana the first honest and capable Administration enjoyed since the war. = ° ._.--,,,_‘¢ E——— e Peath of Father Edgerton. ; The death of the lon. Bela Edgerton at the advanced age of 87 years, about ten days ago, is & notable event in Fort Wayne. Ie was the father of the Hon. A. P. Edgerton and a prominent public man for years. Mr. Edger‘ton was born at Franklin, New London, county, Connecticut. He was the third son of Col. Elisha Edgerton, and of the fifth generation in direct lincal descent from Richard Edgerton, one of the thirty-five original proprietors of the town of Norwieh, Connecticut, which was settled in the year 1660. Through a female descendant, M. Edgerton was also of the blood of William ITyde, another of the proprietors and settlers of Norwich. To the geneality of the family and descendants of William llyde, the late Chan- - cellorWalworth,of New York, devoted the latter years of his life in the pro“duction of two larlze volumes, which are a valuable contribution to Ameri- | can biography. . S : L etk HD, AR—— e o . The Difference. The Rensseleer Union in speaking of the last Republican Legislature of Indiana, which was elected upon professions of retrenchment and reform, . pointedly remarks: _ “They increased: the pay of State officers—Senators, Representatives, ete.—sl22,loo. They raised the levy of State tax from 5 up to 15 cents on the $lOO. They increased the vidluation of real and personal property eighty per cent. for taxable

purposes. . They used a surplus of $763,000 which was in the treasury, and made a temporary loan of $710,-000-additional. They increased court expenses $55,000. They passed a law requiring the appraisement of veal estate every two years, thereby more than deubling the ¢xpense of making such appraisement to the tax-payers.”

_. Cause for Dissatisfaction. One of the causes for the dissatisfaction of Southern men with the existing state of things is very sucginctly told in an address which has lieen recently issued at Port Gibson, Miss., from which it appears that the Governor of the Stateis from Massachusetts; the Lieutenant Governor is a negro from another State; the Superintendent of Education is a negro now on trial for felony. lln the county (Claiborne) where the address was issued, the Sheriff can neither read nor write; the negro Coroner is under indictment for burglary; the negro.County Treasurer cannot add up a column of figures; the Board of Supervisors have no real estate interest in the county; and most of the magistrates are negroes, many of whom cannot read,and of course cannat even comprehendithe laws they pretend to administer, ' It would be hard to conceive a more desperate political condition than this. Setting Things Right. “The Board of Trade of Columbus; S. C., have adopted resolutions denouncing “the attempt of certain parties, and particularly of John J. Patterson, to create a false impression about the relations wliich exist between. the" white and colored people” of South Carolina;-declaring that there are no signs of any collision, that the reports of such are disastrous to the prosperity of the people; and that any appearance of trouble which may have exeited was due “to the suggestions of bad men, who for their own ends, i_lfre intent in bringing about a rupture petween the races;”. and asking the Ikational authorities to investigate the truth of the statements made at Washington by Senator Patterson and oth(6TB; P ’ | .

Why Louisiana Rejects ellogg. In the election held November 4, 1872, John McEnery was elected Governor of Louisiana by 10,000-majority. Kellogg, the carpet bagger from Canton, Illinois, got 14800 negroes to make aflidavit that they had been prevented from voting. . On this pretext Warmoth, the then Governor; was enjoined from counting the votes and ordered to give up the ballot boxes.and their contents, which he never did.— Notwithstanding, the Lynch Board made out a suppositous set of returns, and on these Kellogg was declared ‘ Governor and sustained by President Grant.
