Leaflets from a Southern Home.
BY MUS. E. U. DAVIS.
"Washiugtou's birthday occurring
ou Sunday, it was mostly celebrated
on Monday, and the morning of the
23d of February found me making
one of the crowd which darkened
the streets of Washington City. I
felt exceedingly independent, for
ray time was at my own disposal,
and I was not annoyed by the often
aistracting conversation of a friend
just at the moment when one is lost
in thought and admiration of some
object of beauty.
It was ten o'clock in the morn
ing, a morning as warm and balmy
as Ma' in the northern states, when
I entered the splendid park sur
rounding the Capitol, and wended
my way over the broad parti-colored
marble pavement towards the huge
flight of steps which lead to the
maiu entrance. It is quite an
achievement to mount those steps,
something like climbing the sides of
a monntain, and one has but little
breath left when they get to the top.
I entered the rotunda, which is sur
mounted by the great dome. There
were a plenty of people in the ro
tundathere always arc. It always
wears a gay and festive appearance.
"Wc gaze upward until we grow
dizzy! One hundred and eighty
Xcet above us in the top of the dome
glows a magnificent picture of beau
tiful angels, flying across the blue
heavens, while from their hands
floats a banner, on which at this
distance wo plainly read the motto
E Pluribxis Unum. Seats are ar--Tanged
all around the rotunta, near
the walls; wo took one of them and
looked away across to the distant
seat in front of us, ninety feet 1 Man
seems so small of stature when com
pared with the work of bis own
hand! Away up, ninety feet from
the floor, a broad band of the wall
of tho dome has been left unadorn
ed, while the rest of tho whole inte
rior abounds in resplendent decora
tions. Three years ago an artist was
engaged to paint in life-size charac
ters an historical painting on this
broad band. Ho was an old man,
and he had no superior in his art in
America. A scaffold in the form of
a great box with the lid off was let
down and suspeuded by ropes from
a gallery, aud into this daily de
scended this old maul Above the
din and the echoing footsteps of the
multitude, he silently pursued his
work. He knew that he was work
ing out immortal fame for himself;
for threo years ho toiled ou in cd
thusiaBm, aud then the destroying
messenger camo to claim his own!
A false step, and he fell to the
marble pavemcut below, a martyr
to his work! The artist was dead!
but a third of his task was done!
Now, who will take up the brush
and the pallctte, and paint within
this graud dome this magic picture
of life? Such is life! our work but
half accomplished we are called
home, others take it up. This
great fresco painting is in the light
er shades of drab, and it stands out
in such bold relief that it is very
often taken for statuary.
Wo passed out on to the front
portico, and stood on the top of the
flight of steps, aud looked away off
at this city of magnificent distances
bathed in an .Indian summer haze.
It was a -holiday, and tho schools
were closed, and troops of children
of all ages aud conditions, were
coming to tho capitol. The govern
ment offices were closed but the day
was not observed in any especial
manner. The District of Columbia
lies mostly on the Maryland shore
of the Potomac, but 6ix miles away,
across the river in the old city of
Alexandria, the day is observed
with exceeding pomp for Alexan
dria is in Virginia, the birthplace of
Washington, and when a little boy
he came to this town to buy a book
which he sent with a child-like note
to his little friend George Mason,
who afterward signed the Declara
tion of Independence. Here is the
old ivy -covered church, where
"Washington worshiped and here,
at tho present time, resides "Madame
"Washington, with her son George,
Bhe is grand niece of the President.
On the Sabbath wo worshiped in
the memorial church, so called be
cause it was built with funds col
lected from ihe Congregational
churches and societies throughout
the land; uutil then thcro was no
church of this denomination in
Washington. It is a grand pile of
buildiugs, aud it has in addition to
the auditorium, parlors, lecture
room, music room, etc. Doctor
Rankin is the eloquent pastor of
this church. The organ is the larg
est in the city, and is a magnificent
instrument. It is placed in front of
the congregation and back of the
pulpit, and a low gallery in front of
it is used for a select choir who lead
congregational singing through a
part of the service, aud make most
excellent melody on their own ac
count tho rest of the time. The mu
sic is under the direction of an artist,
Prof. J. "W. Bischoff. He is organ
ist, and has the immense instrument
under complete control, and trains
his choir up to a high point of art.
Bat this, man is bund! Entirely
blind from infancy, he has made for
himself a great reputation. He has
s fine salary as organist, and aside
from that, he has an the music
holars that he can possibly attend
and his charge for tuition is two
dole's an hour. He has an excel
led
and two beautitnt cnu
'hom are blessed with
the best of eye sight. He is a very
handsome, noble looking man, of
about thirty-five years of age, very
fascinating in maimer, and ha5 an
intellectual face which beams with
smiles, and he is lively in conversa
tion, aud excellent company. Ho
has as attendant, a colored boy, a
part of whose business it is to read
new music by note to him, which is
all ho requires to understand the
mo6t difficult composition. Profes
sor Kischoff came into church, took
off his overcoat and sat down on a
seat below stairs. Then he got up,
ran briskly up the gallery stairs, and
walked around to the key board of
the organ without making a misstep.
No one would know that he was
blind by his manner! The sublime
music which he produced reminded
us of the words of the poet,
"That prelude! It is a wind among the
willows.
Rising, until it seems the tempest's
roar,
Now a wild ocean, beating its great bil
lows, Among the hollow caverns of the
shore.
It is the voice of some vast people,
pleading
For vengeance, for an ancient shame
or wrong
The shout of God's avenging armies,
leading
With rolling thunder, and triumph
ant song.
Yet ever lurking in the heart there lin-
gers
The trouble
of a false and jarring
tone.
Like .some great organ, whom unskillful
lingors
Vex Into music, when the master's
gone!''

Obituary
CHA.UXCEY DEWEY.
A dispatch received at this office
from Cadiz, dated S :10 a. m. Sunday,
says ; ''Chauncoy Dewey is dead ; a
noble citizen has been called away;
the town is in mourning. Fuueral at
at one o'clock Monday." Mr. Dewey
was an old and greatly respected
citizen aud for many years has been
one of the leading men of Cadiz. He
was born in Connecticut, near Nor
wich, iu March, 170G, and came to
Cadiz when a young man in the fall
oflS2l, when that town as well as
the State was uew. Possessiug an
Eastern education, he was soon re
cognized as a leading spirit by the
residents of the then small village,
and was speedily sent to the front
when public matters were under
discussion, and his social positiou,
as well, was assured. Ho soon after
connected himself with thePitchard
family, one of the pioneer families
at Cadiz, by wedding the oldest
daughter Nancy, which marriage
was happy in every regard, Mr.
Dewey having a wife through all
his years of married life who was to
him a faithful compaujou and a
help. Ho entered upon business life
as an attorney aud speedily acquired
a leading position at the bar, as will
be seen by consulting the papers of
that early date. At one time he had
associated with him as juuior part
uer Edwin MStauton, who then
resided in Cadiz and who many
years afterwards was known as the
"Great War Secretary." In 1841 Mr.
Dewey was elected to the Ohio
Stale Senate from the district com
posed of Belmont aud Harrison
counties and proved himself a most
efficient and honest representative
of the people, but not pleased with
politics, he returned to business
alter one term. Wheu the Harrison
Branch of the Slate Bank of Ohio
was organized about 1S4G or '47 he
was mado President and held that
position until it was merged into
the Harrison National Bank, in
1865, of which institution he has
been President ever since its organ
ization. Under his management,
ably seconded by an active aud in
telligent Board of Directors, this
bank has enjoyed an interrupted
career of prosperity, the only inter
ference with which was a heavy
robbery committed by a set of pro
fessional New York burglars iu
1SCG. After this event the stock
was immediately made whole, and
the bank has since regularly declar
ed heavy dividends, beside which it
has laid by a surplus of 65 per cent.
It has long been known as the most
successful and heaviest banking in
stitution in Eastern Ohio, on a cap
ital of $100,000, tho deposits not
infrequently ranging from $300,000
to $400,000, and the discounts ap
proximating half a million. Mr.
Dewey has been no less successful
iu tho management of his private
affairs, and at the time of his death
was probably the wealthiest man in
the Sixteenth Congressional district.
He was no ordinary man in busi
ness qualifications, and left his im
press in many ways upon tho
community in which ho lived. He
was very active in pushiug through
the Stcubenvillc & ludiana railroad
project, especially the Cadiz branch,
and was for many years a director
of that road aud its successor, the
Pittsburg, Columbus & Cincinnati,
but retired when the present man
agement of tho Panhandle took
hold. In deference to his peculiar
abilities he had conferred on him
the degree of L. L. D. in Franklin
College, of New Athens, some years
ago.
Chauncey Dewey, though about
So years of age, was, uutil quite re
cently, as well preserved physcally
as most men are at sixty, and his
head was as clear as it ever had
been. He was so fresh in appear
ance that it was a real pleasure to
look at him. His habits have been
extremely temperate and regular,
although he was not entirely devoid
ofsome of the smaller vices, such
as the use of tobacco. Although the
rest of his family died at ages com
paratively young, some from con
sumption, ho has proved that by
proper care it is possible for even
persons with the consumptive taint
to live to a great ago and enjoy al
most uninterrupted good Health.
Ho united with the Presbyterian
church, under the ministration of
Dr. Wm. M. Grimes, about ten
y ears since, and was a great admirer
and fast friend of his old pastor. He
leaves a wifo and five children, all
of whom are settled in life, the
youngest, Albert, having married a
young lady from New York a few
weeks ago. The children are Eli
phalet, living in Texas, Orville C,
of Dewey, Vance & Co., "Wheeling,
and Charles P., Cashier of the Har
rison National Bank, Albert B., and
Clara, wife of C. M. Hogg, all of
Cadiz. Beside children who died
when yonng, he had - one other
daughter, Mary, who became the
wife of E. F. Moffitt, both of whom
have been, dead for several years,
leaving one daughter.
We deeply 1 egret to record Mr.
Dewey': death. Ho was a man uni
versally honored aud respected, and
whose place in any community
would be exceedingly hard to fill.
Tho fuueral took place at Cadiz on
Monday. All county offices, the
post-office and all business houses
were closed and all business suspen
ded that day.
We clip tho aboyo from the Steu
beuvillo (O.) Gazette. Many of our
readers were personal friends and
acquaintances of Mr. Dewey, and
though not surprised to hear of his
death (for he was an aged man) yet
weep with those who weep, and will
be interested in the above brief
sketch of his life. Ed. Journal.

Ic1ra4ln
Another evidence of the richness
of tho soil of Nebraska is fouud in
the fact of the number and great
growth of tho native grasses, which
afford the very best pasturage from
early spring until the month of No
vember. Those who havo investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred and filty species. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere in the Stale except on
the low bottom lnnds. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its growth is from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to the
height of seveu and ten feet. On the
up-landp, blue-joint grows in great
abundanco and is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo gras3 now in the
greatest quantity is found in the
western half of the State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but it is nature's proyision of
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, when the animals are com
pelled to remain on the prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all the year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly in the State are
several varieties of bunch grass ; and
in the low lands a native blue-grass,
and what is known as the spangle
top, which makes an excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among the first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in tho
State or not, but finding the wild
fruits, such as plums, grapes, and
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
might be cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers in
the eastorn part of the State planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings failed, but they persevered and
the result has been a complete suc
cess. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other state?. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va., one
hundred and forty-six varieties of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen of
pears, one of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded the first
premium for the best collection of
fruit among all the States. The
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago and at the
International Exhibition in 1870, the
judges awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth and
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixty-three varieties of apples,
the latter prize being for tho unusu
ally large number of finely grown
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in the eastern part of the
State and near the Missouri river,
they do well away out on the prairie
wherever nature's conditions of
growing fruit are observed.
But few men can handle a hot
lamp-chimney and say there is no
place like home at tho same time.
