YE CAN CONQUER, IF YE "WILL.
BY ANANIAS M. SAWYER.
Hugged toiler son of labor
Stoutly battling every day
For existence 0, my brother,
Tbou shalt triumph in the fray.
On life's changeful field of action,
Though defeat may oft appear,
Thou shalt win the victor's la urels,
If thou wilt but persevere.
Though thou are obscure and lowly.
Yc may reach the vi&bed for goal,
Grasp the prizes, wealth and station,
If thou hast a dauntless soul;
If thou haft a resolution
That misfortune cannot shake;
One in which the angry surges
An impression fail to make.
Art thou sneered at and derided
By the elf-stylcd lofty born!
lleed ye not the fool's contumely,
Or the weak mind's harmless scorn.
Art thou friendless friends will gather,
As do courtiers, kings around,
When thou hast achieved distinction,
AY hen thou hast position found.
Strong in faith, let naught repel thee;
Thou shalt in the end prevail;
In life's trials, and iu its battles,
None but dastard cowards fall;
Noble natures prove ascend snt,
In earth's tcighly contest rang;
To renown from dark oblivion,
Robed in glory up they sprang.
What if years of fierce endeavor
Have been spent by thee iu vain ?
What if thou hast met disaster !
Up and take the field again.
Wreck' and ruins all about thee,
Give not up, but struggle still,
Stubborn courge is resistless,
Ye can conquer if ye will.

Republicans have found the solid platform
which they may securely stand,

That they are unwilling further to sus

coal and ore to remain useless in the
ground, while draining the country of the
precious metals to pay for foreign iron:
That they do not desire longer to be
compelled to pay lor foreign labor, while
American laborers aro badly fed and
badly clothed, because unemployed:
That the belief is a necessity for total
change in our domestic and foriugn pol

That it ueed but union among our

of a system that shall restore prosperity
to the people, harmony to the relations

Handsome Men.
One of our exchanges contains tho fol
lowing curious remarks relating to hand
some men:
"If you aro ever threatened with a
handsome man in the family, just tako a
clothes-pounder while be is yet in bed,
and batter his head to a pumice. From
some causo or another, handsome men
are invariably asses; they cultivate their
hair and complexion so much, tbat they
fimfi to think nf their brains.
By the time they reach thirty, their heads
and hands are equally soft. Again, we
say, if you wish to find an intelligent man
'just look for one w. h feature, so rough
, that they might use his face for a nutmeg
,grater.

And is not this a question which may
well be addressed to every one who is re

as he looks around him, sees tho mercies
that have been poured into his lap; may
he not be asked "Is heaven also thine?"
And if such a question may be asked of

whether rich or poor! And may we not

Heavy on the Foot.
An Iowa paper reports a ladie's foot
race which came off on the 20th of Sep
tember, at Iowa City, the prize for which
was a very handsome silver cake basket.
The distance was one hundred yards, and
there were seven entries. Miss Handy
and Mrs. Cross led the field handsomely,
and they ran so even breast and breast
that when they came in the judges were
of opinion that it was a dead heat. In
deed, on measuring their tracks as im
printed on the score, the heels of both
wero found exactly parallel, but Miss
Handy's foot extending by reason of its
length four inches in advance of Mrs.
Cross, the prize was given in her favor.

Frank went home about ten o'clock last extremely critical, and her injuries ve-
t night
The family had retired, with the
exception ot tbo father, who was sitting
in a front room on the second floor. His
wife was in bed in the room adjoining in
the rear, and the two small children were
in a crib in the room with their mother.
Mrs. Gouldy says that as Frank came
in, she was just retiring, and he said to
her, "Why, mother, aro you up yet?"
"Yes, Frank," was the reply, "I am up
yet." He then passed into the room where
Mr. Gouldy was, and she heard some un
pleasant words pass between the two', and
fiually heard a heavy fall on the floor.
She had just got into bed, and thought to
herself, "Is it -possible Frank has struck
hia father TV and at that moment Frank
came into her room, partially raised the
netting from around the bed, and dealt
her a heavy blow on tho head with a
hatchet. She screamed and sprang up,
and he repeaten the blow twice, when she
fell heavily to the floor, breaking down
tho netting as she fell.
The murderer then passed through the
hall bedroom where his two brothers slept.
They had both gotten up, hearing the
noise, and he struck each a murderous
blow on the head with the same hatchet
ho had used upon his father and mother.
He left them both prostrate and covered
with blood, and passed on to tho stairs
and ascended to tbo third floor.
Tho apartments on the third floor were
occupied by himself, his sister Mary, and
the two servants. The servants had
heard the noise, and were in the hall of
tho upper floor as he went up stairs. He
immediately attacked them with the same
fatal hatchet prostrating each with a
frightful blow upon tho head.
Mary bearing tho struggle and screams
of the servants, opened her door, and
looking out, saw tho girls covered with
blood, but did not recognize her brother.
Believing it to bo a burglar, sho locked
room.
Had sho known it was her brother, she
would have rushed out; in which case she
would probably have been murdered.
After committing this series of atro
cious crime, it is believed the himicidc
wont down stairs, pulled off his boots and
coat, and donned slippers and morning
gown, in which costume ho returned to
his room.
But Mary, meantime, had not been i
dlo. She had raised her window, and
cried "murder I" And officers Morehouse
and Hull, of the Twentieth Ward Police,
who were standing on the corner of Ninth
avenue and Thirty-first street, heard her
cries, her room being in the rear of the
house.
They immediately wont to the house,
but tho door was locked; which delayed
their entrance for some time,but they suc
ceeded, with some labor, in forcing the
door.
It is probable that Frank heard them,
and found that ho was detected. Be this
as it may, before they found him ho took
a three-shooter, which was heavily load
ed, and placiug the muzzle to his head he
fired. Tho ball entered just above tho
right ear, and passed out just over the
left eye, causing instantaneous death.
The alarm having been given, the
neighbors rushed to the spyt. and beheld

portions of the parietal bone, several pie

Charlie, the boy of five, received a blow
about an inch and a half from the medi

The edge of the wound were brought to
gether, and the condition of the patient
is comfortable but dangerous.
The servants were taken to the Hospit
al immediately in a carriage, where Jo
anna Murphy died of her injuries this
mi i xt i i i
morning.
Tho girl, Elizabeth Carr, was danger
ously wounded, and probaply cannot re

of this unnatural crime is extremely crit
ical, and it would not be a matter of sur
prise if none of them should recover.
When-Frank, the homicide shot him
self the ball entered about two inches a
bovc the right car, making a frighful
wound, and fracturing the skull in vari
ous directions. From tho wounds the
brains flowed freely and lodged on the
floor, mingled with clotted blood.
Mr. Gouldy is about fifty years of age.
He is a trustee in the Methodist Church,
of which Mr. Crawford, the man who was
shot at in his pulpit by an insane man a
week ago last Sunday evening is pastor.
He was formerly a lumber merchant, and
had retired from business with an ample
fortune. He was esteemed by his church
as an oxcmplary Christian, and by all
who know him as an upright honorable
citizen. His wife and daugtcr, wo be
lieve, are also members of the same
church.
Frank, the murderer, was awakened by
tho revival last winter, and joined the
church on probation, or "on trial," aB it
is more generally callod. Bat he soon
apparently lost all interest in religion, and
returned to the habits which his father
hoped he had renounced forever. It is
said his father has urged him to attend
family prayer in tho eveuing but that ho
has of late refused to do so. Ho had
been placcd in a lawyer's office, but, uot
liking tho profession, had been taken a
way, and a situation procured for him in
a hardware store. Captain Curry, of tho
Twentieth Precinct, states that he was
well acquainted with him, and bad him
with himself in a real estnto office, in the
lower part of towu, some years ago, just
before ho had decided to choose mercan
tile pursuits. Tho young man had not
acquired bad habits at the time, andjs
said to have been free from tho use of in
toxicatinng drink. It appears, however,
that for some time past he had been ac
customed to stay from home late at night,
which had been the source of much ap
prehension in the family. His father had,
repeatedly admonished and chided him,
assuring bim that he would destroy his
character, and ruin his future prospect-',
by such irregularities. There bciug no
amendment of his conduct, the father as
sured him that it could not be tolerated;
that he must become steady and regular.
Rumors came at leugth to his parents
that Francis had been seen at disreputa
bio places, and in impropper company.
I This roused the old centlcman's temper
with his son, who loft the house, mOroso
and sulky, muttering vengeance. JNo re
formation ensued. Last night the family
liad retired except tho father, who sat' up
! in waiting. The young man earn a home,
U little past two, and being admitted, was
again chided, and went up stairs in a fit
of rage. A few moment afterward he
came down again, and perpetrated tho
awful deeds just narrated.
About nine o'clock last night, Mr.
Campbell, who lives next door to thV
scene of tho murder, saw him at the cor
ner of Thirtieth st. and Eighth avenue,
apparently much excited, carrying some
thing in hi&hnud wrapped in paper, and
oing hurriedly towards home. He be
lieves it to bare been the hatchet.
Subsequently to this however, he was
seeu in Showler's oyster saloon, No. 355,
Eighth avenue, where he took refresh
ments, and conversed pleasantly. Ho
was in company with a son of tho late
Dr. Doane, and Mr. Horn, a nephew of
Mayor Tiemann. He made an appoint
ment while there to meet an acquaintance
to-day.
The Latchet which he used in the exe
cution of his murderous designs is dull,
and has the appearance of having been?
used for opening boxes.

The Recent Brutal Prize Fight.
The fight between Morrisey and Hee
nan for ($2500 a side, which took place
in Canada, on the 20th ult., termiriaterf
in favor of Morrissey. Heenan was not
in a healthy condition, having been con
fined to his bed for a few days before tho
fight from the effects of an ulcer on tho
shin, caused years ago, by a b!w from a
pickaxe in California.
The fight took place on a barren sand1
bank, at Long Point, Canada, 78 miles
from Buffalo, the parties being conveyed
there in three steamboats. About twelve
hundred persons were present, and eleven
rounds were fought when both men were
evidently worn out with fatiguo. Heenan
exhausted himself by his previous efforts,
and in striking at bis opponent missed
him, spun round with the force of his
own blow, and fell in a fainting fit. His
seconds wero unable to revive bim for
the next round when the time was called
he was unable to stand, and a3 Morris
sey appeared at the scratch he was de
clared the victor. The rini: was imme
diately filled with Morrissey's friends,
who surrounded bim yelling and scream
ing their congratulations in his ears. He
was too far goue to speak, but he made
an attempt to smile, which was a most
ghastly thing to see, His eye was near
closed; his mouth cut, and lips swollen'
his tongue vissible through the blood; and
his nose literally battered flat to his face.
Heenan save hiss wollcn lips from the
severe "upper cut" he received, scarcely
showed a mark. His exhaustion was en
tirely due to his being out of condition
aud to his own tremendous exertioos,and
not to any punishment he received from'
his adversary.

blow ho made was with his righthand, catch'
ing Morrissey fairly on hiseye,and instant
ly followed with a terrifscielt-handed blow
on the nose, staggering Morristey and
drawiug the first blood. Heenan then
followed Morrissey to the ropes, adminis
tering such a series of terrible blows that
Moriissey was as helpless as a child before
him. When he got Morrissey to the ropea
he aimed at him oue of his most powerful
left-hand blows, whioh, had it taken effect
would instantly have ended the fight, but
Morrisey dodged aud Heenan's hand
struck one of the stakes with such force
as to break the third and fourth knuckles
of his hand. Morrissey saw his danger
and closed, but was thrown by Heenan
with perfect ease. This round astonished
not only Morrissey but all his friends;
they had anticipated an easy victory, but
every one -saw that Morrissey was even
now almost whipped. This round lasted'
4i minutes, and is said by those who pro
fess to know, to have no equal in the an
nals of tho ring for powerful and persist
ent hitting.
Tho feeling of all who witnessed the
battle is that Morrissey's winning was'
solel' due to his undoubted pluck and as
tonishing power of enduring severe pun
ishment, and not in tho least degree to
tho scieuco displayed by him. Ail the
fighting was done by Heenan, who recei
ved not ono blow to Morrissey's twenty,
aud had he bceu in a proper condition to
fight the result ttight have been very dif
ferent. Within eight hours after the bat
tle Heenan offered S1C00 to $S0O that
Morrissey is not the better mau of theu
two, the point to be decided iu tho ring'
within three months, but he found no
takers.
Morrissey has declared his intention'
to retire from tho ring and to fight no
more, but Hceuan will never rest satfsfkd
until h has either beaten Mr. Morrissey
or until that gentleman has pummelled
into him a thorough convictiou that the
Benicia Boy cau never become the Cham
pion of America.
After the fight, the parties, with their
friends aud admirers, filliug three steam--boats,
returned to Buffalo. Upon land
ing at the wharf, Heenan immediately'
proceeded to tho Bloomer Houso where
he washed his face, aud then took supper
with some friends. His face showed no
marks save a very slight discoloration un
der ono eye, and bis lips wero slighly
swollen from a blow which cut his lips a
gaiust his teeth. His left baud was bound;
up, tho two knuckles being broken.'
