BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1872.
JTew Series.-VOL.VI.-NO. 14.
The seen was in Sacramento street, in front of a well kr.own hotel. It was twenty-two years ago, and San I rancisco was in her infancy. Quite a crowd had gathered on the st-eet, and the center of attraction was a jig fellow, who stood with newspaper in hand, raring and cursing. " What's the matter, Wolf? " asked a new comer, who was evidently familiar with the irate man. ' Matter!" returned Wolf, for that was his name, "matter enough, an' rough enough it'll be for some folks. Then young whelps that print this paper has gne an published somethin' 'bout me. 0, I'll fix 'em! They'd better never ha' been born I They'd better go an' kill themselves after ten minutes; it'll te an easier death fur 'em." Wolf was a noted desperado, who, it wait said, had killed more than twenty men, and but few knew bim who did not fear him. He was at that time chief of a gang of loafers and gamblers that were nearly always to be found lounging in the vicinity alluded to, and disturbing the peace of the whole neighboibood daily with riotous conduct. If th(ire was any law in those days it was i-el&ym executed against such charac tors, and in the full consciousness that they were feared they did pretty much as they pleased. The newspaper which had given deadly offense to Wolf was a little weekly journal, and its office was in the second
story oi a building on the same street with the hotel I have mentioned, and only a few rods -distant. It was pub
lished by two young men or, I might
say, ooys, lor tney were only eighteen and twenty years old, respectively named Darrell and Kaynos. The paper and its youlhfnl proprietors were already well known in the city of San Francisco. The article which had excited the wrath of the ruffian Wolf was a bold denunciation of himself and his crowd, and it particularly mentioned him by name, characterizing him as a " blustering bully." It was the work of young Darrell, a fearless boy bailing from the Western States. Before leaving his home in the Mississippi valley, he had acquired a fair education, so that he could atieast edit a newspaper in those early days ; and he possessed, besides, that courage and daring which may be natural in the first place, and which are more thoroughly developed by exposure to danger and hardships. Young Kaynes was quite a different kind of person in point of courage, being of an unusually timorous nature. To return to the scene on Sacramento street. Working himself up into his very worst mood and his best was bad enough Wolf tore the paper to atoms and started for the publication office, lie was followed by a curious rabble, most of whom were elated with the prospect of a murder, though there were some present who would have remonstrated with the evil-hearted man, had they dared. "Just you watch," paid Wolf, as he reached the door, "if ye want to see the'r bloody carcasses tumble out o' the window. It won't be long; I don't spend much time on such fellows." It was the intention of the cruelhearted man actually to cut the throats of these boyish journalists and throw tbeir bodies out of the window, for the gtatilication of the crowd, and the further exaltation of his already fearful nume. So the mob on the street awaited the issue with feverish expectation, an Wolf, nourishing his knife and revolver, entered Im, rude frame building and rushed up stairs. All unconscio-u of tbeir danger, the two young editors were busily pursuing their usual work in their primitive office. If they had heard the no se without, they paid no attention to it, supKMing it was merely a street row such it they were accustomed to hearing every day. Barrell was sitting at a rude table writing, and Kaynes was at the counter arranging some pajers for the mail.
1 lie y beard a clatter of heavv linin
on the stairs, but supposed it was eome
tough miner coming to subscribe for the naner. or. nerhans. to see a lawver who
occupied a .couple of rooms on the same'
Moor; lor tne building was only a two
afcory one, and the second floor was oc
cupied exclusively by them and tho Attorney their rooms being separated
' from bis by a narrow hall-way that was
reached by the night ot Btairi alluded to,
"An, nai i ve got ye, me young
imps i exclaimed tne desperado, burst inc in.
" Kaynes recognized him and turned
pale. Being at the counter, which faced
the door and extended across tne room
he was naturally the first mark lor
Wolf's voncenoe.
" Ye young rascals 1" he hissed, scowl
ing like a madman. " Ye'll never write nor print nothin' more, 'bout me.'' Here
he flourished his knife and revolver above bis head. " I've got a sure thing on both of ye ! " Saying this ho looked about him, with a . careful scrutiny, to see that there whs no nieniiB of escape for tho quiet youth at the table, who, of course, 'Arould not dare to jump over the counter and try to pass him, but would cower clown in n corner and take his turn at '.Jcing killed ; then ho reached across the counter and seized Kaynes by the liair, which was unfortunately very long. Coiling tho terrified young man's locks around the great, coarse lingers of the left hand, Wolf laid the revolver upon the' counter, without the slightest apprehension that his youthful adversary would sualch it up and use it on him, as he might have done had he possessed tbe nerve, then flourishing his big gloaming knife deliberately with pure iiendishness, prolonged Kaynes' terror ar d pain. "Now, pray, you young un'" he hissed. " You"vo got a couple o' seconds or so lelt jest while I'm clippin' yer cars oil". I'll take 'em off first, clean and (smooth, then I'll cut yer throat an' throw yer out o' tho winder. D'ye hear that?" Such w s Wolfs reliance on the terrrr his name everywhere inspired, that he never dreamed ol resistance. He simply intended to butcher the two young men. and such a thing as an obstacle to his will wis not to be thought of. Ha l Darrell possessed no more nerve than Kaynes there can be no doubt that they would have been murdered then and there in the exact accordance with Wolf's pre gramme. "Time! " ho said, grinding his teeth in an ecsta'cy of rage, and drawing Kayiies' white face closer to his own repulsive countenance. "The're a waitin' to see yer carcass drap down into the street." Hero he flourished his knife and
selected his mark. " Right ear first. Watch how clean an' smooth I'll t-tke it off. I won't even touch a hair." Kaynes bawled for mercy. "0 -0 don't," the poor fellow shrieked, trembling with terror. " O, don't, Mr. Wolf! I didn't write that, on my soul !'' and he whined like a schoolboy. " None o' yer lyiu I" said Wolf fiercely. " Yer both wrote it, darn ye ! t.n' both of ye'll pay for it !" Here he executed decided circles with his flashing knife, having apparently prolonged the
torture as much, as lie desired. " Here goes; look out when I count three 1" The knife was ready to descend. " Ono two" He stopped and started. He had not observed the movement of young Darrell during the last few' seconds, and
just us ho was on tho point of clipping
oil Kaynes' ear m the polished manner he had dessanted upon, he found the muzzle of a rifle thruiA almost into his face. It was a loaded rifle, which, luckily, a
friend of Ds.rrell's had left in his keeping that very morning while he went out to make some purchases. It had
stood in the corner of the room near his
table, and Larrell had seized it, cooked and leveled it with such dexterity that he had Wolf covered before his movements were observod ; and he stood motionless is a statue his cool eye glancing over the sights, and a steady linger on the trigger. " You great bully !" he said; "drop that knite instantly. Mind, I camo fiom the country whero they shoot squirrels only through the eye. I can hit any hair of your big head that you will mention at a hundred yards. Drop that knife!" The ruffian was fairly paralyzed. He relaxed his grip on poor Kaynes, who sank fainting on tho floor, and. his murderous kniie fell upon the counter. So
unexpected was th.s bold attitude of
Karrcll that WoU was more startled
than if a dozen of the roughest men in California had assailed him.
there stood the bovish ad i tot. mo-
tionless as tho wall, and the niuzde oi
tins rine di:t not move the breadth of a
ba r. Dar:eli held the desperado s life in his ham is.
You cowardly bullv!"he repeated
contemptuously ; " don't dare to move I cin send a bullet through your eyeball
wi.noui loucnini' tlio white. Don't
move the eighth of an inch, or I'll do
it, and throw your filthy carcass out of
the window 1"
Wuli glanced at his revolver lvinc
upon the counter, within two feet of his
eys, out did not venture to reach for it,
'Hare to touch that revolver so
much as look at it again," said Darrell, " tnd I'll make a red picture on the wall tho:e behind you. You blustering,
bragging knave ! you are a coward at
heart a despicable cur ! You cune up

Meekly obeying the imperative orders
of the youth. Wolf moved slowly out of
uie room into the narrow corrider.
Be careful; don't don't let that
gun go oil," Wolt stammered, as he
reacnea tne head ot the stairs.
At this moment the clamors of thr
impatient crowd below arose with terri
ble distinctness, and one shrill voice
w is neard to say :
"Hurry up, Wolf. AVhy don't you throw them fellers out '"
Exasperated beyond measure, he was on the point oi" lun.ing back, at the

Htuwiu now couta no luce tuos below

n:g by one ol Mie puny l)0ys ho had in
unaeil so terribly to chastise? But
Darrell was alter him, and with one vie
oious kicK sent huu heels over head
down tho wooden stairs, with a thun
ioring clatter, add rolling over the doorrsill the defeated bully actually tumbled at t upon the street before he could recover his equilibrium. "lit How! How's this? What's up?" asked a dozen voice.') at once, as the
dreaded man reappeared in this undig-
nihtul shape, without having pent any corpses down from the window. "Why, I simply kicked him d wn stairs that's what's the matter I" responded the boyish voice of Darrell at tho head of the stair.-; "and if he comes horo again, I won't let him oil' so easily. Don't be afraid of him, I took all of hi-5 weapons from him." Well' struggled to his feet, rubbing his head, and presenting such a ludicroas a.ipeainuce that he was greeted with jeers and bursts of laughter. So completely had he tumbled from his lofty eminence in the eyes of those who eifher tidmired or feared a bold murderer, that they who an hour ago would have dreaded to offend him by word or look, ne w regarded him only with eontempt laughed at and derided aim. "Ila, ha, ha !"' resounded on all sides. " Licked by a boy ! Bah ! Kicked down stiirs by a child ! Got vol-r barkers took from you! Where'e them corpses I Ha, ha, ha I You ought to be egged out of town ! Three groans for Wolf!" and the three groans were given with a w ill. "Three cheers for Uie little boy that licked him 1" was responded to by three loud and enthusiastic cheers. Never before had the crowd seen r. man with an established reputation, like Mr. Wolf, thus suddenly fall to such a depth of degradation. All his name, fame, prestige, melted away like a mist, and he was no longer feared no longer respected by the low thieves and cutthroats around him only despised. Yes, despised by the meanest of creatures, whom he had ofttimes l ullied as though they had been hound. How little, how pusillanimous ho
looked now, as be slunk away towards Montgomery street ! n,hose vrho had known him for the past year regarded
him a a giant, now tancied that he
stood barely five feet six in his boots.
The dread that had surrounded his
name had cleared away like- vapor.
Such, was Wolt s mortification when
he came fully to realize what a pitiable fiaure he had cut, that he left San
Francisco, and was seen in her streets
no lno 'C. Ihe 1aUuitytli.it nan appar
ently thus tar shielded and assisted bun
in his murderous work now suddenly deserted him. He was detinod never
to commit another murder ; but was
himself shot dead in Sacramento within
three 'weeks after the events narrated.
1 do not know what became of Kayne
or whether he is still alive, but I know
that Darrell, the brave boy whose cool
ness tind courage saved tnem Doin, is
to-day a gentleman of position residing
m a flourishing city ot Nevada.

Cooking Without Fi re, There is a place in Oregon called the Smoky Valley, where tho people have a curious way of cooking, They do not ht.ve the the trouble oi making a fire every morning when they wish to get breakfast. They just walk out with their kettles, coffee pots, and whatever else they need, and cook them at the boiling spring. The water seems a great deal hotter than the common boili ig water, and all they need to do is to hang their kettles in it for a short time, and tbe.r food is nicely cooked. They are able even to bake in it. The bread is put into a tight sauce-pan, and lowered into the boiling flood for an four or two, and then drawn up most exquisitely bidted, with but a thin rim of the crust over it. Meat is cooked here, and beans, wh eh are the miners' great luxury. It takes but a minute to cook eggs, op to make a pot of coffee or tea'; but if there should be a " slip between the cup and the lip," food would be gone beyond recovery. Protest of a Christian Horse. The Ballstown (N. Y. Ihtmneratnaya: During the recent Sunday School Convention, held in this village, ono of the delegates hitched his horse in front of S. H.

It, was u black, small ouy, with ono white hind foot, hitched to a black, gold mounted top buggy, in which was a white blanket trimmed with red. Dur-
iag the afternoon some one placed a
card on the horse on which was print
ed : " 1 belong to a ijtiristian ; havo

Are Republics Ungrateful!
The ingratitude of republics is pro
verbial, but it is doubtful whether the
imputation is always .just, in repre
sentative countries a continual succession of condidates for office is steadily coming forward, and the disappointed
ones almost invariably assign their re-
l action to ingratitude when it may easily
sprine lrom many other causes, ll a
man wants the republic to give mm more
than he hat given the republic, lie is
very apt to charge his constituents with incralitu le when they fail to indorse
his demand. The number of such per
sons beitig naturally great, it is equally
natural that the talk about the incrati
tude of republics should slip into a pro
verb.
The true test is best attained when
we take cases of unquestionable desert.
and find how they have been treated by
the people, for example, were the people ungrateful to Washington or
.Lincoln ? Are they ungratctui to urant,
She rmaii ,Sheridan,Farragut ? Of course,
there were somo who reviled Washington, and some who reviled Lincoln, just as their successors reviled contemporaneous heroes; but the proof of national
appreciation must be sought in national acts ; and in these wo tind tho trustworthy measure of aggregate popular
esteem. Mow, on the strength ot the precedents to be found in history, so far
from admitting the thesis of republican
ingratitude, we may sately say that republics are certain to reward, by every
means m their iiower. those who have
conspicuously deserved such favor. The service done the republio must, however, be of a national, not of a sectional or merely political, character. We can see how Silas Wright, or Levi Wood
bury, or Calhoun, or Douglas, or even Henry Clay or Daniel Webster, failed to bo Presidents without necessarily finding in those failures the proofs that re
publics are ungrateful. On the other
hand, in the re-election ot Washington
and of Lincoln to the same exalted of
fice the grandest honor the people have to bestow wo find distinct proofs to the contrary, which, we feel thorough
ly assured, will nnd a worthy parallel
in the re-election of President Grant.
It cannot be denied, even by foes,
that in at least as thorough a sense as Gen. Washington created the nation,
Gen. Grant has preserved it. Desert can
hardly go higher than this ; nor can any
claim more solid be conceived to the
best reward the people haye to bestow. The scope and magnitude of this claim may be fairly estimated by contrasting it, in some detail, with the claim of an
opposing candidate, for example, Mr. Grcolev cried out for submission : Gen.
Grant captured liort uoneison. m.t. Greeley coquetted with rebel emissaries; Gon. Grant captured Vicksburg. Mr. Greeley lost heart and declared tho war a failure j Gen. Grant saved Shiloh and ordered tho march through Georgia. Mr. Greeley prematurely shouted On to Richmond 1" Gen. Grant in his own grave, impassive good time captured tho wholo rebel army, and entered ltichmond in triumph. Mr. Greeley fomented sectional strife ; Gen. Grant assured national union. While Grant was accomplishing, through good report and through ill report, his colossal and magnificent task of saving the Union, Greeley was doing all he could do to inspire tiie conviction of the hopelessness of that task,and to dishearten the country with li saucy doubts and fears." The Tribunes lire in the rear on our gallant army was almost incessant, and entirely in accordance with the wishes and requests of Mr. Greeley's confederate correspondents in Canada and Europe. So far as it was possible ia discourage President Lincoln and hi3 Cabinet, as well as the brave follows in tho front, the intlunce of Greeley and his organ was notoriously strained to tho uttermost to that end. Tho end hoped for was not compulsed, since the civil war was brought to a gloriou1; close in tho complete victory of Gon. Grant and the national arms ; but, short of going right over to the enemy, Greeley did all that ho could do to prevent and to defer that victory, and, whether " ungrateful" or
not, the Republic would bo baso indeed that thould forget tho fact. New York Timts.
Secessionists. Schoolmasters and mis
tresses had only to lach that, slavery
was the ooner-stone of the Republic, a God-given institution, and that it was
the chief end of man to purchase and
" wallop his own nigger," according to the Constitution, and the interpretation
thereof by the lato venerable Ohiet Justice Taney, to injure for themselves the most eenerous ',r.-atme.nt from tbe
Southern slave oligarchy. Mr. Greeley
knows as well as anybody that he can only "clasp hands across the bloody
chasm" of the late war by keeping these I
laws. Mr. Greeley knows as well as anybody, that there are hundreds of thousaiuls of "Confederates," in whose heart, hte of free institutions, of Iree speech, of free black men and of tho Government under the recent amendments .0 the Constitution, burns as fiercely is it did in the hottest period of the rebellion. Col. Hatch says all these thousands upon thousands of " true Confederates' are for Greeley ; through the mystic power of the secret oaths ai .d bonds of the Ku-Klux Klans, 3ol. llhioh is able to pledge" them for Greeley. Every marked midnight assassin who prowls about scourging, burning and murdering negroes and white Republicans is for Greeley. Every man who o vns Confederate bonds is for Greeley . Every mt-.n who ever owned a negro (with a few honorablexceptions) is for Greeley. .Every man who has a rascally, dishonest claim against the Government, growing out of his own treason to his country, is for Greeley. Every laan who wants to saddle the people with the entire C onfederate debt is for Greeley. Every man who wants to place Confederate soldiers on a level with Union soldiers, by adding them to the pension rolls of the country, is for Greeley, because he said: "I pray for the time to come when the names of Lee and Stonewall Jackson will be equally revered by the American people with those of Grant and Sherman." But no man who was once the proper -,y of another, subject to be bought and sold iike a pie so of merchandise, is for G.'eeley ; because he has deserted tbe party of liberty and adhered to that of treason, rebellion and slavery. No man whose wife and children were once liable to the polluting touch of a slaveholder who owned their bodies and souls, and whose virtue, whose hearts and -vhos'3 lives vere forced to submit to a degradation worse than death, at the bands of their masters, is for Greeley; because he has clasped the red banc, of "every true Confederate" acrots a chasm rendered bloody by crimes which blacken the annals of modern civilization. Col. Hatch "pledges every true Confederate for Greeley I" If "every true Confederate is for Greeley," every true patriot should be against him. If " every true Confederate" support Greely, it in expected that Greelev will sunnort the ideas and princi
ples of the Confederacy. Presidential support of the principles of " the lost caujie"- will revivei it, will redivide the
country upon old issues and may again plunge the nation into the horrors of civil war. The nomination of Mr. Greeley by the Democracy, his enthusiastic support by the worst rebel elements of the South, and his indorsement by " every true Confederate," all show that the Confederacy is not dead, tha. it slumbers as an organization, but lives and burns ixb a cherished hope in the hearts of the Southern people. Who will assume the fearful responsibility of warming it into new life? Chicago In'tr- Oeean. Grant's Kc-Election necessary. We need scarcely call attention to the inadequate but striking synopsis of the speech of Secretary Boutwell at Greensboro', North Carolina. It strikes the key note for the music of this campaign. Hi protested against the advice to clasp hand s across a bloody chasm. The hand-I'liu-p-ng, delightful and tempting as it seemed, had bitter be delayed till the chstm can be filled up, and both parties can meet fraternally above the closed abyss on solid ground. The bloody chsstn could not be tilled, he said, till the South agreed, not only that all were equal before tho law, but that they ought to be, for only in the prevalence of this rtfntiment can a law for the protection of personal ricuts be enforced.
He said that the financial policy of
Gn.nt's administration was : 1, to secure the faithful collection of the public revenues ; 2, reduction of the public expenditure ; 3, re-establish the public credit and reduce tho interest account ; 4, reduoo taxation, and finally prepare the wa;.r for the resumption of specie payment at the e? rliest moment consistent with the prosperity of the country. The Set rotary showed that nearly one-half of :.dl the revenue collected under Johnton's administration was stolen by thiev-

Self-immolation 1b England. Death lately occurred in Brighton, England, of a character heretofore unknown on English soil. A woman immolated herself upon the altar of affection for her deceased husband, under peculiar circumstances. Moses Spinematin, a very wealthy merchant, during his many mercantile expeditions visited Malabar. Here he fell in love with a native woman, and parried her in the presence of the British ConsuL
At the end of six months after tb marriage he took his wife to England
and into his home at Brighton. The
young wite clung to all tne customs of her native land, and refused most persistently to be converted to the English Church. She had a kind of a temple built on her husband's estate in tbe country, and went into it every day to iter up her devotions according to the rites of her own faith. At length, her husband died. The widow appear
ed to suffer the most intense agony of
soul. She looked upon tne corpse, nnd
threw herself upon the lifeless form of
her husband with a terrible frenzy- of
despair. She'"wre44rt,-hjiBr,
tore her clothes and disfiniSett
beautiful features with her nails. On the evening after the funeral of her husband she disappeared. After three days' unsuccessful search for her, the servants bethought themselves of looking in her temple, and had a presentiment that something terrible had happened to her. They did not find the
woman, but thry found a heap of ashes
still smoking, and tne smell of burned flesh. She had evidently built her funeral pyre and immolated herself there
on. Upon searching among the ashes
they lound portions ot human remains,
which, together with the peculiar odor
emitted, satisfied them of the fate of the
poor woman. Simple Remedy for Danirnff.
John L. Davis, in the American Jour
nal of tharmasy, says : " The writer,
during a number of years, tried the differentalcoholic solutions without per
manent benefit, and as a last reaort, was
led to adopt the plan of cleansing the scalp with borax and carbonate of potassa. This proved effectual, but alter'
a persistent treatment of some months the hair bscame sensibly thinner, and nerhans would have soon disanoeared
altogether. The belief that dandruff
arises from a disease of this skin, al
though physicians do not seem to agree on this point, and the knowledge that the use of sulphur is frequently attend
ed with very happy results m sucli diseases, induced me to try it in my own
case. A preparation of one ounce flowers of sulphur and one quart of water was made. The clear liquid was poured
off, after tne mixture bad been repeat
edly agitated during intervals of a few
hours, and the bead was saturated with
this every morning. In a tew weeks every trace of dandruff had disappeared, the hair became soft and glassy, and
now, after a discontinuance ol the treatment for eighteen months, there is no indication of the return of Uie disease.
Other persons to whom it ban been rec
ommended have had the same results, and I communicate the result of my experiments in the belief that it may
be valuable and acceptable to many
who have suffered in the same manner
as myself."
The " Young Admiral."
Col. W. R. Roberts, Representative of
tha Fiftl) Congressional District in JNew York, has recently done a worthy thing for a ntiember of Congress to do. There was a vacancy in the Naval Academy, and he offered to recommend to fill the place the boy who would pass the best competitive examination. At the day appointed, some thirty boyB presented themselves. Most of them were the
sons of rich parents, and they came to the City Hall well dressed, and .some of
them i n carriages, uenina tnem came a poor, ragged Irish newsboy, named Johnny O'Keefe, but ordinarily known
as the " ragged miner," or tne wnan-
rat." A large number of the boys were ruled out on account of physical dis-
aualificationp, but Johnny, who had
braved all the storms since he was six years old while selling newspapers on
the street, and when bis only amuse
ment consisted in climbing the rigging of vessels in the port, diving from the v ai d-arms of ships and swimming under
their hulls, was of sound body. He showed himself of sound mind to, and of st Adiouslhabits ; for he passed the best exariination by far of any of the appli
cants, and was, with one acoora, de
clared most worthy of the place. They call him the " young Admiral" now, but
he keeps on selline papers, aad will con
tintie to do so until the school fy ear
