Crawfudnille ni Northwestern Railway.

Th« importance of Crawfordsville as a railway center, demands a more direct route to Chicago.and the northwest The Logansport & Southwestern road gives us, with the old'lines, railways in six directions—north, northeast, southeast, south, east and west. The Toledo & St. Louis, which is now regarded as a certainty, will add an enst|ern and a southeastern route—making eight diverging lines from our eity.

An examination of our geographical position, wlTl demonstrate tho importance of-another lino, through At^,*tica, to a poiot northwest on the lino of tho Chicago and Danville road. T' The making of this short linn of sixty miles, or les3, will give us the shortest line from Indianapolis to '"'Chicago, and will form an- important ^link in the groat through routo from

Baltimore or Cincinntit)r..to.„Chicag9 and the northwest. i' :Vhv! The gretft block, coal region to tho 'southwest, will be penetrated with thrco lines of railway, making this a common point—thus making this in the future, tho cheapest coal market in the

State. From this .point, thcrcforo, must our northern oities draw their.chief supplios. Chicago capitalists are talking of running a direct line from Chicago, by way of Attica, to Brazil, and it is possible that the enterprise will succeed, in which event, ire will need to construct only thirty miles to secure the shortest route from

Indianapolis or Cincinnati to Chicago. a Thi« city is now distant from block coakfrn'-tho I., Bfcs&.W. 11. twenty miles,—on tho L., C. & S. \V. 11. It. twonty miles,—on the proposed Toledo & St. Louis road, less than twenty tnilos. This is tho most northern commoa point for tho eoal railway lines, and, of course tho nearest common point to the lakes for iron ores.

The manufacture of iron requires our Indiana block coal and lsjko ^u. f) :pori$r ores, and OriffQncMi'U\ is the poUit of niimimuqi cxjicfist fqr thoso #5 materials.

This fact cannot bo controverted, as capitalists will not he slow to learn it. Our city has more advantages natually, for all branches of manufactures :in wood and iron, than jiny other in this or neighboring Statos, and a brillian future certainly awaits it. ,'.f MThe northwestern road will make our system of railways complete, and its construction should be entered on at an early day, With this done, as a railway center we will ho locatod at the ioterseotion of the great lines from

Indianapolis to Omaha, from Louis villc to Chicago, from Logan$port( to Ecansville, and from Indianapolis to

Chicago.

further objections to the magnificent to America. In Kingston, Canada, he committed theft and received a year's sentence. His next experience was at Pittsburgh

after a short career there returned

He was held for

some time -but desiring to go away, and not having the means, he robbed a man on the Alleghany bridge one dark night to procure them, but his usual luck attended him, and he was soon after arrested before he had lime to get rid of the results of his crime or leave tho city. This time he received a ten years' sentence, and while undergoing it was made to suffer, he says, more than ordinary man could have stood and lived. When arrested, he had on his person a fine saw made from the mainspring of a watch, and this he managed to secrete so carefully, that the strictest search failed to

reveal it. .-

Four times in three yearn

each time he was caught before he could get clear of the grounds. On each of the first three occasions his sentence was increased as punishment, but on the fourth it was determined to make him tell where the saw was. He refused all bribes, and laughed at the threats made to induce him to give it up, so it was resolved to use harsh means with him. He was put in the shower bath every day for several weeks, and kept there until the attending physician ordered the punishment.to cease, and yet he remained firm:' He was then chained to the floor by the arms and legs, and only allowed a respite of a few minutes cach day from this painful position, yet he held out in his determination to keep the saw, and even told his persecutors that if they would let up in their vigilenco in the least he would take advantage of it and get free. After several weeks of this treatment the prison physician ordered him back to work, and he was accordingly put in the chain gang and closely watched. At night he was locked in a doublystrong cell, and it seemed impossible for him to escape. He had become 60 reduced from his punishment as to be scarcely able to labor, yet in less than three weeks after being put to work, he sawed off his chains, sawed through his cell door, and by meanB of outside assistance escaped, after spending something like three and a half years in the-prison.

The tinie"at which this transpired at our Western Penitentary must have been previous to 1854, as in his furth er account of himself, Bucklin (his real name), says he landed in Cuba in that year, and was, there sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, but escaped and wcr^t ,to Mexico. There he was imprisoned for robbery, ft? serve ten years, but dug his way out. His next exploit wa» in Illinois, where he was arrested for safe-blowing. He escaped while awaiting trial. In 1866 he formod a partnership with the lleno gang, in Indiana, but after the hanging by tbe "Vigilants" at Seymour, fled to California. "His mother, he says, still lives at Dearborn Michigan. He returned there a short time ago intending to bccome an honest roan, but old associations' came on him so strong that he was forced to give up his good intentions and again take up his old lifV He says that he can remember thirty-ono murders committed by his "pals" in different localities, but denies having had a hand jn them. The greatest haul he ever made by any crime was 880,000 in California. Concluding this account of himself, this remarkable criminkl !«ays Ask any Chief of Police, any of tho detectives any of the Deputy United States Marshals, or almost any prison warden in the West, who Charles Hildebrand, alias Charles Laville, alias Tom, Pick and Harry, is, and they will say he is a black eyed Spanish-looking chap, of about thirty years, wiry, sharp, shrewd and one of the most noted pick-po3k-ets and robbers in the.country.—Pitts burgh Cam. .,

TIIG NORTH-WEST PASSAGE.

The Arctic Expedition of Captain Hall to Sail in May—The Steamer Polaris, licr Officers and Crew—Their Comforts and

Conveniences—The Proposed Route. Last spriqg the Polar exp'.oier. Capt. C. F. Hall, returned from the Arctio regions in the New Bedford whaler, Ansell Gibbs, after having passed five years of almost uninterrupted hardship and danger in endeavoring to ascertain positively the fate of his distinguished predecessor, Sir John Franklin, and at the same time solvo the problem of the nor(h-west p&ssago. The Captain, nothing daunted by his ill success, has always believed that it was in his power to discover the open Polar Sea, and demonstrate to the world that there was not only a north-west passage to it, but at a certain season of the year the passage was free of "the Great Greenland ice pack,'" and therefore practicable for navigation: Captain Hnll's explorations extended up through King William's Land, to nearly 80° north. The report of this expedition, which under the liberal patronage of Mr. Henry Grionell, was laid before Congress immediately qfter the explorer's return, and aid srns solicited from the

United States government for a second expedition/'3 An appropriation of $100,000 was made for Aretie explorations, and after much difficulty, a portion of it was assigned to Captain Hall, in aid of hb project. With this material -aid, together with that of Messrs. Grinnell and Beevort, he at

eut. The vessel was aaA tboraofbij

Her were

strengthened about the fore peak, and a shetbing .of heavy iron plates, firmly clamped and bolted together, was made to cover her bows from the larboard streak to witbie a few ioeha of the water ways, in order to better en-

able her to force her way'through the,

thick ribbed ice pick. In fact, every improvement which experience in Arc th navigation and ship building could suggest was perfected in the little top sail schooner rigged steamer, which her commander has christcned the "Polarift" -x"#'*

Captain S. O. Buddington, an old and experienced whaling master from tbe village of Groton, opposite New London, Connecticut, is to be the sailing master, and will carry with him, as assistants, officers who have for years buffeted the storms of the long Arctac winters. The crew is to consist .of twelve seamen, besides two

eookaMmfrflfc sAw nmubet 'Of HewfS: ards, and four firemen. All the seamen are picked, intelligent men, and it is said that there is not one of them that is not capable of navigating the ship himself. A corps of scientific gentlemen also accompanies the expedition, consisting of an astronomer, a geographer and a meterologist. It is also said that Dr. Herman Bissell, an eminent German naturalist, and chemist, a graduate of Heidleburgh, and who was a member of the recent Prussian expedition to the North Pole, accomponies Captain Hall's expedition in the same capacity. There are to be two»engincers, Mr. Kmil Scbuman and John Wilson, the former chief and Wilson assistant. Tho Polaris will have two cabins. The after compartment is to be divided into state rooms for the commander, the scientific corps, the sailing master, his mates, and the engineers. The compartments forward will be fitted up with berths, and every comfort and convenience imaginable, for the men who are to pass within its narrow confines many a weary hour of loneliness during the depressing gloom of the long Arctic night.

-J AN IMPORTANT FEATURE.

Two Esquimaux, Joe and his "cooney," or wife Hannah, who have been with Captain Hall a number of years' and who have become partially civilized, and speak the English language intelligibly, also go with the expedition, tbe former as the interpreter. and the latter in the capazity of a tailoress. It has been long ago demonstrated that the woollen clothing of the white man is absolutely worthless to protect the Arctic travelers from the cold, piercing blasts to which he is exposed, and the costums of the Innuit or Esquimaux, consisting of the deer skin kooly-baug—a sack j'ump'er Wixh'Vthr^fiooit— the seal-skin breeches, one over the other, aud covered with moccasins of seal skin, with high leggins, have been adopted as the ouly articles of apparel that are imprevious to .the inclemencies of the fearful climate. The Esquimaux tailoress is, therefore, .an important and really indespensablo personage aboard the Polaris.

THE ROUTE.

It is undersrood that Captain Hall will sail from Washington instead of New York, as was qt first supposed, about the 25th of May and the seamen, supplies eto., engaged in this city, will be trensported as a Government tender in a few days to the capital. -The exploring party reaching Cape Resolution by the middle of June, will cater Hudson Straits, and steaming slowly up the broad channel, will occupy the time until the pack ice opens in July in trading with the Esquimaux at Upper and Lower Savage and Southampton Islands, the former situated in the Straits, and the latter at the head of Hudson Bay They will there procure furs, skins, etc., for clothing, and will provide themselves with several packs of the indispensible Esquimaux dog, with which to hunt and drag their heavy sleds. As soon as the Straits are clear of ice the steamer proceeds to Repulse Bay. Capt. Hall's old rendez vous, and, if it is practicable, will then make an effort to force their way through "the pack" ice icte Fox's Coannel, and up through King Wil liarns Land to about eighty degrees north. Here they aro expeotcd to spond their first, winter.

E irly iu tbe spring of 1S72, after haviog passed the winter in training dogs, establishing caches and making other important preparations, the party will leave the vessel and start, with their boats secured to the sleds, and amply provisioned for six mouths, on their journey over the ice to Baffin's Bay, Smith's Sound, and, it is hoped, the Open Polar Sea. The Polaris will be fitted out with every necessary required for the perilous voyage her company will be beyond a doubt encounter and among the many useful and ingenious contrivances to econo mize space which have been improvised, she will be provided with a patent apparatus for. feeding her furnaces with seal oil instead of ooal. Captain Hall surmises that he will bo absent about two years and a half, and hnpes to return to the United States by Octo be.r, 1873. He is a very sanguine of success, and aserts that the arctic ex. perience he has already gained, and the adaptation of his system- to the habits of the Esquimaux, by long re3 idenee arifodg them, assure him of his abilita to accomplish much toward foring the icy barrier to the long sought object of eiscovery, which could not pofsibly otherwise be achieved.,.

& A Dangerous plaything. At Pawtucket. R. I., there lives a certain young gentleman, aged 18 months. The other dfry this -youth kept quiet an unsual time, and his mother, suspecting all was not right, went into an adjoining room to look him ,up. Here sh6 looked upon a sight which almost curdled hor blood with terror. Upon the floor by an open bereau drawer sat this "precocious youth," with a loaded and capped and self-cocking revolver in his hand, and he was amusiug himself by ramming the muzzle of the peice down his throat, working at the trigger, and hammering it upou the floor. As soon as the mother recovered from hee fright, she took the weapon from the child, and administered a remembrancr which will doubtless deter him from another such exposure of his prccious self to instant annihilation. It is almost a miracle that the child had not killed itself upon the spot, but strange to say not a barrel was discharged.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

The vexedfquestion of "Why.can't a won-an be a'Mason?" has been settled. Major Sherman, in an address delivered at Austin, Nevada, says "Women sometimes complain that they arc not allowed to enter our lodge and work with the craft in their labors, and learn all there is to be learned in the institution. We will explain the reason. Wc learn that before the Almighty finished his work, he was in some doubt about creat ing Eve. The creation of every living creeping thing had been accomplished, aud the Almighty had made Adam (who was the first Mason) and created for him* the finest lodge in the world, and called it Paradise No. 1. He then caused all beasts of the field and Girds of the air to pass before Adam for him to name them, which was a piece of work he had to do alqne, when Eve was created, who he .knew would make trouble if she was alllowed to participate in it, if he created her beforehand. Adam, being very much fatigued with the labors of his task, fell asleep, and when he awoke he found Eve in the lodge with him. Adam being Senior Warden, placed Eve as the pillar of beauty, in the South, and they received their instructions from the Grand Master in the East, which when finished, she immediately called the craft from labor to refreshment. Instead of attending to the duties of office as she ought, she left her station, violated her obligations, let in an expelled Mason, who had no business there, and went around with him, leaving Adam to look after the jewels. This fellow had been expelled from the Lodge with several others some time before. But hearing the footsteps of th«^ Grand Master he suddenly took his leave,' telling Eve to make aporns, as she and Adam were not in proper regalia. She went and told Adam, and when the Grand Master returned to the Lodge he found his gavel had been stolen. He called for the Senior and Junior.Wardens, who had neglected to guard the door, and found them absent. After searching for some time he came to where they hid, and demanded of Adam what he was doing there, instead of occupying his official station. Adam replied that he was waiting for Eve to call the Craft from refreshment to labor again, and tliaW the TDraft was not properly clothed, which they were making provisions for. Turning to Eve, he asked her what she had to offer in excuse for her unofficial and unmasonic conduct. She replied that a fellow passing himself off as a grand lecturer had given her instructions, and she thought it was no harm. The Grand Master then asked her what had become of his gavel. She said she didn't" know unless lhat fellow had taken it away. Finding that Eve was no longer trustworthy, and that she had caused Adam to neglect his duty, and having let one in whom he had expelled, the Grand Master closed the lodge, and turning them outset a faithful Tyler to watch the door with a flaming sword. Adam, repenting his folly, went to work like a man and a good Mason, in order to get Reinstated again. Not, so with Evn—she got angry about it, and commenced raising Cain. Adam, on account of his reformation, was permitted to establish lodges and work in the degrees, and while Eve was allowed to join him in acts of charity outside, she was never again permitted to assist in the regular lodge of the craft. Hence the reason why a woman can not become an inside Mason.

The Stolen Hides.

William Savcry, an eminent preacher among the Quakers, was a tanner by trade, and known by all as "one who walked humbly with his God." One night he had a quantity of hides stolen froift his tannery, and lie had reason to believe that the thief was a quarrelsome drunken neighbor, whom I shall call Johu Smith. The next week the following advertisement appeared in the county newspaper: "Whoever stole a quantity of hides on the 5th of the present month is hereby informed that the owner has a sincere wish to be his friend. If poverty tempted him to this false step, the owner will keep the whole atiiiir a secret, and will gladly put him in the way of obtaining money by means more likely to Bring him peace of mind."

This singular advertisement attracted considerable attention, but the culprit aloue knew who had made the kind oifer. When he read it, his heart melted within him, and he was filled with sorrow for what he had done. A few nights afterward, as the tanner's family were about retiring to rest, they heard a timid knock, and when the door was opened there stood John Smith, with a load of hides on his shoulder. Without looking up, he said, I have bronght these back, Mr. Savery, where shall 1 put theiu!" "Wait tiil I can get a lantern, and 1 will go to the barn with thee," he replied, "then, perhaps, thou wilt come iu and tell me how tuis happened. We will see what can be done for thee."

As soon as they were gone out, his wife prepared some hot coffee, and placed pies and meat on the tabie. When they returned from the barn, she said, "Neighbor Smith, I thought some hot supper would be good for ttiee." He turned his back toward her and did not speak. After leaning against the fireplace in silence for a few moments, he said in a choked voice, "It is the first time I ever stole anything, and I have felt very bad about it. I am sure I didn't once think that 1 should come to what I am. But I took to drinking, aud then to quarreling. Since I began to go down hill, everybody gives me a kick. You arc the first man lhat has ever offered "me a helping hand. My wife is sick, and my children are starving.- You have s-.-nt them many a good meal God bless you and yet I stole the hide*. But I tell you the truth when I say this is the first time I was ever a thief." "Let it be the last, my friend," replied William Savery. "The secret still remains between' ourselves. Thou art still young, and it isin thy power to make up for lost time. Promise me that thou wilt not drink any intoxicating liquor for a year and I will employ thee to-morrow on good wages. Thy little boy can pick up stones. But eat a bit now, and drink some hot coffee. Perhaps it will keep thee from craving anything stronger to-night. Doubtless thou wilt find it hard to abstain at first, but keep up a brave heart, for the sake of thy wife and children, and it will soon become easy. Wheia" thou hast need of coffee, tell Mary, and tbe fill always give it thee."

The Mor Jellow tried to eat and drink, but themqieeeroed to choke him. After v^lfSjjgring to compose his feelings he bo^ril Mt ImM on the table and wept like 4 wjbile he ate and drank,Utdn) h&t parted with him for tbe night, witfc jhe friendly words, "Try to do welt, Johtf,' and thou wilt always
